[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes an IoT communication box that is easy to maintain, comprising:

[0027] Box 1, with a top cover 2 installed on the upper end of the box 1. The bottom of the top cover 2 is fixed with a protruding edge. The protruding edge is rectangular in shape but will not interfere with the installation of the deformation locking buckle 5. When the top cover 2 abuts against the upper end of the box 1, the protruding edge is located on the inner wall of the box 1 and abuts against it, which achieves the effect of aligning the top cover 2 with the box 1.

[0028] The connecting assembly for mounting the top cover 2 onto the box body 1 includes four deformable locking buckles 5 fixed to the bottom of the top cover 2. Each deformable locking buckle 5 includes a connecting block 8 fixed to the bottom of the top cover 2. Two connecting pieces 7 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 8. A rhombus frame 6 is fixed to the bottom of the two connecting pieces 7. The upper end of the rhombus frame 6 is open. The rhombus frame 6, connecting pieces 7, and connecting blocks 8 are made of the same material and are integrally formed. The material can be stainless steel or plastic. Since the rhombus frame 6 abuts against the triangular block 4 and is squeezed, it will deform. Due to different materials or thicknesses, the required squeezing force is different, and the force required for disassembly is also different. During production, multiple attempts can be made according to actual needs to obtain a suitable material and a suitable thickness for the deformable locking buckle 5 to ensure that the top cover 2 can be stably mounted on the box body 1.

[0029] The inner wall of the box 1 is fixed with four sets of locking groups that cooperate with the deformable locking buckles 5. Each locking group includes two triangular blocks 4 fixed to the inner wall of the box 1. The two triangular blocks 4 are arranged opposite each other in a funnel shape. The deformable locking buckles 5 can pass through the triangular blocks 4 and fasten to the lower side of the triangular blocks 4, abutting against each other. When the top cover 2 is connected to the box 1, the rhombus-shaped frame 6 abuts against the upper end of the triangular blocks 4. Pressing down on the top cover 2 will exert downward pressure on the deformable locking buckles 5, ultimately squeezing and deforming the rhombus-shaped frame 6 inward, allowing it to pass through the two triangular blocks 4 and return to its original position using its own strength, thus achieving installation. Figure 4 As shown.

[0030] When disassembly is required, the upper end of the box body 1 is provided with two wedge-shaped grooves 11, which are positioned opposite to the upper cover 2. Thus, the part of the upper cover 2 that is opposite to the wedge-shaped grooves 11 protrudes, making it convenient for the user to hook the upper cover 2 with their fingers so as to apply an upward pulling force to the upper cover 2, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the upper cover 2. It should be noted that another user needs to limit the box body 1 to prevent it from moving with the upper cover 2, or fix the protrusion on the box body 1 so that the user's fingers can press against the protrusion and other fingers can push the upper cover 2 upward to achieve the disassembly of the upper cover 2 without the need for external tools, and the disassembly method is simple.

[0031] To ensure the stability of the box 1, a rubber pad 9 is fixed to the bottom of the box 1, which increases the stability with the contact surface.

[0032] To dissipate heat from the inside of the box 1, a heat dissipation mechanism is also included. The heat dissipation mechanism includes multiple decorative strips 3 fixed on the upper cover 2. The upper cover 2 and the decorative strips 3 are both made of plastic and are integrally molded. The multiple decorative strips 3 are arranged in a linear array at the upper end of the upper cover 2, and exhaust grooves 10 are provided through the upper cover 2 and the decorative strips 3. The generated heat flows upward and can be discharged through the exhaust grooves 10. Since the exhaust grooves 10 are set through both sides of the decorative strips 3 and are inclined with the lower end facing the upper cover 2, the dust falling is not easy to enter the box 1 through the exhaust grooves 10. This not only dissipates heat from the inside of the box 1, but also reduces the amount of dust falling in.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
