The front part of the assembly 20 can be gradually brought closer to the lid body 10. Since the position limiting member 24 does not come into contact with the edge of the mounting groove 11 at the first position, the lid plate assembly 20 can rotate smoothly without being stopped. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the position limiting member 24 can move into the mounting groove 11 as the lid plate assembly 20 rotates. When the lid plate assembly 20 rotates to a predetermined position, the position limiting member 24 is mounted. It can completely enter the groove 11. In order to fix the lid plate assembly 20, the lid plate 21 may be engaged and connected to the lid body 10.

If the steam valve lid 23 is forgotten to be attached, the position limiting member 24 comes into contact with the positioning member 26 under the action of the torsion spring and is located at a position substantially parallel to the lid plate 21. For example, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 13, when the lid plate assembly 20 rotates at a specific angle after the rear end of the lid plate assembly 20 abuts in the mounting groove 11, the position limiting member 24 is placed in the mounting groove 11. In this case, the lid plate assembly 20 did not continue to rotate and could not be placed in place, and the operator noticed that the steam valve lid 23 was not attached. Achieves a function to prevent forgetting to install.
