Abstract

A lid structure includes a frame body and a lid plate. The frame body includes a window, an opening, and a guiding groove. The frame body is configured to allow the lid plate to be inserted into or pulled out from the guiding groove through the opening. The window is covered by the lid plate in a state in which the lid plate is inserted in the guiding groove.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 .- 17 . (canceled) 
     
     
         18 . A lid structure comprising:
 a frame body including a window, an opening, and a guiding groove; and   a lid plate;   wherein the frame body is configured to allow the lid plate to be inserted into or pulled out from the guiding groove through the opening, the window being covered by the lid plate in a state in which the lid plate is inserted in the guiding groove.   
     
     
         19 . The lid structure according to  claim 18 , wherein the frame body includes a U-shaped frame structure, the opening being formed at an opening of the U-shaped frame structure, and the guiding groove being formed on an inner side of the U-shaped frame structure. 
     
     
         20 . The lid structure according to  claim 19 , wherein the guiding groove circumferentially extends along an inner side of the frame body to form a U-shaped groove structure, a peripheral edge of the lid plate being adapted to cooperate with the U-shaped groove structure. 
     
     
         21 . The lid structure according to  claim 20 , wherein a depth of at least a portion of the U-shaped groove structure is less than or equal to a thickness of the peripheral edge of the lid plate. 
     
     
         22 . The lid structure according to  claim 20 , wherein an opening width of at least a portion of the U-shaped groove structure is less than or equal to a width of the peripheral edge of the lid plate. 
     
     
         23 . The lid structure according to  claim 19 , wherein at least a portion of the frame body is made of a plastic material to allow the opening to be enlarged from a first position to a second position under an action of an external force. 
     
     
         24 . The lid structure according to  claim 18 , further comprising:
 a stop perpendicular to the guiding groove and extending toward the window along a width direction of the guiding groove;   wherein the lid plate is at least partially in contact with the stop in the width direction of the guiding groove in the state in which the lid plate is inserted in the guiding groove.   
     
     
         25 . The lid structure according to  claim 24 , wherein the stop and the frame body are formed in one piece. 
     
     
         26 . The lid structure according to  claim 18 , wherein the frame body includes a first abutment member and a second abutment member connected to each other, the first abutment member abutting against the lid plate on a lower side of the lid plate, the second abutment member abutting against the lid plate on an upper side of the lid plate, and a width of the first abutment member being greater than a width of the second abutment member. 
     
     
         27 . The lid structure according to  claim 18 , further comprising:
 a reinforcement assembly connected to a side of the frame body away from the guiding groove, the reinforcement assembly extending along a circumferential direction of the window.   
     
     
         28 . The lid structure according to  claim 18 , wherein the lid plate is made of a transparent material, and the frame body is made of an opaque material. 
     
     
         29 . An assembling method applied to the lid structure according to  claim 18 , comprising:
 applying an external force to the frame body to enlarge the opening;   inserting the lid plate into the guiding groove through the opening which is enlarged; and   responsive to determining that the lid plate is moved to a predetermined position on the frame body, stopping applying the external force to the frame body.   
     
     
         30 . A disassembling method applied to the lid structure according to  claim 18 , comprising:
 applying an external force to the frame body to enlarge the opening; and   pulling the lid plate out from the guiding groove through the opening which is enlarged.   
     
     
         31 . An electrical device comprising:
 an electrical device body; and   a lid structure including:
 a frame body including a window, an opening, and a guiding groove, the frame body being pivotally connected to the electrical device body; and 
 a lid plate; 
 wherein the frame body is configured to allow the lid plate to be inserted into or pulled out from the guiding groove through the opening, the window being covered by the lid plate in a state in which the lid plate is inserted in the guiding groove. 
   
     
     
         32 . The electrical device according to  claim 31 , further comprising:
 a first stop connected with the electrical device body;   wherein:
 the frame body is provided with a second stop; and 
 the first stop abuts against a side of the second stop away from the window. 
   
     
     
         33 . The electrical device according to  claim 32 , wherein:
 the second stop is one of two second stops each provided on one of two opposite sides of the window; and   the first stop is one of two first stops each corresponding to one of the two second stops.   
     
     
         34 . The electrical device according to  claim 32 , wherein the second stops is pivotally connected to the electrical device body.
