[0013] Working principle: First, the chili raw material is put into the cleaning box 2. Motor 1 3 drives the rotating column 4 to drive multiple stirring plates 32 to rotate and stir the material, so that the chili peppers are initially separated from the branches. Then the material falls to the surface of the conical plate 8. Motor 2 6 drives the conical plate 8 to rotate through the rotating shaft 1 7. The inclined surface of the conical plate promotes the rolling and dispersion of the material. Multiple diversion plates 9 are distributed in a stepped manner to slow down the falling speed of the chili peppers and extend the cleaning time. At the same time, two fans 10 are started to blow light impurities into the collection box 11. The chili peppers that have been initially cleaned continue to fall to the surface of the screening plate 17. Motor 3 13 drives the eccentric plate 15 to rotate through the rotating shaft 2 14. The connecting rod 16 cooperates with the elastic plate 18 to make the screening plate 17 vibrate. Larger impurities and unqualified chili peppers fall through the screen holes into the inclined plate 19 for guidance and collection. Qualified chili peppers fall to the surface of the conveyor belt 31. During the transport process of the conveyor belt 31, multiple fans 21 inside the perforated plate 20 blow the material a second time to remove residual impurities. The impurities are blown to the collection box 23 for temporary storage. The peppers then arrive at the cleaning area. The water tank 28 supplies water to multiple spray heads 30 through the water storage box 29, forming an atomized water flow to pre-wet the surface of the peppers. At the same time, the motor 24 drives the rotating shaft 25 to rotate the cleaning roller 26, which rubs against the peppers on the conveyor belt 31 to achieve surface cleaning. Finally, the processed peppers fall into the box on top of the substrate 1.

[0014] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
