Through cleaning by the first cleaning device, dust inside the heat dissipation net 2 is reduced and the heat dissipation net 2 is prevented from being blocked, so that the interior of the industrial control computer body 1 is in communication with the outside, thereby improving heat dissipation effect. The second cleaning device is provided outside the industrial control computer body 1, and an upper surface of the industrial control computer body 1 and outer walls of the heat dissipation fins 3 can be cleaned up by means of the second cleaning device, so as to improve heat conduction efficiency and heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation fins 3. Therefore, the heat dissipation effect of the industrial control computer body 1 is further improved. In the disclosure, by providing the first cleaning device and second cleaning device, cleaning of the heat dissipation net 2 and the heat dissipation fins 3 can be completed, which reduces the dust attached to the surfaces of the heat dissipation net 2 and the heat dissipation fins 3 to enable high efficient heat dissipation, and avoids manual cleaning by a worker to reduce labor intensity of the worker, and also improves safety of cleaning for the industrial control computer body 1, and the problem that the worker is scratched by the heat dissipation fins 3 during cleaning of the heat dissipation fins 3 is solved.

On the basis of embodiment 1 or 2, as shown in
A working principle and beneficial effects of the above-mentioned technical solution are as follows: when the heat dissipation net 2 needs to be cleaned, the first motor 4 is actuated. A rotation of the first motor 4 can drive the first screw rod 5 to rotate, and the first screw rod 5 can drive, by threaded driving, the first sliding block 6 to move along the guide rod 7. The first motor 4 is a forward/reverse rotation motor, the first sliding block 6 can be driven to reciprocate up and down along the guide rod 7 through forward rotation and reverse rotation of the first motor 4, and the first bristles 8 can be driven to reciprocate up and down on the inner wall of the heat dissipating net 2. In this way, dust on the inner wall of the heat dissipating net 2 is cleaning up, the fallen dust falls into the first dust receiving box 9 which is in a drawer shape; and then the first dust receiving box 9 is regularly taken out from the second through hole to pour out the collected dust. Therefore, cleaning of the inner wall of the heat dissipation net 2 is realized, thereby keeping the heat dissipation net 2 unobstructed inside out and ensuring a heat dissipation speed.
On the basis of embodiment 1, as shown in

A number of the second air pipes 11 is the same as a number of the intervals of the heat dissipation fins 3, and the nozzle 12 is directly faces one of the intervals. Using the hot air ejected from the nozzles 12, on the one hand, dust can be blown off from the upper surface of the industrial control computer body 1, and on the other hand, part of the dust attached to the surface of the heat dissipation fins 3 can also be blown off, so as to avoid dust accumulation and enable full contact of the surface of the heat dissipation fins 3 with outside air, thereby making full use of the emitted hot air, saving resource, and improving cleaning effect for the heat dissipation fins 3.
On the basis of embodiment 1, as shown in

The second stud drives the anti-skid plate 39 to approach the right side wall of the industrial control computer body 1 by means of threaded driving until the anti-skid plate 39 is in close contact with the right side wall of the industrial control computer body 1. At the moment, the second dust receiving box 35 is installed on the industrial control computer body 1. Then, when the heat dissipation fins 3 need to be cleaned up, the second motor 15 is actuated. The second motor 15 rotates counterclockwise to drive the first gear 16 to rotate counterclockwise. The first gear 16 is an incomplete gear, and the first gear 16 can intermittently mesh with the rack 20. When the first gear 16 meshes with the rack 20, the first gear 16 drives the rack 20 to move backwards, and the rack 20 drives the sliding plate 19 to slide backwards within a range between the first fixing plate 17 and the second fixing plate 18, and the baffle 21 moves backwards, thereby the first spring 22 is compressed; the rack 20 meshes with the second gear 24, and the rack 20 drives the second gear 24 to rotate clockwise; the second gear 24 thereby drives the connecting rod 25 to swing from back to front, and the connecting rod 25 drives the mounting plate 26 to move from back to front; the mounting plate 26 drives the sliding rod 34 to move from back to front, and the sliding rod 34 drives, by means of the sleeve 32, the second sliding block 27 to slide between two of the heat dissipation fins 3, and the third sliding block 28 slides in the sliding groove 29. At the same time, the sliding rod 34 slides in the sleeve 32, and the second spring 33 moves along with the movement of the sliding rod 34.

The dust cleaned up falls into the second dust receiving box 35 at the front side of the industrial control computer body 1. When the second sliding block 27 slides to the foremost position, meshing between the first gear 16 and the rack 20 ends, and then the sliding plate 19 drives the rack 20 to slide from back to front under the action of an elastic force of the first spring 22; the rack 20 drives the second gear 24 to rotate counterclockwise, and the connecting rod 25 starts to swing backwards, and the cleaning assemblies are driven by the mounting plate 26 to slide backwards, so that the second bristles 31 clean up the upper surface of the industrial control computer body 1 and the outer wall of one of the heat dissipation fins 3 from front to back. Finally, the dust cleaned up falls into the second dust receiving box 35 at a rear side of the of the industrial control computer body 1. By providing the second cleaning device, the back and forth reciprocation of the bristles 31 on the upper surface of the industrial control computer body 1 can be realized, and the back and forth reciprocation of the second bristles 31 can be utilized to complete the cleaning of the heat dissipation fins 3 and the upper surface of the industrial control computer body 1, which realizes quick cleaning of the heat dissipation fins 3, improves cleanliness of the heat dissipation fins 3 and the upper surface of the industrial control computer body 1, and improves the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation fins 3. Besides, the second cleaning device occupies less space so that installation of the industrial control computer body 1 will not be affected. The second cleaning device is used for completing dust cleaning of the heat dissipation fins 3, which improves the safety during cleaning, and avoids a scratch accident, and reduces the labor intensity of workers.
