DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] See also Figure 1-7 The utility model provides a technical solution: a chassis side panel, comprising a chassis body 1 and a side panel body 2 arranged on both sides of the chassis body 1, wherein the side panel body 2 comprises an upper folding plate 21 and a lower folding plate 22 arranged to fold and rotate with each other;

[0032] Four sets of rotating shaft seats 3 are provided at the four corners of the inner side surfaces of the upper folding plate 21 and the lower folding plate 22 away from each other, and rotating shafts 31 are provided on the outer sides of the rotating shaft seats 3;

[0033] The folding mechanism 4 includes an installation portion 41 provided on the side panel body 2 and the chassis body 1 for unfolding the upper folding plate 21 and the lower folding plate 22 and installing them on the chassis body 1, and a locking portion 42 provided on the rotating shaft 31 and the chassis body 1 for fixing the upper folding plate 21 and the lower folding plate 22 after installation.

[0034] The mounting portion 41 includes a slide rail 411 disposed on the inner side of the chassis body 1 for the rotation shaft 31 to slide.

[0035] An opening 412 for inserting the rotating shaft 31 into the slide rail 411 is provided at the upper end of the slide rail 411 near the outer side.

[0036] In addition, the locking portion 42 includes:

[0037] A locking post 421 is slidably disposed on the rotating shaft 31 at the upper end of the chassis body 1 near the rear side of the chassis;

[0038] The elastic member 422 is provided between the locking column 421 and the rotating shaft 31 and is used to provide elastic power to the locking column 421;

[0039] The lock hole 423 is provided at the rear end of the chassis body 1 and is used to cooperate with the lock post 421 to achieve fixation after the upper folding plate 21 and the lower folding plate 22 are unfolded.

[0040] At the same time, the elastic member 422 includes:

[0041] A limiting sliding groove 424 is provided on the rotating shaft 31 for limiting the sliding movement of the locking column 421 on the rotating shaft 31;

[0042] The return spring 425 is disposed in the limiting sliding groove 424 , with one end abutting against the limiting sliding groove 424 and the other end abutting against the locking column 421 .

[0043] The locking hole 423 is a through hole with a single-side limit on the chassis body 1 , and a button 426 is provided in the locking hole 423 for sliding limit, and is used to release the fixing effect of the locking column 421 on the side panel.

[0044] In addition, the upper folding plate 21 and the lower folding plate 22 are rotated by hinges 23 .

[0045] Finally, a pull ring 24 is provided on the upper folding plate 21 near the lower folding plate 22, which is used to facilitate pulling the upper folding plate 21 and the lower folding plate 22 to fold after the locking portion 42 is released;

[0046] When in use, the locking portion 42 can be regarded as the upper folding plate 21 first, and then the rotating shafts 31 on both sides of the lower folding plate 22 can be placed in the slide rails 411 through the openings 412 at the slide rails 411. Then, the lower folding plate 22 can be slid downward by one end, and the angle between the upper folding plate 21 and the lower folding plate 22 can be adjusted so that the rotating shaft 31 of the upper folding plate 21 can also be placed in the opening 412 of the slide rails 411. Note that when placing it, the locking column 421 needs to be pressed into the rotating shaft 31. At this time, the return spring 425 is in a compressed state, and the upper folding plate 21 and the lower folding plate 22 are fully unfolded into a flat shape. At this time, the locking column 421 will spring into the locking hole 423 under the action of the return spring 425, thereby fixing the side plate.

[0047] When releasing the fixation, it is only necessary to press the button 426 to squeeze the lock column 421 out of the lock hole 423, so that the upper folding plate 21 and the lower folding plate 22 can be folded in half by pulling the pull ring 24, and the folded side panel can be slid to the bottom end, so that the chassis body 1 at the side panel position is in an open door state, so that the chassis body 1 can be repaired, the chassis can be cleaned, and other activities can be carried out.
