Under the impact of water, the plug 451 and the fixed plate 452 are pressed down, so that the plug 451 blocks the drain port 441 of the fixed cylinder 44, and the water enters the elastic sheet 46 to make the fixed cylinder 44 The bent state is changed into a vertical state, and at the same time, the slider 471 moves along the guide rail 47 to stretch the tension spring 472, and the cleaning ring 48 on the elastic sheet 46 is moved to the root of the elastic sheet 46. The output shaft of the driving motor 41 drives the rotating drum 42 and the fixed drum 44 to rotate, and the inner wall of the feed hopper of the filling equipment is cleaned by the brush 461 on the elastic sheet 46. At the same time, water is sprayed toward the inner wall of the feed hopper through the nozzle 49 on the rotating drum 42, and the sewage is discharged through the drain pipe at the bottom of the feed hopper; After the cleaning of the inner wall of the feed hopper is completed, the drive motor 41 and the water pump are turned off, and the nozzle 49 discharges the water on the upper part of the rotating drum 42. At this time, the plug 451 is subjected to a smaller water gravity. Under the elastic force of the spring 455 on the slide bar 453, the plug 451 moves upward, and the drain port 441 at the bottom of the fixed drum 44 is opened, so that the remaining water in the elastic sheet 46 is discharged from the drain port 441. Then, under the elastic force of the elastic sheet 46 itself, the elastic sheet 46 bends on the outside of the fixed drum 44. At the same time, under the tension of the tension spring 472, the cleaning ring 48 moves along the elastic sheet 46 to clean the impurities remaining on the elastic sheet 46. Finally, the piston rod of the control cylinder 33 is retracted, driving the fixed cylinder 44 and the rotating cylinder 42 to move upward out of the feed hopper, thus completing the cleaning of the feed hopper.

[0027] The above-described embodiments of the present invention do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.
