The upper end of the support post has a frustoconical surface that matches the frustoconical hole, facilitating valve plate opening. The honeycomb plate ring is welded to the inner side of the fixing ring and the outer side of the central post. The honeycomb plate ring is stepped with its small end on the upper side, which helps to improve the strength and rigidity of the vent plate, making it less prone to deformation and damage when the fixing ring is installed in the mounting hole and welded to the end joint. The lower end of the central post has a countersunk hole that fits over the upper end of the guide post, which helps to reduce the height dimension. Attached Figure Description
