Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, a food filling machine with a cleaning function includes a support frame 1. Above the support frame 1, there is a storage bin 2. On the left side of the storage bin 2, there is a feeder 4. Inside the storage bin 2, there is a cleaning mechanism 3. The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a fixed seat 304, a diversion pipeline 305, a water spraying groove 306, and an extension pipeline 307. At the lower end of the fixed seat 304, the diversion pipeline 305 is fixedly installed. At the lower end of the diversion pipeline 305, the extension pipeline 307 is fixedly installed. The diversion pipeline 305 and the extension pipeline 307 are both provided with water spraying grooves 306. The cleaning mechanism 3 further includes a disc slide rail 301, a displacement roller 302, a support column 303, a rotating column body 308, a support ring sleeve 309, a limiting plate 310, a support rod 311, a fixed rod 312, a docking pipe head 313, and a handle body 314. At the upper end of the storage bin 2, the disc slide rail 301 is fixedly installed. On the disc slide rail 301, there is a displacement roller 302. In the middle of the displacement roller 302, the support column 303 is installed. The fixed seat 304 is installed on the support column 303. At the right end of the support column 303, the rotating column body 308 is fixedly installed. The rotating column body 308 is located in the middle of the storage bin 2. On the outer wall of the rotating column body 308, the limiting plate 310 is fixedly installed. Outside the rotating column body 308, there is a support ring sleeve 309. On the outer wall of the support ring sleeve 309, the support rod 311 is fixedly installed. At the lower end of the support rod 311, the fixed rod 312 is fixedly installed. The fixed rod 312 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the storage bin 2. At the upper end of the fixed seat 304, the docking pipe head 313 is fixedly installed. At the left end of the fixed seat 304, the handle body 314 is fixedly installed;

[0025] The disc slide 301, the displacement roller 302, and the support column 303 together constitute the moving and supporting basis of the cleaning mechanism 3. The fixed seat 304 is used to fix and support the cleaning mechanism 3 to ensure its stability during work. The guide pipe 305 and the extension pipe 307 are used to conduct the external water source to the water spray trough 306. The water spray trough 306 is located near the inner wall of the storage bin 2 and is used to spray water to the inner wall of the storage bin 2 for cleaning. The rotating column 308, the support ring sleeve 309, the limit plate 310, the support rod 311, the fixing rod 312, and the docking joint 313 together constitute the adjustment and positioning system of the cleaning mechanism 3. The handle body 314 is used for the user to operate and rotate the cleaning mechanism 3 to achieve all-round cleaning.

[0026] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the food filling machine is additionally provided with a cleaning mechanism 3. Before using the food filling machine, the butt joint 313 needs to be connected with the external water injection pipe in advance. When using the food filling machine, the cleaning mechanism 3 is activated, and water is pressurized and injected into the butt joint 313 through the external water injection pipe. The water is conducted in the diversion pipe 305 and the extension pipe 307, and is sprayed and flushed onto the inner wall of the storage bin 2 through the water spraying groove 306, thereby cleaning the storage bin 2. At the same time, the user can rotate the cleaning mechanism 3 as a whole by holding the handle body 314, and perform an all-round cleaning operation on the storage bin 2. Subsequently, dry ice is added to the storage bin 2, and the dry ice is discharged in the storage bin 2 and the pipe below. As the water flows, its low temperature will cause the dirt, grease and other substances on the inner wall of the pipe to condense and become loose. At the same time, the flushing effect of the water flow on the inner wall of the pipe helps to remove the peeled dirt from the pipe. In summary, the cleaning mechanism 3 adopts an adjustable structure, which, together with the water pressure impact effect of the water flow, can perform all-round scrubbing and cleaning operations on the storage bin 2, thereby achieving a rapid cleaning effect. In addition, the flushing effect of the cleaning mechanism 3 can be used in conjunction with dry ice. Dry ice is injected into the storage bin 2. When the dry ice is injected into the pipe, the water flow drives the dry ice particles to flow. When the dry ice comes into contact with the dirt on the inner wall of the pipe, the temperature difference will cause the dirt to freeze, making it brittle and easy to peel off, thereby achieving a pipe cleaning effect.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
