The end cover 10 comprises a body 100 and a joint part 200 that axially extends away from an edge of the body 100. The knurl configuration is defined on the outer surface of the circumferential side wall of the joint part 200.
The knurl configuration comprises several first grooves 11, the first grooves 11 extend from the body 100 towards one end of the joint part 200 and form a first preset angle with respect to the axis of the joint part 200. The several first grooves 11 form a straight knurl configuration or a twill knurl configuration. The first preset angle is an angle between the central axis of the joint part 200 and the projection that a first groove 11 is projected on to any surface that comprises the central axis of the joint part 200.
In the embodiment, the first groove 11 is a curved groove or a rectangular groove. The distances between any two adjacent first grooves 11 are equal or not. The distance between two adjacent first grooves 11 and the maximum width of the cross-section of the first groove 11 can be designed according to practical conditions. The depth of the first groove may range from 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm. Limited by the size of the end cover, the distances between any two adjacent first grooves 11 are not too small. But if the distances are too large, the anti-sliding effect will be reduced. Therefore, based on the size of the end cover, the amount of the first grooves 11 may preferably range from 20 to 100.
In the first embodiment, the first grooves 11 are curved grooves, and preferably a straight knurl configuration is adopted, namely the first preset angle is 0 degree. The widths of the first grooves 11 may preferably be 0.2 mm. Considering the uniformity of the stress and the beauty of the appearance, the distances between any two adjacent first grooves 11 are equal, and the distance between two adjacent first grooves 11 is equal to the maximum width of the cross-section of the first groove 11. Preferably, the amount of the first grooves 11 is 40.
Referring to

The several first grooves 11 and second grooves 12 are intersected to form a netlike knurl configuration. The first preset angle is an angle between the central axis of the joint part 200 and the projection that a first groove 11 is projected on to any surface that comprises the central axis of the joint part 200, and the second preset angle is an angle between the projection that the first groove 11 is projected on above surface and the projection that a corresponding second groove 12 is projected on to above surface.

In this way, the manufacturing process can be reduced, and the protruding area formed from the netlike grooves can be ensured to afford enough friction. Preferably, the amount of the first grooves 11 is 80.
