[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cleaning chamber is self-cleaning, the operator closes the solenoid valve, then turns on water pump one and motor one, flips the cover, and the rubber enters the cleaning chamber. The softness of the rubber allows it to contact every part of the brush roller, so that when the brush roller rotates, it effectively removes the dirt attached to itself. Then, because the solenoid valve is closed, water from multiple nozzles, powered by water pump one and mediated by water pipes, fills the cleaning chamber, assisting the brush roller in cleaning itself. The active water flow also washes the inner wall of the cleaning chamber. This effectively improves the self-cleaning effect and efficiency of the device and reduces the energy consumption of self-cleaning.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that: a separation module is provided at the bottom of the cleaning chamber, the separation module includes a screening chamber connected to the bottom of the cleaning chamber and two filter plates inserted into the screening chamber, the bottom end of the drain pipe extends into the interior of the screening chamber, and the interior of the cleaning chamber is connected to the interior of the screening chamber through the drain pipe.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: a sludge-removing module is provided at the bottom of the screening chamber. The sludge-removing module includes a horizontal plate connected to the bracket, a circular box vertically penetrating the horizontal plate, a filter screen installed inside the circular box, a toothed ring movably sleeved on the top of the circular box, an incomplete gear meshing on one side of the toothed ring, a second motor connected between the horizontal plate and the incomplete gear, a vertical plate connected to the top of the toothed ring, a guide tube installed on the inner side of the vertical plate, a grabber inserted into the guide tube, a rope connected to the grabber, a cylinder connected to the toothed ring and the rope, and a second water pump connected between the water storage tank and the circular box.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that the filter screen is funnel-shaped and the pore size on the filter screen is smaller than the pore size on the filter screen plate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a plurality of limiting rods are installed on one side of the cleaning chamber, and the plurality of limiting rods are respectively attached to the inner and outer sides of the chain.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that: multiple brush rollers are equally spaced and arranged in a U-shape, with adjacent brush rollers touching each other.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: the output shaft of the motor is a rectangular column, and a circular groove suitable for the rotation of the rectangular column is provided on the inner side of the movable door panel.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that: a plurality of nozzles are equally spaced and arranged in a row, the nozzles being located inside the cleaning chamber.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:

[0016] 1. In this invention, when the cleaning chamber is self-cleaning, the operator closes the solenoid valve, then turns on the water pump and motor, flips the cover, and the rubber enters the cleaning chamber. The softness of the rubber allows it to contact every part of the brush roller, so that when the brush roller rotates, it effectively grinds away the dirt attached to itself. Then, because the solenoid valve is closed, water from multiple nozzles, powered by the water pump and mediated by the water pipe, fills the cleaning chamber, assisting the brush roller in cleaning itself. The active water flow also washes the inner wall of the cleaning chamber. This effectively improves the self-cleaning effect and efficiency of the device and reduces the energy consumption of self-cleaning.

[0017] 2. In this invention, when cleaning vegetables, the solenoid valve is first opened, and then vegetables are put into the cleaning chamber. Then, motor one and water pump one are started simultaneously. Motor one drives the sprocket shaft connected to it to rotate. Then, under the transmission of the chain, multiple brush rollers rotate simultaneously. Then, through rolling friction, the mud and dirt on the surface of the vegetables are cleaned. During this process, water pump one draws clean water from the water storage tank. The clean water flows through the water pipe and is then sprayed out from multiple nozzles, thereby realizing the brushing function and improving the cleaning effect and efficiency of vegetables.

[0018] 3. In this invention, the sewage flowing out of the sewage pipe is first filtered by the screening chamber, and then large-volume sludge is screened out. After that, the water filtered once enters the round box, and then the filter screen performs secondary filtration of the particulate matter. During this process, the motor drives the incomplete gear to rotate. Every time the incomplete gear rotates once, the pickaxe on the vertical plate will change its position. Then, the cylinder can use the retracting rope to make the pickaxe hang the sludge at the bottom of the filter screen to the top of the filter screen, effectively preventing the filter screen from being blocked and ensuring the sewage filtration efficiency.

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0035] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0036] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of a vegetable cleaning device with a self-cleaning function provided by the present invention. Example 1:

[0037] Combination Figures 1-8As shown, the present invention provides a vegetable cleaning device with self-cleaning function, including a brushing module 100, a rinsing module 200, and a reinforcing module 300. The brushing module 100 includes a bracket 110, a cleaning chamber 120 connected to the top of the bracket 110, multiple brush rollers 130 movably installed inside the cleaning chamber 120, a sprocket shaft 140 movably passing through one side of the cleaning chamber 120 and connected to the brush rollers 130, a chain 150 connecting the multiple sprocket shafts 140, a movable door panel 160 movably installed on one side of the cleaning chamber 120, and a motor 170 connected to the movable door panel 160. The output shaft of the motor 170 is inserted into a sprocket shaft 140.

[0038] The rinsing module 200 includes a water tank 210 attached to one side of the cleaning chamber 120, a water pump 220 connected to and communicating with the water tank 210, a water pipe 230 connected to and communicating with the water pump 220, and a plurality of nozzles 240 connected to and communicating with the water pipe 230. The outer end of the water pipe 230 extends into the interior of the cleaning chamber 120.

[0039] The reinforcing module 300 includes a connector 310 installed on the rear side of the cleaning chamber 120, a cover 320 movably connected to the connector 310, a rubber 330 connected to the cover 320, a drain pipe 340 installed at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 120, and a solenoid valve 350 installed on the drain pipe 340. The rubber 330 is interference-fitted between multiple brush rollers 130.

[0040] Furthermore, a plurality of limiting rods 600 are installed on one side of the cleaning chamber 120. The plurality of limiting rods 600 are respectively attached to the inner and outer sides of the chain 150. The limiting rods 600 can guide the movement of the chain 150, prevent the chain 150 from deforming, and then separate from the sprocket shaft 140 to ensure that the plurality of brush rollers 130 can rotate continuously and stably.

[0041] Furthermore, multiple brush rollers 130 are arranged at equal intervals in a U-shape, with adjacent brush rollers 130 fitting together. This layout design ensures that the brush rollers 130 can scrub every vegetable in the cleaning chamber 120.

[0042] Furthermore, the output shaft of the motor 170 is configured as a rectangular column, and a circular groove suitable for the rotation of the rectangular column is provided on the inner side of the movable door plate 160. The rectangular column allows the motor 170 to be flexibly removed, facilitating the overall repair of the device when it is damaged.

[0043] Furthermore, multiple nozzles 240 are arranged in a row at equal intervals. The nozzles 240 are located inside the washing chamber 120. This layout design ensures that the water sprayed from the nozzles 240 can accurately rinse the vegetables inside the washing chamber 120. Example 2:

[0044] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the bottom of the cleaning chamber 120 is provided with a separation module 400. The separation module 400 includes a screening chamber 410 connected to the bottom of the cleaning chamber 120 and two filter plates 420 inserted into the screening chamber 410. The bottom end of the drain pipe 340 extends into the interior of the screening chamber 410. The interior of the cleaning chamber 120 is connected to the interior of the screening chamber 410 through the drain pipe 340. The structure inside the separation module 400 can quickly separate large-volume dirt, and the filtration operation in the screening chamber 410 can be maintained even if any one of the filter plates 420 is pulled out, thus improving user comfort. Example 3:

[0045] Combination Figure 1 , 7 and Figure 8 As shown in the above embodiment, the bottom of the screening chamber 410 is provided with a sludge removal module 500. The sludge removal module 500 includes a horizontal plate 510 connected to the bracket 110, a circular box 520 vertically penetrating the horizontal plate 510, a filter screen 530 installed inside the circular box 520, a toothed ring 540 movably sleeved on the top of the circular box 520, an incomplete gear 550 meshing with one side of the toothed ring 540, a motor 560 connecting the horizontal plate 510 and the incomplete gear 550, a vertical plate 570 connected to the top of the toothed ring 540, and a guide installed inside the vertical plate 570. The structure of the sludge removal module 500 includes a guide pipe 580, a grabber 590 inserted into the guide pipe 580, a rope 591 connected to the grabber 590, a cylinder 592 connected to the toothed ring 540 and the rope 591, and a water pump 593 connected between the water storage tank 210 and the round box 520. The bottom end of the grabber 590 is attached to the inner wall of the filter screen 530, and the rope 591 moves through the vertical plate 570 and the guide pipe 580. This structure can hang and send the sludge covering the bottom of the filter screen 530 to the top of the filter screen 530, which can prevent the bottom of the filter screen 530 from being blocked and ensure the stability of the sewage filtration operation.

[0046] Specifically, the filter screen 530 is configured in the shape of a bucket, and the pore size on the filter screen 530 is smaller than the pore size on the filter screen plate 420. This size design provides conditions for the graded treatment of pollutants in sewage.

[0047] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: When washing vegetables, first open the solenoid valve 350, then put the vegetables into the washing chamber 120, and then simultaneously start the motor 170 and the water pump 220. The motor 170 drives the sprocket shaft 140 connected to it to rotate, and then, under the transmission of the chain 150, multiple brush rollers 130 rotate simultaneously. Then, through rolling friction, the mud and dirt on the surface of the vegetables are cleaned. During this process, the water pump 220 draws clean water from the water storage tank 210 to clean the vegetables. Water flows through water pipe 230 and then sprays out from multiple nozzles 240, thereby achieving a scrubbing function and improving the cleaning effect and efficiency of vegetables. Simultaneously, the flushed wastewater enters the screening chamber 410 through drain pipe 340. Two filter plates 420 trap large objects (such as vegetable leaves), while smaller particles and water flow into the round box 520. The filter 530 then traps the particles. Finally, water pump 593 is activated, drawing secondary water from the round box 520. The filtered water improves resource utilization. During this process, motor 2 560 drives the incomplete gear 550 to rotate. Every time the incomplete gear 550 rotates, the grabber 590 on the vertical plate 570 changes position. Then, cylinder 592 retracts the rope 591, allowing the grabber 590 to hang the sludge at the bottom of the filter screen 530 to the top of the filter screen 530, effectively preventing the filter screen 530 from clogging and ensuring sewage filtration efficiency. Then, during self-cleaning, the operator closes the solenoid valve 350, and then turns on the water pump 1 220 and motor 1 170, flips the cover 320, and then the rubber 330 enters the cleaning chamber 120. The softness of the rubber 330 allows it to contact every part of the brush roller 130, so that when the brush roller 130 rotates, it effectively removes its own dirt. Then, because the solenoid valve 350 is closed, the water sprayed from multiple nozzles 240 fills the cleaning chamber 120, which effectively improves the self-cleaning effect of the brush roller 130.

[0048] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
