[0036] The safety protection device further comprises a cleaning mechanism 2, which comprises a mounting member 21 and a plurality of cleaning members 22 rotatably mounted on the mounting member 21. The plurality of cleaning members 22 are selectively one-to-one corresponding to the detection ends 1 along the row direction or the column direction of the detection ends 1, and the mounting member 21 can move along the corresponding column direction or row direction to clean the plurality of detection ends 1 in the corresponding column or row, thereby improving the cleaning and maintenance efficiency of the detection ends 1. The cleaning members 22 are rotatably mounted on the mounting member 21 and can rotate to clean the detection ends 1, which is conducive to improving the cleaning effect, thereby eliminating the monitoring blind area and improving the reliability of safety protection and ensuring production safety.

[0037] Further, the safety protection device further comprises a support member 3 for mounting the detection ends 1, which is vertically arranged on the bottom plate 100. The cleaning mechanism 2 further comprises a rotating assembly 23, which comprises a slide rod 231, a sleeve ring 232 and a rope 233. The slide rod 231 is arranged on the mounting member 21, the sleeve ring 232 is rotatably arranged on the slide rod 231, the cleaning member 22 is connected to the sleeve ring 232, the rope 233 has a fixed end and a moving end at two ends, the rope 233 can be arranged around the sleeve ring 232, the fixed end is connected to the support member 3, and the moving end is connected to the sleeve ring 232.
