[0030] Among them, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sheet metal frame 2 includes a frame body 21. The outer edge of the frame body 21 is bent to form an upwardly protruding frame flange 22. The frame body 21 and the frame flange 22 are an integral structure, and the frame flange 22 is extruded to form an outwardly protruding, arc-shaped frame buckle 23. It should be explained that the sheet metal frame 2 in this embodiment can be a sheet metal part processed from stainless steel sheet.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the edge of the sheet metal shell 1 is provided with an upward protruding shell flange 12 located outside the frame fold 22. The shell flange 12 and the sheet metal shell 1 are an integral structure. The inner side wall of the shell flange 12 is provided with an inwardly opening shell slot 13 corresponding to the frame buckle 23 of the sheet metal frame 2.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the frame buckle 23 of the frame fold 22 is inserted into the outer shell groove 13 of the outer shell flange 12, and the top surface of the outer shell groove 13 limits and blocks the upper surface of the outer shell buckle.

[0033] In the process of fastening and assembling the sheet metal shell 1 and the sheet metal frame 2 in this embodiment, the sheet metal frame 2 is first aligned with the upper opening of the shell receiving cavity 11 and the sheet metal frame 2 is pressed downward into the upper opening of the shell receiving cavity 11. During this process, the arc-shaped frame buckle 23 of the frame fold 22 first abuts against the inner side wall of the shell flange 12 and elastically contracts inward. When the frame buckle 23 moves down to the shell groove 13 position of the shell flange 12, the frame buckle 23 elastically resets and inserts into the shell groove 13. At this time, the top surface of the shell groove 13 limits and blocks the upper surface of the shell buckle. That is, the sheet metal frame 2 is fastened and assembled to the sheet metal shell 1 by fastening the frame buckle 23 and the shell groove 13.

[0034] It should be emphasized that the novel sheet metal buckle structure of this embodiment consists only of a sheet metal shell 1 and a sheet metal frame 2, and the frame body 21, the frame fold 22, and the frame buckle 23 are an integral structure, as are the sheet metal shell 1 and the shell flange 12.

[0036] In summary, the novel sheet metal buckle structure of this embodiment has the advantages of novel design, simple structure, and convenient and quick assembly through the above structural design.

[0037] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the upper edge of the frame fold 22 is bent to form a frame shoulder 24 that extends horizontally outward, and the frame shoulder 24 and the sheet metal frame 2 are an integral structure.

[0038] The upper surface of the outer shell flange 12 is provided with an outer shell positioning groove 14 corresponding to the frame shoulder 24, and the frame shoulder 24 is inserted into the outer shell positioning groove 14.

[0039] During the process of pressing the sheet metal frame 2 downward into the housing cavity 11 of the sheet metal housing 1, when the sheet metal frame 2 is pressed into place, the frame shoulder 24 of the metal frame is pressed into the housing positioning groove 14 of the sheet metal housing 1. Through the cooperation between the housing positioning groove 14 and the frame shoulder 24, this embodiment can further improve the accuracy of the assembly of the sheet metal frame 2 and the sheet metal housing 1.

[0040] Example 3, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 3 and embodiment 2 is that: the side shoulder 24 is provided with a vertical through-hole 25, and the bottom surface of the outer shell positioning groove 14 is provided with an upward protruding fastening post 15 corresponding to the fastening hole 25. The fastening post 15 and the outer shell flange 12 are an integral structure, and the fastening post 15 is fastened into the fastening hole 25 of the side shoulder 24.

[0041] It should be noted that by using the buckle post 15 and buckle hole 25 together, this third embodiment can further improve the stability and reliability of the assembly of sheet metal frame 2 and sheet metal shell 1.

[0042] Example 4, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the difference between this embodiment four and embodiment one is that the outer shell flange 12 at one of the length directions of the sheet metal outer shell 1 is provided with a through groove 16.

[0043] It should be noted that when it is necessary to disassemble the sheet metal frame 2, the workers can lift the frame body 21 upward through the through groove 16 of the outer shell flange 12 so that the sheet metal frame 2 can be disengaged from the sheet metal outer shell 1.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model.
