[0031] Reference below Figures 1 to 5 The utility model is described as follows: a debris removal device and a dishwashing device having the same according to an embodiment of the utility model.

[0032] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the impurity removal device according to the first embodiment of the utility model includes: a conveying mechanism 100 and a flipping mechanism, the conveying mechanism 100 includes a first driving mechanism and a conveying mesh belt 110, the conveying mesh belt 110 is formed with a plurality of hollow gaps, the conveying mesh belt 110 is connected to the output end of the first driving mechanism, and can convey tableware 610 under the drive of the first driving mechanism, the upper section 111 of the conveying mesh belt 110 is formed with an uphill section 1111; the flipping mechanism is arranged above the uphill section 1111, and is used to turn over the tableware 610.

[0033] It can be understood that the impurity removal device mainly includes a conveying mechanism 100 and a flipping mechanism. The conveying mesh belt 110 in the conveying mechanism 100 is mainly driven by the first driving mechanism to realize the conveyance of the tableware 610. The conveying mesh belt 110 can be divided into an upper section 111 and a lower section 112 according to the upper and lower distribution positions. An inclined uphill section 1111 is formed in the upper section 111. The flipping mechanism is correspondingly arranged above the uphill section 1111. Therefore, when the tableware 610 is conveyed from the conveying mesh belt 110 to the uphill section 1111, it will be flipped over by the action of the flipping mechanism, so that the impurities in the tableware 610 can fall through the hollow gap of the conveying mesh belt 110, thereby facilitating the improvement of the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the tableware 610; therefore, the impurity removal device in the present application can realize the automatic flipping of the tableware 610, with a high degree of automation and good cleaning effect.

[0034] It is understandable that the rack 200 is also included, and the flipping mechanism includes a stopper assembly 310, which can abut against the outer side of the tableware 610 to drive the tableware 610 to flip over, and the stopper assembly 310 has the flexibility of upward deformation, so that the turned tableware 610 can pass between the stopper assembly 310 and the conveyor mesh belt 110. For example, Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping mechanism can be a stopper assembly 310 suspended above the uphill section 1111. The stopper assembly 310 has the elasticity to deform upward. Therefore, the stopper assembly 310 can not only resist the outer side surface of the tableware 610 rising in the uphill section 1111, thereby realizing the flipping of the tableware 610, but also the tableware 610 can resist the stopper assembly 310 to deform the stopper assembly 310, so that the tableware 610 can pass smoothly under the stopper assembly 310.

[0035] It can be understood that the stopper assembly 310 is a pressure belt, which is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 100 and fixed to the frame 200 at both ends, and the middle of the pressure belt naturally sags to form a material level between the conveying mesh belt 110. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the stopper assembly 310 is a pressure belt extending along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 100, and both ends of the pressure belt are fixed on the frame 200, and the middle part naturally hangs down, so that it has the elasticity to deform upward, so that the tableware 610 that has not been turned over can be supported by the middle part of the mesh belt and turned over when passing under the middle part of the pressure belt, and when the turned over tableware 610 passes between the pressure belt and the conveying mesh belt 110 again, it will abut against the middle part of the pressure belt and deform, so as to pass through the material level smoothly.

[0036] It should be understood that, in addition to being in the form of a pressure belt in the above-mentioned embodiment, the stop assembly 310 can also be set in the form of an elastic member, such as a silicone column, rubber column, etc. suspended above the uphill section 1111, as long as it can not only turn over the unturned tableware 610, but also can deform upward under the abutment of the turned tableware 610.

[0037] It is understandable that the turning mechanism further includes a first spray assembly 320, and the first spray assembly 320 is used to spray water to the tableware 610 so that the tableware 610 inclined at the uphill section 1111 can be turned over. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping mechanism, in addition to the elastic stop assembly 310, can also be a first spray assembly 320, which sprays water to the tableware 610 on the upward slope section 1111, so that the tableware 610 can be turned over under the action of gravity and / or water pressure after a certain amount of water is filled, thereby also achieving the effect of automatic flipping.

[0038] It should be understood that the first spray assembly 320 can be provided alone without providing the stop assembly 310, or can be provided at the same time as providing the stop assembly 310. The first spray assembly 320 can be provided in one or more groups, and the first spray assembly 320 can not only realize flipping, but also realize cleaning of the front and back sides of the tableware 610.

[0039] It can be understood that the conveyor mesh belt 110 includes a plurality of first connecting members 101 that are interconnected and spaced apart, and the first connecting member 101 is provided with a first pushing portion 1011 that protrudes from the conveying surface of the conveyor mesh belt 110 and is used to provide a thrust for enabling the tableware 610 to pass through the uphill section 1111, and the height of the first pushing portion 1011 is less than the height of the over-level. Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the conveyor mesh belt 110 includes a plurality of first connecting members 101 which are interconnected and arranged at intervals, and a plurality of hollow gaps are formed between adjacent first connecting members 101 to facilitate leakage of impurities. The first connecting member 101 is provided with a first pushing portion 1011 which is higher than the conveying surface of the conveyor mesh belt 110. Through the first pushing portion 1011, the turned tableware 610 can be moved obliquely upward along the uphill section 1111 and pass under the flipping mechanism.

[0040] Specifically, the conveyor mesh belt 110 is a chain conveyor belt with a first connecting member 101 added thereto. The first connecting member 101 connects adjacent conveyor chains and is arranged at intervals.

[0041] It can be understood that the first pushing portion 1011 is in the shape of a hook, and the hook opening of the first pushing portion 1011 faces the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 100. Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the first pushing portion 1011 is in the shape of a hook with its opening facing the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 100 . Therefore, it is convenient for the hook-shaped first pushing portion 1011 to hook the edge of the turned-over tableware 610 , thereby driving the tableware 610 to pass through the uphill section 1111 .

[0042] It is understandable that the conveyor mesh belt 110 further includes a second pusher 102, which is sequentially arranged along the width direction of the conveyor mesh belt 110 to form a second pusher assembly, which is arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the conveyor mesh belt 110 and is used to push the tray 620 supporting the tableware 610 to move. Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the conveyor mesh belt 110 also includes a second pushing component arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the conveyor mesh belt 110, and the second pushing component includes a plurality of second pushing members 102 arranged in sequence along the width direction of the conveyor mesh belt 110, so that the pallet 620 can be placed between adjacent second pushing components and can be transported under the push of the second pushing component, ensuring that the pallet 620 can successfully pass through the uphill section 1111 under the push of the second pushing component.

[0043] It can be understood that the second pusher 102 is higher than the first pusher 1011, and the upper end of the second pusher 102 is arc-shaped. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the height of the second pushing member 102 is higher than the first pushing portion 1011, so that the second pushing member 102 can push the tray 620 and the tableware 610 on the tray 620 to move together, and the upper end of the second pushing member 102 is arc-shaped. In this way, when the tableware 610 is flipped onto the second pushing member 102 by the flipping mechanism, since the upper end of the second pushing member 102 is arc-shaped, it is easy to slide down under the continued action of the flipping mechanism.

[0044] It should be understood that, in the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 100 , the distance between adjacent second pushing components is greater than the distance between adjacent first connecting members 101 , thereby improving the effect of turning over the tableware 610 .

[0045] It is understandable that a second spray assembly 410 is also included. The second spray assembly 410 is disposed between the upper section 111 and the lower section 112 of the conveyor mesh belt 110 and is disposed corresponding to the first spray assembly 320 and is used to spray water upward. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a second spray assembly 410 located below the first spray assembly 320 is further provided between the upper section 111 and the lower section 112 of the conveyor mesh belt 110, so that under the cooperation of the first spray assembly 320 and the second spray assembly 410, both the front and back sides of the tableware 610 can be better cleaned.

[0046] It is understandable that a box 210 is provided at the lower part of the rack 200, and a water circulation system 220 is provided in the box 210, and the water circulation system 220 is connected to the box 210, the first spray assembly 320 and the second spray assembly 410 respectively. Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a box body 210 is provided at the lower part of the frame 200, and the conveying mesh belt 110 of the conveying mechanism 100 is located above the box body 210. The water sprayed by the first spray component 320 and the second spray component 410 can be filtered and reused through the water circulation system 220 in the box body 210, thereby continuing to supply the first spray component 320 and the second spray component 410 for spraying.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, a partition 211 with a through hole 2111 is provided on the top of the box 210, so that the water after spraying can leak into the box 210 from the through hole 2111, and the partition 211 is used to receive impurities leaked from the conveyor mesh belt 110. A third opening 2112 is provided on one side of the partition 211, and a moving mechanism 500 is provided below the partition 211. The frame 200 is also provided with a third spray assembly 420, which can move the impurities on the partition 211 to the third opening 2112 by spraying water, so that the impurities fall onto the moving mechanism 500, and the impurities can be transported into the box 210 through the transport of the moving mechanism 500. A filter box is provided inside the box 210, and the filter box can filter water and isolate impurities outside, so that the water can be reused.

[0048] The dishwashing device according to the second embodiment of the utility model comprises the impurity removing device of the first embodiment.

[0049] It can be understood that this dishwashing equipment includes the impurity removal device in the first aspect embodiment, so it can realize automatic turning over and impurity removal, thereby improving the impurity removal and cleaning effect and saving water.

[0050] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application. In addition, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
