For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 , an overflow box provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a box body 1 and a cover body 2 which can be slidably arranged on the upper end of the box body 1, and the upper edges of the two opposite side panels of the box body 1 are respectively provided with protrusions 101, and the two opposite sides of the cover body 2 are respectively provided with sliding parts 201, and the sliding parts 201 match the protrusions 101, and the side of the sliding part 201 facing the protrusion 101 is provided with a guide groove 2011, and the sliding part 201 can be slidably mounted on the protrusion 101, and the protrusion 101 is located in the guide groove 2011. The overflow box of the present invention slides directly on the protrusion 101 through the sliding part 201, and there is no need to set a guide rail assembly and a guide wheel assembly. The guide groove 2011 plays a guiding role, which reduces the material cost, has a simple and reasonable structure, and is easy to manufacture.

[0034] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, on the upper edges of two opposite side plates of the box body 1, they are bent upward to form a protruding part 101. On the opposite sides of the cover body 2, they are bent downward to form a sliding part 201. The guiding groove 2011 is of a U-shaped structure. The protruding part 101 includes a horizontally arranged first side 1011 and a second side 1012 perpendicular to one end of the first side 1011. The first side 1011 and the second side 1012 are connected into an integral structure. The first side 1011 is connected to the box body 1 into an integral structure. The sliding part 201 includes a horizontally arranged third side 2012 and a fourth side 2013 perpendicular to one end of the third side 2012. The third side 2012 and the fourth side 2013 are connected into an integral structure. The fourth side 2013 is connected to the cover body 2 into an integral structure, with better integrity, simple structure, more convenient production, without welding required. The third side 2012 is located below the first side 1011. The cooperation between the first side 1011 and the third side 2012 makes the sliding guiding better and the sliding stability good.

[0035] As Figure 1-Figure 3 shown, the sliding part 201 is arranged along the length direction of the cover body 2. On one side in the width direction of the cover body 2, a locking plate 3 is rotatably arranged in an operable manner. On the side of the locking plate 3 facing away from the box body 1, at least 1 locking component is arranged. Specifically, the number of locking components is 2. The locking plate 3 is rotatably connected to the cover body 2 through a hinge.

[0036] Furthermore, as Figure 4 shown, the locking component includes a locking seat 4 and a locking rod 5 detachably inserted into the locking seat 4. The locking plate 3 is provided with a slot 301 running through it. On the outside of one side plate in the width direction of the box body 1, at least 1 fixing plate 6 is fixedly arranged. The fixing plate 6 can be detachably arranged in the slot 301. One end of the locking rod 5 is detachably inserted into the fixing plate 6. The fixing plate 6 is perpendicular to the box body 1. One fixing plate 6 is correspondingly arranged for each locking component. When the cover body 2 is completely closed, the locking plate 3 will rotate downward to overlap with the box body 1. The fixing plate 6 is inserted into the slot 301. At this time, the locking rod 5 is inserted into the locking seat 4. The fixing plate 6 is provided with an oblong hole 601 correspondingly. One end of the locking rod 5 is inserted into the oblong hole 601, locking the cover body 2 and the box body 1 together to prevent the cover body 2 from opening during transportation and enhancing the transportation safety.

[0037] As Figure 1-Figure 4 shown, on the upper side of the cover body 2, at least 1 sunken storage groove 202 is arranged. In the storage groove 202, a handle 7 is rotatably arranged. Specifically, the number of storage grooves 202 is 2. The two storage grooves 202 are symmetrically arranged. The handle 7 is placed flat in the storage groove 202. The storage groove 202 prevents the handle 7 from protruding beyond the upper side of the cover body 2 when it is retracted. When it is necessary to carry or install the overflow box, the handle 7 is rotated to stand up, and the staff pulls the handle 7 for carrying, enhancing the work flexibility. <00,00092>As Figure 2As shown, a baffle 8 is fixedly provided on the lower side of the sliding part 201, and a limit plate 9 is respectively provided on the outer side of the two side plates in the length direction of the box body 1. The limit plate 9 cooperates with the baffle 8.
