[0024] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 1 is that when the device is used, the automation system is mainly composed of a hopper 1, a photoelectric sensor 2, a PLC cabinet 3, a solenoid valve 4, a gas tank 5, an air disc 6, a vent pipe 7 and an air compressor 8. The photoelectric sensor 2 and the air disc 6 are installed in the hopper 1. When the photoelectric sensor 2 detects that a bridge occurs in the hopper 1, the PLC cabinet 3 outputs a signal to open the solenoid valve 4, and the gas tank 5 passes compressed air into the air disc 6 through the vent pipe 7. The air disc 6 expands and vibrates with the hopper 1 to complete the arch breaking and make the material fall; when the photoelectric sensor 2 detects the arch breaking, the PLC cabinet 3 outputs a signal to close the solenoid valve 4, and the gas tank 5 stops ventilating.
