The anti-compression ring 5 limits and fixes the spring 6 to prevent the spring 6 from loosening during the force application process. The spring 6 is arranged on the inner surface of the anti-compression ring 5, and four groups of springs 6 are arranged on the inner surface of the anti-compression ring 5 in an equidistant manner. One end of the opposite surface of the spring 6 abuts against the outer surface of the limiting tube 4. The function of the spring 6 is to provide additional support and stability to prevent the limiting tube 4 from excessive deformation or rupture when subjected to external pressure. The setting of the spring 6 can absorb part of the pressure when the limiting tube 4 is squeezed, thereby reducing the impact on other components.
