The invention relates to the technical field of van filter press, in particular to a van-type filter press for preventing mud cake from sticking to filter cloth and a method for separating from mud cake. The press comprises a frame, the upper end of the filter cloth is fixed under the action of the force plate, the upper end of the filter cloth can be driven away from the filter plate through thestress plate, at the same time, under the mutual cooperating of the elastic force of the tension spring, the stress plate can be driven to vibrate, and the stress plate can drive the filter cloth to vibrate, so that the mud cake remaining on the filter cloth, which is difficult to fall off, can be vibrated and separated, and at the same time, the sludge remaining in the gap of the filter cloth canbe vibrated to fall off, so as to ensure the filtering effect of the filter cloth; under the action of the vibration pressing plate, the stress plate can be quickly pushed, so that the tension springgenerates vibration with larger amplitude, which is beneficial to improving the vibration amplitude of the filter cloth, thus ensuring that the residual mud cake on the filter cloth can fall down, thus reducing and avoiding manual cleaning of the mud cake, effectively reducing the manual workload, and increasing the efficiency of filtering sludge.
