[0015] Preferably, a plurality of the electric push rods are provided, and the left sides of the plurality of electric push rods are fixedly connected to the same support plate.

When the machine is idle, the cover plate is moved by the electric push rod so that the first air outlet of the cover plate and the second air outlet of the ventilation plate are staggered, so that external dust will not naturally fall onto the fan, thereby reducing the number of cleaning times and lowering maintenance costs.
