[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 3 As shown: This utility model discloses a winnowing basket, which includes a winnowing basket body 1 and a comb tooth 3 that can move back and forth within the winnowing basket body. The winnowing basket body has a cleaning part, and the front end of the comb tooth 3 has comb teeth 7. When the comb tooth 3 moves backward within the winnowing basket body, the comb teeth retract relative to the cleaning part to clean up the adhering garbage. When the comb tooth 3 moves forward within the winnowing basket body, the comb teeth are exposed relative to the cleaning part. The rear part of the winnowing basket body has an operating rod 2 that can move up and down. The characteristic is that the lower end of the operating rod is connected to the comb tooth 3 via a connecting member 4. The connecting member is elastic. When the operating rod moves down, the connecting member can bend and deform to pull the comb tooth 3 backward within the winnowing basket body. When the operating rod moves up, the connecting member can elastically reset to push the comb tooth 3 forward within the winnowing basket body. The connecting component includes a plastic or metal part, which pushes the comb teeth forward within the dustpan body. Preferably, the plastic part includes PP, PE, or PA strips with a thickness of 1 to 7 mm, and the metal part preferably includes elastic steel or stainless steel. Both ends of the connecting component are detachably or fixedly connected to the operating rod and the comb teeth, respectively. Detachment methods include snap-fit ​​connections or connections between hooks 14 and slots 15. The cleaning section includes teeth in the dustpan body, with teeth intersecting the comb teeth, or one or more slots 8 in the dustpan body, with the slots fitting around the comb teeth. The cleaning section with the above structure can clean the adhering debris, especially linear debris, when the comb teeth retract. The cleaning section can be an integral part or a separate part from the dustpan body; in the case of a separate part, the cleaning section and the dustpan body can be connected via a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0018] In this embodiment, a spring 5 is provided between the operating lever and the main body of the winnowing basket. The spring is used to reset the operating lever upward after it moves down, so that the connecting member can push the comb tooth component forward in the main body of the winnowing basket. Thus, the comb tooth component can be moved forward and exposed to the cleaning part without the need to set a reset spring B between the comb tooth component and the main body of the winnowing basket. The above-mentioned elastic connecting member structure can omit the setting of spring B, which saves costs and simplifies the structure.

[0019] In this embodiment, the rear of the winnowing basket body is provided with a guide groove, and the lower end of the operating rod is disposed in the guide groove 9. A limiting structure is provided between the operating rod and the guide groove to restrict the operating rod from moving up and down in the guide groove and prevent it from disengaging. The limiting structure includes a limiting groove 10 on the side wall of the guide groove and a locking head 11 at the lower end of the operating rod. The locking head engages with the limiting groove and can move up and down along the limiting groove without disengaging, so that the operating rod can move up and down relative to the winnowing basket body without disengaging. The spring is disposed between the guide groove and the operating rod. Preferably, the locking head is disposed in a locking head member 13, which is detachably connected to the operating rod. There are many detachable connection structures between the locking head member and the operating rod, such as threaded connection or snap-fit ​​connection.

[0020] In this embodiment, the winnowing basket body has a mounting groove, and the comb teeth are movably disposed in the mounting groove 6; the mounting groove is connected to the guide groove, so that the operating rod and the comb teeth can be connected by a connector. The upper part of the winnowing basket body is provided with a detachable cover plate 12, which is used to cover the mounting groove; preferably, the cover plate is connected to the winnowing basket body by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0021] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: The operator holds the operating rod. When the operating rod moves down, the connecting part can bend and deform to switch the comb teeth to move backward in the dustpan body. The backward-moving comb teeth cause the comb teeth to retract relative to the cleaning part to clean the garbage adhering to them. When the operating rod moves up without applying external force and is spring-reset, the connecting part can elastically reset to push the comb teeth to move forward in the dustpan body. The forward-moving comb teeth cause the comb teeth to be exposed in the cleaning part, which can assist the broom in cleaning linear garbage. The above steps can be repeated to make the garbage adhering to the comb teeth more thoroughly cleaned.

[0022] Because the operating lever of this utility model can pull or push the comb teeth to move inward or outward relative to the cleaning part through the elastic connector, hair, fibers and other filamentous materials adhering to the comb teeth can be cleaned off by the cleaning part, avoiding manual cleaning; the above structure is simple, easy to operate, and has low manufacturing cost, and the elastic connector has a long service life.

[0023] The above embodiments are merely individual cases of this utility model. Any substitutions or combinations between embodiments made in accordance with the spirit of this utility model should be understood as not departing from the protection scope of this utility model.
