[0025] like Figs. 1-3 As shown in the figure, the potato screening and desliming device provided in this application embodiment includes a washing tank 100, a washing drum 200, and a water guide pipe 400. The washing tank 100 is a container used for desliming potatoes, and it is mounted on the ground via a floor support 110. A discharge port 130 and a feed port 120 are respectively provided on two opposite side plates 140 along the length of the washing tank 100, and both the discharge port 130 and the feed port 120 are connected to the interior of the washing tank 100. Preferably, the discharge port 130 and the feed port 120 can be semi-circular notches.

[0026] A plurality of cleaning rollers 200 are rotatably arranged in the cleaning box 100, and are arranged along the width direction of the cleaning box 100. The outer wall of each cleaning roller 200 is provided with a water leakage hole 210. The two ends of the cleaning roller 200 are respectively provided with ports which are in communication with the feeding port 120 and the discharging port 130 of the cleaning box 100. Through the ports, the potatoes to be cleaned can be poured into the cleaning roller 200. In addition, the ports can be provided with a cover plate in a hinged manner. Through the cover plate, the ports can be closed to ensure that the potatoes can roll in the cleaning roller 200. Preferably, the feeding port 120 and the discharging port 130 can be provided with a blocking plate, which can block the feeding port 120 and the discharging port 130.

[0027] In the embodiment, the inside of the cleaning box 100 is also provided with a water guide pipe 400. One end of the water guide pipe 400 penetrates through the cleaning box 100 and extends to the outside of the cleaning box 100. The part of the water guide pipe 400 outside the cleaning box 100 can be connected with a tap. In addition, the water guide pipe 400 is also connected with a plurality of water spraying pipes 500. The water spraying pipes 500 surround the cleaning roller 200 and are located at the middle position of the horizontal direction of the cleaning roller 200. The water spraying pipes 500 are provided with a spray head 600 near the cleaning roller 200. Through the water guide pipe 400, water can be supplied to the water spraying pipes 500 and the spray head 600, so that the spray head 600 sprays water to the cleaning roller 200. Since the outer wall of the cleaning roller 200 is provided with a water leakage hole 210, the water flow can pass through the water leakage hole 210 and contact the potatoes, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning and removing mud.

[0028] In the potato screening and mud removing device provided in the embodiment, the potatoes to be cleaned are placed in the cleaning roller 200, and then the driving motor 300 is started to drive the potatoes to rotate. At the same time, tap water is supplied into the water guide pipe 400, so that the tap water can enter the water spraying pipe 500 through the water guide pipe 400. The water spraying pipe 500 sprays tap water into the rotating cleaning roller 200 through the spray head 600. The potatoes placed in the cleaning roller 200 can be rotated and cleaned by the external water flow. By using the above structure, the rotating and spraying water flow can be used to clean a large number of potatoes accumulated in the cleaning roller 200, so as to achieve the purpose of thorough cleaning and mud removing. The mud and water after cleaning can enter the cleaning box 100 through the water leakage hole 210. In this way, the mud removing effect can be guaranteed, and the potatoes can be protected from being damaged due to excessive rotation of the cleaning roller 200.

[0029] In some embodiments, the tap water is sprayed to the cleaning drum 200 through the water guide pipe 400, the water spraying pipe 500 and the spray head 600, and then slowly accumulates in the inside of the cleaning tank 100. In actual use, the lower end of the cleaning drum 200 can be located below the liquid level of the cleaning tank 100 to achieve the function of mud removal cleaning by immersion. Of course, the inlet 120 and the outlet 130 of the cleaning tank 100 are located above the liquid level to prevent water leakage.

[0030] In some embodiments, the water spraying pipe 500 connected to the water guide pipe 400 can be a ring-shaped spraying pipe, which is a three-dimensional structure and can surround the cleaning drum 200. In addition, the three-dimensional ring-shaped spraying pipe is provided with a spray head 600, so that the potatoes in the cleaning drum 200 can be cleaned in all directions, thereby further improving the mud removal effect of the potatoes.

[0031] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the cleaning tank 100 is provided with a spiral auger 700, and the side of the cleaning tank 100 is provided with a drain port 800. The spiral auger 700 can discharge the wastewater in the cleaning tank 100 towards the direction of the drain port 800, thereby achieving the function of automatic drainage.
