[0013] 1. This novel electrical automation instrument protection component is equipped with a fixing plate and a fixing structure. The fixing plate is first fixed to the outer wall of the front panel of the electrical instrument body with adhesive. The protective shell is then snapped onto the front panel of the electrical instrument body. When the fixing plate presses against the buckle, the buckle drives the pressing plate to rotate outward, causing the torsion spring to contract under pressure. When the protective shell abuts against the fixing plate, the spring force of the torsion spring pushes the pressing plate, causing the buckle to engage in the slot. When the protective shell needs to be removed, the front end of the pressing plate is pressed, causing the pressing plate to lift, allowing the protective shell to be pulled forward. Through the combined use of the fixing plate and the fixing structure, the protective shell can be quickly installed and removed, making the operation convenient and efficient, improving installation efficiency, and facilitating use.
