This invention discloses an automated device and method for cleaning multiple types of vegetables, belonging to the technical field of vegetable cleaning equipment. It includes a feeding and conveying
assembly, cleaning tanks for
leafy vegetables, fruits, and root vegetables, as well as a conveying
assembly for each type of vegetable. The cleaning tanks for
leafy vegetables, fruits, and root vegetables are all located outside the feeding and conveying
assembly. Through the coordinated operation of a first, second, and third cleaning mechanism, this invention employs specific cleaning
modes tailored to the physical characteristics of
leafy vegetables, fruits, and root vegetables: gentle, non-contact bubble cleaning; general cleaning with soft brushes; and powerful cleaning with alternating scrubbing using hard brushes. This ensures that
leafy vegetables remain undamaged, fruits are scratch-free, and root vegetables are efficiently cleaned, achieving a balance between food integrity and thorough cleaning.
