[0046] ​The inner cylinder shaft extends horizontally and is hollow inside. An inlet is provided at one end of the inner cylinder shaft in the axial direction. The outlet of the inlet pipe 4 has an outlet adapter 41 that communicates with the inlet of the inner cylinder shaft. Specifically, the outlet adapter 41 is hemispherical. When water is introduced, the water coming out of the outlet of the inlet pipe 4 first enters the outlet adapter 41, and then enters the inner cylinder shaft through the outlet adapter 41. The water in the inner cylinder shaft enters the inner cylinder through the outlet of the inner cylinder shaft. The outlet adapter 41 is provided to buffer the speed of water introduction, reduce the water pressure, and make the water introduction more gradual. On the other hand, it changes the flow direction of water introduced through the inlet pipe 4, so that the water enters the inner cylinder shaft more smoothly.

[0047] The water outlet adapter 41 has an opening at its diameter end. The inner cylinder shaft is inserted into the water outlet adapter 41 through the opening. The water outlet adapter 41 has an opening at its diameter end, which means that the water in the water outlet adapter 41 flows gradually as the size of the water outlet adapter 41 increases, which can buffer the water inflow rate to the minimum.

[0048] The opening of the water outlet adapter 41 faces the bearing housing 12 and is fastened to the bearing housing 12. The water outlet adapter 41 covers the shaft hole 1211 of the bearing housing 12.

The two first positioning protrusions 51 are located between two adjacent third mounting holes 412. Furthermore, the connection between the water inlet pipe 4 and the water outlet adapter 41 is located between the two first positioning protrusions 51, thereby maximizing the pre-positioning of the water inlet pipe 4.

[0051] likeFigure 5 As shown, further specifically, the first positioning hole 52 is a stepped hole, the axial section of the first positioning hole 52 is circular, the hole diameter of each step of the first positioning hole 52 gradually decreases from outside to inside of the water outlet adapter 41, and the first positioning hole 52 is composed of holes with different hole diameters connected head to tail.
