The left side of the water delivery pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the inside of the right side of the sleeve 7. The right side of the return water pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the sleeve 7. The return water pipe 5 is a flexible hose with a spring wire arranged inside. The water inlet pipe 11 is a flexible hose with a spring wire arranged inside.
[0031] Specifically, the bracket 1 is used to connect and support the hydraulic cylinder 2. The hydraulic cylinder 2 is used to drive the top cover 3 to move up and down to achieve the opening and closing of the furnace body 4. The furnace body 4 is a heating container for manufacturing the liquid material. The return water pipe 5 is used to drain the water for cooling the top cover 3. The spiral pipe 6 is a spiral pipe for heating the inner cylinder 8. The sleeve 7 is used to insulate the inner cylinder 8. The inner cylinder 8 is used to hold the raw materials to be melted. The water supply pipe 9 is used to re-enter the water into the water tank 10. The water tank 10 is used to store the water for cooling. The water inlet pipe 11 is used to convey the water in the water tank 10. The water pump 12 is used to add the water in the water tank 10 into the top cover 3 through the water inlet pipe 11.
[0032] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 3 , the dust-proof component includes a housing 13. The left side of the housing 13 is fixedly connected to the right side of the bracket 1. A piston 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 13. A connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the piston 14.
