1. A transport equipment with cleaning capabilities, comprising:
a support rack, wherein conveyor rollers are rotatably arranged on the support rack;
a conveyor belt arranged around the conveyor rollers and driven thereby for conveying; and
a cleaning mechanism integrally arranged on one side of the support rack; wherein
in a single circulative conveying of the conveyor belt, the cleaning mechanism simultaneously performs repeated and alternate cleaning actions and scraping actions on the conveyor belt, with impurities removed from the conveyor belt collected in the cleaning mechanism;
the cleaning mechanism comprising:
a water collection frame arranged on one side of the support rack;
a plurality of scraping apparatuses arranged on the water collection frame for scraping a surface of the conveyor belt; and
a plurality of cleaning rollers rotatably arranged on the water collection frame and abutting against the conveyor belt to clean the surface of the conveyor belt in a rolling manner; wherein
along the conveyor belt's conveying direction, the plurality of scraping apparatuses and the cleaning rollers are arranged adjacent to each other and distributed alternately, with the impurities removed from the conveyor belt by the scraping apparatuses and the cleaning rollers collected in the water collection frame;
each scraping apparatus comprising:
a reciprocating screw rod rotatably arranged on the water collection frame;
a limiting slide rod arranged on the water collection frame and adjacent to the reciprocating screw rod; and
a plurality of drive blocks movably arranged on the reciprocating screw rod and the limiting slide rod, and provided with scraping plates; wherein
rotation of the reciprocating screw rod drives the drive blocks to move along the limiting slide rod, enabling the scraping plate to scrape the surface of the conveyor belt;
a movement direction of the scraping plate is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt; and
the scraping plate is provided with a scraping surface abutting against the conveyor belt, with a scraping gap formed on the scraping surface, and in a case where the scraping plate drives the scraping surface to move and scrape the surface of the conveyor belt, the impurities scraped off are separated from the scraping gap; and
the cleaning mechanism further comprising a transmission unit with:
a drive apparatus arranged on the water collection frame, and an output end of the drive apparatus connected to the cleaning roller;
synchronous wheels coaxially arranged on the cleaning rollers;
a driven wheel coaxially arranged on the reciprocating screw rod; and
a synchronous belt in transmission connection to the synchronous wheel and the driven wheel; wherein
the drive apparatus drives the cleaning roller to rotate, enabling the synchronous belt to rotate the synchronous wheel and the driven wheel, and the reciprocating screw rod drives the scraping plate to move the surface of the conveyor belt after rotating.
