[0026] The free end of the sliding block 9 is a strong magnet, and the strong magnet of the free end of the sliding block 9 repels the electromagnet 13 during the process of being close to the electromagnet 13 after the electromagnet 13 is electrified, so that the sliding block 9 compresses the spring 10 and retracts into the sliding block 9 cavity, thereby disengaging the limiting of the annular block 4.
[0027] The center block 6 is made of soft magnetic material, which can be pure iron (soft iron), silicon steel (electrical steel), nickel-iron alloy, cobalt-based alloy, iron-aluminum alloy, iron-silicon-aluminum alloy, etc. The center block 6 is made of soft magnetic material, and the magnetic property of the center block 6 will disappear quickly after the installation of the filter screen 5, so as not to affect other components.
[0028] The ring block 4 and the connecting block 7 are made of aluminum, and can also be made of copper, ceramic or plastic that can withstand high temperature and other suitable magnetic transparent materials.
