[0037] Optionally, the detection material correction mechanism includes: two groups of telescopic rods 12, the fixed ends of the telescopic rods 12 are fixedly mounted on the right end inner wall of a cavity 13 provided at the bottom end of a cleaning box 11, and the output end of the telescopic rods 12 is movably connected to a toothed disc 14, the upper and lower ends of the toothed disc 14 are flat-keyed with a gear 15, the gear 15 is fixedly mounted on a rotating shaft 16, and the left end of the rotating shaft 16 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 13, the right end of the rotating shaft 16 passes through the cavity 13 and is connected to a driving assembly, and a correction assembly is provided on the left side of the toothed disc 14.

Therefore, it is necessary to effectively clean the detection material 7 before shooting. When the detection material 7 needs to be cleaned, the drive motor 17 and the hair dryer are first started. The rotation of the drive motor 17 drives the threaded rod 26 fixedly connected to it to rotate.
