[0025] This utility model eliminates the noise from high-pressure oxygen release and prevents rainwater from entering the oxygen pipeline by installing a silencer rain cover 9 on the silencer 10, thereby reducing the cost of later maintenance and achieving the purpose of safe equipment operation and environmental protection.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the discharge bend includes a vertical section and an inclined section, wherein the vertical section is connected to the oxygen branch pipe 5 and is arranged perpendicular to the oxygen branch pipe 5, and the silencer 10 is arranged at the end of the inclined section.
