[0016] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The preferred embodiments described are only examples. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0017] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the specific embodiment adopts the following technical solution: it includes a cyclone tube body 1; an air inlet pipe 2 is provided through the side wall of the cyclone tube body 1, an air outlet pipe 3 is provided through the top of the cyclone tube body 1, and an ash hopper 4 is provided through the bottom of the cyclone tube body 1. It also includes: The two fixed rings 5 ​​are fixed at equal intervals on the outer ring wall of the cyclone tube body 1 using brackets, and several mounting blocks 6 are fixed at equal intervals on the fixed rings 5. The fixed rings 5 ​​play a positioning role. The pneumatic hammer 7, several of which are bolted to the mounting block 6, and the output end of the pneumatic hammer 7 is set to abut against the annular wall of the cyclone tube. The pneumatic hammer 7 is connected to an external power source. The pneumatic hammer 7 is used to hammer the annular wall of the cyclone tube body 1. The dust deposited in the cyclone tube body 1 is shaken off by pulse vibration, so as to prevent the deposited dust from clogging the cyclone tube body 1. The air booster duct 8 is installed on the top surface of the air inlet duct 2 and is inclined from the upper left to the lower right. The top of the air booster duct 8 is connected to an external air pump. The air pump delivers gas to the air inlet duct 2 through the air booster duct 8, thereby increasing the airflow speed in the air inlet duct 2 and accelerating the efficiency of shaking off dust into the dust collection hopper 4. A filter screen 21 is fixed on the inner wall of the bottom end of the air booster duct 8 and is located below the sealing plate 9 to prevent impurities in the gas in the air inlet duct 2 from entering the air booster duct 8 and causing blockage of the air booster duct 8. The sealing plate 9 is slidably disposed on the air inlet pipe 2 and is movably disposed inside the air booster pipe 8. The sealing plate 9 is engaged with the inner wall of the air booster pipe 8 and the connection state between the air booster pipe 8 and the air inlet pipe 2 can be adjusted by moving the sealing plate 9. An electric push rod 10 is fixed on the air inlet pipe 2. The output end of the electric push rod 10 is connected to the sealing plate 9. The electric push rod 10 is connected to an external power source and controls the movement of the sealing plate 9. A timing sensor 20 is fixed on the annular wall of the cyclone pipe body 1. The timing sensor 20 is electrically connected to the pneumatic hammer 7 and the electric push rod 10 to facilitate automatic cleaning of dust inside the cyclone pipe body 1 at regular intervals. The bottom of the ash hopper 4 is provided with a splitting component 11, which includes: A sealing cover 12 is provided at the bottom opening of the ash hopper 4. The sealing cover 12 is engaged with the bottom of the ash hopper 4 and blocks the bottom opening of the ash hopper 4. A sealing ring 18 is fixed on the top surface of the sealing cover 12 and engages with the inner wall of the ash hopper 4 to improve the sealing performance between the sealing cover 12 and the ash hopper 4. Adjusting rod 13, several of the aforementioned adjusting rods 13 are screwed onto the outer ring wall of the ash hopper 4 at equal angles using a shaft seat. The bottom end of the adjusting rod 13 is fixed with an abutting block 14. The abutting block 14 is set to abut against the sealing cover 12. The position of the abutting block 14 is controlled by the adjusting rod 13, which facilitates the installation or removal of the sealing cover 12. Adjusting blocks 15, several of the aforementioned adjusting blocks 15 are fixed to the top of the adjusting rod 13, and adjusting holes 16 are provided through the adjusting blocks 15. The adjusting blocks 15 control the rotation direction of the adjusting rod 13. The rotating ring 17 is screwed to the ash hopper 4 using a bearing. Several protrusions 22 are fixed at equal angles on the rotating ring 17. The protrusions 22 are slidably set with the adjustment hole 16. The rotating ring 17 drives the protrusions 22 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation of the adjustment block 15. The top of the protrusion 22 is fixed with an abutment ring 19. The abutment ring 19 is set to abut against the adjustment rod 13 to facilitate the restriction of the abutment block 14 on the rotating ring 17.

[0018] When using this utility model, gas is guided into the cyclone tube body 1 through the air inlet pipe 2. The spiral blades inside the cyclone tube body 1 separate the dust from the gas, allowing the gas to pass through the blowing pipe and the dust to fall into the dust collection hopper 4. Then, the electric push rod 10 and the pneumatic hammer 7 are activated at regular intervals by the timing sensor 20. The pneumatic hammer 7 vibrates and hammers the annular wall of the cyclone tube body 1, shaking off the dust deposited on the inner wall of the cyclone tube body 1. Afterwards, the closing plate 9 is moved by the electric push rod 10, so that the closing plate 9 moves out of the air booster pipe 8, so that the air booster pipe 8 is connected to the air inlet pipe 2. With the help of an external air pump, gas is delivered into the air inlet pipe 2, increasing the gas flow rate in the air inlet pipe 2, thereby improving the gas flow in the cyclone tube body 1 and accelerating the efficiency of dust falling into the dust collection hopper 4. In addition, the operator drives the protrusion 22 to rotate by rotating the ring 17. The protrusion 22 drives the adjusting rod 13 to rotate through the adjusting block 15. The adjusting rod 13 drives the abutment block 14 to rotate until the abutment block 14 separates from the sealing cover 12. The operator then removes the sealing cover 12 from the bottom of the ash hopper 4 to facilitate cleaning of the ash hopper 4.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: The dust inside the cyclone tube body 1 is shaken off by the hammering vibration of the pneumatic hammer 7. Then, the air inlet pipe 2 is increased by the air inlet pipe 8, thereby increasing the air inlet pipe body 1 and speeding up the efficiency of dropping the dust into the dust collection hopper 4. The split assembly 11 is set up, and the rotating ring 17 cooperates with the protrusion 22 to control the rotation of the adjusting block 15 and the adjusting rod 13, thereby controlling the contact state between the contact block 14 and the sealing cover 12, so as to facilitate the installation or removal of the sealing cover 12 and the cleaning of the inside of the ash hopper 4. A contact ring 19 is provided to restrict the adjusting block 15 on the rotating ring 17, thereby preventing the protrusion 22 from dislodging from the adjusting hole 16. A timing sensor 20 is installed to facilitate the periodic activation of the pneumatic hammer 7 and the electric push rod 10, so as to clean the dust inside the cyclone tube body 1 in a timely manner.

[0020] For those skilled in the art, modifications can be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, and equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
