[0031] When the screening of the metal powder is completed, the bolts are turned to release the connection between the mounting block 22 and the mixing drum 2, and then the two limit plates 23 are lifted upwards, so that the screening plate 6 can filter out the large-particle metal powder on the screening plate 6, collect and process these large-particle metal powders, and clean the screening plate 6 at the same time. After the cleaning work is completed, the mounting block 22 and the mixing drum 2 are connected by bolts, so that the device can easily remove large-particle metal powder and clean the screening plate 6, thereby improving the working efficiency of the device.
