The drive wheel 9 drives the driven wheel 12 to rotate through the belt 13. The drive wheel 9 and the driven wheel 12 drive the cam 10 and the cam 21 to rotate respectively. The cam 10 and the cam 21 enable the washing tank 6 to move up and down. When the washing tank 6 moves upward, it can compress the spring 5 through the L-shaped plate 4. The cam 10 and the cam 21 cooperate with the spring 5 to make the washing tank 6 vibrate back and forth in the water tank 1, so as to clean the dust on the surface of the rice husks.

[0041] Motor 217 drives blade 15 to rotate, which can transfer rice husks to the other end of washing tank 6. Then, cylinder 121 retracts, which drives rectangular frame 20 to rotate by gantry frame 19. At the same time, grab bucket 27 can drive sliding rod 22 to one end of rectangular frame 20 by its own weight. Cylinder 24 on fixed block 23 is activated, which pushes long rod 25. Long rod 25 can control grab bucket 27 to open and close through adjusting rod 26. Grab bucket 27 can grab rice. Cylinder 21 is activated to drive rectangular frame 20 to rotate. Due to gravity, sliding rod 22 can slide to the other end of rectangular frame 20, realizing automatic removal of washed rice husks.
