A nut and shell assembly includes a shell and an inset nut structure. The shell has an inner surface that defines an inner shell space and a through hole to communicate the inner shell space with the outside. The insert nut structure includes an insert nut fixed in the through hole, and an elastic seal sleeved on the insert nut and in substantially tight contact with the shell in the through hole. The insert nut includes a columnar body fixed in the through hole, and a flange connected to one end of the columnar body. The flange has an outer diameter greater than that of the columnar body, and abuts against the inner surface of the shell.
