Figure 6 As shown, wheel racks 60 are arrayed on the rotating shaft 61 , and blades 62 are provided between adjacent wheel racks 60 . There are multiple groups of blades 62 that are evenly arrayed on the edge of the wheel rack 60 .

[0038] As an implementation method in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the assembly of the filter element 7 and the impeller 6 on the bottom cover 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, a positioning plug 33 is provided on the tray 32, and the positioning plug 33 is adapted to the inner periphery of the filter element 7. The top end of the positioning plug 33 is truncated cone-shaped, and a rotation groove 34 is provided on the top surface of the positioning plug 33, and the rotation groove 34 is adapted to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 61.

[0039] As an implementation method in this embodiment, in order to support the tray 32, as shown in FIG. Figure 4As shown, there are three groups of internal dirt removal ports 30 in a circular array.

Figure 5 As shown, a shift bar 51 is provided at the bottom of the rotary cover 5 , and there are three groups of shift bars 51 arranged in a circular array along the radial direction of the rotary cover 5 .

[0042] Working principle of this utility model: when the air filter is working normally, the air inlet valve 11 and the air outlet valve 22 are opened, the vent valve 23 is closed, the outer dirt removal port 50 on the rotary cover 5 is misaligned with the inner dirt removal port 30 on the bottom cover 3, the inner dirt removal port 30 is closed, and the air to be filtered enters the housing 1 from the air inlet pipe 10. Since the bottom of the filter element 7 is supported and blocked by the tray 32, the air will be filtered by the filter element 7 and enter the inner periphery of the filter element 7. The impurities and dirt in the air are adsorbed on the outside of the filter element 7. The filtered air enters the exhaust bin 2 and then exits from the exhaust bin 2. The air is discharged from the outlet pipe 20. As the air filter is used for a longer time, more impurities and dirt are adsorbed on the filter element 7, and the filtering effect of the air filter is reduced. At this time, the air filter is cleaned, the air inlet valve 11 and the air outlet valve 22 are closed, the vent valve 23 is opened, and the rotary cover 5 is rotated using the dial 51 to align the outer dirt removal port 50 with the inner dirt removal port 30 to open the inner dirt removal port 30. Then, the motor 4 is started to drive the impeller 6 to rotate through the rotating shaft 61. The multiple wheel frames 60 can enhance the stability of the blades 62. The wheel 6 drives the blades 62 to rotate, sucking air from the vent pipe 21 and discharging it to the surroundings after passing through the exhaust chamber 2. When the air discharged to the surroundings by the impeller 6 passes through the filter element 7, the impurities and dirt adhering to the outside of the filter element 7 are blown off, and then the impurities and dirt are discharged from the internal decontamination port 30 with the air flow, thereby cleaning the filter element 7. After cleaning, rotate the rotary cover 5 again to close the internal decontamination port 30, close the vent valve 23, open the air inlet valve 11 and the air outlet valve 22, and the air filter can work normally again; if the filter needs to be replaced, When replacing the filter element 7, the bottom cover 3 is removed, and the filter element 7 is supported by the tray 32 and falls down. Then the old filter element 7 is removed from the positioning plug 33 and replaced with a new filter element 7. Then the bottom cover 3 is installed to the bottom of the housing 1. At this time, the pillar 31 supports the tray 32, the tray 32 supports the filter element 7, the positioning plug 33 positions the filter element 7, and the tray 32 and the top of the housing 1 clamp and fix the filter element 7, thereby completing the replacement of the filter element 7. During this process, the bottom end of the rotating shaft 61 is inserted into the rotating groove 34, and the rotating shaft 61 is positioned from the bottom.
