By arranging the supporting mechanism 5, the side panel 1 can be supported to prevent deformation of the side panel 1.
[0024] The above-mentioned stabilizing mechanism 4 includes a triangular block 41, a positioning pin 42, a button 43, a spring 44, a guide block 45, and a sleeve rod 46; the triangular block 41 is clamped on the inner wall of the positioning slot plate 2, and the triangular block 41 can be used to support two adjacent groups of positioning slot plates 2, thereby improving the strength of the corners of the side plate 1, and the positioning pin 42 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the triangular block 41, and one end of the positioning pin 42 is fixedly installed with a spring 44, and the end of the spring 44 away from the positioning pin 42 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the triangular block 41, and the positioning pin 42 can be pushed to the outside of the triangular block 41 by the elasticity of the spring 44, so that the positioning pin 42 can enter the inside of the limiting hole 3, and the other end of the positioning pin 42 passes through the triangular block 41 and fits the inner wall of the limiting hole 3, and the positioning pin 42 cooperates with the limiting hole 3 to limit the triangular block 41 Between the two groups of positioning groove plates 2, the side walls of the positioning pins 42 are fixedly installed with guide blocks 45, and there are two groups of positioning pins 42. The two groups of positioning pins 42 are mirror-set on the inner wall of the triangular block 41 with the slide rod 54 as the central axis. When the two groups of buttons 43 approach each other, the sleeve rod 46 and the guide block 45 can make the two groups of positioning pins 42 slide synchronously toward the inside of the triangular block 41, and the buttons 43 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the triangular block 41. There are two groups of buttons 43, and the two groups of buttons 43 are mirror-set on the inner wall of the triangular block 41 with the slide rod 54 as the central axis. The side walls of the buttons 43 are fixedly installed with sleeve rods 46, and the outer walls of the guide blocks 45 are attached to the inner walls of the sleeve rods 46. The two buttons 43 are pinched together to make the two buttons 43 slide synchronously on the inner wall of the triangular block 41 and approach each other. At this time, the buttons 43 will drive the sleeve rods 46 to move synchronously.
[0025] The supporting mechanism 5 comprises a rotating shaft 51, a cross reinforcing rib 52, a threaded rod 53, a sliding rod 54 and a threaded sleeve 55; the rotating shaft 51 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the side panel 1, the outer wall of the rotating shaft 51 is fixedly mounted with a cross reinforcing rib 52, the outer wall of the cross reinforcing rib 52 is fitted to the outer wall of the side panel 1, the rotating shaft 51 can be used to rotate the cross reinforcing rib 52, the cross reinforcing rib 52 can be used to support the side panel 1 to prevent the side panel 1 from being deformed, and the end of the cross reinforcing rib 52 away from the rotating shaft 51 is fixedly mounted with a threaded rod 53. The threaded rod 53 and the sliding rod 54 can be kept in a concentric state by rotating the cross reinforcement rib 52. The sliding rod 54 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the triangular block 41. The outer wall of the sliding rod 54 is sleeved with a threaded sleeve 55.

The threaded sleeve 55 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 53, so that the threaded rod 53 and the sliding rod 54 can maintain a stable concentric state.
[0026] Working principle: First, pinch the two buttons 43 to make the two buttons 43 slide synchronously on the inner wall of the triangular block 41 and approach each other. At this time, the button 43 will drive the sleeve rod 46 to move synchronously. While the sleeve rod 46 moves, it will squeeze the guide block 45, so that the guide block 45 drives the positioning pin 42 to slide inside the triangular block 41 and compress the spring 44. At this time, the triangular block 41 is placed inside the positioning slot plate 2, so that the side walls at both ends of the triangular block 41 are respectively fitted with the inner walls of the two sets of positioning slot plates 2, and at this time, the positioning pin 42 and the limiting hole 3 on the positioning slot plate 2 are in a concentric state, and then the button 4 is released. 3, so that the sleeve rod 46 stops squeezing the guide block 45, at this time, the positioning pin 42 can be pushed to the outside of the triangular block 41 through the elasticity of the spring 44, so that the positioning pin 42 can enter the inside of the limiting hole 3, at this time, the positioning pin 42 is used to cooperate with the limiting hole 3 to limit the triangular block 41 between the two groups of positioning slot plates 2, and the above steps are repeated to install the triangular blocks 41 at the four corners of the side plate 1. The triangle has strong stability. At this time, the triangular blocks 41 can be used to support the two adjacent groups of positioning slot plates 2, thereby improving the strength of the corners of the side plate 1 and avoiding the occurrence of warping.
[0027] After the triangular blocks 41 are installed at the four corners of the side panel 1, the cross reinforcement rib 52 can be rotated by using the rotating shaft 51. The rotation of the cross reinforcement rib 52 can keep the threaded rod 53 and the sliding rod 54 in a concentric state. Then the threaded sleeve 55 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 53 to keep the threaded rod 53 and the sliding rod 54 in a stable concentric state, so that the cross reinforcement rib 52 can be kept in a stable state. The cross reinforcement rib 52 can be used to support the side panel 1 to prevent the side panel 1 from deformation, thereby further improving the strength of the side panel 1.
[0028] The above generally describes the present invention in detail, but it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the present invention. Therefore, modifications or improvements that do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
