The powder outlet holes 12 are symmetrically opened at the bottom of the powder storage box 15, and the upper surface of the powder storage box 15 is fixedly connected to the pressure relief pipe 19, and the upper surface of the pressure relief pipe 19 is slidably connected to the limit rod 20 through the through hole, and the lower end of the limit rod 20 is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 21, and the sealing plate 21 is slidably connected in the pressure relief pipe 19 through the limit rod 20. At the same time, the upper surface of the powder storage box 15 is connected to the three-way pipe 8 through the bronchial pipe 9.
[0018] In this embodiment, an appropriate amount of powder is injected into the powder storage box 15 through the feed port, and then the powder storage box 15 is erected and the switch of the air pump 10 is started. The air pump 10 inputs most of the airflow into the powder supply pipe 1 through the three-way pipe 8, and the remaining airflow flows into the bronchial tube 9. After the airflow in the bronchial tube 9 flows into the powder storage box 15, the internal air pressure of the powder storage box 15 can be pressurized accordingly, so that the airflow in the powder storage box 15 can flow into the powder supply pipe 1 through the powder outlet 12, and the powder in the powder storage box 15 can flow in synchronously with the airflow, thereby improving the smoothness of the powder outflow.
