[0003] The prior art has the following problems:
[0004] 1. The sealing gasket of the flange sealing structure in the prior art will gradually age and its elasticity will gradually decrease as the service time increases.

The bolt installation stability of the flange sealing structure can be further improved. Utility Model Content
