In some embodiments, the rectangular frame 122 of the front side plate 12 of the box body 10 is disposed with a second reinforcing rod, and the second reinforcing rod is vertically disposed on a middle portion of the rectangular frame 122 so that an anti-bending strength of the front side plate 12 is increased.

(21) Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, a splice gap 60 is defined between the two adjacent side plates 12. As mentioned above, the four side plates 12 comprise plates 123 and rectangular frames 122 connected together. The rectangular frames 122 are disposed along the edges of the four sides of the plates 123. In the two adjacent side plates 12, the rectangular frame 122 of one side plate 12 extends outward to define a side wing 126. The side wing 126 is a long, strip structure vertically disposed, and the side wing 126 covers the splice gap 60 between the two adjacent side plates 12 from an outer side. Four sides of the plates 123 bend inward to define folded edges 127, and the folded edges 127 surround the rectangular frames 122 from the outer side. The rectangular frames 122 are disposed with pressing edges 128 configured to press edges of the folded edges 127. The folded edges 127 of the plates 123 are pressed by the pressing edges 128 of the rectangular frames 122. In this way, the plates 123 are more tightly attached to the rectangular frames 122, so that an overall structure is more compact and stable. As the front side plate 12 and the rear side plate 12 clamp the left side plate 12 and the right side plate 12, in this embodiment, the side wings 126 are defined on the rectangular frames 122 of the front side plate 12 and the rear side plate 12.

(22) Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, in order to enable the box cover 20 to be opened and to be maintained at a predetermined position, a self-positioning structure 70 is disposed between the box cover 20 and the left side plate 12 or the right side plate 12. The self-positioning structure 70 comprises a support rod 71, a fixing base 72, and a friction block 73. The fixing base 72 is disposed on one of the four side plates 12 of the box body 10. The fixing base 72 is disposed with a slide groove 721 passing through an upper top surface and a lower bottom surface of the fixing base 72, and the fixing base 72 is further disposed with a receiving hole 722 in communication with the slide groove 721. A first end of the support rod 71 is pivotally connected to a side wall of the box cover 20, and a second other end of the support rod 71 passes through the slide groove 721. A width of the slide groove 721 is greater than a width of the support rod 71, and the support rod 71 can slide and swing relative to the slide groove 721. The friction block 73 is disposed in the receiving hole 722 and is in friction connection with and cooperates with the support rod 71. The support rod 71 is positioned due to the frictional force between the friction block 73 and the support rod 71, and the support rod 71 can be pulled to move by overcoming the frictional force. An inner surface of the receiving hole 722 is disposed with an internal thread, and the self-positioning structure 70 further comprises an elastic member 74 and a screw bolt 75 cooperating with the internal thread. Two ends of the elastic member 74 respectively abut the friction block 73 and the screw bolt 75. The screw bolt 75 rotates to adjust the frictional force between the friction block 73 and the support rod 71 so that the frictional force between the friction block 73 and the support rod 71 is easily adjusted for various sizes of the box cover 20. An end of the second end of the support rod 71 is disposed with a positioning hook 711 configured to prevent the support rod 71 and the slide groove 721 from separating from each other. Therefore, when the box cover 20 is opened, the box cover 20 can only be opened to a preset maximum angle. That is, the positioning hook 711 is clamped to the fixing base 72, and the support rod 71 will not be drawn out of the slide groove 721 even where a user opens the box cover 20 with excessive force.

(23) In some embodiments, the box cover 20 is disposed with a hinge base 23, and the first end of the support rod 71 is pivotally connected to the hinge base 23. The hinge base 23 is disposed with a positioning pin, the plastic frame of the box cover 20 comprises a plurality of positioning holes cooperating with the positioning pin, and the positioning pin is clamped to one of the plurality of positioning holes. The maximum angle of the box cover 20 can be preset using the plurality of positioning holes, and the preset maximum angle of the box cover 20 is easily adjusted. An entirety of the support rod 71 is disposed in a receiving space defined by the box body 10 and the box cover 20. When the box cover 20 is closed, an appearance of the box body 10 is tidier, and the support rod 71 is prevented from hooking or catching other surrounding objects. In some embodiments, the support rod 71, the fixing base 72, and the hinge base 23 are all plastic elements.

(24) Referring to FIG. 11, where the self-positioning structure 70 is not present and there is a desired for the box cover 20 to be maintained at a specified position after the box cover 20 is opened, a flexible connection belt 80 can also be disposed between the box cover 20 and the box body 10. The flexible connection belt 80 can be bent, and two ends of the flexible connection belt 80 are respectively disposed with fasteners 81. A side edge of the box cover 20 is disposed with a first lock hole 25 at a position adjacent to a rotation axis (that is, the shaft core 40) between the box cover 20 and the box body 10, and the side plate 12 of the box body 10 on the same side of the first lock hole 25 is disposed with a second lock hole 129 at a position adjacent to the rotation axis. The fasteners 81 of the two ends of the flexible connection belt 80 are respectively disposed in the first lock hole 25 and the second lock hole 129. After the box cover 20 is opened, the flexible connection belt 80 is straightened, and connecting lines of three points projected on a plane by the first lock hole 25, the second lock hole 129, and the rotation axis define an obtuse triangle. That is, a length of the flexible connection belt 80 enables the box cover 20 to be turned more than 90 degrees, but not more than 180 degrees. Therefore, after the box cover 20 is opened, the box cover 20 can be stably maintained in the open position due to its own weight and a pulling force of the flexible connection belt 80.
