s2.5, the piston (7) is completely pushed into the conductive sleeve (6) by the contact pin (8), the contact pin (8) is electrically connected with the conductive sleeve (6), and the connecting plug (4) is completely connected with the connecting socket (1);
the locking device adopts a threaded sleeve;
the step S3 specifically includes: ROV equipment pushes the connecting plug (4) to enable the connecting plug (4) to be connected with the connecting socket (1), the ROV equipment rotates the threaded sleeve, and the locking process of the connector is achieved through the limiting structure on the threaded sleeve.
