[0030] In this embodiment, specifically: one end of the insertion rod 23 away from the connecting tube 12 is fixedly connected with a pull button 31, and the pull button 31 is used to facilitate pulling the insertion rod 23.

[0031] In this embodiment, specifically: the lower portion of the inner wall of the limiting cylinder 18 is slidably connected to the outer side of the outer wall of the tube sheet 11 near the outer side of the limiting block 20 near the L-shaped limiting groove 19, and the lower portion of the outer wall of the tube sheet 11 slides inside the limiting cylinder 18, thereby limiting the tube sheet 11, increasing the stability of the tube sheet 11, and preventing the tube sheet 11 from shaking.

At this time, the outer wall of the sealing ring 17 will fit and connect to the inner wall of the sealing groove 16, further enhancing the sealing effect. Through three-way sealing, the sealing effect is improved to prevent leakage. Then, the limiting tube 18 is rotated to make the outer walls of multiple limiting blocks 20 slide laterally along the inner wall of the L-shaped limiting groove 19, thereby limiting the limiting tube 18, and then forming a gap between the limiting tube 18 and the tube sheet 11. The relatively fixed connection relationship ensures the stability of the sealing structure between the connecting tube 12 and the tube sheet 11. At the same time, in order to further enhance the connection stability between the connecting tube 12 and the tube sheet 11, under the elastic force of the spring 27, the two plug rods 23 will be respectively inserted into the corresponding sockets 24, thereby realizing a fixed connection between the connecting tube 12 and the limiting tube 18, preventing the limiting tube 18 from rotating.
