A reel 4 is movably connected between the front and rear of the inside of the frame 5, and a lifting rope 7 is wound around the outside of the shaft of the reel 4. A lifting ring 19 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting rope 7, and a hanger 15 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting ring 19. A cover plate 24 is fixed between the four corners of the bottom of the hanger 15, and a filter box 16 is fixed below the cover plate 24. Limiting blocks 17 are fixed to the lower sides of the inside of the tank 1. A motor 20 is fixed to the center of the top of the cover plate 24, and a stirring rod 21 is movably connected to the center of the bottom of the cover plate 24.

[0025] An inlet valve 2 is fixed at the upper left corner of tank 1, and an outlet valve 18 is fixed at the lower right corner of tank 1. The output end of motor 6 is fixedly connected to reel 4, and the lifting rope 7 passes through the through groove 8.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the starting motor 6 uses a rotating reel 4 to pass through the through groove 8 to lift the hanging rope 7 and the hanging ring 19 fixed to the hanger 15. The filter box 16 is raised and lowered along the limiting block 17 inside the tank body 1. This helps to clean the alfalfa material. When the filter box 16 is raised to half-empty, the motor 20 rotates the stirring rod 21 to evenly mix the thick alfalfa. Clean water is introduced from the inlet valve 2, and wastewater is discharged from the outlet valve 18.

[0027] A frame 13 is fixed to the upper right corner of the tank body 1. A screw 22 is movably connected between the left and right sides inside the frame 13. A threaded plate 14 is movably sleeved on the outside of the screw 22. A rotating shaft 26 is movably connected to the left side of the top of the threaded plate 14. A worm gear 25 is fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft 26. A mounting bracket 29 is fixed to the right side of the top of the threaded plate 14. A worm gear 28 is movably connected between the front and back inside the mounting bracket 29. A motor 4 27 is fixed to the rear of the mounting bracket 29. A motor 22 is fixed to the right side of the outside of the frame 13. A rotating table 10 is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 26. Storage boxes 9 are fixed to the front, back, left, and right sides of the edge of the rotating table 10. Valves 11 are fixed to the front, back, left, and right sides of the bottom of the rotating table 10. A slot 23 is provided on the right side inside the cover plate 24.

[0028] The output end of motor 4 27 is fixedly connected to worm 28 at the front. Worm 28 is meshed with the right side of worm wheel 25. The output end of motor 2 12 is fixedly connected to lead screw 22 at the left side. Lead screw 22 guides threaded plate 14 to slide left and right along the inner wall of frame 13.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the second motor 12 is started to push the threaded plate 14 and other objects with the lead screw 22, so that the left side of the rotary table 10 is close to the upper right of the tank 1. Then, the fourth motor 27 is started simultaneously and the worm gear 28 is rotated to push the worm wheel 25 and the shaft 26. The position of the four sets of storage boxes 9 on the top of the rotary table 10 is adjusted so that the bottom of the corresponding valve 11 is aligned with the slot 23 of the cover plate 24 for feeding.

[0030] A retaining plate 31 is movably installed on both sides of the cover plate 24, and a coil spring shaft 32 is installed between the retaining plate 31 and the cover plate 24. A slot 30 is provided on the upper part of both sides of the filter box 16. The side of the retaining plate 31 is embedded in the slot 30. The retaining plate 31 is flipped up and down by the influence of the coil spring shaft 32.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a mesh screen is installed at the bottom of the filter box 16 to drain water. It can also be used to clean or soak the alfalfa in the filter box 16 after the filter box 16 is submerged below the water surface of the tank 1. The cover plate 24 is fixed on the filter box 16 by the clamping plate 31 installed on the two side spring shafts 32, which facilitates the lifting and lowering of the filter box 16 and allows for quick loading and unloading of materials.

[0032] Working principle: When using this utility model, firstly, the motor 6 is started, and the rotating reel 4 passes through the through groove 8 to suspend the hanging rope 7 and the hanging ring 19 fixed to the frame 15. The filter box 16 is raised and lowered along the limiting block 17 inside the tank 1. This helps to clean the alfalfa material. When the filter box 16 is raised to half-empty, the motor 20 rotates the stirring rod 21 to evenly mix the thick alfalfa. The bottom of the filter box 16 is equipped with a mesh screen for water to drain out. After the filter box 16 is submerged below the water surface in the tank 1, the alfalfa in the filter box 16 can be cleaned or soaked. The clamping plates installed on the two side spring shafts 32 are used to clean the filter box. 31. Fix the cover plate 24 on the filter box 16. This facilitates the lifting and lowering of the filter box 16 and allows for quick loading and unloading. Clean water is introduced through the inlet valve 2, while wastewater is discharged through the outlet valve 18. During this process, start the motor 2 12 to push the threaded plate 14 and other objects with the lead screw 22, so that the left side of the rotary table 10 is close to the upper right of the tank 1. Then, start the motor 4 27 and rotate the worm gear 28 to push the worm wheel 25 and the shaft 26. Adjust the position of the four sets of storage boxes 9 on the top of the rotary table 10 so that the bottom of the corresponding valve 11 is aligned with the slot 23 of the cover plate 24. Add seasonings or additives to the tank 1 or filter box 16.
