[0039] The shell assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with an elastic member 300 at the first end of the connecting rod 200, and the two elastic arms 301 of the elastic member 300 are provided with a snap-fitting protrusion 302 on the opposite sides thereof, and a connecting groove 101 for the first end of the connecting rod 200 to be inserted is provided on the shell 100, and the groove walls of the connecting groove 101 are provided with snap-fitting grooves 102 for the snap-fitting protrusions 302 on the two elastic arms 301 to be snapped into, so that the user can assemble and disassemble the shell 100 and the connecting rod 200 by himself, and the operation is simple and convenient. Moreover, the shell 100 and the connecting rod 200 can be disassembled when the product is packaged, thereby reducing the product packaging volume and reducing the waste of packaging space.

[0040] Optionally, the first end of the connecting rod 200 is provided with a receiving groove 201, and through holes 202 are provided on both sides of the groove wall of the receiving groove 201; the elastic member 300 is received in the receiving groove 201, and the engaging protrusions 302 on the two elastic arms 301 are correspondingly passed through the through holes 202 on both sides. In this way, the elastic member 300 and the connecting rod 200 can be detachably connected, so that when the connecting rod 200 or the elastic member 300 is damaged, it is convenient to replace the elastic member 300 and the connecting rod 200.

[0041] Optionally, the elastic member 300 is a U-shaped elastic member, that is, the elastic member 300 is U-shaped.

[0042] Optionally, the engaging protrusion 302 is a spherical protrusion, and the engaging groove 102 is a spherical engaging groove. By setting the engaging protrusion 302 as a spherical protrusion and the engaging groove 102 as a spherical engaging groove, the engaging protrusion 302 is easier to be inserted into the engaging groove 102 during assembly, and the engaging protrusion 302 is easier to be removed from the engaging groove 102 during disassembly, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the connecting rod 200 and the housing 100.

[0043] Optionally, the housing assembly further includes a connection cap 400, which is fixed to the housing 100, and the connection groove 101 is provided on the connection cap 400. By providing the connection cap 400, the elastic member 300 does not directly contact the housing 100 during the assembly and disassembly process of the connecting rod 200 and the housing 100, thereby reducing the wear of the housing 100 and extending the service life of the housing 100.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, a first limiting step 203 is provided on the side of the first end of the connecting rod 200, and a second limiting step 103 is provided on the wall of the connecting groove 101 between the clamping groove 102 and the notch of the connecting groove 101, and the second limiting step 103 is used to abut against the first limiting step 203 to prevent the connecting rod 200 from continuing to penetrate into the connecting groove 101. By providing the first limiting step 203 on the side of the first end of the connecting rod 200, and correspondingly providing the second limiting step 103 on the wall of the connecting groove 101 near its notch, when the first limiting step 203 abuts against the second limiting step 103 during the process of inserting the connecting rod 200 into the connecting groove 101, the connecting rod 200 can be prevented from continuing to penetrate into the connecting groove 101, which facilitates the user to judge whether the connecting rod 200 is inserted in place, making the assembly operation of the connecting rod 200 and the housing 100 easier, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0045] Optionally, the number of the first limiting steps 203 is two, and the two first limiting steps 203 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the connecting rod 200, and the second limiting steps 103 are provided on both sides of the groove wall of the connecting groove 101, and the second limiting steps 103 on both sides can abut against the two first limiting steps 203 in a one-to-one correspondence. Alternatively, the number of the first limiting step 203 and the second limiting step 103 can also be one, as long as the connecting rod 200 can be prevented from continuing to penetrate the connecting groove 101.

[0046] Optionally, the connection cap 400 and the housing 100 are a two-shot injection molding structure, for example, the connection cap 400 can be molded together with the housing 100 by hot pressing or laminating.

[0047] Optionally, the connection cap 400 and the elastic member 300 are made of the same material, thereby increasing the connection strength between the connection cap 400 and the elastic member 300 and further improving the connection reliability of the housing assembly.

[0048] Optionally, the elastic member 300 and the connecting cap 400 are both made of metal, that is, the elastic member 300 is a metal elastic member 300, and the connecting cap 400 is a metal cap. The elastic member 300 and the connecting cap 400 made of metal are not easily damaged, thereby extending the service life. Exemplarily, the elastic member 300 and the connecting cap 400 can both be made of stainless steel; or, the elastic member 300 and the connecting cap 400 can both be made of aluminum alloy.

[0049] Optionally, the connecting rod 200 is made of metal (such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy) or plastic, that is, the connecting rod 200 can be a metal rod or a plastic rod.

[0050] Figure 1 to Figure 4The assembly and disassembly process of the shell assembly shown is as follows: when assembling, firstly, the elastic member 300 is deformed and inserted into the receiving groove 201 of the connecting rod 200, and the engaging protrusions 302 on the two elastic arms 301 are correspondingly inserted into the through holes 202 on both sides of the receiving groove 201; then, the first end of the connecting rod 200 is inserted into the connecting groove 101 of the shell 100, and the engaging protrusions 302 on the two elastic arms 301 are correspondingly inserted into the engaging grooves 102 on both sides, and the assembly of the shell assembly is completed. When disassembling, the connecting rod 200 is pulled outward with force, so that the engaging protrusions 302 on the two elastic arms 301 are disengaged from the engaging grooves 102 on both sides, and the connecting rod 200 is disengaged from the connecting groove 101 of the shell 100, and the disassembly of the shell assembly is completed.
