1. A connector applied to connection to an external device, comprising:
a housing provided with an accommodating cavity and a first opening communicating with the accommodating cavity;
a circuit board disposed in the accommodating cavity; the circuit board being provided with a first signal connection point;
a connection head disposed on the housing, the connection head comprising a second signal connection point used to be connected to the external device; and
a switch disposed in the first opening, the switch being respectively connected to the first signal connection point of the circuit board and the second signal connection point of the connection head, and the switch being used for controlling the connection or disconnection between the first signal connection point of the circuit board and the second signal connection point of the connection head;
wherein the connector comprises a first fixing component, the first fixing component is disposed on the housing or the connection head, and the first fixing component is used to be connected to the external device and enables the connector and the external device to be in a primary fixed state;
the connector comprises a second fixing component, and the second fixing component is connected to the switch;
in response to the first signal connection point and the second signal connection point being controlled to be connected by the switch, the switch drives the second fixing component to be matched with the first fixing component or the external device in the primary fixed state to achieve secondary fixation for the external device, so that the external device and the connector are in an undetachable state; and
in response to the first signal connection point and the second signal connection point being controlled to be disconnected by the switch, the switch drives the second fixing component to be separated from the first fixing component or the external device in the primary fixed state to remove the secondary fixation for the external device, so that the external device and the connector are in a detachable state.
