[0031] Specifically, the inner wall of the lower end of the discharge cylinder 5 is coaxially provided with an annular part 6, and when the plug 4 is in the closed state, the upper surface of the plug 4 is in contact with the lower surface of the annular part 6.

[0032] Specifically, the upper surface of the annular part 6 is a slope inclined to the center of the annular part 6, and the annular part 6 with the upper and lower surfaces inclined is arranged to have the effect of force division and buffering, so as to avoid damage to the plug 4 caused by excessive pressure.
