The moving tube 42 overcomes the spring movement, and the brush 432 of the rotating tube 43 moves to the bottom of the close-range detection camera 1. The gas blows the wind paddles 431, the rotating tube 43 rotates, and the brush 432 cleans the crack. When the gas is not ventilated, the rotating tube 43 stops rotating. The rotating tube 43 is pressed away from the bottom of the close-range detection camera 1 by the spring, and the close-range detection camera 1 is moved vertically to make the close-range detection camera 1 contact the crack.

[0021] In this scheme, an impurity cleaning section is set, and ventilation is performed through the air pump 5. The gas enters the first fixed tube 41, pushes the retaining ring 421 on the mobile tube 42, overcomes the tension of the spring, and moves the mobile tube 42. The rotating tube 43 at the end of the mobile tube 42 is moved to the middle position of the cleaning chamber 31, that is, below the close-range detection camera 1.
