[0056] Adopting the above scheme: rotate the threaded rod 432, the threaded rod 432 can drive the transmission block 431 to slide along the inner wall of the sliding groove 433, and the transmission block 431 can drive the shovel block 410 to move forward through the support rod 420 and remove the residual impurities on the upper surface of the working platform 3.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the driving assembly 440 includes:

[0058] The pulley 441 is provided with two, and the two pulleys 441 are connected by a belt transmission. The pulley 441 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 432.

[0062] Reference Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the upper surface of the working platform 3 is provided with a through groove 5.

[0063] Adopting the above scheme: the through groove 5 mainly plays a role in facilitating the shovel block 410 to transport the residual impurities to the lower side of the through groove 5.

[0067] Adopting the above scheme: when the shovel block 410 moves to the upper side of the through groove 5, the shovel block 410 is affected by the gravity of the residual impurities without the support of the working platform 3, so that the shovel block 410 slides along the inner wall of the stroke groove 451 through the stroke column 452, and the shovel block 410 rotates downward to transport the residual impurities to the lower side of the through groove 5.
