The structural arrangement of the material receiving baffle 100 can better fit the smoke guide channel of the inverted trapezoidal structure.

[0029] The tail hoop 200 is installed on one end where all the material splicing baffles 100 are connected, so that the ends of all the material splicing baffles 100 can maintain a state of contacting each other, thereby allowing all the material splicing baffles 100 to maintain a fan-shaped structure.

[0030] The connecting rod 300 is configured as a curved rod-shaped structure, and its curved trajectory is adapted to the motion trajectory of the material receiving baffle 100. The connecting rod 300 passes through all the material receiving baffles 100, and the material receiving baffles 100 are provided with through holes for the connecting rod 300 to pass through. Through the configuration of the connecting rod 300 and the tail hoop 200, the material receiving baffle 100 can rotate around the end where the tail hoop 200 is located and along the trajectory of the connecting rod 300.

[0031] It should be noted that the number of the material receiving baffles 100 can be set according to the number of channels of the smoke guide channel.

[0033] In this embodiment, both ends of the connecting rod 300 are threadedly connected with locking nuts 310. By providing the locking nuts 310, the material receiving blocking pieces 100 at both ends can be limited to prevent the material receiving blocking pieces 100 at both ends from being separated from the connecting rod 300.

[0034] In this embodiment, the elastic member 400 is a coil spring, which is sleeved on the connecting rod 300, and the two ends of the coil spring respectively abut against the material receiving blocking pieces 100 on both sides. In fact, the elastic member 400 can also be a compression spring with a sheet structure, as long as it can apply elastic force between the two material receiving blocking pieces 100.
