Band-saw cleaning mechanism for band saw machine

A band-saw cleaning mechanism for a band saw machine, comprising:

• a cleaning unit having a steel brush, a first motor, and a linking rod, the steel brush being adapted for contact with a surface of the band saw, the first motor having a driving shaft, the linking rod having two ends, one of which is connected with the steel brush and the other is pivotably attached to the driving shaft of the first motor;
• a torque sensor mounted to the driving shaft of the first motor for sensing a torque of the driving shaft and emitting a sensing signal;
• a regulation unit having a second motor and a regulation screw, the regulation screw having two ends, one of which is connected with the second motor and the other is pivotably attached to the linking rod of the cleaning unit, whereby the regulation screw is driven by the second motor to push the linking rod for changing a contact distance between the steel brush and the band saw;
• and
• a control unit electrically connected with the torque sensor and the second motor of the regulation unit for receiving the sensing signal from the torque sensor and controlling the operation of the second motor according to the sensing signal.
