[0036] Combine the following Figure 2-6 The specific configuration of the first connecting portion and the first fastening structure is described in detail:

[0037] The first fastening structure 6 includes a first connecting hole 63 arranged in the first connecting groove 5 and passing through the upper cover 2, a nut column 62 embedded in the middle seat 1 and located below the first connecting hole 63, and a lead sealing screw 61 that passes through the first connecting part 43 and the second connecting hole 83 and is fastened in the nut column 62. It is further preferably arranged that the first connecting part 43 includes a first connecting piece 431 integrally extended and formed on the open end 42, and a connecting boss 432 arranged at the bottom of the first connecting piece 431, and a receiving groove 433 extending between the first connecting piece 431 and the connecting boss 432, the bottom end of the connecting boss 432 passes through a first through hole connected to the receiving groove 433, the connecting boss 432 is designed as a circular boss, and the receiving groove 433 is designed as a circular groove, so that the lead sealing screw 61 passes through the first through hole to fix the first connecting part 43 in the first connecting groove 5. With this structural arrangement, when the protective cover 4 is closed to cover the installation groove 3, the first connecting portion 43 is accommodated in the first connecting groove 5 of the upper cover 2, and then is fastened to the nut column 62 after the lead sealing screw 61 passes through the first connecting portion 43 and the first connecting hole 63. After the lead sealing screw 61 is fixed, the first connecting portion 43 is firmly locked in the locking groove, thereby achieving the locked installation of the protective cover 4. The lead sealing screw 61 plays a role of anti-loosening, anti-dropping and anti-tampering through the lead sealing method, thereby preventing the protective cover from being illegally opened and performing non-standard operations on the controller components in the installation groove, thereby ensuring safety.

[0038] The head of the lead-sealing screw 61 is accommodated in the receiving groove 433, and a limit clamping platform is provided to cooperate with and abut against the connecting boss 432. When the lead-sealing screw 61 is tightened, the limit clamping platform applies a tightening force to the first connecting portion 43 to fix it in the first connecting groove 5, and the installation is stable and reliable. Among them, when the protective cover 4 is closed in the installation groove 3, the first connecting piece 431 is kept flush with the upper cover 2, and the notch of the receiving groove 433 is opened in the first connecting piece 431, and a buckle cover 9 covering the lead-sealing screw 61 is installed at the notch, so that the lead-sealing screw 61 can be protected from external force, and the cooperation between the buckle cover 9 and the lead-sealing screw 61 can play a better anti-theft role.

[0039] Combine the following Figure 2-6 The specific configuration of the second connection portion and the second fastening structure is described in detail:

[0040] The second fastening structure 8 includes a second connecting hole 83 arranged in the second connecting groove 7 and passing through the upper cover 2, a fixing column 82 arranged on the middle seat 1 and located below the second connecting hole 83, and a fixing screw 81 that passes through the first connecting portion 43 and the second connecting hole 83 and is fastened in the fixing column 82. The fixing column 82 is provided with a threaded hole that cooperates with the fixing screw 81. It is further preferably arranged that the first connecting portion 43 includes a second connecting piece 441 that is integrally formed on the open end 42 and extends in the same direction as the first connecting piece 431, and a second through hole 442 arranged on the second connecting piece 441 for the fixing screw 81 to pass through, so that the second connecting piece 441 is fixed in the second connecting groove 7 when the fixing screw 81 is tightened. With this structural arrangement, when the protective cover 4 is closed to cover the mounting groove 3, the second connecting piece 441 is accommodated in the second connecting groove 7 of the upper cover 2, and then the fixing screw 81 passes through the second connecting piece 441 and the second connecting hole 83 and is fastened to the fixing column 82, thereby firmly fixing the second connecting portion 44 in the second connecting groove 7. The fixing column 82 plays a role of connection, fixing and support, and the lead sealing screw 61 fixes the second connecting portion 44 in the first connecting groove 5, thereby increasing the number of fixed connection positions between the protective cover 4 and the upper cover 2 to two, with higher installation strength and better anti-loosening and anti-vibration effects. Maintaining a certain appropriate distance between the two fixed connection positions can make the installation of the protective cover more stable, so as to ensure that the protective cover can still be reliably installed under the impact of the disconnection test, and the installation stability is good.

The second through hole 442 is arranged on the circular end of the second connecting piece 441. With this structural arrangement, the second connecting piece 441 with an L-shaped bending design can not only enhance its own structural strength, but also reduce the installation height of the second connecting piece 441 in the second connecting groove 7, so that more space can be reserved in the second connecting groove 7 to meet the installation requirements of the fixing screw 81, so that the fixing screw 81 can be accommodated in the second connecting groove 7 after installation, avoiding the fixing screw 81 from protruding from the surface of the upper cover, and the installation is more beautiful.

[0042] In this embodiment, the protective cover 4 is a transparent cover, and its left and right side edges are flush with the side walls of the middle seat 1. The distance between the first connecting portion 43 and the second connecting portion 44 is at least half of the length of the open end 42, so that the two fixed connection positions between the protective cover 4 and the upper cover 2 can be prevented from being too close. Since the area and length of the protective cover 4 are made larger, maintaining a suitable installation distance between the two fixed connection positions between the protective cover 4 and the upper cover 2 is conducive to improving the installation stability of the protective cover.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
