However, the embodiments described in the present invention are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning device for an optical fiber polishing disk, comprising a U-shaped bar 1, a water storage tank 2, a water pump 3, and a brush disk 4.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a conveyor belt 11 is provided on the sliding sleeve of the side wall of the U-shaped bar 1. The conveyor belt 11 is tightly attached to the side wall of the U-shaped bar 1 and the distance between it and the upper surface of the U-shaped bar 1 is a predetermined value.
