A sealing spring 12 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the sealing plate 11 and the mounting frame 7, and the top ends of the two sealing plates 11 are sealed against the bottom of the two ends of the insulation cover 9 in a one-to-one correspondence. The interior of the mounting frame 7, the interior of the insulation cover 9 and the opposite side of the two sealing plates 11 form a tunnel, and multiple tunnels are interconnected to form a cooling tunnel 6.

[0031] The mounting frame 7 includes a side plate and an arc frame. The two side plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the frame 1 in a one-to-one correspondence. The same end of the two side plates is fixedly connected to the same arc frame. An arc groove 8 is provided on the opposite side of the two arc frames. The two ends of the arc groove 8 are penetrated. The end of the insulation cover 9 is coaxially sealed and rotatably connected in the arc groove 8. A sealing groove 10 is provided on the side plate. The sealing plate 11 is sealingly and slidingly connected in the sealing groove 10. The sealing spring 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing groove 10 at one end away from the sealing plate 11.

[0032] The heat-insulating cover 9 has a friction coaxial seal and is rotatably connected in the arc groove 8 , and a spare heat-insulating cover 9 is placed at the bottom of the frame 1 .
