[0046] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the depression 14 of the step 12 is a chord formed by connecting two points on the outer edge of the step 12, and the angle formed by the two radii when the two ends of the chord connect with the center of the circle is 15-40 degrees. Further, the shape and size of the protrusion 23 are adapted to the depression 14.

[0047] Furthermore, the above-mentioned recesses 14 and protrusions 23 can be arranged asymmetrically in multiple numbers to prevent the error of reverse positioning caused by the symmetrical arrangement. Specifically, the number of the recesses 14 and the corresponding protrusions 23 is 2 to 5, preferably 2.

[0048] During installation, the adhesive layer 3 is covered on the step 12 and then the protrusion 23 of the shell 2 is aligned with the recess 14 to be snapped and pressed. Since the positioning structure is provided, the deviation of the cover plate 1 during assembly is prevented, so that the combination of the cover plate 1 and the shell 2 can be completed quickly and accurately.
