[0030] The driving device includes: a power box 9, which is installed on the outer wall of the air outlet pipe 5. A gear 10 is installed inside the power box 9. One end of the first rotating shaft 11 is connected to the gear 10, and the other end of the first rotating shaft 11 extends into the air outlet pipe 5 and is connected to the first bevel gear 12. A second rotating shaft 13 is installed inside the air outlet pipe 5. The second rotating shaft 13 is perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 11. The second rotating shaft 13 passes through the first fixing block 14 and is rotatably connected to the first fixing block 14. The first fixing block 14 is connected to the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 5. One end of the second rotating shaft 13 is connected to the second bevel gear 15, which meshes with the first bevel gear 12. The other end of the second rotating shaft 13 is connected to the cleaning brush 7.
[0031] A second motor 16 is installed inside the power box 9. The output shaft of the second motor 16 is connected to the cam 17. One end of the connecting rod 18 is rotatably connected to the end face of the cam 17, and a rack 19 is installed on the other end of the connecting rod 18. The rack 19 meshes with the gear 10. The circumferential outer wall of the cam 17 is composed of a first circular arc, a first inclined surface, a second circular arc, and the second inclined surface connected end to end. The diameter of the first circular arc is larger than the diameter of the second circular arc.
[0032] A second fixed block 20 is provided between the cam 17 and the gear 10. The rocker arm 21 is hinged to the second fixed block 20. One end of the rocker arm 21 is rotatably connected to a roller 22, which contacts the circumferential outer wall of the cam 17. The other end of the rocker arm 21 is hinged to one end of the moving plate 23. A limit post 24 is provided on the other end of the moving plate 23. The limit post 24 is located below the gear 10. A guide groove 25 is provided on the moving plate 23. The first rotating shaft 11 passes through the guide groove 25. A fixed post 26 is provided on the moving plate 23. One end of the swing block 27 is rotatably connected to the fixed post 26. The other end of the swing block 27 is connected to the slide bar 28. A slide groove 29 is provided on the end of the connecting rod 18 near the rack 19. The slide bar 28 is slidably connected to the slide groove 29.
[0033] The working principle and beneficial technical effects of the above technical solution are as follows: When the filter screen needs cleaning, the second motor 16 is started, driving the cam 17 to rotate. The cam 17 rolls with the roller 22. Due to the change in the diameter of the outer circumferential wall of the cam 17, the rocker arm 21 swings up and down and stops at the extreme position of the swing. The rocker arm 21 drives the moving plate 23 to move up and down and stops at the upper and lower extreme positions. At the same time, the cam 17 drives the connecting rod 18 to move, and the connecting rod 18 slides back and forth relative to the slide bar 28. When the moving plate 23 moves downward, the limiting post 24 disengages from the teeth of the gear 10 and drives the rack 19 to move downward and mesh with the gear 10. When the moving plate 23 stops at the lower extreme position, the rack 19 drives the gear 10 to rotate. Then, when the moving plate 23 moves upward, it drives the rack 19 to disengage from the gear 10, and the limiting post 24 moves upward. The limiting post 24 is locked between the teeth of the gear 10, keeping the gear 10 locked. During this period, the gear 10 cannot rotate. Through the meshing transmission of the first bevel gear 12 and the second bevel gear 15, the gear 10 correspondingly drives the cleaning brush 7 to rotate intermittently, periodically cleaning the surface of the filter screen 6, removing dust or solid particles adhering to the filter screen surface, and then discharging them after passing through the filter screen 6 with the airflow of the fan. Since the cleaning brush 7 occupies only a small area of the filter screen 6, it has little impact on the ventilation efficiency of the filter screen, ensuring the cleanliness of the filter screen while minimizing the impact on the ventilation performance of the filter screen. When the cleaning brush stops, it is locked by the limiting post 24 engaging with the gear 10, so even if the airflow in the outlet pipe is large, the cleaning brush 7 cannot move, making the cleaning brush operation more stable and reliable. When the filter screen is being cleaned, there is no need to stop the fan, which is more efficient, avoids filter screen clogging, reduces the fan load, and saves energy.
[0034] In one embodiment, the cleaning fluid delivery device includes: a storage tank 30, which is disposed on the outer wall of the air outlet pipe 5. The storage tank 30 stores cleaning fluid, and a drive pump 31 is disposed at the bottom of the storage tank 30. The output end of the drive pump 31 is connected to one end of a connecting pipe 32, and the other end of the connecting pipe 32 is connected to a nozzle 8. An inlet pipe 33 is disposed on the storage tank 30, and a cover 34 is threadedly connected to the inlet pipe 33. By opening the cover 34, cleaning fluid is added through the inlet pipe 33. A base 35 is disposed at the bottom of the outer casing 1 to provide stable support for the ventilator. A lifting ring 36 is disposed on the air outlet pipe 5 for easy lifting and transportation. The drive pump 31 can intermittently deliver cleaning fluid to the nozzle 8, and the nozzle 8 intermittently sprays cleaning fluid onto the filter screen 6. The filter screen is then efficiently cleaned by an intermittently rotating cleaning brush 7, saving the amount of cleaning fluid used and fully utilizing the cleaning effect of the cleaning fluid.
