In the existing plasma device that possesses cooling tube, grabber is arranged on the extended line of tubulose cooling tube more, the scraper plate 20 itself that configures above-mentioned shape is difficulty comparatively, but by possessing guiding tube 13, can on the extended line of cooling tube 3, form space, thereby be easy to configure scraper plate 20, therefore preferably.But if it is complicated not mind device, also can not possess guiding tube and configure scraper plate 20, in the present invention, guiding tube is not necessary formation.
Because axle 21 is installed to be intercalated in the state of insert port 3, therefore, axle 21 can freely move back and forth along the length direction of cooling tube 3, and, can also freely carry out the axle circumference (Shaft week り centered by the axle of axle 21) revolution of direction.
It should be noted that, the radially maximum length of (direction vertical with axle 21) of scraper head 22 is set as less than the minimum diameter in cooling tube 3.
In the first embodiment of above-mentioned formation, when regularly or aperiodically removing attachment, handle the axle 21 outside cooling tube 3, axle 21 was turned round along axle circumferencial direction in the reciprocating while of the length direction along cooling tube 3.Now, the manipulation of axle 21 is not limited to staff, also can be undertaken by driving mechanisms such as motors.Then,, by utilizing the attachment of 22 pairs of cooling tube 3 inwalls of scraper head to apply physical force, can effectively scrape attachment.
Fig. 2 (A)~(C) is the details drawing of the scraper head 22 of the first embodiment, Fig. 2 (B) be while observing from the II-II line of Fig. 2 (A) to view, Fig. 2 (C) be while observing from the IIA-IIA ' line of Fig. 2 (B) to view.
As shown, scraper head 22 has the first scraper head 22a, the second scraper head 22b, outstanding pawl 27, the first scraper head 22a and the second scraper head 22b and is all the annular shape with 3 spokes.
In addition, the first scraper head 22a, the second scraper head 22b possess respectively claw 23a and the 23b of the different zigzag fashion of tooth angle.Therefore, when scraper head 22 is moved to the upstream side of cooling tube 3, first by the claw 23a of the first scraper head 22a, roughly scrape the attachment of cooling tube 3 inwalls, then the claw 23b by the second scraper head 22a scrapes residual attachment.
