Usually, a material drop opening is provided at the lower end of the silo 7, and a material conveying mechanism for conveying the material in the silo 7 to the material to be cleaned in the cleaning tank 1 is provided corresponding to the material drop opening. When conveying the material to be cleaned, the material conveying mechanism conveys the material to be cleaned one by one in sequence. Subsequent cleaning, rinsing and drying are also carried out one by one in sequence.

[0032] A cleaning rack and a cleaning head 10 are provided in the cleaning tank 1. The cleaning rack is used to place the materials to be cleaned. The cleaning head 10 is used to clean the materials. When in use, the cleaning tank 1 is filled with a cleaning agent, and the liquid level of the cleaning agent is made to submerge the cleaning rack and the materials to be cleaned on the cleaning rack. The cleaning head 10 is generally configured as a rotatable brush, and the cleaning head 10 extends into the container to be cleaned for cleaning.

[0033] The device is provided with a conveying and transferring mechanism 13, which is used to take the material out of the cleaning tank 1, rinse it in the rinsing tank 2, and then air-dry it in the air-drying position.

[0034] The present invention provides a cleaning rack in the cleaning tank 1, and the cleaning rack has a certain material conveying function. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning rack includes a fixed rack 3 and a rotating rack 5. Among them, the lower end of the fixed rack 3 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1, an inclined surface is set at the upper end of the fixed rack 3 and a fixed support plate 4 is set at the bottom end of the inclined surface; the fixed support plate 4 is parallel to the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1. The rotating rack 5 is a ratchet-like structure. Specifically, a plurality of rotating support plates 6 evenly distributed around the center are fixedly set on the surface of the rotating rack 5; one end of the rotating support plate 6 is used to dock with the fixed support plate 4, and the other end is extended to be provided with an inclined surface and the inclined surface extends to the bottom surface of the adjacent rotating support plate 6. The structure of multiple rotating support plates 6 and the inclined surface forms a structure similar to a ratchet. The rotating rack 5 is in an intermittent rotation state. Each time the rotating rack 5 moves, one of the rotating support plates 6 docks with the fixed rack 3 to form a material bracket. After docking, the upper plane of the rotating support plate 6 is consistent with the upper plane of the fixed support plate 4.

[0035] The present invention provides a silo 7 as a structure for filling materials, such as Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the silo 7 is an inverted trapezoidal structure, and a material drop opening is provided at the lower end of the silo 7. A material conveying mechanism to be cleaned is provided below the material drop opening, and the materials are sequentially discharged into the material conveying mechanism to be cleaned, and are conveyed forward by the material conveying mechanism to be cleaned. Specifically, the material conveying mechanism to be cleaned is a cylindrical rotating roller 8, and a plurality of material troughs 9 are provided on the surface of the rotating roller 8. The material trough 9 is a structure of an arc groove, and a container of material to be cleaned falls into the material trough 9, and the rotating roller 8 rotates until the container rolls down from the material trough 9, and then rolls down onto the material bracket of the cleaning tank 1.

[0036] The cleaning tank 1 is arranged on one side of the material conveying mechanism to be cleaned, and receives the container materials etc. conveyed thereto.

[0037] The present invention sets a cleaning head 10 in a cleaning tank 1. Specifically, the cleaning head 10 is a rotatable and retractable brush. First, the brush is fixedly set on the output shaft of the driving motor, and then the driving motor is fixedly installed on the moving end of the telescopic rod. The telescopic rod is vertically fixedly installed on a bracket plate in the cleaning tank 1. The entire cleaning part is located on one side of the material bracket formed by the fixed support plate 4 and the rotating support plate 6. The driving motor can be immersed in the cleaning agent and maintain normal operation.

[0038] The present invention rinses the container in the rinsing tank 2, generally using clean water to rinse off the residual cleaning agent. A plurality of rinsing nozzles 11 are arranged in the rinsing tank 2, and the water spraying ports of the rinsing nozzles 11 are arranged upward. Clean water is stored in the rinsing tank 2 and recycled, and the water is changed every once in a while.

[0039] The present invention is provided with an air drying device, specifically a plurality of blowing ports 12 and a hot air blower, the hot air blower is connected with the blowing ports 12 through a pipeline, and hot air is blown out through the blowing ports 12.
