[0043] An efficient removal device for residues on frozen fruits and vegetables in this embodiment can efficiently and gently remove the residues on the surface of frozen fruits and vegetables by setting a rotatable flexible brush head 4 and a cleaning agent spraying device 5. By setting a conveyor belt 11, positioning rods 12, gears 14 and internal gear rings 15, not only the processing efficiency is improved, but also all sides of the fruits and vegetables can be comprehensively cleaned. By setting a drying device 17, the moisture on the surface of the fruits and vegetables can be effectively removed, improving the hygienic quality of the products. By setting a collection box 19 and a filter plate 20, the cleaning agent can be filtered and recycled, reducing the consumption of the cleaning agent, and solving the problem that the existing methods for removing residues on fruits and vegetables cannot efficiently and gently remove the residues on the surface of frozen fruits and vegetables and consume a large amount of water.

[0044] It should be noted that the protective sleeve 13 is made of soft rubber material.

[0045] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0046] When cleaning operations need to be performed on frozen fruits and vegetables, start the motor connected to the conveyor roller 10 to drive the conveyor belt 11 to operate. The conveyor belt 11 drives the positioning rods 12 and the protective sleeves 13 to operate. Place the fruits and vegetables between two adjacent protective sleeves 13, and then the fruits and vegetables are driven to move forward. Start the motor connected to the rotating shaft 3 to drive one of the rotating shafts 3 to rotate. The rotating shaft 3 realizes linkage under the action of the connecting belt 9, and then the rotating shaft 3 drives the flexible brush head 4 to rotate. Start the cleaning agent spraying device 5, and convey the cleaning agent to the cleaning agent spraying device 5 through the connecting pipe 7. Then the cleaning agent spraying device 5 evenly sprays the cleaning agent through the nozzles 6 at the bottom. When the positioning rod 12 moves with the conveyor belt 11, it can drive the gear 14 to engage with the internal gear ring 15, thereby promoting the positioning rod 12 to rotate self - sufficiently, so that the fruits and vegetables on the protective sleeve 13 can be flipped while moving. The fruits and vegetables pass through the brushing device 2 during the process of flipping and moving forward. After being sprayed with the cleaning agent and cleaned by the rotation of the flexible brush head 4, they are removed from the other end of the brushing device 2, and then are dried by the drying device 17, reducing the growth of bacteria generated during the subsequent storage in the packaging box. The cleaning agent sprayed during the operation will drip through the dripping port 18 to the collection box 19 below. The dirt in the cleaning agent will precipitate at the bottom of the collection box 19, and the cleaning agent will flow out after being filtered by the filter plate 20, which is convenient for reuse and reduces the consumption of water.

[0047] It should be noted that in this text, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "comprising an..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising said element.

[0048] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
