The top inner wall of the cleaning case 1 is fixedly connected to one end of the reset spring 6, and the other end of the reset spring 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the dredging plate 3. When the dredging plate 3 moves upward, the reset spring 6 is stretched. When resetting, the elastic force of the reset spring 6 is used to pull the dredging plate 3 to reset. The dredging plate 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning case 1, and the scraper 9 contacts the inner wall of the cleaning case 1, and the top of the scraper 9 contacts the bottom end of the fixed block 5.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The output end of the motor 11 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the rotating rod 13, and the right side wall of the rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the reciprocating screw rod 7. The output end of the motor 11 provides power to make the rotating rod 13 and the reciprocating screw rod 7 rotate counterclockwise. The inner wall of the filter screen 2 is plugged into the top of the dredging plate 3. The roller 16 penetrates and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the collection box 18. The roller 16 penetrates and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the deceleration plate 17. The deceleration plate 17 is placed at an angle and has multiple groups of deceleration blocks on its surface to slow down the speed of the potatoes when they roll down and prevent the potatoes from causing greater damage to the surface due to collisions with each other.

[0030] Working principle: When washing potatoes, firstly, you need to turn on the external power supply to rotate the brush 19, turn on the external water source to let the water spray head 20 spray water, and then put the potatoes into the washing machine box 1. After the potatoes enter the washing machine box 1, the water spray head 20 will spray water on the surface of the potatoes, and the multiple groups of brushes 19 will rotate counterclockwise to clean the mud and sand on the surface of the potatoes. At the same time, the brush 19 will move the potatoes to the left. When the potatoes roll to the leftmost end of the washing machine box 1, the washing is completed, and the motor 11 is turned on. The motor 11 will drive the rotating rod 13 to rotate counterclockwise, and the rotating rod 13 will drive the bevel gear 10 Keeping the same motion trajectory, bevel gear 1 10 drives bevel gear 2 12 to move counterclockwise, and bevel gear 2 12 rotates counterclockwise with roller 16 through transmission mechanism 15. When the potatoes are sent to the rightmost end of deceleration plate 17 by the leftmost brush 19, the potatoes will roll downward. When the potatoes touch roller 16 and enter the holes on roller 16, roller 16 will move counterclockwise to send the potatoes to the other side of deceleration plate 17. The potatoes will be blocked by the deceleration block on deceleration plate 17 and will slowly roll downward and roll into collection box 18. When the potatoes need to be washed again, just repeat the above steps.

[0031] When cleaning the box or dredging the filter 2, the motor 11 is still in the on state, the motor 11 will drive the rotating rod 13 to rotate counterclockwise, and the rotating rod 13 will have the same motion trajectory with the reciprocating screw rod 7. When the reciprocating screw rod 7 rotates, the sliding block 8 will move to the right along the thread of the reciprocating screw rod 7, and the sliding block 8 will drive the scraper 9 to move to the right. The scraper 9 will contact the fixed block 5 during the rightward movement, and the scraper 9 will squeeze the curved surface of the fixed block 5, so that the fixed block 5 moves upward, and the fixed block 5 brings the dredging plate 3 to The dredging plate 3 moves upward and stretches the reset spring 6. The dredging plate 3 moves upward and plugs into the holes on the filter screen 2. The protrusions on the dredging plate 3 will squeeze upward and discharge the silt accumulated in the filter screen 2 to the surrounding areas. After dredging, the sewage will flow downward from the drain trough 4. When the scraper 9 no longer contacts the fixed block 5, the reverse elastic force of the reset spring 6 is used to pull the dredging plate 3 to reset. When the sliding block 8 moves to the rightmost end of the reciprocating screw rod 7, it will change the motion trajectory to move to the left, and continue to repeat the above steps.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
