The invention relates to an electrochemical descaling device containing a parallel scraper. The electrochemical descaling device comprises a main driving gear 1, a driving motor 2, a driving shaft 3, a scraper fixing frame 4, an anode plate 5, a cathode plate 6, a scraper 7, a main driving frame 8, an upper driving gear 9, a chain 10, a rack 11, a sliding gear 12, a lower driving gear 13, a sliding rod 14, a connecting rod 15, and an infrared sensor 16, wherein a linkage mechanism drives the scraper 7 to go across the surface of the surface of the cathode plate 6, so as to remove scale adhered onto the surface of the cathode plate 6; the infrared sensor 16 senses the distance between the infrared sensor 16 and the main driving frame 8; when the main driving frame 8 approaches the infrared sensor 16, the driving motor 2 can perform contrarotation, and the scraper 7 can go across the surface of the cathode plate 6 in the opposite direction. The electrochemical descaling device adopts the scraper which is parallel with the cathode plates and slides back and forth, improves the descaling efficiency, and enhances the reliability of a mechanical structure.
