  • the second sealing member 5 can be a sealing ring, or a sealing gasket, or other sealing structures.
  • the first snap-fit element 61 can not only be snap-fitted with the second snap-fit element 62 to achieve the installation of the box cover 12 and the box body 11, but also can position the second sealing member 5 to prevent the second sealing member 5 from moving when the box cover 12 covers and closes the box opening 11a.
  • a positioning protrusion can also be formed on the second sealing member 5, and a positioning groove can be formed on the box cover 12. The positioning protrusion is mated with the positioning groove.
  • the second sealing member 5 being a square ring-shaped sealing gasket as an example
  • the mating between the first snap-fit element 61 and the through opening 5a can achieve the positioning of one pair of sides of the square ring-shaped sealing gasket, and the mating between the positioning protrusions and the positioning grooves can achieve the positioning of the other pair of sides of the square ring-shaped sealing gasket, ensuring that all four sides of the square ring-shaped sealing gasket can be positioned and that the square ring-shaped sealing gasket will not move or deform.
