The sealing plate 211 can separate the top and bottom ends of the conveying cylinder 201. During cleaning, the gas enters the mesh cylinder 203 through the air inlet hole 210, and the surface of the steel balls is preliminarily cleaned by the flowing wind. The incoming wind moves upward with the dust, passes through the mesh cylinder 203 and enters the top of the sealing plate 211 inside the conveying cylinder 201 again, and then is discharged from the equipment through the extraction device. The extraction device needs to be connected to an external negative pressure device when in use, and the device can be conveniently negatively pressurized by the set threaded groove 202.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 3-Figure 6As shown, the support frame 1 includes a plurality of connecting rings 101, the inner wall of each connecting ring 101 is sleeved on the outer surface of the conveying cylinder 201, a connecting plate 102 is arranged between each connecting ring 101, and the outer surface of each connecting plate 102 is fixedly connected with a supporting leg 104 near both ends, a reinforcing rod 103 is arranged between each supporting leg 104 located on one side, and a pad 105 is arranged between each supporting leg 104 located on one side, and both sides of one side of the connecting ring 101 near the bottom end of the conveying cylinder 201 are fixedly connected with a buckle 106, and one side of the buckle 106 is movably connected to the outer surface of the conveying cylinder 201, and the bottom end of the conveying cylinder 201 is fixedly connected with a discharge pipe 204, and the high end of the conveying cylinder 201 is fixedly connected. A feed hopper 205 is fixedly connected, and the feed hopper 205 is connected to the discharge pipe 204 and the inside of the mesh tube 203. The driving part includes a rotating motor 214. The rotating motor 214 is arranged at one end of the conveying tube 201 close to the discharge pipe 204. A motor mounting bracket 209 is installed on the outer surface of the rotating motor 214. One end of the motor mounting bracket 209 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the discharge pipe 204. The output end of the rotating motor 214 passes through the discharge pipe 204 to one end of the rotating shaft 208. Cleaning cotton 212 is installed on both sides of the surface of the auger 213. The cleaning cotton 212 is used to wipe the dust on the surface of the ball during the transportation of the steel ball. A threaded groove 202 is opened on the outer surface of the connecting tube 207 near the top.

[0030] It should be noted that, through the setting of this structure, it is possible to conveniently load materials into the feeding mechanism when the device is in use. Through the setting of the driving member, the auger 213 can be conveniently driven to facilitate the transportation of steel ball materials, and the device can provide good support stability when in use. The conveying cylinder 201 provided therein is a cleaning setting, and the conveying cylinder 201 can be clamped by the provided buckle 106 during installation to increase the operating stability of the device, and the device is provided with a cleaning cotton 212, which can make good contact with the steel ball through the auger 213 when in use, further reducing stubborn stains on the surface of the steel ball, further ensuring the use effect of the steel ball, and increasing the practicality and applicability of the device.

[0031] Working principle: When the equipment is in use, the steel balls are received by the feed hopper 205, enter the mesh tube 203, and are transported by the auger 213. The surface of the auger 213 is provided with cleaning cotton 212. The cleaning cotton 212 can be a soft structure with cleaning measures such as a cleaning cloth and a cleaning sponge. After a period of use, the cleaning cotton 212 can be replaced according to actual conditions. The stubborn stains on the surface of the steel balls are cleaned by the cleaning cloth on the surface of the auger 213. During the cleaning process, the external negative pressure device is connected through the threaded groove 202 opened at one end of the connecting pipe 207 to achieve negative pressure inside the conveying tube 201 and the mesh tube 203. , gas flow occurs, and dust is cleaned. During the cleaning process, both ends of the mesh tube 203 are affected by the auger 213, which can reduce the air intake. When negative pressure extraction is performed, the gas is transported to the inside of the conveying tube 201 through the air inlet hole 210. Because of the gas used in the sealing plate 211, the gas cannot enter the top of the sealing plate 211 through both sides of the mesh tube 203. The gas enters the mesh tube 203 and is discharged again, and enters the top of the sealing plate 211 inside the conveying tube 201. In the process of entering the mesh tube 203, the dust on the surface of the steel ball is taken away, and preliminary cleaning is achieved. By cooperating with a cleaning cloth, a better cleaning effect is achieved.
