By providing the telescopic driving structure 5, there is no need to manually move the second brush body 2012, thereby further improving the working efficiency.
[0041] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the blade cleaning device further includes an elastic mechanism 6, which is connected between the first brush body 2011 and the second brush body 2012, and is suitable for applying an elastic force to the second brush body 2012 to approach the first brush body 2011. By providing the elastic mechanism 6, the second brush body 2012 is driven to approach the first brush body 2011, so that the blades between the first brush body 2011 and the second brush body 2012 are fully squeezed and contacted, thereby improving the brushing effect on the blades.
[0042] In one embodiment, the blade cleaning device also includes a telescopic driving structure 5 and an elastic mechanism 6. The telescopic driving structure 5 is connected to the connecting structure 203. The telescopic driving structure 5 is suitable for driving the second brush body 2012 away from the first brush body 2011. The elastic mechanism 6 is connected between the first brush body 2011 and the second brush body 2012. The elastic mechanism 6 is suitable for applying an elastic force to the second brush body 2012 close to the first brush body 2011.
[0043] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the telescopic driving structure 5 is an electric telescopic rod, and a baffle 7 is connected to the second brush body 2012, and the baffle 7 is arranged with the electric telescopic rod. When the electric telescopic rod is started, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod extends toward the baffle 7 and pushes the baffle 7 to drive the second brush body 2012 away from the first brush body 2011. When the electric telescopic rod is turned off, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is separated from the baffle 7 and retracted. At this time, the elastic mechanism 6 applies an elastic force close to the first brush body 2011 to the second brush body 2012 so that the second brush body 2012 is tightly fitted to the blade to be cleaned.
[0044] Of course, in an alternative embodiment, the blade cleaning device is only provided with a telescopic driving structure 5, and the driving end of the telescopic driving structure 5 is fixedly connected to the baffle 7. When the electric telescopic rod is started, the driving end of the electric telescopic rod extends out and drives the baffle 7 away from the first brush body 2011, thereby driving the second brush body 2012 away from the first brush body 2011. When the electric telescopic rod is closed, the driving end of the electric telescopic rod is retracted to drive the baffle 7 close to the first brush body 2011, thereby driving the second brush body 2012 close to the first brush body 2011.
[0045] Of course, in another alternative embodiment, the blade cleaning device is only provided with an elastic mechanism 6. When the blade to be cleaned is inserted into the two flexible brush parts 8, the insertion space becomes larger, and the elastic mechanism 6 will drive the second brush body 2012 away from the first brush body 2011 under the action of the elastic force. Then, in order to restore the elastic deformation, the elastic force of the elastic mechanism 6 drives the second brush body 2012 to approach the first brush body 2011 and fit tightly with the blade to be cleaned.
[0046] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the elastic mechanism 6 includes a fixed block 601, a sliding rod 602 and an elastic member 603. The fixed block 601 and the sliding rod 602 are respectively connected to the first brush body 2011 and the second brush body 2012. The fixed block 601 is provided with a sliding groove 6011. The sliding rod 602 is inserted into the sliding groove 6011 and is slidably connected to the fixed block 601. The elastic member 603 is arranged in the sliding groove 6011. One end of the elastic member 603 is connected to the fixed block 601, and the other end of the elastic member 603 is connected to one end of the sliding rod 602 inserted into the sliding groove 6011.
[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the fixed block 601 is connected to the first brush body 2011, and the sliding rod 602 is connected to the second brush body 2012. When the electric telescopic rod pushes the baffle 7 and drives the second brush body 2012 away from the first brush body 2011, the sliding rod 602 moves synchronously outward along the sliding groove 6011. At this time, the elastic member 603 is stretched. When the electric telescopic rod is closed, the elastic member 603 drives the sliding rod 602 to move in the opposite direction under the action of the elastic force, thereby driving the second brush body 2012 to move in the direction close to the first brush body 2011, so as to closely abut against the blades to complete the brushing work of the blades.
[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic member 603 is a spring.
[0049] Of course, in an alternative embodiment, the fixing block 601 may be connected to the second brush body 2012 , and the sliding rod 602 may be connected to the first brush body 2011 , so that the second brush body 2012 may approach the first brush body 2011 .
[0050] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the fixing structure 4 includes a first fixing arc ring 401, a second fixing arc ring 402 and a fastener 403. The first end of the first fixing arc ring 401 is connected to the mounting seat 1, the first end of the second fixing arc ring 402 is connected to the mounting seat 1, and the fastener 403 is detachably connected to the second end of the first fixing arc ring 401 and the second end of the second fixing arc ring 402.
[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fastener 403 is a bolt, and the first fixed arc ring 401 and the second fixed arc ring 402 are detachably connected by the bolt, so that the blade cleaning device can be disassembled and assembled at a predetermined installation position.
[0052] When using the blade cleaning device of this embodiment, first, the mounting base 1 is fixed at the predetermined mounting position by the fastener 403; then, the water inlet pipe 2021 is connected to the external water pipe, at this time, the electric telescopic rod is turned on to push the baffle 7 and drive the second brush body 2012 away from the first brush body 2011; then, the motor 301 is turned on, the motor 301 drives the screw rod 302 to rotate, the screw rod 302 drives the moving block 303 to move, and the moving block 303 drives the connecting structure 203 to move; when the blade enters the first When the brush body 2011 and the second brush body 2012 are between each other, the electric telescopic rod is closed, and the elastic mechanism 6 drives the second brush body 2012 to approach the first brush body 2011. At this time, the first brush body 2011 and the second brush body 2012 are in close contact with the blades; finally, clean water is introduced into the water inlet pipe 2021, and the clean water is sprayed from the nozzle 2022 to clean the blades. At this time, the connecting structure 203 drives the first brush body 2011 and the second brush body 2012 to continue to move, thereby completing the overall brushing of the blades.
