The fastener in the present embodiment is mainly used for fastening and locking a box cover and a box body to close the storage space between the box cover and the box body to ensure the safety of items stored in the storage space.

[0033] The box body connection fastener of this embodiment includes a lower positioning seat 1 and an upper positioning seat 6 that cooperate with the lock buckle. The lower positioning seat 1 and the upper positioning seat 6 are both installed on the box body through a hidden fixing unit. One end of the lower positioning seat 1 is rotatably connected to the rotating cover 2 through a pivot 3. An elastic member is sleeved on the pivot 3, and the elastic member is preferably a torsion spring. An annular buckle 5 is rotatably connected to the rotating cover 2. An arc-shaped card plate 7 is provided at one end of the upper positioning seat 6. A card slot is formed between the arc-shaped card plate 7 and the upper positioning seat 6. The annular buckle 5 is carded in the card slot. When in use, the lower positioning seat 1 is installed and fixed on the box body, and the upper positioning seat 6 is installed and fixed on the box cover. In practical applications, , the upper positioning seat 6 can also be installed on the box body, and the lower positioning seat 1 can be installed on the box cover. Specifically, the installation positions of the lower positioning seat 1 and the upper positioning seat 6 can adopt the conventional method in the field, which will not be repeated here. After the lower positioning seat 1 and the upper positioning seat 6 are installed, the annular buckle 5 can be inserted into the slot of the arc-shaped clamping plate 7 and the rotating cover 2 can be pressed to clamp the position of the annular buckle 5, thereby realizing the buckling and locking of the box cover and the box body, and the lower positioning seat 1 and the upper positioning seat 6 are installed on the box body through the hidden fixing unit set, so as to avoid the connection parts being exposed to the outside, so that the fasteners cannot be disassembled from the outside, and the safety of the fasteners is improved.

[0034] As an implementation method of this embodiment, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the hidden fixing unit includes a mounting groove 12 opened on the back of the lower positioning seat 1 and the upper positioning seat 6, a locking nut 13 movably installed in the mounting groove 12, and a fixing screw 11 threadedly connected to the locking nut 13, the end of the fixing screw 11 abuts against the inner wall of the box body, and the hidden fixing unit also includes a back sealing plate 9 fixedly connected to the back of the lower positioning seat 1 and the upper positioning seat 6, and a through hole 16 is opened on the back sealing plate 9 for the locking nut 13 to pass through. The diameter of the through hole 16 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting groove 12. When the lower positioning seat 1 and the upper positioning seat 6 are installed, the lower positioning seat 1 The position seat 1 and the upper positioning seat 6 are tightly attached to the outer wall of the box body, and holes are drilled at the corresponding through holes 16 of the box body, and the fixing screws 11 are passed through the drilled holes and the through holes 16 in turn and enter the installation grooves 12, so that the fixing screws 11 are connected with the locking nuts 13 until the locking nuts 13 abut against the side walls of the back sealing plate 9 to complete the installation of the lower positioning seat 1 and the upper positioning seat 6. Through this structural design, the connecting parts are hidden to avoid being exposed to the outside, thereby improving the protection function of the fasteners. The installation grooves 12, locking nuts 13 and fixing screws 11 are preferably two groups.
