[0036] Furthermore, the fixing portion 41 is provided with a lug 1 411, the lug 1 411 is provided with a through hole 1 412, the shell 2 is provided with a lug 24, the lug 24 is provided with a through hole 241, and the panel 1 is provided with a fixing column 16, the fixing column 16 passes through the through hole 1 412 and the through hole 2 241 in sequence, and the lug 1 411 and the lug 2 24 are connected through the fixing column 16, thereby connecting the sealing ring 4, the panel 1 and the shell 2.
[0037] Furthermore, there are four lugs 411 equidistantly arranged on the outer wall of the fixing portion 41 , so that the sealing ring 4 , the panel 1 and the shell 2 are more tightly connected, are not easy to fall off, and receive more balanced force.
[0038] like Figure 5-7 As shown, at least one hook 21 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the housing 2, and a groove 31 corresponding to the hook 21 is provided on the back cover 3. The groove 31 is snap-connected with the hook 21. This design can effectively fix and the installation structure is convenient and quick.
[0039] Furthermore, the number of the hooks 21 and the number of the grooves 31 are both 6 and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the hooks 21 are arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the shell 2 at equal intervals.
[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the panel 1 is provided with a first connecting portion 11 which is columnar and extends toward the shell 2, and the shell 2 is provided with a second connecting portion 22 corresponding to the first connecting portion 11, and bolts pass through the second connecting portion 22 and the first connecting portion 11 in sequence to fix the panel 1 and the shell 2.
[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, an inwardly recessed guide groove 222 is defined in the second connecting portion 22 , and the first connecting portion 11 is inserted into the guide groove 222 .
[0042] Specifically, the first connecting part 11 is provided with a connecting hole 111, and the second connecting part 22 is provided with a connecting hole 221 coaxially arranged with the connecting hole 111.
