Further, it can be understood that, due to the reasonable interference design between the elastic supporting portion 50 and the main body portion 20 of the bottom plate, after the elastic supporting portion 50 is connected with the main body portion 20 of the bottom plate, the elastic supporting portion 50 is bent and deformed due to the extrusion of the main body portion 20 of the bottom plate, the elastic supporting portion 50 and the main body portion 20 of the bottom plate are always in a stressed and compressed state, and indirectly exert a force on the buckle 42, particularly the cantilever 421, so that the buckle 42 is tightly attached to the edge of the opening 21 of the bottom plate, and the cover plate 30 is always attached to the bottom plate 2.

Fig. 8 shows a bottom view of the cover plate after being mounted on the base plate, fig. 9 shows a cross-sectional view of A-A in fig. 8, and fig. 10 shows an enlarged view of the structure in the broken line frame in fig. 9.

As shown in fig. 10, in one embodiment, the elastic supporting portion 50 may include a hooking portion 51, and the hooking portion 51 may be in pressing contact with the body portion 20 and elastically deformed. For example, referring to fig. 10, when the main body 20 of the base plate is mounted between the clip 42 and the elastic support 50, the clip 42 abuts against the main body from the inside, the hook portion 51 presses the main body 20 from the outside of the main body to be elastically deformed, and further, the cantilever 421 is acted on, so that the clip 42 and the main body 20 of the base plate are tightly attached, thereby preventing loosening.

Preferably, the end of the hooking portion 51 contacting the main body portion 20 has an arc surface to achieve better pressing of the bottom plate.

In one embodiment, one end of the elastic supporting portion 50, that is, one end of the hooking portion 51, may be disposed at the connecting portion 41 and located near the latch 42, so as to better pull the cantilever 421 when the elastic supporting portion 50 is elastically deformed, thereby tightly fitting the latch 42 to the main body portion 20 of the base plate.

In one embodiment, the cover plate 30 may be configured with two elastic supporting parts 50, which are respectively located at both sides of the buckle 42, to more firmly fix the cover plate 30 and the base plate 2.

Preferably, the elastic supporting portion 50 is made of PP material.

Preferably, the cover plate 30 may be integrally formed with the elastic supporting portion 50.

In one embodiment, a clamping groove 211 is also configured at the edge of the opening 21. In particular, fig. 3 shows a detailed structural schematic of the main body portion 20, in particular the opening. As shown in the drawing, the clamping groove 211 is formed in the main body 20, and when the cover plate 30 is connected with the main body 20 through the clamping groove 211 and the buckle 42, the direction of the force of the buckle 42 to the clamping groove 211 is opposite to the direction of the force of the hook portion 51 to the main body 20, so as to realize the clamping effect of the buckle.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, a first positioning part 210 may be configured at an edge of the opening 21, and the first positioning part 210 may be used to limit the cover plate. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the body 31 has a second end surface 311, and the second end surface 311 has a second positioning portion 312; when the cover plate 30 is connected to the main body 20, the first positioning portion 210 is matched with the second positioning portion 312.

In some possible embodiments, the first positioning portion 210 and the second positioning portion 312 may be mutually matched groove portions and protrusions, so long as the purpose of mutually matched limiting is achieved. It is understood that the number of the first positioning portions or the second positioning portions may be set according to actual needs.

When the cover plate 30 is assembled with the main body portion 20 of the base plate, the second positioning portion 312 of the cover plate 30 is passed through the opening 21 from the lower portion of the base plate 2, and is engaged with the first positioning portion 210 on the main body portion 20 of the base plate. Then, the cover plate 30 is mounted on the base plate 2 by pressing the cover plate 30 with the first positioning portion 210 as a fulcrum. During pressing of the base plate 2, the catch 42 is forced to bend inwards, and when in place, the catch 42 springs out and snaps into the catch recess 211 in the base plate body 20. At the same time, there is a reasonable interference design between the hook portion 51 provided on the cantilever 421 of the buckle 42 and the base plate 2. After the cover plate 30 is in place, the buckle 42 is tightly attached to the clamping groove 211. At this time, the hook claw 51 is always in a stressed and compressed state because of the bending deformation of the extruded bottom plate, and indirectly applies a force to the buckle 42, so that the buckle 42 is tightly attached to the clamping groove 211, and the state that the cover plate is always attached to the bottom plate is realized.

Although the present utility model is disclosed above, the present utility model is not limited thereto.
