A top plate is then installed above the separation tank, and a drying mechanism is installed on the top plate. Air is pumped into the air pipe by an air pump and then sprayed out through a nozzle. This further removes water stains from the debris after solid-liquid separation. At the same time, a threaded shaft is driven by an electric motor, and a moving block moves axially through the threaded movement with the threaded shaft, thereby moving the air pipe, expanding the drying range, and improving efficiency.
[0015] 2. This utility model sets a slide on the air pipe and a protrusion on the sieve plate.

This can not only accelerate the solid-liquid separation of the debris, but also prevent its own blockage.
