[0033] Specific reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 The box bottom box 5 is arranged in the box shell near the wire passing piece 4, and the box bottom box 5 has an outlet opening facing the penetration hole 43 of the wire passing piece 4. The wall panel of the box bottom box 5 also has a box wire penetration hole 51. The power supply lead 80 passes through the box wire penetration hole 51 into the box bottom box 5 and enters the penetration hole 43 of the wire passing piece 4 along the outlet opening of the box bottom box 5.
[0034] Specific reference Figures 5 to 8 In this embodiment, the main bottom box 1 is a shell structure with an L-shaped cross-section, having a first opening and a second opening. The second opening is covered by a sealing plate 10. The sealing plate 10 has rotational spaces 101 corresponding to the box hinge 3 and the wire guide 4, respectively. The door hinge 2 and the box hinge 3 can be rotated until the first opening of the main bottom box 1 is aligned with the box hinge 3. In this embodiment, three sealing plates 10 are used and spaced apart to form the rotational spaces 101.
[0035] The main bottom box 1 is arranged on the right side of the back side of the door shell body, the first opening is flush with the side surface of the door shell body, and the second opening is flush with the back side of the door shell body, the box hinge 3 and the wire passing member 4 are fixedly arranged on the right side of the front side of the box shell body, and the box hinge 3 and the wire passing member 4 are arranged at intervals up and down, the power supply line 80 is arranged near the wire passing member 4, and passes through the wire groove 41 through the penetration hole 43 of the wire groove 41, the power supply line 80 passes through the main bottom box 1 along the wire groove 41 through the penetration hole 42, the power supply line 90 is arranged near the main bottom box 1, and passes through the main penetration hole 11 into the main bottom box 1, the power supply line 80 and the power supply line 90 are connected in the main bottom box 1, as shown Figure 12 .
[0036] In the above structure, before the foaming process of the door body 9, a power supply input line 90 is preset in the door shell and a main bottom box 1 is pre-installed on the door shell.

[0037] In this embodiment, the box hinge 3 is located above the wire-passing piece 4, and the hinge shaft 31 is vertically arranged away from the wire-passing piece 4. This makes it easier for the axis hole 21 of the door hinge 2 to be fitted onto the hinge shaft 31 from top to bottom, ensuring the quick assembly of the door hinge 2 and the box hinge 3.
[0038] In the above structure, the door body 9 is movably hinged to the box body 8 via the door hinge 2 and the box hinge 3. At the same time, the power outgoing cable 80 is routed via the wire guide 4, and the power incoming cable 90 is routed via the main base box 1. This allows the power outgoing cable 80 and the power incoming cable 90 to be positioned and arranged separately. After the door body 9 and the box body 8 are assembled and connected, they are brought together in the same cavity, facilitating quick, convenient, and reliable docking.
[0039] Specific reference Figure 11 In this embodiment, the wire-passing member 4 specifically adopts the following structure: the wire-passing member 4 has a third plate portion 44 and a wire-passing arm 45 located on the third plate portion 44; the wire groove 41 is provided on the side of the wire-passing arm 45 away from the box hinge 3; the through-hole 42 is provided at the end of the wire-passing arm 45 and is arranged perpendicular to the wire-passing arm 45; the through-hole 43 is provided at one end of the wire-passing arm 45 connected to the third plate portion 44; the third plate portion 44 has a third mounting hole 46 for fixing the wire-passing member 4.
