[0038] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0039] The mixing chamber 11 is pushed into the furnace body 6, where it fits against the baffle 13.

When it is necessary to discharge the mixing chamber 11, the electric push rod 9 is started. The output end of the electric push rod 9 drives the linkage plate 8 to move. Through the sliding connection between the linkage plate 8 and the linkage groove 7, the linkage plate 8 drives the mixing chamber 11 to move, causing the mixing chamber 11 to detach from the furnace body 6.
