[0035] The hook 2 is hingedly connected with the stop piece 4 through the third hinge shaft 33.

[0036] Working principle: when the box door is opened, the hook swings downward in the accommodating groove through the first hinge shaft, and the pull rod is linked and swung through the second hinge shaft. An active lever is connected to the other end of the pull rod, and the pull spring hook is connected to the cylindrical surface of the active lever; at the same time, the other end of the pull spring is connected with the main body. When the box door starts to open, the pull spring is passively stretched, and always generates a retracting force, which is temporarily stored.

[0037] The driving pulley and the driving shift fork for pushing the driving pulley are also embedded in the main body. During the opening of the box door, the hook synchronously pushes the driving pulley to the end of the driving shift fork, the compression spring sleeved on the holder of the driving shift fork is passively compressed, forcing the driving pulley to separate from the locking groove of the hook, and sliding along the guide table of the hook.

[0039] The mutual cooperation of the compression spring and the pull spring is ingeniously utilized, the hook and the pulley realize mutual coordination movement, the contact forced friction between the mutual parts is avoided, and the opening operation of the box door is more smooth and labor-saving.

[0040] When the box door is closed, the external pulling force of the user on the box door is cancelled, the retracting pulling force of the tension spring is released, the tension spring drives the hook to swing back around the first rotating shaft through the interconnection of the movable rod and the pull rod, the hook gradually resets to the original position, and the closing of the box door is realized.

[0041] The driving pulley and the locking groove form a mechanical locking structure, the locking is stable and firm, the situation of insufficient locking force caused by the traditional locking relying on the tension spring alone is avoided, in the case of external vibration or slight pulling force, the box door will not be loose or opened, and the sealing and safety of the box door are significantly improved.

[0042] Further, the locking groove is in the shape of a circular arc, and the circular arc is used to transition between the locking groove and the guide table, the guide surface of the guide table can guide the movement track of the driving pulley, so that the hook and the driving pulley can be smoothly and quickly and accurately closed and locked, and the closing effect of the box door is improved.

[0043] In the case, through the cooperation of the compression spring and the tension spring, unlike the traditional method of closing the box door by using a single spring pulling force, not only does the method provide a buffer force for the closing of the box door, but also avoids the problems of rapid impact of the box door caused by excessive pulling force of the tension spring or noise, effectively protects the box door and the equipment body, prolongs the service life, further improves the sealing and closing performance of the equipment, has high safety, and has high equipment thermal efficiency.
