The bottom plate 1 has lower connecting seats 301 on both sides of its top end, and the top plate 2 has upper connecting seats 302 on both sides of its bottom end. The top of the lower connecting seat 301 is equipped with two lifting cylinders 303, and the top of the lifting cylinder 303 is connected to the bottom of the upper connecting seat 302.

[0022] In use, the lifting cylinder 303 is used to drive the upper connecting seat 302 to move up and down.

[0023] A transmission body 4 is fixedly installed at the top of the top plate 2. A limiting groove 5 is provided at the center of the top of the transmission body 4. The bottom end of the limiting groove 5 extends into the interior of the transmission body 4. A motor 6 is installed on one side of the top of the transmission body 4 through a bracket. One end of the motor 6 passes through the bracket and is equipped with a drive wheel 10. A lead screw 13 is rotatably installed at the lower end inside the transmission body 4. Several movable frames 8 are provided inside the transmission body 4 outside the lead screw 13 and guide rod 15. The top of the movable frame 8 passes through the limiting groove 5 and is equipped with a bearing plate 7.

[0024] In use, the guide cylinder 9 is positioned by setting up the support plate 7;

[0025] A nut pair 14 is fixedly installed at the lower end inside the movable frame 8, and the nut pair 14 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 13;

[0026] In use, the movable bracket 8 is threaded onto the outside of the lead screw 13 by setting the nut pair 14;

[0027] Two limiting cylinders 16 are fixedly installed at the upper end of the interior of the movable frame 8, and the limiting cylinders 16 are movably connected to the guide rod 15;

[0028] In use, the limiting sleeve 16 is provided so that the movable frame 8 can be movably installed on the outside of the guide rod 15;

[0029] A guide cylinder 9 is provided at the center of the top of the bearing plate 7, and a cylindrical cavity 17 is provided at the center of the inside of the guide cylinder 9. An annular brush head 18 is installed at the upper end of the inside of the cylindrical cavity 17.
