[0017] To make the purpose, principle and structure of this utility model clearer, the following description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] See Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a plant leaf crushing and cleaning integrated machine, which includes a crushing chamber 2 and a cleaning chamber 3.

[0019] The crushing chamber 2 includes a feeding hopper 1, a frame plate 16, and a frame side plate 19 forming a frame, which is fixedly installed under the support of a bracket 17. The frame includes a pair of meshing gears 4. A reducer 14 and a coupling 15 are also installed on the frame. The reducer 14 is connected to the gears 4 through the coupling 15, passing through the frame side plate 19, to transmit driving force. The gears 4 rotate under the rotational torque of the reducer 14. By controlling the rotation between the gears 4 and adjusting the center distance between the driving and driven gears, the width requirements of different plant leaves can be met, achieving the crushing of plant leaves. For example, by controlling the rotation of the two gears 4, the convex teeth of the gears 4 collide, and the plant leaves between the convex teeth can be crushed.

[0020] A cleaning chamber 3 is located below the frame. The cleaning chamber 3 includes an upper cleaning chamber 3.1 and a lower cleaning chamber 3.2. The cleaning chamber 3 is composed of a shell 18, which is an inclined, hollow rectangular shell structure. The upper opening of the shell 18 mates with the lower opening of the frame. Several nozzles 6 are evenly distributed on the upper and lower sides of the shell 18, passing through it. The outer ends of the nozzles 6 are connected via several cleaning water pipes 13, each with an inlet at its top. Pressurized cleaning water can be injected into the cleaning water pipes 13 through the inlets and then sprayed from the nozzles 6 onto the broken leaves to achieve cleaning.

[0021] A wire mesh belt 5 is also installed inside the outer casing 18. The wire mesh belt 5 has a dense mesh structure and is located in the center of the outer casing 18. The two sides of the wire mesh belt 5 are sealed to the outer casing 18, and the upper end of the wire mesh belt 5 is connected to the bottom end of the crushing chamber 2, dividing the cleaning chamber 3 inside the outer casing 18 into an upper cleaning chamber 3.1 and a lower cleaning chamber 3.2. This ensures that the broken plant leaves in the crushing chamber 2 can only fall onto the upper surface of the wire mesh belt 5, that is, the broken plant leaves can only fall into the upper cleaning chamber 3.1. The nozzle 6 rinses the broken plant leaves in the upper cleaning chamber 3.1, and the nozzle 6 in the lower cleaning chamber 3.2 rinses the broken leaves falling onto the wire mesh 5 from the opposite side of the wire mesh 5. After rinsing, the broken plant leaves can slide down the inclined wire mesh belt 5. The rinsed wastewater can permeate through the wire mesh belt 5 and fall into the lower cleaning chamber 3.2, and the wastewater can flow down the inclined inner wall of the outer casing 18 inside the lower cleaning chamber 3.2. The above-mentioned technical features enable solid-liquid separation of broken plant leaves after rinsing.

[0022] The lower end of the outer casing 18 is provided with a base plate and two openings. The base plate is connected to the bracket 17 to support the outer casing 18. One opening is a drain outlet 7 located at the bottom of the lower cleaning chamber 3.2, and the other opening is an open opening located at the bottom of the upper cleaning chamber 3.1. The upper end of the open opening is the end of the outer casing 18, and the lower end is the end of the wire mesh belt 5.

[0023] A conveying device is located below the open opening, comprising a roller conveyor belt 9 and a water collection tray 11 positioned below the roller conveyor belt 9. A watering basket 10 is also positioned above the roller conveyor belt 9. The watering basket 10 has a wire mesh structure on its periphery and lower end, and an open structure on its upper end. The water collection tray 11 is inclined and has a drain outlet 12 at its bottom. Washed, broken plant leaves sliding off the wire mesh belt 5 fall into the wire mesh watering basket 10. Excess water can permeate through the watering basket 10, pass through the rollers of the roller conveyor belt 9, drip into the water collection tray 11, and drain out through the drain outlet 12. The watering basket 10 can move along the roller conveyor belt 9 under the drive of the rollers, thus transporting the watering basket 10 carrying the washed, broken plant leaves.

[0024] Wastewater in the lower cleaning chamber 3.2 can flow downwards along the inner wall of the outer casing 18 and finally be discharged from the drain outlet 7. See also... Figure 4 , 5 The schematic diagram of the device operation uses several arrows to indicate the direction of the material (cleaned broken plant leaves) and the liquid (rinsing water and sewage).

[0025] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and novel concept of this utility model, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
