Under the influence of the pressure and the gravity of the draining basket 322, the draining basket 322 moves longitudinally back and forth, the inner wall of the bottom end of the cleaning box 1 is high around and low in the middle, and the sewage and impurities are gathered at the center of the inner wall of the bottom end of the cleaning box 1.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , the water pumping assembly includes a bent pipe 411, and the lower surface of the cleaning box 1 is provided with a water pump 412. The water pump 412 is a prior art and can be implemented by those skilled in the art. Since it is a prior art, it will not be described in detail in this case. The filtering assembly includes a filter plate 421, which can block and filter the soil entering the bent pipe 411, facilitate subsequent regular cleaning, and the inner wall of the left side section of the bent pipe 411 is provided with an inclined surface, and the soil is accumulated at the inclined surface. The outer wall of the bent pipe 411 is fixedly connected with a fixed ring 422, the inner wall of the fixed ring 422 is elastically connected with a sealing plate 424 through a compression spring 425, the left surface of the sealing plate 424 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 426, the left surface of the connecting rod 426 is fixedly connected with a pull ring 423, and the connecting rod 426, the pull ring 423 and the sealing plate 424 move synchronously. The lower surface of the bent pipe 411 is provided with a through slot 4201.

[0038] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5The water pump 412 is arranged at one end of the elbow pipe 411, and the other end of the elbow pipe 411 is located above the cleaning tank 1. The filtered water falls into the cleaning tank 1 from the other end of the elbow pipe 411, and is recycled. The filter plate 421 is fixedly connected to the middle section of the inner wall of the elbow pipe 411, and the through groove 4201 is located on the left side of the filter plate 421. The upper surface of the sealing plate 424 is made of rubber, and the upper surface of the sealing plate 424 is attached to the outer wall of the elbow pipe 411. The sealing plate 424 is located directly below the through groove 4201. When the sealing plate 424 moves to the left, the through groove 4201 leaks, and the impurities blocked by the filter plate 421 can fall down. The connecting rod 426 penetrates and is slidingly connected to the left surface of the pull ring 423, and moves horizontally. The sealing plate 424 is slidingly connected to the inner wall of the fixed ring 422. One end of the compression spring 425 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the sealing plate 424, and the other end of the compression spring 425 is fixedly connected to the inner wall on the left side of the fixed ring 422. When the sealing plate 424 moves to the left, the compression spring 425 is compressed to generate a reaction force. Without external force, the elastic force of the compression spring 425 pushes the sealing plate 424 to the right, blocks the through groove 4201, and prevents water from leaking out.

[0039] Working principle: first, insert the draining basket 322 into the support frame 318, then place different types of corn root systems in different draining baskets 322, then pour water into the cleaning tank 1, and start the motor 312 to drive the rotating shaft 313 to rotate. The rotating shaft 313 is connected to the connecting plate 314, so that the connecting plate 314 rotates synchronously.

[0040] The rotating connecting plate 314 drives the guide rod 315 to move in a circular motion around the rotating shaft 313. When the guide rod 315 moves in a circular motion, it moves longitudinally along the inner wall of the positioning plate 316, and at the same time, it presses the inner wall of the positioning plate 316, so that the positioning plate 316 drives the positioning rod 317 to move back and forth, and the positioning rod 317 drives the support frame 318 and the draining basket 322 to move back and forth synchronously, so that the water flows and the corn root systems are cleaned. When the draining basket 322 moves back and forth, the draining basket 322 is pressed by the wedge block 321, and under the action of its own gravity, it moves back and forth in the longitudinal direction, further improving the cleaning effect. At the same time, the hollow design of the support frame 318 and the draining basket 322 around and below them does not hinder the soil from being discharged with the water flow, and prevents the corn root systems from falling off.

[0041] When the water pump 412 is started, the water at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 is pumped out through the elbow pipe 411. In the elbow pipe 411, the filter plate 421 blocks and filters the impurities such as soil in the water. The soil is accumulated at the left side of the elbow pipe 411 at the middle section of the inclined surface of the filter plate 421, and the filtered water continues to flow and flows back to the upper part of the cleaning tank 1 from the other end of the elbow pipe 411, so as to realize the recycling of the water. When it is necessary to clean the accumulated impurities, the pull ring 423 drives the connecting rod 426 and the sealing plate 424 to move to the left, and the compression spring 425 is squeezed. At this time, the through slot 4201 is opened, and the accumulated impurities on the left side of the filter plate 421 fall from the through slot 4201 under the action of gravity, and the cleaning of the impurities is completed. After the pull ring 423 is released, the elastic force of the compression spring 425 makes the sealing plate 424 move to the right, and the through slot 4201 is resealed to prevent water leakage.

[0042] After cleaning, the drain basket 322 can be taken out by holding the handle 323.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and not for limiting the present application, although the foregoing detailed description of the present application, for the person skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, within the spirit and principles of the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included in the scope of the present application.
