<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve labor saving or automation in cleaning of an article/material conveying surface for allowing quick and sure cleaning work. <P>SOLUTION: A cleaning device includes a cleaning tool (10) disposed over a conveying element (R). The cleaning tool includes a cleaning surface (11) contacting with a conveying surface (S). The cleaning device includes traction devices (6, 7) applying tractive force (T), which works in the opposite direction (E) to the conveying direction (D) of a conveying path, to the cleaning tool. The cleaning tool includes an own weight (P) which maintains the contact between the cleaning surface and the conveying element during operation of the conveying path, and the cleaning tool cleans the conveying surface by means of the contact and separation between the cleaning surface and the conveying surface and by means of the relative displacements (V1, V2, V3) between the cleaning surface and the conveying surface. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
