[0020] As Figures 1-5 shown, a sweet potato processing and cleaning device, which comprises a receiving housing 1, feeding plate 2 and discharge plate 3 are respectively arranged at both ends of the receiving housing 1, and further comprises a cleaning box 4 and a conveying and overturning mechanism 5, the cleaning box 4 is arranged at the middle of the upper part of the receiving housing 1, the cleaning box 4 and the same side wall of the receiving housing 1 are provided with a circulating assembly 6, the conveying and overturning mechanism 5 is rotationally connected between the opposite side walls of the receiving housing 1 and is arranged in uniform intervals along the length direction of the receiving housing 1, a rotary motor 7 is installed on the side wall of the receiving housing 1 for driving the overturning and conveying mechanism to rotate, the feeding plate 2 and the discharge plate 3 are of mesh structure and are arranged in downward inclination, the bottom end of the discharge plate 3 is in the same height with the feeding plate 2 and is located above the conveying wheel 10, the upper wall of the feeding plate 2 is provided with a partition 19, the partitions 19 are arranged in equal intervals along the horizontal direction of the feeding plate 2, the feeding channels 20 are formed between the adjacent partitions 19, the sweet potatoes are slid into the receiving housing 1 from the feeding channels 20 along the slope of the feeding plate 2, the sweet potatoes are conveyed along the length direction of the receiving housing 1 by the conveying and overturning mechanism 5 and are overturned, and then pass through the cleaning box 4, the sweet potatoes are cleaned by the water sprayed from the cleaning box 4, when the sweet potatoes move to the side of the discharge plate 3, the sweet potatoes are pushed in sequence and then fall out of the discharge plate 3 in upward inclination.
[0021] As Figures 2-5As shown, to transport the sweet potatoes along the length of the housing 1 and maintain their rotation during movement, the conveying and rotating mechanism 5 includes a rotating rod 8, a transmission wheel 9, and a conveying wheel 10. The rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the opposite inner sidewall of the housing 1, and one end of the rotating rod 8 extends through the sidewall of the housing 1 to the outside of the housing 1. The conveying wheel 10 is fixedly connected to the outer sidewall of the rotating rod 8 and is arranged at equal intervals along the axial direction of the rotating rod 8. The transmission wheel 9 is fixedly connected to the outer sidewall of the end of the rotating rod 8 that extends out of the housing 1, and the transmission wheels 9 are arranged in parallel. The rotating rods 8 are arranged at uniform intervals along the length of the housing 1, and a belt 11 is wound between the transmission wheels 9 on the outer sidewall of one end of adjacent rotating rods 8. 8 is driven sequentially by belt 11. One end of one rotating rod 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor 7. The conveyor wheels 10 on adjacent rotating rods 8 are arranged in a staggered manner. The outer circumference of the conveyor wheel 10 has a groove 12. The inner sidewalls of the groove 12 are rotatably connected to the push roller 13. The push roller 13 is arranged in an inclined path and is arranged in a ring around the rotating rod 8. The rotary motor 7 is driven to rotate, which drives one of the rotating rods 8 to rotate. Adjacent rotating rods 8 are connected to belt 11 by transmission wheel 9 to achieve synchronous rotation, so that the staggered conveyor wheels 10 rotate. At the same time, the push roller 13 on the surface of the conveyor wheel 10 rotates obliquely after contacting the sweet potato and pushes the sweet potato to flip, so as to realize the flipping and conveying of the sweet potato.
[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to achieve downward water spraying from the cleaning box 4 to rinse the surface of the sweet potato, a support plate 14 is fixedly connected between the storage shell 1 and the cleaning box 4. The support plate 14 is fixedly connected to both sides of the upper wall of the storage shell 1. The bottom wall of the cleaning box 4 has a through hole 15, and a rubber valve 16 is provided in the through hole 15. The circulation component 6 includes a water pump 17 and a connecting pipe 18. The water pump 17 is installed on the side wall of the cleaning box 4. One end of the connecting pipe 18 is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 17, and the other end of the connecting pipe 18 is connected to the inside of the storage shell 1. The water in the storage shell 1 is drawn and circulated by the water pump 17. A filter screen can be set at the end of the connecting pipe 18 connected to the storage shell 1 for filtration to prevent the water pump 17 from sucking in impurities. The water pump 17 delivers water to the cleaning box 4, increasing the water pressure inside the cleaning box 4. When the pressure reaches a certain level, it opens the rubber valve 16 and sprays a water jet downward. The dense water jet acts on the surface of the turned sweet potato to achieve cleaning.
[0023] In actual use, the operator adds clean water into the housing 1, so that it covers the conveyor wheel 10 and is located below the opening at the top of the housing 1;
[0024] Drive the water pump 17 to draw water from inside the housing 1 through the connecting pipe 18 and pump it into the cleaning box 4. Increase the water pressure in the cleaning box 4. When the pressure reaches a certain level, it opens the rubber valve 16 and sprays water jets downward to form a dense water jet.
[0025] The sweet potato is fed into the feeding channel 20 and slides into the storage housing 1 along the slope of the feeding plate 2. The rotary motor 7 is driven to rotate, which drives one of the rotating rods 8 to rotate. The adjacent rotating rods 8 are connected to the belt 11 by the transmission wheel 9 to achieve synchronous rotation, which makes the staggered conveyor wheels 10 rotate. At the same time, the push roller 13 on the surface of the conveyor wheel 10 rotates obliquely after contacting the sweet potato and pushes the sweet potato to flip, thus realizing the flipping and conveying of the sweet potato.
[0026] When the melon passes through the cleaning box 4, it comes into contact with the dense water jet sprayed from the cleaning box 4 to achieve cleaning. When the melon moves to one side of the discharge plate 3, it is pushed in sequence, tilted upwards and falls off the discharge plate 3 before being discharged.
