[0020] First, the material, namely quartz sand, is put into the cleaning tank. The control program is started, the solenoid valve is opened to introduce the cleaning fluid. The cleaning fluid enters the cleaning gun through the water inlet pipe and the water delivery channel inside the robotic arm. The cleaning gun then sprays out the cleaning fluid.
[0021] A robotic arm controls the movement of a cleaning gun, mimicking manual cleaning of materials.
[0022] When the liquid level in the cleaning zone reaches the overflow channel, dirt on the liquid surface can flow into the overflow zone through the overflow channel and be discharged from the drain outlet. After cleaning is completed, the solenoid valve is closed, and the drain cylinder removes the drain plug from the drain outlet to drain the water.
[0023] After drainage is complete, the discharge cylinder moves the discharge plug 6 out of the discharge port. The solenoid valve is then opened, and the robotic arm controls the movement of the cleaning gun, mimicking a manual cleaning action to discharge the material in the cleaning zone from the discharge port.
[0024] After all the material in the cleaning area is discharged, the solenoid valve is closed, and the robotic arm returns to its original position, completing the entire cleaning process.

[0033] In this application, the material is quartz sand. The partition 3 can be a baffle plate.
[0034] Specifically, see Figure 1 The water supply pipeline includes an inlet pipe 13 and a water delivery channel formed inside the robotic arm 11. One end of the inlet pipe 13 is connected to the water supply device, and the other end is connected to the water delivery channel.
[0035] Specifically, see Figure 1 The water supply pipeline is also equipped with a solenoid valve 12.

The drain plug 5 is connected to the working end of the drain cylinder 8. The drain cylinder 8 can drive the drain plug 5 in and out of the drain outlet 4.
[0041] Specifically, see Figure 2 The top of the partition 3 is lower than the highest water level of the cleaning tank 1, so that the top space of the partition 3 forms an overflow channel 310.
[0042] Further, see Figure 1 The bottom surface of the cleaning zone 110 has a slope, and the side of the bottom surface of the cleaning zone 110 near the partition 3 is lower than the side of the bottom surface of the cleaning zone 110 away from the partition 3.
