[0017] Figure 3 It is an exploded view of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the utility model includes a tube body 1, a vortex generator 2, an air intake joint 3 and an adjusting device, the vortex generator 2 is arranged at one end of the tube body 1, the vortex generator 2 is connected to the tube body 1, the air intake joint 3 is connected to the vortex generator 2, and the adjusting device is arranged at the other end of the tube body 1.
[0019] In this embodiment, the vortex tube further includes an air outlet connector 14 , and the air outlet connector 14 is connected to the tube body 1 .
[0020] In this embodiment, the air inlet connector 3 is used for the input of compressed air. Under the action of the vortex generator 2, a vortex effect is generated, thereby separating cold and hot air flows. The cold air flow is output from the air outlet connector 14, and the hot air flow is output from the other end of the tube body 1.
[0021] In this embodiment, the adjusting device includes a sleeve 4 and an adjusting rod 5. One end of the sleeve 4 is threadedly connected to the other end of the tube body 1 for easy disassembly and assembly.
