[0034] The cavity 14 in the cooling cylinder 1 of the application has a hollow, and the two ends are provided with openings. When drawing the crystal bar, the cooling liquid is introduced into the liquid inlet channel 3 of the cooling water path through the liquid inlet pipe 6, and flows in the cooling water path, so that a low-temperature environment is formed in the cavity inside the cooling cylinder 1, and the crystal bar is cooled comprehensively.
