When the conveying belt 203 rotates to move the vegetables to the guide roller 202 at the end of the cleaning pool 101, the vegetables below the fixed plate 302 are not in contact with the conveying belt 203. Under the action of gravity, the vegetables will fall, so that the vegetables fixed on the conveying belt 203 can be discharged, which is more convenient and improves the work efficiency of the workers. At this time, the vegetables will fall on the buffer plate 7. When the motor two drives the turntable 801 to rotate, the connecting shaft 802 rotates in a circular motion. At this time, the cylinder on the connecting shaft 802 slides in the sliding groove on the buffer plate 7 and rotates in the sliding groove, so as to drive the buffer plate 7 to reciprocating rotate around its hinge point on the cleaning pool 101, so that the free end of the buffer plate 7 shakes, and the vegetables falling on the buffer plate 7 are well drained. Through the design of the draining hole 11, the water falling on the buffer plate 7 is easily discharged.

[0055] When the vegetables such as celery and onions do not need to be washed, the bottom plate 601 is tightly inserted on the fixed plate 302, and the fruit and vegetable food such as potatoes, onions and apples is placed on the conveying belt 203 and located in the through hole 4 of the fixed plate 302. At this time, the fruit and vegetable food such as potatoes, onions and apples is located on the bottom plate 601 and in contact with the turnover rod 603. At this time, the motor one is controlled to be turned on by the PLC control system, and the nozzle located directly above the conveying belt 203 sprays water. The nozzle sprays water to wash the fruit and vegetable food such as potatoes, onions and apples on the bottom plate 601. The rotation of the conveying belt 203 drives the position of the bottom plate 601 to move. When the connecting rod 604 is in contact with the brush roller 102, the connecting rod 604 is driven to rotate on the bottom plate 601 by the reverse force of the brush roller 102. At this time, the one-way bearing is in a locked state, so that the rotating shaft 602 is driven to rotate by the one-way bearing, so that the turnover rod 603 can make cylindrical motion on the top of the bottom plate 601 by the meshing spur gears. At this time, the spring is deformed under stress. When the connecting rod 604 moves to the other side of the brush roller 102, the spring returns to the natural state, so that the connecting rod 604 rotates on the bottom plate 601 and resets. At this time, the one-way bearing rotates and does not make the rotating shaft 602 rotate. The fruit and vegetable food such as potatoes, onions and apples on the bottom plate 601 and in contact with the turnover rod 603 is turned over, so that the fruit and vegetable food such as potatoes, onions and apples is washed more cleanly, and the applicability of the equipment is increased. When the conveying belt 203 rotates to move the fruit and vegetable food such as potatoes, onions and apples to the guide roller 202 at the end of the cleaning pool 101, the fixed plate 302 rotates with the rotation of the conveying belt 203, so that the opening end of the through hole 4 is inclined. At this time, the fruit and vegetable food such as potatoes, onions and apples on the bottom plate 601 can fall from the opening end of the through hole 4 to the buffer plate 7 under the action of gravity.
