[0038] Two helical flow guide vanes 4 are welded on the outer circumferential surface of cylinder 1 along the axial direction, and the two flow guide vanes 4 are distributed on the front and rear sides of the central axis of cylinder 1. Figure 3 And Figure 5 As shown, sleeve 5 is provided on the outer sleeve of cylinder 1, and sleeve 5 completely wraps flow guide vane 4. The inner wall of sleeve 5 is attached to the outer edge of flow guide vane 4, so that flow guide vane 4 separates the gap space between sleeve 5 and cylinder 1 into helical flow channels 6.
