Specifically, the upper insulator 130 includes an upper insulator body 134 and an extension 135 connected to the upper insulator body 134. The upper insulator body portion 134 is configured in an annular shape. The extension portion 135 is configured to extend inward from an inner peripheral edge of the upper insulator main body portion 134, and the stopper portion 131 is provided to the extension portion 135.

In one embodiment, not shown, the stiffener is attached to the liner.

The reinforcement 170 is correspondingly provided with a matching portion 171, and the shape of the matching portion 171 is matched with the shape of the limiting portion 131 and is abutted against the limiting portion 131, so that the reinforcement 170 tightly presses the limiting portion 131, and deformation of the limiting portion 131 under the action of elastic force of the long arm end 161 is avoided, and therefore strength of the long arm end 161 is improved. In this embodiment, the lid assembly 102 includes two torsion springs 160, which can make the force applied to the lid assembly 102 by the torsion springs 160 symmetrical, thereby facilitating smooth opening of the lid assembly 102. The upper heat insulator 130 is provided with two stopper portions 131, and the reinforcement 170 is correspondingly provided with two engaging portions 171.
