[0051] The air intake assembly is provided with a hollow structure, and the air intake assembly is connected with the cylinder 1 through the air intake hole 11; the air intake assembly includes an integrally formed pressing plate 2 and an air intake pipe 3, and the cylinder 1 is connected with the pressing plate 2 through the air intake pipe 3. In this embodiment, the small-diameter hollow structure in the air intake assembly is the air intake pipe 3, and the large-diameter hollow structure is the pressing plate 2. The air intake pipe 3 is directly connected with the cylinder 1, and the pressing plate 2 is connected with the cylinder 1 through the air intake pipe 3.

[0052] The present invention forms an integral cylinder body by spinning, and integrally forms a pressure plate and an intake pipe into an intake assembly, and then welds the cylinder body and the intake assembly to connect them, thereby saving the number of parts during assembly, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing the cost of the liquid reservoir.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, when the air intake pipe 3 and the cylinder 1 are assembled, the air intake pipe 3 is sleeved on the outside of the air intake hole 11; in another embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, when the air intake pipe 3 and the cylinder 1 are assembled, the air intake pipe 3 is embedded in the air intake hole 11. Those skilled in the art can use the above two methods to fix the air intake pipe 3 and the cylinder 1 according to design requirements, which is not specifically limited here.
