[0032] Preferably, the valve body 1 is provided with the sand stirring port 19 matched with the sand storage cavity 6, the sand stirring port 19 is externally threadedly connected with the screw plug 13, the screw plug 13 is internally provided with the sand stirrer 12, one end of the sand stirrer 12 is arranged in the sand stirring port 19, and the second sealing gasket 14 is connected between the screw plug 13 and the sand stirring port 19; the sand stirrer 12 rotates synchronously with the screw plug 13, and when the quartz sand is seriously agglomerated, the quartz sand can be mechanically stirred by the screw plug 13 spirally driving the sand stirrer 12.
[0033] Preferably, the sand outlet pipe 10 is fixedly connected with the sand outlet 9 through the second nut 28, and the first sealing gasket 11 is connected between the sand outlet pipe 10 and the sand outlet 9.
[0034] The sand-cleaning block 4 includes a sand-cleaning section 41 and a baffle 42 located at the lower end of the sand-cleaning section 41. The sand-cleaning section 41 has an arc-shaped block structure. The baffle 42 is used to separate the sand storage chamber 6 and the sand blowing chamber 7. The top of the valve body 1 is provided with an arc groove 29 that rotates with the sand-cleaning section 41. The surface of the sand-cleaning section 41 is always in close contact with the inner wall of the arc groove 29. A rotating handle 17 is connected to the sand-cleaning block 4. The rotating handle 17 is located outside the valve body 1. By rotating the handle 17, the sand-cleaning block 4 can be rotated. There is a large friction between the sand-cleaning block 4 and the valve body 1, so that the position of the sand-cleaning block 4 can remain stable and will not automatically tilt. Since the sand storage chamber 6 and the sand blowing chamber 7 form a U-shaped meandering channel, the channel at the connection between the two is narrow and easy to block, making it difficult to clean. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, rotating the handle 17 drives the sand-cleaning block 4 to rotate counterclockwise, so that one end of the sand-cleaning part 41 contacts the inside of the sand storage cavity 6, and the sand-cleaning part 41 does not separate from the arc groove part 29. The sand-cleaning part 41 seals the upper part of the sand storage cavity 6 to prevent sand particles from falling into the sand storage cavity 6. During the rotation, the sand-cleaning part 41 squeezes the sand particles in the sand storage cavity 6, causing the sand particles in the sand storage cavity 6 to flow into the sand blowing cavity 7, increasing the fluidity of the sand particles. As the baffle part 42 rotates, the connecting channel between the sand storage cavity 6 and the sand blowing cavity 7 continuously increases, so that the bottom space of the sand storage cavity 6 and the sand blowing cavity 7 become one. Combined with the sand-cleaning part 41 squeezing the sand particles and causing the sand particles to flow, and with the rotation of the sand stirrer 12, the connecting channel between the sand storage cavity 6 and the sand blowing cavity 7 is quickly cleared, eliminating the blockage problem and reducing the use and maintenance cost of the sand spreader. After the blockage is cleared, the sand-cleaning block 4 is rotated in the opposite direction to reset.

The first sandblasting nozzle 21 is located on the second sandblasting nozzle 23, and the air inlet 26 is connected to both the first sandblasting nozzle 21 and the second sandblasting nozzle 23. In the process, the first sand blowing nozzle 21 blows air towards the sand blowing chamber 7, causing the sand particles in the sand blowing chamber 7 to fly up and fly towards the sand outlet chamber 8. The second sand blowing nozzle 23 blows air towards the sand outlet chamber 8, sending the raised sand particles into the sand outlet chamber 8 and into the sand outlet pipe 10 through the sand outlet port 9. The cross-sections of the first sand blowing nozzle 21 and the second sand blowing nozzle 23 are both gradually expanding structures, which can effectively reduce the flow rate of compressed air during sand stirring and sand blowing, and reduce the impact force of quartz sand on the valve body during the sand spreading process.
