[0028] The cleaning mechanism includes a brush plate 38, an adjusting seat 31 installed on the top of the bucket lid 24, a through groove 32 through the adjusting seat 31 at the bottom of the bucket lid 24, a screw 33 rotatably connected to the inner side of the adjusting seat 31, one end of the screw 33 extending to the outside of the adjusting seat 31 and connected to a crank 34, a slider 35 threadedly connected to the screw 33, limit grooves 36 being opened on both sides of the inner wall of the adjusting seat 31, the two ends of the slider 35 being slidably connected to the two sets of limit grooves 36 respectively, a connecting rod 37 passing through the inner side of the through groove 32, one end of the connecting rod 37 being connected to the bottom of the slider 35, and the other end of the connecting rod 37 being connected to the brush plate 38.

[0029] Specifically, the vehicle body 1 provides a stable working platform for separating fruit pulp and juice in plant-based beverages. The drive mechanism rotates the tank 4, allowing the pulp and residue inside the tank 4 and filter cartridge 13 to be poured out. The lifting mechanism moves the lid 24 up and down, facilitating the closing of the tank 4 and the resetting of the pressing mechanism. The pressing mechanism presses the pulp inside the filter cartridge 13, and the extracted juice flows through the filter cartridge 13 into the tank 4 for collection. When cleaning the filter cartridge 13 is required, [the following steps are taken]. Turning the crank handle 34 causes the screw 33 to rotate. The screw 33, through its threaded connection with the slider 35, causes the slider 35 to move to one side along the adjusting seat 31. The slider 35 then causes the connecting rod 37 and the brush plate 38 to move to one side and come into contact with the filter cartridge 13. With the cooperation of the set rotation mechanism, the filter cartridge 13 can be rotated, so that the brush plate 38 can clean the rotating filter cartridge 13.

The driving gear 6, through its meshing with the driven gear 5, can drive the driven gear 5 to rotate. The driven gear 5 can drive the rotating shaft 3 to rotate. Under the combined action of the two sets of rotating shafts 3, the barrel 4 can be rotated, thereby emptying the pulp and residue inside the barrel 4 and the filter cartridge 13. Each side of the two sets of fixed plates 2 is provided with a limiting plate 9, and both sides of the barrel 4 are provided with abutment plates 10 that are adapted to the limiting plate 9. The rotation of the barrel 4 can be limited by the limiting plate 9 and the abutment plates 10.

[0033] The barrel 4 has a discharge pipe 11 installed on one side near the bottom, and a notch 39 is provided on one side of the vehicle body 1. The discharge pipe 11 facilitates the output of the separated juice, and the notch 39 facilitates the rotation of the barrel 4, providing it with sufficient space to move.

[0034] Working principle: First, the chopped fruit pulp is placed inside the filter cylinder 13. Then, by starting the third motor 21, the third motor 21 drives the drive gear 20 to rotate. The drive gear 20 drives the rack plate 19 to move downward along the fixed frame 18. The rack plate 19 drives the connecting plate 23 and the lid 24 to move downward, thus facilitating the closing of the barrel 4 and the reset of the pressing mechanism. Next, by starting the fourth motor 29, the fourth motor 29 drives the spur gear 28 to rotate. The spur gear 28 drives the lifting rod 25 to move downward. The lifting rod 25 drives the pressure plate 30 connected at the bottom to move downward along the filter cylinder 13, thus pressing the fruit pulp placed inside the filter cylinder 13. The pressed juice flows through the filter cylinder 13 into the barrel 4. The filter cartridge 13 is collected and discharged through the discharge pipe 11. When cleaning is required, the crank handle 34 is turned, which drives the screw 33 to rotate. The screw 33 drives the slider 35 to move to one side along the adjusting seat 31. The slider 35 drives the connecting rod 37 and the brush plate 38 to move to one side and fit into the filter cartridge 13. Then, the second motor 17 is started, which drives the active turntable 16 to rotate. The active turntable 16 drives the driven turntable 14 to rotate.
