The other ends of the constant-force element A and the constant-force element B are respectively wound around the non-coplanar wheel and the co-planar and opposite-direction wheel and then connected to the clamping element. When the drive motor controls one of the constant-force element A and the constant-force element B to tighten, the other one is relaxed. Through the coordinated action of the pair of constant-force elements, the drive motor realizes the opening and closing of the clamping element. By embedding the designed constant-force element in the rope-wheel drive structure, the present invention can always maintain a constant clamping force during the long-term clamping of the intestinal tube, effectively avoiding intestinal tube damage or device failure caused by excessive or too small force on the intestinal tube, and effectively solving the biomechanical compatibility between the artificial anal sphincter and the intestinal tube.
