[0002] The sealing strips currently used in the market achieve the sealing effect by squeezing the sealing strips. However, due to the large size of the device, it is affected by the processing and assembly accuracy, or affected by the thermal expansion and contraction deformation caused by the ambient temperature change, resulting in inconsistency or even changes in the gaps that need to be sealed. Traditional sealing strips are difficult to perfectly adapt to this situation, which can easily lead to poor sealing and the risk of medium leakage, especially the leakage of some corrosive and hazardous substances, which may cause immeasurable harm to the environment and human body.

[0021] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a sealing mechanism of an embodiment of the utility model includes an inflatable sealing ring 1 and an inflation and deflation device 2, characterized in that the inflatable sealing ring 1 is connected to the inflation and deflation device 2, and the inflatable sealing ring 1 is used to be installed at the sealing part of a body 3 and a cover 4. When the opening of the body 3 is sealed by the cover 4, the inflatable sealing ring 1 is expanded and blocks the gap at the sealing part through the inflation and deflation device 2. The sealing mechanism is designed to improve the sealing performance between the body 3 and the cover 4, and specifically includes an inflatable sealing ring 1 and an inflation and deflation device 2. The sealing ring is inflatable. Compared with the traditional disposable sealing strip, the inflatable sealing ring 1 has the characteristic of being reusable. The inflation and deflation device 2 can be set to inflate or deflate the sealing ring as needed, and multiple inflation and deflation can be achieved, thereby realizing flexible control of the sealing ring.

[0024] In the example of the utility model, the inflatable sealing ring 1 is provided with an inflation and deflation nozzle 11, and the inflation and deflation nozzle 11 is connected to the inflation and deflation device 2. The design of the inflation and deflation nozzle 11 makes the inflation and deflation of the inflatable sealing ring 1 more convenient, and the sealing degree can be adjusted according to specific needs, which improves the applicability and flexibility, and can also reduce the need for manual operation, save labor costs, and improve operating efficiency.

[0025] In an example of the utility model, an inflation channel 12 and an inflation interface 13 are provided inside the inflatable sealing ring 1. The inflation interface 13 is integrally arranged with the inflation and deflation nozzle 11. Both ends of the inflation interface 13 are connected to the inflation channel 12. The inflation channel 12 runs through the entire internal space of the inflatable sealing ring 1.

[0026] The inflation channel 12 and the inflation interface 13 are both located inside the inflation sealing ring 1. The inflation interface 13 is connected to the inflation channel 12 and is used to input gas from the inflation nozzle 11 into the sealing ring. The inflation channel 12 runs through the entire internal space of the sealing ring. When filled with gas, the sealing ring can expand and provide the necessary sealing force.

[0027] In the example of the utility model, the inflation and deflation device 2 is provided with a sleeve 21, and the sleeve 21 is sleeved on the outside of the inflation and deflation nozzle 11. The sleeve 21 is sleeved on the outer wall of the inflation and deflation nozzle 11, and the sleeve is close to the outer wall of the inflation nozzle 11. The inflation and deflation device 2 using the sleeve has a simple structure, can provide stable and reliable performance during use, and reduces the complexity of operation and safety hazards.

[0028] Furthermore, the inflatable sealing ring 1 is provided with an outer plane 14 and a curved surface 15, the outer plane 14 is respectively fitted with the machine body 3 and the machine cover 4, and the curved surface 15 is connected with the outer plane 14 as a whole and is located inside the ring body of the inflatable sealing ring 1. The inflatable sealing ring 1 is provided with three planes 14 on the periphery, two of which are convenient for forming a fitted state on the embedded device, and the other plane is convenient for fitting with the external device, that is, fitting with the above-mentioned machine cover. The curved surface 15 is arranged inside the ring body of the sealing ring. When the machine cover 4 is closed, the curved surface 15 will be compressed and deformed. At this time, there is a gap between the machine cover 4 and the machine body 3. The gap can be reduced or even eliminated by inflating the curved surface 15, thereby ensuring good sealing performance.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in an example of the utility model, the food cleaning and purification device includes a sealing mechanism, a body 3 and a cover 4 as described above, and is characterized in that a cleaning chamber 31 is provided inside the body, the cover 4 is connected to the body 3 for sealing the cleaning chamber 31, and the opening of the cleaning chamber 31 faces the side wall of the body 3.

When using the device, a certain amount of water needs to be injected into the inside of the device first, and then the ultrasonic energy emitted by the ultrasonic device in the box is used to clean the food that needs to be cleaned in the box. During the cleaning process, the cover 4 is closed. At this time, since the opening is provided on the side, the sealing effect is achieved by the inflatable sealing ring 1. The inflatable sealing ring 1 is expanded by inflation to block the gap between the cover 4 and the body to form an effective seal, thereby preventing water or food from overflowing and ensuring that the surrounding environment is clean and tidy.

[0030] The inflation and release of the inflatable sealing ring 1 is controlled by the inflation and deflation device 2, which is easy to operate and the user can easily achieve a sealing effect. A cleaning chamber 31 is provided in the machine body 3, and the machine cover 4 is connected to the machine body 3 for sealing the cleaning chamber 31.
