If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0033] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, terms such as "connection" and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two components or the interaction relationship between two components, unless otherwise clearly limited. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present utility model can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that those of ordinary skill in the art can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0035] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 as shown, the top box 100 of the magnetotelluric instrument provided in an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0037] The top box 100 is generally rectangular in shape and includes at least two box bodies 10 and a bottom plate 20.

[0038] Among them, each of the box bodies 10 includes a bottom panel 15 and four side plates. The four side plates are respectively a front side plate 11 and a rear side plate 12 along the length direction, and a left side plate 13 and a right side plate 14 along the width direction. The four side plates are respectively connected to the four sides of the bottom panel 15.

[0039] Specifically, the side plates can be bent to be perpendicular to the bottom panel 15 through the edges connected to the bottom panel 15, and the sides of the side plates are sealed and connected by welding. Those skilled in the art can know that after cutting the aluminum plate and punching holes (the corresponding structure will be introduced later), and then bending along the side edges of the bottom panel 15, the four side edges of the box body 10 can be welded. Preferably, in this embodiment, the aluminum plate can be made of 5052 aluminum alloy, and processes such as silver-white anodizing and sandblasting can be carried out after bending and welding.

The left wing plates 131 and the right wing plates 141 are perpendicular to the corresponding side plates, and first mounting holes 60 are provided on both the left wing plates 131 and the right wing plates 141.

[0041] Furthermore, the left wing plates 131 and the right wing plates 141 are bent outward along the upper top edges and are perpendicular to the corresponding side plates.

[0042] At least one of the front side plate 11 and the rear side plate 12 is provided with an opening 101 for the circuit to pass through. The opening 101 communicates with the upper top edge of the side plate to form an opening structure.

During installation, the wires of the circuit components disposed inside the box body 10 can be directly snapped into the opening 101 and directly extend to the outside of the box body 10 to be connected to the wiring panel of the magnetotelluric instrument. Compared with the way of opening a round hole, where the wire head needs to pass through the round hole, the way of using the opening 101 allows the wire to be directly placed, making the installation operation more convenient.

[0044] It should be noted that for a rectangular component, the definition of length and width should be that the longer side of the rectangle is called the length, and the shorter side is called the width.

[0045] The bottom plate 20 is rectangular. The length of the bottom plate 20 is greater than the sum of the widths of the box body 10. The width of the bottom plate 20 is greater than the maximum length between the left wing plate 131 and the right wing plate 141. The box body 10 is installed on the bottom plate 20 side by side and at intervals along the length direction of the bottom plate 20 in its width direction. Second mounting holes 62 corresponding to the first mounting holes 60 are provided on the bottom plate 20. The box body 10 and the bottom plate 20 are installed together through the first mounting holes 60, the second mounting holes 62, and bolts (not shown in the figure).

[0047] Multiple box bodies 10 are not only easy to manufacture but also more convenient for wiring through the opening 101 structure. At the same time, different electronic components are separately arranged in different box bodies 10. The operator can first separately assemble each box body 10 and the internal electronic components, and then install each box body 10 on the bottom plate 20 one by one, which not only simplifies the wiring but also is easy to install and not prone to errors.

[0048] Then, a wiring panel is installed above the top box 100. The wires of the circuit components are connected to the outside of the top box 100 through the opening 101 (and / or the opening 102, which will be introduced later) of the top box 100. The wires are connected to the wiring panel, and an identification part for identifying the information of the wires is provided on the front of the wiring panel.

[0049] It is understandable that those skilled in the art should know that terminal posts are generally provided on the wiring panel. The terminal posts are connected to the circuit and can also be connected to external measuring electrodes. The identification part can be words printed or written on the wiring panel in other ways. Preferably, a display screen can also be provided on the wiring panel to display necessary information.

Corresponding screw holes are provided on the bottom plate 20, the left wing plate 131 and the right wing plate 141, which can be used only to fasten the bottom plate 20 to the box body 10 or to assist in fixing the top box 100 on the shell of the plastic suitcase.

[0051] Furthermore, first chamfers 161 are provided at the corners of the left wing plate 131 and the right wing plate 141; second chamfers 162 are provided at the corners of the bottom plate 20, and the second chamfers 162 of the bottom plate 20 cover and shield the first chamfers 161.

[0052] Specifically, side wing plates (the left wing plate 131 and the right wing plate 141) are provided on the left side plate 13 and the right side plate 14 in the width direction, and the bottom plate 20 is fixed by the side wing plates, and it is not necessary to provide side wing plates on all four sides.

[0055] Furthermore, the opening 101 is arc-shaped at the bottom of the side plate.

[0056] Furthermore, the number of the openings 101 is multiple, and the multiple openings 101 have at least two different sizes.

[0057] Furthermore, the number of the openings 102 is multiple, and the openings 102 include one or more of square holes, round holes and rectangular holes.

[0058] Preferably, please refer to Figure 5 andFigure 6 , in a preferred embodiment, a plurality of transverse and longitudinal mounting grooves 21 are formed on the back surface of the bottom plate 20 facing the box body 10. The cross-section of the mounting groove 21 is T-shaped, and the mounting groove 21 can be used to mount partition sheets to divide the space inside the box body 10 into multiple independent sub-spaces. During use, according to the needs of the sub-spaces to be separated for the circuit components of the magnetotelluric instrument, corresponding partitioning is carried out. As long as the partition sheet 22 with the appropriate length is installed into the mounting groove 21 from the edge of the bottom plate 20 and then pushed to the fixed position.
