[0027] In this embodiment, at least two auxiliary air holes 22 are provided, and all auxiliary air holes 22 are distributed along the circumferential direction. The provision of multiple auxiliary air holes 22 helps to improve the uniformity of the distribution of the combustion-supporting mixed gas. Preferably, all auxiliary air holes 22 are distributed at equal intervals along the circumferential direction.

[0028] In this embodiment, a drainage groove 23 is provided and is in a ring shape, and the other ends of all the auxiliary air holes 22 are respectively connected to the bottom of the drainage groove 23, and the combustion-supporting mixed gas flowing out of the auxiliary air holes 22 diffuses outward and to both sides. The combustion-supporting mixed gas diffused to both sides is used to supplement the gas volume in the area between the auxiliary air holes 22.

[0029] In this embodiment, the lower end of the air outlet part 2 is connected to the air mixing tube 3, the middle part of the air mixing tube 3 is provided with an air inlet hole 31, the lower part of the air mixing tube 3 is provided with a boosting cavity 32, and the boosting cavity 32 is provided with a boosting plate 4, a sealing ring 5, a filter screen 6 and a rubber tail cap 7 from top to bottom.

[0030] Embodiment 2: Figure 3 As shown, the rest of the parts are the same as those in the first embodiment, except that the number of the drainage grooves 23 is consistent with the number of the auxiliary air holes 22 and corresponds one to one, and the other end of the auxiliary air hole 22 is connected to the bottom of the corresponding drainage groove 23.

[0031] In this embodiment, the other end of the auxiliary air hole 22 is connected to the middle part or one end of the bottom of the corresponding drainage groove 23.

When the diverter channel 241 is a notch, the notch passes through the upper and lower end faces of the convex ring 24, so that the outer side face of the convex ring 24 forms a tooth shape.

[0036] Embodiment 5: Figure 6 As shown, the rest is the same as that of Example 4, the difference being that the spacing between two adjacent diversion channels 241 is in a variable state, and is arranged in a sparse and dense interval, and the secondary air holes 22 are located below the sparser diversion channels 241. By varying the density of the diversion channels 241, the combustion-supporting mixed gas above the secondary air holes 22 has a fast flow rate but a small flow rate, and the combustion-supporting mixed gas above the adjacent secondary air holes 22 has a slow flow rate but a large flow rate, which helps to improve the uniformity of the distribution of the combustion-supporting mixed gas.
