The upper plastic 2 and the lower plastic 3 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the aluminum plate 1. The lead 5 is provided on the side of the lower plastic 3 away from the aluminum plate 1. The terminal post 4 is provided on the upper plastic 2 and passes through the upper plastic 2, the lower plastic 3, and the lead 5. A first through hole 51 for the terminal post 4 to pass through is provided on the lead 5, and a welding groove 52 is provided on the lead 5. The first through hole 51 is provided inside the welding groove 52, and the end of the terminal post 4 is located inside the welding groove 52.

[0036] In practice, the electrode post 4 passes directly through the upper plastic 2, the aluminum plate 1, the lower plastic 3, and the pin 5. At this point, the end of the electrode post 4 is located inside the welding groove 52. The end of the electrode post 4 is then pressed into the welding groove 52 using a press-fitting method. Laser welding is then used to complete the welding connection between the electrode post 4 and the pin 5. Because the electrode post 4 passes directly through the upper plastic 2, the aluminum plate 1, the lower plastic 3, and the pin 5 and is then fixed by laser welding, the manufacturing process is simplified, and the number of structural parts is reduced, significantly lowering the manufacturing cost of the top cover. Simultaneously, by pressing the end of the electrode post 4 into the welding groove 52, the end of the electrode post 4 is effectively prevented from detaching from the pin 5, increasing the stability of the welding connection between the electrode post 4 and the pin 5 and facilitating use.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the pole post 4 includes an upper connecting part 41 and a lower insertion part 42.
