The inner end sealing portion 32 can be a sealing gasket, sealing ring, or sealant, etc. Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments, the inner end sealing portion 32 is an inner end sealing gasket 32a. Setting the inner end sealing portion 32 as a hexagonal inner end sealing gasket 32a helps ensure the sealing effect between the rigid sealing plate 31 and the support base 2. The following description will use an inner end sealing portion 32 with an inner end sealing gasket 32a as an example. The inner end sealing gasket 32a is typically made of rubber; for example, it can be an EPDM rubber gasket.

[0059] The inner end of the rigid sealing plate 31 is fixedly mounted on the support base 2. The specific shape and style of the inner end of the rigid sealing plate 31 can be set according to the actual situation. Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments, the inner end of the rigid sealing plate 31 is provided with an inner annular edge 311, which is horizontally opposite to the outer peripheral side of the support base 2.
[0060] Specifically, the inner end of the rigid sealing plate 31 is flipped downwards to form an inner annular edge 311.

The inner annular edge 311 has a first inner through hole 312 through which the tail of the inner screw 4a passes. The support base 2 has screw mounting holes that mate with the inner screw 4a. This method of fixing the inner end of the rigid sealing plate 31 to the support base 2 using the inner screw 4a makes the assembly and disassembly of the annular sealing plate 31 and the support base 2 easier and more convenient. Typically, multiple inner screws 4a are spaced apart along the inner end of the rigid sealing plate 31, corresponding to multiple first inner through holes 312 on the rigid sealing plate 31.

[0074] Specifically, the outer end sealing part 33 covers the area on the outer end annular edge 313 where multiple first outer end through holes 314 are provided. In this way, the outer end screw 4b that fixes the hard sealing plate 31 and the hub 1 will also pass through the outer end sealing part 33, so that the outer end screw 4b can apply sufficient clamping force to the outer end sealing part 33, thereby ensuring that the outer end sealing part 33 can achieve a good sealing effect.
[0075] Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments, the rigid sealing plate 31 includes a tapered portion 315 disposed between the inner end sealing portion 32 and the outer end sealing portion 33.

The upper and lower ends of the tapered portion 315 are respectively connected to the outer annular edge 313 and the inner annular edge 311. The tapered portion 315 is gradually tapered inward from top to bottom to create a height difference between the outer annular edge 313 and the inner annular edge 311. The outer annular edge 313 is located on the upper side of the inner annular edge 311.
[0077] The rigid sealing plate 31 can be a single piece; alternatively, it can be assembled from multiple components. See also... Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the rigid sealing plate 31 includes a plurality of fan-shaped splicing parts 316, which are spliced together along the circumference of the rigid sealing plate 31.
[0078] Specifically, the rigid sealing plate 31 can be divided into two, three, four, five, six, or more sector-shaped splicing portions 316 along its circumference.
