An inner mesh frame 3 and an outer mesh frame 4 are provided between the lower end cover 2 and the upper end cover 1. A single-layer filter element 5 arranged at the top and a double-layer filter element 6 arranged at the bottom are provided between the outer mesh frame 4 and the inner mesh frame 3. An air inlet 7 is provided on the upper end cover 1. A reversing valve core 100 that moves axially is slidably connected in the inner mesh frame 3. The reversing valve core 100 includes an upper baffle plate 8 and a lower baffle plate 9. A support rib 10 is connected between the lower baffle plate 9 and the upper baffle plate 8. An air inlet pipe 11 extending out of the air inlet is connected to the upper baffle plate 8.

By axially moving the reversing valve core 100, the turbid air flowing out of the reversing valve core 100 can be filtered by filter elements at different settings. When the positioning protrusion is embedded in the upper positioning hole, the turbid air flowing out of the reversing valve core passes through the inner mesh frame 3 and is directly sent to the single-layer filter element 5 for filtration; when the positioning protrusion is embedded in the lower positioning hole, the turbid air flowing out of the reversing valve core passes through the inner mesh frame 3 and is directly sent to the double-layer filter element 6 for filtration.
