A guide fluid is provided at the lower part of the toothed rod. The length of the guide fluid extending outward relative to the toothed rod gradually increases from one end to the other. The width of the guide fluid gradually increases with the length of the guide fluid. The toothed rod is cylindrical. The guide fluid also includes two intersecting side surfaces.
