[0051] When the fixed rod 202 is in contact with the inner wall of the bottom end of the sliding sleeve plate 205, the target cover body 1 is separated from the compression ring 4 by moving above the compression ring 4 at this time, and then the target cover body 1 is stopped from rotating and is flipped around the fixed rod 202 as the axis, and the sliding sleeve plate 205 is rotated along the outer wall of the fixed rod 202 under the driving of the connecting sleeve ring 206, so that the target cover body 1 and the compression ring 4 are dislocated, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the compression ring 4 and realize the replacement of the target material 3.
[0052] When the target material 3 is replaced and the compression ring 4 is installed and fixed, the above operation is reversed to quickly install the target cover body 1. In this process, when the height of the target cover body 1 needs to be limited, the cam 209 is rotated to the appropriate angle. When one sliding cover plate 205 is lowered, the outer wall of the limiting baffle 201 is blocked by the cam 209, so that the height of the target cover body 1 can be automatically limited, thereby further improving the efficiency of replacing the target material 3.

When the connecting rotating ring 204 and the fixed ring 203 are separated from each other, the connecting rotating ring 204 is moved with the fixed rod 202 as the axis, so that the connecting rotating ring 204 and the fixed ring 203 are dislocated. Then, the target cover body 1 and the compression ring 4 are separated from each other. After that, the new target cover body 1 is screwed onto the outer wall of the compression ring 4. Then, the connecting rotating ring 204 is reversed to achieve the purpose of conveniently replacing the target cover body 1.
