## Abstract

A light steel connecting structure for a housing includes a supporting plate fixed to a cross beam and integrally connected to one end of a supporting block and a fixed plate. The other end of the supporting block extends in a direction distant from the supporting plate and is inclined in a vertical direction. A fixed hole is formed in the fixed plate and includes two opposite inclined surfaces forming an accommodating groove abutting against the supporting plate and receiving the supporting block. When the connecting structure is mounted, the supporting block passes the fixed hole, and presses the supporting plate, so that a friction force is generated between the supporting plate and the fixed plate to prevent them from loosing, and hence the stand column and the cross beam.
