[0021] Refer to the appendix Figures 2 - 4 , a discharge pipe 103 is connected to the bottom of the cleaning barrel 101. The cleaned tangerine peel is discharged from the cleaning barrel 101 through the discharge pipe 103. A rotating shaft 108 is rotatably installed on the discharge pipe 103. A baffle 109 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 108. A second motor 110 is arranged on the discharge pipe 103, and the output shaft of the second motor 110 is connected to the rotating shaft 108. When in use, the second motor 110 is turned on, and the second motor 110 drives the rotating shaft 108 and the baffle 109 to rotate. When the baffle 109 is parallel to the discharge pipe 103, the discharge pipe 103 can be closed, and at this time the tangerine peel cannot be discharged from the cleaning barrel 101. As the baffle 109 rotates, the tangerine peel can be discharged from the cleaning barrel 101, realizing flexible control of the discharge of the tangerine peel and facilitating the operator to operate according to actual needs.

[0022] Refer to the appendix Figure 5 and Figure 6, the water drainage component 2 is arranged below the discharge pipe 103 and includes a vertically connected vertical channel 201 and an inclined channel 202. The vertical channel 201 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 103. At the same time, a number of water drainage holes 205 are provided at the bottom of both the vertical channel 201 and the inclined channel 202, which helps to quickly drain the water on the surface of the tangerine peel. An electric push rod 203 is arranged on one side of the vertical channel 201 away from the inclined channel 202. The end of the piston rod of the electric push rod 203 is fixedly connected with a push plate 204. The push plate 204 is arranged inside the vertical channel 201, and the bottom surface of the push plate 204 fits against the inner wall surface of the bottom of the vertical channel 201. When the tangerine peel falls into the vertical channel 201, the operator turns on the electric push rod 203, and the piston rod of the electric push rod 203 drives the push plate 204 to move, pushing the tangerine peel that has fallen to the bottom of the vertical channel 201 into the inclined channel 202.
