[0031] A reciprocating motion mechanism is located on the support plate 1. The reciprocating motion mechanism includes a square chute 2 opened on the top of the support plate 1. One side of the inner wall of the square chute 2 is connected with a servo motor 201. The output end of the servo motor 201 is fixedly connected with a reciprocating lead screw 202. One side of the support plate 1 is connected with an installation box 207. And the end of the reciprocating lead screw 202 far away from the servo motor 201 extends into the inner wall of the installation box 207 and is rotationally connected with its inner wall. A telescopic sleeve 203 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the reciprocating lead screw 202. A telescopic spring 204 is connected to the inner wall of the telescopic sleeve 203. The top of the telescopic spring 204 is fixedly connected with a sliding plate 205. And the top of the sliding plate 205 slides and extends to the outside of the top of the telescopic sleeve 203. The top of the sliding plate 205 is fixedly connected with a moving rod 206. Clamping parts 5 are opened on both sides of the bottom of the moving rod 206;

[0032] The present utility model is further specifically described in detail. The outer wall of the telescopic sleeve 203 is slidably fitted with the inner wall of the square chute 2. The outer wall of the telescopic sleeve 203 is slidably fitted with the inner wall of the installation box 207. A through groove corresponding to the square chute 2 is opened on one side of the installation box 207. The through groove extends into the inside of the square chute 2. The outer wall of the moving rod 206 is slidably fitted with the inner wall of the installation box 207. A fixed magnet 208 is connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 205. An installation magnet 209 is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the telescopic sleeve 203. And the fixed magnet 208 and the installation magnet 209 are arranged to attract each other with opposite poles;

[0033] A wet cleaning mechanism is located in the clamping part 5 of the reciprocating motion mechanism. The wet cleaning mechanism includes a rotating cleaning component and a wetting component. The rotating cleaning component includes a scrubbing cloth 307 rotatably installed in the clamping part 5, a rotating rod 3, and a cleaning roller 301 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 3. Embedded magnets are embedded on the outer wall of the cleaning roller 301. The wetting component includes a storage agent box 302 located at the top end of the moving rod 206, a reagent outlet hole opened on the top of the inner wall of the clamping part 5, and a sliding magnet plate 306 arranged at the bottom of the storage agent box 302 through an elastic member. A limiting chute 308 is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the storage agent box 302. A limiting rod 303 is connected to the inside of the limiting chute 308. A limiting slider 305 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod 303. A reset spring 304 is connected to one side of the inner wall of the limiting chute 308. The top of the limiting slider 305 is connected with a sliding magnet plate 306;

[0034] The present utility model will be further specifically described in detail. Scrubbing cloths 307 are provided on the outer wall of the cleaning roller 301 and the inner wall of the engaging portion 5. An agent outlet hole is opened at the top of the inner wall of the engaging portion 5, and the agent outlet hole extends into the interior of the agent storage tank 302. The agent outlet hole is located at the bottom of the sliding magnetic plate 306 and is slidably fitted with it. Embedded magnetic blocks are inlaid on the outer wall of the cleaning roller 301, and the embedded magnetic blocks and the sliding magnetic plate 306 are arranged to attract each other with opposite polarities. The engaging portion 5 and the slide rail 4 are correspondingly arranged, and the scrubbing cloth 307 is slidably fitted with the outer wall of the slide rail 4.

[0035] As can be seen from the above, when the staff cleans the outer wall of the slide rail 4, the servo motor 201 is turned on to make it work. Correspondingly, based on the threaded connection between the telescopic sleeve 203 and the reciprocating lead screw 202, it drives the moving rod 206 to move, and then the scrubbing cloth 307 on the inner wall of the engaging portion 5 and the scrubbing cloth 307 on the outer wall of the cleaning roller 301 reciprocally slide and clean on the outer wall of the slide rail 4;

[0036] According to the action of friction, the cleaning roller 301 rotates by friction. When the cleaning roller 301 rotates, it drives the embedded magnetic blocks on its outer wall to rotate. When the embedded magnetic blocks correspond to the sliding magnetic plate 306, the sliding magnetic plate 306 can be moved to open the agent outlet hole, so that the cleaning agent inside the agent storage tank 302 flows out, which can moisten the scrubbing cloth 307 and increase the effect of the scrubbing cloth 307 on scrubbing and removing dust from the outer wall of the slide rail 4. Through the setting of this structure, the reciprocating action mechanism is arranged beside the slide rail, which is convenient for the staff to quickly slide and clean the outer wall of the slide rail 4. It is not necessary for the staff to separately take the dust removal device to remove dust from the slide rail 4. Correspondingly, the operation steps of the staff for removing dust from the slide rail 4 are reduced, thereby improving the working efficiency of the staff for using the inspection robot to remove dust from the slide rail 4;

[0037] Moreover, based on the action of the reciprocating lead screw 202, the moving rod 206 can reciprocally clean the outer wall of the slide rail 4. When initially cleaning the outer wall of the slide rail 4, at this time, the rotation direction of the cleaning roller 301 corresponds to the sliding direction of the sliding magnetic plate 306, so that the agent outlet hole can be opened. Conversely, when the agent outlet hole cannot be opened, correspondingly, the cleaning agent inside the agent storage tank 302 can flow out reciprocally, reducing the waste of resources;

[0038] After the outer wall of the slide rail 4 is cleaned, the moving rod 206 is restored to its initial position and is located above the installation box 207. At this time, the moving rod 206 is pressed downward so that the moving rod 206 drives the engaging portion 5 at its bottom to be received into the interior of the installation box 207. Using the action of the fixed magnetic block 208 and the installation magnetic block 209 attracting each other with opposite polarities, the receiving position of the moving rod 206 can be fixed. Correspondingly, the cleaning roller 301 and the scrubbing cloth 307 can be protected, improving the use effect of the cleaning roller 301 and the scrubbing cloth 307.

[0039] In the embodiments of the present application, "at least one" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects and indicates that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent the case where A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Where A and B may be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" and its similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single items or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b, and c may represent: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, or a and b and c, where a, b, and c may be single or plural.

[0040] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
