As shown in the figures, Figure 10 and Figure 11 The convex limiting structure 22 includes a plug-in part 221 and a pressing part 222, one end of the plug-in part 221 is located in the assembly groove 23 and connected with the elastic member 24, and the other end of the plug-in part 221 is connected with the pressing part 222. When the pressing part 222 is pressed, the elastic member 24 can be compressed and the plug-in part 221 can be retracted into the assembly groove 23. As shown in the figures, Figure 8 and Figure 9 The groove bottom of the clamping groove 14 of the embodiment is recessed to form a third groove 16, one end of the groove bottom of the third groove 16 communicates with the plug-in hole 15, and the other end extends to the end face of the buckle plate 1 to form a first opening, that is, the two ends of the groove bottom of the third groove 16 respectively communicate with the plug-in hole 15 and the end face of the buckle plate 1.

[0050] During installation, the plug-in part 221 can be plugged into the plug-in hole 15, and the end of the pressing part 222 away from the plug-in part 221 protrudes out of the plug-in hole 15.

[0051] When disassembly is needed, the pressing portion 222 is in the pressing state, so that the plug-in portion 221 moves and shrinks into the assembly groove 23, and the plug-in portion 221 can be completely separated from the plug-in hole 15; at the same time, the pressing portion 222 moves towards the convex buckle 21, and when the end of the pressing portion 222 away from the plug-in portion 221 corresponds to the position of the third groove 16, by applying an external force, the end of the pressing portion 222 away from the plug-in portion 221 can be plugged into the third groove 16, and the pressing portion 222 can continue to slide along the third groove 16 and slide out of the first opening, and the clamping portion 141 of the clamping groove 14 can be separated from the limiting step of the convex buckle 21 by relative sliding. That is, by pressing the pressing portion 222, the buckle plate 1 and the side plate 2 can be separated by sliding.

[0053] In the embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 9 the extension direction of the third groove 16 is consistent with the extension direction of the clamping groove 14. That is, the sliding direction of the pressing portion 222 along the third groove 16 is parallel to the sliding direction of the convex buckle 21 along the clamping groove 14, so as to ensure that the convex buckle 21 slides along the clamping groove 14 while the pressing portion 222 slides along the third groove 16.

[0054] In the embodiment, the elastic member 24 is a spring or a compression spring, which can be specifically selected by those skilled in the art.

[0055] When the buckle plate 1 and the side plate 2 are assembled, the clamping groove 14 of the buckle plate 1 is clamped to the limiting step of the convex buckle 21 of the side plate 2 in the vertical direction, and the protruding limiting structure 22 on the side plate 2 is inserted into the plug-in hole 15 of the buckle plate 1 to limit the movement of the buckle plate 1 and the side plate 2 in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, so as to ensure the connection and fixing effect of the two, and avoid falling off. When the buckle plate 1 and the side plate 2 need to be disassembled, the plug-in portion 221 moves downward and is separated from the plug-in hole 15 by pressing the pressing portion 222, at this time, the pressing portion 222 can slide horizontally along the third groove 16 and slide out of the first opening, and the limiting step of the convex buckle 21 can slide horizontally along the clamping portion 141 of the clamping groove 14 and slide out of the second opening; so as to realize the disassembly and separation of the buckle plate 1 and the side plate 2.

[0056] And in order to facilitate the realization of the pressing part 222 away from the plug-in part 221 one end plug-in third groove 16 sliding operation, can be in the pressing part 222 away from the plug-in part 221 one end and the initial contact position of the third groove 16 setting guide structure, such as inclined plane or arc structure.

[0057] The buckle plate 1 and the side plate 2 of the embodiment can be fixed by clamping to ensure firm connection and avoid shaking or unstable connection; and the buckle plate 1 and the side plate 2 can be separated by pressing the pressing part 222 and then sliding, which can avoid damaging the clamping structure and is simple and efficient.

[0058] The principle and implementation mode of the utility model are described by applying specific examples in the utility model, and the above embodiment is only used for helping to understand the method and core idea of the utility model; meanwhile, according to the idea of the utility model, the specific implementation mode and application range will be changed by the general technical personnel in the field.
