Several rake nails are installed on the lifting belt of the feeder, which can effectively drive the material to rise and prevent the material from sliding down and blocking.

[0039] Step S2: Start the cleaning mechanism to clean the residue on the surface of the rake nails

[0040] Start the pneumatic motor 4. The pneumatic motor 4 can drive the active pulley 6 connected to its output end to rotate, and then drive the two driven pulleys 7 to rotate through the main belt teeth 8, so that the tension pulley 9 and the plurality of rotating pulleys 13 can be driven to rotate through the auxiliary belt teeth 10 meshing with the driven pulley 7. In the process of the driven pulley 7 and the plurality of rotating pulleys 13 rotating, the cleaning steel brush 12 connected to them through the rotating shaft also rotates accordingly. At the same time, start the lifting belt of the feeder so that the rake nail can pass through the cleaning channel between two adjacent cleaning steel brushes 12, and clean the residual materials on the surface of the rake nail under the action of the rotational friction between the cleaning steel brush 12 and the surface of the rake nail until all the rake nails are cleaned;

[0041] Step S3: Close the cleaning mechanism and return it to its original position

At the same time, the air source is no longer introduced into the telescopic cylinder 2, and the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 2 retracts, driving the cleaning mechanism to move away from the feeder lifting belt, that is, to move back in the direction of the fixed bracket 1. The cleaning mechanism leaves the cleaning area so as not to affect the subsequent normal operation of the feeder lifting belt.
