[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. The components of the present application implemented as described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] refer to Figure 1-5 , a root vegetable washing machine, comprising a frame 1, a drum 2, a discharge hopper 3, and a driving module 4 for driving the drum to rotate; it also includes a conveying unit 5 for conveying root vegetables through the drum, a fine washing unit 6, and a watering unit for watering the drum and the fine washing unit; the drum is composed of a drum base 21, a plurality of connecting rods 22, and a baffle 23; one end of the connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the front end of the drum base 21, and the other end is fixedly connected to the baffle 23; bristles are provided on the inner wall of the drum base 21; the frame 1 is provided with a cleaning groove 11; the drum 2 is hinged to the cleaning groove 11; the conveying unit 5 is located inside the drum 2; the fine washing unit 6 is located directly below the connecting rod 22; the watering unit is fixedly connected to the frame 1; the discharge hopper 3 is arranged on one side of the cleaning groove 11 close to the bottom of the drum base 21.

[0025] In this embodiment, the specific working process of the root vegetable cleaning machine is as follows: first, the root vegetables are placed in the discharge hopper 3, and the root vegetables slide into the drum 2 through the discharge port; then, the water spraying unit sprays water on the drum 2 and the fine washing unit 6, the drum 2 starts to rotate, the conveying unit 5 conveys the root vegetables forward, and the bristles in the drum 2 clean the debris on the surface of the root vegetables; then the root vegetables enter the fine washing unit 6 located under the drum 2 for a second cleaning to rinse off the remaining debris; finally, the cleaned root vegetables are placed in the corresponding place.

[0026] Preferably, the cleaning tank 11 is provided with a feed port; the discharge hopper 3 is provided with a discharge port matched with the feed port; the feed port is located in the lower half of the axis of the base of the drum 2, and the root vegetables slide into the drum 2 from the discharge port.

[0027] In this embodiment, the feed inlet is located at the lower half of the drum 2 to reduce the height and prevent the root vegetables from falling and getting injured.

[0028] Preferably, the plurality of connecting rods 22 are distributed in a circular array between the drum base 21 and the baffle 23 ; the side of the drum base 21 is provided with a plurality of through holes 211 for filtering mud and sand in root vegetables; the baffle 23 is provided with a boss 231 ; the boss 231 is hinged to the cleaning tank 11 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the drum 2 rotates in the cleaning tank 11 in the frame 1. The function of the cleaning tank 11 is to prevent the water in the cleaning process from spilling out to the outside and to place the debris filtered out by the through holes. After the root vegetables are cleaned in the drum 2, they fall into the fine washing unit 6 from the space between the two connecting rods 22.

[0030] Preferably, the conveying unit 5 includes a spiral sheet 51 and a fixed rod 52; the spiral sheet 51 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 52; one end of the fixed rod 52 is fixedly connected to the boss 231, and the other end is hinged to the cleaning tank 11; the edge of the spiral sheet 51 contacts the inner wall of the drum base 21.

[0031] In this embodiment, the spiral blade 51 is welded to the fixing rod 52 and contacts the inner wall of the drum base 21. The purpose is that when the drum 2 rotates for cleaning, the edge of the spiral blade 51 will not contact the root vegetables, thereby preventing the root vegetables from being scratched.

[0032] Preferably, the water spraying unit includes a first water spraying pipeline located on both sides of the cleaning tank 11 and a second water spraying pipeline located on both sides of the fine washing unit.

[0033] Preferably, the fine washing unit 6 includes a plurality of rotating rods 61 and a water collecting tank 62 ; the plurality of rotating rods 61 are fixed inside the water collecting tank 62 and their heights are gradually reduced; and the second water spraying pipeline is located above the rotating rods 61 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the plurality of rotating rods 61 are arranged in a gradually decreasing height so that when the root vegetables enter the rotating rods from the drum 2, they automatically pass through the plurality of rotating rods 61 to complete the fine washing.

[0035] It should be noted that there is a certain distance between the rotating rods 61, and the rotating rods 61 can rotate. When the root vegetables pass through multiple transmission rods 61, the second watering pipeline sprays water, and the rotating rods 61 drive the root vegetables to rotate and move, so that the debris of the root vegetables falls into the water collecting tank 62 through the gaps between the transmission rods 61.

[0036] Preferably, a detachable sewage trough 12 is provided at the bottom of the frame 1; the cleaning trough 11 is provided with a first drainage hole 111; the water collecting trough 62 is provided with a second drainage hole 621; the first drainage hole 111 and the second drainage hole 621 are used to guide the sewage to the sewage trough 12.

[0037] Preferably, the driving module 4 comprises a motor and a pulley; the motor is fixed to the bottom of the frame; the pulley is fixedly connected to the roller; the motor and the pulley are connected via a belt.

[0038] In summary, the comprehensive advantages of this case are:

[0039] 1. The method of combining the spiral rod and the drum instead of welding the drum and the spiral blade can prevent the spiral blade from scratching the root vegetables during the rotation of the drum.

[0040] 2. A fine washing channel is formed by arranging multiple rotating rods under the drum, which improves the cleaning effect and reduces the floor space.

[0041] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
