Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 5 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] A cleaning device for a screw extruder barrel includes a cleaning assembly, which includes a cleaning head 1.

The first motor 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of a mounting plate 18. Two groups of guide rods 21 are fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting plate 18, and the guide rods 21 are slidingly matched with a lifting plate 4.

[0028] By setting up the first motor 3, the cleaning head 1 can be driven to rotate through the transmission shaft 2, and the rotating cleaning head 1 repeatedly brushes off the residues on the inner wall of the cylinder, thereby improving the cleaning effect. By setting up the guide rod 21, the stability of the pushing component in pushing the cleaning head 1 can be improved, thereby improving the cleaning effect, and preventing the first motor 3 and the mounting plate 18 from rotating.

The two groups of third pulleys 14 are connected by a second synchronous belt 15, one group of third pulleys 14 is connected to the output end of the third motor 16, and the third motor 16 is fixedly mounted on the top plate 13 through a mounting frame.

[0030] By setting up the third motor 16, the two sets of third pulleys 14 and the second synchronous belt 15 can drive the screw rod 5 to rotate, so that the lifting plate 4 can move up and down, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the height of the cleaning component. By setting up two sets of screw rods 5, the two sides of the lifting plate 4 can be evenly stressed, thereby reducing friction, and used in conjunction with the slide rod 17, the stability of the lifting plate 4 when moving up and down is greatly improved.

[0031] It also includes a pushing component, which includes a second motor 6 and a threaded sleeve 7. The output end of the second motor 6 is fixedly mounted with a first pulley 8, and the first pulley 8 is transmission-connected to the second pulley 10 through a first synchronous belt 9.
