[0033] Combine Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, a cover plate 2 for sealing a rear power take-off port includes a nylon cover plate body. In this embodiment, the cover plate body is preferably made of PA66 material, which reduces the cost of plastic molds. The nylon cover plate body is lightweight, allowing operators to easily support the assembly with one hand while holding the other, resulting in efficient assembly and reduced labor costs. The cover plate body is made of nylon and contains glass fiber, which provides high-temperature resistance, wear resistance, and excellent mechanical properties. The nylon cover plate body is aesthetically pleasing.

[0034] The cover body is provided with a through hole for passing the bolt 5 . The cover body has a first side 21 and a second side 22 . The first side 21 is provided with a sealing protrusion 24 .

[0035] Preferably, a mounting protrusion 25 is further provided on the free side of the sealing protrusion 24 , and the outer diameter of the mounting protrusion 25 is smaller than the outer diameter of the sealing protrusion 24 .

[0036] More preferably, a bushing 23 is provided in the through hole, and the bushing 23 has an interference fit with the through hole. The bushing 23 is further preferably made of carbon steel.
