Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food machinery, and in particular relates to an automated dish washing machine for cleaning tray-type containers. Background Technology

[0002] Tray containers are common tools in daily production and logistics, widely used across various industries. Due to their diverse usage scenarios and high frequency of use, turnover trays are highly susceptible to material residues and environmental contaminants during transportation and storage, thus requiring thorough cleaning before reuse. Currently, most cleaning is still done manually, which suffers from low cleaning efficiency, high labor costs, and difficulty in consistently guaranteeing cleaning results, failing to simultaneously meet the dual requirements of high efficiency and high hygiene standards. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention aims to provide an automated dishwashing machine with reasonable structure, good cleaning effect and high working efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: an automated dish washing machine for cleaning dish containers, comprising an integral box structure, wherein the front end of the box is opened as an inlet end for dish input, the rear end is set as an outlet end for cleaning output, a continuously conveying conveyor chain is installed at the bottom of the box, and guide components with flexibly adjustable positions are fitted on both side walls of the box, and a spray pipe assembly is integrally arranged inside the box, which is connected to a high-pressure pump through a pressure-resistant pipe.

[0005] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inner part of the housing is a clearly defined cleaning functional section. The spray nozzle assembly is centrally arranged within this cleaning section. Each spray nozzle assembly includes a main pipe and secondary pipes arranged parallel to and corresponding to the main pipe. The main pipe and secondary pipes are connected by multiple sets of connecting pipes distributed at even intervals. Multiple vertically upward-facing water spray pipes are securely installed on the upper part of each set of connecting pipes. Multiple high-pressure nozzles are detachably connected to each water spray pipe along the vertical direction, thereby forming a continuous and evenly covered cleaning area between the water spray pipes mounted on adjacent sets of connecting pipes. This continuous and uniform cleaning area ensures that the cleaning water flow can fully cover the surface of the object being cleaned, leaving no dead corners, thus improving the cleaning effect and efficiency.

[0006] Preferably, auxiliary water spray pipes are provided on the main pipe and the auxiliary pipe at positions corresponding to the cleaning area. Multiple nozzles are detachably connected to the vertical direction of the auxiliary water spray pipes by means of threads or snaps, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the number and position of the nozzles according to actual needs. The auxiliary water spray pipes on the main pipes are close to the connecting pipes in the middle, and the nozzles on them face the connecting pipes on both sides to enhance the cleaning intensity at the edge of the cleaning area and ensure the uniformity of the overall cleaning.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting pipe has three sections, forming a double-sided cleaning area. The main pipe adopts a segmented design, and the main pipe, secondary pipe, and connecting pipe are detachably connected by clamps, which facilitates the assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of the equipment, while improving the flexibility and adaptability of the structure.

[0008] Preferably, the nozzle of the spray head is obliquely arranged, and a groove structure is provided at the nozzle to form a fan-shaped surface when the spray head sprays water, thereby expanding the coverage area of ​​the water flow. The nozzles on the same side face the same direction, and the nozzles on opposite sides face opposite directions, forming a counter-current water flow, enhancing the cleaning effect and avoiding cleaning blind spots.

[0009] Preferably, the housing also includes a drying section, with the washing section located in front of the drying section. The conveyor chain and guide assembly pass through the washing section and the drying section, realizing integrated operation of washing and drying, improving work efficiency and reducing manual intervention.

[0010] Preferably, drive wheels are provided at both ends of the conveyor chain, and the conveyor chain is driven by a motor to run smoothly. Multiple U-shaped supports are evenly arranged on the conveyor chain, with the openings of the U-shaped supports facing upwards, to stably support the bottom of the tray and prevent it from shaking or shifting during the conveying process. The guide components are located on the left and right sides of the conveyor chain to support the left and right sides of the tray and ensure that the tray maintains the correct position and posture.

[0011] The guiding assembly includes multiple side stops on the left and right sides of the conveyor chain, with the left side stop located between the two right side stops. Multiple side stops are provided on each of the left and right sides of the conveyor chain, with the left side stop located between the two right side stops, forming a staggered layout to further enhance the limiting and guiding effect on the tray and prevent it from moving left or right.

[0012] Preferably, the guide assembly further includes multiple inverted U-shaped support members. The vertical support parts of the support members are located on the left and right sides of the conveyor chain. The side stops are connected to the vertical support parts. The bottom of the vertical support parts is provided with outward-curving fixing ears, which are fixed to the box foundation by bolts to ensure the stability of the support. The top of the support members is a horizontal support part, and a fixing plate is provided on the horizontal support part for installing and fixing other related components.

[0013] Preferably, the side stop includes a connecting part and a guide part. The connecting part is arranged horizontally and connected to the vertical support part by bolts or welding. The two ends of the guide part are set outward to form an opening between the ends of the left and right guide parts, which facilitates the smooth entry and passage of the plate and reduces jamming. The vertical support part is provided with multiple adjustment holes in the longitudinal direction. The connecting part is fixedly connected to the adjustment holes by bolts, which allows the height and position of the side stop to be adjusted according to actual needs, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are: reasonable structural design, good cleaning effect, convenient operation and maintenance, strong adaptability, and effective improvement of cleaning efficiency and product quality.
