The first snap hole 22 communicates with the installation cavity 21. The decorative piece 3 is provided with at least one second snap hole 321. The decorative piece 3 is snapped into the installation cavity 21 so that the second snap hole 321 corresponds to the first snap hole 22. The fastener 4 is provided with at least one snap body 41. The snap body 41 passes through the first snap hole 22 and snaps into the second snap hole 321 so that the decorative piece 3 is fixed on the cavity wall of the installation cavity 21.

[0028] First, the decorative part 3 is snapped into the installation cavity 21 so that the second snap hole 321 corresponds to the first snap hole 22. Then, the snap body 41 on the fastener 4 is passed through the first snap hole 22 and snapped into the second snap hole 321, thereby realizing the installation of the filter cover 6.

[0029] The snap body 41 passes through the first snap hole 22 and snaps into the second snap hole 321, connecting the handle 2, the decorative part 3 and the fastener 4 together. During subsequent use, even if there is vibration, the decorative part 3 is not easily shaken out. Therefore, the decorative part 3 can be made of plastic material, solving the problem that ordinary plastic decorative parts in the prior art are easily shaken out after being installed, and the cost of using flexible materials for the decorative part 3 is relatively high.

[0030] Specifically, the first snap hole 22 is rectangular, and the second snap hole 321 is rectangular. In this embodiment, the rectangular areas of the first snap hole 22 and the second snap hole 321 are the same.
