When the first circular ring clamp 12 and the second circular ring clamp 13 are slidably close to each other, the cylindrical block 18 connected to the upper end of the second circular ring clamp 13 is slidably attached to the surface of the first clamping ring 15 and the second clamping ring 16, and when continuously sliding close, the cylindrical block 18 is extruded to rotate the first clamping ring 15 and the second clamping ring 16 through the arc surface of the cylindrical block 18.
