Furthermore, by driving the abutting portion 422 to rotate through the gripping portion 423, the transverse latch 41 can be easily and labor-savingly pried to slide along the sliding hole 231.

[0055] When the cross-bolt 41 is in the preset locking position, the second bolt 44 passes through the first through hole 4212 and is screwed into the second screw hole 4141 to connect and fix the lever 42 to the cross-bolt 41 to prevent the lever 42 from being in a free swinging state. When the cross-bolt 41 is switched from the preset locking position to the unlocking position, the user manually screws the second bolt 44 to disengage the second screw hole 4141, thereby allowing the lever 42 to be separated from the cross-bolt 41.

[0056] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the locking mechanism 4 and the first connecting piece 26 are not limited to the above structure, and the locking mechanism 4 and the first connecting piece 26 can be other structures. For example, the locking mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft, and the first connecting piece 26 is provided with a sixth through hole. The central axis of the sixth through hole is colinear with the central axis of the fourth through hole 271. The rotating shaft is inserted into the fourth through hole 271, the fifth through hole 4211 and the sixth through hole, and the rotating shaft is interference connected with the fourth through hole 271 and the fifth through hole 4211 or the sixth through hole, so that the lever 42 can rotate relative to the upper cover 2.

[0057] It is understood that, in some embodiments, the structure of the locking mechanism 4 is not limited to the above structure, and the locking mechanism 4 can also be other structures, for example, the locking mechanism 4 includes a clamping block, the middle part of which is connected to one end of the gripping portion 423 away from the rotating portion 421, and when the cross latch 41 is located at the preset unlocking position, one end of the clamping block is clamped to the sheet 411 to connect and fix the lever 42 to the cross latch 41. When the cross latch 41 is switched from the preset locking position to the unlocking position, the user presses the other end of the clamping block to separate the clamping block from the sheet 411, thereby allowing the lever 42 to be separated from the cross latch 41. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the L-shaped portion 23 is provided with a fixing block. When the cross latch 41 is located at the preset unlocking position, one end of the clamping block is clamped to the fixing block to connect and fix the lever 42 to the L-shaped portion 23. When the cross latch 41 is switched from the preset locking position to the unlocking position, the user presses the other end of the clamping block to separate the clamping block from the fixing block, thereby allowing the lever 42 to be separated from the upper cover 2 .
