The connecting forkhead and the torsion bar are only connected by a pin shaft. In actual use, the pin shaft is in direct contact and friction with the connecting forkhead. After the pin shaft is worn excessively, a gap will be generated, resulting in the inability of the feed valve to be effectively closed and affecting the operation of the system.
