[0051] S4: When the separation information is failed detachment, the control system immediately starts the emergency procedure.
[0052] The beneficial effects achieved by this application are as follows:
[0053] 1. This application sets a follow-up adaptive plugging structure, that is, an axial and radial movement gap is set between the output nozzle and the second connection through-hole of the extraction seat, enabling the adjustment of the spatial positions of each output nozzle within a certain range during the docking process. This can not only reduce the installation difficulty, improve work efficiency, but also reduce the requirements for machining accuracy to a certain extent, thereby reducing prices and production costs.
[0054] 2. This application is provided with a micro motion sensor, which can timely feedback the gap between the contact surfaces of the extraction seat and the fixed seat, that is, the separation situation of the air pipe connector, and promptly feedback the separation situation to the control system.
