[0026] During desalination, fly ash is added to the filter screen 37. At this time, water enters the housing 6 through the water inlet pipe 7 to wash the fly ash in the filter screen 37 and dissolve the soluble salts in the fly ash in the water. Then the water is discharged through the outlet pipe 10 to complete the desalination of the fly ash. Then the first servo motor 2 drives the bearing shaft 8 to rotate, so that the bearing shaft 8 drives the tooth plate 12 to move through the gear and other components, thereby driving the guide rail 30 and the removal plate 31 to move.
