The cleaning process requires a large amount of water and detergent, which easily causes waste and environmental pollution. At the same time, manual cleaning cannot ensure thoroughness, and may leave stains and bacteria, affecting the quality and sanitation of the popcorn. On the other hand, existing cleaning equipment is often only suitable for popcorn machines of specific sizes, with poor versatility. As the types and sizes of popcorn machines continue to increase, different cleaning equipment is needed to meet the needs, which increases the cost of enterprises and the difficulty of equipment management. Therefore, it is necessary to design a device for cleaning the inner tank of popcorn machines to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
