The fixing frame 22 is located below the first manhole cover 100. The torsion spring assembly 20 is sleeved on the fixing main shaft 23 and is detachably assembled to the fixing frame 22 as a whole. With this arrangement, the torsion spring assembly 20 is sleeved on the fixing main shaft 23 and detachably assembled to the fixing frame 22 as a whole, which facilitates the replacement or maintenance of the torsion spring assembly 20 and reduces the replacement or maintenance costs. One end of the first support arm 121 is connected to the rotating shaft 24. When the second manhole cover 101 is opened relative to the shaft 11, the second manhole cover 101 drives the first support arm 121 to rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 24. With this arrangement, a supporting force can be provided when the second manhole cover 101 is opened. A buffering force can be provided when the second manhole cover 101 is closed.

[0061] exist Figures 3 to 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the fixed frame 22 includes two first frames 223 extending along a first direction X1 and two second frames 224 extending along a second direction X2. The first direction X1 and the second direction X2 intersect and are perpendicular to each other. The fixed main shaft 23 and the rotating shaft 24 both extend along the first direction X1 and are assembled between the two second frames 224. The fixed main shaft 23 and the rotating shaft 24 are spaced apart in the second direction X2. The two first frames 223 and the two second frames 224 are interconnected to form a frame structure that is connected from top to bottom. The fixed main shaft 23 can be assembled from the top of the fixed frame 22, and the rotating shaft 24 can be assembled from the bottom of the fixed frame 22.

[0062] exist Figures 3 to 5In the illustrated embodiment, the torsion spring assembly 20 includes a torsion spring body 200 and a first adjustment end 201 and a second adjustment end 202 connected to both ends of the torsion spring body 200. The torsion spring body 200 and the first adjustment end 201 and the second adjustment end 202 are an integral structure, wherein the first adjustment end 201 and the second adjustment end 202 extend from the top to the bottom from both ends of the torsion spring body 200. In some embodiments, the number of torsion spring assemblies 20 can be set to one or more. In this embodiment, the number of torsion spring assemblies 20 is set to three groups. The first adjustment ends 201 at both ends of the torsion spring body 200 of the three groups of torsion spring assemblies 20 are downward and extend in the direction of the rotation axis 24. The first adjustment ends 201 of the torsion spring assemblies 20 on both sides are set at one end close to the first frame 223, and there is no restriction on the position of the first adjustment end 201 of the torsion spring assembly 20 in the middle.

[0063] exist Figure 2 、 Figures 4 to 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the assist mechanism 2 further includes an adjustment assembly 21, which is assembled to the bottom of the fixed frame 22 and positioned within the shaft 11. The adjustment assembly 21 is disposed at the bottom of the torsion spring assembly 20 and the fixed spindle 23. The adjustment assembly 21 includes a stopper 210 and an adjustment member 211 connected to the stopper 210. The stopper 210 is configured to be positionally coupled to the torsion spring assembly 20. The adjustment member 211 is configured to adjust the preload of the torsion spring assembly 20. In this embodiment, the first adjustment end 201 extends downward into the shaft 11 and abuts the rotating shaft 24. The second adjustment end 202 extends downward into the shaft 11 and engages with the stopper 210. The adjustment member 211 drives the stopper 210, causing it to move, thereby causing the second adjustment end 202 to rotate about the fixed spindle 23 and toward the torsion spring body 200, thereby tightening the preload of the torsion spring assembly 20. By adjusting the adjusting member 211, the limiting member 210 is driven to move, causing the limiting member 210 to rotate, which in turn causes the second adjusting end 202 to rotate about the fixed main shaft 23 and toward the torsion spring body 200, thereby tightening the preload of the torsion spring assembly 20. This tightens the torsion spring force of the torsion spring assembly 20 and extends the service life of the torsion spring assembly 20. Furthermore, this provides support for workers opening and closing the second manhole cover 101, improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the second manhole cover 101 can be closed slowly, providing a cushion for the concrete surrounding the manhole cover 10.

[0064] exist Figures 4 to 6In the illustrated embodiment, one end of the retaining member 210 abuts against the first frame 223. A first threaded hole 225 is provided through the first frame 223 near the second adjustment end 202, and the retaining member 210 is provided with a second threaded hole (not shown) along the second direction X2. The adjustment member 211 includes a screw 213. One end of the screw 213 passes through the first threaded hole 225 and connects to the second threaded hole, threadedly connected to the retaining member 210. The other end of the screw 213 is free for adjustment. In this embodiment, the adjustment screw 213 rotates about the axial direction of the screw 213, driving the retaining member 210 to move along the axial direction of the screw 213, thereby driving the second adjustment end 202 to rotate about the fixed spindle 23 and toward the torsion spring body 200, thereby tightening the preload of the torsion spring assembly 20. In this embodiment, the axial direction of the screw 213 extends along the second direction X2. With this arrangement, by adjusting the screw 213, the rotational motion of the screw 213 about its axis is converted into linear motion of the stopper 210 along the axis of the screw 213, thereby driving the second adjustment end 202 to rotate toward the torsion spring body 200 to tighten the torsion spring force. The small number of components and simple adjustment method make the entire structure compact and small in size.

[0065] exist Figures 4 to 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the limiting member 210 includes a through hole 214, and the second adjustment end 202 is inserted into the through hole 214 from top to bottom. The second adjustment end 202 is connected to the axial hole of the limiting member 210, which facilitates disassembly or assembly on the one hand and adjustment on the other hand. The limiting member 210 is provided with a through guide opening 215. The adjustment assembly 21 includes a guide column 212, which is inserted into the guide opening 215 and connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 22. The guide opening 215 is set away from the bottom of the fixed frame 22 to fix the adjusting member 211 to the fixed frame 22. The guide column 212 is used to limit the position of the screw 213. When the torsion spring assembly 20 becomes fatigued, the screw 213 is adjusted with a hexagonal wrench, driving the limiter 210 to move along the axial direction X1 of the screw 213 away from the second manhole cover 101, thereby driving the second adjustment end 202 to rotate about the fixed main axis 23 and toward the torsion spring body 200 until the purpose of adjusting the auxiliary force is achieved. This prevents the auxiliary force effect from being degraded due to fatigue caused by the long-term stress on the torsion spring assembly 20. When the torsion spring assembly 20 fails, the torsion spring assembly 20 can be replaced and adjusted according to the above method to tighten the preload of the torsion spring assembly 20.

[0066] exist Figure 2 and Figure 4In the embodiment, the fixed frame 22 includes a pre-tightening member 220, which is arranged on the inner side of the fixed frame 22 and is arranged closer to the fixed main shaft 23 relative to the rotating shaft 24 in the radial direction of the fixed main shaft 23. The extension direction of the pre-tightening member 220 is the same as that of the first frame 223. The first adjustment end 201 extends downward into the wellbore 11, and the first adjustment end 201 is located at the bottom of the pre-tightening member 220 and abuts against the pre-tightening member 220, so that the first adjustment end 201 is located below the rotating shaft 24 and abuts against the rotating shaft 24 at the same time. In this arrangement, the pre-tightening member 220 can pre-limit the first adjustment end 201. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the rotating shaft 24 includes a plurality of rotating members 240 and a sleeve 241. The plurality of rotating members 240 are interconnected via the sleeve 241 and connected to the shaft hole of the first support arm 121. The sleeve 241 and the plurality of rotating members 240 are connected via a limit screw 242. This arrangement facilitates disassembly. The torsion spring body 200 provides support by abutting the rotating shaft 24 via the first adjustment end 201. When disassembling the torsion spring assembly 20 of the power assist mechanism 2, it is necessary to remove the preload member 220 and the sleeve 241 of the rotating shaft 24 and the plurality of rotating members 240 to relieve the force from the first adjustment end 201. When installing the torsion spring assembly 20 of the power assist mechanism 2, it is necessary to install the preload member 220 and abut against the first adjustment end 201 before installing the rotating shaft 24. This can enhance the reliability and tightness of the connection and prevent the first adjustment end 201 from directly abutting against the rotating shaft 24 and causing relative sliding.

[0067] In some embodiments, the number of torsion spring assemblies 20 is multiple. Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the fixing assembly 13 also includes a fixing plate 25, which is assembled on the fixing frame 22 and is located between two adjacent torsion spring assemblies 20. The fixing plate 25 is a plate-shaped structure and extends along the second direction X2. A plurality of fixing plates 25 are evenly spaced along the first direction X1. The fixing plate 25 is provided with a limiting groove 250 upward, and the torsion spring assembly 20 is assembled on the fixed main shaft 23 and is detachably assembled in the limiting groove 250 as a whole. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 25 is inserted between the two first frames 223 of the fixing frame 22, and is used to fix the plurality of torsion spring assemblies 20 and the fixed main shaft 23 to the fixing frame 22. The fixing plate 25 is used to limit the displacement of the torsion spring assembly 20 in the first direction X1. In this embodiment, the adjustment assembly 21 is fixed to the side of the fixed plate 25 facing the wellbore 11, and the adjustment member 211 is arranged closer to the second manhole cover 101 in the radial direction of the fixed main shaft 23 relative to the limiting member 210. This arrangement makes it easier for operators to adjust, replace or maintain in the wellbore 11.

[0068] exist Figures 3 to 6In the illustrated embodiment, the fixing assembly 13 further includes a partition 26, which is assembled into a retaining groove 250 of the fixing plate 25. The partition 26 retains the fixing spindle 23 within the retaining groove 250, thereby separating the torsion spring assembly 20. The partition 26 serves to secure the torsion spring assembly 20. The partition 26 is removably assembled into the retaining groove 250, facilitating removal or replacement of the torsion spring assembly 20.

[0069] exist Figures 3 to 6 In the illustrated embodiment, a notch is provided at the edge of the partition 26, and the partition 26 is inserted into the limiting groove 250. A positioning groove 260 is formed between the edge of the partition 26 and the side wall of the limiting groove 250. Positioning grooves 260 are provided on both sides of the fixed frame 22. A limiting block is provided on the side of the first manhole cover 100 facing the shaft 11 (located on the lower surface of the first manhole cover 100, not shown). When the first manhole cover 100 is covered on the shaft 11, the limiting block cooperates with the positioning groove 260 in the upper and lower directions to limit the power assist mechanism 2 within the shaft 11. The limiting block provided on the lower surface of the first manhole cover 100, the limiting groove 250 and the positioning groove 260 limit the detachable partition 26 in the upper and lower directions, and at the same time prevents the fixed spindle 23 from moving in the upper and lower directions on the fixed frame 22. On the one hand, it is convenient to disassemble, and on the other hand, the fixation is simple, stable and reliable. In this embodiment, the sidewalls of the partition plate 26 are provided with a retaining groove (not shown) extending downward from top to bottom, and the sidewalls of the retaining groove 250 are provided with a retaining protrusion (not shown) extending downward from top to bottom and matching the retaining groove 250. The partition plate 26 is assembled with the retaining groove 250 of the fixing plate 25 through the retaining cooperation between the retaining protrusion and the retaining groove. This arrangement provides a simple structure and a better fixing effect.

[0070] exist Figures 4 to 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the stopper 210 in the adjustment assembly 21 is fixed to the side of the fixed plate 25 facing the shaft 11. A sliding groove 216 is defined on the side of the stopper 210 facing the fixed plate 25. The sliding groove 216 extends along the second direction X2 and is engaged with the fixed plate 25. The sliding groove 216 includes a bottom wall 217 and a first inner sidewall 218 and a second inner sidewall 219 disposed therein. The two sidewalls of the fixed plate 25 are sandwiched between the first inner sidewall 218 and the second inner sidewall 219, and the bottom of the fixed plate 25 is in contact with the bottom wall 217. This arrangement allows the stopper 210 to be slidably assembled with the fixed plate 25 via the sliding groove 216. When an operator adjusts the screw 213, the stopper 210 moves along the sliding groove 216 away from the second manhole cover 101, thereby driving the second adjustment end 202 to rotate about the fixed spindle 23 and toward the torsion spring body 200 until the adjustment assist is achieved. This simple and reliable method provides a reliable and convenient solution.

[0071] exist Figure 2In the embodiment shown, the fixed main shaft 23 deviates from the central area of the second frame 224 and is arranged on one side close to the limit member 210 in the second direction X2. The length of the first adjustment end 201 is greater than the length of the second adjustment end 202. The rotating shaft 24 abuts against the end of the first adjustment end 201 away from the limit member 210, and the opening and closing of the second manhole cover 101 drives the first adjustment end 201 to rotate at a larger angle. Such an arrangement can provide greater assistance for opening the second manhole cover 101. Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the fixed spindle 23 includes a spindle fixing portion 230 and spindle connecting portions 231 disposed at both ends of the spindle fixing portion 230. The spring assembly is sleeved on the spindle fixing portion 230, and the cross-sectional area of the spindle connecting portion 231 is smaller than that of the spindle fixing portion 230. The spindle fixing portion 230 is primarily used to mount the torsion spring assembly 20, and the spindle fixing portion 230 is primarily used to be mounted on the second frame 224 of the fixed frame 22. The fixed frame 22 is provided with a first chute 221 extending downward from the top and a second chute 222 extending radially from the fixed spindle 23 toward the rotating shaft 24 on both sides. The second chute 222 is connected to the first chute 221. When the torsion spring assembly 20 is assembled on the spindle fixing portion 230, it is installed on the fixed frame 22 from the top to the bottom as a whole, along the first chute 221. It slides in the second chute 222 extending radially from the fixed spindle 23 toward the rotating shaft 24, so that the spindle connecting portion 231 is engaged with the second chute 222. When replacing the torsion spring assembly 20, the partition 26 above the spindle connecting portion 231 is first removed. The fixed spindle 23 and the torsion spring assembly 20 are then rotated and pushed out along the second chute 222 and removed from the bottom to the top along the first chute 221. After the new torsion spring assembly 20 is mounted on the fixed main shaft 23, the fixed main shaft 23 and the torsion spring assembly 20 are placed as a whole into the first slide groove 221 from top to bottom, and then pushed along the second slide groove 222 to the end away from the rotating shaft 24, ensuring that the first adjustment end 201 and the second adjustment end 202 of the torsion spring assembly 20 extend downward into the wellbore 11, and the partition 26 is placed to limit the main shaft connection part 231. The cross-sectional area of the main shaft fixing part 230 is adapted to the size of the first slide groove 221 and the second slide groove 222, and the cross-sectional area of the main shaft connection part 231 is set to be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the main shaft fixing part 230, so that the size of the first slide groove 221 and the second slide groove 222 can be made smaller, and the stability can be improved while ensuring that it can be installed. Figures 4 to 6 In the embodiment shown, the assist mechanism 2 further includes spring dampers 27, which are respectively arranged on the outside of both sides of the fixed frame 22. Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the spring dampers 27 are respectively provided on the outer sides of the second frame 224 . The spring dampers 27 are devices for absorbing inertia after the second manhole cover 101 is opened.

[0072] Combine Figures 1 to 7In the illustrated embodiment, when replacing the torsion spring assembly 20 of the assist mechanism 2, first, the second manhole cover 101 is opened using a lifting device or manually. The operator then descends the well and uses a hexagonal wrench to remove the stop screw 242 on the sleeve 241. The sleeve 241 and the plurality of rotating members 240 are then removed. The preload member 220 is then removed using a lever sleeve. The second manhole cover 101 is now free of force. The adjustable screw 213 is then adjusted using an adjustable wrench to loosen the torsion spring assembly 20. The adjustment assembly 21 is then removed as a whole along the sliding groove 216. The second manhole cover 101 is then repositioned using a lifting device or manually. After removing the plurality of screws securing the first manhole cover 100 using a socket wrench, the first manhole cover 100 is removed. The partition 26 above the main shaft connection portion 231 is then removed. The fixed main shaft 23 and the torsion spring assembly 20 are then rotated and pushed out along the second slide groove 222 and removed from the bottom up along the first slide groove 221. After the new torsion spring assembly 20 is mounted on the fixed main shaft 23, the fixed main shaft 23 and the torsion spring assembly 20 are placed as a whole from top to bottom into the first slide groove 221, and then pushed along the second slide groove 222 to the end away from the rotating shaft 24, ensuring that the first adjustment end 201 and the second adjustment end 202 of the torsion spring assembly 20 extend downward into the wellbore 11, and the partition 26 is placed to limit the main shaft connection part 231. Reset the first manhole cover 100 and fix the first manhole cover 100 with screws. Use lifting equipment or manual labor to open the second manhole cover 101, pass the second adjustment end 202 through the through hole 214 of the limiting member 210, and clip the adjustment assembly 21 as a whole to the fixed plate 25 along the sliding groove 216. Use a lever sleeve to install the preload member 220 to the inner side of the fixed frame 22 to limit the first adjustment end 201. Connect the rotating shaft 24 to the support arm assembly 12. Use an adjustable wrench to adjust the screw rod 213 to rotate about the axis of the screw rod 213 to drive the limiter 210 connected to the screw rod 213, causing the limiter 210 to move away from the second manhole cover 101. The movement of the limiter 210 drives the second adjustment end 202 to rotate about the fixed main shaft 23 and toward the torsion spring body 200 to tighten the preload of the torsion spring assembly 20, completing the replacement of the torsion spring assembly 20 of the power assist mechanism 2. This arrangement avoids the deterioration of the power assist effect caused by fatigue of the torsion spring assembly 20 due to long-term stress. When the torsion spring assembly 20 fails, the torsion spring assembly 20 can be replaced and adjusted according to the above method to tighten the preload of the torsion spring assembly 20.

Figure 9 yes Figure 1 The structure diagram of the second manhole cover 101 of the manhole cover assembly 9 shown in another perspective is when it is in an open state. Figure 10 yes Figure 1The structure diagram of the second manhole cover 101 of the manhole cover assembly 9 shown in the open state is shown from another perspective. Figure 11 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a structural diagram of the connection between the second manhole cover and the manhole cover locking mechanism of the manhole cover assembly. Figure 12 yes Figure 1 The structure diagram of an embodiment of the manhole cover locking mechanism 3 of the manhole cover assembly 9 is shown. Figure 13 yes Figure 1 The structure diagram of an embodiment of the guide member 31 of the manhole cover locking mechanism 3 of the manhole cover assembly 9 is shown. Figures 1 to 2 、 Figures 8 to 13 As shown, the manhole cover locking mechanism 3 is used to support the second manhole cover 101 on the one hand and lock the second manhole cover 101 on the other hand when the second manhole cover 101 is opened. The manhole cover locking mechanism 3 includes a support member 30, a guide member 31 and an elastic member 32. One end of the support member 30 extends into the wellbore 11 and is movably connected to the wellbore 11. The guide member 31 is provided on the support member 30, and the second manhole cover 101 is connected to the guide member 31. When the second manhole cover 101 is opened relative to the wellbore 11, under the action of the elastic member 32, the guide member 31 guides the support member 30 to support the second manhole cover 101. The support member 30 plays the role of supporting the second manhole cover 101. The elastic member 32 is used to provide elastic force, and the guide member 31 guides the support member 30 to extend and retract under the action of the elastic member 32. The manhole cover locking mechanism 3 can effectively lock the second manhole cover 101 in the event of strong winds on the apron, accidental contact, collision, etc., to prevent accidents such as accidental closure that could trap workers underground or cause them to be pinched by the manhole cover 10. The manhole cover locking mechanism 3 is closer to the edge of the shaft 11 than the second support arm 122, making it easier for workers to operate from outside the shaft 11 and preventing them from being trapped underground or pinched by the manhole cover 10 after unlocking the manhole cover locking mechanism 3, ensuring safety and reliability.

[0074] exist Figures 8 to 12In the illustrated embodiment, the support member 30 and the guide member 31 form a linkage mechanism. The linkage mechanism has a simple structure, is easily retractable, and is compact. The support member 30 includes a first support member 300, a second support member 301, and a positioning member 302. One end of the first support member 300 is movably connected to the second manhole cover 101, the other end of the first support member 300 is movably connected to one end of the second support member 301, and the other end of the second support member 301 is movably connected to the shaft 11. This movable connection can be a connecting shaft movable connection, which is not limited in this application. The positioning member 302 is provided on the second support member 301. One end of the guide member 31 is connected to the first support member 300, and the other end of the guide member 31 is connected to the second support member 301 via the positioning member 302. The guide member 31 is provided with a guide groove 310 and a locking groove 311 connected to the guide groove 310. The positioning member 302 slides between the guide groove 310 and the locking groove 311. The positioning member 302 is adapted to the guide groove 310 and the locking groove 311. One end of the elastic member 32 is connected to the connection between the first support member 300 and the second manhole cover 101, and the other end of the elastic member 32 is connected to the guide member 31. When the second manhole cover 101 is opened relative to the shaft 11, the positioning member 302 is locked in the locking groove 311 under the action of the elastic member 32, and the support member 30 supports the second manhole cover 101. Figures 8 to 10 When the second manhole cover 101 is in the fully opened position, the guide member 31 moves in the direction of the elastic member 32, and the positioning member 302 slides from the guide groove 310 to the locking groove 311 of the locking portion 313, and the positioning member 302 is locked. At this time, the second manhole cover 101 cannot be closed normally under external force conditions, and the staff needs to manually reset the positioning member 302 from the locking groove 311 to the guide groove 310 before the second manhole cover 101 can be closed normally. Therefore, the manhole cover locking mechanism 3 can effectively lock the second manhole cover 101 in the event of strong winds on the apron, accidental touch by personnel, collision, etc., to avoid accidental closure causing safety accidents such as staff being trapped underground or being pinched by the manhole cover 10. In the above locking process, there is surface contact between the first support member 300 and the second support member 301, the guide member 31 and the first support member 300, and the guide member 31 and the second support member 301. The advantages of surface contact are low pressure, high bearing capacity and impact resistance.

[0075] exist Figures 12 to 13In the illustrated embodiment, the guide member 31 includes a guide portion 312 and a locking portion 313 intersecting the guide portion 312. The guide portion 312 provides guidance, while the locking portion 313 provides locking. The locking portion 313 is located at one end of the guide portion 312 proximal to the second support member 301 and extends from the guide portion 312 along the shaft 11 toward the second manhole cover 101. This arrangement positions the locking portion 313 away from the second manhole cover 101, allowing the positioning member 302 to be restrained within the locking portion 313, providing a stable and reliable locking force to the second manhole cover 101. The guide portion 312 includes a guide groove 310, and the locking portion 313 includes a locking groove 311. The guide groove 310 guides the positioning member 302 in the direction in which the guide portion 312 extends. The locking groove 311 engages and locks the positioning member 302 in both the direction in which the locking portion 313 extends and the direction in which the guide portion 312 extends. With this arrangement, the locking portion 313 extends toward the second manhole cover 101 , so that when the second manhole cover 101 is locked, even if the exterior of the second manhole cover 101 is subjected to external force, the positioning member 302 will not slide back into the guide groove 310 , thereby improving safety.

[0076] exist Figures 12 to 13 In the embodiment shown, the guiding direction of the guide groove 310 and the guiding direction of the locking groove 311 are 90 degrees apart. This arrangement allows the positioning member 302 to be locked in the locking groove 311 and is not easily disengaged from the locking groove 311 under the action of external force, which is stable and reliable. Figures 12 to 13 In the embodiment shown, the connection between the guide groove 310 and the locking groove 311 is in an arc shape. In this way, the guide groove 310 and the locking groove 311 are connected in an arc shape, which is conducive to the positioning member 302 sliding into the locking groove 311 under the action of the elastic member 32. Figures 12 to 13 In the illustrated embodiment, the positioning member 302 is located at a position where the second support member 301 is relatively close to the first support member 300. This arrangement prevents the guide member 31 from being too long, thereby preventing the positioning member 302 from being disengaged from the locking groove 311 under the action of external forces due to the angle between the first support member 300 and the second support member 301 being too small in the locked state, thereby affecting the locking stability.

[0077] exist Figures 12 to 13 In the embodiment shown, the positioning member 302 is located on the second support member 301, and the length range of the distance from the connection with the first support member 300 is 20mm-25mm. In some embodiments, the length of the connection between the positioning member 302 and the first support member 300 and the second support member 301 can be 20mm or 21mm or 22mm or 23mm or 24mm or 25mm. In this way, the position of the positioning member 302 is set appropriately, and it can switch freely between locking and unlocking while ensuring stable locking, and the length and volume of the manhole cover locking mechanism 3 are reduced. Figures 12 to 13In the illustrated embodiment, the positioning member 302 and the guide member 31 are located on a side of the second support member 301 that is relatively close to the outer wall of the shaft 11. This arrangement, in which the positioning member 302 is located near the outer side of the shaft 11, facilitates operation by personnel outside the shaft 11, facilitating movement of the positioning member 302 along the locking groove 311 to the guide groove 310, and also facilitates unlocking the positioning member 302 from the locking groove 311, further facilitating operation by personnel.
