The top of the connecting tube 301 is rotatably connected to the switching sleeve 302, and a gear 303 is fixed to the outside of the switching sleeve 302. A tooth plate 304 is provided on one side of the gear 303. The top of the switching sleeve 302 is rotatably connected to the fixed sleeve 30 5, and through holes 306 are provided at both ends of the bottom of the fixed sleeve 305 and the top of the switching sleeve 302. The fixed sleeve 305 is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 203, and the rotating seat 203 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 301, and the connecting pipe 301 is connected to the fixed pipe 205. The gear 303 contacts the tooth plate 304, thereby driving the switching sleeve 302 to rotate half a circle, so that the switching sleeve 302 is connected to the other side of the fixed sleeve 305, thereby switching the working state. A partition 307 is arranged inside the fixed sleeve 305, and a first diverter pipe 308 is connected to one side of the fixed sleeve 305, and a vacuum generator is arranged at one end of the first diverter pipe 308. 309.
