The top plate 11 and the sidewall 12 form a first inner cavity 10. An inlet 111 is located at the center of the top plate 11. An outlet pipe 13 protrudes outward from the sidewall 12, tangent to the sidewall 12. The outlet pipe 13 and the inlet 111 are respectively connected within the first inner cavity 10. The key feature is that a supporting boss 2 and several connecting ribs 3 are also provided at the position of the inlet 111. The supporting boss 2 is located within the first inner cavity 10. The first end of each connecting rib 3 is connected to the outer sidewall of the supporting boss 2, and the second end of each connecting rib 3 is connected to the inner wall of the inlet 111.
