The sheet metal cover and each third edge strip are locked together by a plurality of fasteners. A waterproof sealing gasket is provided at the bottom of the covering protrusion.
[0007] The joints of each of the first edge strips adopt a 45° bevel splicing structure.
[0008] The joints of the third side strips are joined at a 45° bevel.
[0009] The outer side of the sheet metal base is flush with the outer side of the sheet metal cover.
[0010] Each of the third edge strips is provided with a plurality of nail holes, and the sheet metal cover is provided with through holes at the positions corresponding to each nail hole. Each of the fasteners passes through the through holes and the corresponding nail holes in sequence to lock the sheet metal cover and the corresponding third edge strip together.
[0011] With the above structure, the sheet metal housing of the charging pile of this utility model has the following advantages:
[0012] First, the sheet metal bottom shell has an integrally formed N-fold section along the side edge of the opening.
