PURPOSE: A chute cleaning device is provided to easily and rapidly clean a chute and to automatically clean a chute switch. CONSTITUTION: A chute cleaning device comprises an actuating cylinder, an operation platform, multiple cranks, a rotary shaft, guiderails, and hitting wires (250). The actuating cylinder is formed in the opposite side of the contact point of a belt conveyor, where is the outer side of the head part of a chute. The operation platform is connected to the actuating cylinder and surrounds the chute. The cranks are formed inside the chute and are connected to multiple eccentric crank shafts. The rotary shaft is fixed to the center of the outer surface of the outermost crank and is fixed to a first guide roll through both ends of the operation platform. The guiderails are installed on both surfaces of the chute so that the first guide roll can move thereon. One end of each hitting wire is connected to the crank shaft to be rotated at 360 degrees, and the other end is connected to each shock absorbing member (300) formed outside to adjust the length thereof.
