[0034] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of the housing structure 100 provided for this embodiment. Figure 2 It is a schematic internal structure diagram of the housing structure 100 provided for this embodiment. Please refer to Figure 1 andFigure 2 , in this embodiment, a housing structure 100 is provided. The housing structure 100 includes a first housing 110, a second housing 120, a slider 131, and a locking member 133. The first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are snapped together in a first direction, thereby forming a receiving cavity 140 inside the first housing 110 and the second housing 120. A fixing block 111 is provided on the first housing 110. When the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are snapped together, the fixing block 111 extends into the second housing 120. The slider 131 is slidably engaged with the fixing block 111, and the slider 131 is configured to drive the fixing block 111 to move in the first direction when moving relative to the fixing block 111 in a second direction, so that the first housing 110 has a tendency to move closer to the second housing 120 in the first direction. The locking member 133 is used to lock the slider 131 to the second housing 120. Since the slider 131 can exert a force on the fixing block 111 in the first direction and pointing to the second housing 120, after the slider 131 is locked to the second housing 120, the slider 131 exerts a force on the fixing block 111 pointing to the second housing 120, thereby being able to prevent the first housing 110 from separating from the second housing 120. At the same time, since the housing structure 100 is provided with the slider 131, by the slider 131 exerting a force on the first housing 110 pointing to the second housing 120 when moving in the second direction, so that the first housing 110 has a tendency to move towards the second housing 120, therefore, the locking member 133 does not need to be provided in the first direction, and there is no need to drill holes in the first direction, greatly improving the aesthetic degree of the housing structure 100.

[0035] The following further describes the housing structure 100 provided in this embodiment:

[0036] Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of the first housing 110 in the housing structure 100 provided in this embodiment, Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the second housing 120 in the housing structure 100 provided in this embodiment. Please refer to Figures 1-4 , in this embodiment, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are arranged up and down, that is, the first direction is Figure 2 the up and down direction in. The first housing 110 is a housing-like structure, which has an inner cavity, and the inner cavity has a first opening 116 at the lower end of the first housing 110. The second housing 120 is a housing-like structure, which has an inner cavity, and the inner cavity has a second opening 122 at the upper end of the second housing 120. When the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are snapped together up and down, the first opening 116 and the second opening 122 are docked, so that the inner cavity of the first housing 110 and the inner cavity of the second housing 120 are communicated to form the receiving cavity 140 of the housing structure 100. When in use, the structure to be loaded can be arranged in the receiving cavity 140.

[0037] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the housing structure 100 is divided into upper and lower parts, and the first direction is the up-and-down direction. It can be understood that in other embodiments, it can also be set according to requirements. For example, the housing structure 100 can be set as a left-and-right split structure. Correspondingly, the first direction is the left-and-right direction.

[0038] The fixing block 111 is arranged on the first housing 110, and the upper end of the fixing block 111 is connected to the first housing 110. The lower end of the fixing block 111 protrudes from the lower end surface of the first housing 110. When the first housing 110 is buckled with the second housing 120, the lower end of the fixing block 111 extends into the second housing 120 through the second opening 122.

[0039] Optionally, the fixing block 111 is detachably connected to the first housing 110. Specifically, the housing structure 100 further includes a fixing screw 112. A first bolt hole is formed in the inner side of the lower end of the first housing 110. The fixing screw 112 passes through the fixing block 111 and is screwed with the first bolt hole to fixedly connect the fixing block 111 to the first housing 110. It can be understood that in other embodiments, other structures can be used to realize the connection between the fixing block 111 and the first housing 110, such as a snap structure.

[0040] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the fixing block 111 is separately arranged from the first housing 110, and the fixing block 111 is fixedly connected to the first housing 110 through the fixing screw 112, which is convenient for the manufacture of the first housing 110. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the fixing block 111 and the first housing 110 can also be integrally formed according to requirements.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , in this embodiment, a sliding groove 113 for the slider 131 to slide is formed in the fixing block 111. The sliding groove 113 has a first contact portion 114 that slidably contacts the slider 131. The slider 131 has a second contact portion 132. The first contact portion 114 contacts the second contact portion 132 so that when the slider 131 moves in the second direction, the first housing 110 has a tendency to move closer to the second housing 120 in the first direction. In other words, the first housing 110 has a tendency to move downward. The second direction forms an angle with the first direction. In this embodiment, the second direction is the direction perpendicular to the midline of the second housing 120 and pointing from the inside of the second housing 120 to the outside of the second housing 120, that is Figure 2 the direction pointing to the right shown in the figure. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the specific direction of the second direction can also be set according to requirements.

[0042] Specifically, the first abutting portion 114 is the lower surface of the sliding groove 113. This lower surface is an inclined surface arranged at an angle relative to the first direction. And along the direction from the second housing 120 to the first housing 110, the distance between this inclined surface and the inner wall 123 of the second housing 120 decreases, that is, along the second direction towards the direction close to the inner wall 123 of the second housing 120, the height of the first abutting portion 114 increases. Therefore, when the slider 131 moves along the second direction towards the inner wall 123 of the second housing 120, it can force the fixed block 111 to move downward, and then drive the first housing 110 to move downward to press the second housing 120.

[0043] Further, the second abutting portion 132 is the lower end surface of the slider 131. This lower end surface is an inclined surface arranged at an angle relative to the first direction. And along the direction from the second housing 120 to the first housing 110, the distance between this inclined surface and the inner wall 123 of the second housing 120 decreases, that is, along the second direction towards the direction close to the inner wall 123 of the second housing 120, the height of the second abutting portion 132 increases. Therefore, when the slider 131 moves along the second direction towards the inner wall 123 of the second housing 120, it can force the fixed block 111 to move downward, and then drive the first housing 110 to move downward to press the second housing 120.

[0044] Further, the included angle degree between the first abutting portion 114 and the first direction is equal to the included angle degree between the second abutting portion 132 and the first direction. Therefore, when the slider 131 slides relative to the fixed block 111, the first abutting portion 114 and the second abutting portion 132 are in contact.

[0045] It should be noted that in this embodiment, both the first abutting portion 114 and the second abutting portion 132 are inclined surfaces. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the structures of the first abutting portion 114 and the second abutting portion 132 can also be set according to requirements. For example, the first abutting portion 114 can be set as an arc surface, etc.

[0046] Please continue to refer to Figures 1-4 , in this embodiment, the sliding groove 113 is a through groove that penetrates the fixed block 111 along the second direction. It has a first opening on the side far from the inner wall 123 of the second housing 120. Correspondingly, it has a second opening on the side close to the inner wall 123 of the second housing 120. Since the lower surface of the sliding groove 113 is an inclined surface with an increasing height along the second direction, the size of the first opening is larger than that of the second opening. At the same time, the lower end surface of the slider 131 is also an inclined surface, and its cross-section is trapezoidal (as Figure 2 shown). During installation, the slider 131 can enter the sliding groove 113 from the first opening, and the size of the large end of the slider 131 is larger than that of the second opening. Therefore, it can prevent the slider 131 from detaching from the fixed block 111 from the second opening.

[0047] The housing structure 100 further includes a blocking member 115, which is connected to the fixed block 111 to block the first opening and prevent the slider 131 from detaching from the first opening. Specifically, the blocking member 115 is a plate-shaped member, which is fixedly connected to the fixed block 111, and the lower end of the blocking member 115 blocks the first opening to prevent the slider 131 from detaching from the first opening. Optionally, the fixing screw 112 sequentially passes through the blocking member 115 and the fixed block 111 and is screwed to the first housing 110, so that the blocking member 115 and the fixed block 111 are both fixed to the first housing 110 through the fixing screw 112.

[0048] In this embodiment, the slider 131 is provided with a first threaded portion, and the locking member 133 is provided with a second threaded portion. The first threaded portion is screwed to the second threaded portion to lock the slider 131 to the second housing 120, and the locking member 133 is used to drive the slider 131 to move in the second direction. Therefore, the locking member 133 is arranged on one side of the slider 131 in the second direction. Specifically, the locking member 133 is a locking screw, and the second threaded portion is the screw rod of the locking screw. Correspondingly, the first threaded portion is a second threaded hole opened in the slider 131 in the second direction. A through hole 121 for the locking screw to pass through is opened on the second housing 120, and the through hole 121 penetrates through the side wall of the second housing 120. During installation, one end of the locking screw extends into the second housing 120 through the through hole 121 to be screwed to the slider 131. When the locking screw is rotated, the slider 131 slides relative to the fixed block 111 in the second direction, driving the fixed block 111 to move downward, and further causing the first housing 110 to move downward. When the locking screw locks the slider 131 to the second housing 120, through the interaction between the second abutting portion 132 of the slider 131 and the first abutting portion 114 of the sliding groove 113, the upward movement of the fixed block 111 is blocked, thereby preventing the first housing 110 from detaching from the second housing 120.

[0049] Furthermore, the housing structure 100 further includes a sealing ring 135, which is arranged between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, and when the first housing 110 moves closer to the second housing 120 in the first direction, the sealing ring 135 is pressed between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120. Specifically, the first housing 110 has a first mating surface facing the second housing 120, and this first mating surface is the lower end surface of the first housing 110. The second housing 120 has a second mating surface facing the first housing 110, and this second mating surface is the upper end surface of the second housing 120. The sealing ring 135 is arranged between the first mating surface and the second mating surface to press the sealing member when the first housing 110 moves downward, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the housing structure 100.

[0050] Optionally, the sealing ring 135 is an O-ring 135. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the type of the sealing ring 135 can also be specifically set according to requirements, such as being set as a sheet-shaped sealing ring 135. Further, a sealing groove 117 is also formed on the first mating surface, and the sealing ring 135 is arranged in the sealing groove 117 to limit the sealing ring 135 through the sealing groove 117. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the sealing groove 117 can also be formed on the second mating surface according to requirements, or the first mating surface and the second mating surface jointly form the sealing groove 117.

[0051] The installation process of the housing structure 100 provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0052] First, place the slider 131 into the chute 113 and make the first abutting portion 114 fit with the second abutting portion 132. Then, sequentially pass the fixing screw 112 through the blocking member 115 and the fixing block 111, and synchronously fix the blocking member 115 and the fixing block 111 to the first housing 110 through the fixing screw 112. After that, fasten the first housing 110 and the second housing 120. The locking member 133 passes through the through hole 121 on the second housing 120 and extends into the chute 113 through the second opening to be screwed with the slider 131. Rotate the locking member 133, and the slider 131 moves in the second direction, thereby driving the fixing block 111 to move downward, and the first housing 110 moves downward synchronously, so as to press the sealing member between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 until the locking member 133 is locked, and the assembly of the housing structure 100 is completed.

[0053] The housing structure 100 provided in this embodiment has at least the following advantages:

[0054] In the housing structure 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the slider 131, while driving the slider 131 to move in the second direction, the first housing 110 is driven to move towards the second housing 120, so as to press the sealing ring 135 between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, ensuring the sealing performance of the housing structure 100. Moreover, since the force exerted by the locking member 133 on the slider 131 when locked is in the second direction, that is, the through hole 121 provided on the second housing 120 for the locking member 133 to extend into the accommodation cavity 140 to be connected with the slider 131 can be opened in the second direction. In this way, the through hole 121 can be opened on the side surface of the second housing 120, ensuring that the appearance of the housing structure 100 is more beautiful.

[0055] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
