Thus, the hinge cover 160, the wire arranging part 130 and the hinge 140 are fixed on the box body 110 together, and each mounting hole is made to avoid the wire arranging channel 132, thereby avoiding the wire bonding problem of the fixing piece. The fixing member and the other fixing member may be screws or bolts.

As shown in fig. 5, a plurality of sixth mounting holes 160c are formed in the region where the hinge cover 160 is located away from the wire arranging member 130, the hinge 140, and the built-in box 150, the plurality of sixth mounting holes 160c are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the hinge cover 160, and accordingly, seventh mounting holes (not numbered) are formed in the case 110 so as to correspond to the sixth mounting holes 160c one-to-one, and the hinge cover 160 and the case 110 are fixed by screws passing through the sixth mounting holes 160c and the seventh mounting holes.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, two door bodies 120 are distributed in a split manner, correspondingly, two hinges 140 are provided, the two door bodies 120 are respectively pivoted on the box body 110 through the two hinges 140, correspondingly, two wire arranging parts 130 and two embedded boxes 150 are provided, and the two wire arranging parts 130 and the two embedded boxes 150 are respectively in one-to-one correspondence with the two hinges 140.

The hinge covers 160 cover the upper sides of the two hinges 140 and extend laterally from the upper side of one hinge 140 to the upper side of the other hinge 140, i.e., the hinge cover 160 of the present embodiment is designed as a single body with respect to the design of the two hinge covers 160 with two split doors, and one hinge cover 160 covers the upper sides of the two hinges 140. As shown in fig. 5, the hinge cover 160 has a fifth mounting hole 160b located at the outer side and a sixth mounting hole 160c located at the inner side at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the upper end surface, and the hinge cover 160 further has a sixth mounting hole 160c at the middle position in the longitudinal direction.

The conventional method of mounting the hinge cover 160 and the case 110 in an integrated manner generally includes the steps of fixing the hinge cover 160 and the case 110 by screws through the fifth mounting hole 160b and the sixth mounting hole 160c, but since the hinge cover 160 in an integrated manner has a long length, the rear side of the hinge cover 160 is easily tilted during a long-term use, which may affect the appearance.

In this embodiment, at least one first fixing hole 160a is formed at each of two lateral end portions of the upper end surface of the hinge cover 160 facing away from the door body 120, that is, at each of two lateral end portions of the rear end surface of the upper end surface of the hinge cover 160, the first fixing hole 160a is located at the rear side of the fifth mounting hole 160b and the sixth mounting hole 160c, so that the hinge cover 160 is fixed to the box body 110 by a fixing member, such as a screw, passing through the first fixing hole 160 a. Thus, by adding screws to the rear side of the hinge cover 160 and combining the screws to the front side of the hinge cover 160, the hinge cover 160 can be prevented from tilting, and the appearance can be maintained beautiful.

Each of the exposed portions is further formed with at least one screw post 152c protruding upward, and the at least one screw post 152c is in one-to-one correspondence with the at least one first fixing hole 160a of the end of the hinge cover 160, so that the hinge cover 160 is fixed to the case 110 by the engagement of a screw passing through each first fixing hole 160a with the corresponding screw post 152 c. Therefore, the exposed part of the embedded box 150 can be skillfully used for providing a position for installing the hinge cover 160, and the installation stability of the hinge cover 160 is enhanced.

The two lateral end portions of the edge of the upper end surface of the hinge cover 160 facing away from the door 120 respectively include a straight section 161 extending laterally at one lateral end and a curved section 162 extending smoothly from the lateral inner side of the straight section 161 to the lateral other end, and compared with the structure in which the rear side edge of the upper end surface of the hinge cover 160 extends in a broken line in the prior art, the present embodiment uses the smoothly extending curved section 162 to visually reduce the degree of the rear side of the hinge cover 160 tilting.

Thus, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while a number of exemplary embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the invention may be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be understood and interpreted to cover all such other variations or modifications.
