[0032] A reinforcing portion is arranged at the other side of the cover body 100.
[0033] By integrating the positioning pin 120 with the cover 100, the risk of falling caused by traditional stamping installation is eliminated.

[0044] The positioning pin 120 is a hollow cylindrical structure with a wall thickness A satisfying 1mm ≤ A ≤ 1.5mm. This design not only reduces weight and optimizes material use, but also enhances heat dissipation performance while maintaining sufficient mechanical strength. In addition, the positioning pin 120 is provided with a positioning groove 170 extending along its axial direction, which extends from the boss part 110 side to the reinforcing part direction, and the bottom of the positioning groove 170 forms an oil sealing ring 180.
