[0002] In the current fruit and vegetable processing industry, fruit and vegetable washing is one of the most important pre-processing steps, which directly affects the efficiency of the subsequent processing and the quality of the final product. Traditional fruit and vegetable washing equipment mostly uses a single water flow or roller brushing method. These methods often have problems such as low cleaning efficiency, incomplete cleaning, and great damage to fruits and vegetables. Especially when dealing with fruits and vegetables of different sizes and shapes, it is difficult to achieve personalized and refined cleaning, which easily leads to waste of resources and product damage.

[0003] With existing cleaning equipment, when cleaning fruits and vegetables, the fruits and vegetables are easily hit against the bottom and inner wall of the cleaning tank under the action of gravity the moment they enter the cleaning tank, causing damage to the fruits and vegetables. In addition, the spacing between the brush rollers of the cleaning equipment is not convenient to adjust and cannot be effectively adjusted according to the size of the fruits and vegetables, resulting in incomplete cleaning of small-sized fruits and vegetables, while large-sized fruits and vegetables may be damaged due to collision. Therefore, a fruit and vegetable cleaning equipment is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The utility model realizes precise adjustment of the height of the upper roller frame and the distance between the upper and lower roller frames by arranging an adjustment mechanism at the upper end of the brushing mechanism, especially the combined design of the screw rod, the hanging plate and the internal threaded sleeve. This design enables the equipment to flexibly adapt to fruits and vegetables of different diameters, reducing the cleaning dead angle or excessive wear caused by size mismatch. The rotating connection design of the internal threaded sleeve and the upper roller frame allows the angle between the upper and lower roller frames to be adjusted. This innovation not only increases the friction of the brush roller on the surface of fruits and vegetables, but also ensures efficient cleaning of the complex structure on the surface of fruits and vegetables, leaving no place for dirt to hide, and further improving the cleaning quality.

[0015] 2. The utility model adopts a soft rectangular silicone net as an anti-collision net and adds a silicone anti-collision plate on the conveyor belt.

[0024] Furthermore, the adjusting mechanism 7 includes a hanging plate 703, an internally threaded sleeve 701 and a screw rod 702. The hanging plate 703 is provided with an axial hole 7031. The screw rod 702 is installed in the axial hole 7031 and is rotatably connected to the hanging plate 703. The screw rod 702 passes through the axial hole 7031 and is inserted into the internally threaded sleeve 701 and is threadedly connected to the hanging plate 703. The internally threaded sleeve 701 is movably installed on the upper end surface of the upper roller frame 602.

[0025] By rotating the screw rod 702, the height of the upper roller frame 602 is adjusted to adjust the distance between the upper roller frame 602 and the lower roller frame 601 to adapt to fruits and vegetables with different diameters and improve the application range of the equipment.

[0026] Furthermore, a first ear plate 7011 is provided at the bottom of the internal threaded sleeve 701, and a second ear plate 6021 and a rotating shaft 6023 are provided on the top of the upper roller frame 602 to cooperate therewith. The internal threaded sleeve 701 and the upper roller frame 602 are rotatably connected through the first ear plate 7011, the second ear plate 6021 and the rotating shaft 6023.

[0027] The rotationally connected internal threaded sleeve 701 allows the angle between the upper roller frame 602 and the lower roller frame 601 to be adjusted, thereby gradually increasing the friction resistance of the brush roller 603 to achieve the best cleaning effect.

[0028] Furthermore, a hand wheel 7021 is fixedly mounted on the top of the screw rod 702 .
