Description

Technical Field

[0001] This technical solution relates to the field of fruit and vegetable cleaning devices, specifically a fruit and vegetable cleaner. Background Technology

[0002] Fruits and vegetables are common foods in people's daily lives. Before eating them, they need to be washed and dried.

[0003] Currently, there are specialized tools available on the market for cleaning fruits and vegetables, and they can even be used to clean shellfish. For example, Chinese patent CN202122820573.7 discloses a fruit and vegetable cleaning device, which includes a container for holding fruits and vegetables and cleaning liquid, a scrubber, and a drive mechanism. The scrubber includes a rotating shaft with a scrubbing part extending to the side wall of the container. After the scrubber rotates, it drives the cleaning liquid to flow, and the fruits and vegetables can pass between the scrubbing part and the wiping part, thereby being scrubbed by the scrubbing part and the wiping part.

[0004] However, it still has some shortcomings. The current scrubber can only scrub fruits and vegetables in the left and right direction, and cannot adjust and scrub them in the up and down direction. Fruits and vegetables will sink to the bottom of the container due to gravity. Due to the lack of a scrubbing mechanism that can flip them up and down, it is easy to cause incomplete cleaning. Especially when cleaning shellfish, the inability to flip them up creates blind spots in the scrubbing, making it impossible to scrub the bottom of the shellfish, thus affecting the comprehensiveness of the cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this technical solution is to provide a fruit and vegetable cleaner that, by installing a toggle device at the lower end of the brush, flips the fruits and vegetables at the bottom of the basket, thereby improving the problem that existing fruit and vegetable cleaners lack the ability to flip and clean fruits and vegetables vertically.

[0006] The purpose of this technical solution is achieved as follows:

[0007] A fruit and vegetable cleaner, comprising:

[0008] Barrel body;

[0009] The top cover fits onto the barrel body;

[0010] A net basket, which is rotatably mounted inside the bucket, is used to hold fruits and vegetables;

[0011] A brushing component, which is rotatably installed inside the basket, is used to brush and wash the fruits and vegetables inside the basket;

[0012] An actuating element is installed at the lower end of the brushing element and located at the bottom of the basket;

[0013] A drive device is mounted on the upper cover and has two output ends with opposite rotation directions for connecting and driving the mesh basket and the brush to rotate in opposite directions, respectively.

[0014] When the driving device drives the brush to rotate, the brush drives the agitator to rotate, causing the agitator to move the fruits and vegetables at the bottom of the basket, thus moving the fruits and vegetables up and down inside the basket.

[0015] Preferably, the actuating member has a connecting portion and a plurality of actuating portions, the connecting portion being connected to the lower end of the brushing member, and the plurality of actuating portions being circumferentially distributed on the side end of the connecting portion.

[0016] Preferably, the upper end of the actuating part is provided with a plurality of actuating brush bristles arranged along the length direction of the actuating part.

[0017] Preferably, the upper end of the agitator is provided with guide surfaces on both sides, the guide surfaces being used to guide the fruits and vegetables to move to the upper end of the agitator;

[0018] Alternatively, the length of the bristles of the actuating part gradually decreases from the middle to both ends along the width direction of the actuating part.

[0019] Preferably, the end of the actuating part near the connecting part has an inclined portion, which is obliquely cut toward the bottom of the basket.

[0020] Preferably, the driving device includes:

[0021] A drive shaft is rotatably disposed within the upper cover, and the lower end of the drive shaft is inserted into the upper end of the brush component. The drive shaft is used to drive the brush component to rotate; the drive shaft is provided with a toothed portion.

[0022] A driving component, which is connected to the driving shaft, is used to drive the driving shaft to rotate on the upper cover;

[0023] Gear 1 is rotatably disposed within the upper cover, and gear 1 has tooth 2 and tooth 3, wherein tooth 2 meshes with tooth 1;

[0024] Gear 2 is rotatably disposed inside the upper cover, and gear 2 has a tooth 4 that meshes with tooth 3;

[0025] A drive disc is rotatably connected to the upper cover and sleeved on the drive shaft. The drive disc rotates coaxially with the drive shaft and in the opposite direction of rotation. The drive disc covers the upper end of the net basket and is used to drive the net basket to rotate. A toothed portion five is provided in the middle of the drive disc, and the toothed portion five meshes with the toothed portion four.

[0026] When the driving component drives the driving shaft to rotate, the driving shaft causes the brush to rotate in one direction, while the driving shaft drives the driving disk to rotate in another direction through gear one and gear two, so that the brush and the basket rotate in opposite directions.

[0027] Preferably, the driving device further includes:

[0028] A speed-increasing gear is rotatably disposed within the upper cover, and the speed-increasing gear has six teeth;

[0029] The gear 2 has a toothed portion 7, which meshes with the toothed portion 6, and the number of teeth in the toothed portion 6 is greater than the number of teeth in the toothed portion 7;

[0030] The drive component is detachably connected to the drive shaft or the speed-increasing gear; when the drive component is connected to the speed-increasing gear, the drive component drives the speed-increasing gear to rotate, and the speed-increasing gear drives the drive disk to rotate, so that the drive disk drives the basket to rotate.

[0031] The brush and the actuating element are detachably installed inside the basket, and the drive shaft is detachably connected to the brush.

[0032] Preferably, the bottom of the basket is provided with a limiting protrusion, the brushing component includes a main shaft, the lower end of the main shaft has a limiting groove, and the limiting protrusion is movably placed in the limiting groove to limit the brushing component.

[0033] Preferably, the bottom of the basket is provided with a raised ring, which surrounds the outside of the limiting protrusion.

[0034] The lower end of the spindle has a plug-in portion, the end of which passes through the actuating member and is rotatably placed inside the convex ring, and the upper end of the convex ring movably abuts against the lower end of the actuating member.

[0035] Preferably, the upper cover is slidably provided with a stop;

[0036] By pressing the stop, the lower end of the stop extends out of the lower end of the upper cover and abuts against the upper end of the drive disk, thereby restricting the rotation of the drive disk.

[0037] The key and beneficial technical effects of this technical solution compared to existing technologies are:

[0038] This technical solution is designed with a toggle component installed at the lower end of the brushing component. When the brushing component rotates, it drives the toggle component to rotate synchronously, thereby agitating the fruits and vegetables at the bottom of the basket. This allows the fruits and vegetables in the basket to be turned up and down, ensuring that all kinds of fruits and vegetables, as well as shellfish, can be thoroughly brushed and washed, thus improving the cleaning effect.

[0058] The specific implementation of this technical solution will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. See also Figures 1-12 .

[0059] Example 1:

[0060] See Figures 1-3 A fruit and vegetable cleaner includes: a bucket body 1, a top cover 2, a mesh basket 3, a brush 4, a lever 5, and a drive device 6; the bucket body 1 has a receiving cavity 11; the top cover 2 is closed on the bucket body 1 to seal the receiving cavity 11; the mesh basket 3 is rotatably disposed inside the bucket body 1, that is, the mesh basket 3 is placed inside the receiving cavity 11 and can rotate within the receiving cavity 11, and the mesh basket 3 is used to hold fruits, vegetables, shellfish, and other items; the brush 4 is rotatably installed inside the mesh basket 3, and the brush 4 is used to brush the fruits, vegetables, shellfish, and other items inside the mesh basket 3; the lever 5 is installed at the lower end of the brush 4 and located at the bottom of the mesh basket 3, and the lever 5 rotates as the brush 4 rotates; the drive device 6 is installed on the top cover 2, and the drive device 6 has two output ends with opposite rotation directions, which are used to connect and drive the mesh basket 3 and the brush 4 to rotate in opposite directions, for example, when the mesh basket 3 rotates clockwise, the brush 4 rotates counterclockwise;

[0061] When the drive device 6 drives the brush 4 to rotate, the brush 4 drives the agitator 5 to rotate, causing the agitator 5 to move the fruits, vegetables, shellfish and other seafood at the bottom of the basket 3, so that the items in the basket 3 can be turned up and down, preventing the items from sinking to the bottom of the basket 3 and thus ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0062] The actuating component 5 has a connecting part 51 and several actuating parts 52. The connecting part 51 is connected to the lower end of the brushing component 4, and several actuating parts 52 are circumferentially distributed on the side end of the connecting part 51. The connecting part 51 has a ring structure and is sleeved on the lower end of the brushing component 4. The connecting part 51 and the lower end of the brushing component 4 are connected by a key or interference fit to enable the brushing component 4 to drive the actuating component 5 to rotate. In this technical solution, the lower end of the brushing component 4 has a hexagonal protrusion, and the connecting part 51 has a hexagonal hole. The hexagonal protrusion is inserted into the hexagonal hole to enable the brushing component 4 and the actuating component 5 to rotate together.

[0063] The upper end of the agitator 52 is provided with guide surfaces 53 on both sides, so that the middle of the upper end of the agitator 52 is higher than the upper ends of the agitator 52. The guide surfaces 53 are used to guide fruits and vegetables to the upper end of the agitator 52, thereby enabling the agitator 52 to move to the lower end of the fruits, vegetables or shellfish located at the bottom of the basket 3, so as to move the objects upward and ensure the cleaning effect of the objects.

[0064] The actuating part 52 has an inclined part 54 at one end near the connecting part 51. The inclined part 54 is angled towards the bottom of the basket 3, so that the end of the actuating part 52 away from the connecting part 51 can be close to the bottom of the basket 3, reducing the gap between the actuating part 52 and the bottom of the basket 3. At the same time, under the action of the inclined part 54 and centrifugal force, fruits, vegetables, shellfish and other seafood can be moved to the end of the actuating part 52 away from the connecting part 51, so that they can be washed by the end of the bristles 44 (i.e. the end of the bristles 44 away from the main shaft 41), improving the cleaning effect.

[0065] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The two output ends of the drive device 6 are a drive shaft 61 and a drive disk 65. The drive shaft 61 is rotatably installed inside the upper cover 2, and the lower end of the drive shaft 61 is inserted into the upper end of the brush 4. The drive shaft 61 is used to drive the brush 4 to rotate. The drive disk 65 is rotatably installed at the lower end of the upper cover 2, and the drive disk 65 rotates coaxially with the drive shaft 61 and in the opposite direction of rotation. The drive disk 65 is placed on the upper end of the net basket 3, and the drive disk 65 is used to drive the net basket 3 to rotate.

[0066] The drive unit 6 includes: a drive shaft 61, a drive component 62, a first gear 63, a second gear 64, and a drive disc 65. The drive shaft 61 is rotatably mounted inside the upper cover 2, and a toothed portion 611 is provided on the outer side of the upper end of the drive shaft 61. The drive component 62 can be electrically driven or manually driven. For electrically driven drives, the drive component 62 is a motor; for manually driven drives, it is a handle. In this technical solution, the drive component 62 is a handle. The lower end of the drive component 62 is connected to the upper end of the drive shaft 61 via a plug-in connection, and the connection point has a spline structure or interference fit to achieve synchronous rotation. The drive component 62 is used to drive the drive shaft 61 to move on the upper cover 2. The gear 63 is a double gear, which is rotatably mounted inside the upper cover 2. Gear 63 has a second tooth 631 and a third tooth 632, which mesh with the first tooth 611. Gear 64 is rotatably mounted inside the upper cover 2 and has a fourth tooth 641, which meshes with the third tooth 632. The drive disk 65 is rotatably mounted at the lower end of the upper cover 2 and sleeved on the drive shaft 61. The rotation axis of the drive disk 65 coincides with the rotation axis of the drive shaft 61. A fifth tooth 651 is provided in the middle of the drive disk 65, which meshes with the fourth tooth 641.

[0067] When the drive unit 62 drives the drive shaft 61 to rotate, the drive shaft 61 drives the brush 4 to rotate in one direction. At the same time, the drive shaft 61 drives the drive disk 65 to rotate in another direction through the transmission relationship of gear 1 63 and gear 2 64, so that the brush 4 and the basket 3 rotate in opposite directions.

[0068] Combination Figure 4 , Figures 8-10 The drive device 6 also includes: a speed-increasing gear 66, which is rotatably disposed inside the upper cover 2, and the speed-increasing gear 66 has a toothed portion 661; a gear 64 is a double gear, and the gear 64 has a toothed portion 642, which meshes with the toothed portion 661, and the number of teeth in the toothed portion 661 is greater than the number of teeth in the toothed portion 642; since the number of teeth in the toothed portion 661 is greater than the number of teeth in the toothed portion 642, the speed of the speed-increasing gear 66 is less than the speed of the speed of the gear 64, thereby increasing the speed of the speed-increasing rotation of the gear 64, thereby increasing the speed of the drive disc 65, and ultimately increasing the rotation speed of the basket 3, so as to achieve the dehydration operation of fruits, vegetables or shellfish in the basket 3.

[0069] The drive component 62 is detachably connected to the drive shaft 61 or the speed-increasing gear 66. Specifically, the drive shaft 61 has a connection hole 67 at its center, and the speed-increasing gear 66 has a connection hole 68 at its center. The insertion shaft 621 of the drive component 62 is inserted into the connection hole 67 of the drive shaft 61 or the connection hole 68 of the speed-increasing gear 66 by insertion and achieves synchronous rotation through a spline structure. The drive component 62 can be detached from the drive shaft 61 and the insertion shaft 621 can be inserted into the connection hole 68 of the speed-increasing gear 66. When the drive component 62 is connected to the speed-increasing gear 66, the drive component 62 drives the speed-increasing gear 66 to rotate, and the speed-increasing gear 66 drives the drive disk 65 to rotate, so that the drive disk 65 drives the basket 3 to rotate.

[0070] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 9 The brushing component 4 and the actuating component 5 are detachably installed inside the basket 3, and the drive shaft 61 is detachably connected to the brushing component 4. They can be connected or separated by external force. When the drive component 62 is connected to the speed-increasing gear 66 to achieve the dehydration rotation operation, the brushing component 4 and the actuating component 5 can be removed to facilitate dehydration.

[0071] like Figure 2 The bottom of the basket 3 is provided with a limiting protrusion 31. The brushing component 4 includes a main shaft 41. The lower end of the main shaft 41 has a limiting groove 42. The limiting protrusion 31 is movably placed in the limiting groove 42 to limit the lower end of the brushing component 4. The brushing component 4 rotates on the limiting protrusion 31 through the limiting groove 42.

[0072] The bottom of the basket 3 is provided with a raised ring 32, which surrounds the outside of the limiting protrusion 31.

[0073] The lower end of the main shaft 41 has a plug-in part 43. The actuating member 5 is sleeved on the plug-in part 43. The end of the plug-in part 43 passes through the actuating member 5 and is placed inside the convex ring 32. The plug-in part 43 can rotate relative to the convex ring 32. The upper end of the convex ring 32 moves against the lower end of the actuating member 5, thereby restricting the actuating member 5 on the brushing member 4 and ensuring the stability of the actuating member 5 installation.

[0074] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 7 The upper cover 2 has an installation groove 21, and a stop 7 is slidably disposed in the installation groove 21. The lower end of the stop 7 has a stop part 71. A spring 72 is connected between the stop 7 and the installation groove 21. The spring 72 causes the stop 7 to move toward the opening of the installation groove 21.

[0075] By overcoming the force of the spring 72, the stop 7 is pressed, causing the stop part 71 at the lower end of the stop 7 to extend out of the mounting groove of the upper cover 2 and abut against the upper end of the drive disk 65, thereby restricting the rotation of the drive disk 65. After the stop 7 is released, the stop 7 moves upward and resets under the action of the spring 72, thereby separating the stop part 71 from the drive disk 65.

[0076] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The upper cover 2 includes a bottom cover 22 and a cover plate 23. A mounting cavity 24 is formed between the bottom cover 22 and the cover plate 23. A rotatable gear 63, a gear 64, and a speed-increasing gear 66 are installed in the mounting cavity 24. The cover plate 23 is provided with a through hole 231 and a through hole 232. The through hole 231 is located above the connection hole 67 of the drive shaft 61, and the through hole 232 is located above the connection hole 68 of the speed-increasing gear 66. The bottom cover 22 is provided with a mounting hole 222. A mounting sleeve 25 is provided in the mounting hole 222. The drive shaft 61 passes through the mounting sleeve 25, and the lower end of the drive shaft 61 extends out of the mounting cavity 24 and is connected to the upper end of the brush 4 through a spline structure. The drive shaft 61 is restricted on the upper cover 2 by the mounting sleeve 25 and the cover plate 23 to prevent the drive shaft 61 from moving along its axial direction.

[0077] like Figure 7 The bottom cover 22 is provided with a boss 221, which has a mounting hole 222. The side wall of the boss 221 has a through hole 223. The tooth 651 of the drive disk 65 is placed at the lower end of the boss 221, and the tooth 651 meshes with the tooth 641 through the through hole 223. The upper end of the mounting sleeve 25 passes through the center of the tooth 651 of the drive disk 65 and is fixed to the upper edge of the mounting hole 222 by a snap ring or clamp. The lower end of the mounting sleeve 25 abuts against the lower end of the drive disk 65, so that the drive disk 65 can be rotated and installed at the lower end of the top cover 2. Both the drive disk 65 and the drive shaft 61 can rotate relative to the mounting sleeve 25.

[0078] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 The outer side of the main shaft 41 of the brushing component 4 is provided with several spirally distributed bristles 44.

[0079] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 8 The upper end of the cover 2 is provided with an opening 26, which is used to inject water into the barrel 1 or to drain water from the barrel 1.

[0080] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6The inner wall of the basket opening of the net basket 3 is provided with several circumferentially distributed rotation-limiting protrusions 33. The lower end of the drive disk 65 is provided with a protruding edge 652. Several circumferentially distributed rotation-limiting protrusions 653 are provided on the outer side of the protruding edge 652. The protruding edge 652 is inserted into the basket opening of the net basket 3. When the drive disk 65 rotates, the rotation-limiting protrusions 653 abut against the rotation-limiting protrusions 33, thereby driving the net basket 3 to rotate synchronously.

[0081] Example 2:

[0082] The design scheme of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that:

[0083] like Figure 11 The upper end face of the actuating part 52 (i.e. the end face near the bristles 44) is provided with a plurality of actuating bristles 55. The actuating bristles 55 are arranged along the length direction of the actuating part 52, that is, at least one row of actuating bristles 55 is arranged along the direction away from the connecting part 51. The actuating bristles 55 are used to brush the object on the upper end of the actuating part 5.

[0084] Example 3:

[0085] The design scheme of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, except that:

[0086] like Figure 12 The left and right directions in the figure are the width directions of the actuating part 52. The upper end of the actuating part 52 does not have guide surfaces 53 on both sides. Several rows of actuating bristles 55 are provided at the upper end of the actuating part 52. The actuating bristles 55 are arranged along the length direction of the actuating part 52, that is, several rows of actuating bristles 55 are arranged along the direction away from the connecting part 51.

[0087] The length of the actuating bristles 55 of the actuating part 52 gradually decreases from the middle to both ends in the width direction of the actuating part 52. That is, the length of the actuating bristles 55 located in the middle of the width direction of the actuating part 52 is longer than the length of the actuating bristles 55 located at both ends in the width direction of the actuating part 52. In other words, the length of the actuating bristles 55 gradually decreases from the middle to both ends in the width direction of the actuating part 52, so that the upper end of the actuating bristles 55 can form an effect similar to the guide surface 53.

[0088] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this technical solution. Those skilled in the art should understand that this technical solution is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this technical solution. Various changes and modifications can be made to this technical solution without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed technical solution.
