[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] Figures 1-4As one embodiment of this utility model, the specific problem addressed by this specific embodiment is as follows: Chinese patent No. 201920178746.X, entitled "A Sweeping Brush Body for Both Forklifts and Excavators," is based on the installation structure of sweeping brushes on forklifts and excavators. It only achieves a stable connection between the connection structure and the sweeping brush. However, in actual use, the unevenness of the road surface when forklifts and excavators pass through is different, resulting in uneven working conditions. Therefore, if the sweeping brush can only maintain the existing distance from the forklift and excavator, it is easy to cause scratches on the road surface or change the sweeping intensity, reducing the expected sweeping purpose and effect. In the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the connector 4 and the plug 5 set on the brush plate 1 are used to first form a linkage effect between the connector 4 and the brush plate 1. Then, the action of the plug 5 on the connector 4 generates a drive for the connector 4, directly driving the connector 4 to produce lifting and lowering motion. Based on the connection between the connector 4 and the brush plate 1, the plug 5 indirectly drives the brush plate 1. Thus, the distance between the brush plate 1 and the forklift or excavator body can be adjusted, increasing the applicable terrain and uneven working conditions.

[0027] An adjustable sweeping brush suitable for forklifts and excavators includes a brush disc 1 and bristles 2 installed at the lower end of the brush disc 1. A connecting groove 3 is provided through the brush disc 1. A connector 4 and a plug-in 5 connected to the connector 4 to synchronize the movement of the connector 4 and the brush disc 1 are installed on the connecting groove 3.

[0028] The connector 4 includes a first mounting member 41 and a second mounting member 42 disposed on the brush plate 1 and installed in a circumferential direction. Both the first mounting member 41 and the second mounting member 42 extend in a centripetal direction. Both the first mounting member 41 and the second mounting member 42 include a positioning plate 43 mounted on the brush plate 1 and an extension rod 44 mounted on the positioning plate 43 and extending in a direction towards the center of the connecting groove 3. The length of the extension rod 44 in the first mounting member 41 is greater than that in the second mounting member 42. A synchronization plate 45 is provided at the end of the extension rod 44 in the first mounting member 41, and a guide plate 54 is provided at the end of the extension rod 44 in the second mounting member 42.

[0029] The connector 5 includes a connector post 51 that inserts into the connecting groove 3. The connector post 51 has an inner groove 52 that is adapted to the setting position of the extension rod 44. The opening length of the inner groove 52 is adapted to the setting length of the extension rod 44 of the first mounting member 41 and the second mounting member 42. The opening height of the inner groove 52 is the same as that of the matching groove 53. The opening height of the inner groove 52 is less than the setting height of the bristles 2 to avoid the brush plate 1 rising and causing the connector post 51 to be directly exposed outside the bristles 2, resulting in structural damage or scratches to the connector post 51. The end of the inner groove 52 has a matching groove 53 that is adapted to the synchronization plate 45 and the guide plate 54. A screw 55 is installed in the matching groove 53 of the synchronization plate 45. The screw 55 passes through the center of the synchronization plate 45 and drives the synchronization plate 45 to move up and down. A screw 55 extends upward and passes through the top surface of a connector 51. Two symmetrical gears 56 are mounted on the top surface of the connector 51. The screw 55 and gears 56 are coaxially connected, and the two gears 56 are connected by a chain. A drive motor is coaxially mounted on one of the gears 56. A connecting sleeve 57 for connecting to a forklift or excavator is sleeved on the connector 51. The connecting sleeve 57 is threadedly connected to the connector 51, and the interior of the connecting sleeve 57 is hollow to create a space to accommodate the drive motor. The height of the plug post 51 is greater than the depth of the connecting groove 3. A set of guide plates 54 extends from the wall of the adapter groove 53 to the wall of the connecting groove 3. The set of guide plates 54 has two guide plates, and the distance between the two guide plates is equal to the width of the extension rod 44 in the second mounting member 42. The inner groove 52 and the adapter groove 53 enable functional adaptation of the different structures in the connecting member 4. The adapter groove 53 and the screw 55 installed in it drive the first mounting member 41, while the adapter groove 53 adapted to the second mounting member 42 plays a guiding role to prevent the second mounting member 42 from moving and misaligning under the drive of the thread. The adapter groove 53 adapted to the guide plate 54 can play a certain limiting role.

[0030] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
