Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a cleaning machine with sterilization and pesticide residue removal effects. Background Art
[0002] With economic development and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, kitchen chores are gradually being replaced by automated equipment. Cleaning machines are devices for cleaning and purifying food ingredients, and they are appearing in more and more forms.

Although the effect of ozone sterilization and pesticide residue removal has been verified, the active oxygen generator generates ozone gas by ionizing oxygen in the air and then passes the ozone gas into the system. Since the solubility of ozone gas in water is very small, the proportion of ozone gas that can be dissolved in the system is actually very small, and most of it escapes directly from the system, which is disadvantageous to users and inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies or problems existing in the prior art, the present disclosure provides a cleaning machine with sterilization and pesticide residue removal effects, which can reduce the escape of active oxygen and improve utilization efficiency.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present disclosure to solve the above technical problems is: a cleaning machine with sterilization and pesticide residue removal effects, including a tank body, a cleaning component and a controller, wherein an active oxygen generator is provided on the tank body or the cleaning component, and the active oxygen generator is connected to the tank body or the active oxygen generator is connected to the cleaning component; the cleaning component is connected to the tank body, and the cleaning component is at least partially located below the tank body; the active oxygen generator and the cleaning component are both connected to the controller for control.
[0006] In some embodiments, the anode material of the active oxygen generator is a platinum electrode or a metal oxide (such as α and β PbO2 and titanium-based SnO2) electrode or a glassy carbon or boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode, the cathode material is a graphite or titanium electrode, and the side wall of the tank body is provided with a first mounting port, and the active oxygen generator is arranged in the first mounting port. Such a setting facilitates the cleaning of the active oxygen generator, and during the cleaning process, the active oxygen molecules are continuously released, so that the active oxygen has a higher concentration and a better sterilization effect.
[0007] In some embodiments, a second installation opening is provided at the bottom of the tank body, and the active oxygen generator is arranged in the second installation opening. Such an arrangement facilitates the removal and installation of the active oxygen generator and is convenient for cleaning the active oxygen generator.
[0008] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly is at least partially connected to the bottom of the tank, a drain is provided at the bottom of the tank, and the active oxygen generator is provided in the drain. The active oxygen generator and the drain are modular, and there is no need to provide an opening in the tank, and the risk of active oxygen leakage is also low.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the cleaning assembly includes a water inlet mechanism and a cleaning mechanism, the water inlet mechanism includes a flow meter and a water inlet valve, and the water inlet valve is connected to the flow meter through a pipeline; the cleaning mechanism is connected to the tank body.
[0010] In some embodiments, the active oxygen generator is located between the flow meter and the water inlet valve, the water inlet end of the active oxygen generator is connected to the water inlet valve, and the water outlet end of the active oxygen generator is connected to the flow meter, so that the active oxygen generator can continuously release active oxygen molecules, the active oxygen has a higher concentration, and the sterilization effect is better.

[0015] Compared with existing products, since an active oxygen generator is provided on the tank body or the cleaning component, the active oxygen generator generates active oxygen molecules by electrolyzing water. There is no need to use an air pump to press oxygen into the active oxygen generator, thus saving the space occupied by the air pump; the active oxygen molecules have unstable oxygen atoms and their electron orbits are incomplete, so they have strong oxidizing properties and can effectively kill microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. At the same time, they can also remove odors and harmful gases in the air. The passing water enters the tank body with the active oxygen.

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present disclosure, the present disclosure is described in detail, clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present disclosure and are not used to limit the present disclosure.
[0028] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of the present invention, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 to Figure 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a cleaning machine with sterilization and pesticide residue removal effects, including a tank body, a cleaning component and a controller. An active oxygen generator 1 is provided on the tank body or the cleaning component. The active oxygen generator 1 refers to a device for generating active oxygen by electrolyzing water. The active oxygen generator 1 is connected to the tank body; the cleaning component is connected to the tank body, and the cleaning component is at least partially located below the tank body; the active oxygen generator 1 and the cleaning component are both connected to the controller. When water passes through the active oxygen generator 1, the active oxygen generator 1 will generate active oxygen molecules, and there is no need to use an air pump to press oxygen into the active oxygen generator; the water passing through enters the cleaning machine with the active oxygen. In this process, the active oxygen is also better dissolved in the water to clean and sterilize fruits and vegetables. The active oxygen molecule has an unstable oxygen atom and its electron orbit is incomplete, so it has a strong oxidizing ability. The active oxygen molecule can contact with microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, destroy their cell membrane structure, and thus achieve a sterilization effect. Since the tank body is provided with an active oxygen generator 1, when water passes through the active oxygen generator 1, the active oxygen generator 1 will generate active oxygen molecules, and there is no need to use an air pump to press oxygen into the active oxygen generator, thus saving space; the passing water brings the active oxygen molecules into the tank body, and in this process, the active oxygen is also better dissolved in the water to clean the fruits and vegetables.
[0030] It should be noted that the active oxygen in the present disclosure refers to substances containing oxygen and having active properties. The active oxygen generator 1 generates ozone (O3), excited oxygen molecules or singlet oxygen molecules, superoxide anion free radicals (O 2-), hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and hydroperoxyl radicals (·HO2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and the specific substances produced are related to the coating of the electrode and the applied voltage. The anode of the active oxygen generator 1 can be selected as a titanium-based lead dioxide electrode (Ti / PbO2), a titanium-based tin dioxide electrode (Ti / SnO2), a doped titanium-based tin dioxide electrode, a titanium-based ruthenium electrode, a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode, and the cathode can be selected as an inert electrode such as graphite and titanium. If a titanium-based tin dioxide electrode (Ti / SnO2) anode and a titanium metal cathode are used, the active oxygen generator 1 will generate ozone after electrolysis when it meets water. Specifically (taking ozone as an example), when current passes through water, water molecules will be ionized and decomposed into hydroxide ions, and the oxygen ions will move to the anode, combine with the hydrogen ions in the water molecules, and generate ozone through redox reactions. In addition, the content and purity of ozone can be regulated by controlling the potential difference and current density of electrolyzed water. The active oxygen generator 1 has a layered electrode structure, with the positive and negative electrodes on different planes, or has a sheet electrode structure, with the positive and negative electrodes on the same plane, or has an arc electrode structure, with the positive and negative electrodes not on the same plane.
[0031] Please see Figure 1~Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a first mounting port is provided on the side wall of the tank body, and the active oxygen generator 1 is arranged in the first mounting port by bolts. Specifically, the tank body is provided with four side walls, and the first mounting port is provided on any side wall. Such a setting is convenient for cleaning the active oxygen generator 1, and the active oxygen molecules are continuously released during the cleaning process, so that the active oxygen has a higher concentration and a better sterilization effect. Fruits and vegetables are put into the tank body for cleaning, and the tank body can also be connected to a cleaning tank 3, which is used to clean tableware. The first mounting port is also connected to a mounting cover 2, and a clamping piece is provided on the mounting cover 2. The first mounting port is provided with a card slot. After the active oxygen generator 1 is installed in the first mounting port, the clamping piece cooperates with the card slot to assemble the mounting cover 2 in the first mounting port. A hollow portion 6 is provided on the mounting cover 2, and water enters the active oxygen generator 1 from the hollow portion 6, and the active oxygen enters the water tank from the hollow portion 6. The setting of the mounting cover 2 allows the active oxygen generator 1 to be more stably set at the first mounting port. The mounting cover 2 can also prevent large granular foreign matter from entering the position between the active oxygen generator 1 and the mounting cover 2, thereby preventing large granular foreign matter from clogging the active oxygen generator 1 and affecting the active oxygen from entering the tank body. Since the mounting cover 2 and the first mounting port are snap-connected, even if foreign matter enters, the mounting cover 2 can be easily removed to take out the foreign matter.
[0032] Preferably, a plurality of ultrasonic generators 4 and drain ports 5 are provided at the bottom of the tank body, the ultrasonic generators 4 are connected to the controller, the drain ports 5 are provided in the middle of the bottom of the tank body, and the ultrasonic generators 4 are provided at the bottom of the tank body near the edge. The ultrasonic generators 4 can work simultaneously with the active oxygen generator 1 or work alone, and the active oxygen generator 1 can also work alone. When the water in the tank body exceeds the lower edge of the first installation port, the water passes through the hollow portion 6 and contacts the active oxygen generator 1, and the active oxygen generator 1 is powered on under the control of the controller and starts to work.

The ultrasonic generator 4 and the active oxygen generator 1 can both work separately, and the two can also work at the same time, and the cleaning effect is better and higher when they work at the same time. Since the bottom of the tank body is basically always in a state of water, the active oxygen generator 1 is arranged at the bottom of the tank body, so that the active oxygen generator 1 continuously releases active oxygen molecules, so that the active oxygen has a higher concentration and a better sterilization effect. In addition, the active oxygen generator 1 is arranged at the bottom of the tank body, which is also convenient for the installation and disassembly of the active oxygen generator 1.

Water enters the active oxygen generator 1 through the filter, and the active oxygen enters the tank body from the filter. The active oxygen generator 1 is provided on the drain, and no additional space is occupied by the cleaning machine.
[0035] Preferably, a plurality of ultrasonic generators 4 are provided at the bottom of the tank body, and the ultrasonic generators 4 are connected to the controller for control.

The active oxygen generator 1 is connected to the water inlet valve, so that the active oxygen generator 1 continuously releases active oxygen molecules, so that the active oxygen has a higher concentration and a better sterilization effect.
