[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This application provides a cleaning device for the stems and leaves of *Sedum morganianum*, including a cleaning tank 100, a driving component 200, and an air supply component 300. The cleaning tank 100 contains clean water. The driving component 200 includes a rotating part 210 and a storage part 220. The two ends of the rotating part 210 are disposed on opposite sides of the cleaning tank 100. The storage part 220 is connected to the rotating part 210 and reciprocates along a preset trajectory under the drive of the rotating part 210. The storage part 220 is used to store the stems and leaves of *Sedum morganianum*. The air supply component 300 includes a draining part 320 and a rinsing part 310. The rinsing part 310 is disposed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 100 and is used to spray inert gas into the storage part 220. The draining part 320 is disposed above the cleaning tank 100 and is used to blow gas downwards.

[0034] Specifically, the cleaning tank 100 is made of, but is not limited to, stainless steel or cement, and its structure is preferably cuboid. The drive assembly 200 is made of, but is not limited to, a motor or a rotating shaft 211. The drive assembly 200 is connected to the cleaning tank 100 using a sealed bearing. The rotating component 210 passes through the opposite ends of the cleaning tank 100 and can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The storage component 220 is made of a filter bag or a box made of a filter. One end of the storage component 220 is connected to the rotating component 210. The rotation of the rotating component 210 drives the storage component 220 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise within the cleaning tank 100. The draining component 320 is made of, but is not limited to, jet-type or gravity-type draining. The jet-type is located above the cleaning tank 100 and blows the water in the storage component 220 back into the cleaning tank 100 by blowing air downwards. The rinsing component 310 rinses the grass, stone, and silkworm stems and leaves in the storage component 220 by spraying.

[0035] Further, at least half of the water is filled in the cleaning tank 100. The stems and leaves of the *Symplocos edulis* are placed in the storage container 220. The rotating component 210 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by a motor or manually, while the rinsing component 310 is turned on. When the storage container 220 rotates clockwise to the bottom of the cleaning tank 100, the rotating component 210 rotates counterclockwise. When it rotates to the bottom of the cleaning tank 100 in the opposite direction, the rotating component 210 is rotated clockwise again. The above steps are repeated. When the *Symplocos edulis* stems and leaves are cleaned by manual inspection, the storage container 220 is rotated to the top of the rotating component 210 and fixed. The rinsing component 310 is turned off, and the draining component 320 is turned on. Air is blown from top to bottom to blow the water out of the storage container 220. At the same time, the water on the *Symplocos edulis* stems and leaves leaves leaves downwards due to their own weight and the load of the air. After the leaves are drained manually, the storage container 220 is opened to remove the *Symplocos edulis* stems and leaves.

[0036] The technical solution of the grass-plant stem and leaf cleaning device adopted in this application can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0037] 1. By switching the rotation of the rotating component 210 clockwise and counterclockwise, the stems and leaves of the *Symplocos edulis* are moved within the cleaning tank 100 under the drive of the storage component 220. When rotating clockwise, one side of the *Symplocos edulis* stems and leaves is washed away by the reaction force of the water, removing surface corrosion and debris. When rotating counterclockwise, the other side of the *Symplocos edulis* stems and leaves is also washed. Repeated washing results in a cleaner product, thus solving the problem that spraying and rinsing with clean water can easily leave residue on both sides of the *Symplocos edulis* stems and leaves, resulting in insufficient cleaning and requiring secondary cleaning of the stems and leaves.

[0038] 2. By setting a rinsing component 310 above the cleaning tank 100, the rinsing component 310 works in conjunction with the cleaning tank 100 to achieve double-layer cleaning, which is simple and convenient to operate and cleans more thoroughly.

[0039] 3. After cleaning, use the draining device 320 to drain the water, reducing the draining time and improving the draining efficiency.

[0040] In the above scheme, the rotating component 210 includes a rotating shaft 211, a transmission wheel set 212, a gear set 213, and a connecting rod 214. The rotating shaft 211 is rotatably connected to two opposite ends of the cleaning tank 100. The gear set 213 is coaxially mounted on the rotating shaft 211. The transmission wheel set 212 is rotatably mounted on one side of the gear set 213 and is drive-connected to the gear set 213. One end of the connecting rod 214 is connected to the rotating shaft 211, and the other end is connected to the storage component 220. The transmission wheel set 212 includes a drive shaft 2121 and a rotating gear 2122. The drive shaft 2121 is mounted on two opposite sides of the cleaning tank 100 and is perpendicular to the rotating shaft 211. The rotating gear 2122 is mounted on the drive shaft 2121 and is drive-connected to the gear set 213.

[0041] Specifically, the rotating shaft 211 is arranged along the length of the cleaning tank 100 and is located in the middle of the cleaning tank 100 (on the central axis), at one-quarter of the height of the cleaning tank 100 from the bottom to the top; the gear set 213 is arranged on the rotating shaft 211, and the transmission wheel set 212 is arranged on one side of the gear set 213 through an auxiliary rod. By rotating the transmission wheel set 212, the gear set 213 is driven to rotate, and at the same time, the gear set 213 drives the rotating shaft 211 to rotate. The connecting rod 214 rotates under the drive of the rotating shaft 211, thereby causing the storage device 220 connected to it to rotate.

[0042] Furthermore, the drive shaft 2121 is vertically disposed below the rotating shaft 211, and the rotating gear 2122 is disposed on the drive shaft 2121 and located on one side of the gear set 213. The gear set 213 meshes with the rotating gear 2122. The rotation of the drive shaft 2121 drives the transmission gear to rotate, and the gear set 213 meshing with it rotates, thereby driving the rotating shaft 211 and the connecting rod 214 on the rotating shaft 211 to rotate.

[0043] In the above scheme, the gear set 213 includes a driving gear 2131 and a driven gear 2132, which are arranged opposite to each other, and the rotating gear 2122 meshes with both the driving gear 2131 and the driven gear 2132. The rotating gear 2122 is a conical missing gear.

[0044] The driving gear 2131 and driven gear 2132 are respectively located on both sides of the rotating gear 2122 and mesh with it; at the same time, both the driving gear 2131 and driven gear 2132 are bevel gears, and the rotating gear 2122 is a missing gear, which is selected according to the rotation angle; a transmission wheel is set at one end of the drive shaft 2121, and the transmission wheels are connected by belt (or chain and sprocket) to ensure that the rotation direction of multiple drive shafts 2121 is the same, and a motor is set on one of the transmission wheels to drive the multiple drive shafts 2121 to rotate.

[0045] Furthermore, by turning on the motor, the motor drives the transmission wheel and multiple transmission wheels connected to the belt to rotate, which in turn drives the drive shaft 2121 to rotate. The rotating gear 2122 located on the drive shaft 2121 rotates, driving the driving gear 2131 and the driven gear 2132 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting rod 214 to rotate. By setting the rotating gear 2122 with a missing gear and the driving gear 2131 and driven gear 2132 of the bevel gear, the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the rotating shaft 211 can be switched. The operation is simple and convenient, reducing manual labor and improving work efficiency.

[0046] In another embodiment of this application, the storage component 220 includes a filter base 221 and a filter top plate 222. The filter base 221 is hinged to the filter top plate 222, and the hinge point is connected to a plurality of connecting rods 214 and is parallel to the drive assembly 200. Both the filter base 221 and the filter top plate have an arc-shaped structure, and the filter base 221 and the filter top plate form a cylindrical shape when closed. The filter base 221 and the filter top plate are hinged by a pin sleeve; the sleeve is connected to the connecting rods 214, and a buckle is provided at the end of the filter base 221 and the filter top plate away from the hinge, allowing for detachable connection. This makes operation simpler and more convenient, solving the problem of the stems and leaves of the *Gnaphalium affine* detaching from the storage component 220 during rotation.

[0047] In another embodiment of this application, the rinsing component 310 includes a frame 311 and a rinsing pipe 312. The frame 311 is fixedly connected above the cleaning tank 100, and the rinsing pipe 312 is detachably connected to the frame 311. The rinsing pipe 312 is parallel to the driving assembly 200 and has several spray nozzles for spraying clean water onto the storage component 220. The rinsing component 310 also includes a spray pipe 313, which is disposed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 100 and has several water-permeable holes for spraying clean water onto the storage component 220. Both the spray pipe 313 and the rinsing pipe 312 are connected to the outlet of a water pump, which is detachably connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 100.

[0048] Specifically, the frame 311 includes vertical rods and horizontal rods. The vertical rods are connected to the cleaning tank 100 and their height is not less than the length of the connecting rod 214. The horizontal rods are connected to the other end of the vertical rods, and several horizontal rods are provided. Several rinsing pipes 312 are installed on the horizontal rods. The rinsing pipes 312 are connected to the water pump at the bottom of the cleaning tank 100 through a water distributor. At the same time, several spray pipes 313 are installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 100. The water permeable holes on the spray pipes 313 are inclined to spray water jets towards both sides of the rotating shaft 211. The water jet washes one side of the stems and leaves of the *Sedum morganianum*. When the storage unit 220 rotates out of the water, the water jet sprayed downwards from the rinsing pipe 312 rinses the other side of the stems and leaves of the *Sedum morganianum*, making the cleaning more thorough. The water in the cleaning tank 100 is circulated to the spray pipe 313 and the rinsing pipe 312 by the water pump, and then flows back to the cleaning tank 100 through the spray pipe 313 and the rinsing pipe 312 to form a cycle, reducing water waste. Furthermore, in order to prevent the water pump from clogging, a filter device is installed at the inlet of the water pump.

[0049] In another embodiment of this application, the draining component 320 includes a blowing pipe 321, which is arranged parallel to the rinsing pipe 312. One end of the blowing pipe 321 is connected to a blower, and the blowing pipe 321 is provided with several air outlets for blowing air onto the storage component 220. The blower is located on one side of the washing tank 100, and the blowing pipe 321 blows air vertically downwards. When the storage component 220 rotates above the rotating shaft 211, the operator turns off the water pump and turns on the blower. The air is sprayed along the blowing pipe 321 from the air outlets onto the stems and leaves of the *Sedum aizoon*, causing the water on top to fall off, reducing the draining time and improving the draining efficiency.

[0050] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
