Therefore, the first buckles 300 can be buckled with the second buckles 400. It can be understood that the connection between the panel body 100 and the knob 200 can be realized after the first buckles 300 are buckled with the second buckles 400. Compared with the existing screw connection mode, the buckling mode can complete the assembly faster, improve the assembly efficiency and facilitate the maintenance or replacement of the panel body 100 or the knob 200.

[0036] It can be understood that the first buckles 300 and the second buckles 400 can both be barb-shaped structures and are locked by elastic deformation when buckled. When disassembly is needed, external force needs to be applied to the knob 200 to overcome the buckling force between the first buckles 300 and the second buckles 400, so as to quickly realize disassembly. The shapes of the first buckles 300 and the second buckles 400 can also be other types, which are not limited here.

[0037] The panel body 100 is provided with a socket 500 exposed to the side of the panel body 100 facing the knob 200. The knob 200 is also provided with a pin 600 on the side facing the panel body 100, and the pin 600 is inserted into the socket 500.
