[0046] Example 2:

[0047] On the basis of the above embodiment 1, in order to improve the cleaning efficiency of the anchor chain, the following structure is provided.

[0048] See Figure 2-Figure 3 Two mounting plates 12 are also installed inside the device body 1. A brush 13 is provided on the mounting plate 12. The brush 13 can clean the surface of the anchor chain, and the cleaning effect of the anchor chain can be improved by combining with flushing.

[0049] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: first, the staff installs the device and turns on the power supply, then pulls one end of the anchor chain into the interior of the device body 1 through the chain inlet 4, hangs the anchor chain on the hook 26, and adds water to the interior of the water storage tank 5 through the water inlet pipe 6, then starts the motor 18 and the first water pump 7. The motor 18 drives the drive shaft 19 to rotate, and drives the collection roller 31 to rotate, so as to pull the anchor chain into the interior of the device body 1. The first water pump 7 works to extract water from the water storage tank 5. The water enters the water guide pipe 10 through the first water delivery pipe 8 and is then sprayed out through the nozzle 11 to rinse the anchor chain. At the same time, the brush can clean the surface of the anchor chain.

[0050] After cleaning, the water will flow into the drain outlet 29 and into the water collecting tank 28, and then be filtered by the filter 901 and flow to the lower part of the water collecting tank 28. At this time, the second water pump 904 is started, and the second water pump 904 works to extract the water in the water collecting tank 28. The water then flows back to the water storage tank 5 through the second water pipe 905, so that the water can be recycled. When the collecting roller 31 rotates, it drives the connecting shaft 27 to rotate, and then drives the sprocket 906 connected to it to rotate, and then drives another sprocket 906 to rotate through the chain 912, and drives the movable shaft 903 to rotate, and then drives the scraper 902 to rotate. The scraper 902 can drive the impurities accumulated on the filter 901 to move, and prevent the impurities from accumulating at a fixed position on the filter 901 and causing the filter 901 to be blocked, so that the filter 901 can continue to filter the water.

[0051] When the collecting roller 31 needs to be removed, the box door 2 can be opened, and then the two push plates 23 can be pushed to move the inserting plate 24 out of the slot 25 so that the collecting roller 31 is no longer locked and limited. At this time, the collecting roller 31 can be removed;

[0052] When it is necessary to clean the impurities accumulated on the filter 901, first rotate the scraper 902 to the top to prevent the scraper 902 from affecting the removal of the filter 901, then unscrew the fastening bolt 907 from the sealing plate 911 and the water collecting tank 28 so that it no longer limits and fixes the sealing plate 911, and then pull the sealing plate 911 to move the filter 901 out from the inside of the water collecting tank 28 to clean the impurities accumulated on the filter 901.

[0053] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not limitations on the present invention.
