The invention discloses a tubular dust collector for a construction site. The tubular dust collector comprises a shell, an ash hopper fixedly connected to the lower end of the shell and communicated with the shell, and an exhaust pipe fixedly connected to the side wall of the shell and communicated with the shell, an air inlet is formed in the side wall, away from the exhaust pipe, of the shell, anegative pressure fan is installed at the tail end of the exhaust pipe, an exhaust port is formed in the side wall of the negative pressure fan, and a hollow dust removing pipe is mounted in the shell. By arranging a dust removing pipe, a dust removing brush, the negative pressure fan and a driving mechanism, power supply of the negative pressure fan can be achieved through a rotating permanent magnet and a spiral coil, so that air is sucked into the shell, real-time dust removing and dust removing operation is conducted under the action of a dust removing barrel, and meanwhile the dust removing barrel can reciprocate under the action of a magnetic sliding block and an iron ring; dust attached to the surface of the dust removing barrel is brushed away through the dust removing brush, local dust accumulation is effectively prevented, and the dust removing and purification safety is improved.
