In this embodiment, stirring blades can be installed on the eccentric roller 4 and the concentric roller 7 to cooperate in stirring.

[0026] During application, the soil enters the cavity 1 through the soil inlet 2. The eccentric roller 4 rotates and initially crushes the soil. The initially crushed soil passes through the central opening below the conical guide plate 5 and is then further crushed by the concentric roller 7. At the same time, it is mixed with the water flow from the high-pressure water spray pipe 8. Finally, it is stirred by the agitator 9 to form a slurry.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] The main structure of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 1, except that:

[0029] Reference Figure 2In this embodiment, the surface of the eccentric roller 4 is provided with a plurality of annular racks 10, and the annular racks 10 on the two eccentric rollers 4 are arranged in an alternating pattern so that the rotation of the two eccentric rollers 4 does not affect each other; a plurality of mounting holes 11 are provided on both sides of the annular racks 10, and a first rotating shaft 13 is mounted in the mounting holes 11 by a torsion spring 12, and a first stirring paddle 14 is mounted on the first rotating shaft 13, which can break up the soil; a universal ball joint 15 is installed in the mounting holes 11, and the first rotating shaft 13 is mounted on the universal ball joint 15, which can move flexibly; a flexible washer 21 is installed on the outer end of the mounting hole 11, and the first rotating shaft 13 is interference-fitted with the flexible washer 21. The flexible washer 21 can prevent soil from entering the mounting hole 11 and does not affect the rotation of the first rotating shaft 13.
