[0027] A cavity 20 is formed in the lower end of the cover plate 1, and a plurality of grid-shaped reinforcing strips 21 are integrally formed on the inner wall of the cavity 20, the grid-shaped reinforcing strips 21 provide high strength / weight ratio, and can significantly enhance the overall bending resistance and rigidity of the cover plate 1. The grid-shaped reinforcing strips 21 disperse stress by geometric distribution, so that the force can be more evenly distributed to the ribs and the surrounding area when the cover plate 1 is subjected to external force (such as impact, compression or bending). This design provides similar or higher structural strength without increasing or reducing weight, especially when subjected to local pressure or vibration. At the same time, the grid-shaped reinforcing strips 21 can disperse impact force to a larger area or multiple nodes, thereby reducing damage caused by stress concentration in a certain area. A bottom plate 17 is further arranged in the cavity 20, and one side of the bottom plate 17 is attached to one side of the grid-shaped reinforcing strips 21. The bottom plate 17 is used to avoid direct contact between the grid-shaped reinforcing strips 21 and the lower plastic 6. An avoidance groove 18 is formed in the inside of the bottom plate 17.
