<p>A cleaning device (1) for a fluid, e.g. water is disclosed, wherein the fluid flows through a cylindrical cleaning tube (2) while being cleaned by means of irradiation, in particular UV irradiation, wherein further the cleaning tube (2) comprises a bottom area (3) in which a fluid intake (15) is formed, and a top area (9) in which a fluid discharge (16) is formed, and wherein furthermore, within the cleaning tube (2), a wiping device (24) is rotatable about the longitudinal axis (x) of the cleaning tube (2) and provided with wiping elements (25) extending in the axial direction. In order to improve such cleaning device, in particular with respect to the flow-dependent drive of the wiping elements on the device side, it is proposed that the wiping elements (25) are fixedly connected on the bottom side with flow deflection elements (33) extending in the circumferential direction of the cleaning tube (2). The inflowing fluid rotates the wiping elements (25) by flowing through the flow deflection elements (33). In a further solution, it is proposed that over the axial length on the wiping element (25), areas (28) are formed which abut on an inner surface (27) of the cleaning tube (2), and areas (29) are formed which run at a distance to the inner surface (27) of the cleaning tube (2).</p> |
