One end of the pipeline controller 501 is connected to the stepper motor 502, and the other end of the pipeline controller 501 is connected to the air circuit connector 503. The air circuit connector 503 is connected to the air pump 6, and the stepper motor 502 is respectively connected to the power supply 4 and the main control device 3. The pipeline controller 501 includes a pipeline controller body 5011 and a pipeline controller sliding rod 5012.
