[0034] The pressure rod 17 is a hollow structure, and the output end of the driving motor 14 is drivingly connected to the fastening transmission wheel 15 via a rotating shaft inside the pressure rod 17 .

[0035] The handwheel assembly includes a handwheel turntable 19 rotatably mounted on a slot 18 on the side wall of the device housing 1 . The handwheel turntable 19 is connected to an upper end of one side of the rotating pressure plate 13 via a pull rod 20 .
