[0031] Preferably, the inner circumferential top wall 13 of the ring part 3 and the outer circumferential wall of the cylinder 1 are in sealing abutment, for example, by being tightly fitted.

[0032] The upper end of the outer sleeve 2 and the cylinder body 1 can be connected by welding, and the lower end of the outer sleeve 2 and the cylinder body 1 can also be connected by welding. The welding sealing is a conventional technology, which is not described here.

[0033] Preferably, as shown in Figure 5 , 6 , 7, 8, the ring part 3 is integrally extruded inwardly on the peripheral wall of the outer sleeve 2, and at the same time, the ring part 3 is recessed inwardly relative to the peripheral wall of the outer sleeve 2, so that the part of the peripheral wall of the outer sleeve 2 located above and below the ring part 3 forms an annular groove, which serves as the annular communication cavity 4. In this way, the structure is simple and the production is efficient.

[0034] Further, the ring part 3 is integrally extruded to be discontinuously arranged along the circumference of the outer sleeve 2, and the interval between the circumferentially adjacent ring parts 3 serves as the passage 5. In this way, the passage 5 is obtained at the same time.

[0035] Further, the discontinuous arrangement of the ring part 3 is provided with a breakpoint 8, and the part of the inner peripheral wall of the outer sleeve 2 where the breakpoint 8 is located constitutes the passage 5. In this way, the two annular communication cavities 4 axially adjacent to each other are connected by a passage 5, which is conducive to controlling the flow direction of the refrigerant, thereby better cooling the cylinder body 1.

[0036] Further, each axially adjacent passage 5 is arranged in a circumferentially staggered manner. In this way, the flow direction of the refrigerant is further optimized, thereby better cooling the cylinder body 1.

[0037] In this example, the included angle of the staggered distribution is 180 degrees. Therefore, the refrigerant entering from the passage 5 can run through the entire annular communication cavity 4, and then enter the next level of annular communication cavity 4 from the oppositely arranged passage 5.

In this way, a better cooling effect is achieved.

[0039] Although in this example, the inlet 6 is arranged in the annular communication cavity 4 on the side close to the ice outlet 11 of the cylinder body 1, and the outlet 7 is arranged in the annular communication cavity 4 at the position on the other side of the cylinder body 1 opposite to the said side, the refrigerant inlet pipe 9 is inserted and welded on the inlet 6, and the refrigerant outlet pipe 10 is inserted and welded on the outlet 7.

[0040] But it can also be other structures, for example, the reverse, that is, the outlet 7 is located in the annular communication cavity 4 near the ice outlet 11 of the cylinder 1, and the inlet 6 is located in the annular communication cavity 4 at the other side of the cylinder 1 opposite to the side of the outlet 7.

[0041] Preferably, the refrigerant inlet pipe 9 and the refrigerant outlet pipe 10 are located on the same side, and each of the refrigerant inlet pipe 9 and the refrigerant outlet pipe 10 is provided with a passageway 5 opposite to the annular communication cavity 4. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient to connect the refrigerant pipeline during the later assembly of the whole machine, and on the other hand, it has a better cooling effect.

[0042] Preferably, each ring part 3 is provided with a passageway 5, and each axially adjacent passageway 5 is distributed and arranged in a circumferential staggered manner, and the included angle of the staggered distribution is 180 degrees.
