[0017] This application provides a mounting shell. As shown in Figs. 1 to 7, in one of the embodiments, the mounting shell 10 includes: a shell 100 and a cover 200, where

the cover 200 is covered on the shell 100 to define a closed space; the shell 100 defines

a clamping slot 102, the clamping slot 102 is provided with a stopper 110 extending

towards the closed space, the cover 200 is provided with a clamping connector 210

extending in a direction away from the cover 200 at afirst end, the clamping connector

210 is movably inserted into the clamping slot 102 and is movably abutted against a

surface of the stopper 110 facing a bottom of the clamping slot 102; and the shell 100

is further provided with a fixer 600 configured to movably fix the cover 200 thereon

after the cover 200 is separated from the shell 600.

[0018] Regarding the mounting shell 10 of this embodiment, on the one hand, because the first end of the cover 200 is movably inserted into the clamping slot 102

through the clamping connector 210 and is movably abutted against the stopper 110,

when the closed space needs to be opened, the cover 200 can be easily detached from

the shell to facilitate the replacement of the power supply. Figs. 2, 3 and 5 are schematic

structural diagrams showing the opened cover 200 and the exposed closed space. When

it is needed to close the closed space by the cover 200, the first end of the cover 200 is

inserted into the clamping slot 102 through the clamping connector 210 and is abutted

against the stopper 110 to avoid exposing the clamping connector 210 to the outside of

the shell 100 to damage the integrity of the mounting shell. Figs. 1 and 4 are schematic

structural diagrams showing that the first end of the cover 200 is inserted into the

clamping slot 102 through the clamping connector 210. On the other hand, since the

shell 100 is further provided with a fixer 600, when the cover 200 is opened to expose

the closed space and is separated from the shell 100, the cover 200 can be fixed on the

fixer 600 to facilitate temporary placement of the cover 200 during high-altitude

operations. Figs. 6 and 7 are schematic structural diagrams showing that the

disassembled cover 200 is fixed on the fixer 600.

[0019] It should be noted that the fixer can be movably fixed with the clamping connector, and can also be movably fixed with other parts of the cover. It is only necessary to fix the cover when the mounting slot is opened by the cover. For example, the cover is movably clamped to the fixer, so that the cover is movably fixed on the fixer. For example, the fixer defines a fixing slot, the cover is provided with an inserter, and the inserter is movably inserted into the fixing slot, so that the cover is movably fixed on the fixer. In another embodiment, the fixer is afixing block, the cover defines an inserting slot, and the inserting slot is movably sleeved on the fixer, so that the cover is movably fixed on the fixer.

[0020] Specifically, as shown in Figs. 1 to 7, the shell 100 defines a mounting slot 101, the cover 200 is movably covered on an edge of the mounting slot 101 and movably closes the mounting slot 101 to define a closed space, which is configured to mount the power supply assembly and the light source assembly. The cover is configured to be sealingly covered on the shell to define the closed space to protect the power supply assembly and the light source assembly. The clamping slot is configured to accommodate the clamping connector of the cover to prevent the first end of the cover from being exposed outside the shell. The stopper is configured to limit a position of the clamping connector, so that the cover is firmly connected with the shell when the cover is closely and sealingly covered on the shell. The fixer is configured to fix the cover, so that the cover can be temporarily fixed on the shell when the cover is opened to expose the closed space.

[0021] Further, the second end of the cover is detachably connected to an end of the shell, and the clamping connector is movably inserted into the clamping slot located in a middle portion of the shell. It should be noted that the middle portion of the shell referred to here does not mean the only middle position of the shell. The middle portion of the shell can be any position between two ends of the shell. For example, in this embodiment, the second end of the cover is connected to an end of the shell, and the clamping connector is connected to a middle portion of the shell, that is, the first end of the cover is not connected to the end of the shell. As such, when the second end of the cover is arranged adjacent to the end of the shell and the first end of the cover is arranged in the middle portion of the shell, by defining the clamping slot in the middle portion of the shell, and inserting the clamping connector into the clamping slot, the clamping connector located in the middle portion of the shell can be avoided to be exposed outside the shell to damage the integrity of the mounting shell.

[0022] In one of the embodiments, the mounting shell further defines a light source slot. The light source slot is configured to mount the light source assembly. Further, the light source slot and the mounting slot are defined on two opposite surfaces of the shell, and an opening direction of the light source slot is opposite to an opening direction of the mounting slot. Further, a position where the light source slot is defined on the shell and a position where the mounting slot is defined on the shell are staggered. Further, the light source slot is extended from one end of the shell to the middle portion of the shell, and the mounting slot is extended from the other end of the shell to the middle portion of the shell. Further, the clamping slot is located between the mounting slot and the light source slot, that is, in the middle portion of the shell. By defining the clamping slot in the middle portion of the shell, and inserting the clamping connector into the clamping slot, the clamping connector located in the middle portion of the shell can be avoided to be exposed outside the shell to damage the integrity of the mounting shell.

[0023] In order to position the cover when the clamping connector is inserted into the clamping slot, in one of the embodiments, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the stopper 110 defines a limit slot 201 on a side facing the bottom of the clamping slot 102, and an end of the clamping connector 210 is movably inserted into the limit slot 201. As such, when the cover is sealingly covered on the shell, after the clamping connector is inserted into the clamping slot, the end of the clamping connector is inserted into the limit slot, so that the cover can be positioned when the clamping connector is inserted into the clamping slot to prevent the cover from moving relative to the shell, causing the cover and the shell to be misaligned to affect the tightness of the closed space. For example, the cross section of the clamping connector is a hook shape, and the hook shaped clamping connector matches the abutted surface of the stopper defining with the limit slot.

[0024] In order to protect the clamping connector, in one of the embodiments, a cross-sectional shape of the limit slot is arc-shaped, and a surface of the clamping

connector movably abutted against the limit slot is arc-shaped. By setting the limit slot

and the surface where the clamping connector movably abuts against the limit slot are

all arc-shaped, the arc-shaped surfaces make the clamping connector not easy to be

damaged under long-term collision and contact and protects the clamping connector.

[0025] In order to facilitate the setting of the clamping slot, in one of the

embodiments, as shown in Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 5, the clamping slot 102 is communicated

with the closed space. As such, since the clamping slot is communicated with the closed

space, it is only necessary to define a slot on a side wall of the shell located in the closed

space to define the clamping slot, and a part of the side wall away from the bottom of

the shell can be reserved directly as the stopper, no need to form the stopper again,

which makes it more convenient to set the clamping slot. In addition, since the clamping

slot is communicated with the closed space and the part of the side wall away from the

bottom of the shell directly serves as the stopper, when the clamping connector is

inserted into the clamping slot, the first end of the cover covering on the shell can also

be seamlessly connected with the stopper, which further ensures the integrity of the

mounting shell.

[0026] In order to facilitate the temporary fixation of the cover on the fixer, in one

of the embodiments, as shown in Figs. 2, 3, 6 and 7, the clamping slot 102 is in

communication with the closed space, and the fixer 600 is located in the closed space,

disposed adjacent to the clamping slot 102, aligned with an opening of the clamping

slot 102, and configured to movably fix a side of the clamping connector 210 adjacent

to the fixer 600 thereon after the cover 200 is separated from the shell 100. Figs. 2 and

3 are schematic structural diagrams showing that the clamping connector 210 of the

cover 200 is separated from the fixer 600. Figs. 6 and 7 are schematic structural

diagrams showing that the clamping connector 210 of the cover 200 is fixed on the fixer

600. As such, when the clamping slot is communicated with the closed space, the fixer

is arranged in the closed space and adjacent to the clamping slot, and is aligned with

the opening of the clamping slot, when the cover is separated from the shell, the

clamping connector inserted into the clamping slot moves toward the fixer and away

from the bottom of the shell at the same time. At this time, only a short distance is

needed to fix a side of the clamping connector adjacent to the fixer on the fixer which

is adjacent to the clamping slot and aligned with the opening of the clamping slot.

Therefore, the cover is temporarily fixed on the fixer, and the cover is not required to

be completely separated from the shell, and then the position of the fixer is searched to

temporarily fix the cover, so that the cover is temporarily fixed on the fixer conveniently.

[0027] In order to automatically position the clamping connector on the fixer for

quick fixing, in one of the embodiments, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, two opposite side

walls of the clamping slot 102 are respectively extended toward the closed space to

form a first baffle 610 and a second baffle 620, the fixer 600 is located between the first

baffle 610 and the second baffle 620, the clamping connector 210 is located between

the clamping slot 102 and the fixer 600, and the clamping connector 210 is movably

abutted against a surface of the first baffle 610 facing the second baffle 620 and a

surface of the second baffle 620 facing the first baffle 610. As such, by arranging the

first baffle and the second baffle to form a fixing channel between the clamping slot

and the fixer, the clamping connector can be automatically positioned on the fixer for

quick fixing without spending more time on aligning and fixing the clamping connector

and the fixer.

[0028] In order to improve the sealing of the mounting slot, in one of the embodiments, as shown in Figs. 2 to 7, the mounting shell further includes a sealing

ring 230 arranged on the cover 200, sealingly connected with the shell 100, and

surrounding the closed space, where the clamping slot 102 is located outside the sealing

ring 230. As such, by providing the sealing ring, the sealing performance of the

mounting slot is improved, especially the sealing ring is configured to separate the

mounting slot and the clamping slot, so as to prevent moisture from entering the

mounting slot from the clamping slot.

[0029] In order to facilitate the fixation of the sealing ring and water blocking, in one of the embodiments, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the cover 200 is provided with a

first mounting ring 240 protruding in a direction toward the shell 100, the first mounting

ring 240 defines a sealing slot 241 in the direction toward the shell 100, and the sealing

ring 230 is inserted into the sealing slot 241 and at least partially located outside the

sealing slot 241; and the shell 100 is provided with a second mounting ring 130

protruding in a direction toward the cover 200, and the sealing ring 230 is in sealing

connection with the second mounting ring 130. As such, the sealing ring is embedded

and fixed in the sealing slot to avoid sliding of the sealing ring. At the same time, the

cover protruding with the first mounting ring and the shell protruding with the second

mounting ring can further prevent moisture from entering the closed space. For example,

a cross-sectional shape of the power supply slot sealing ring is a "T" shape.

[0030] In order to facilitate the temporary fixation of the disassembled cover on the

shell, in one of the embodiments, the clamping connector is movably clamped with the

fixer to movably fix the cover on the fixer. As such, by movably clamping the clamping

connector and the fixer, it is convenient to temporarily fix the disassembled cover on

the shell. In one of the embodiments, the fixer defines a fixing slot, and the clamping

connector is movably inserted into the fixing slot, so that the cover is movably fixed on

the fixer. In another embodiment, as shown in Figs. 2, 3, 6 and 7, the clamping

connector 210 defines a clamping slot 205, and the clamping slot 205 is movably sleeved on the fixer, so that the cover 200 is movably fixed on the fixer 600. For example, the fixer is a fixing block, and a shape of the cross section of thefixing block parallel to a bottom of the mounting slot is a "T" shape. As such, the "T"-shaped fixing block fixes the cover on the shell in three directions, which improves thefirmness.

[0031] In order to facilitate the disassembly of the first end of the cover from the shell, in one of the embodiments, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 8, the second end of the

cover 200 is detachably connected to the shell 100. Furthermore, the second end of the

cover 200 is in snap fit with the shell 100. By snap-fitting the second end of the cover

to the shell, it is convenient to disassemble the second end of the cover from the shell

first, so that the cover is opened to expose the closed space, and further the first end of

the cover is taken out from the clamping slot or is positioned on the stopper.

[0032] Specifically, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 8, the shell 100 is provided with a

bump 120 on an outer side, the cover 200 is provided with a locking buckle 220 at the

second end, and the locking buckle 220 is in snap fit with the bump 120. Further, the

locking buckle 220 includes a movable portion 221 and a buckle portion 222 connected

to each other, the buckle portion 222 defines a through hole 203, the bump 120 is

movably inserted into the through hole 203, the movable portion 221 is rotatably

connected to the cover 200 to drive the buckle portion 222 to be buckled with or

separated from the bump 120. When the buckle portion 222 is buckled with the bump

120, the bump 120 is inserted into the through hole 203; when the buckle portion 222

is separated from the bump 120, the bump 120 is located outside the through hole 203.

As such, by controlling the movable portion 221, the first end of the cover 200 and the

shell 100 can be detachably connected conveniently.

[0033] For example, the locking buckle further includes a rotating shaft, and the

movable portion is rotatably connected to the cover through the rotating shaft. For

example, a cross-sectional shape of the locking buckle is an "L" shape, that is, the

movable portion and the buckle portion are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0034] In order not to damage the integrity of the mounting shell, in one of the embodiments, as shown in Fig. 8, the second end of the cover 200 defines a mounting notch 204, and the movable portion 221 is movably arranged in the mounting notch 204. Specifically, the buckle portion is buckled with the bump, and the movable portion is arranged in the mounting notch. As such, when the mounting shell works, that is, when the cover is mounted on the shell, the movable portion is located in the mounting shell to prevent the movable portion from protruding from the cover and damage the integrity of the shell.

[0035] In order to facilitate the control of the movement of the movable portion, in one of the embodiments, the movable portion is located in the mounting notch, and a gap is defined between the movable portion and the mounting notch. As such, the rotation of the movable portion can be controlled by the gap to drive the buckle portion to rotate, so that the buckle portion and the bump can be buckled together or separated.

[0036] In order to avoid damaging the integrity of the mounting shell, in one of the embodiments, a surface of the cover facing away from the clamping slot is flush with a surface of the stopper facing away from the clamping slot. In this way, the surface near the connecting position of the cover and the shell is flush, avoiding damage to the integrity of the mounting shell.

[0037] This application further provides an LED street lamp. As shown in Fig. 9, in one of the embodiments, an LED street lamp 20 includes a light source assembly 400, a power supply assembly 300, a lampshade 500, and a mounting shell as described in any of the above embodiments; the power supply assembly 300 is arranged in the closed space; the mounting shell further defines a light source slot 401, the light source assembly 400 is arranged in the light source slot 401, and the lampshade 500 is movably covered on an edge of the light source slot 401 and movably closes the light source slot 401.

[0038] In one of the embodiments, as shown in Fig. 9, the power supply assembly includes a power supply 310, a lightning protector 320, an electrical mounting board

330, a quick plug terminal 340, a first power-off protection switch 350, and a second

a conventional setting for driving the light source assembly to emit light, which has

nothing to do with the improvement of the present application, and will not be repeated

here.

[0039] In one of the embodiments, as shown in Fig. 9, a level 370 is further
