[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-4 The device shown includes a housing 1 with a plurality of insertion holes 2 evenly distributed on the top of the housing 1. Slide rails 7 are provided on the inner walls of the left and right sides of the housing 1, and mounting frames 8 are slidably mounted on the slide rails 7. Rotating shafts 9 are rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the mounting frames 8 via bearings. Elastic steel wire cleaning rollers 11 are mounted on mounting discs 10 at their inner ends via fixing bolts. When cleaning of the rake nails is required, the rake nails are inserted into the insertion holes 2, and the rotating elastic steel wire cleaning rollers 11 can then clean the rake nails inserted into the housing 1. The top of the device housing 1 is also equipped with a snap-fit ​​block 3 via the first bolt 4. Under the action of the snap-fit ​​block 3, the connecting rod of the rake nail can be fixed, thereby better fixing the rake nail to the device housing 1, thus ensuring the subsequent cleaning quality of the rake nail. The diameter of the insertion hole 2 is equal to the outer diameter of the rake nail. At the same time, under the action of several insertion holes 2, the device can simultaneously meet the cleaning work of multiple rake nails, thereby improving the efficiency of the device in cleaning rake nails to a certain extent, reducing the workload of the workers, and improving the efficiency of the device in cleaning rake nails.

[0024] A mounting shell is also provided on the outer right side of the mounting bracket 8. The right rotating shaft 9 passes through the side wall of the mounting shell and extends into the interior of the mounting shell. A second bevel gear 18 is provided on the right rotating shaft 9 inside the mounting shell via a key connection. A mounting shaft 16 is also rotatably provided on the mounting shell. A first bevel gear 17 is provided on the mounting shaft 16 via a key connection. The first bevel gear 17 and the second bevel gear 18 mesh with each other. At this time, rotating the mounting shaft 16 can drive the elastic steel wire cleaning roller 11 to rotate through the first bevel gear 17 and the second bevel gear 18, thereby cleaning the rake nails. A servo motor 19 is also provided on the shell wall below the mounting shell. The power output shaft of the servo motor 19 is connected to the mounting shaft 16 via a coupling.

[0025] Inside the outer casing 1, a drive gear 14 is mounted on a rotating shaft at the bottom. A rack 13 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame 8. The rack 13 meshes with the drive gear 14. A reciprocating motor 15 is mounted on the rear outer wall of the outer casing 1. The power output shaft of the reciprocating motor 15 is connected to the rotating shaft of the drive gear 14 via a coupling. When the reciprocating motor 15 rotates, under the action of the drive gear 14 and the rack 13, it can drive the elastic steel wire cleaning roller 11 to move back and forth inside the outer casing 1. This allows the elastic steel wire on the elastic steel wire cleaning roller 11 to better contact the rake nails, thereby enabling the elastic steel wire to better clean the soot produced on the rake nails. To a certain extent, this improves the cleaning quality of the rake nails by the device.

[0026] A protruding cavity is provided on the right side wall of the outer casing 1 of the device. The protruding cavity increases the stroke of the mounting frame 8 moving left and right, ensuring the efficiency of the mounting frame 8 moving left and right, thereby enabling the elastic steel wire cleaning roller 11 to better clean the rake nails.

[0027] A disassembly plate 5 is also provided on the left side of the device housing 1 via a second bolt 6. By unscrewing the second bolt 6 and opening the disassembly plate 5, the impurities remaining inside the device housing 1 can be cleaned. At the same time, it is also convenient to remove the elastic steel wire cleaning roller 11, so as to clean or replace the elastic steel wire cleaning roller 11, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the use of the elastic steel wire cleaning roller 11.

[0028] Working principle: When it is necessary to clean the rake nails, the connecting rod of the rake nail is inserted into the insertion hole 2 at the top of the device housing 1. The locking block 3 set at the top of the device housing 1 by the first bolt 4 will fix the connecting rod of the rake nail, ensuring the insertion quality of the rake nail, thus providing a foundation for subsequent cleaning work and ensuring the cleaning quality.

[0029] On the left and right sides of the mounting frame 8, rotating shafts 9 are rotatably mounted via bearings. Elastic steel wire cleaning rollers 11 are mounted on mounting discs 10 at their inner ends via fixing bolts. Inside the mounting housing on the right outer wall of the mounting frame 8, a second bevel gear 18 is connected to the right rotating shaft 9 via a key. A mounting shaft 16 is also rotatably mounted on the mounting housing, and a first bevel gear 17 is connected to the mounting shaft 16 via a key. The first bevel gear 17 and the second bevel gear 18 mesh with each other. A servo motor 19 is mounted on the lower wall of the mounting housing, and its power output shaft is connected to the mounting shaft 16 via a coupling. When the servo motor 19 operates, it drives the mounting shaft 16 to rotate via the coupling. The first bevel gear 17 on the mounting shaft 16 drives the second bevel gear 18 to rotate, which in turn causes the right rotating shaft 9 to rotate, ultimately driving the elastic steel wire cleaning rollers 11 to rotate. The rotating elastic steel wire cleaning rollers 11 then clean the rake nails inserted into the device housing 1.

[0030] A drive gear 14 is mounted on the lower part of the inner casing 1 via a rotating shaft, and a rack 13 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame 8. The rack 13 meshes with the drive gear 14. A reciprocating motor 15 is mounted on the rear outer wall of the outer casing 1, and its power output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft of the drive gear 14 via a coupling. When the reciprocating motor 15 is working, it drives the drive gear 14 to rotate via the coupling. Since the rack 13 meshes with the drive gear 14, the rotation of the drive gear 14 drives the rack 13 to move, thereby causing the mounting frame 8 to slide left and right on the slide rail 7. This, in turn, causes the elastic steel wire cleaning roller 11 to move back and forth inside the outer casing 1, ensuring that the elastic steel wire cleaning roller 11 can thoroughly clean different positions of the rake nails, thus improving cleaning efficiency.

[0031] The protruding cavity on the right side wall of the outer casing 1 ensures the efficiency of the left-right movement of the mounting frame 8, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the elastic steel wire cleaning roller 11. The disassembly plate 5, installed on the left side of the outer casing 1 via the second bolt 6, allows for the cleaning of residual impurities inside the outer casing 1. It also facilitates the removal of the elastic steel wire cleaning roller 11 for cleaning or replacement, thus ensuring its efficiency. This allows for the simultaneous cleaning of multiple rakes, reducing the workload of workers and improving the efficiency of rake cleaning. Furthermore, the motor-driven mechanism reduces worker fatigue and ensures cleaning quality.
