The invention discloses a small-sized, low-position sand return machine which can meet the equipment miniaturization requirement of a steel wire cord quenching and fluidizing particle furnace, comprising a machine body, wherein a sand return pipe is arranged on either side of the inner cavity of the machine body, the top of the sand return pipe is communicated with the inner cavity of a furnace body, a sand return cover is arranged at the bottom of the sand return pipe, a fluidizing pipe is arranged below the sand return cover, a middle sand return pipe is also disposed in the middle of the inner cavity of the machine body, the top of the middle sand return pipe is respectively communicated with the sand return pipe on either side, a sand return cover is arranged at the bottom of the middle sand return pipe, and a fluidizing pipe is mounted below the sand return cover. The low-position sand return machine returns the sand from the middle of the inner cavity of the machine body back tothe both sides by adding the middle sand return pipe and a sand draining pipe, so that the height of the sand return machine is unnecessary to be very high, thereby the size of the sand return machine can be greatly reduced so as to meet the need of equipment miniaturization.
