Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food cleaning devices, and more specifically, to a food cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, washing food requires manual labor, which is time-consuming. To free up our hands, vegetable washing machines were invented. Currently, the washing baskets in tumble vegetable washing machines on the market are detachable. When the lid is opened, the washing basket can be manually removed directly, making it easy to take out the items in the washing basket and for repair or replacement.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, when installing the washing basket into the vegetable washing machine, it is usually just placed in a simple position, which can easily cause the washing basket to shake during the washing process, thus impacting the inside of the vegetable washing machine. This not only makes abnormal noises, but also, over time, causes the vegetable washing machine to be easily damaged, greatly reducing its service life and thus reducing its practicality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem solved by this invention is that the existing washing basket, simply placed inside the vegetable washing machine, is prone to shaking during the food washing process.

[0005] To address the above problems, the present invention proposes the following technical solution:

[0006] A food cleaning device includes a body, a cleaning basket, a cleaning chamber, and a limiting component. The cleaning chamber is installed inside the body. The upper end of the cleaning chamber has an opening. The cleaning basket is used to be installed into the interior of the cleaning chamber through the opening. The two ends of the cleaning basket are respectively equipped with docking shafts.

[0007] The limiting assembly includes a limiting plate, an elastic element, a pull rope, and a limiting shaft. A limiting hole is provided through the side wall of the cleaning chamber. The elastic element is used to connect the limiting plate to the outer wall of the cleaning chamber near the limiting hole. The limiting plate is connected to the limiting shaft on the side facing the cleaning chamber. The limiting shaft is used to pass through the limiting hole and extend into the interior of the cleaning chamber. One end of the limiting shaft extending into the interior of the cleaning chamber is used to connect to the docking shaft of the cleaning basket. One end of the pull rope is used to connect to the limiting plate to pull the limiting plate toward the outer wall of the cleaning chamber.

[0008] The food cleaning device provided by this invention has, but is not limited to, the following beneficial effects compared to the prior art:

[0009] When installing the cleaning basket, first loosen the pull rope so it does not act on the limiting plate. The limiting plate, under the action of the elastic element, is located at a greater distance from the cleaning chamber. Consequently, the limiting shaft is also located at a greater distance from the central axis of the cleaning chamber. This ensures that the docking shaft is not obstructed when the cleaning basket is placed inside the cleaning chamber, facilitating the installation of the cleaning basket inside the cleaning chamber. Once the cleaning basket is in the appropriate position inside the cleaning chamber, pull the pull rope. The pull rope moves the limiting plate closer to the outer wall of the cleaning chamber, causing the limiting shaft to move towards the docking shaft within the limiting hole and connect with it. Simultaneously, the limiting shaft pushes the cleaning basket towards the end furthest from the limiting component, allowing the docking shaft at the end of the cleaning basket furthest from the limiting component to be installed in the appropriate position inside the cleaning chamber. This effectively limits the cleaning basket within the cleaning chamber. Alternatively, the docking shafts of the two limiting components can be connected to the two docking shafts of the cleaning basket respectively to achieve the same effect of limiting the cleaning basket within the cleaning chamber. The limiting plate, elastic element, pull rope, and limiting shaft work together to keep the washing basket in a suitable position within the washing chamber. The connection between the limiting shaft and the docking shaft ensures the stability of the washing basket inside the washing chamber, effectively preventing the washing basket from shaking and impacting the internal parts of the food washing device. This not only reduces noise but also reduces internal wear and tear, thus extending the service life of the food washing device and making it highly practical.

[0010] Preferably, the food washing device further includes a cover, which is hinged to the body via a hinge tube to cover the opening of the washing chamber. The end of the pull rope away from the limiting plate is connected to the hinge tube. When the cover is closed to cover the opening of the washing chamber, the pull rope is in a taut state, pulling the limiting plate toward the outer wall of the washing chamber. When the cover is opened to expose the opening of the washing chamber, the pull rope is in a relaxed state, not acting on the limiting plate.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting assembly further includes a guide portion, a fixed connection portion, and a guide wheel. The guide portion is fixed to the outer wall of the cleaning chamber. A first guide hole is provided on the limiting plate, and the guide portion is located at the first guide hole. The pull rope is used to pass through the guide portion and is slidably connected to the guide portion. The guide wheel is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning chamber. A second guide hole is provided on the limiting plate, and the guide wheel is located at the second guide hole. The pull rope is used to wrap around the guide wheel on the side near the outer wall of the cleaning chamber. The fixed connection portion is fixedly connected to the limiting plate, and the fixed connection portion is located on the side of the guide wheel away from the guide portion. The vertical distance between the fixed connection portion and the outer wall of the cleaning chamber is greater than the vertical distance between the side of the guide wheel near the cleaning chamber and the outer wall of the cleaning chamber. The portion of the pull rope connecting the guide wheel and the fixed connection portion is parallel to the axis of the limiting shaft. The pull rope passes through the guide portion, the guide wheel, and the fixed connection portion in sequence and is fixedly connected to the fixed connection portion.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting component further includes a first guide rod, which is fixed to the surface of the cleaning chamber. The limiting plate is provided with a first guide hole that matches the first guide rod, and the first guide rod passes through the first guide hole and is slidably connected to the first guide hole.

[0013] The elastic element is a spring, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the first guide rod and located between the limiting plate and the outer wall of the cleaning chamber.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting assembly further includes a second guide rod, a limiting part, and a limiting ring. The limiting part is disposed on the outer wall of the cleaning chamber. The limiting part has an inner groove inside. The outer wall of the limiting part has a limiting cylinder. The limiting cylinder is connected to the inner groove. The limiting ring is used to be installed inside the limiting cylinder.

[0015] The second guide rod is fixed to the side of the limiting plate facing the cleaning chamber, and the second guide rod is used to pass through the limiting ring and extend into the inner groove.

[0016] Preferably, the food washing device further includes a support platform, and two opposite inner walls of the washing chamber are respectively provided with connecting grooves. The support platform is located on the inner wall of the washing chamber and protrudes below the connecting grooves. The limiting hole is used to penetrate the side wall of one of the connecting grooves.

[0017] Bearings are installed on the docking shaft; when the cleaning basket is installed into the cleaning chamber, the bearings on the docking shafts at both ends of the cleaning basket are used to be installed on the support platform, and one end of the limiting shaft extending into the cleaning chamber is used to connect with the docking shaft at one end of the cleaning basket.

[0018] Preferably, the limiting component further includes a sealing ring, and a sealing cylinder is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning chamber facing the limiting hole. The sealing cylinder is connected to the connecting groove through the limiting hole. The sealing ring is used to install inside the sealing cylinder, and the sealing ring is coaxially arranged with the limiting hole. The limiting shaft passes through the sealing ring and the limiting hole into the connecting groove.

[0019] Preferably, the end face of the docking shaft is provided with a mating groove; one end of the limiting shaft extending through the limiting hole into the connecting groove is inserted into the mating groove of the docking shaft, and the limiting shaft is used to have a clearance fit with the mating groove.

[0020] Preferably, the inner wall of the cleaning chamber is provided with two guide grooves facing each other. The guide grooves extend from one end of the opening of the cleaning chamber toward the connecting groove and are connected to the connecting groove.

[0030] The embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this application, but should not be used to limit the scope of this application.

[0031] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0032] It should be noted that in the XYZ coordinate system provided in this article, the positive direction of the X-axis represents the right, and the negative direction of the X-axis represents the left; the positive direction of the Y-axis represents the front, and the negative direction of the Y-axis represents the back; the positive direction of the Z-axis represents the top, and the negative direction of the Z-axis represents the bottom. The meanings of the Z-axis, X-axis, and Y-axis are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0033] See Figures 1-6This invention provides a food cleaning device, comprising a body 1, a cleaning basket 2, a cleaning chamber 3, and a limiting component 4. The cleaning chamber 3 is installed inside the body 1, and its upper end has an opening. The cleaning basket 2 is used to be installed into the cleaning chamber 3 through the opening. Connecting shafts 21 are respectively installed at both ends of the cleaning basket 2. The limiting component 4 includes a limiting plate 41, an elastic element 42, a pull rope 43, and a limiting shaft 44. A limiting hole 31 is provided through the side wall of the cleaning chamber 3. The elastic element 42 is used to hold the cleaning basket 2 into place. A limiting plate 41 is connected to the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3 near the limiting hole 31. The limiting plate 41 is connected to the limiting shaft 44 on the side facing the cleaning chamber 3. The limiting shaft 44 is used to pass through the limiting hole 31 and extend into the interior of the cleaning chamber 3. One end of the limiting shaft 44 extending into the interior of the cleaning chamber 3 is used to connect with the docking shaft 21 of the cleaning basket 2. One end of the pull rope 43 is used to connect with the limiting plate 41 to pull the limiting plate 41 toward the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, when installing the cleaning basket 2, the pull rope 43 is first relaxed so that it does not act on the limiting plate 41. The limiting plate 41 is located at a distance from the cleaning chamber 3 due to the action of the elastic member 42. Therefore, the limiting shaft 44 is also located at a distance from the central axis of the cleaning chamber 3, so that the docking shaft 21 will not be obstructed by the limiting shaft 44 when the cleaning basket 2 is placed inside the cleaning chamber 3, so as to facilitate the installation of the cleaning basket 2 into the cleaning chamber 3. After the cleaning basket 2 is placed in a suitable position inside the cleaning chamber 3, the pull rope 43 is pulled. The pull rope 43 pulls the limiting plate 41 toward the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3, causing the limiting shaft 44 to move toward the docking shaft 21 in the limiting hole 31 and connect with the docking shaft 21. At the same time, the limiting shaft 44 pushes the cleaning basket 2 toward the end away from the limiting component 4, so that the docking shaft 21 of the cleaning basket 2 at the end away from the limiting component 4 is installed into a suitable position inside the cleaning chamber 3, thereby limiting the cleaning basket 2 inside the cleaning chamber 3. Alternatively, the docking shafts 21 of the two limiting components can be connected to the two docking shafts 21 of the cleaning basket 2 respectively to limit the cleaning basket 2 inside the cleaning chamber 3. The limiting plate 41, the elastic element 42, the pull rope 43, and the limiting shaft 44 cooperate with each other to restrict the washing basket 2 to a suitable position within the washing chamber 3. The connection between the limiting shaft 44 and the docking shaft 21 ensures the stability of the washing basket 2 inside the washing chamber 3, effectively preventing the washing basket 2 from shaking and impacting the interior of the food washing device. This not only reduces noise generation but also reduces internal wear and tear, thereby improving the service life of the food washing device and making it highly practical.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 Preferably, the food cleaning device further includes a cover 5, which is hinged to the body 1 via a hinge tube 50 to cover the opening of the cleaning chamber 3. The end of the pull rope 43 away from the limiting plate 41 is connected to the hinge tube 50. When the cover 5 is closed to cover the opening of the cleaning chamber 3, the pull rope 43 is in a taut state, pulling the limiting plate 41 toward the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3. When the cover 5 is opened to expose the opening of the cleaning chamber 3, the pull rope 43 is in a relaxed state, not acting on the limiting plate 41.

[0036] See Figures 5-6Specifically, a pull rope fixing part 430 is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3, directly below the hinge tube 50. The pull rope 43 is slidably connected to the pull rope fixing part 430, and passes through the pull rope fixing part 430 and is connected to the hinge tube 50. When the cover 5 is open, the pull rope 43 is located at the lower end of the outer wall of the hinge tube 50, and the pull rope 43 is in a relaxed state without acting on the limiting plate 41. When the cover 5 is rotated to close, the hinge tube 50 rotates, causing the connection between the pull rope 43 and the hinge tube 50 to rotate to the upper end of the hinge tube 50, thereby realizing the pulling action of the pull rope 43. At this time, the pull rope 43 is in a taut state, pulling the limiting plate 41 toward the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3.

[0037] The opening of the cleaning chamber 3 faces upward, and the cover 5 is disposed on the cleaning chamber 3, with one side of the cover 5 and one side of the opening hinged together by the hinge tube 50.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the cover 5 is opened to expose the opening of the cleaning chamber 3, the pull rope 43 is in a relaxed state that does not act on the limiting plate 41. Therefore, when installing the cleaning basket 2, opening the cover 5 will cause the pull rope 43 to be in a relaxed state that does not act on the limiting plate 41. The limiting plate 41 is located at a relatively far distance from the cleaning chamber 3 due to the action of the elastic member 42. Consequently, the limiting shaft 44 is also located at a relatively far distance inside the cleaning chamber 3, which facilitates the installation of the cleaning basket 2 into the interior of the cleaning chamber 3. When the cover 5 is closed to cover the opening of the cleaning chamber 3, the pull rope 43 is in a taut state, pulling the limiting plate 41 toward the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3. This means that when the cleaning basket 2 is placed in a suitable position in the cleaning chamber 3 and the cover 5 is closed, the pull rope 43 is in a taut state, pulling the limiting plate 41 toward the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3. The limiting shaft 44 moves with the limiting plate 41 and moves toward the docking shaft 21 within the limiting hole 31 and connects with the docking shaft 21, so as to limit the cleaning basket 2 within the cleaning chamber 3. When the washing basket 2 needs to be removed, the cover 5 is opened, causing the pull rope 43 to relax. The limiting plate 41 is reset by the elastic element 42, which in turn resets the limiting plate 41 and the limiting shaft 44, thereby releasing the connection between the limiting shaft 44 and the docking shaft 21. The washing basket 2 is then unrestricted and can be directly removed from the washing chamber 3. This structure is relatively simple. When installing the washing basket 2, simply open the cover 5 to place the washing basket 2 inside the washing chamber 3, and close the cover 5 to achieve the limiting function. The operation is simple and convenient, improving the practicality of the vegetable washing machine.

[0039] See Figure 4 Preferably, the food cleaning device further includes a support platform 32, and two opposite inner walls of the cleaning chamber 3 are respectively provided with connecting grooves 35. The support platform 32 is located on the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 3 and protrudes below the connecting grooves 35. The limiting hole 31 is used to penetrate the side wall of one of the connecting grooves 35. A bearing 22 is installed on the docking shaft 21. When the cleaning basket 2 is installed into the cleaning chamber 3, the bearings 22 on the docking shafts 21 at both ends of the cleaning basket 2 are used to be installed on the support platform 32, and one end of the limiting shaft 44 extending into the interior of the cleaning chamber 3 is used to connect with the docking shaft 21 at one end of the cleaning basket 2.

[0040] Specifically, the upper surface of the support platform 32 is flush with the lower bottom surface of the connecting groove 35.

[0041] In this embodiment, when installing the cleaning basket 2, the cover 5 is first opened, so that the pull rope 43 is in a relaxed state, and the limiting shaft 44 is located at the end of the connecting groove 35 away from the support platform 32. At this time, the cleaning basket 2 is placed into the cleaning chamber 3, so that the docking shafts 21 at both ends of the cleaning basket 2 are respectively located on the two support platforms 32 and respectively aligned with the two connecting grooves 35; then the cover 5 is closed, and the pull rope 43 is in a taut state, so as to pull the limiting plate 41 and the limiting shaft 44 toward the cleaning basket 2, thereby realizing the connection between the limiting shaft 44 and the docking shaft 21.

[0042] See Figures 3-4 Preferably, the limiting component 4 further includes a sealing ring 40, and a sealing cylinder 33 is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3 facing the limiting hole 31. The sealing cylinder 33 is connected to the connecting groove 35 through the limiting hole 31. The sealing ring 40 is used to be installed in the sealing cylinder 33, and the sealing ring 40 is coaxially arranged with the limiting hole 31. The limiting shaft 44 passes through the sealing ring 40 and the limiting hole 31 into the connecting groove 35.

[0043] Specifically, the inner diameter of the sealing ring 40 matches the diameter of the limiting shaft 44.

[0044] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 40 serves two purposes: firstly, it provides waterproofing, preventing water from flowing out from the gap between the limiting hole 31 and the limiting shaft 44 when washing food; secondly, the sealing ring 40 helps ensure the smooth movement of the limiting shaft 44.

[0045] See Figure 4Preferably, the shaft end face of the docking shaft 21 is provided with a mating groove 23; one end of the limiting shaft 44 extending through the limiting hole 31 into the connecting groove 35 is inserted into the mating groove 23 of the docking shaft 21, and the limiting shaft 44 is used to have a clearance fit with the mating groove 23.

[0046] In this embodiment, the cover 5 is closed, and the pull rope 43 pulls the limiting plate 41 and the limiting shaft 44 toward the cleaning basket 2, so that the limiting shaft 44 is inserted into the mating groove 23. The limiting shaft 44 is used to make clearance fit with the mating groove 23, which will not affect the rotation of the cleaning basket 2. The setting of the limiting shaft 44 and the mating groove 23 helps to strengthen the connection between the limiting component 4 and the docking shaft 21. Within a certain range, it also helps to limit the position of the cleaning basket 2 and prevent the cleaning basket 2 from shaking.

[0047] See Figure 3 Preferably, the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 3 is provided with two guide grooves 34 facing each other. The guide grooves 34 extend from one end of the opening of the cleaning chamber 3 toward the connecting groove 35 and are connected to the connecting groove 35. The width of the guide grooves 34 gradually decreases from one end of the opening of the cleaning chamber 3 toward the connecting groove 35.

[0048] In this embodiment, the guide groove 34 is not only designed to guide and limit movement, but also helps to quickly guide the docking shaft 21 of the cleaning basket 2 into the support platform 32 and the connecting groove 35. On the other hand, it helps to prevent the two docking shafts 21 from shifting positions within the cleaning chamber 3, which would cause the cleaning basket 2 to shake.

[0049] See Figures 2-4Preferably, the limiting component 4 further includes a guide portion 45, a fixed connection portion 46, and a guide wheel 47. The guide portion 45 is fixed to the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3. The limiting plate 41 is provided with a first guide hole 450, and the guide portion 45 is located at the first guide hole 450. The pull rope 43 is used to pass through the guide portion 45 and is slidably connected to the guide portion 45. The guide wheel 47 is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3. The limiting plate 41 is provided with a second guide hole 470, and the guide wheel 47 is located at the second guide hole 470. The pull rope 43 is used to wrap around the guide wheel 47 near the cleaning chamber 3. One side of the outer wall; the fixed connection part 46 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 41, and the fixed connection part 46 is located on the side of the guide wheel 47 away from the guide part 45. The vertical distance between the fixed connection part 46 and the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3 is greater than the vertical distance between the side of the guide wheel 47 close to the cleaning chamber 3 and the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3. The part of the pull rope 43 connected between the guide wheel 47 and the fixed connection part 46 is parallel to the axis of the limiting shaft 44. The pull rope 43 passes through the guide part 45, the guide wheel 47 and the fixed connection part 46 in sequence, and is fixedly connected to the fixed connection part 46.

[0050] Specifically, "vertical distance" refers to the distance perpendicular to the side wall of the cleaning chamber 3. The vertical distance between the fixed connection part 46 and the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3 is greater than the vertical distance between the side of the guide wheel 47 near the cleaning chamber 3 and the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3. Since the part of the pull rope 43 connected between the guide wheel 47 and the fixed connection part 46 is parallel to the axis of the limiting shaft 44, the difference between the vertical distance between the fixed connection part 46 and the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3 and the vertical distance between the side of the guide wheel 47 near the cleaning chamber 3 and the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3 is the maximum distance that the limiting plate 41 can move.

[0051] The guide part 45 is fixed to the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3 by screws. The guide part 45 is provided with a first hole. The pull rope 43 passes through the first hole and is slidably connected to the first hole. The guide wheel 47 is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3 and can rotate on the bracket. The fixed connection part 46 is fixed to the limiting plate 41 by screws. The pull rope 43 is fixedly connected to the fixed connection part 46.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first guide hole 450 and the second guide hole 470 are provided so that when the limiting plate 41 is pulled towards the cleaning chamber 3, the guide part 45 and the guide wheel 47 are exposed from the first guide hole 450 and the second guide hole 470 respectively, thereby avoiding affecting the movement of the limiting plate 41; the guide part 45 guides the movement trajectory of the pull rope 43, so that the pull rope 43 can smoothly pass through the guide wheel 47 to pull the fixed connection part 46; the guide wheel 47 The arrangement of the guide part 45 and the guide wheel 47 further guides the pull rope 43. Furthermore, the portion of the pull rope 43 connected between the guide wheel 47 and the fixed connection part 46 is parallel to the axis of the limiting shaft 44. This facilitates the pull rope 43 pulling the fixed connection part 46, along with the limiting plate 41, towards the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3. Of course, in this embodiment, parallelism is not strictly required; a certain degree of error is permissible, as long as it enables the fixed connection part 46 and the limiting plate 41 to move towards the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3. The guide part 45 and the guide wheel 47 provide guidance and a pulling point for the pull rope 43. The positional relationship between the guide wheel 47 and the fixed connection part 46 improves the stability of the pull rope 43 pulling the limiting plate 41 towards the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3, preventing the pull rope 43 from tilting when pulling the limiting plate 41.

[0053] See Figures 2-3 Preferably, the limiting component 4 further includes a first guide rod 48, which is fixed to the surface of the cleaning chamber 3. The limiting plate 41 is provided with a first guide hole that matches the first guide rod 48. The first guide rod 48 passes through the first guide hole and is slidably connected to the first guide hole. The elastic element 42 is a spring, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the first guide rod 48 and located between the limiting plate 41 and the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3.

[0054] In this embodiment, when the pull rope 43 pulls the limiting plate 41 or when the spring resets and pushes the limiting plate 41 to move, the limiting plate 41 moves along the first guide rod 48. The first guide rod 48 has a guiding function, which can effectively prevent the limiting plate 41 from shifting position when it moves, thereby helping to prevent the limiting shaft 44 from shifting position when it moves.

[0055] See Figures 2-4Preferably, the limiting component 4 further includes a second guide rod 49, a limiting part 491, and a limiting ring 492. The limiting part 491 is disposed on the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3. The interior of the limiting part 491 has an inner groove 494. The outer wall of the limiting part 491 has a limiting cylinder 493. The limiting cylinder 493 is connected to the inner groove 494. The limiting ring 492 is used to be installed inside the limiting cylinder 493. The second guide rod 49 is fixed to the side of the limiting plate 41 facing the cleaning chamber 3, and the second guide rod 49 is used to pass through the limiting ring 492 and extend into the inner groove 494.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the pull rope 43 pulls the limiting plate 41 to move, the second guide rod 49 moves inside the limiting ring 492. The second guide rod 49 is designed to maintain balance. The cooperation between the limiting shaft 44 and the sealing ring 40, and the cooperation between the second guide rod 49 and the limiting ring 492, help the limiting plate 41 maintain force balance when moving, further enhancing the stability of the limiting plate 41 during movement, and ensuring that the limiting shaft 44 remains balanced during movement without positional deviation.

[0057] Preferably, the limiting component 4 is disposed at one end of the cleaning chamber 3, and the food cleaning device further includes a driving mechanism and a rotating rod. The driving mechanism is used to drive the rotating rod to rotate, and the rotating rod is used to connect to the docking shaft 21 at the end of the cleaning basket 2 away from the limiting component 4.

[0058] Specifically, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor, a fixed part, a worm gear, a turbine, and a rotating rod. The drive motor is installed inside the body 1, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the worm gear. The fixed part is fixed to the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 3. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to the fixed part. One end of the rotating rod is connected to the turbine gear so that the turbine gear is connected to the worm gear.
