Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fruit and vegetable cleaning equipment, and in particular to an environmentally friendly cleaning machine for fruits and vegetables. Background Art

[0002] Commonly used household fruit and vegetable washers use ionization to produce a small amount of hypochlorous acid, which can quickly kill bacteria and reduce pesticide residues. At the same time, a small amount of hypochlorous acid will quickly decompose and will not cause pollution.

[0003] In order to ensure that the ionized hypochlorous acid quickly and evenly contacts the fruits and vegetables, the cleaning container needs to be constantly stirred. Therefore, some fruit and vegetable washers are equipped with stirring blades. However, if the stirring blades apply too much force, the surface of the fruits and vegetables can be easily damaged. If the stirring force is too weak, the hypochlorous acid cannot be quickly and evenly distributed, and fruits and vegetables at the edges of the container cannot be effectively cleaned.

[0004] Secondly, household fruit and vegetable washers are compact and can be used by simply placing them into a washing container along with the fruits and vegetables. However, since washing fruits and vegetables is a slow process, users often do other things while waiting and may forget to wash them. Furthermore, washing containers often lack automatic drainage, so prolonged soaking can easily lead to secondary bacterial contamination of fruits and vegetables. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present application proposes an environmentally friendly cleaning machine for fruits and vegetables, which absorbs water from near the ionization component and sprays it from the side, thereby increasing the dispersion speed of newly generated hypochlorous acid and reducing the probability of damage to the surface of fruits and vegetables.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solution: an environmentally friendly fruit and vegetable washing machine, comprising a shell, an ionization component is provided on the top of the shell, a pump is provided inside the shell, the water suction port of the pump is provided at the top of the shell near the ionization component, and the outer wall of the shell is provided with multiple groups of water spray outlets, the water spray outlets are connected to the pump, and the multiple groups of water spray outlets are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the shell near the bottom.

[0007] Furthermore, a turntable seat is provided at the bottom of the shell, and the axis of the water spray port is not perpendicular to the tangent of the shell.

[0008] Furthermore, the pump is also connected to a drain outlet, and a control valve is provided between the drain outlet and the pump. The control valve closes the connection between the drain outlet and the pump when executing the cleaning procedure, and the drain outlet is connected to the drain pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer side wall of the shell is provided with a threaded groove for accommodating the drain pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, a siphon port is provided at the bottom of the shell, the shell is a two-position three-way valve, and the control valve is provided between the siphon port, the drain port and the control valve. The control valve controls the connection between the drain port and the siphon port and the connection between the drain port and the water spray chamber respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, when executing the cleaning program, the drain outlet is connected to the siphon port, and when executing the drainage program, the drain outlet is connected to the water spray chamber. After the set time T, the drain outlet and the siphon port are switched to be connected, and the pump stops running. T is enough for the drain outlet and the drain pipe to be filled with water.

[0012] Furthermore, the water spray port is a gas-liquid dual-purpose pump. After a set time T, the pump starts again, and T is sufficient for the drain port to drain all the water in the container.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a fruit and vegetable rack, which is provided with an auxiliary siphon port, which can be connected to the siphon port, and the other end of the auxiliary siphon port is at the bottom of the fruit and vegetable rack.

[0014] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0015] The present application provides an environmentally friendly fruit and vegetable cleaning machine that draws water from near the ionization element and sprays it out from the side. On the one hand, it can increase the dispersion speed of newly generated hypochlorous acid, increase the duration of hypochlorous acid's action before decomposition, and improve the cleaning rate. On the other hand, the water flow is relatively gentle while rinsing the fruits and vegetables, reducing the probability of damage to the fruit and vegetable surface.

[0016] When fruits and vegetables are forgotten after being washed, the water in the container can be drained out by siphoning without consuming extra electricity. At the same time, the air blown out by the pump can increase the drying speed of fruits and vegetables and reduce the probability of fruits and vegetables rotting. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 An environmentally friendly fruit and vegetable washing machine includes a housing 1. An ionizer 2 is provided on the top of the housing 1. A pump 9 is provided inside the housing 1. The ionizer 2 and the pump 9 can be powered by a built-in power supply or an external power supply. In this embodiment, a battery and a control module are provided inside the housing 1. The control module is installed with a predetermined program to control the working state of the ionizer 2 and the pump 9. A water suction port 5 is provided on the top of the housing 1 near the ionizer 2. The water suction port 5 is connected to the pump 9. A water suction cavity 11 is provided between the water suction port 5 and the pump 9. The water suction port 5 is provided on the edges of the ionizer 2. The water flow sucked in by the water suction port 5 is collected in the water suction chamber 11 and can also be arranged at the center of the ionization element 2. The water suction port 5 can quickly suck out the newly generated hypochlorous acid. The outer wall of the shell 1 is provided with multiple groups of water spray ports 3, which are connected to the pump. A water spray chamber 12 is provided between the water spray ports 3 and the water suction port 5. The multiple groups of water spray ports 3 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the shell 1 near the bottom. The water flow sprayed from the water spray ports 3 flows at the bottom of the container and disperses quickly, so that the hypochlorous acid quickly contacts the fruits and vegetables, increases the proportion of hypochlorous acid that actually acts, and increases the cleaning efficiency.

[0027] A turntable seat 4 is provided at the bottom of the shell 1. The axis of the water nozzle 3 is not perpendicular to the tangent of the shell 1. The angles between each water nozzle 3 and the tangent are the same. When the water nozzle 3 sprays water, there is a tangential component force. Under the action of the component force, the shell 1 rotates on the turntable seat 4. Due to the rotation of the shell 1, the position and direction of the water nozzle 3 are constantly changing, so that the water flow constantly changes its position, and the water flow can flush the fruits and vegetables more evenly.

[0028] The pump 9 is also connected to the drain outlet 7, and a control valve 10 is provided between the drain outlet 7 and the pump 9. The drain outlet 7 is connected to the drain pipe 8. One end of the drain pipe 8 is connected to the drain outlet 7, and the other end is placed outside the cleaning container. When the cleaning process is completed, the pump 9 is connected to the drain outlet 7 to discharge the water.

[0029] The outer wall of the housing 1 is provided with a threaded groove for accommodating a drain pipe 8 , and the drain pipe 8 is connected to the drain port 7 via a quick-connect plug.

[0030] A siphon port 6 is provided at the bottom of the shell 1. The shell 1 is a two-position three-way valve. The control valve 10 is provided between the siphon port 6, the drain port 7 and the control valve 10. When cleaning, the drain port 7 is connected to the siphon port 6, and no water flows out of the drain port 7. After cleaning is completed, the drain port 7 is connected to the water spray chamber 12. While the water spray port 3 is spraying water, the drain port 7 is also discharging water. After the set time T1, the drain port 7 is switched to be connected to the siphon port 6, and the pump 9 stops running. This time is enough for the drain port 7 and the drain pipe 8 to be filled with water. The other end of the drain pipe 8 is placed near the drain outlet, below the height of the bottom of the container. Under the action of the siphon, the water in the container is drained.

[0031] The water outlet 3 is a gas-liquid dual-purpose pump. After the set time T2, the pump 9 starts again. T2 is enough for the drain outlet 7 to drain the water in the container. The water outlet 3 blows out air flow to increase the drying speed of fruits and vegetables. A sensor can also be set to detect the water level to trigger the pump 9 to start again.

[0032] See also Figure 4 , and also includes a fruit and vegetable rack 13, which is provided with an auxiliary siphon port 14, which can be connected to the siphon port 6. The shell 1 can be placed on the fruit and vegetable rack 13, and the other end of the auxiliary siphon port 14 is at the bottom of the fruit and vegetable rack 13. The auxiliary siphon port 14 makes the water level lower than the fruit and vegetable rack 13, and the fruits and vegetables on the fruit and vegetable rack 13 are drained to prevent the fruits and vegetables at the bottom from being soaked in water.

[0033] During use, the cleaning machine and fruits and vegetables are placed together in the cleaning container, with the cleaning machine placed in the middle of the container. The ionization element 2 ionizes to generate hypochlorous acid, and the water suction port 5 absorbs the newly generated hypochlorous acid and sprays it out from the water spray port 3. On the one hand, the jet can directly contact the fruits and vegetables, and on the other hand, it can quickly and evenly distribute the hypochlorous acid. When the cleaning program is completed, the pump 9 is started again, and the water spray chamber 12 is connected to the drain port 7, so that the drain port 7 is gradually filled with water. After the set time T1, the pump 9 is turned off, and the siphon port 6 is connected to the drain port 7. Under the action of the siphon, the water in the container is drained. After the water is drained, the pump 9 is started again to increase the drying speed of the fruits and vegetables.
