Alternatively, an L-shaped groove can be provided around the outer top surface of the top cover body 201, and the opening of the outer shell 1 can be bent inward to form a bent portion 101. The bent portion 101 is provided on the L-shaped groove and welded to the top cover body 201. Thus, during welding, the top cover body 201 supports the bent portion 101 of the main outer shell 1, which facilitates welding and effectively ensures the quality of welding.

[0026] The upper cover body 201 has mounting holes. The negative lead-out terminal 203 passes through the mounting holes, with one end located outside the outer shell 1 and the other end connected to the negative busbar connection plate 204 inside the outer shell 1.
