When the distance between the two cleaning brushes 10 needs to be increased, the servo motor 3 drives the connecting plate 4 to rotate outward, and the two sliders 6 are moved away from each other along the guide rod 5 through the connecting rod 7; conversely, when the distance needs to be reduced, the connecting plate 4 rotates inward, causing the sliders 6 to move closer to each other, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance between the cleaning brushes 10, so that the device can adapt to guardrails of different widths and improve the cleaning effect of the guardrail.

[0024] See also Figure 1-4As shown, the outer walls on both sides of the mounting frame 2 are fixed to the side ears 11, and the bottom side of the side ears 11 is fixedly connected with a baffle 12, and the top side of the vehicle body 1 is installed with a water tank 13, and the top edge of the water tank 13 is installed with an L-shaped plate 14, and the top side of the L-shaped plate 14 is installed with a cylinder 15, and the action end of the cylinder 15 is installed with an action rod 16, and the servo motor 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the action rod 16, and the inside of the water tank 13 is connected with a delivery pipe 17, and a pump 18 is installed on the outer wall of the delivery pipe 17, and one end of the delivery pipe 17 is slidably penetrated and installed between the two baffles 12, and the bottom sides of both ends of the delivery pipe 17 are connected with straight pipes 19, and four nozzles 20 are equidistantly installed on the outer wall of the straight pipe 19; when working, in the daily maintenance process of the guardrail, it allows the driver to see the guardrail more easily. The position and boundary of the guardrail can be better observed by traffic rules and ensure driving safety. Therefore, a cleaning device is needed. First, the cylinder 15 is started. The action end of the cylinder 15 pushes the action rod 16 to move downward, thereby driving the servo motor 3, the mounting frame 2, etc. to move downward as a whole, so that the guardrail is located between the two cleaning brushes 10. Then the cleaning motor 9 is started. The cleaning motor 9 drives the cleaning brush 10 to rotate to clean the guardrail. During cleaning, the baffle 12 prevents splashing of water or dirt during the cleaning process. At the same time, the pump 18 is started to extract the water in the water tank 13 through the delivery pipe 17. The water in the delivery pipe 17 reaches the straight pipe 19 and is evenly sprayed by the nozzle 20 to flush the guardrail. While the cleaning brush 10 is cleaning, the water sprayed by the nozzle 20 can flush away the cleaned stains, etc., thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0025] See also Figure 1 , 25, a water inlet pipe 21 is installed through the top side of the water tank 13, a support rod 22 is installed inside the water tank 13 for sliding, a scale line 23 is engraved on the outer wall of the support rod 22, a floating plate 24 is installed on the bottom side of the support rod 22, an electrode plate 25 is installed on the top end of the support rod 22, an electrode sheet 26 is installed on the top side of the water tank 13 just below the electrode plate 25, a warning light 27 is installed on the top side of the water tank 13, and a control panel 28 is installed on one side of the vehicle body 1; when working, in this roadside guardrail cleaning operation, a continuous and stable supply of cleaning water is required. If there is no liquid level monitoring, during the working process The water tank 13 suddenly runs out of water, causing the cleaning work to be unable to proceed normally. As the amount of water in the water tank 13 changes, the float plate 24 will float up and down with the water surface, thereby driving the support rod 22 to move up and down. Since the support rod 22 is engraved with a scale line 23, the water level in the water tank 13 can be intuitively displayed. When the water level drops to a certain level, the electrode plate 25 will contact the electrode sheet 26, generate an electrical signal, and transmit it to the control panel 28. The control panel 28 controls the warning light 27 to light up, which serves as a reminder to inform the staff that they need to add water to the water tank 13 through the water inlet pipe 21 in time, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of the water level in the water tank 13 and ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0026] Working principle: first, start the cylinder 15, and the action end of the cylinder 15 pushes the action rod 16 to move downward, thereby driving the servo motor 3, the mounting frame 2, etc. to move downward as a whole, so that the guardrail is located between the two cleaning brushes 10. When the distance between the two cleaning brushes 10 needs to be increased, the servo motor 3 drives the connecting plate 4 to rotate outward, and the two sliders 6 are moved away from each other along the guide rod 5 through the connecting rod 7; conversely, when the distance needs to be reduced, the connecting plate 4 rotates inward, causing the sliders 6 to move closer to each other, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance between the cleaning brushes 10, being able to adapt to guardrails of different widths, and improving the cleaning effect of the guardrails;

[0027] Then the cleaning motor 9 is started, and the cleaning motor 9 drives the cleaning brush 10 to rotate to clean the guardrail. During cleaning, the baffle 12 prevents water or dirt from splashing during the cleaning process. At the same time, the pump 18 is started to extract the water in the water tank 13 through the delivery pipe 17. The water in the delivery pipe 17 reaches the straight pipe 19 and is evenly sprayed out by the nozzle 20 to wash the guardrail. While the cleaning brush 10 is cleaning, the water sprayed by the nozzle 20 can wash away the cleaned stains, etc., thereby improving the cleaning effect;

[0028] As the amount of water in the water tank 13 changes, the float plate 24 will float up and down with the water surface, thereby driving the support rod 22 to move up and down. Since the support rod 22 is engraved with a scale line 23, the water level in the water tank 13 can be intuitively displayed. When the water level drops to a certain level, the electrode plate 25 will contact the electrode sheet 26, generate an electrical signal, and transmit it to the control panel 28. The control panel 28 controls the warning light 27 to light up, which serves as a reminder to inform the staff that they need to add water to the water tank 13 through the water inlet pipe 21 in time, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of the water level in the water tank 13 and ensuring the normal operation of the device.
