The interior of the body 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 51, and an interior of the mounting base 51 is slidably connected to the filter stand 52. The filter stand 52 is fixedly connected to the filter net 53, and the filter stand 52 is fixedly connected to the handle 54. By means of the handle 54, it is convenient for a user to take out the filter stand 52 to facilitate cleaning of the filter net 53. An interior of the filter stand 52 is slidably connected to the plug 55, the plug 55 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 56, and the connecting rod 56 is slidably connected to the body 1. The pressing block 57 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 56, the pressing block 57 is slidably connected to the body 1, and the interior of the body 1 is provided with the spring 58. By means of elastic force of the spring 58, the connecting rod 56 is pushed to drive the plug 55 to insert into the filter stand 52, making it easier to fix the filter stand 52. One end of the spring 58 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 56, and other end of the spring 58 is fixedly connected to the body 1. By means of the filtering mechanism 5, the poured coolant may be filtered to prevent the impurities in the coolant from blocking the pipelines.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the moving mechanism 6 includes a motor 61, a rotation shaft 62, a first bevel gear 63, a second bevel gear 64, a threaded rod 65, a moving plate 66, and a moving wheel 67. The interior of the body 1 is fixedly connected to the motor 61, and an output end of the motor 61 is fixedly connected to the rotation shaft 62. The rotation shaft 62 is fixedly connected to the first bevel gear 63, and the first bevel gear 63 is meshed with the second bevel gear 64. An interior of the second bevel gear 64 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 65, and the threaded rod 65 is connected to the body 1 through a bearing. An outer side of the threaded rod 65 is connected to the moving plate 66 through a screw thread.

By means of the moving mechanism 6, it is convenient for the user to lower the moving wheel 67 during transportation, to facilitate the user to move the device.

Specific implementation processes of the present disclosure are as follows. By means of the filtering mechanism 5, the poured coolant may be filtered to prevent the impurities in the coolant from blocking the pipelines. When the filter net 53 filters too much impurities, the pressing blocks 57 on two sides may be pressed down, allowing the pressing blocks 57 to drive the connecting rod 56 to move while the spring 58 is compressed, such that the connecting rod 56 drives the plug 55 to detach from the filter stand 52. By using the handle 54, the user can easily take out the filter stand 52 to clean the filter net 53, thereby maintaining filtering efficiency of the filter net 53. After the cleaning, the filter stand 52 is inserted back into the mounting base 51, and the pressing blocks 57 are released. Under the elastic force of the spring 58, the spring 58 may push the connecting rod 56, such that the connecting rod 56 drives the plug 55 to insert into the filter stand 52. In this way, fixing of the filter stand 52 is completed. When it is required to move the distribution device, the motor 61 is started to drive the rotation shaft 62 on the output end of the motor 61 to rotate, such that the rotation shaft 62 drives the second bevel gear 64 hinged to the first bevel gear 63 to rotate, which causes the threaded rod 65 to carry out threaded motion with respect to the moving plate 66, causing the moving plate 66 to drive the moving wheel 67 to move and thus the moving wheel 67 is lowered, making it easier for the user to move the device. After the device is moved, the motor 61 is started to inversely rotate and retract the moving plate 66, which allows a bottom of the body 1 to touch the ground, increasing a contact area between the bottom of the body 1 and the ground, and thus ensuring the device to be placed more stably.
