The adapter shell, used for providing a circuit board, comprises: a first shell, a second shell and a sliding plate. The first shell comprises a first bottom plate and a first annular lateral plate. The second shell comprises a second bottom plate and a second annular lateral plate. The sliding plate is movably connected to the second bottom plate, and the sliding plate and the second annular lateral plate are respectively positioned on two sides of the second bottom plate. The first annular lateral plate and the second annular lateral plate are detachably connected to each other in a sleeved manner to form a placing cavity for providing the circuit board. A plate face of the second bottom plate is provided with a communication hole in communication with the placing cavity and used for taking and placing parts, and the sliding plate detachably covers a hole opening of the communication hole. According to the present application, the parts in the placing cavity can be cleaned and maintained via the communication hole after the sliding plate is opened. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An adapter shell, used for providing a circuit board, the adapter shell comprises: a first shell, comprising a first bottom plate and a first annular lateral plate connected to the first bottom plate; a second shell, comprising a second bottom plate and a second annular lateral plate connected to the second bottom plate; and a sliding plate movably connected to the second bottom plate, the sliding plate and the second annular lateral plate being respectively positioned on two sides of the second bottom plate; wherein the first annular lateral plate and the second annular lateral plate are detachably connected to each other in a sleeved manner, the first annular lateral plate and the second annular lateral plate are positioned between the first bottom plate and the second bottom plate to form a placing cavity for providing the circuit board; and a plate face of the second bottom plate is provided with a communication hole in communication with the placing cavity and used for taking and placing parts, and the sliding plate detachably covers a hole opening of the communication hole. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The adapter shell of claim 1, wherein the adapter shell further comprises a buckle structure, and the buckle structure detachably connects the first annular lateral plate and the second annular lateral plate. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The adapter shell of claim 2, wherein the buckle structure comprises a plurality of female buckles provided on an inner lateral wall of the first annular lateral plate and a plurality of male buckles provided on an outer lateral wall of the second annular lateral plate in a protruding manner, wherein the male buckles are adapted to and in snap connection, on a one-to-one basis, to the female buckles. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The adapter shell of claim 1, wherein the plate face of the second bottom plate is provided with a placing groove, the hole opening of the communication hole is positioned at a groove bottom of the placing groove, and the sliding plate is provided in the placing groove and can slide in a reciprocating manner in an extension direction of the placing groove so as to open or close the communication hole. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The adapter shell of claim 4, wherein groove walls on two sides of the placing groove are provided with a sliding groove, an extension direction of the sliding groove is the same as the extension direction of the placing groove, the sliding plate comprises a plate body and two sliding blocks provided on two sides of the plate body in a protruding manner, and the sliding blocks are slidably connected to the respective sliding grooves, respectively. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The adapter shell of claim 5, wherein groove bottoms of the sliding grooves are provided with positioning protrusion points in a protruding manner, and the sliding blocks are provided with positioning pockets adapted to the positioning protrusion points. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The adapter shell of claim 5, wherein the groove width of the sliding groove is less than the plate thickness of the plate body. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The adapter shell of claim 5, wherein an outwardly provided plate face of the plate body is flush with an outwardly provided plate face of the second bottom plate. ### Claim 9 (depends on 5) The adapter shell of claim 5, wherein the plate body is provided with a shift block part used for shifting the plate body. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The adapter shell of claim 1, wherein the first bottom plate and the second annular lateral plate enclose and form a first accommodating cavity, a cavity opening of the first accommodating cavity is provided with a limiting annular groove, and circumferential plate edges of the second bottom plate abut against the groove bottom of the limiting annular groove towards the top. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The adapter shell of claim 1, wherein the first annular lateral plate is provided with a charging interface for plugging of an external power supply. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The adapter shell of claim 11, wherein the first annular lateral plate is further provided with a high-definition multimedia interface for plugging of an external display device, and the high-definition multimedia interface and the charging interface are positioned on the same side of the adapter shell. ### Claim 13 (depends on 13) The adapter shell of claim 13, wherein the first annular lateral plate is further provided with a plurality of USB interfaces for plugging of an external flash memory device, and the USB interfaces are positioned between the charging interface and the high-definition multimedia interface. ### Claim 14 An adapter, comprising: an adapter shell comprising: a first shell, comprising a first bottom plate and a first annular lateral plate connected to the first bottom plate;
