The first side wall 27 and the second side wall 29. The front wall 23, the rear wall 25, the first side wall 27 and the second side wall 29 respectively extend into the base 20 with a flange 231, 251, 271, 291. A second recessed portion 253 is defined in the flange 251, and a bottom portion of the second recessed portion 253 extends toward the inner side of the base 20 with a stop portion 2511. In one embodiment, the stop portion 2511 is substantially perpendicular to the rear wall 25 in a plane.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a side edge of the side plate 40 is provided with a card edge 41. The card edge 41 defines an opening 411, and two opposite sides of the opening 411 are disposed along the inner side of the side plate 40. Fixing piece 413. A rotating hole 4131 is defined in each of the two fixing pieces 413. In one embodiment, the two fixing pieces 413 are perpendicular to the card edge 41 respectively. The side plate 40 is provided with a first recess 43 near the card edge 41. The bottom portion 431 of the first recessed portion 43 defines a bayonet 4311 (see FIG. 5) on a side of the card edge 41, and a first hook is disposed on the edge of the bayonet 4311. 4313 (see Figure 2).

The buckle structure 80 includes a latching member 50 and an elastic member 70. In an embodiment, the elastic member 70 is a tension spring.

The latching member 50 includes an operating portion 51 and a rotating portion 53. Referring to FIG. 4, the operating portion 51 is provided with a supporting piece 511 on the back surface thereof. In an embodiment, the support piece 511 is substantially perpendicular to the operation portion 51. A notch 5111 is defined at a substantially intermediate position of the upper end edge of the support piece 511. One of the edges of the operating portion 51 is provided with an engaging portion 513 that connects the rotating portion 53. The rotating portion 53 is disposed on the back surface of the operating portion 51, and a connecting piece 533 is disposed adjacent to the supporting piece 511. In an embodiment, the connecting piece 533 is substantially parallel to the supporting piece 511. A connecting portion 5331 (see FIG. 6) is disposed at an upper end of the connecting piece 533, and a second hook 5333 is disposed on a side of the supporting piece 511 near the bottom end. In one embodiment, the buckle portion 5331 and the second hook 5333 are on opposite sides of the connecting piece 533.

Referring to FIG. 6-8, when the assembly is performed, the rotating portion 53 of the buckle structure 80 is inserted into the inner side of the side plate 40 from the outer side of the side plate 40 by the bayonet 4311, so that the engaging portion 513 is located. In the bayonet 4311, the operating portion 51 is received in the first recessed portion 43, the support piece 511 abuts against the bottom portion 431, and the notch 5111 is located above the bayonet 4311. The rotating portion 53 is adjusted so that the two protrusions 531 of the rotating portion 53 respectively penetrate into the two rotating holes 4131 of the card edge 41, and the locking member 50 is rotatably fixed to the card edge 41. . One end of the elastic member 70 is clamped on the first hook 4313, and the other end is locked on the second hook 5333, thereby elastically fixing the elastic member 70 to the buckle member 50 and Between the side panels 40. Thereby, the snap structure 80 is mounted on the side panel 40.

The side plate 40 is mounted on the base 20, and the side plate 40 is first placed on the folded edges 251, 271, 291 of the base 20, and the card edge 41 is adjacent to one side. The rear wall 25 is configured to pull the operating portion 51 of the buckle structure 80 outwardly from the first recess portion 43 such that the latching member 50 is wound in a first direction parallel to the rotation axis of the side panel 40. Rotating, the locking member 50 drives the elastic member 70 to elastically deform the elastic member 70, and simultaneously adjusts the side plate 40 so that the card edge 41 is stuck to the outer side of the rear wall 25. At this time, the release is released. In the operating portion 51, the elastic member 70 elastically resumes pulling the latching member 50 about the rotating shaft in a second direction opposite to the first direction, so that the latching portion 5331 is locked. The seat portion 2511 prevents the side panel 40 from sliding along one side of the rear wall 25, and the rotating portion 53 is located in the second recess portion 253. At this time, the latching member 50 is in the first position. Thereby, the side plate 40 is fixed to the base 20.

When the side plate 40 is removed, the operating portion 51 is further pulled to rotate the locking member 50 in the first direction parallel to the rotating shaft, so that the locking portion 5331 is disengaged from the stop position. The portion 2511, at this time, the latching member 50 is located at the second position while the side panel 40 is pushed along one side of the rear wall 25. Thereby, the side plate 40 slides out of the base 20.

In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law. However, the above-mentioned preferred embodiments of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of the following claims.
