[0093] like Figures 1 to 7 、 Figures 9 to 11 、 Figures 13 and 14 、 Figure 16 As shown, the button lock module 3 includes a button 31 installed on one of the box base 1 and the wire protection cover 2, and a first tenon 32 extending from the other of the box base 1 and the wire protection cover 2. The button 31 extends with a second tenon 33 engaged with the first tenon 32.

[0094] The detailed description is as follows. In this embodiment, the first tenon 32 protrudes from the second side wall 24 thereof, that is, the first tenon 32 extends from the wire protection cover 2. The button 31 includes a button body 311 and a first spring 312. The button body 311 is provided with a first through-hole 313. The button body 311 is embedded in the first groove 13. The first protrusion 14 is passed through the first through-hole 313. The first spring 312 is sleeved and elastically supported between the first protrusion 14 and the first through-hole 313, that is, the first spring 312 is arranged between the button body 311 and the box seat 1.

[0095] However, the arrangement positions of the first tenon 32, the first groove 13 and the button 31 are not limited to this embodiment. The first tenon 32 can also extend from the box base 1, and the first groove 13 can also be opened from the wire protection cover 2, so that the first spring 312 is arranged between the button body 311 and the wire protection cover 2.

[0096] Furthermore, two first elastic hooks 314 extend from opposite sides of the button body 311. The two first elastic hooks 314 can be slidably engaged with the two first grooves 131, so that the button body 311 can be firmly accommodated in the first groove 13 through the first elastic hooks 314 and exposed or recessed relative to the first groove 13.

[0097] In addition, the first tenon 32 has a first inclined surface 321 whose thickness gradually increases along the axial direction D toward the front wall 16, and the second tenon 33 has a second inclined surface 331 whose thickness gradually increases along the axial direction D toward the front wall 16. When the wire protection cover 2 slides relative to the box base 1 along the axial direction D toward the front wall 16, the first inclined surface 321 and the second inclined surface 331 can gradually abut against each other, and drive the button body 311 to be recessed into the first groove 13. Until the first inclined surface 321 and the second inclined surface 331 are misaligned, the first spring 312 will drive the button body 311 to return to a position where the first groove 13 is exposed, so that the first tenon 32 and the second tenon 33 are engaged. At this time, the wire protection cover 2 covers the wiring area 11 and is in a fastened and locked state with the box base 1. The user needs to press the button body 311 to release the wire protection cover 2.

[0098] like Figures 1 to 5 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 15 As shown, the automatic cover pushing module 4 includes an elastic push rod 41 installed on one of the box base 1 and the wire protection cover 2 , and an abutment portion 42 formed on the other of the box base 1 and the wire protection cover 2 , and the elastic push rod 41 presses against the abutment portion 42 .

[0099] Further explanation is as follows: the abutment portion 42 of this embodiment is formed on the surface of the front wall 16, that is, the abutment portion 42 is formed on the box seat 1, and the elastic push rod 41 includes a push rod body 411 and a second spring 412. The push rod body 411 extends with a second protrusion 413, and the push rod body 411 is embedded in the second groove 21. The second protrusion 413 is passed through the second through-hole 22. The second spring 412 is sleeved and elastically supported between the second protrusion 413 and the second through-hole 22, that is, the second spring 412 is arranged between the push rod body 411 and the wire protection cover 2.

[0100] However, the arrangement positions of the abutment portion 42, the second groove 21 and the elastic push rod 41 are not limited to this embodiment. The abutment portion 42 can also be formed on the wire protection cover 2, and the second groove 21 can also be opened from the box base 1, so that the second spring 412 is arranged between the push rod body 411 and the box base 1.

[0101] Furthermore, a second elastic hook 414 extends from the push rod body 411 , and the second elastic hook 414 is slidably engaged with the second groove 211 , so that the push rod body 411 can be firmly accommodated in the second groove 21 through the second elastic hook 414 and protrude or hide relative to the second groove 21 .

[0102] When the user presses the button 31, the button body 311 is recessed into the first groove 13. The button body 311 drives the first tenon 32 to disengage from the second tenon 33, thereby releasing the wire protection cover 2. At the same time, the second spring 412 drives the push rod body 411 to return to the position protruding from the second groove 21 and push against the abutment 42, so that the elastic push rod 41 pushes the wire protection cover 2 through the abutment 42 to remove it from the box base 1, thereby automatically releasing the wire protection cover 2 and exposing the wiring area 11.

[0103] First, if Figure 1 、 Figures 6 to 8 As shown in FIG. 1 , one of the usage states of the key-operated open-cover control box 10 of the present application is that the wiring area 11 is used to accommodate a plurality of wires 100 and the wire protection cover 2 is used to cover and protect the plurality of wires 100. When the wire protection cover 2 is assembled to the box base 1, the first latch 32 approaches the second latch 33, causing the first inclined surface 321 and the second inclined surface 331 to gradually abut against each other, and driving the key body 311 to be recessed into the first groove 13. After the first inclined surface 321 and the second inclined surface 331 are misaligned, the first spring 312 drives the key body 311 to return to a position where the first groove 13 is exposed, causing the first latch 32 and the second latch 33 to be locked and blocked, so that the wire protection cover 2 is fastened and locked to the box base 1. At the same time, the wire protection cover 2 completely covers the wiring area 11 and presses the push rod body 411 and the second spring 412 into the second groove 21 through the abutting portion 42. The user then needs to press the key body 311 to release the wire protection cover 2.

[0104] Afterwards, if Figure 1 、 Figures 9 to 16 As shown, in another usage state of the button-opening control box 10 of the present application, when the wire protection cover 2 needs to be removed from the box base 1, the user presses the button body 311 to recess the first groove 13, so that the buckle between the first tenon 32 and the second tenon 33 can be loosened. Since the wire protection cover 2 is released and no longer presses the push rod body 411 and the compressed second spring 412 is hidden in the second groove 21, the second spring 412 will drive the push rod body 411 to return to the position protruding from the second groove 21 and push against the abutment 42, and at the same time drive the wire protection cover 2 to automatically move away from the box base 1, exposing the wiring area 11 and the multiple wires 100, so as to achieve the effect of automatically popping open the wire protection cover 2.

[0105] Thus, compared to the conventional method of removing the cable cover, which requires the use of tools, the present invention allows the user to press the button 31 to automatically pop the cable cover 2 away from the box base 1, exposing the wiring area 11 and multiple wires 100. No additional auxiliary tools are required to remove the cable cover 2, thereby achieving the advantage of the button-opening control box 10 having the cable cover 2 being easy to remove.
