[0015] Furthermore, the lifting and lowering of the vertical rod in the adjustment component causes the spiral telescopic tube to stretch, thereby adjusting the impact force of the nozzle when spraying potatoes. The nozzle can also meet the needs of washing different vegetables. By injecting a certain amount of water into the washing box, the vegetables can be soaked and washed.

[0016] Another object of the present invention is to provide an energy-saving vegetable washing and drying method, comprising the following steps:

[0017] S1: Multi-station immersion cleaning:

[0018] When soaking and washing a variety of vegetables, firstly, water at a moving height is injected into the washing box, and then different kinds of vegetables are placed in the collecting bucket in turn. At this time, a plurality of rotating frames can block the vegetables floating on the water surface above the collecting bucket. Since a plurality of collecting buckets are provided, the plurality of collecting buckets can meet the requirements of simultaneous washing of a variety of vegetables, which effectively improves the efficiency of vegetable washing. Moreover, the central cylinder can be rotated to centrifugally stir the vegetables when washing them, so that the vegetables are washed separately in the washing box and turned over continuously, which effectively improves the cleanliness. At the same time, the rotation of the central cylinder drives the brush plate to rotate, and the contact point of the turned vegetables can be increased with the convex block, so that the vegetables are cleaned more thoroughly.

[0019] S2: Spray flushing:

[0020] When spraying potatoes with a lot of dirt, the washing box is filled with water and the water level is ensured to be lower than the collecting bucket. Then the spray head is turned on to spray and wash the potatoes in the collecting bucket. The central cylinder is rotated to make multiple collecting buckets rotate in opposite positions, thereby driving the potatoes to turn over, thereby effectively ensuring comprehensive spraying and washing of the potatoes.

[0021] S3: Vegetable drying:

[0022] When the washed vegetables are to be dried quickly, the fan is turned on to blow air to dry the washed vegetables. The air outlet on the central cylinder is adjusted by rotating the regulating cylinder to adjust the drying speed of the vegetables. At the same time, the motor is turned on to drive the central cylinder to rotate, so that the vegetables in the collecting bucket can be swung to drain water, thereby further accelerating the drying of the washed vegetables.

[0023] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0024] 1. The present invention can separate the washing box into multiple chambers by arranging multiple rotating racks, so that multiple vegetables can be washed separately in independent chambers. The arrangement of the collecting bucket and the nozzle can meet the requirement of flushing and spraying vegetables such as potatoes with large amounts of dirt on the surface. Moreover, by injecting a certain amount of clean water into the washing box and pouring multiple vegetables into the chambers formed between the multiple rotating racks and the washing box, the vegetables can be immersed and washed. By rotating the central cylinder to drive the multiple rotating racks to rotate, the vegetables can be centrifugally rotated while being immersed and washed or sprayed, thereby enhancing the cleaning efficiency of the vegetables in the washing box. At the same time, the arrangement of the brush plate and the protrusion can make the brush plate and the protrusion contact the vegetables when the central cylinder rotates, so that the vegetables can be washed more cleanly.

[0025] 2. The present invention can dry the washed vegetables by turning on the fan, and can also drain the vegetables by moving the collecting bucket upward to accelerate the drying of the vegetables. The regulating cylinder can be rotated in the central cylinder to adjust the size of the air outlets on the central cylinder and the regulating cylinder. The drying speed of the vegetables can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the air outlets. The central cylinder can be turned on to rotate so that multiple collecting buckets can drive the vegetables to rotate, and the vegetables can be centrifugally rotated during drying, which further accelerates the drying efficiency of the vegetables.

[0026] 3. Through the setting of the adjustment component, the nozzle can be adjusted up and down when spraying and rinsing vegetables, and the spraying distance between the nozzle and the vegetables can be adjusted to control the spraying intensity of the nozzle, so as to perform controllable spraying and rinsing according to the stains on the vegetable surface. Through the setting of the water supply component, while the central cylinder rotates to drive the vegetables to rotate centrifugally, it can also automatically supply water to the nozzle, thus completing the recycling of water during vegetable cleaning. Through the setting of the pressing component, the vegetables floating between the two rotating frames can be repeatedly pressed during soaking, so that the vegetables can be fully soaked and cleaned in water, further enhancing the cleaning effect of the vegetables.

[0027] 4. By starting the drive, the lifting wheel rotates. When the lifting wheel rotates, it meshes with the tooth groove to make the L-shaped bracket rise. When the L-shaped bracket rises, it synchronously drags the collecting hopper to rise. Through the rise of the collecting hopper, the vegetables after cleaning can be quickly salvaged and dragged out. When the lifting wheel rotates and the L-shaped bracket moves the collecting hopper upward, by pushing the push rod, the U-shaped block can support and release the collecting hopper, and can also drain the water in the collecting hopper for subsequent drying operations of the vegetables.

[0028] 5. When the central cylinder rotates, it drives the electric push rod to rotate through the meshing of the gear ring and the electric push rod. When the electric push rod rotates, it synchronously drives the rotating rod to rotate through the belt pulley and the belt. When the rotating rod rotates, it drives the cam to rotate. When the cam rotates, it reciprocally sucks and draws the piston rod in the suction cylinder through the push and pull plate. When the piston rod sucks the gas in the suction cylinder upward, at this time, the arc-shaped pipe transports the clear water precipitated on one side of the external box to the water tank through the water supply pipe, and then conducts circulating water supply to the water tank.

[0029] 6. The air cylinder repeatedly expands and contracts to make the pressing hopper press and clean the vegetables floating between the two rotating frames. And when the pressing hopper presses the vegetables in the water, due to the impact force, the blocking part moves out of the collecting port. At this time, since the pressing hopper presses the vegetables into the water, the impurities floating on the water surface will enter the upper part of the pressing hopper through the collecting port. Subsequently, with the upward movement of the pressing hopper, the push rod moves downward under the action of the spring, so that the blocking part moves downward to block the collecting port, thus completing the collection and salvage of the impurities in the vegetables during the soaking and cleaning of the vegetables.

A screw rod 212 is rotatably installed on the top of the control cylinder 211. A fan 213 is rotatably installed on the bottom of the screw rod 212. A water tank 25 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the cleaning box 2. One end of the water tank 25 is connected to a water supply pipe 253 located in the external box 1. A spiral telescopic pipe 251 that passes through the cleaning box 2 is fixedly installed on the lower end surface of the water tank 25. A nozzle 252 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the spiral telescopic pipe 251. An adjusting component connected to the cleaning box 2 is provided on one side of the water tank 25. A water supply component connected to the water tank 25 is provided on the outside of the center cylinder 21. A pressing component for pressing and cleaning vegetables when soaking is detachably installed on the top of the cleaning box 2.

[0047] By setting up multiple rotating racks 22, the cleaning box 2 can be divided into multiple chambers, so that multiple vegetables can be washed separately in independent chambers. By setting up the collecting bucket 223 and the nozzle 252, vegetables with a lot of dirt on the surface of potatoes can be sprayed and rinsed. By injecting a certain amount of clean water into the cleaning box 2 and pouring multiple vegetables into the chambers formed between the multiple rotating racks 22 and the cleaning box 2, the vegetables can be immersed and washed. By rotating the central tube 21 to drive the multiple rotating racks 22 to rotate, the vegetables can be centrifugally rotated while being immersed and washed or sprayed, thereby enhancing the cleaning efficiency of the vegetables in the cleaning box 2. At the same time, the setting of the brush plate 221 and the protrusion 24 can make the brush plate 221 and the protrusion 24 contact the vegetables when the central tube 21 rotates, so that the vegetables are washed more cleanly.

[0048] By turning on the fan 213, the washed vegetables can be dried, and by moving the collecting bucket 223 upward to drive the vegetables, the vegetables can be drained, thereby accelerating the drying of the vegetables. By rotating the regulating cylinder 211 in the central cylinder 21, the size of the air outlets on the central cylinder 21 and the regulating cylinder 211 can be adjusted, and the speed of drying the vegetables can be regulated by adjusting the size of the air outlets. By turning on the central cylinder 21 to rotate and causing multiple collecting buckets 223 to drive the vegetables to rotate, the vegetables can also be centrifugally rotated during drying, thereby further accelerating the drying efficiency of the vegetables.

[0049] By setting the adjustment component, the nozzle 252 can be raised and lowered when spraying and washing vegetables. By adjusting the spraying distance between the nozzle 252 and the vegetables, the spraying intensity of the nozzle 252 can be regulated, so that controllable spraying and washing can be performed according to the stains on the surface of the vegetables. By setting the water supply component, the central tube 21 can be rotated to drive the vegetables to rotate centrifugally while automatically supplying water to the nozzle 252, thereby completing the recycling of water when washing vegetables. By setting the pressing component, the vegetables floating between the two rotating frames 22 can be repeatedly pressed when soaking, so that the vegetables are fully soaked and washed in water, further enhancing the cleaning effect of the vegetables.

[0050] The inner cavity of the outer box 1 is provided with a guide frame 10 placed at the lower part of the cleaning box 2, and the guide frame 10 separates the outer box 1 into two parts. One side of the guide frame 10 is in the shape of an annular slope, and a cleaning bucket 11 is provided at the lower part of the slope.

[0051] The guide frame 10 can be set to guide the muddy water when washing vegetables, so that the mud and sand in the water are precipitated and collected in the cleaning bucket 11. The water in the external box 1 near the water supply pipe 253 is the clean water after precipitation, which can be used for circulating spraying of vegetables.

[0052] On one side of the cleaning tank 2, there is a vertically installed box 23 fixedly mounted and communicating with the inner cavity of the cleaning tank 2. On one side of the cleaning tank 2 close to the vertically installed box 23, there is a through groove. An L-shaped bracket 231 is slidably installed in the through groove. One side of the lower part of the L-shaped bracket 231 is used to lift and take out any one of the collecting hoppers 223. In the middle of the side of the vertically installed box 23 away from the cleaning tank 2, a lifting wheel 233 is rotatably installed by a motor. At equal intervals on one side of the L-shaped bracket 231 close to the lifting wheel 233, there are tooth grooves 232 engaged with the lifting wheel 233.

[0053] When the motor is started to drive the lifting wheel 233 to rotate, when the lifting wheel 233 rotates, it meshes with the tooth grooves 232 to cause the L-shaped bracket 231 to rise. When the L-shaped bracket 231 rises, it synchronously drags the collecting hopper 223 to rise. Through the rising of the collecting hopper 223, the vegetables after cleaning can be quickly fished out.

[0054] A plurality of circumferentially arranged rectangular boxes 214 are fixedly mounted outside the cleaning tank 2. The plurality of rectangular boxes 214 correspond to the plurality of collecting hoppers 223 respectively. On one side of the rectangular box 214, a push-pull rod 215 is installed to penetrate and slide in the rectangular box 214. One end of the push-pull rod 215 is fixedly installed with a U-shaped block 216. A spring is sleeved outside the push-pull rod 215. The U-shaped block 216 penetrates and slides on the side wall of the cleaning tank 2.

[0055] When the L-shaped bracket 231 moves the collecting hopper 223 upward by the rotation of the lifting wheel 233, by pushing the push-pull rod 215, the U-shaped block 216 can support and release the collecting hopper 223, and can also drain the water from the vegetables in the collecting hopper 223 for subsequent drying operations of the vegetables.

[0056] The adjusting assembly includes a fixed frame 254 installed on the top of the cleaning tank 2. A motor 255 is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed frame 254. The output end of the motor 255 is fixedly installed with a threaded rod 256. The end of the threaded rod 256 away from the motor 255 is rotatably connected to the cleaning tank 2. A lifting frame 257 is threadedly rotatably installed on the threaded rod 256, and the lifting frame 257 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 254. One side of the lower part of the lifting frame 257 is fixedly installed with a vertical rod 258. The vertical rod 258 penetrates and slides in the cleaning tank 2. One side of the lower part of the vertical rod 258 is fixedly installed with a connecting rod 259. One end of the connecting rod 259 away from the vertical rod 258 is fixedly connected to the spiral telescopic tube 251.

[0057] When adjusting the spraying intensity of the spray head 252, the motor 255 is started to drive the threaded rod 256 to rotate. When the threaded rod 256 rotates, it performs a lifting operation on the lifting frame 257. When the lifting frame 257 rises and falls, it drives the spray head 252 to rise and fall through the vertical rod 258 and the connecting rod 259. When the spray head 252 moves downward, at this time, the spiral telescopic tube 251 is stretched, so that the spray head 252 is close to the vegetables, thereby strengthening the spraying intensity on the vegetables.

[0058] The water supply assembly includes a gear ring 41 installed on the outside of the central tube 21, and an electric push rod 42 rotatably connected to the cleaning box 2 is provided on one side of the gear ring 41, and a gear 43 meshing with the gear ring 41 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the electric push rod 42. The electric push rod 42 is provided with an ear plate installed on the outer wall of the cleaning box 2 on the side away from the central tube 21, and a rotating rod 44 is rotatably installed in the middle of the ear plate, and pulleys are fixedly installed on the upper part of the rotating rod 44 and the electric push rod 42.

[0059] A belt is provided between the pulleys, a cam 45 is fixedly installed at the lower part of the rotating rod 44, a push-pull plate 48 is rotatably installed on one side of the cam 45, a suction cylinder 46 fixedly connected to the cleaning box 2 is provided below the push-pull plate 48, a piston rod 47 that penetrates and slides in the suction cylinder 46 is provided on the side of the suction cylinder 46 away from the cleaning box 2, the round rod on one side of the push-pull plate 48 slides in the piston rod 47, an arc tube 49 connected to the water supply pipe 253 is installed on the side wall of the suction cylinder 46, and a water stop valve is provided at the connection.

[0060] When the vegetables in the cleaning box 2 need to be sprayed and rinsed, first turn on the electric push rod 42 and push it up until the gear 43 on the electric push rod 42 engages with the ring gear 41. The center tube 21 rotates and the ring gear 41 engages with the electric push rod 42, thereby driving the electric push rod 42 to rotate. When the electric push rod 42 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 44 to rotate synchronously through the pulley and the belt. When the rotating rod 44 rotates, it drives the cam 45 to rotate. When the cam 45 rotates, the push-pull plate 48 is used to reciprocate the piston rod 47 in the suction cylinder 46. When the piston rod 47 draws the gas in the suction cylinder 46 upward, the arc tube 49 transports the clean water precipitated on one side of the external box 1 to the water tank 25 through the water supply pipe 253, thereby circulating water supply to the water tank 25.

[0061] The pressing assembly includes two symmetrically arranged mounting frames 51, a cylinder 52 is fixedly mounted on the lower end surface of the mounting frames 51, a pressing bucket 53 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic ends of the two cylinders 52, a plurality of collecting ports 54 are opened in the middle of the pressing bucket 53, a pushing rod 56 which penetrates and slides with the pressing bucket 53 is provided on one side of the collecting port 54, a blocking piece 55 located in the collecting port 54 is fixedly mounted on the top of the pushing rod 56, a spring is sleeved on the outside of the pushing rod 56, and the spring is located in the lower part of the pressing bucket 53, and a drainage hole located between the collecting ports 54 is also provided in the middle of the pressing bucket 53.

[0062] When the vegetables to be soaked and washed are repeatedly pressed, first the two mounting frames 51 are installed on the upper part of the washing box 2, and then the cylinder 52 is turned on to repeatedly extend and retract so that the pressing bucket 53 presses and cleans the vegetables floating between the two rotating frames 22, and when the pressing bucket 53 presses the vegetables in the water, the blocking piece 55 is moved out of the collecting port 54 due to the impact force. At this time, since the pressing bucket 53 presses the vegetables into the water, the impurities floating on the water surface will enter the upper part of the pressing bucket 53 through the collecting port 54, and then the pushing rod 56 moves downward under the action of the spring through the upward movement of the pressing bucket 53, so that the blocking piece 55 moves downward to block the collecting port 54, thereby completing the collection and salvage of impurities in the vegetables when the vegetables are soaked and washed.

[0063] The lifting and lowering of the vertical rod 258 in the adjustment component causes the spiral telescopic tube 251 to stretch, thereby adjusting the impact force of the nozzle 252 when spraying potatoes. The nozzle 252 can also meet the needs of washing different vegetables. By injecting a certain amount of water into the washing box 2, the vegetables can be soaked and washed.

[0064] Another object of the present invention is to provide an energy-saving vegetable washing and drying method, comprising the following steps:

[0065] S1: Multi-station immersion cleaning:

[0066] When soaking and washing a variety of vegetables, firstly, water of a moving height is injected into the washing box 2, and then different kinds of vegetables are placed in the collecting bucket 223 in sequence. At this time, the multiple rotating frames 22 can block the vegetables floating on the water surface above the collecting bucket 223. Since a plurality of collecting buckets 223 are provided, the multiple collecting buckets 223 can meet the requirements of simultaneous washing of a variety of vegetables, effectively improving the efficiency of vegetable washing. Moreover, the central cylinder 21 can be rotated to centrifugally stir the various vegetables when washing, so that the various vegetables are washed separately in the washing box 2 and turned over continuously, effectively improving the cleanliness. At the same time, the rotation of the central cylinder 21 drives the brush plate 221 to rotate, and the contact point of the turned vegetables can be increased with the help of the protrusion 24, so that the vegetables are cleaned more thoroughly.

[0067] S2: Spray flushing:

[0068] When spraying and washing vegetables with a lot of dirt such as potatoes, water is poured into the washing box 2 to ensure that the water level is lower than the collecting bucket 223, and then the spray head 252 is turned on to spray and wash the potatoes in the collecting bucket 223, and the central cylinder 21 is rotated to make the multiple collecting buckets 223 rotate in opposite positions, thereby driving the potatoes to turn over, thereby effectively ensuring the comprehensive spraying and washing of the potatoes;

[0069] S3: Vegetable drying:

[0070] When the washed vegetables are to be dried quickly, the fan 213 is turned on to blow air to dry the washed vegetables. The air outlet on the central tube 21 is adjusted by rotating the regulating tube 211, thereby regulating the drying speed of the vegetables. At the same time, the motor is turned on to drive the central tube 21 to rotate, so that the vegetables in the collecting bucket 223 can be swung to drain water, thereby further accelerating the drying of the washed vegetables.

[0071] When the present invention is in use, the washing box 2 can be divided into multiple chambers by the arrangement of multiple rotating racks 22, so that multiple vegetables can be washed separately in independent chambers. The arrangement of the collecting bucket 223 and the nozzle 252 can meet the requirement of flushing and spraying vegetables with large surface dirt such as potatoes. Moreover, by injecting a certain amount of clean water into the washing box 2 and pouring multiple vegetables into the chambers formed between the multiple rotating racks 22 and the washing box 2, the vegetables can be immersed and washed. The rotation of the central cylinder 21 drives the rotation of the multiple rotating racks 22, so that the vegetables can be centrifugally rotated while being immersed and washed or sprayed, thereby enhancing the cleaning efficiency of the vegetables in the washing box 2. At the same time, the arrangement of the brush plate 221 and the protrusion 24 can make the brush plate 221 and the protrusion 24 contact the vegetables when the central cylinder 21 rotates, so that the vegetables are washed more cleanly.

[0072] The fan 213 can be turned on to dry the washed vegetables, and the vegetables can also be drained when the collecting bucket 223 drives the vegetables upward, thereby accelerating the drying of the vegetables. The regulating cylinder 211 is rotated in the central cylinder 21, and the size of the air outlets on the central cylinder 21 and the regulating cylinder 211 is adjusted. The speed of drying the vegetables can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the air outlets. The central cylinder 21 is turned on to rotate so that the multiple collecting buckets 223 drive the vegetables to rotate, and the vegetables can also be centrifugally rotated when drying, thereby further accelerating the drying efficiency of the vegetables.

[0073] The setting of the adjustment component can make the nozzle 252 rise and fall when spraying and washing vegetables. By adjusting the spraying distance between the nozzle 252 and the vegetables, the spraying intensity of the nozzle 252 can be adjusted, so as to perform controllable spraying and washing according to the stains on the surface of the vegetables. The setting of the water supply component can make the central tube 21 rotate to drive the vegetables to rotate centrifugally while automatically supplying water to the nozzle 252, so as to complete the recycling of water when washing vegetables. The setting of the pressing component can repeatedly press the vegetables floating between the two rotating racks 22 when soaking, so that the vegetables are fully soaked and washed in water, further enhancing the cleaning effect of the vegetables.

[0074] The setting of the guide frame 10 can guide the water containing mud and dirt when washing vegetables, so that the mud and sand in the water are precipitated and then collected in the cleaning bucket 11, and the water in the external box 1 near the water supply pipe 253 is the clean water after precipitation, so as to be used for the circulation spraying of vegetables. The motor is turned on to drive the lifting wheel 233 to rotate. When the lifting wheel 233 rotates, it engages with the tooth groove 232 to make the L-shaped bracket 231 rise. When the L-shaped bracket 231 rises, it simultaneously drags the collecting bucket 223 to rise. The rising of the collecting bucket 223 can quickly salvage and drag out the vegetables after washing. The rotation of the lifting wheel 233 causes the L-shaped bracket 231 to When the collecting bucket 223 moves upward, the push-pull rod 215 is pushed to make the shaped block 216 support the collecting bucket 223, and the vegetables in the collecting bucket 223 can be drained for subsequent drying of the vegetables. When the spraying intensity of the nozzle 252 is adjusted, the motor 255 is turned on to drive the threaded rod 256 to rotate, and the threaded rod 256 rotates to lift the lifting frame 257. When the lifting frame 257 is lifted, the nozzle 252 is lifted and lowered through the vertical rod 258 and the connecting rod 259. When the nozzle 252 moves downward, the spiral telescopic tube 251 is stretched, so that the nozzle 252 is close to the vegetables, thereby enhancing the intensity of the spraying of the vegetables.

[0075] When the vegetables in the cleaning box 2 need to be sprayed and rinsed, first turn on the electric push rod 42 and push it up until the gear 43 on the electric push rod 42 meshes with the ring gear 41. The center tube 21 rotates and the ring gear 41 meshes with the electric push rod 42, thereby driving the electric push rod 42 to rotate. When the electric push rod 42 rotates, it synchronously drives the rotating rod 44 to rotate through the pulley and the belt. When the rotating rod 44 rotates, it drives the cam 45 to rotate. When the cam 45 rotates, the piston rod 47 is reciprocated in the suction cylinder 46 through the push-pull plate 48. When the piston rod 47 draws the gas in the suction cylinder 46 upward, the arc tube 49 transports the clean water that has been precipitated on one side of the external box 1 to the water tank 25 through the water supply pipe 253, thereby circulating the water in the water tank 25. Type of water supply, when the vegetables to be soaked and washed are repeatedly pressed, first the two mounting frames 51 are installed on the upper part of the washing box 2, and then the cylinder 52 is turned on to repeatedly extend and retract so that the pressing bucket 53 presses and cleans the vegetables floating between the two rotating frames 22, and when the pressing bucket 53 presses the vegetables in the water, the blocking piece 55 is moved out of the collecting port 54 due to the impact force. At this time, since the pressing bucket 53 presses the vegetables into the water, the impurities floating on the water surface will enter the upper part of the pressing bucket 53 through the collecting port 54, and then the pushing rod 56 moves downward under the action of the spring through the upward movement of the pressing bucket 53, so that the blocking piece 55 moves downward to block the collecting port 54, thereby completing the collection and salvage of impurities in the vegetables when the vegetables are soaked and washed.
