A strip groove 10 is opened through the middle of the top of the semi-circular barrel cover 2. Several nozzles 11 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the sprayer 6 and inside the strip groove 10. Positioning grooves 12 are opened at the bottom of both sides of the semi-circular barrel cover 2. Positioning bosses 13 that match the positioning grooves 12 are fixedly connected to the top of both sides of the semi-circular barrel body 3. The semi-circular barrel body 3 is rotatably mounted between the bottom ends of the two frames 25 by a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism includes an arc-shaped rack 14 fixedly connected to the outer periphery of one end of the semi-circular barrel body 3, and a fixed connecting... A motor 15 is connected to the outside of the right frame 25. The output shaft of the motor 15 passes through the right frame 25 and is fixedly connected to a spur gear 16 that meshes with an arc-shaped rack 14. Rotary sleeves 17 are fixedly connected to the middle of the positioning bosses 13 on both sides. The outer periphery of the rotating sleeves 17 is rotatably connected to the two frames 25 via bearings. A material-turning mechanism is located between the two frames 25 and the semi-circular barrel 3. The material-turning mechanism includes a rotating shaft 18 rotatably connected between the two rotating sleeves 17 via bearings, and a transmission box 19 fixedly connected to the outside of the right frame 25. The two ends of the transmission box 19 are rotatably connected to meshing components via bearings. The drive gear 20 and driven gear 21 are fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission box 19. The output shaft of the motor 22 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 20. The driven gear 21 is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating shaft 18. Both ends of the rotating shaft 18 are fixedly connected to the connecting arms 23. The ends of the two connecting arms 23 away from the rotating shaft 18 are fixedly connected to the material turning plate 24. The end face of the material turning plate 24 away from the connecting arm 23 slides in contact with the inner wall of the semi-circular barrel 3 and the semi-circular barrel cover 2. The bottom middle of the semi-circular barrel 3 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped hole plate 26, and the bottom middle of the semi-circular barrel 3 is fixedly connected to the sewage discharge pipe. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism, in conjunction with the semi-circular barrel cover 2, enables the rapid opening and closing of the cleaning chamber, providing a spacious and convenient entrance for material feeding and solving the problems of cramped loading ports and inconvenient material feeding on existing equipment.

[0013] Furthermore, by using motor 15, spur gear 16 and arc rack 14 together, the semi-circular barrel 3 is driven to tilt and rotate, so that the material is concentrated and slides out under the action of gravity, which solves the problems of inconvenient unloading of existing equipment, the need for manual scooping or reliance on additional conveying devices.

[0014] Working principle: During operation, the sweet potatoes to be cleaned are first placed into the semi-circular barrel 3. Then, the electric push rod 5 is activated to push the water sprayer 6 and the semi-circular barrel cover 2 downward as a whole. Guided by the slider 8 and the slide groove 7, the positioning groove 12 of the semi-circular barrel cover 2 and the positioning boss 13 of the semi-circular barrel 3 are accurately fitted to form a sealed cavity. Cleaning water is injected into the water sprayer 6 through the pipe connector 9 (the pipe connector 9 can be connected to the external water inlet pipe through the corrugated pipe). The water flows through the nozzle 11 and is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the sweet potatoes through the strip groove 10. At the same time, the motor 22 is activated to drive the drive gear 20 and the driven gear 21 to mesh and drive the rotating shaft 18 and its connecting arms 23 at both ends and the tipping plate 24 to rotate continuously. During the rotation, the working surface of the tipping plate 24 remains constantly rotated. Maintaining sliding contact with the inner wall of the semi-circular barrel 3, the sweet potatoes inside the cavity are circulated, agitated, and lifted, allowing the sweet potatoes to complete surface cleaning under the impact of water flow and mutual friction. The wastewater generated during the cleaning process is filtered through the arc-shaped perforated plate 26 at the bottom of the semi-circular barrel 3 and then discharged through the wastewater discharge pipe (the wastewater discharge pipe can be connected to the external drainage pipe through a corrugated pipe). After cleaning, water injection is stopped and motor 22 is stopped. Then, motor 15 is started to drive the spur gear 16 to mesh with the arc-shaped rack 14, causing the semi-circular barrel 3 to tilt upwards around the rotating sleeve 17 as the fulcrum, so that the washed sweet potatoes slide out of the cavity under the action of gravity to complete the unloading (a collection box can be placed on the top of the base 1 before tilting).
