By turning the rocker 205, the connecting shaft 201 and the ratchet 204 can be driven to rotate synchronously.

[0033] The locking mechanism 300 includes a fixing box 301 fixedly connected to the other side of the outer surface of the fixing frame 101, a rotating disk 302 and a first bevel gear 303 are fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the fixing box 301 through a bearing, and a supporting block 304 is also fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the fixing box 301.

[0034] The rotating disk 302 is located outside the fixing box 301 , and the first bevel gear 303 is located inside the fixing box 301 .

[0035] Specifically, the carrying mechanism 100 further includes an anti-slip rubber pad 103 fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the fixing frame 101 , and a handle 104 is fixedly mounted on one side surface of the sealing cover 102 .

[0039] Example 2

[0040] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 4 , which is the second embodiment of the utility model. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides the function and operation method of the lifting mechanism 200.

[0041] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 200 further includes a fixing block 206 fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the fixing frame 101 , a spring 207 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixing block 206 , and a ratchet 208 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 207 .

[0042] The fixing block 206 is used to support the spring 207 , and the spring 207 is used to reset the pawl 208 .

[0043] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 200 also includes an articulated sleeve 209 fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the fixing frame 101, limiting grooves 210 are provided on both sides of the inner wall surface of the fixing frame 101, and limiting blocks 211 are fixedly installed on both side surfaces of the connecting plate 203.

[0044] Among them, a protrusion is fixedly installed on one side surface of the pawl 208, and the hinge sleeve 209 is used to limit the pawl 208 to prevent the pawl 208 from being offset during use. The limit block 211 is hinged in the limit groove 210. Through the cooperation between the limit block 211 and the limit groove 210, the connecting plate 203 can be limited to prevent the limit plate 203 from tipping over during lifting.

[0045] When in use, fruits and vegetables are placed on the surface of the connecting plate 203, and the rocker 205 is rotated to drive the connecting shaft 201 and the ratchet 204 to rotate synchronously. The track wound on the surface of the connecting shaft 201 is loosened by the rotation of the connecting shaft 201, so that the connecting plate 203 and the fruits and vegetables sink into the cleaning liquid inside the fixing frame 101 by their own gravity, and the ultrasonic generator K is turned on to disinfect the microorganisms on the surface of the fruits and vegetables. After the disinfecting is completed, the protrusion on the surface of the ratchet 208 is pushed downward, and while the ratchet 208 moves synchronously, Apply pressure to the spring 207, rotate the rocker 205 in the opposite direction, drive the connection shaft 201 and the pawl 208 to reverse, and drive the track 202 to tighten through the reverse rotation of the connection shaft 201, and drive the connection plate 203 and the fruits and vegetables to rise. The connection plate 203 can be limited by the cooperation of the limit block 211 and the limit groove 210, so as to prevent the limit plate 203 from tipping over when driving the fruits and vegetables to rise. When the limit plate 203 rises to a suitable height, release the rocker 205 and the protrusions on the surface of the pawl 208. Through the cooperation of the hinge sleeve 209 and the pawl 208, the pawl 208 limits the connection shaft 201 through the ratchet 204, and further the connection shaft 201 limits the connection plate 203 through the track 202, so that the liquid on the surface of the fruits and vegetables flows into the inner wall surface of the fixing frame 101 through the drainage hole opened on the surface of the connection plate 203, so that the user can centrally treat the cleaned waste water.

[0046] In summary, by setting the lifting mechanism 200, the convenience of users in taking and placing fruits and vegetables can be improved, so that the user can have a good experience in the cleaning and taking and placing processes, and can also quickly drain the washed fruits and vegetables for subsequent processing.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 , which is the third embodiment of the present utility model. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides the structure and function of a locking mechanism 300.

[0050] The support block 304 is used to support the rotating column 305 , and the rotating column 305 is used to support the second bevel gear 306 and the worm 307 . The teeth of the first bevel gear 303 are meshed with the teeth of the second bevel gear 306 .

[0051] Furthermore, the locking mechanism 300 also includes a driven shaft 308 fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall surface of the fixed box 301 through bearings, and a worm gear 309 and a transmission gear 310 are fixedly installed on the surface of the driven shaft 308.

[0052] The driven shaft 308 is used to support the worm wheel 309 to ensure that the threads of the worm 307 are meshed with the teeth of the worm wheel 309 .

[0053] Preferably, the locking mechanism 300 further comprises a limit frame 311 fixedly mounted on one side surface of the inner wall of the fixing box 301 , a rack 312 is hingedly connected to the inner surface of the limit frame 311 , and a connection block 313 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the sealing cover 102 .

[0054] A groove is formed on one side surface of the connecting block 313 .

[0055] When in use, the sealing cover 102 is closed, and the turntable 302 is rotated to drive the first bevel gear 303 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the first bevel gear 303 and the second bevel gear 306, the rotating column 305 and the worm 307 are driven to rotate synchronously, so that the worm 307 drives the driven shaft 308 and the transmission gear 310 to rotate synchronously through the worm gear 309. The rack 312 is limited by the limiting frame 311, and the rack 312 is moved linearly through the rotation of the transmission gear 310, so that one end of the rack 312 is inserted into the groove opened on the surface of one side of the connecting block 313, thereby limiting the sealing cover 102.

[0056] In summary, by setting the locking mechanism 300, it can ensure that the sealing cover 102 fits tightly when closed, preventing liquid from splashing or fruits and vegetables from popping out during the cleaning process, so as to ensure the safety of the device during use. At the same time, the easy-to-open sealing cover 102 allows the user to easily clean the inside of the device and keep the equipment hygienic and clean.
