Detailed implementation manners

[0022] The following will Figures 1 - 3 further describe the present utility model in detail.

[0023] An embodiment of the present utility model discloses a fresh vegetable cleaning and disinfection device. Referring to Figures 1 - 2 , it includes a water tank 1, an ozone microbubble nozzle 2 installed at the inner bottom of the water tank 1 and used for cleaning and disinfecting fresh vegetables, and a guiding mechanism installed in the water tank 1 for guiding the washed fresh vegetables. The ozone microbubble nozzle 2 is connected to an external ozone generating device through a pipeline. The external ozone generating device is prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0024] The ozone microbubble nozzle 2 sprays ozone microbubbles. The ozone microbubbles have extremely strong oxidizing properties in an aqueous solution, can quickly oxidize pesticides, and remove pesticide residues on vegetables, thereby achieving the purpose of disinfecting vegetables. This is a disclosed technology. Moreover, the ozone microbubbles can slightly stir the water body and partially clean the surface of fresh vegetables.

[0025] Referring to Figure 2 , the guiding mechanism includes a water spray propulsion port 3 fixedly arranged at one end of the water tank 1 for pushing fresh vegetables, a drain port 31 fixedly arranged at the bottom of the other end of the water tank 1 for drainage guiding, and a guide plate 32 fixedly arranged at the inner top of the water tank 1 for guiding fresh vegetables into the water. The water spray propulsion port 3 is connected to an existing water spray pipe. The drain port 31 can direct the discharge of water in the water tank 1, thereby guiding the drainage and enabling the vegetables in the water tank 1 to move along the direction from the water spray propulsion port 3 to the drain port 31. Moreover, the drain port 31 can be connected to existing filtering equipment and water pumps. This is a disclosed technology and will not be elaborated here. The guide plate 32 can cooperate with the water flow to guide the fresh vegetables in the water tank 1 into the water, preventing the vegetables from floating to the water surface and being incompletely cleaned.

[0026] Referring to Figures 2 - 3, a partition net 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the water tank 1 and is located directly below the guide plate 32. The partition net 4 can separate the top and bottom of the water tank 1, enabling fresh vegetables to only move within the top area of the water tank 1. A blocking mechanism for delaying the movement of fresh vegetables is provided in the water tank 1. The blocking mechanism includes a number of soft sleeves 5 slidably arranged in the partition net 4 and a framework 51 fixedly arranged in the soft sleeves 5. The framework 51 can support the soft sleeves 5. The soft sleeves 5 can be made of materials such as sponge with relatively soft sheaths, so that the soft sleeves 5 will not damage the vegetables when blocking them.

[0027] Refer to Figures 1 - 2 , universal wheels are fixedly installed at the bottom edges of the water tank 1. A motor 6 is fixedly arranged at the bottom outside of the water tank 1. The universal wheels facilitate people to push the device for movement. The motor 6 can rotate forward and backward, which is prior art and will not be elaborated here. A seal can be provided at the connection between the output end of the motor 6 and the water tank 1.

[0028] Refer to Figure 2 , a threaded rod 61 is fixedly arranged at the top of the output end of the motor 6 and is located at the bottom inside of the water tank 1. A connecting plate 62 is threadedly arranged on the outer wall of the threaded rod 61 and is located directly below the partition net 4. The soft sleeves 5 and the framework 51 are both fixedly arranged on the top of the connecting plate 62. A limiting rod 64 is slidably arranged in the connecting plate 62. The bottom end of the limiting rod 64 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank 1. The limiting rod 64 can limit the connecting plate 62, enabling the connecting plate 62 to move up and down but not rotate.

[0029] After the motor 6 rotates forward and backward, it will drive the threaded rod 61 to rotate. With the limitation of the limiting rod 64, it can drive the connecting plate 62, the soft sleeves 5 and the framework 51 to move up and down. After the soft sleeves 5 and the framework 51 rise, they can block the fresh vegetables moving at the top. After the soft sleeves 5 and the framework 51 descend and retract to the bottom of the partition net 4, the vegetables can be released from the block and continue to move under the guidance of components such as the water spraying and pushing port 3. By repeating this process, the movement of the vegetables can be delayed.

[0030] Refer to Figure 2 , stirring blades 63 for stirring the water body are fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the top end of the threaded rod 61. After the threaded rod 61 rotates, it can drive the stirring blades 63 to rotate to stir the water body in the water tank 1. The stirred water body can wash the fresh vegetables in the water tank 1.

[0031] Refer to Figure 2 , a lifter 7 for taking out the fresh vegetables after cleaning and disinfection is fixedly arranged at the top of one end of the water tank 1 close to the drain port 31. The lifter 7 can lift and take out the vegetables after cleaning and disinfection from the water tank 1. The lifter 7 is existing machinery and will not be elaborated here.

[0032] The implementation principle of a fresh vegetable cleaning and disinfection device according to an embodiment of the present utility model is as follows:

[0033] When cleaning and disinfecting, people can send fresh vegetables into the pool 1 from the end of the water spraying and pushing port 3 of the pool 1. The water spraying of the water spraying and pushing port 3 in cooperation with the drainage of the drainage port 31 can make the vegetables in the pool 1 move along the direction from the water spraying and pushing port 3 to the drainage port 31. At this time, the guide plate 32 can cooperate with the water flow to guide the fresh vegetables in the pool 1 into the water body, preventing the vegetables from floating to the water surface and being incompletely cleaned;

[0034] Meanwhile, control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 6 to drive the rotation of the threaded rod 61 and the stirring blade 63. With the limitation of the limiting rod 64, it can drive the lifting movement of the connecting plate 62, the soft sleeve 5 and the skeleton 51. After the soft sleeve 5 and the skeleton 51 are lifted and lowered, the movement of the vegetables can be delayed, so as to extend the cleaning time of the vegetables in the pool 1. After the stirring blade 63 rotates, it can stir the water body in the pool 1 to clean the fresh vegetables in the pool 1;

[0035] The ozone microbubble nozzle 2 can spray ozone microbubbles. The ozone microbubbles can oxidize pesticides and remove the pesticide residues on the vegetables, thus achieving the purpose of disinfecting the vegetables. Moreover, the ozone microbubbles can slightly stir the water body to partially clean the surface of the fresh vegetables.

[0036] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features.
