[0048] The following description is made with reference to the drawings. Figures 1-14 A cabinet assembly according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0049] A cabinet assembly 60 according to an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figures 1-5 , comprises a front shell part 601, a rear shell part 63 and a top cover 16.

[0050] The front shell part 601 is formed with an air outlet 12, and the rear shell part 63 is connected to the rear side of the front shell part 601 and is formed with an air inlet 64. A top cover 16 is arranged on the top of the front shell part 601 and the rear shell part 63. The top cover 16 comprises a top cover body 17 and a first flange 18 connected to the outer periphery of the top cover body 17 and extending downward. By arranging the top cover 16 to comprise the first flange 18 connected to the outer periphery of the top cover body 17 and extending downward, when the top cover 16 needs to cooperate with other components below the top cover 16, the first flange 18 is closer to the other components, and the first flange 18 does not affect the structure of the top cover body 17, so that the first flange 18 can be matched with the other components, and the top cover 16 is more easily matched and connected with the other components.

[0051] The lower surface of the top cover body 17 is provided with a first reinforcing structure 19, which is closer to the outer periphery of the top cover body 17 than the middle part of the top cover body 17, and the first reinforcing structure 19 is connected with the first flange 18. By arranging the first reinforcing structure 19 to be closer to the outer periphery of the top cover body 17 than the middle part of the top cover body 17, the first reinforcing structure 19 can be closer to the first flange 18, so as to facilitate the connection between the first reinforcing structure 19 and the first flange 18. By connecting the first reinforcing structure 19 with the first flange 18, the first reinforcing structure 19 can reinforce the structural strength of the first flange 18, so as to avoid the deformation of the first flange 18 and the existence of a matching gap when the first flange 18 cooperates with other components, and reduce the assembly difficulty.

[0052] According to the shell assembly 60 of the embodiment of the utility model, by arranging the top cover 16 to comprise the first flange 18, the edge region of the top cover 16 can be more easily matched and connected with other components. Furthermore, by arranging the lower surface of the top cover body 17 to be provided with the first reinforcing structure 19 and connecting the first reinforcing structure 19 with the first flange 18, the first reinforcing structure 19 can reinforce the structural strength of the first flange 18, so as to avoid the deformation of the first flange 18 and the existence of a matching gap when the first flange 18 cooperates with other components, and reduce the assembly difficulty.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the utility model, refer to Figure 14The top cover body 17 comprises a front cover part 23 and a rear cover part 24, the front cover part 23 covers the top of the front shell part 601, the rear cover part 24 covers the top of the rear shell part 63, the first flange 18 is connected to the outer periphery of the rear cover part 24 and supported on the top of the rear shell part 63, and the first reinforcing structure 19 is arranged on the lower surface of the rear cover part 24. By connecting the first flange 18 to the outer periphery of the rear cover part 24 and supporting the first flange 18 on the top of the rear shell part 63, the connection between the top cover 16 and the rear shell part 63 can be more secure. Since the first flange 18 is connected to the outer periphery of the rear cover part 24, the first flange 18 is prone to deformation. By arranging the first reinforcing structure 19 on the lower surface of the rear cover part 24, the first reinforcing structure 19 can be closer to the first flange 18, making it easier to reinforce the structural strength of the first flange 18 and preventing deformation of the first flange 18 from causing gaps when the first flange 18 is fitted with other components, thereby reducing assembly difficulty.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 14 The lower surface of the rear cover part 24 is provided with a first connecting structure 25, the first connecting structure 25 is connected with the rear shell part 63, the first reinforcing structure 19 comprises a first reinforcing rib structure 20, the first reinforcing rib structure 20 is connected with the first connecting structure 25 and the first flange 18 and collectively surrounds at least one reinforcing cavity 28. For example, the first connecting structure 25 can be a cylindrical groove to facilitate the connection and fixation of the top cover 16 with other components by fasteners 50.

By arranging multiple reinforcing cavities 28 along the circumference direction of the first flange 18, the first flange 18 can be strengthened by the reinforcing cavities 28 in the circumference direction, and the first flange 18 can be more fully strengthened by the reinforcing cavities 28. By arranging multiple first reinforcing ribs 22 in each group of first reinforcing rib groups 21 and surrounding each reinforcing cavity 28 by the corresponding first reinforcing rib group 21, the first connecting structure 25 and the first flange 18, the first flange 18 can be more fully strengthened by the reinforcing cavities 28.

[0056] For example, the reinforcing cavities 28 can be two, three or the like.

By arranging the multiple first connecting columns 26 and the multiple first bolts 27 along the circumference direction of the first flange 18, the top cover 16 and other components can be connected by the first bolts 27 and / or the first connecting columns 26 in the circumference direction of the first flange 18, the connection between the top cover 16 and other components is more sufficient, and the top cover 16 is prevented from falling off. By surrounding each reinforcing cavity 28 by the corresponding first reinforcing rib group 21, the first connecting column 26, the first bolt 27 and the first flange 18, the first flange 18 can be more fully strengthened by the reinforcing cavities 28; and the first reinforcing rib group 21 can increase the structural strength of the first bolt 27 and the first connecting column 26.

[0059] For example, the first connecting column 26 can be one, two, three or the like.

[0060] For example, the first bolt 27 can be one, two, three or the like.

[0061] For example, the first connecting column 26 is provided with a connecting hole, when the top cover 16 is connected with other components, the fastener 50 is arranged in the connecting hole to connect the top cover 16 with other components.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first pin 27 is connected with the first flange 18, the first connecting column 26 corresponding to each reinforcing cavity 28 is connected with the first flange 18 through the first reinforcing rib 22, and the first connecting column 26 corresponding to each reinforcing cavity 28 is connected with the first pin 27 through the first reinforcing rib 22. By connecting the first pin 27 with the first flange 18, the first pin 27 can link the top cover 16 with other components, and also has the effect of reinforcing the first flange 18, so that the deformation of the first flange 18 is more effectively prevented. By connecting the first connecting column 26 corresponding to each reinforcing cavity 28 with the first pin 27 through the first reinforcing rib 22, the connection between the first connecting column 26, the first pin 27 and the first flange 18 is more firm, and after arranging the positions of the first pin 27 and the first connecting column 26 according to the connection points of other devices, the first reinforcing rib 22 can be directly arranged to connect the first connecting column 26 with the first pin 27, so that the shape of the reinforcing cavity 28 is more conveniently arranged.
