The upper cover 20 is opened and closed by pushing and pulling, so as to prevent the water on the upper cover 20 from flowing onto the box cover 10 due to the flipping of the upper cover 20 when it is opened; and the first wiper structure 21 is provided to wipe the water dripping on the box cover 10, so as to avoid the residual water and increase the safety.

[0047] The first wiper structure 21 is arranged at the front part of the upper cover. Under normal circumstances, the condensed water condensed on the upper cover 20 and the water droplets dripping on the box cover 10 are not many, so the first wiper structure 21 is provided with a water-absorbing first wiper 211 for absorbing the water droplets dripping on the box cover 10; the first wiper structure 21 can also be provided with a soft sheet-like first wiper 211, when the upper cover is opened backwards, the water droplets on the box cover 10 are pushed backwards by the first wiper 211 and flow into the box body.

[0048] The first wiper 211 comprises a first wiper body 2110 and first bent portions 2111 bent backwards along the left and right ends of the first wiper body 2110. The first bent portions 2111 are provided to help cleanly wipe the water on the box cover 10, or to push and contain water drops, thereby preventing water drops from being missed from the left and right ends of the first wiper body 2110, and to help clean the water drops on the box cover 10 after the upper cover 20 is opened.

[0049] In order to achieve the installation of the first wiper 211 , the first wiper structure 21 has a first installation groove 212 arranged on the upper cover 20 . The first installation groove 212 matches the first wiper 211 and is used to install the first wiper 211 . The first wiper 211 is fixed in the first installation groove 212 .

[0050] In other embodiments, the first wiper 211 may also be directly bonded to the upper cover 20 .

[0051] The first wiper structure 21 pushes the water backward through the inlet 13 or the first guide structure to flow into the box body. The box cover 10 is provided with a first guide structure for guiding the water on the upper end surface of the box cover 10 to the box body. That is, when the first wiper structure 21 moves backward, the water droplets pushed backward by the first wiper structure 21 will fall into the inlet 13 or the first guide structure when they reach the vicinity of the inlet 13 or the first guide structure, and then reach the box body, thereby preventing the water flow from reaching the table 100 or penetrating into the electrical components, thereby improving safety.

[0052] The first guide structure has a first guide groove 11 provided on the box cover 10, a through hole 112 provided on the bottom surface of the first guide groove 11, and a mounting pad 40 mounted in the first guide groove 11, and a notch 41 is provided on the mounting pad 40; the mounting pad 40 is installed in the first guide groove 11 to cover the first guide groove 11, to prevent dust and other impurities from falling into the first guide groove 11, and to facilitate the flatness of the upper end surface of the box cover 10 and increase the aesthetics. In order to ensure the firmness of the mounting pad 40 after installation, it is necessary to set the mounting pad 40 to match the inner wall of the first guide groove 11, and by setting the notch 41, a drainage channel 19 for water flow to pass through is formed between the notch 41 and the first guide groove 11, so that the water flow reaching the first guide groove 11 flows downward.

[0053] The first guide structure also has a first drainage groove 12 opened on the upper end surface of the box cover 10, and the first drainage groove 12 is connected with the guide groove 11. Specifically, the first drainage groove 12 is connected with the drainage channel 19. By setting the first drainage groove 12, water reaching the vicinity of the first drainage groove 12 can be collected. The first drainage groove 12 is connected with the drainage channel 19, which ensures that the water path of the first guide structure is unobstructed, and avoids the water from not being able to reach the drainage channel 19 due to the fit between the buckle pad 40 and the upper end surface of the box cover 10 after installation.

[0054] The buckle pad 40 is snap-fitted and assembled at the first guide groove 11. The buckle pad 40 has a plunger 42 matching the first guide groove 11, a column cap 43 located at the upper end of the plunger 42 and extending upward and outward, and a notch 41 is provided on the plunger 42.
