[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model: shock-absorbing feet are installed on the outer bottom of the chassis.

[0009] By adopting the above technical scheme, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model has a simple structure and an ingenious design. The forward and reverse motors are arranged to drive the threaded rod to rotate, thereby driving the slider sleeved on the threaded rod to move up and down along the threaded rod. In the process of the slider driving the cleaning tube to move, the water in the water tank enters the cleaning tube through the elastic hose, and then is sprayed onto the ice grid through the water spray holes on the cleaning tube, so that the ice grid is thoroughly rinsed and cleaned. It is simple, efficient and highly practical. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
