[0024] By adjusting the direction and angle of the gas head 1, the most suitable connection angle is found. After the gas head 1 is adjusted to the appropriate angle, the nut 205 is rotated to make the nut 205 move towards the gas head 1. The nut 205 cooperates with the fixing ring 203 and the gasket 204 to clamp the outer shell of the gas head 1. Thus, the gas head 1 is connected to the elbow pipe 201, and the angle of the gas head 1 is limited.

[0025] Refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the interior of the gas head 1 is vacuum, two air holes are opened at the bottom end of the gas head 1, and a through hole adapted to the fixing ring 203, the gasket 204, the elbow pipe 201, and the nut 205 is opened at the right end of the gas head 1.
