[0008] On both the front and rear ends of the side of multiple fixed heads away from the top cover, joint rings are fixedly arranged. Between two joint rings on the same side among the multiple joint rings, a connecting bar is connected by a joint shaft. Multiple small hexagon screws connect it to a fixed base with a fixed base screw groove. Four fixed bases are welded at the front and rear ends and both sides of the bottom ring with a cavity. A rubber ring is installed on the upper part of the bottom ring. Multiple casting cover fixing screw holes are provided with threads corresponding to the bottom ring fixing screw holes.

[0009] Further, the number of screw holes on multiple mouth-binding pieces is four, and the four screw holes on the mouth-binding pieces are respectively located on both sides and at the front and rear ends of the upper end face of the mouth-binding piece.

[0010] Further, four threaded hole grooves are opened at the front, rear, and both sides near the center of the upper end face of the top cover, and are sleeved with medium hexagon screws with the screw holes on the mouth-binding pieces.

[0011] Further, on the side of multiple fixed heads close to the top cover, a fixed through hole penetrating the front and rear is opened, and two of the fixed heads are sleeved on a fixed rod.

[0012] Further, one end of multiple connecting bars is provided with fixed bar screw holes, and small hexagon screws are threadedly sleeved in the multiple fixed bar screw holes.

[0013] Further, multiple small hexagon screws connect the connecting bar to the fixed base with a fixed base screw groove.

[0014] Further, the number of multiple casting cover fixing screw holes is four, and the four casting cover fixing screw holes are respectively located at the front, rear, and both sides of the corners of the cover top.

[0015] Further, the number of multiple bottom ring fixing screw holes is four, and the four bottom ring fixing screw holes are respectively located at the front, rear, and both sides of the corners of the cover top, and correspond to the casting cover fixing screw holes on the upper end face of the top cover at the same time.

[0016] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. A valve cover casting convenient for assembly proposed by the utility model has a flat square shape, so its volume is not large and it does not occupy much area.
