A sealing element is installed in the hydraulic steel pipe expansion hole 1043. The upper flange cover 104 is fastened to the internal expansion plug by bolts.

[0020] In this embodiment, there are two hydraulic steel pipes 204, so there are two hydraulic steel pipe expansion holes 1043.

[0021] Furthermore, a first sealing ring 1045 is provided between the upper flange cover 104 and the upper flange 101 to provide a sealing function.

[0022] Furthermore, the upper flange cover 104 is provided with a number of threaded holes 1044 evenly arranged in a ring. The threaded holes 1044 are connected to a third bolt 10441, which is used to fasten the plug and locking device 201 to the upper flange cover 104.
