[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In the present application, during the conveying process of the sweet potato, most of the soil will fall off through the gaps of the conveying roller chain. When the sweet potato falls onto the conical roller, the drive motor can be activated. After the motor is started, the drive shaft rotates accordingly and is decelerated through the planetary reducer, thereby driving the movable shaft to rotate. The rotation of the movable shaft drives the spiral roller brush on the conical roller to rotate, thereby cleaning the surface of the sweet potato and effectively removing the soil attached to the surface of the sweet potato.
[0016] 2. In the present application, during the cleaning process, the sweet potatoes will move along the cone roller axis. Since the front part of the cone roller is thicker and the rear part is thinner, as the sweet potatoes move in the forward direction, the gap between the cone rollers gradually increases. This design allows sweet potatoes of different sizes to fall into the small fruit outlet, the medium fruit outlet and the large fruit outlet in turn, thereby achieving classification while cleaning the sweet potatoes.
[0017] 3. In the present application, during the falling process of soil, the driving shaft drives the vertical transmission shaft to generate rotational motion, and then the rotational motion of the vertical transmission shaft is transmitted to the horizontal transmission shaft, thereby causing the horizontal transmission shaft to generate rotation, and the rotational motion is further transmitted to the rotating shaft, causing the rotating shaft to drive the crossflow fan blades to rotate at high speed in the discharge housing. This high-speed rotation forms a negative pressure effect in the discharge housing, thereby realizing the suction and discharge of the falling soil, and finally achieving the effect of separating the soil and the sweet potato.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution of a rear-mounted traction suspension type sweet potato soil cleaning device of a sweet potato harvester, comprising a harvester frame 2, a traction frame 1 is fixedly mounted on the harvester frame 2, a driving sprocket 4 is mounted inside the harvester frame 2, a conveying roller chain 3 is arranged on the driving sprocket 4, a sorting mechanism 5 is connected to the rear end of the harvester frame 2, a soil cleaning mechanism 6 is arranged on the sorting cabin 501, a dust discharge mechanism 7 is connected to the dust outlet 504, a soil turning plow 8 is fixedly mounted on the front end of the traction frame 1, a driving roller 9 is fixedly mounted on the driving sprocket 4, a second movable wheel 10 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the harvester frame 2, and a positioning wheel frame 505 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the sorting cabin 501. Through the coordinated use of the sorting mechanism 5 and the soil cleaning mechanism 6, the soil adhering to the surface of the sweet potato can be cleaned off, and the sweet potato can be sorted during the cleaning process, and the dust discharge mechanism 7 can suck the fallen soil into the discharge housing 702 and discharge it, so that the soil is separated from the sweet potato.
[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 Figure 5 As shown, the sorting mechanism 5 includes a sorting cabin 501 connected to the harvester frame 2, movable holes 502 are provided at both ends of the sorting cabin 501, dust outlets 504 are provided on both sides of the sorting cabin 501, a small fruit outlet 507, a medium fruit outlet 508 and a large fruit outlet 509 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the sorting cabin 501 in sequence, and the small fruit outlet 507, the medium fruit outlet 508 and the large fruit outlet 509 are staggered with each other, a positioning wheel frame 505 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the sorting cabin 501, and a first movable wheel 506 is rotatably installed on the positioning wheel frame 505, a positioning shaft 503 is fixedly installed on the sorting cabin 501, and the sorting cabin 501 is rotatably connected to the harvester frame 2 through the positioning shaft 503.
[0023] Specifically, in the process of cleaning the sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes will move along the axial direction of the tapered roller 603. The design of the tapered roller 603 is thicker at the front and thinner at the back, which means that as the sweet potatoes move in the forward direction, the gap between the tapered rollers 603 will gradually increase. Due to this change in the gap, sweet potatoes of different sizes will fall into different discharge ports in turn according to their sizes. Specifically, smaller sweet potatoes will fall into the small fruit outlet 507, medium-sized sweet potatoes will fall into the medium fruit outlet 508, and larger sweet potatoes will fall into the large fruit outlet 509. In this way, not only the cleaning of the sweet potatoes is achieved, but also the size classification and sorting of the sweet potatoes are completed at the same time, making the whole process both efficient and orderly.
[0024] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 Figure 7As shown, the soil cleaning mechanism 6 includes a movable shaft 602 rotatably installed in the sorting cabin 501 and a driving motor 601 fixedly installed at the front end of the sorting cabin 501, a driving shaft 607 is fixedly installed at the output end of the driving motor 601, and the end of the driving shaft 607 is fixedly installed on the movable shaft 602, a conical roller 603 is fixedly installed on the movable shaft 602, a spiral roller brush 604 is fixedly installed on the conical roller 603, a synchronous gear 606 is fixedly installed at the end of the movable shaft 602, and the synchronous gears 606 are meshed with each other, a planetary reducer 608 is provided on the driving shaft 607, and a protective cover 605 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the sorting cabin 501.
[0025] Specifically, during the conveying process of the sweet potatoes, most of the soil will leak out through the gaps on the conveying roller chain 3. When the sweet potatoes fall onto the conical roller 603, the drive motor 601 can be started. Once the drive motor 601 is started, it will start to drive the drive shaft 607 to rotate. During the rotation process, the drive shaft 607 will be decelerated by the planetary reducer 608, and then continue to drive the movable shaft 602 to rotate. While the movable shaft 602 is rotating, it will cause the spiral roller brush 604 on the conical roller 603 to start rotating. The rotation of the spiral roller brush 604 cleans the surface of the sweet potatoes and effectively cleans the soil adhering to the surface of the sweet potatoes.
[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 Figure 8 As shown, the dust exhaust mechanism 7 includes a discharge shell 702 fixedly installed at the dust outlet 504, a crossflow fan blade 701 is rotatably installed in the discharge shell 702, a rotating shaft 703 is fixedly installed on the crossflow fan blade 701, a horizontal transmission shaft 704 is rotatably installed at one end of the rotating shaft 703, a vertical transmission shaft 705 is provided between the horizontal transmission shaft 704 and the driving shaft 607, a mounting port 707 is opened on the discharge shell 702, and a bearing is provided in the mounting port 707, the rotating shaft 703 is movably installed in the discharge shell 702 through the bearing, and the driving shaft 607, the rotating shaft 703, the horizontal transmission shaft 704 and the vertical transmission shaft 705 are all provided with bevel gears 706, and the bevel gears 706 are meshed together in pairs.
[0027] Specifically, when the soil begins to fall, the drive shaft 607 will move accordingly, thereby driving the vertical transmission shaft 705 to start rotating. As the vertical transmission shaft 705 rotates, it will transfer power to the horizontal transmission shaft 704, causing the horizontal transmission shaft 704 to also start rotating. The rotation of the horizontal transmission shaft 704 will in turn drive the rotating shaft 703 to rotate together. The rotation of the rotating shaft 703 causes the crossflow blades 701 to rotate at high speed inside the discharge shell 702. Due to the high-speed rotation of the crossflow blades 701, a negative pressure area is formed inside the discharge shell 702. This negative pressure area can effectively suck the falling soil into the discharge shell 702, and discharge the soil through the discharge shell 702. Through this process, the soil is separated from the sweet potato.
[0028] Working principle: when in use, first connect the whole device to a tractor, then the whole device can be pulled forward by the tractor, when the whole device moves forward, the tilling plow 8 will turn up the potatoes under the ground, and the turned-up potatoes will be transported to the sorting cabin 501 by the conveying roller chain 3, and most of the soil of the potatoes will leak out through the gaps in the conveying roller chain 3 during transportation, and only a small part of the soil will adhere to the surface of the potatoes. After the potatoes with soil adhered are transported to the sorting cabin 501, they will fall onto the conical roller 603, and when the potatoes fall onto the conical roller 603, the drive motor 601 can be started, and after starting the drive motor 601, it will drive the drive shaft 607 to rotate, and after being decelerated by the planetary reducer 608, the drive shaft 607 will drive the movable shaft 602 to rotate, and when the movable shaft 602 rotates, it will drive the spiral roller brush 604 on the conical roller 603 to rotate, thereby cleaning the surface of the potatoes and cleaning the surface of the potatoes. The soil adhered to the surface is cleaned off. During the cleaning process, the sweet potatoes will move axially along the conical roller 603. The conical roller 603 is thick at the front and thin at the back. The gap between the conical rollers 603 will become larger and larger along the direction in which the sweet potatoes move forward. Sweet potatoes of different sizes will fall into the small fruit outlet 507, the medium fruit outlet 508 and the large fruit outlet 509 in turn, so that the sweet potatoes can be sorted while being cleaned. The cleaned soil will fall to the bottom of the sorting cabin 501. When the soil falls, the driving shaft 607 will drive the vertical transmission shaft 705 to rotate. When the vertical transmission shaft 705 rotates, it will drive the horizontal transmission shaft 704 to rotate. When the horizontal transmission shaft 704 rotates, it will drive the rotating shaft 703 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 703 rotates, it will drive the crossflow fan blades 701 to rotate at high speed in the discharge shell 702, thereby forming a negative pressure in the discharge shell 702, sucking the falling soil into the discharge shell 702 and discharging it, so that the soil is separated from the sweet potatoes.
[0029] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
