Referring to fig. 1-5 and 8, the detachable connection structure is a snap connection structure; the first connecting piece is a buckle sliding groove 3, the second connecting piece is a buckle sliding block 5, and the buckle sliding groove 3 and the buckle sliding block 5 are arranged correspondingly. Adopt buckle connection structure, simple structure to easy dismounting can realize the installation through rotating the baffle and fix and dismantle, and is convenient for make processing, is favorable to reduce cost.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4 and 8, the snap runner 3 is disposed at the outer upper end of the baffle; the buckle chute 3 with the buckle slider 5 all is the arc setting. The adoption of the buckle connection structure with the arc-shaped arrangement realizes the installation and the disassembly of the baffle plate in a rotating way, and is simple and convenient to operate.

Referring to fig. 1-4 and 8, the snap runner 3 is a convex runner, and the snap slider 5 is a convex slider. Like this, utilize the structure of buckle spout 3 self both sides and the ears structure of buckle slider 5 both sides to cooperate during the installation to play the effect of chucking anticreep, simple structure, locking is effectual.

Referring to fig. 1, 4 and 8, the number of the detachable connection structures is 3. In this embodiment, the 3 detachable connection structures are equally spaced along a certain circumferential direction. By adopting the design of three-point locking, the baffle can be rotatably mounted to provide enough rotating space, and the baffle is prevented from interfering and colliding with the knock-off hole 6 in the mounting process. Of course, the number of the detachable connection structures of this embodiment is greater than or equal to 3.

Referring to fig. 1, the limit point of the snap runner 3 in the detachable connection structure is shifted 5 ° to the right. Through the arrangement, the purpose is to ensure that the direction of the baffle is positioned in the horizontal direction when the buckle sliding block 5 above the knock-out hole 6 and the buckle sliding groove 3 on the baffle are installed in place.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the baffle includes an outer panel 2 and an inner panel 1; the outer plate 2 is arranged on the outer side of the inner plate 1, the inner plate 1 is larger than the outer plate 2, the inner plate 1 is arranged corresponding to the knock-off hole 6 in the panel body 4, and the first connecting piece of the detachable connecting structure is arranged at the upper end of the inner plate 1. By arranging the baffle plate, the outer plate 2 can extend after being installed, and the outer plate 2 is arranged corresponding to the position of the knock-out hole 6, so that the appearance of a finished panel body 4 is formed; on the other hand, the baffle is conveniently dismantled in the outside of panel body 4, and the accessible grips planking 2 and rotates to realize the dismantlement of baffle, convenient operation. In addition, the inner plate 1 is provided to correspond to the knock-out hole 6, and the entire knock-out hole 6 can be securely blocked, thereby ensuring a sealing effect and preventing animals from entering.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the inner plate 1 has a combined semicircular and rectangular shape, wherein the semicircle is disposed above the rectangle, and the first connecting member is disposed at the upper end of the semicircle.

Referring to fig. 1-4, the outer plate 2 is of a cone-like configuration. During rotatory installation, the planking 2 that is class toper structure can avoid taking place to interfere with knock-off hole 6 to satisfy sufficient rotation space, and class toper structure accords with the change law of function, at the in-process of rotatory installation, can avoid the condition of mutual interference along the motion of oval arc limit.

Referring to fig. 6-8, the knock-out hole 6 of the panel body 4 is arranged at the lower end of the panel body 4, and the bottom of the knock-out hole 6 is open.
