Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning and sorting tools for dried sweet potatoes, and in particular to a cleaning and sorting device for sweet potato processing. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional sweet potato washing primarily relies on manual labor, with workers washing each sweet potato individually in troughs or pools. This method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also struggles to ensure consistent washing results. It is difficult to thoroughly remove firmly attached dirt and impurities, and wastewater from washing dried sweet potatoes can easily flow throughout the workshop, posing hidden safety hazards to workers. Furthermore, traditional sweet potato washing mainly depends on manual sorting based on size, shape, and appearance defects. This method is highly subjective, making it difficult to standardize sorting criteria and prone to misjudgments and omissions. Moreover, manual sorting is slow and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. Therefore, improvements are needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0022] Working principle: When using this utility model, first check if there are any small sweet potatoes in the sludge collection platform 7, then check if the water storage tank 9 is empty. If it is empty, fill it up. After checking, turn on the power to the equipment, open the washing cylinder 2, put the sweet potatoes into the washing cylinder 2, turn on the washing motor 3, and turn on the spray gun 4. The sweet potatoes will remove most of the mud and sand in the washing cylinder 2 through their own compression and the high pressure of the spray gun 4. After washing, turn off the washing motor 3, open the washing cylinder 2, and then turn on the washing motor 3 again to reduce its power. When the micro motor is turned on, the main push rod 17 will reciprocate within the washing tank 1. Due to the special design of the inlet end of the drain trough 6, smaller, unqualified sweet potatoes will flow with the drain trough 6 to the collection platform 7 during the reciprocating motion of the main push rod 17, completing the initial sorting. The remaining sweet potatoes will be conveyed to the sliding platform 18 through the auxiliary platform 10 and the washing tank 1. After the sweet potatoes reach the sliding platform 18, they can be manually sorted a second time. After cleaning, the sweet potatoes in the collection platform 7 are collected, the mud and sand are poured out, and then the power is turned off.
