Detailed Embodiments

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] refer to Figures 1 to 5 A vegetable processing device includes a water tank 1, a conveying unit 2, a spraying unit 3, and a lifting unit 4. The water tank 1 is divided into a cleaning area A and a foam area B by a partition 5. The cleaning area A and the foam area B are connected through the through hole on the partition 5. The conveying unit 2 is located in the cleaning area A and is used to transport the vegetables in the cleaning area A to the outside of the water tank 1. The spraying unit 3 is located above the cleaning area A. A bubble unit 11 is also provided in the cleaning area A. The lifting unit 4 is connected to the side of the water tank 1 and corresponds to the position of the foam area B. A detachable mesh cloth 43 is provided on the output end of the lifting unit 4. The size of the mesh cloth 43 matches the size of the foam area B. The lifting unit 4 is used to drive the mesh cloth 43 to move up or down in the foam area B.

[0028] Under this design, the water tank 1 is connected to an external water circulation device. The operator needs to add water to the water tank 1 first. The water source can be added through the external water circulation device, and then the conveying unit 2, the spraying unit 3, and the bubble unit 11 are turned on. The water in the water tank 1 is rolled by the bubble unit 11. The operator adds vegetables to be washed into the water tank 1. The vegetables are transported forward under the action of the conveying unit 2. When passing through the spraying unit 3, the spraying unit 3 sprays the vegetables, and the vegetables are washed with the rolling water. The foam generated during the washing process moves from the washing area A to the foam area B under the joint action of the bubble unit 11 and the spraying unit 3, so as to avoid the foam staying in the washing area A. At the same time, the foam in the foam area B can be separated from the water source in the water tank 1 in time through the cooperation of the lifting unit 4 and the mesh 43, so that the foam can be cleaned in time.

[0029] In this embodiment, the conveying unit 2 is a mesh belt conveyor. The use of the mesh belt conveyor can facilitate the sedimentation of soil and the gas generated by the bubble unit 11 can pass through the mesh belt conveyor.

[0030] In this embodiment, the partition 5 includes plate bodies symmetrically arranged in the water tank 1, the cleaning area A is located between the symmetrically arranged plate bodies, and the area between the plate bodies and the side wall of the water tank 1 is the foam area B.

[0031] In this design, the cleaning area A is arranged in the middle of the sink 1, and the scum area B is set on both sides of the cleaning area A. Under the combined action of the bubble unit 11 and the spraying unit 3 located in the middle, the scum moves to both sides, avoiding the accumulation of scum in the cleaning area A.

[0032] Preferably, the through holes include a first hole 51 and a second hole 52. The conveying unit 2 includes a first horizontal section, an inclined section, and a second horizontal section that are connected in sequence. Part of the first horizontal section and the inclined section are located in the cleaning area A. The first hole 51 is located above the horizontal section, and the second hole 52 is located below the horizontal section. The aperture of the first hole 51 gradually decreases from the cleaning area A to the scum area B.

[0033] In actual use, the first hole 51 located above the horizontal section is mainly used to discharge the scum, while the second hole 52 located below the horizontal section is mainly used to move the sediment to the scum area B. Specifically, the discharge of the scum and the movement of the sediment are mainly driven by the bubble unit 11. Under the tumbling of the water, the movement of the scum and the sediment is driven. At the same time, the purpose of the aperture of the first hole 51 gradually decreasing from the cleaning area A to the scum area B is to facilitate the movement of the scum from the cleaning area A to the scum area B, and it is difficult for the scum in the scum area B to return to the cleaning area A.

[0034] Preferably, the spraying unit 3 includes a diverter 31 arranged on the partition 5. The diverter 31 is provided with a plurality of output pipes 32. Each output pipe 32 is provided with a plurality of nozzles 33. The plurality of output pipes 32 are arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying unit 2. The input pipe 34 of the diverter 31 is connected to an external water supply device.

[0035] Specifically, during use, the external water supply device conveys water into the diverter 31, diverts it into the conveying pipes through the diverter 31, and outputs it from the plurality of nozzles 33, spraying the water onto the vegetables located on the conveying unit 2 to wash the vegetables. Cooperating with the tumbling water generated by the bubble unit 11, the vegetables are cleaned collaboratively to ensure that the vegetables are cleaned completely and cleanly.

[0036] In this embodiment, the bubble unit 11 includes an air delivery pipe 111. The air delivery pipe 111 is located in the cleaning area A. The air delivery pipe 111 is provided with a plurality of output pipes 32. The input end of the air delivery pipe 111 is connected to an external air supply device. The air delivery pipe 111 is used to input gas into the cleaning area A to make the water in the sink 1 tumble.

[0037] Specifically, the external air supply device conveys gas into the air delivery pipe 111 and outputs it from the output end of the air delivery pipe 111, causing the water to tumble under the push of the gas. The flow and eddy current generated by the tumbling water can help remove the soil and pesticide residues on the surface of the vegetables. The impact force of the water flow is stronger, and it can better wash away the dirt attached to the surface of the vegetables.

[0038] Preferably, the lifting unit 4 includes a lifting cylinder 41 connected to the side of the water tank 1, and a connecting frame 42 connected to the power output end of the lifting cylinder 41. The mesh cloth 43 is detachably connected to the connecting frame 42.

[0039] When it is necessary to clean the floating foam, the lifting cylinder 41 drives the connecting frame 42 to rise, so that the mesh cloth 43 located below the water surface rises, lifting the floating foam on the water surface to separate the floating foam from the water. The operator only needs to replace the mesh cloth 43 on the connecting frame 42 to complete the cleaning.

[0040] Furthermore, the connecting frame 42 includes a rod body 421 and an L-shaped rod 422. A horizontally arranged connecting rod 4221 is provided on the vertical portion of the L-shaped rod 422. The rod body 421 is connected to the power output end of the lifting cylinder 41. The rod body 421 is arranged along the length direction of the water tank 1. The connecting rod 4221 is connected to one side of the rod body 421. The mesh cloth 43 is detachably connected to the horizontal portion of the L-shaped rod 422.

[0041] In actual use, because there is a height difference between the water in the water tank 1 and the lifting cylinder 41, it is necessary to use the L-shaped rod 422 for assistance. Specifically, a horizontally arranged connecting rod 4221 is provided on the vertical portion of the L-shaped rod 422. The L-shaped rod 422 is connected to the rod body 421 through the connecting rod 4221, so that the horizontal portion of the L-shaped rod 422 is lower than the power output end of the lifting cylinder 41. Therefore, in the initial state of the lifting cylinder 41, the horizontal portion of the L-shaped rod 422 and the mesh cloth 43 are both located below the water surface.

[0042] Preferably, the mesh cloth 43 is pressed tightly on the output end of the lifting unit 4 by bolts. Using bolts can facilitate the replacement of the mesh cloth 43.

[0043] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present application, several improvements or modifications can be made, and these improvements or modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
