[0033] Specifically, the base 10 is formed by splicing metal profiles, and the body 11 is extended in a rectangular shape as a whole, and its two opposite ends are the regulating end 12 and the fixed end 13. The flow meter 200 can be a commercially available flow meter with high accuracy.

By providing the limiting protrusion 4211, it can be ensured that the first seat body 421 and the third seat body 423 will not be relatively displaced during use, thereby making the connection of the transfer tube 40 more secure.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the transfer tube 40 further includes a sealing ring 44, which is made of silicone or rubber material. The sealing ring 44 can be arranged on the outer side of the opening of the third liquid passage 40a through a groove or glue. After the flow meter 200 is clamped and fixed, the sealing ring 44 can elastically abut against the flow meter 200 and the second tube body 41. In this way, the liquid can be prevented from flowing out from the gap between the two.
