[0028] The filter pocket 200 is in a cylindrical shape. The filter pocket 200 is arranged in the filter chamber. One end of the filter pocket 200 facing the suction channel 111 has an open opening 210. The filter pocket 200 is evenly distributed with a plurality of filter holes 220. The filter pocket 200 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 100.

[0029] The filter mesh bag 300 is arranged inside the filter pocket 200. The upper end of the filter mesh bag 300 has a bag mouth 310, and the bag mouth 310 is sleeved on the opening 210 at the upper end of the filter pocket 200.

[0030] In actual use, the suction channel 111 and the negative pressure channel 121 are respectively connected to the suction tube and the negative pressure generating element, so that a pressure difference is formed between the upper and lower ends of the filtering cavity. The attractant enters the filtering cavity from the suction channel 111 and is filtered through the filter mesh bag 300 to intercept the solid attractant, realizing solid-liquid separation. The filter pocket 200 has filter holes 220, which will not hinder the suction and can also support the filter mesh bag 300, greatly increasing the effective filtering area of the filter mesh bag 300 and reducing the frequency of cleaning and maintenance or replacement of the filter mesh bag 300.

[0031] In this embodiment, the housing 100 has a variable-diameter cylindrical shape that is thick in the middle and thin at both the upper and lower ends. Both the upper and lower ends of the housing 100 are in the shape of a circular tube. The suction tube and the negative pressure tube are connected to the suction channel 111 and the negative pressure channel 121 respectively by sleeving the upper and lower ends of the housing 100.

[0032] The housing 100 has a central axis extending vertically. Both the suction channel 111 and the negative pressure channel 121 are coaxially arranged with the central axis.

[0033] To facilitate the replacement of the filter mesh bag 300, in this embodiment, the housing 100 includes: a cup cover 110 and a cup body 120. The cup cover 110 and the cup body 120 are arranged up and down to form the filtering cavity. The cup cover 110 and the cup body 120 are detachably connected to each other. The suction channel 111 and the negative pressure channel 121 are respectively arranged on the cup cover 110 and the cup body 120. Specifically, the suction channel 111 is arranged at the upper end of the cup cover 110, and the negative pressure channel 121 is arranged at the lower end of the cup body 120.

[0034] In this embodiment, both the cup cover 110 and the cup body 120 are in the shape of a solid of revolution, or a surface of revolution. The axis of revolution of the cup cover 110 and the cup body 120 coincides with the central axis. It should be noted that: the above central axis and axis of revolution are virtual features, which are set to facilitate the accurate description of the shapes and positional relationships of the cup cover 110 and the cup body 120.

[0035] In this embodiment, both the lower end of the cup cover 110 and the upper end of the cup body 120 are in the shape of a cylindrical tube. The cup cover 110 and the cup body 120 are threadedly sleeved with each other. Specifically, the lower end of the cup cover 110 has internal threads, and the upper end of the cup body 120 has corresponding external threads. The lower end of the cup cover 110 is threadedly sleeved on the upper end of the cup body 120. By rotating the cup cover 110 and the cup body 120 relative to each other, the detachable connection between the two can be realized.

[0036] The outer side of the upper end of the filter bag 200 has a ring-shaped snap ring 230 that protrudes radially outward. The inner side of the lower end of the cup lid 110 is provided with an upper limit portion 112 that protrudes radially inward, and the inner side of the upper end of the cup body 120 is provided with a lower limit portion 122 that protrudes radially inward. When the cup lid 110 and the cup body 120 are screwed together, the upper limit portion 112 and the lower limit portion 122 are vertically aligned, and a limit gap is left between the upper limit portion 112 and the lower limit portion 122. The snap ring 230 of the filter bag 200 is embedded in the limit gap, so that the filter bag 200 is coaxially and fixedly arranged in the filtering cavity.

[0037] The upper end of the filter mesh bag 300 wraps the upper end of the filter bag 200. Referring to the attached drawings, the bag body of the filter mesh bag 300 is arranged inside the filter bag 200, and the upper end of the filter mesh bag 300 extends from the inside and wraps to the lower side of the snap ring 230 of the filter bag 200.
