After the vacuum pump 3 provides a negative pressure environment for the inside of the cyclone separator 1, the external material is sucked into the inside of the cyclone separator 1 through the suction pipe 2 for separation and removal. Two fixed side blocks 5 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the suction pipe 2, and a slidable movable separation frame 8 is provided at one end of the suction pipe 2. The cross section of the movable separation frame 8 is a circular ring. A limiting frame 9 for separating the space is fixedly installed inside the movable separation frame 8.
