The edge of the pressing plate 1 protrudes outwardly beyond the edge of the manhole 90, and at least two ends of the pressing element 4 protrude beyond the edge of the manhole 90. The sealing element 3 is arranged between the pressing plate 1 and the manhole 90. The handle column 2 is connected to the pressing plate 1 and protrudes from the side of the pressing element 4 away from the manhole 90. The pressing element 4 is provided with a clamping groove 411 for cooperating with the handle column 2. The outer peripheral wall of the handle column 2 is provided with a first sliding groove 21 extending in the axial direction of the handle column 2 and a second sliding groove extending in the circumferential direction of the handle column 2. The second sliding groove is connected to one end of the first sliding groove 21 towards the pressing element 4. The locking ring buckle 5 includes a ring body 51 sleeved on the handle column 2 and a limiting protrusion connected to the inner side of the ring body 51. The limiting protrusion can slide along the first sliding groove 21 and the second sliding groove.
