[0038] Preferably, the base station further comprises a rolling member 40 connected to the door panel 10, and the rolling member 40 is in rolling contact with the inner wall of the guide groove 22. By providing the rolling member 40, during the movement of the door panel 10, there is rolling friction between the rolling member 40 and the inner wall of the guide groove 22, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement of the door panel 10 and preventing the door panel 10 from being stuck or stuck during the process of opening or closing the door.

[0039] Optionally, the rolling member 40 is a bearing, a connecting member 12 is provided on the door panel 10, the bearing is sleeved on the connecting member 12, and the bearing is in rolling contact with the side walls of the guide groove 22. It can be understood that in the present application, the rotation axis of the bearing points to the bottom wall of the guide groove 22, and the rolling surface of the bearing contacts the two side walls of the guide groove 22. In other possible embodiments, the rolling surface of the bearing may also contact the bottom wall of the guide groove 22. In other possible embodiments, the rolling member 40 may also be a roller, a ball or a roller, etc., and the present application does not make a sole limitation on the specific structure of the rolling member 40.

In the present application, the guide members 11 on both sides of the door panel 10 are symmetrical about the midline of the door panel 10, and the two guide grooves 22 are symmetrical about the midline of the receiving cavity 21.

[0041] Furthermore, one end of the guide groove 22 is flush with an inner wall of one side of the receiving cavity 21, and the length of the guide groove 22 is greater than the width of the receiving cavity 21 along the extension direction of the guide groove 22, that is, the other end of the guide groove 22 along the length direction extends beyond the other side of the receiving cavity 21, and the area swept by the door panel 10 during the movement is completely within the span of the guide groove 22, thereby further ensuring the guiding effect of the guide groove 22.

[0042] Specifically, in the present application, two guide members 11 are respectively arranged on both sides of the door panel 10, the two guide members 11 on the same side are spaced apart from each other, and the rolling member 40 is arranged between the two guide members 11 on the same side, that is, the door panel 10 of the present application includes four guide members 11, and the four guide members 11 are respectively arranged corresponding to the four corners of the door panel 10. Of course, in other possible implementations, three guide members 11, four guide members 11, five guide members 11 or more may be respectively arranged on both sides of the door panel 10, and the present application does not make a sole limitation on the specific number of the guide members 11.

[0043] In some embodiments, a limiting structure 23 is further provided on the base 20. The limiting structure 23 is provided on the moving path of the door panel 10 when it switches from the first state to the second state. The limiting structure 23 is used to resist the door panel 10 to prevent excessive movement of the door panel 10. In the present application, since the door panel 10 moves in the vertical direction, the limiting structure 23 is provided above the receiving cavity 21. When the door panel 10 moves in the vertical direction to abut against the limiting structure 23, the door panel 10 is in the second state at this time, and the door panel 10 is completely offset from the receiving cavity 21, that is, the receiving cavity 21 is completely exposed.

[0044] In the present application, the limiting structure 23 is a limiting surface, the movement direction of the door panel 10 points to the limiting surface, and the limiting surface is connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 22.

The present application does not limit the specific shape of the limiting structure 23.

[0045] In some embodiments, the guide groove 22 extends in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and a limiting groove 24 is also provided at the bottom of the base 20. The limiting groove 24 is connected to the guide groove 22. The groove wall of the limiting groove 24 is located on the moving path of the door panel 10 when it switches from the second state to the first state. The groove wall of the limiting groove 24 is used to resist the door panel 10 so that the door panel 10 maintains the first state. At this time, the door panel 10 can completely cover the opening of the receiving cavity 21, thereby providing effective protection for the accessories in the receiving cavity 21.

[0046] In some embodiments, the adsorption component includes a first magnetic component 31 and a second magnetic component 32. The first magnetic component 31 is arranged on the door panel 10, and the second magnetic component 32 is arranged on the base 20.

When the first magnetic member 31 and the second magnetic member 32 are magnetic members, the first magnetic member 31 and the second magnetic member 32 are preferably magnets. Of course, the first magnetic member 31 and the second magnetic member 32 can also be electromagnets. When the first magnetic member 31 and the second magnetic member 32 are electromagnets, the electromagnets are electrically connected to the main control circuit of the base station. The first magnetic member 31 and the second magnetic member 32 can also be other magnetic structures, which are not limited here.

The first shell 25 and the second shell 26 together form a receiving cavity 21. The second magnetic member 32 is disposed in the receiving cavity 21. The first shell 25 and the second shell 26 can be connected into a whole by screwing, so that the first shell 25 and the second shell 26 are firmly connected. In other possible embodiments, the first shell 25 and the second shell 26 can also be connected into a whole by bonding or snap-fitting. In the present application, the receiving cavity 21, the guide groove 22, the limiting structure 23 and the limiting groove 24 are all disposed on the second shell 26.

[0049] In some embodiments, there are multiple first magnetic components 31, each first magnetic component 31 is respectively disposed at a corner of the door panel 10. Specifically, there are four first magnetic components 31, and the four first magnetic components 31 are respectively disposed at the four corners of the door panel 10.

[0050] In the present application, the number of second magnetic members 32 is set to be multiple, and the second magnetic members 32 can be distributed only at the position above the receiving cavity 21, so as to firmly adsorb the door panel 10 when the door panel 10 is in the second state. The second magnetic members 32 can also be distributed in the range swept by the door panel 10 when it moves, that is, the second magnetic members 32 are distributed at the position above the receiving cavity 21 and are also arranged corresponding to the position of the receiving cavity 21, so as to increase the adsorption range of the second magnetic members 32 and prevent the door panel 10 from shaking.
