The filter screen 6 will filter the impurities in the water body. At the same time, the driving motor 3 drives the active shaft 25 to rotate at a low speed. The active shaft 25 drives the support shaft 9 to rotate. The support shaft 9 drives the external scraper 8 to rotate on the inner wall of the filter screen 6 to scrape the scale on the filter screen 6 to prevent the scale from being stationary in the filter screen 6 for a long time, causing the scale to adhere to the filter screen 6. When it is necessary to replace the scraper 8 and further clean the filter screen 6, remove the bolts and nuts, and then connect the upper shell 1 with The lower shell 4 is separated, and then the pull block 30 is pulled upward.

The first spring 26 is compressed so that the cross block 22 on the other side of the support shaft 9 can be inserted into the cross slot 21 on the block 24, and the block 24 is released. The first spring 26 is reset so that the block 24 is in contact with the end of the support shaft 9, and the cross block 22 enters the cross slot 21. The pull block 30 is then released and the second spring 33 is reset. The second spring 33 pushes the locking block 34 from the countersunk hole 31 into the blind hole 23 on the cross block 22. The upper shell 1 is then combined with the lower shell 4, and then fixed with bolts and nuts.
