When the extrusion rod 6 rotates with the first rotating shaft 5 and squeezes the movable block 1902, the movable block 1902 moves downward, and when the extrusion rod 6 releases the squeezing of the movable block 1902, the movable block 1902 will automatically pop up under the action of the compression spring 1901.

[0028] In this embodiment, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9 As shown, a movable plate 1903 is fixed to the bottom of the movable block 1902, and a third oil cylinder 1904 is symmetrically fixed on both sides of the bottom of the support box 3, and a third piston 1905 is slidably connected in the third oil cylinder 1904.

When the movable block 1902 is squeezed and moves downward, the corresponding movable plate 1903 and the two third pistons 1905 move downward as a whole, and the hydraulic oil in one of the third oil cylinders 1904 in the corresponding support box 3 is pressed into the oil groove 1908 through the first connecting pipe 1906, and the hydraulic oil in the other third oil cylinder 1904 in the corresponding support box 3 is pressed into the two hoses 1707 through the second connecting pipe 1907.

[0031] The use method and advantages of the present invention: The working process of the self-cleaning fan is as follows: like Figures 1 to 9 As shown: when the second rotating shaft 10 rotates, the third rotating shaft 14 and the two blades 15 rotate under the driving action of the first bevel gear 12 and the second bevel gear 13, so as to automatically exhaust air. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 5 drives the fan housing 7 to rotate, which is convenient for adjusting the exhaust angle. The through hole 8 is used for ventilation. Before cleaning the dust and impurities in the through hole 8, the fan housing 7 needs to be turned to a vertical state and the through hole 8 to be cleaned faces downward. The squeezing rod 6 rotates with the first rotating shaft 5, and the squeezing rod 6 squeezes the movable block 1902. The movable block 1902, the movable plate 1903 and the two third pistons 1905 are integrally The body moves downward, and the fourth piston 1909 moves upward under the action of oil pressure, thereby driving the scraper 1910 to move upward. Since the stiffness coefficient of the tension spring 1705 is relatively large, the first piston 1703 does not move at first, and the two second pistons 1709 move, thereby pushing open the rotating plate 1701, and the rotating plate 1701 rotates 90 degrees. Then the two first pistons 1703 move, and the movable plate 1704 and the cleaning ejector pin 1706 move accordingly. The cleaning ejector pin 1706 extends into the through hole 8, thereby automatically ejecting dust and impurities in the through hole 8, and the scraper 1910 automatically scrapes away the dust and impurities.

[0032] In summary, the self-cleaning fan achieves the purpose of self-cleaning and adjusting the exhaust angle, and meets people's usage needs.
