Abstract

A mounting piece of the case includes a case connecting outer wall and a cover plate connecting outer wall, wherein the case connecting outer wall is provided with a through hole allowing for a case fixing part on an inner wall of a case body to pass through. The provision of the through hole in the mounting piece of the case to allow the case fixing part on the inner wall of the case body to pass through enables the case fixing part to be directly fixed to the case body, without providing a hole in the case body, such that waterproofing can be achieved without providing a seal between the mounting piece and the case body, thus effectively reducing installation materials and improving installation efficiency.
