The front cover 101 and the rear cover 102 are connected by a pressing mechanism 7, and the fixing mechanism includes a connecting member 4, and the connecting member 4 is configured to be a disc with a notch 403. When the case 1 is rotated so that the notch 403 corresponds to the pressing mechanism 7, the pressing mechanism 7 is unlocked; when the notch 403 leaves from the pressing mechanism 7, the disc is inserted into the pressing mechanism 7, and the pressing mechanism 7 is locked.

In use, the connecting member 4 is fixed, the case 1 is rotated, and the pressing mechanism 7 rotates relative to the disc of the connecting member 4;

When the pressing mechanism 7 encounters the notch 403 on the disc, the locking is released and the pressing mechanism 7 can be opened, thereby opening the front cover 101 and the rear cover 102,

When the notch 403 leaves from the pressing mechanism 7, the pressing mechanism 7 is blocked by the disc, the pressing mechanism 7 is locked, and the front cover 101 and the rear cover 102 cannot be opened. The present disclosure utilizes the rotating of the case 1 to lock or unlock the pressing mechanism 7, and is convenient to use.

The pressing mechanism 7 includes a push switch 702, a locking member 701, and a locking slot 707. when the notch 403 corresponds to the pressing mechanism 7, the push switch 702 presses the locking member 701, and the locking member 701 moves along the locking slot 707 to unlock; when the notch 403 leaves from the pressing mechanism 7, the disc blocks the locking slot 707 and restricts a displacement of the locking member 701, thereby completing the locking,

The locking member 701 is generally provided as a reset locking pin of which an outside is wrapped with a spring for reciprocating movement of the locking member 701 within the locking slot 707. When the locking member 701 is fully extended, the push switch 702 is unlocked. When the locking member 701 cannot be displaced, the push switch 702 is locked.

The push switch is a common push switch in the market, which includes a throughput member 704, a hook 705 and a body 706. After being pressed by the push switch 702, the throughput member 704 is connected with the hook 705 for locking. The body 706 is provided with a locking member. When the locking member 701 is blocked by the locking slot 707 and cannot be displaced, the throughput member 704 is pressed against, cannot be moved or can slightly displace to realize the locking. In the unlocked state, the locking member 701 can follow the displacement of the push switch 702, and then the throughput member 704 can move to realize the locking.

When the case 1 is rotated so that the pressing mechanism 7 corresponds to the notch 403 of the disc, the case 1 is in an initial position; and when the case 1 is in the initial position, a lower portion of the front cover 101 is hinged with a lower portion of the rear cover 102, and upper portions are fixed by the pressing mechanism 7.

The disc includes a disc body and the notch 403 which is cut out from the disc in a tangential direction, the notch 403 has a height greater than that of the locking slot 707.

A slope 404 is provided at a position where the disc body is connected with the notch 403, and the slope 404 has a disc center inclined toward the connection of the notch 403. The slope 404 is formed by cutting a disc, and its end portion forms an inclined surface, which becomes thinner from the center of a circle, so that the inserting of the pressing mechanism can be easily realized, and the disc can be easily moved in the locking slot 707 when the case is rotated, and it is not easy to get stuck.
