The insert plate 6 is inserted into the connecting plate 3. Then, the reinforcing bolt 11 is passed through the insertion hole 5 and rotated to connect to the top of the insert plate 6. The reinforcing bolt 11 is continuously rotated, so that the bottom end of the reinforcing bolt 11 presses against the locking plate 8 inside the insert plate 6, thereby causing the locking plate 8 to unfold to both sides and insert into the slot 4, completing the fixed installation of the cover 1. After the cover 1 is installed, the rubber column 202 is... The rubber post 202 and the sealing cap 201 are integrally molded and connected to the inner wall of the insertion hole 5, ensuring a tight fit. The sealing cap 201 and the shell cover 1 not only complement each other in function, but also maintain consistency in material and color to achieve visual unity. The protrusion 203 on the outer wall of the rubber post 202 can increase the adhesion to the inner wall of the insertion hole 5, thereby improving the sealing effect. The design of the angled groove 204 makes it more convenient to remove the rubber post 202 later.
