A mud trough 4 is provided inside the base 1 near the inlet of the conveyor 2. Stainless steel filter plates 5 are symmetrically provided on the top of the base 1 on one side of the mud trough 4. Both stainless steel filter plates 5 are inclined, and a water storage tank is formed inside the base 1 below the two stainless steel filter plates 5. A through groove 6 is provided on one side wall of the base 1, and a mud scraping mechanism is provided in the through groove 6. The mud flushing mechanism includes a pump assembly 7, an upper mud flushing assembly 8, and a lower mud flushing assembly 9. The pump assembly 7 is provided on one side wall of the base 1, the upper mud flushing assembly 8 is provided above the inside of the flushing hood 3, and the lower mud flushing assembly 9 is provided inside the frame of the conveyor 2. The upper mud flushing assembly 8 and the lower mud flushing assembly 9 are both connected to the pump assembly 7, and the pump assembly 7 is connected to the water storage tank.

[0025] In this invention, the lotus root is washed by a conveyor 2. Once inside the rinsing hood 3, it is rinsed by a mud-washing mechanism. A pump assembly 7 pumps water from the storage tank into the upper mud-washing assembly 8 and the lower mud-washing assembly 9, respectively, thus washing both sides of the lotus root. The mud that falls off during washing lands on the stainless steel filter plate 5. By activating the mud-scraping mechanism, the mud can be scraped from the stainless steel filter plate 5 into the mud tank 4 for storage.

[0026] The upper flushing assembly 8 and the lower flushing assembly 9 have the same structure, both including a flushing pipe 10 and a nozzle 11. The bottom of the flushing pipe 10 of the upper flushing assembly 8 and the top of the lower flushing assembly 9 are each equipped with a nozzle 11, and multiple nozzles 11 are provided. The pump assembly 7 includes a water pump 701, a water supply pipe 702, a first branch pipe 703, and a second branch pipe 704. The inlet end of the water pump 701 is connected to the lower part of the water storage tank, and the outlet end of the water pump 701 is equipped with the water supply pipe 702. The water supply pipe 702 is equipped with a first branch pipe 703 and a second branch pipe 704. One end of the second branch pipe 704 is connected to the flushing pipe 10 of the upper flushing assembly 8, and one end of the first branch pipe 703 is connected to the flushing pipe 10 of the lower flushing assembly 9. Water pump 701 pumps water from the water storage tank into the water supply pipe 702, and then through the first branch pipe 703 and the second branch pipe 704 into the upper mud flushing assembly 8 and the lower mud flushing assembly 9 respectively, and then water is sprayed out from the nozzle 11 to rinse the lotus root.

[0027] A pull-out opening is provided on the side wall of the base 1 at the location of the mud trough 4. A mud storage box 12 is movably installed inside the mud trough 4, and one end of the mud storage box 12 extends out of the pull-out opening. This utility model, by providing a mud storage box 12, makes it easy to pull out the mud storage box 12 from the pull-out opening for cleaning.

[0028] The sludge scraping mechanism includes a linear lead screw 13, a movable seat 14, and a scraper strip 15. The linear lead screw 13 is rotatably mounted within the through groove 6 and is driven by a motor.

Sludge scraper strips 15 are mounted on the tops of the two stainless steel filter plates 5, with one end of each strip connected to the movable seat 14. The bottom of the scraper strip 15 is shaped to fit the tops of the two stainless steel filter plates 5, and the bottom of the scraper strip 15 contacts the tops of the two stainless steel filter plates 5. This invention uses a motor to rotate the linear lead screw 13, and then the movable seat 14 moves synchronously on the through groove 6 and the linear lead screw 13, thereby driving the scraper strip 15 to scrape away the sludge from the tops of the stainless steel filter plates 5.

[0029] The conveyor 2 has a guide plate 16 at one end of its discharge port, and a baffle 17 is provided on the top of the base 1 near the discharge port of the conveyor 2. The guide plate 16 facilitates the quick discharge of the washed lotus roots, and the baffle 17 can block one end of the stainless steel filter plate 5 to prevent soil from falling.

[0030] This utility model sets the mud flushing mechanism as a pump assembly 7, an upper mud flushing assembly 8 and a lower mud flushing assembly 9. The upper mud flushing assembly 8 and the lower mud flushing assembly 9 can simultaneously flush the lotus root conveyed by the conveyor 2 from both sides, thereby ensuring the flushing quality.

[0031] This invention features symmetrical stainless steel filter plates 5 on the top of the base 1, a mud scraping mechanism in a groove 6 on one side wall of the base 1, and a mud trough 4 inside the base 1 near the feed inlet of the conveyor 2. The mud scraping strips 15 of the mud scraping mechanism can scrape the mud on the top of the stainless steel filter plates 5 into the mud trough 4 for collection, thus preventing the mud from clogging the stainless steel filter plates 5 and affecting cement separation. This avoids the problem of frequent water shortage in the water storage tank, and the washing machine can stably carry out lotus root washing operations.
