A first tube body 14 and a second tube body 15 are provided horizontally on the left and right sides of the rear of the base 10 corresponding to the two mounting holes 11. The joint 13 is provided with a communicating constant pressure pipe 16 corresponding to the first tube body 14 and the second tube body 15. A plugging element P is provided at the opening outside the constant pressure pipe 16. The plugging element P is provided with two gaskets Q for sealing the opening of the constant pressure pipe 16. Two pressure relief holes 17 are provided at the two mounting holes 11 corresponding to the first tube body 14 and the second tube body 15. A decompression chamber 18 is provided outside the pressure relief hole 17, and an air chamber 19 is provided inside the pressure relief hole 17.

[0092] The two pulse valves 20 are composed of two induction coils 21, two valve sleeves 22, two magnetic elements 23, two elastic elements S, two valve cores 24, two shaft seats 25, two valve seats 26, two diaphragms 27 and two gaskets N. The gasket N and the valve sleeve 22 are provided at the center of the induction coil 21. A shaft tube 221 is provided at the center of the valve sleeve 22 to accommodate the magnetic element 23, the elastic element S and the valve core 24. A sleeve 251 is provided at the center of the shaft seat 25 to be sleeved on the outside of the shaft tube 221. The valve seat 26 is made of a soft material. The valve seat 26 is made of a material. A hook-shaped fastening element 261 is provided at the center of the valve seat 26. A hook-shaped throttling element 262 is provided on one side of the valve seat 26. The periphery of the diaphragm 27 is mounted on the inner step 12 of the mounting hole 11. The diaphragm 27 is made of a soft material.
