[0027] A flexible diaphragm group 7 is provided between the intermediate body 2 and the first shaft hub 1 and the second shaft hub 3. The first shaft hub 1, the second shaft hub 3, the flexible diaphragm group 7 and the intermediate body 2 are fixed together by a plurality of connecting screws 8;

Specifically, first use multiple connecting screws 8 to firmly fix the multiple flexible diaphragm groups 7 and the intermediate body 2 together, and then place the intermediate body 2 and the flexible diaphragm group 7 between the first hub 1 and the second hub 3, and use the remaining connecting screws 8 to firmly fix the intermediate body 2 and the first hub 1 and the second hub 3 together. It is worth noting that the nut ends of each two adjacent connecting screws 8 are in opposite directions (such as Figure 5 As shown), it can not only improve the firmness between the flexible diaphragm group 7 and the intermediate body 2, the first hub 1, and the second hub 3, but also improve the dynamic balance of the coupling;
