Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of leaf processing equipment, and in particular to a cleaning device for Sapindus mukorossi leaves. Background Technology

[0002] The leaves of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium*, a plant in the Sapindaceae family, have extremely high medicinal value. After harvesting, they are cleaned, washed, sun-dried, cut, blanched, and dried to produce traditional Chinese medicine slices. These slices have the effects of dispelling wind and dampness, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and can be used to treat symptoms such as rheumatic fever, joint pain, muscle and bone pain, and skin rheumatism. When flattened, the leaves of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* are lanceolate or nearly ovate, about 1.5–3.0 cm long and 0.2–0.8 cm wide, glabrous or with sparse hairs on the midrib.

[0003] In the existing technology, plant cleaning devices are usually rotary stirring type or rolling brush type. If the leaves of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* are poured into the cleaning tank and stirred by a stirring rod for cleaning, or if the leaves are placed on a conveyor belt and the leaf surface is cleaned by a rolling brush, the stirring rod or brush will repeatedly rub, squeeze or pull against the leaves, which will cause leaf damage and affect the yield of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaf slices. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the prior art where the stirring rod or brush of the cleaning device repeatedly rubs, squeezes or pulls against the leaves, causing leaf damage and affecting the yield of Sapindus mukorossi leaf slices.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaf cleaning device, including a soaking tank, a first frame, a spray assembly, a second frame, a storage box, a lifting drive assembly, a first horizontal drive assembly, and a second horizontal drive assembly. The soaking tank contains a soaking solution, and the first frame is mounted above the soaking tank. The spray assembly is located on one side of the first frame along the horizontal direction and has multiple downward-facing nozzles. The second frame is located on the side of the soaking tank along the horizontal direction near the spray assembly, with a first portion of the second frame located below the first frame and a second portion located below the spray assembly. The lifting drive assembly and the first horizontal drive assembly are mounted on the first frame, and the first horizontal drive assembly is driveably connected to the lifting drive assembly. The second horizontal drive assembly is located on one side of the second frame along its width direction. The storage box contains a soaking solution. The equipment is equipped with *Sapindus mukorossi* leaves, with at least the bottom having a mesh structure. A storage frame can be connected to either a lifting drive assembly or a second horizontal drive assembly. When the lifting drive assembly is connected to the storage frame, it can drive the storage frame to move vertically between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the storage frame is inside the soaking tank. In the second position, the bottom of the storage frame is spaced apart from the upper end of the soaking tank. When the first horizontal drive assembly is connected to the lifting drive assembly, it can drive the lifting drive assembly to move horizontally, causing the storage frame to move horizontally between a second position and a third position. In the third position, the storage frame is positioned on the first part of the second frame. When the second horizontal drive assembly is connected to the storage frame, it can drive the storage frame to move horizontally between a third position and a fourth position. In the fourth position, the storage frame is positioned on the second part of the second frame away from the soaking tank.

[0006] Using the above technical solution, when the storage frame and the *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves inside are soaked in the soaking tank, the leaves undergo a primary cleaning process through soaking. After the primary cleaning, the storage frame and leaves are transferred together to a second frame for a secondary cleaning via a spray system to remove any remaining impurities. Throughout the entire cleaning process and the transfer of the storage frame and leaves, the leaves remain within the storage frame and relatively stationary. This prevents repeated friction, compression, or pulling between the leaves and the storage frame, effectively reducing leaf breakage and increasing the yield of processed *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaf slices. This device uses a lifting drive assembly to lift the storage frame, along with the leaves of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium*, from a first position in the soaking tank to a second position. The mesh structure at the bottom of the storage frame can separate the leaves from the soaking liquid. A first horizontal drive assembly drives the lifting drive assembly and the storage frame together to move the storage frame and the leaves inside from above the soaking tank to a second frame for subsequent spray cleaning. A second horizontal drive assembly can transfer the storage frame and the leaves inside from a third position to a fourth position so that the leaves are sprayed and cleaned as they move with the storage frame.

[0007] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the *Sapindus mukorossi* leaf cleaning device disclosed in this embodiment includes a lifting drive assembly comprising a first motor and a first transmission component. The first transmission component includes a first rotating shaft and a hoisting rope. The first rotating shaft extends along the width direction of the first frame and is rotatably supported on the first frame. One end of the first rotating shaft is connected to the first motor, and one end of the hoisting rope is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft. When the lifting drive assembly is connected to the storage frame, the other end of the hoisting rope is connected to the storage frame. The first motor can drive the first rotating shaft to rotate, causing the hoisting rope to switch between a winding state and an unwinding state, thereby moving the storage frame between a first position and a second position.

[0008] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the *Sapindus mukorossi* leaf cleaning device disclosed in this embodiment includes a lifting drive assembly comprising a first hydraulic cylinder and a first telescopic rod. The first hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to a first frame in a vertical direction. One end of the first telescopic rod is movably disposed inside the first hydraulic cylinder, and the other end extends out of the first hydraulic cylinder. The first telescopic rod can move vertically relative to the first hydraulic cylinder. When the lifting drive assembly is connected to the storage frame, the other end of the first telescopic rod extending out of the first hydraulic cylinder is connected to the storage frame. The first hydraulic cylinder can drive the first telescopic rod to move vertically relative to the first hydraulic cylinder, thereby moving the storage frame between a first position and a second position.

[0009] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the *Vernicia fordii* leaf cleaning device disclosed in this embodiment includes a first horizontal drive assembly on each side of the lifting drive assembly along the horizontal direction. Each first horizontal drive assembly includes a second motor and a second transmission component. The second transmission component includes a second rotating shaft and a traction rope. The second rotating shaft extends parallel to the first rotating shaft and is rotatably supported on a first frame around its axial direction. One end of the second rotating shaft is connected to the second motor, and one end of the traction rope is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft, while the other end is fixedly connected to the first shaft. When the first horizontal drive assembly is connected to the lifting drive assembly, each second motor can drive the corresponding second rotating shaft to rotate, thereby moving the first rotating shaft along the horizontal direction via the traction rope, and causing the storage frame to move horizontally between a second position and a third position.

[0010] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the *Vernicia fordii* leaf cleaning device disclosed in this embodiment has a first horizontal drive assembly arranged horizontally on either side of the lifting drive assembly. The first horizontal drive assembly includes a second hydraulic cylinder and a second telescopic rod. The second hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the first frame horizontally. One end of the second telescopic rod is movably disposed inside the second hydraulic cylinder, and the other end extends out of the second hydraulic cylinder and is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft. The second telescopic rod can move horizontally relative to the second hydraulic cylinder. When the first horizontal drive assembly is connected to the lifting drive assembly, the second hydraulic cylinder can drive the second telescopic rod to move horizontally relative to the second hydraulic cylinder, thereby moving the first rotating shaft horizontally and causing the storage frame to move between the second and third positions.

[0011] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the *Vernicia fordii* leaf cleaning device disclosed in this embodiment includes a second horizontal drive assembly comprising a third motor and a belt drive component. The belt drive component includes two drive wheels spaced horizontally on one side of the width direction of the second frame, and a drive belt surrounding the two drive wheels. A connecting member is fixedly connected to the drive belt, and one of the drive wheels is sleeved on the output shaft of the third motor. When the second horizontal drive assembly is connected to the storage frame, the connecting member is connected to the storage frame. The third motor drives the drive belt to move horizontally through one of the drive wheels, and the drive belt moves the storage frame horizontally between a third position and a fourth position through the connecting member.

[0012] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the *Vernicia fordii* leaf cleaning device disclosed in this embodiment includes a second horizontal drive assembly comprising a third motor and a chain drive component. The chain drive component includes two drive wheels spaced horizontally on one side of the width direction of the second frame, and a drive chain surrounding the two drive wheels. A connecting member is fixedly connected to the drive chain, and one of the drive wheels is sleeved on the output shaft of the third motor. When the second horizontal drive assembly is connected to the storage frame, the connecting member is connected to the storage frame. The third motor drives the drive chain horizontally through one of the drive wheels, and the drive chain moves the storage frame horizontally between a third position and a fourth position through the connecting member.

[0013] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the *Vernicia fordii* leaf cleaning device disclosed in this embodiment includes a connecting component comprising a gripper and a hook connected to each other. When the second horizontal drive assembly is connected to the storage frame, the gripper is clamped on the drive belt, and the hook is engaged with the corresponding side of the storage frame.

[0014] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the *Vernicia fordii* leaf cleaning device disclosed in this embodiment has a protruding strip extending horizontally downward at the bottom of the storage frame, and a groove extending horizontally on the upper end face of the second frame. When the storage frame moves horizontally between the third and fourth positions, the protruding strip slides horizontally within the groove.

[0015] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the *Sapindus mukorossi* leaf cleaning device disclosed in this embodiment has an air bubble generator installed at the bottom of the soaking tank.

[0016] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] The leaves of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* are first washed by soaking in a soaking tank, and then secondly washed by spraying using a spraying device. Throughout the washing process, the storage frame is moved together with the leaves, while the leaves remain stationary relative to the storage frame. This avoids repeated friction, squeezing, or pulling of the leaves due to relative movement between the leaves and the storage frame, effectively reducing leaf breakage and increasing the yield of processed *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaf slices.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] Unlike fruits and vegetables (such as apples and potatoes), the leaves of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* are small, thin, and delicate, making them easily damaged. When making *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* slices, it is necessary to ensure the integrity of the leaves. If existing cleaning devices used for cleaning fruits and vegetables (rotary stirring or rolling brush cleaning devices) are used to clean *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves, the stirring rod or brush of the cleaning device will repeatedly rub, squeeze, or pull against the leaves, causing leaf damage and affecting the yield of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaf slices.

[0027] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaf cleaning device, which cleans *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves by combining soaking and spraying. The combination of these two cleaning methods ensures that the leaves are thoroughly cleaned. Throughout the cleaning process, the leaves remain stationary relative to the storage frame, which avoids repeated friction, squeezing, or pulling of the leaves, effectively reducing leaf breakage rate and increasing the yield of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaf slices.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] This embodiment provides a device for cleaning leaves of *Sapindus mukorossi*, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the cleaning device includes a soaking tank 1, a first frame 2, a spray assembly 3, a second frame 4, a storage box 5, a lifting drive assembly 6, a first horizontal drive assembly 7, and a second horizontal drive assembly 8. The soaking tank 1 is filled with a soaking solution (such as clean water or sodium bicarbonate solution) to soak the leaves of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* to remove dust and other impurities from the leaf surface, i.e., primary cleaning. The spray assembly 3 is located on one side of the first frame 2 along the horizontal direction and has multiple downward-facing nozzles 30 for spraying clean water onto the leaves of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* for secondary cleaning, rinsing away residual impurities. The number of nozzles 30 can be set according to actual needs, such as 5, 10, or 15. It should be noted that when soaking is performed, the soaking solution can clean the lower surface of the leaves of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium*. To improve cleaning efficiency, a cover plate or similar material can be laid on top of the leaves of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* to ensure full contact between the leaves and the soaking solution. When spraying is performed, the upper surface of the leaves of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* is mainly cleaned. The storage frame 5 is used to hold *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves (not shown in the figure); the first frame 2 is mounted above the soaking tank 1, and the second frame 4 is located on the side of the soaking tank 1 horizontally close to the spray assembly 3, and is higher than the top of the soaking tank 1 but lower than the first frame 2 and the nozzle 30 of the spray assembly 3 along the height of the entire device; the first frame 2 and the second frame 4 provide support for each drive assembly; the lifting drive assembly 6 is mainly used to drive the storage frame 5 to scoop the soaked *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves from the soaking tank 1; the first horizontal drive assembly 7 is linked to the storage frame 5 through the lifting drive assembly 6, and is used to lift the storage frame 5 along with the *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves from the soaking tank 1. The material is moved from above the soaking tank 1 to near the spray assembly 3; the second horizontal drive assembly 8 is used to drive the storage frame 5 and the *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves inside it to move on the second frame 4. During the movement of the storage frame 5, it will pass through the area facing the nozzle 30 of the spray assembly 3, and at the same time, the nozzle 30 will be turned on to spray cleaning liquid so that the *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves are thoroughly cleaned. During the entire cleaning process, the storage frame 5 is moved together with the *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves. The *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves are always stationary relative to the storage frame 5, which can avoid the relative movement between the *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves and the storage frame 5 causing the leaves to be repeatedly rubbed, squeezed or pulled, effectively reducing the leaf breakage rate and improving the yield of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaf slices.

[0030] The specific structure of the *Sapindus mukorossi* leaf cleaning device will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the first frame 2 is mounted on a horizontal plane and can be flat, frame-shaped, rod-shaped, etc. In one specific embodiment, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the first frame 2 includes two parallel connecting rods; the frame can be supported by multiple (e.g., four) vertically erected support rods, or suspended in other ways, as long as the first frame 2 can be stably fixed on the horizontal plane; the soaking tank 1 is located below the first frame 2; the first frame 2 includes two parallel connecting rods, which extend horizontally ( Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 (in the X direction), the soaking tank 1 is located below these two connecting rods. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the spray assembly 3 is installed in the soaking tank 1 along the horizontal direction ( Figure 2 , Figure 3 One side of the X direction (as shown) (e.g.) Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown on the right), the second frame 4 and the spray assembly 3 are located on the same side of the soaking tank 1. The second frame 4 extends horizontally away from the soaking tank 1, and the upper surface of the second frame 4 can be used to place the storage frame 5. Vertically, the upper surface of the second frame 4 is higher than the upper end of the soaking tank 1. The first part of the second frame 4 (the end closer to the soaking tank 1) is located below the first frame 2, and the second part (the end away from the soaking tank 1) is located below the spray assembly 3. That is, the nozzle 30 of the spray assembly 3 can spray water onto the second part of the second frame 4. When the storage frame 5 moves from the first part to the second part of the second frame 4, the nozzle 30 sprays a cleaning liquid (such as water) onto the leaves of the *Sapindus mukorossi* in the storage frame 5 for cleaning. The spray assembly 3 can be suspended above the second frame 4, or it can be set on one side of the second frame 4 in the width direction by means of a support rod, etc. In one specific embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the spray assembly 3 is located on one side of the width direction of the second frame 4, and the nozzles 30 are arranged in the horizontal direction (the length direction of the second frame 4). After the nozzles 30 are turned on, they can automatically adjust their angle to face the middle of the second frame 4 to wash the Sapindus mukorossi leaves in the storage box 5 that has been transported.

[0032] During the cleaning process, the storage frame 5 and the *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves inside it need to be soaked in the soaking tank 1 for a certain period of time. A bubble generator (e.g., an ultrasonic bubble generator) can be installed at the bottom of the soaking tank 1. The bubble generator can generate a large number of tiny bubbles in the liquid. When the bubbles burst on the leaf surface, they release pressure to peel off impurities and microorganisms attached to the surface of the *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves, thereby improving cleaning efficiency. After soaking, the storage frame 5 and the *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves inside it need to be lifted from the soaking tank 1 to above it. The storage frame 5 should have at least a partial or overall mesh structure at the bottom to separate the *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves from the soaking liquid. After lifting, the storage frame 5 is moved to the end of the second frame 4 closest to the soaking tank 1 (the first part), and then further moved to the end of the second frame 4 away from the soaking tank 1. During the movement, the nozzle 30 sprays water into the storage frame 5 for secondary cleaning. Alternatively, the second frame 4 can be set as... The structure allows water to drain downwards. For example, when the upper end of the second frame 4 is a flat platform (supported on a horizontal surface by support columns, etc.), multiple through holes can be set on the platform. The sprayed liquid can drain to the bottom through the through holes. When the second frame 4 is set as a frame structure, the upper edge of the frame structure can support the storage frame 5 and the middle of the upper surface of the frame structure is a hollow structure. A liquid collection tank is set at the bottom of the second frame 4. The cleaned liquid can flow through the mesh structure of the storage frame 5 into the liquid collection tank and be collected.

[0033] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the transfer of the storage box 5 between the first position and the second position is achieved by driving the lifting drive assembly 6. The transfer of the storage box 5 between the second position and the third position is achieved by driving the lifting drive assembly 6 to move horizontally through the first horizontal drive assembly 7, thereby moving the storage box 5 in conjunction with it. The transfer of the storage box 5 between the second position and the third position is achieved by driving the second horizontal drive assembly 8.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the lifting drive assembly 6 and the first horizontal drive assembly 7 are mounted on the first frame 2, and the second horizontal drive assembly 8 is mounted in the width direction of the second frame 4 (parallel to the width direction of the first frame 2, i.e., ...). Figure 5 (as shown in the Y direction) on one side. The storage box 5 needs to be moved from the first position (…). Figure 2 Position A shown in the diagram moves to the second position ( Figure 2 When in position B, the lifting drive assembly 6 is connected to the storage frame 5 via a transmission connection (e.g., the lifting rope 611 of the lifting drive assembly 6 is hung on the storage frame 5 via a hook), and the lifting drive assembly 6 drives the storage frame 5 to move vertically. Figure 2 The image shows the state of the storage box 5 inside the soaking tank 1. Figure 1The storage frame 5 shown is in the second position, above the soaking tank 1, with its bottom spaced apart from the top of the soaking tank 1. It should be noted that the lifting drive assembly 6 can be specifically configured as a mechanism consisting of a motor, a rotating shaft, a connecting rotating shaft, and a lifting rope that can be wound around the connecting rotating shaft; it can also be configured as a hydraulic drive mechanism and / or a telescopic rod structure, as long as it enables the storage frame 5 to move vertically up and down.

[0035] Furthermore, the storage box 5 needs to be moved from the second position to the third position. Figure 2 and Figure 3 When in position C, the first horizontal drive assembly 7 is connected to the lifting drive assembly 6 (the hook of the lifting drive assembly 6 needs to remain connected to the storage box 5). The first horizontal drive assembly 7 drives the lifting drive assembly 6 to move horizontally, and the lifting drive assembly 6 moves the storage box 5 from the second position to the third position. After the storage box 5 reaches the third position, the storage box 5 is disconnected from the lifting drive assembly 6 (e.g., the worker manually removes the hook hanging on the storage box 5). In the third position, the storage box 5 is set on the first part of the second frame 4. Figure 3 The diagram shows the state of the storage box 5 in the third position. It should be noted that the first horizontal drive assembly 7 may specifically include a motor, a rotating shaft, and a traction rope connecting the rotating shaft and the rotating shaft of the lifting drive assembly 6. The traction rope may be wound around the rotating shaft of the first horizontal drive assembly 7. The first horizontal drive assembly 7 may also be a hydraulic drive mechanism, as long as it enables the storage box 5 to move horizontally on the first frame 2.

[0036] The storage box 5 needs to be moved from the third position to the fourth position. Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the storage box 5 reaches the third position (position D), it is connected to the second horizontal drive assembly 8 via a connector (e.g., connecting member 812). (The hook 8121 of the connecting member 812 can be manually engaged by the worker onto the storage box 5). The second horizontal drive assembly 8 is connected to the storage box 5 in a transmission manner, and can drive the storage box 5 from the third position to the fourth position. In the fourth position, the storage box 5 is located at the end of the second part of the second frame 4 away from the soaking tank 1. It should be noted that the second horizontal drive assembly 8 can be a belt drive mechanism or a chain drive mechanism, as long as it can drive the storage box 5 to move horizontally on the second frame 4. In one specific embodiment of this utility model, as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, a horizontally extending ridge 50 can be provided at the bottom of the storage frame 5, and a horizontally extending groove 40 is provided on the upper surface of the second frame 4. After the storage frame 5 is moved to the third position, the ridge 50 and the groove 40 are fitted and engaged. When the storage frame 5 moves horizontally between the third and fourth positions, the ridge 50 slides horizontally in the groove 40. The way the ridge 50 and the groove 40 cooperate can limit the storage frame 5 and prevent the storage frame 5 from shifting.

[0037] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the lifting drive assembly 6 is disposed between the two ends of the first frame 2 in the horizontal direction. The lifting drive assembly 6 includes a first motor 60 and a first transmission component 61. The first motor 60 is used to provide power, and the housing of the first motor 60 can be slidably connected to one side of the first frame 2 (e.g., a support plate for placing the first motor 60 is provided on one side of the first frame 2). The first transmission component 61 is used to drive the storage box 5 to move in the vertical direction using the power of the first motor 60. The first transmission component 61 includes a first rotating shaft 610 and a lifting rope 611. The first rotating shaft 610 is slidably connected (e.g., connected by a mutually cooperating protrusion and groove structure) to the upper surface of the first frame 2. The first rotating shaft 610 is slidably connected along the width direction of the first frame 2 ( Figure 4 Extending in the Y direction (as shown), one end of the lifting rope 611 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 610, and the other end of the lifting rope 611 can be connected to or disconnected from the storage frame 5. The first rotating shaft 610 can rotate around its axial direction. One end of the first rotating shaft 610 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 60. The first motor 60 drives the first rotating shaft 610 to rotate. When the first rotating shaft 610 rotates, the lifting rope 611 is wound around the first rotating shaft 610 or unwound from the first rotating shaft 610. When the lifting drive assembly 6 needs to move the storage frame 5 from the first position to the second position, the other end of the lifting rope 611 is connected to the storage frame 5. The first motor 60 drives the first rotating shaft 610 to rotate, causing the lifting rope 611 to wind around the first rotating shaft 610, and the lifting rope 611 moves the storage frame 5 upward in conjunction with the storage frame 5.

[0038] In another specific embodiment of this utility model, the lifting drive assembly 6 includes a first hydraulic cylinder and a first telescopic rod. The first hydraulic cylinder is used to push the first telescopic rod to move relative to the first hydraulic cylinder using hydraulic pressure. The outer shell of the first hydraulic cylinder is vertically connected to the first frame 2, so that the first hydraulic cylinder extends vertically. One end of the first telescopic rod is movably disposed inside the first hydraulic cylinder, and the other end extends out of the first hydraulic cylinder, that is, the first telescopic rod extends vertically and can move vertically relative to the first hydraulic cylinder. When the lifting drive assembly 6 needs to move the storage frame 5 from the first position to the second position, the end of the first telescopic rod extending out of the first hydraulic cylinder is connected to the storage frame 5 (e.g., connected to the storage frame 5 through a magnetic structure, hook, etc. at the end of the first telescopic rod). The lifting drive assembly 6 is connected to the storage frame 5 in a transmission manner, and the first hydraulic cylinder drives the first telescopic rod to move vertically upward relative to the first hydraulic cylinder, thereby moving the storage frame 5 from the first position to the second position.

[0039] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the first horizontal drive assembly 7 is disposed on the first frame 2, and can be disposed at both ends of the first frame 2, that is, a first horizontal drive assembly 7 is disposed on each side of the lifting drive assembly 6 along the horizontal direction, as shown. Figures 1-4 As shown, the first horizontal drive component 7, located to the right of the lifting drive component 6, drives the lifting drive component 6 and the storage box 5 to move horizontally to the right, so that the storage box 5 moves from the second position to the third position. When it is necessary to move the storage box 5 from the third position to the second position, the first horizontal drive component 7, located to the left of the lifting drive component 6, drives the lifting drive component 6 and the storage box 5 to move horizontally to the left. This is applicable after completing one round of cleaning and removing the *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves from the storage box 5, and then resetting the storage box 5 (i.e., from the fourth position, through the third position, and the second position back to the first position to prepare for cleaning new *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaves). It should be noted that when the first horizontal drive component 7 drives the lifting drive component 6 to move, the lifting drive component 6 and the storage box 5 remain connected.

[0040] like Figures 2-4As shown, each first horizontal drive assembly 7 includes a second motor 70 and a second transmission component 71. The second motor 70 provides power, and its housing can be fixedly connected to the first frame 2. The second transmission component 71 is used to drive the storage box 5 to move horizontally using the power of the second motor 70. The second transmission component 71 includes a second rotating shaft 710 and a traction rope 711. The second rotating shaft 710 extends along the width direction of the first frame 2 and can be supported on the first frame 2 by bearing seats, etc. One end of the traction rope 711 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 710, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 610. The second rotating shaft 710 can rotate about its axial direction. One end of the second rotating shaft 710 is drively connected to the output shaft of the second motor 70. The second motor 70 drives the second rotating shaft 710 to rotate, and the traction rope 711 can be wound around or unwound from the second rotating shaft 710 when the second rotating shaft 710 rotates. Taking the first horizontal drive component 7 located on the right side of the lifting drive component 6 as an example, when the first horizontal drive component 7 needs to drive the lifting drive component 6 to move horizontally, thereby moving the storage box 5 from the second position to the third position, the first horizontal drive component 7 located on the right side of the lifting drive component 6 is connected to the lifting drive component 6 in a transmission connection. The second motor 70 drives the second rotating shaft 710 to rotate, which drives the traction rope 711 on the right side to wind around the second rotating shaft 710. The traction rope 711 drives the first rotating shaft 610 to move to the right in the horizontal direction, and the storage box 5 moves from the second position to the third position. Then the hoisting rope 611 of the lifting drive component 6 is disconnected from the storage box 5.

[0041] In another specific embodiment of this utility model, the first horizontal drive assembly 7 is arranged horizontally on either side of the lifting drive assembly 6. The first horizontal drive assembly 7 includes a second hydraulic cylinder and a second telescopic rod, wherein the second hydraulic cylinder is used to push the second telescopic rod to move relative to the second hydraulic cylinder using hydraulic pressure. The outer shell of the second hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the first frame 2 in the horizontal direction, so that the second hydraulic cylinder extends parallel to the extension direction (horizontal direction) of the first frame 2. One end of the second telescopic rod is movably disposed inside the second hydraulic cylinder, and the other end extends out of the second hydraulic cylinder and is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 610, that is, the second telescopic rod extends in the horizontal direction and can move horizontally relative to the second hydraulic cylinder. When the first horizontal drive assembly 7 needs to drive the lifting drive assembly 6 to move horizontally and move the storage box 5 from the second position to the third position, the first horizontal drive assembly 7 is connected to the lifting drive assembly 6. At this time, the second hydraulic cylinder drives the second telescopic rod to move horizontally toward the second frame 4 relative to the second hydraulic cylinder. The second telescopic rod drives the first rotating shaft 610 to move horizontally toward the direction close to the second frame 4. The first rotating shaft 610 moves the storage box 5 from the second position to the third position through the hoisting rope 611. Then the hoisting rope 611 is disconnected from the storage box 5.

[0042] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 , Figures 5-6 As shown, the second horizontal drive assembly 8 is located on either side of the second frame 4 along its width direction and is positioned above the second frame 4 to facilitate connection with the storage box 5 placed on the second frame 4. The second horizontal drive assembly 8 includes a third motor 80 and a belt drive component 81. The third motor 80 provides power, and its housing can be connected to one side of the second frame 4 via a connecting structure such as a connecting plate (not shown). The belt drive component 81 is used to drive the storage box 5 horizontally along the second frame 4 using the power of the third motor 80.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the belt drive component 81 includes two drive wheels 810 (drive wheels 810 are pulleys) and a drive belt 811, which are horizontally spaced on one side of the width direction of the second frame 4. That is, the two drive wheels 810 are horizontally arranged at both ends of the second frame 4, and the drive belt 811 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the two drive wheels 810. A belt with high friction, such as rubber, can be selected as the drive belt 811. One of the drive wheels 810 is sleeved on the output shaft of the third motor 80 so that the third motor 80 drives the drive wheel 810. The rotation of the drive wheel 810 drives the drive belt 811 to drive between the two drive wheels 810. Furthermore, a connecting member 812 is fixedly connected to the transmission belt 811. The connecting member 812 is used to connect with the storage frame 5. One end of the connecting member 812 along the width direction of the second frame 4 includes a gripper 8120 and the other end includes a hook 8121. The gripper 8120 is clamped on the transmission belt 811, and the hook 8121 is used to engage with the corresponding side of the storage frame 5. When the second horizontal drive assembly 8 needs to move the storage box 5 from the third position to the fourth position, the lifting drive assembly 6 (such as the hook connected to the hoisting rope 611) is disconnected from the storage box 5. The second horizontal drive assembly 8 is connected to the storage box 5 in a transmission manner. The hook 8121 of the connecting member 812 is engaged on the side corresponding to the storage box 5. The third motor 80 drives a transmission wheel 810 connected to it to rotate. The transmission wheel 810 drives the transmission belt 811 and the connecting member 812 on the transmission belt 811 to move in the horizontal direction. The connecting member 812 moves the storage box 5 from the third position to the fourth position. During the movement of the storage box 5, the nozzle 30 of the spray assembly 3 sprays clean water onto the leaves of the *Sapindus mukorossi* in the storage box 5.

[0044] In another specific embodiment of this utility model, the second horizontal drive assembly 8 is located on any side of the second frame 4 along its width direction and is positioned above the second frame 4 to facilitate connection with the storage box 5 placed on the second frame 4. The second horizontal drive assembly 8 includes a third motor and a chain drive component, wherein the third motor provides power, and the housing of the third motor can be connected to the second frame 4 via a connecting structure such as a connecting plate (not shown in the figure). The chain drive component is used to drive the storage box 5 to move horizontally on the second frame 4 using the power of the third motor 80.

[0045] Specifically, the chain drive component includes two drive wheels (drive wheels are sprockets) horizontally spaced on one side of the width direction of the second frame 4, and a drive chain. The two drive wheels are horizontally positioned at both ends of the second frame 4, and the drive chain surrounds the outer circumference of the two drive wheels. The outer circumference of the drive wheels has protruding structures that mesh with each link of the drive chain. One drive wheel is mounted on the output shaft of a third motor, so that the motor drives the drive wheel, and the rotation of the drive wheel drives the drive chain to move between the two drive wheels. A connecting member (the specific structure of the connecting member is similar to that of the connecting member connected to the transmission belt 811) is fixedly connected to the drive chain. The connecting member is used to connect to the storage frame 5. One end of the connecting member along the width direction of the second frame 4 includes a gripper, and the other end includes a hook. The gripper clamps onto the drive chain, and the hook engages with the corresponding side of the storage frame 5. When the second horizontal drive assembly 8 needs to move the storage box 5 from the third position to the fourth position, the lifting drive assembly 6 (such as the hook connected to the hoisting rope 611) is disconnected from the storage box 5. The second horizontal drive assembly 8 is connected to the storage box 5 in a transmission manner. The hook of the connecting component is engaged with the corresponding side of the storage box 5. The third motor drives a transmission wheel connected to it to rotate. The transmission wheel drives the transmission chain and the connecting component on the transmission chain to move in the horizontal direction. The connecting component moves the storage box 5 from the third position to the fourth position. During the movement of the storage box 5, the nozzle 30 of the spray assembly 3 sprays clean water onto the leaves of the *Sapindus mukorossi* in the storage box 5.

[0046] To clearly understand the working process of the *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* leaf cleaning device of this utility model, the following example illustrates the following: the lifting drive assembly 6 includes a first motor 60 and a first transmission component 61; the first horizontal drive assembly 7 includes a second motor 70 and a second transmission component 71; and the second horizontal drive assembly 8 includes a third motor 80 and a belt drive component 81. Figures 2-6 The working process of this device will be explained.

[0047] In the initial state before cleaning, such as Figure 2As shown, *Sapindus mukorossi* leaves (not shown) are laid in the storage frame 5. The storage frame 5, along with the leaves, is immersed in the soaking solution in the soaking tank 1, i.e., the storage frame 5 is in the first position. At this time, one end of the lifting rope 611 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the storage frame 5. After soaking for a certain period of time, the soaking and cleaning are completed. The first motor 60 drives the storage frame 5 to move upward to the second position through the first rotating shaft 610 and the lifting rope 611. The second motor 70, located on the right side of the first frame 2, drives the first rotating shaft 610 and the storage frame 5 to move to the second position through the second rotating shaft 710 and the traction rope 711. Figure 3 In the third position shown, the hoisting rope 611 is disconnected from the storage frame 5, and the hook 8121 of the connecting member 812 is engaged with the side wall of the storage frame 5. The third motor 80 drives the transmission wheel 810 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission belt 811 and the connecting member 812 on the transmission belt 811 to move horizontally. The connecting member 812 moves the storage frame 5 from the third position to the fourth position. During the movement of the storage frame 5, the nozzles 30 of the spray assembly 3 spray clean water onto the leaves of *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* in the storage frame 5. After the spray cleaning is completed, the workers can remove the leaves from the storage frame 5 and place them into the device for the subsequent process. After one cleaning is completed, the empty storage frame 5 can be moved from the fourth position back to the first position.
