[0046] When the lotus root machine drives in the field, the upper computer 9 provides power for the hydraulic system of the whole machine. The track 14 is driven to rotate by the hydraulic motor, and at the same time, the skid lifting cylinder 15-5 is controlled to extend, driving the swing rod 15-4 to rotate, lowering the height of the skid 15-1, so that the skid 15-1 contacts the soil and supports part of the gravity of the whole machine, reducing the depth of the track 14 sinking.

Then, the jet flow excavating shovel cylinder 4 and the bucket rod cylinder 7 are controlled to cooperate with each other to complete the digging work. During this operation, the hydraulic system continues to work. After the jet flow excavating shovel 1 enters the soil, the spout nozzles 1-8 impact the soil from bottom to top, reducing the digging resistance. The jet flow excavating shovel 1 digs out the mixture of lotus root and soil and lifts it up. During the lifting process, the spout nozzles 1-8 continuously spray water flow to separate the lotus root from the soil.

The hydraulic system comprises three water pumps, a filtering device connected with the water inlet pipe of the water pump, a water delivery pipe connected with the water outlet pipe of the water pump, and a water distribution device connected with the water delivery pipe, wherein two water pumps are directly welded with the main body frame and arranged side by side at the rear end of the track float pontoon type chassis, and one water pump is welded with the upper end of the water pump float platform which is composed of a float platform and a float platform frame; The water distribution device comprises two side water inlet distribution devices and one centralized water distribution device which are all fixed with the main body frame, and the two side water inlet distribution devices and the one centralized water distribution device are arranged at the front end of the main body frame, the side water inlet distribution devices supply water for the spout nozzles, and the centralized water distribution device supplies water for the nozzles of the side jet group crossbeam.

2. The fluidic excavating digger of claim 1, wherein: The tooth body is composed of an upper cylindrical segment, a middle square tube segment and a lower bent segment which are connected in sequence, the upper cylindrical segment is provided with an external thread which is fixed with the crossbeam through thread connection, and the bending angle of the lower bent segment is 100°.

3. The fluidic excavating digger of claim 1, wherein: A tooth steel bar is welded between two adjacent tooth bodies, the interval between the two adjacent tooth bodies is 140mm, and after the tooth steel bar is added, the gap is 70mm.

4. The method of using a fluid jet excavating excavator as described in claim 1 wherein: The method comprises the following steps: Step 1: preparation: before use, start the hydraulic motor to drive the driving wheel to rotate, and then drive the track to wind and move forward, at the same time, the skid lifting cylinder is extended to lower the height of the skid, so that the skid contacts the soil to support part of the gravity of the whole machine, stop walking after driving to the working area, control the side jet group crossbeam on both sides of the crossbeam to open, control the boom cylinder, arm cylinder and jet digging shovel cylinder to contract, adjust the jet digging shovel to the appropriate digging angle and height, so that the jet digging shovel contacts the soil, and start the water pump in the hydraulic system; Step 2: digging operation: control the jet digging shovel cylinder and the arm cylinder to extend to drive the jet digging shovel to dig, as the digging depth increases, the lotus root and soil move to the inside of the jet digging shovel along one side of the tooth, and move upward under the driving of the jet digging shovel, at the same time, the spout nozzle sprays high-speed water flow to continuously flush the mixture of lotus root and soil, after reaching the specified digging depth, control the boom cylinder to quickly and repeatedly extend and contract to promote the separation of lotus root and soil, after the lotus root is separated, contract the jet digging shovel cylinder to unload the soil on the tooth; For the flushing area of the two side nozzles, rotate the jet digging system to supplement the digging, and repeatedly perform the above digging action for multiple times to improve the lotus root digging rate.
