[0033] Working principle: when the multi-blade propeller 3 is rotating in water, the rotating shaft 4 makes the fixed plate 51 and the plurality of L-shaped hook plates 52 circumferentially revolve through the square inserting rod 61, because the multi-blade propeller 3 sucks water, weeds and other sundries in the water in the process of rotating, the weeds and other sundries in the water are wound on the fixed plate 51 and the plurality of L-shaped hook plates 52 in the process of circumferentially revolving, so that the weeds or other sundries in the water are prevented from entering the propeller protection cover 2 and being wound on the multi-blade propeller 3, thereby avoiding the vibration of the multi-blade propeller 3 caused by being wound by sundries in the process of working, and improving the working efficiency and service life of the multi-blade propeller 3;

[0034] When it is needed to clean the weeds and sundries that are wound, an operator first clamps the hexagonal seat 65 through a wrench, then rotates the limiting screw rod 63 through the wrench and the hexagonal seat 65 to make the limiting screw rod 63 separate from the threaded hole 64, then pulls the wrench upward, the wrench makes the square inserting rod 61 separate from the square inserting groove 62 through the hexagonal seat 65 and the limiting screw rod 63, the fixed plate 51 and the plurality of L-shaped hook plates 52 can be taken out through the slot 66, then the operator holds the U-shaped pull plate 57 and pulls the U-shaped pull plate 57 upward, the U-shaped pull plate 57 makes the two blades 54 move upward along the corresponding movable slots 53 through the two fixed seats 55, the two blades 54 cut the weeds and sundries that are wound on the fixed plate 51 in the process of moving upward.
