The front side of the electrical control box is open and corresponds to the opening of the middle frame. A cover plate is provided on the front side of the middle frame at the opening. The cover plate is detachably installed on the middle frame and closes the opening on the front side of the electrical control box. The communication module is installed on the front side of the cover plate and is located between the panel and the cover plate.

[0005] The cover plate is plate-shaped. To facilitate holding the cover plate and installing and removing it, the side of the cover plate facing the panel is further provided with a groove protruding towards the electrical control box, and a pinch plate is provided in the groove.

[0006] To facilitate quick and secure installation of the communication module onto the cover plate, and to facilitate its disassembly, the communication module is further installed onto the cover plate using screws and / or a plug-in structure. Specifically, the communication module has a cuboid shape, a limiting slot is provided on the front side of the cover plate, and a protruding limiting block is provided at the first corner of each of the four corners of the communication module, which is inserted into the limiting slot; the front side of the cover plate also has right-angled limiting ribs, and the second corners of each of the four corners of the communication module are placed within the right angles formed by the limiting ribs; the cover plate also has screw posts, and a protruding fixing block is provided at the third corner of each of the four corners of the communication module, which is fixed to the screw posts of the cover plate by screws.

[0007] To facilitate quick and secure installation of the cover plate onto the middle frame, and to facilitate its removal, the cover plate is further installed using screws and / or a plug-in structure. Specifically, one side of the cover plate has two plug-in blocks, the middle frame has plug-in slots that fit the plug-in blocks of the cover plate, and the other side of the cover plate has a screw hole and is fixedly connected to the middle frame with a screw.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The communication module is installed on the cover plate, located between the panel and the cover plate. The cover plate is made of non-metallic material, ensuring a dry installation environment free from interference from metal parts and guaranteeing the reliability of the communication module's signal. The communication module's location between the panel and the cover plate allows for complete exposure of the module upon opening the panel, facilitating its installation, removal, testing, and maintenance. Opening the panel also exposes the cover plate, which, when removed, reveals the interior of the electrical control box, facilitating the inspection and testing of its internal components.
