Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided below is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic steel pot washing machine is described. A washing tank 1 is provided on the machine body. The washing tank 1 has an inclined front sidewall 101. A sliding plate 3 is installed on the upper part of the front sidewall 101 via a slide rail system 301. A pressure roller 4 is installed on the upper part of the sliding plate 3, and the pressure roller 4 is connected to an active motor. A first spray pipe 5 and an inner cleaning brush 6 are installed on the lower part of the sliding plate 3. Two parallel support rods 7 are provided on the lower part of the front sidewall 101 to support the steel pot from the outside. An outer cleaning brush 8 is also provided on the front sidewall 101 to contact the outer wall surface of the steel pot. The inside of the steel pot is directly fitted onto the inner cleaning brush and the first spray pipe 5. The sliding plate 3 moves down, using the support rods 7 to support the steel pot and using the pressure roller 4 to press it firmly. A second spray pipe 9 for external cleaning is also provided on the sliding plate 3 located outside the steel pot. The spray pipes are positioned so as not to directly contact the steel pot, only needing to achieve sufficient cleaning. The inner cleaning brush 6 is connected to a driven motor, which causes the inner cleaning brush to rotate actively for cleaning. In this embodiment, the outer cleaning brush adopts passive cleaning, that is, it does not rotate actively on its own, but it can rotate actively when necessary. The material of the cleaning brush can be set according to the requirements, such as steel wire bristles, coarse and hard bristles, or soft bristles.

[0030] The front wall of the cleaning tank 1 is tilted so that the panel of the cleaning tank 1 faces the operation side, with an tilt angle of 30°-45°. The tilt setting can ensure that the steel pot is also installed at an angle during cleaning, so that water will not be stored inside the steel pot.

[0031] There are two pressure rollers 4, which are arranged side by side, and the steel pot is positioned in the middle.

[0032] The pressure roller 4 and the support rod 7 are arranged in a rectangular pattern, with the pressure roller 4 located at the two upper corners and the support rod 7 located at the two lower corners. The steel pot is located between the pressure roller 4 and the support rod 7.

[0033] The support rod 7 includes a support column 701 and a passive wheel 702. The passive wheel 702 is fitted onto the support rod 7. The passive wheel 702 includes a first passive wheel 702 located in the middle of the support rod 7 and a second passive wheel 702 located at the top. Of course, the number of passive wheels 702 can be set according to the requirements. If necessary, multiple passive wheels 702 can be set. It is best to use an elastic material for the passive wheel 702 to avoid damaging the surface of the steel pot. Similarly, the surface of the pressure roller 4 is covered with rubber material to increase friction and protect the surface of the steel pot.

[0034] The second passive wheel 702 has a protruding lip 703 at its end. The lip 703 contacts the bottom of the steel pot to prevent the steel pot from axially jumping. Of course, this is only a preferred method. The lip 703 can be replaced with other similar structures, such as an additional clamping mechanism.

[0035] An eccentric wheel mechanism 10 is provided on the front side wall 101. The eccentric wheel of the drag wheel mechanism corresponds to the initial position of the sliding plate 3. A groove corresponding to the eccentric wheel is provided on the sliding plate 3. The eccentric wheel is mainly used to assist the movement of the sliding plate 3 at the initial position, so as to prevent the sliding plate 3 from being too resistant or stuck when it returns to the original position due to various reasons (such as being stuck by dirt and mud).

[0036] The first spray pipe 5 includes a main pipe 501 and a branch pipe 502. The branch pipe 502 is arranged side by side on the main pipe 501. The branch pipe 502 sprays liquid for cleaning. At the same time, the branch pipe 502 maintains a certain gap with the steel pot to limit the radial movement of the steel pot. The second spray pipe 9 has the same structure as the first spray pipe 5. The spray pipe only needs to be able to spray the liquid evenly and can thoroughly rinse the steel pot.

[0037] The lower part of the external cleaning brush 8 is configured with a conical disc 801 structure to receive the opening of the steel pot. This structure is mainly to prevent the lower end of the steel pot from contacting the machine body and causing damage during cleaning. The conical disc 801 is generally made of plastic.

[0038] The machine body is equipped with a drying chamber 2, which is arranged side by side with the cleaning tank 1. Both the cleaning tank 1 and the drying chamber 2 are equipped with protective covers. The drying chamber 2 only needs to perform the drying function. The protective covers generally require detection of closure during cleaning and drying before activation. The drying method is electric heating, with a drying temperature of 60-120 degrees Celsius and a digital temperature display. The drying station can dry 4 products simultaneously. The outer casing is wrapped with heat insulation cotton, ensuring it is not hot to the touch and includes a vent. A drain outlet is located at the bottom of the drying chamber, with excess water flowing into the cleaning and filtering tank. A timer function can be set, allowing the drying time to be set to automatically end.

[0039] Other auxiliary devices in this utility model can be easily implemented with existing technology and will not be described in detail here. For example, the control system, the storage of cleaning liquid, the preparation, the pump, the drain, etc. will not be described in detail, as long as they can achieve the specific functions and do not interfere with the operation. The heat source for drying, the exhaust and drainage will also not be described in detail.
