At the bottom inside the reaction box body 1, a fixed cylinder 18 is fixedly connected. The fixed cylinder 18 is in a cylindrical structure.

[0030] The upper end of the connecting frame 22 is in a "square" shape. The inner height of the upper end of the connecting frame 22 is greater than the major axis length of the cam 21.
