[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the outer surface of the gas seat is provided with an integrally connected and outwardly extended connecting part, a magnet is installed in the groove of the connecting part, and a connecting bolt is provided in the bolt hole of the connecting part.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the porous ceramic plate is pressed by a pressure plate provided on the second step, and the pressure plate is fixedly connected to the gas seat by fixing bolts.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages: The structure is simple, compact, and reasonable; using porous ceramics as the gas distribution layer decomposes the protective gas into micro-flows, forming a laminar flow barrier, effectively covering the welding path area with the protective gas; the annular arrangement of the porous ceramics effectively covers the entire area of ​​the ultra-thin metal plate; using magnets or bolts for assembly with existing welding fixtures allows it to be compatible with most existing ultra-thin metal plate welding fixtures; multiple gas pipe interfaces are arranged around the device, effectively improving the uniformity of protective gas distribution within the device; this annular protective gas device is simple, reliable, low-cost, and easy to maintain.
