[0006] A filter screen is arranged at the bottom of the cleaning chamber, and a separation chamber is arranged below the filter screen. Due to the strong centrifugal force of eddy current cleaning, the mud and impurities on the fruits and vegetables enter the separation chamber through the filter screen, which helps to keep the cleaning water clean.

[0007] The cleaning section includes an inlet section and a middle section. An activated carbon box is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cleaning chamber of the middle section. A water collecting box is arranged at the bottom of the activated carbon box. The water collecting box is connected to a water pump through a pipeline. The water pump is connected to each jet outlet through a pipeline. The activated carbon box uses activated carbon to absorb some impurities, which further helps to keep the cleaning water clean.

[0008] An adjusting valve is arranged on the pipeline between the water pump and the jet outlet. By adjusting the adjusting valve on the machine body, the spraying force of the jet outlet can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the centrifugal force of the vortex, so as to achieve the cleaning of vegetables of different types and different dirtiness.

[0009] The rinsing section includes an inclined conveyor belt, a toothed conveyor belt surface is provided with a rinsing spray arm is provided in the middle of the rinsing section, and the rinsing spray arm is located on the upper part of the conveyor belt. When the vegetables reach the conveyor belt after eddy current cleaning, the teeth on the conveyor belt will scoop out the vegetables, the gaps on the conveyor belt will drain the water brought out, and then the rinsing spray arm in the middle of the conveyor belt will spray and rinse the vegetables.

[0010] The rinsing spray arm is connected to clean water, and circulating water is not used. An activated carbon box is arranged at the lower part of the conveyor belt, and an outlet water collection box is arranged at the lower part of the activated carbon box, and the water after adsorption and filtration can be used as circulating water.

[0011] A vegetable collection box is arranged at the lower part of the output end of the conveyor belt, and the rinsed vegetables are transported to the vegetable collection box through the conveyor belt.

[0012] The plurality of jet ports are evenly arranged along the length direction of the cleaning section.

[0013] The beneficial effects achieved by the utility model are:

[0014] The utility model adopts a unique vortex cleaning method. In a limited cleaning space, vegetables are cleaned along a spiral path that is many times longer than a straight line. Vegetables will not float on the water surface all the time. Vegetables and water flow are in full contact, tumbling and soaking. The cleaning effect is better than ordinary bubble and water jet cleaning.

[0015] In addition, due to the strong centrifugal force of the vortex cleaning, heavy silt and impurities are continuously separated by the bottom filter separator, and due to the centrifugal force of the vortex cleaning, light dust and fine floating objects are separated by the floating overflow, which helps to keep the cleaning water clean.

[0016] The utility model adopts clean water for rinsing after eddy current cleaning, which can wash away the circulating cleaning water on the vegetables and ensure the final cleaning effect.

[0017] The utility model can be used for cleaning by connecting two or more machines in series, thereby improving the cleaning volume and cleaning efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
