[0026] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, when installing the protective plate 2, place the protective plate 2 at the opening of the mounting cavity 11, so that the four corner blocks 21 of the protective plate 2 are respectively inserted into the four corner slots 13 of the mounting cavity 11, and at the same time, insert the positioning pin 22 into the positioning groove 14. This allows for quick positioning of the protective plate 2, facilitating its installation. Then, simply move the push rod 37 with one hand to retract the limiting block 36 into the receiving groove 34. Then, move the limiting plate 32 with the other hand to rotate it from the groove 31 into the limiting groove 33. Finally, release the push rod 37, so that the spring 35 pushes the limiting block 36 against the limiting plate 32. At the top, the limiting plate 32 is used to limit the position, and at the same time, the limiting plate 32 is used to limit the position of the protective plate 2, so as to realize the installation of the protective plate 2. When the compressor needs maintenance, simply move the push rod 37 with one hand to make the push rod 37 drive the limiting block 36 to retract into the receiving groove 34, and then move the limiting plate 32 with the other hand to make the limiting plate 32 rotate from the limiting groove 33 into the recess 31. Then release the push rod 37, so that the spring 35 pushes the limiting block 36 against one side of the limiting plate 32 to limit the position of the limiting plate 32. The protective plate 2 can then be removed, and the compressor can be maintained without the need for tools. The operation is very convenient and improves the maintenance efficiency of the compressor.
