Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] This embodiment provides a cleaning device for the conveyor belt of the koji-making machine for liquor making, which is described in detail below. Figure 1As shown, it includes: a cleaning mechanism 1, a wetting mechanism 3 and a collecting mechanism 4. The cleaning mechanism 1 is arranged below the billet conveyor belt 2 and is used to clean the billet conveyor belt 2; the wetting mechanism 3 is used to wetting the cleaning mechanism 1; the collecting mechanism 4 is arranged below the billet conveyor belt 2 and is located next to the cleaning mechanism 1, and is used to collect debris that falls from the surface of the billet conveyor belt 2 after being cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, a cleaning mechanism 1 is provided on the lower side of the billet conveyor belt 2, and the cleaning mechanism 1 is moistened by the wetting mechanism 3. In the process of conveying the billet conveyor belt 2 forward, the cleaning mechanism 1 cleans the surface of the billet conveyor belt 2, and the debris dropped during cleaning, such as wheat ears, will be collected by the collecting mechanism 4. Then, the cleaning device in this embodiment is used to replace the traditional manual operation and complicated cleaning process, and integrates the functions of wetting, cleaning, and collection. There is no need to use various tools to assist. The cleaning process is simple, uses fewer tools, and takes less time. It can also avoid placing multiple tools on the production site, making the site more standardized and orderly.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, it should be noted that the cleaning mechanism 1 includes a transmission shaft 11, a cleaning brush 12 and a power piece 13. The transmission shaft 11 is in the shape of a long strip, and its length matches the width of the billet conveyor belt 2. The axial direction of the transmission shaft 11 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the billet conveyor belt 2. The end of the transmission shaft 11 is connected to the power piece 13 and rotates under the drive of the power piece 13; the cleaning brushes 12 are arranged on the surface of the transmission shaft 11 and are arranged in a plurality of numbers. The plurality of cleaning brushes 12 are arranged at equal intervals around the transmission shaft 11. The cleaning brushes 12 are used to contact the surface of the billet conveyor belt 2 for cleaning during the rotation of the transmission shaft 11.

[0031] Thus, the transmission shaft 11 is driven to rotate by the power part 13, and the transmission shaft 11 rotates synchronously with several cleaning brushes 12 during the rotation. The cleaning brushes 12 contact the surface of the billet conveyor belt 2, thereby cleaning the debris such as wheat ears adhered to the surface of the billet conveyor belt 2 in time, avoiding food contamination caused by long-term accumulation of wheat ears.

[0032] Preferably, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, bearing seats 14 are respectively provided at both ends of the transmission shaft 11. The bearing seats 14 are provided with bearings. The transmission shaft 11 is arranged to rotate on the bearing seats 14 by connecting the bearings.

[0033] In some possible implementations, the cleaning brush 12 includes a ridge provided on the surface of the transmission shaft 11 and a cleaning material coated on the ridge surface. The ridge is provided to extend along the length of the transmission shaft 11. The ridge serves as a support for the cleaning material. The cleaning material can be coated on the ridge surface. Then, during the rotation of the cleaning brush 12, the cleaning material cleans the surface of the billet conveyor belt 2. Preferably, the cleaning material is provided as a diamond sponge.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some possible implementations, the rotation direction of the transmission shaft 11 is set opposite to the conveying direction of the billet conveyor belt 2. With this arrangement, when the transmission shaft 11 rotates and brings the cleaning brush 12 into contact with the billet conveyor belt 2, the movement direction of the cleaning brush 12 is exactly opposite to the conveying direction of the billet conveyor belt 2. Through the interaction of forces, the cleaning brush 12 can easily clean off debris adhering to the surface of the billet conveyor belt 2.

[0035] In some possible implementations, the power member 13 includes a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is coaxially connected to the transmission shaft 11. Of course, the output shaft of the motor can also be coaxially connected to the transmission shaft 11 through a coupling, and the specific arrangement is not limited in this embodiment.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, it should be noted that the wetting mechanism 3 is arranged below the cleaning mechanism 1. The wetting mechanism 3 includes a water tank 31, the upper end of which is open and stores cleaning liquid. The transmission shaft 11 carries the cleaning brush 12 through the water tank 31 during its rotation to perform a water dipping operation. Thus, by storing cleaning liquid such as clean water in the water tank 31 in advance, and then the transmission shaft 11 carries the cleaning brush 12 in a circumferential rotation during its rotation, when the cleaning brush 12 rotates to the bottom, it enters the water tank 31 and performs a water dipping operation. When the cleaning brush 12 rotates to the top again and contacts the surface of the billet conveyor belt 2, it can just clean the surface of the billet conveyor belt 2. Therefore, the cleaning brush 12 adopts a rotary water dipping operation, which is more convenient and efficient to use. Of course, this embodiment is not limited to such a setting. In other embodiments, the wetting mechanism 3 can also adopt a water spraying pipe to spray water on the surface of the billet conveyor belt 2.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, it should be noted that the collection mechanism 4 includes a collection box 41, the upper end of which is open. The collection box 41 is arranged in front of the transmission shaft 11 and on the path where debris falls. By providing the collection box 41, the wheat ears cleaned from the surface of the billet conveyor belt 2 are collected promptly and effectively, avoiding the mess on the ground caused by the spillage of wheat ears and accumulated water. Of course, there is no specific limitation on the shape of the collection box 41. For example, it can be set to a rectangular, circular, or trapezoidal shape, etc. When it is set to a rectangle, two recessed slots 411 are provided at the two ends on the same side of the collection box 41. The provision of the slots 411 facilitates the removal and placement of the collection box 41.

[0038] The implementation principle of this embodiment: a cleaning mechanism 1 is set on the lower side of the billet conveyor belt 2, and the cleaning mechanism 1 is moistened by the wetting mechanism 3. In the process of conveying the billet conveyor belt 2 forward, the cleaning mechanism 1 cleans the surface of the billet conveyor belt 2 during rotation, and the debris dropped during cleaning, such as wheat ears, will be collected by the collecting mechanism 4, thereby replacing the traditional manual operation and complicated cleaning process, integrating the wetting, cleaning, collection and other functions into one, and does not require the use of various tools for assistance. The cleaning process is simple, uses fewer tools, and takes less time. It can also avoid the placement of multiple tools on the production site, and the site is more standardized and orderly.

[0039] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0040] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
