The connecting ring 1, cone sleeve 2, support ear 3, and guide key 4 are connected and assembled to form the flange cone 10 after being processed separately.
[0023] The large end surface of the tapered sleeve 2 is a slope 6 .
[0024] The extended line of the long side 7 of the tapered sleeve 2 and the guide key 4 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the outer circumference of the connecting ring 1 at an interval of 180°.

[0025] The ears 3 on both sides of the connecting ring 1 are arranged horizontally, and the lower plane of the ears 3 coincides with the horizontal symmetry axis (horizontal diameter line) of the connecting ring 1 .
[0026] The axis of the connecting ring 1 is arranged horizontally, the long side 7 of the tapered sleeve 2 is located at the upper end of the connecting ring 1, the guide key 4 is located at the lower end of the connecting ring 1, and the two ears 3 are located on both sides of the connecting ring 1 (such as Figure 3 shown).

[0028] The outer circumference of the connecting ring 1 is provided with a positioning groove II9 for the support ear 3, and the positioning boss at the end of the support ear 3 is located in the positioning groove II9. Preferably, the positioning groove I8 and the positioning groove II9 have the same size for easy processing.
[0029] Support ribs 5 are installed on both sides of the support ear 3 , and the support ribs 5 are fixedly connected to the support ear 3 and the connecting ring 1 .

[0031] The blank of the cone sleeve 2 is made of steel plate by riveting and welding, and then the convex stop at the small end is processed and then welded to the connecting ring 1.
