[0028] When the power motor 10 is working, its output shaft begins to rotate, driving the drive gear 11 fixed on it to rotate. The drive gear 11 meshes with the driven gear 9, causing the driven gear 9 to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 9 is further transmitted to the cleaning basket 4 through the rotating shaft 7, causing it to rotate at a predetermined speed and direction, thus realizing the cleaning action of the tobacco leaves. The gear transmission system ensures the stable rotation of the cleaning basket 4, improving cleaning efficiency and effect. All key components are enclosed in a protective cover 8, facilitating daily inspection and maintenance. The presence of the protective cover 8 increases operational safety and avoids potential risks.

[0029] A second handle 20 and a controller 21 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sealed door 19, and the power motor 10 is electrically connected to the controller 21.

[0030] In this embodiment, the left side of the sealing door 19 is hinged to the cleaning tub 1, and a locking component is provided on the right side of the sealing door 19. The locking component is not shown in the figure. The locking component can be a conventional structure and is used to lock and unlock the sealing door 19.

[0031] The sealed door 19 is airtight when closed, preventing leakage of water or other cleaning media and also preventing external contaminants from entering the cleaning tank 1. The sealed door 19 can be easily opened and closed via the second handle 20, facilitating loading and unloading of tobacco leaves. The controller 21 is fixed to the left end of the front surface of the sealed door 19, located in an easily accessible position for the operator, making operation more intuitive and convenient. The second handle 20 is located on the right side of the sealed door 19, maintaining an appropriate distance from the controller 21 to avoid accidental operation. The second handle 20 provides additional support points when opening or closing the sealed door 19, making operation less strenuous.

[0032] The water spray components on the left and right sides of the cleaning tank 1 have the same structure and are arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis of the cleaning tank 1. The water spray components include a vertical pipe 12 and spray pipes 13. Multiple spray pipes 13 are fixedly connected from top to bottom on the side of the vertical pipe 12 that is close to the cleaning tank 1. The end of each spray pipe 13 that is away from the vertical pipe 12 extends into the interior of the cleaning tank 1 and is fixedly connected thereto.

[0033] Two vertical pipes 12 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outside of the cleaning tank 1, and multiple spray pipes 13 are equidistantly arranged from top to bottom. These spray pipes 13 extend into the inside of the cleaning tank 1 and are fixedly connected, ensuring that the cleaning medium (such as water or cleaning liquid) can evenly cover the entire cleaning area. Through the vertically arranged spray pipes 13, multi-layer spraying can be formed at different heights, which enhances the cleaning effect on the surface of tobacco leaves at various angles.

[0034] Furthermore, a horizontal pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the cleaning tub 1, and a water pump 15 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the rear surface of the cleaning tub 1. A water pump pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the water pump 15's water pump end. The end of the water pump pipe 16 away from the water pump 15 is connected to an external water source. The water pump 15 is electrically connected to the controller 21.

[0035] The horizontal pipe 14 is fixed to the top rear side of the cleaning tank 1 and serves as the main horizontal water supply pipe. It is connected to the water supply pipe 17 and receives high-pressure water flow from the water pump 15. The horizontal pipe 14 guides the water flow into the vertical pipe 12 through the connecting pipes 18 on the left and right sides, ensuring that the water flow can be evenly distributed to all the spray pipes 13.

[0036] A water supply pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the outlet end of the water pump 15. The end of the water supply pipe 17 away from the water pump 15 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the horizontal pipe 14. Both ends of the horizontal pipe 14 are fixedly connected to connecting pipes 18, and the two connecting pipes 18 are respectively connected to the vertical pipes 12 on the two water spraying components.

[0037] The water pump 15 is installed at the lower rear side of the cleaning tank 1. Its pumping end is connected to an external water source through the pumping pipe 16, ensuring a stable water flow supply. The water outlet of the water pump 15 is connected to the horizontal pipe 14 through the water supply pipe 17, providing the necessary pressure for the entire water circulation system so that the water can smoothly reach each nozzle 13. The connecting pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal pipe 14 and the vertical pipe 12, forming a closed water circulation loop, ensuring that the water can be smoothly transmitted from the horizontal pipe 14 to the vertical pipe 12 and finally sprayed out through the nozzle 13.

[0038] The operator starts the water pump 15 via the controller 21. The water pump 15 draws cleaning water or other cleaning media from an external water source through the water suction pipe 16. After pressurizing the water, the water pump 15 delivers it to the horizontal pipe 14 located at the top rear of the cleaning tank 1 through the water delivery pipe 17. The high-pressure water in the horizontal pipe 14 enters the vertical pipe 12 through the connecting pipes 18 on the left and right sides, and flows downward along the vertical pipe 12. Multiple spray pipes 13 on the vertical pipe 12 spray the water evenly to different heights inside the cleaning tank 1, forming a multi-layer spray to ensure that the cleaning media can fully contact the surface of the tobacco leaves.

[0039] During the rotation of the cleaning basket 4, the tobacco leaves are subjected to centrifugal force, which enables the cleaning medium to more effectively remove impurities from the surface of the tobacco leaves. The multi-layer spray design ensures that the cleaning medium can cover the tobacco leaves from different angles, thus improving the cleaning effect.

[0040] Preferably, the vertical pipe 12, horizontal pipe 14, and connecting pipe 18 are all made of transparent material. Transparent pipes allow operators to directly observe the water flow and spraying effect during the cleaning process, ensuring unobstructed water flow. If blockages or other abnormalities occur, operators can quickly detect them and take appropriate measures to reduce downtime.

[0041] The above description, based on the embodiments shown in the drawings, details the structure, features, and effects of this utility model. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the scope of implementation of this utility model is not limited to what is shown in the drawings. Any changes made in accordance with the concept of this utility model, or modifications to equivalent embodiments, that do not exceed the spirit covered by the specification and drawings, shall be within the protection scope of this utility model.
