[0022] In this embodiment, it should be noted that:

[0023] 1. An air compressor and a solenoid valve (not shown in the figure) are also installed inside the control box 6. The air compressor compresses air to form an airflow, which is injected into the solenoid valve through the air pipe. The solenoid valve controls the flow direction of the gas. After the solenoid valve diverts the gas, it is connected to the corresponding air pipe joint 7 through the air pipe. The air pipe 1 47 and the air pipe 2 48 are connected in series with the air pipe joint 7. The air is controlled to enter the air pipe 1 47, so that the pneumatic stirring pump 46 can work.
