[0023] The present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The cleaning machine of this embodiment includes a first water tank 1 and a second water tank 2 arranged adjacent to each other. The first water tank 1 defines a washing chamber of the cleaning machine. A horizontally arranged cross beam 3 is formed between the adjacent edges of the first water tank 1 and the second water tank 2. A dispenser 4 is arranged in the gap between the first water tank 1 and the second water tank 2. A feeding port 41 of the dispenser 4 is opened on the cross beam 3. A cover plate 42 capable of opening or closing the feeding port 41 is also arranged on the cross beam 3. A discharging port 43 of the dispenser 4 is communicated with the first water tank 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the dispenser 4 is arranged by using the gap between the first water tank 1 and the second water tank 2, and the feeding port 41 is arranged on the cross beam 3, making full use of the space of the cleaning machine; the feeding port 41 of the dispenser 4 is located at the side edge of the cleaning machine, and the discharging port 43 of the dispenser 4 is located at the side part of the cleaning machine. As long as the discharging port 43 is lower than the cleaning water level, it does not need to be in contact with the water column for a long time, and the discharging port 43 located on the side wall of the first water tank 1 is convenient for rapid drying during the drying process of tableware, avoiding the problem that water stains easily invade the dispenser 4.

[0026] The dispenser 4 includes a receiving bin 40 with a large upper part and a small lower part. A conveying wheel 5 capable of opening or closing its lower port is arranged at the lower port of the receiving bin 40. A discharging port 43 higher than the washing water level is opened on the side wall of the first water tank 1. A conveying channel 44 for sending powder to the discharging port 43 is connected below the lower port of the receiving bin 40. With the above structure, it is convenient to use the conveying wheel 5 to actively convey the powder and at the same time open and close the discharging port 43.

[0027] The conveying wheel 5 includes a central shaft 53, a first end cover 51 located at the first end of the central shaft 53, and a second end cover 52 located at the second end of the central shaft 53. A plurality of partition plates 54 extending radially outward from the periphery of the central shaft 53 are arranged between the first end cover 51 and the second end cover 52. A quantitative groove 55 for conveying powder is formed between adjacent partition plates 54. The conveying wheel 5 is horizontally arranged at the lower port of the receiving bin 40, and the quantitative groove 55 is alternately communicated with the receiving bin 40 and the conveying channel as it rotates. With the above structure, before each cleaning, the quantitative groove 55 can be used to receive a certain amount of powder to achieve the quantitative feeding of the powder.

[0028] A driving motor 56 for driving the conveying wheel 5 is arranged outside the accommodating bin 40. This structure facilitates the automatic feeding of the powder.

[0029] The accommodating bin 40 has a first side wall 401 arranged vertically and a second side wall 402 arranged opposite to the first side wall 401. The lower part of the second side wall 402 is inclined gradually from top to bottom towards the first side wall 401 to form a guiding surface 403, and the conveying wheel 5 is located below the guiding surface 403. With the above structure, it is convenient to guide the powder towards the lower feeding port 43 to achieve smooth feeding.

[0030] The side wall of the accommodating groove below the guiding surface 403 also forms a feeding hopper 45 that gradually contracts from top to bottom. The lower end of the feeding hopper 45 is close to the side edge of the conveying wheel 5. The setting of this structure is mainly to improve the assembly compactness at the outlet and the conveying wheel 5 to improve the quantitative feeding effect and ensure the sealing performance when the outlet is sealed.

[0031] A powder crushing mechanism 6 that can move up and down to crush the agglomerated powder is arranged in the accommodating bin 40, and the powder crushing mechanism 6 is arranged on the first side wall 401 of the accommodating bin 40. This structure crushes the agglomerated powder after long-term use and in the state of powder agglomeration for normal feeding.

[0032] The moving stroke of the powder crushing mechanism 6 corresponds to the height of the guiding surface 403. With the above structure, it is to utilize the changing structure of the cross-section at the guiding surface 403 and cooperate with the crushing mechanism to apply pressure to the powder when the crushing mechanism moves downward to improve the crushing effect.

[0033] A connecting rod 61 that can move up and down and is arranged close to the first side wall 401 is arranged outside the accommodating bin 40. A crushing assembly 62 is arranged on the side of the connecting rod 61. A relief opening 405 for the up-and-down movement of the crushing assembly 62 is opened on the first side wall 401. Outside the first side wall 401 of the accommodating bin 40, a dial wheel 63 connected to the conveying wheel 5 and rotating with it is arranged. A dial knob 631 is arranged on the outside of the dial wheel 63. A long hole 612 arranged horizontally and cooperating with the dial knob 631 is arranged at the lower end of the connecting rod 61. An annular groove 611 corresponding to the dial knob 631 is formed on the outside of the connecting rod 61. The dial knob 631 moves circumferentially in the annular groove 611 as the dial wheel 63 rotates, thereby driving the connecting rod 61 to move up and down. With the above structure, as the conveying wheel 5 rotates, the dial wheel 63 can be driven to rotate, further driving the connecting rod 61 and the crushing assembly to move up and down, thereby realizing the agitation of the powder, avoiding powder agglomeration, or crushing the already agglomerated powder.

[0034] The crushing assembly 62 includes a vertically arranged slide plate 621. On both sides of the slide plate 621, there are rotatably arranged fan plates 622 that can be closed relative to the slide plate 621 under the action of powder as the connecting rod 61 moves upward and can be unfolded relative to the slide plate 621 as the connecting rod 61 moves downward. There are at least two groups of fan plates 622 arranged at intervals up and down. The upper ends of the fan plates 622 are hinged to the slide plate 621, and opposite and through notches 623 are formed in the slide plate 621 corresponding to the upper and lower adjacent fan plates 622. With the above structure, when the crushing assembly moves upward along with the connecting rod 61, the fan plates 622 are closed relative to the slide plate 621 under the action of powder. When the crushing assembly moves downward along with the connecting rod 61, the fan plates 622 are unfolded to both sides relative to the slide plate 621 under the action of powder. As the crushing assembly moves downward, the unfolded fan plates 622 continuously press down the powder, and cooperate with the up-and-down agitation of the slide plate 621 to crush the powder and send it into the quantitative tank 55 of the conveyor wheel 5.
