A first rubber ring 7 is fixedly fitted on the outer peripheral wall of each of the two sealing plates 8.
[0030] The connecting pipe 2 and the filter chamber 1 are fixedly connected. The filter chamber 1 is a hollow cuboid. The first rubber ring 7 is a rectangular ring. The first rubber ring 7 is attached to the discharge trough 22. The scraper 18 is inclined. The drain pipe 17 is located at the bottom of the filter plate 23.

Through the threaded connection between the screw 12 and the connecting plate 6, and the sliding connection between the sliding block 26 and the sliding groove 15, the screw 12 drives the baffle 5 to move through the connecting plate 6. The baffle 5 pushes the scraper 18 to move. Through the action of the second rubber ring 25, the connection between the support groove 24 and the baffle 5 is sealed.
[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 5In this embodiment, the connecting pipe 2 is provided with a fixing component for fixing the cleaning fluid outlet pipe 3.

[0037] Specifically, by rotating the filter chamber 1, the connecting pipe 2 and the cleaning fluid outlet pipe 3 are connected through the threaded connection between the first threaded groove 9 and the second threaded groove 10. The connecting pipe 2 is conveniently restricted by the positioning ring 4, and the connection between the connecting pipe 2 and the cleaning fluid outlet pipe 3 is sealed by the rubber ring 11.
[0038] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0039] Rotating the filter chamber 1 connects the connecting pipe 2 and the cleaning liquid outlet pipe 3 via the threaded connection between the first threaded groove 9 and the second threaded groove 10. The positioning ring 4 conveniently restricts the connecting pipe 2, and the rubber ring 11 seals the connection between the connecting pipe 2 and the cleaning liquid outlet pipe 3. The sealing plate 8 and the first rubber ring 7 conveniently seal the discharge trough 22. Liquid enters the filter chamber 1 through the cleaning liquid outlet pipe 3 and the connecting pipe 2, where it is conveniently filtered by the first filter screen 20 and the second filter screen 21. Impurities are collected by the first filter screen 20 and the second filter screen 21. Then, the solenoid valve 16 is activated, and the liquid is discharged through the drain pipe 17. When cleaning the first filter screen 20 and the second filter screen 21 after draining the filter chamber 1, the drive motor 14 is started. The output shaft of the drive motor 14 drives the screw 12 to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the screw 12 and the connecting plate 6, and the sliding connection between the sliding block 26 and the sliding groove 15, the screw 12 drives the baffle 5 to move through the connecting plate 6. The baffle 5 pushes the scraper 18 to move. The scraper 18 cleans the impurities on the top surface of the first filter screen 20 and the second filter screen 21. The scraper 18 drives the sealing plate 8 to move through the linkage rod 19, so that the sealing plate 8 is disengaged from the discharge trough 22. The impurities pass through the discharge trough 22 and are discharged from the filter chamber 1. The connection between the support groove 24 and the baffle 5 is sealed by the action of the second rubber ring 25.
