[0028] Working principle of the present invention: Step 1: During jet heating, the docking gas pipe 14 is docked with the gas pipeline, and the water inlet heat exchange pipe 17 is docked with the cold water inlet pipe, and the water outlet heat exchange pipe 18 is docked with the hot water outlet pipe. The gas is poured into the docking gas pipe 14, and the docking gas pipe 14 is docked with the air inlet pipe 13, and enters the inside of the jet pipe 15 along the air inlet pipe 13. The upper spraying operation is realized through the multiple jet holes 30 on the jet pipe 15.

After the gear ring 7 rotates 360 degrees in the forward direction, the gear ring 7 rotates 360 degrees in the reverse direction. In this way, the gear ring 7 drives the gas concentration sensor 10 to rotate back and forth.
