[0002] Potatoes, scientifically known as Solanum tuberosum, are annual herbaceous plants of the Solanaceae family. They are also known as ground eggs and sweet potatoes. The fruit of potatoes is spherical, about 1.5 cm in diameter, and the seeds are kidney-shaped and yellow. They are deeply loved for their diverse cooking methods. Common ways of eating them include baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, fried shredded potatoes, potato stew, potato pancakes, etc.

[0003] In the potato flour production process, potato cleaning and desludging is a crucial step, which directly affects the quality and hygiene standards of the final product. Traditional potato cleaning methods often rely on manual operations, which are not only inefficient but also difficult to ensure uniformity and thoroughness of cleaning. In addition, the large amount of wastewater generated during the cleaning process will pollute the environment if it is directly discharged without treatment. With the continuous development of agricultural mechanization and automation technology, a variety of potato cleaning equipment has appeared on the market, but their efficiency and environmental protection still need to be improved. For example, although some equipment can achieve continuous cleaning of potatoes, there are still deficiencies in the stability of the conveyor belt and the cleaning effect; although other equipment is equipped with a wastewater treatment system, the treatment effect is limited and cannot fully meet environmental protection requirements. Therefore, we proposed a new potato desludging and cleaning device for potato flour production. Utility Model Content
