[0022] The most critical concept of the present invention is that: through the stepper motor 6, the roller 5 and the second cleaning component 4, the second cleaning component 4 is used to clean the inner surface of the lampshade 2; through the stepper motor 6, the roller 5, the pull rope 7, the slider 8, the slide groove 9 and the first cleaning component 3, the first cleaning component 3 is used to stably clean the outer surface of the lampshade 2 for the first time; when the slider 8 slides to a position close to the through hole 10, the stepper motor 6 stops rotating, and the slider 8 is reset by the spring 12 and the baffle 11, thereby achieving the secondary cleaning of the outer surface of the lampshade 2; in addition, the limiting plates 26 arranged on both sides of the slide groove 9 play a role in limiting the spring 12 to prevent the spring 12 from deviating during the movement of the slider 8 along the length direction of the slide groove 9; the present invention automatically cleans the inside and outside surfaces of the lampshade 2, and only uses one stepper motor 6 and spring 12 to clean the inside and outside surfaces of the lampshade 2, with low energy consumption.

[0023] An automatic cleaning automobile headlamp comprises a lamp housing 1 with a bulb therein and a lampshade 2 connected to the lamp housing 1, and further comprises a first cleaning component 3, a second cleaning component 4, a roller 5, a bearing (not shown in the figure) and a stepping motor 6, wherein the bearing is connected to one side of the lamp housing 1, one end of the second cleaning component 4 is in close contact with the inner surface of the lampshade 2, one end of the roller 5 is connected to the other end of the second cleaning component 4 through the bearing, the rotating shaft of the stepping motor 6 is connected to the other end of the roller 5, a pull rope 7 is wound around the roller 5, and one end of the pull rope 7 is connected to the roller 5 Fixedly connected, the first cleaning component 3 is in close contact with the outer surface of the lampshade 2, one end of the first cleaning component 3 is detachably connected with a slider 8, a slide groove 9 is opened around the edge of the lampshade 2 on the lamp housing 1, the slider 8 is slidably connected to the slide groove 9, a through hole 10 is opened on one side of the bottom of the slide groove 9 for the other end of the pull rope 7 to pass through, the other end of the pull rope 7 is connected to one end of the slider 8, a baffle 11 is connected to the other side of the bottom of the slide groove 9, a spring 12 is connected between the baffle 11 and the other end of the slider 8, and limit plates 26 are arranged on both sides of the slide groove 9.

[0024] As can be seen from the above description, when the lampshade 2 needs to be cleaned, the stepper motor 6 connected to the other end of the roller 5 by starting the rotating shaft works, and the stepper motor 6 drives the roller 5 to rotate and reel in the pull rope 7. The rotation of the roller 5 drives the second cleaning component 4 connected to one end of the roller 5 through the bearing, so that the second cleaning component 4 rotates and contacts with the inner surface of the lampshade 2 in one direction, thereby realizing the cleaning of the inner surface of the lampshade 2 by the second cleaning component 4; at the same time, the roller 5 reels in the pull rope 7 fixedly connected to the roller 5 at one end, thereby driving the slider 8 connected to the other end of the pull rope 7 at one end to move toward the through hole 10, thereby realizing the movement of the first cleaning component 3; the slider 8 slides in the slide groove 9 opened around the edge of the lampshade 2 along the lamp housing 1, so that the slider 8 can be driven The first cleaning component 3 is driven to move along the length direction of the slide groove 9, thereby achieving the effect of driving the first cleaning component 3 to stably clean the outer surface of the lampshade 2; when the slider 8 slides to a position close to the through hole 10, the stepper motor 6 stops rotating, and under the elastic force of the spring 12 connected between the baffle 11 and the other end of the slider 8, the slider 8 is reset to achieve the effect of secondary cleaning of the outer surface of the lampshade 2; in addition, the limiting plates 26 arranged on both sides of the slide groove 9 play a role in limiting the spring 12, preventing the spring 12 from deviating during the movement of the slider 8 along the length direction of the slide groove 9; the present invention automatically cleans the interior and exterior surfaces of the lampshade 2, and only uses one stepper motor 6 and spring 12 to clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the lampshade 2, with low energy consumption.
