[0030] It can be understood that the utility model facilitates the discharge of the vortex formed at the rear of the cab through the provision of the second air duct 6, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 7 drives the fan blades 8 to rotate, thereby assisting in the discharge of the vortex formed at the rear of the cab. The provision of the first air duct 2 can discharge more vortices, and the provision of the filter plate 9 can filter the air when it enters the air. The movement of the adjusting plate 16 drives the block 17 to move, so that the block 17 moves into the interior of the card slot 10, thereby limiting and fixing the position of the filter plate 9.

[0031] Furthermore, guide grooves 18 are equidistantly provided inside the fixing frame 3 , and the first air duct 2 is connected to the second air duct 6 via the guide grooves 18 .

[0032] It can be understood that, in the present invention, the provision of the guide groove 18 facilitates more eddies to enter the interior of the second air duct 6 and facilitates the discharge of the eddies.

[0033] Furthermore, a driving motor 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 4 , and an output end of the driving motor 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7 .

[0034] It can be understood that, in the present invention, the driving motor 5 drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate.

[0037] Furthermore, a limiting slide bar 14 is fixedly connected to the interior of the storage groove 13 , and the adjustment plate 16 is slidably connected to the limiting slide bar 14 . A return spring 15 is sleeved on the outer side of the limiting slide bar 14 and on one side of the adjustment plate 16 .

[0038] It can be understood that, in the present invention, the movement of the adjustment plate 16 is limited by the setting of the limiting slide bar 14 , and the adjustment plate 16 is driven to move and reset by the setting of the reset spring 15 .

[0039] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to the outer side of the filter plate 9 , and a push block 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the adjustment plate 16 .

[0040] It can be understood that, in the present invention, the push block 11 drives the adjustment plate 16 to move.
