[0024] The hand cone sleeve part 30 of the cleaning assembly 2 has a stirring station 15 and a replacement station 16; At the stirring station 15, the finger portion 31 rotates in the circular box to wrap around corn silk or corn leaves; At the replacement station 16, the hand cone sleeve 30 is replaced. It can realize the overall removal of the wound hair, centralized processing, and improve efficiency.

[0025] The carrier storage assembly 1 includes a carrier base 3; a rotating spindle assembly 4 is horizontally mounted on the carrier base 3; and a carrier rotating disk 5 is disposed at the end of the rotating spindle assembly 4; A plurality of carrier clamps 6 are distributed on the vertical surface of the carrier rotating disk 5; The carrier clamp is divided into 6 equal parts.

[0026] The carrier clamp 6 corresponds to the rotating cone shaft portion 32 ; the number of the carrier clamp 6 is an integral multiple of the number of the rotating cone shaft portions 32 , thereby realizing automatic overall removal and replacement, and the degree of automation is high.

[0027] In order to realize automatic removal and replacement, and provide clamping force and release, a tapered shaft portion 7 is provided on the carrier rotating disk 5; the carrier clamp 6 includes a tapered sleeve 8 mounted on the tapered shaft portion 7; and a lateral through groove 10 is provided on the outer side wall of the tapered sleeve 8; An elastic key 11 is provided in the lateral through slot 10; In order to achieve fixation, the end of the tapered shaft portion 7 has a threaded hole, in which a front top nut head 9 of a fastening cone sleeve 8 is connected.

[0028] The finger portion 31 may be made of rubber, and may have structures such as wrinkles, grooves, or burrs on the finger portion 31, so as to facilitate the winding of longer hairs.

[0029] In order to clean the hair, the robot arm includes a cleaning frame group 12; an inclined base 13 is arranged at the end of the robot arm of the cleaning frame group 12; and rotation is achieved.

[0030] As a basic structure, a rotary manipulator 14 is rotatably mounted on an oblique end of an oblique base 13 ; and a tapered shaft portion 32 is distributed on an end surface of the rotary manipulator 14 .

[0031] The rear end of the hand cone sleeve portion 30 is sleeved on the cone shaft portion 32; The front end of the hand cone sleeve 30 exposes the cone shaft 32; The fastening cone sleeve 8 is used to be inserted into the front section of the hollow inner hole 33 of the hand cone sleeve portion 30 .

[0032] The front section of the elastic key 11 is lower than the outer end of the lateral through slot 10 and the middle section to the rear section of the elastic key 11 gradually exposes the outer end of the lateral through slot 10; The outer wall of the elastic key 11 is used to be in pressure contact with the inner wall of the hollow inner hole 33 of the hand cone sleeve 30 .
