When the diaphragm 3 rises and falls, the guide rod 5 moves along the linear bearing 4 to ensure that the diaphragm 3 will not be skewed. The utility model has a reasonable structure. The diaphragm 3 is evenly provided with a plurality of lower spring seats 7 and guide rods 5 in an annular shape. The lower spring seat 7 is connected to the guide rod 5 by bolts.
