The first solenoid valve 21 located on the left is a normally open solenoid valve, and the first solenoid valve 21 located on the right is a normally open solenoid valve. A normally closed solenoid valve, which will be closed when no power is supplied, and the valve body will be opened when power is supplied. A first rectangular box 8 is fixedly connected to the left side of the power supply box body 1, and electromagnets 15 are installed on the left and right inner walls of the first rectangular box 8. A conductive piston 17 is arranged in the power supply box body 1, and two electromagnets 15 cooperate with the conductive piston 17. A power connection block 18 is embedded in the top and the bottom of the left side space of the power supply box body 1.

The external power supply and the upper power connection block 18 are electrically connected through a wire, and the negative pole of the external power supply, the two first solenoid valves 21 and the lower power connection block 18 are electrically connected; Among them, the upper ends of the two piston rings 24 are fixedly connected with conductive columns 27, and the upper end of each conductive column 27 passes through the corresponding mesh plate 28. The inner top of each cylinder 22 is installed with a first touch delay switch 29.

When the first touch delay switch 29 is triggered, the electromagnet 15 will be powered on for a period of time and then turned off; Among them, in order to facilitate the staff to deal with the waste liquid in time, an alarm mechanism is also included. The alarm mechanism is located on the left side of the power supply box body 1. The alarm mechanism includes a piston cylinder 9 fixedly connected to the lower end of the first rectangular box 8.

A piston block 10 that can slide up and down is arranged in the piston cylinder 9.

[0023] In the present invention, when in use, the cleaning box 3 is filled with clean water, and the height of the clean water is flush with the middle of the uppermost liquid passage 23. At this time, the fan 2 is started, and since the conductive piston 17 contacts the two power connection blocks 18, the first solenoid valve 21 on the left is closed, and the first solenoid valve 21 on the right is opened, and air enters from the right cylinder 22 part; As the air continues to enter, more dust will gather under the filter 25, resulting in a larger wind resistance of the filter 25, which will cause the filter 25 to move up continuously. When the amount of dust accumulation is large, the filter 25 moves up to the corresponding conductive column 27 to contact the corresponding first touch delay switch 29, and the electromagnet 15 on the right side will be energized for a period of time and automatically closed. During this period of time, the conductive piston 17 will be attracted to move right to contact the electromagnet 15 on the right side, and the circuits where the two first electromagnetic valves 21 are located will be disconnected. At this time, the first electromagnetic valve 21 on the left side is de-energized and turned on, and the first electromagnetic valve 21 on the right side is de-energized and closed, and air enters from the left side of the cylinder 22. Since the airflow disappears on the cylinder 22 on the right side, the piston ring 24 will move down quickly under the elastic action of the second spring 26. Due to the inertia, the maximum height of the piston ring 24 is lower than the initial height, so it will contact the water in the cleaning box 3. Under the inertia and the elastic action of the second spring 26, the piston ring 24 will shake up and down for a period of time and finally stop moving. During this period of time, the filter screen 25 on the right side will move relative to the water, and finally achieve self-cleaning of the filter screen 25; When the left filter 25 is partially covered with dust, the above process is repeated and the right filter 25 is replaced for dust removal, thereby achieving reciprocating replacement; It should be noted that the left and right electromagnets 15 will be energized alternately, causing the conductive piston 17 to move back and forth left and right. When the conductive piston 17 moves left, gas will be replenished from the outside through the first one-way tube 16. When the conductive piston 17 moves right, gas will be pressed into the top space of the piston cylinder 9 through the second one-way tube 12, pushing the piston block 10 to move continuously downward. After the conductive piston 17 moves left and right for a fixed number of times, the piston block 10 will move downward to contact the touch alarm component 11, so that the second solenoid valve and the alarm are energized, and the alarm will sound to remind the staff to make the water in the cleaning box 3 smoother. That is, after the two filters 25 have worked alternately for many times, the alarm will sound. At this time, the water needs to be replaced to avoid the situation where the water is too dirty and affects the cleanliness.
