[0002] Leafy vegetables are fast-growing, short-stemmed vegetables suitable for dense planting, and primarily produce green leaves. These vegetables, such as spinach and celery, primarily produce leaves, stems, or shoots. They are edible and serve as a primary source of vitamin C. When processing leafy vegetables in a central kitchen, they must first be washed, then cut, and finally cooked.

[0003] With the development of technology, leafy vegetable cleaning equipment has gradually appeared on the market. It includes a cleaning tank, high-pressure nozzles arranged on opposite sides of the tank opening, and a conveying chain plate arranged in the cleaning tank, so that the leafy vegetables can be transported while being cleaned. However, as the amount of cleaning water in the cleaning tank continues to increase, some leafy vegetables will float on the liquid surface of the cleaning water, thereby affecting the cleaning effect of the leafy vegetables.

At the same time, the leafy vegetables can rotate with the cleaning drum, and it also avoids the situation where the leafy vegetables float on the surface of the cleaning water and affect the cleaning effect of the leafy vegetables.

[0008] In addition, after the leafy vegetables are cleaned using the leafy vegetable cleaning device in the present application, the cleaning water in the box can be discharged, and then the driving part can be started to rotate the cleaning cylinder, so that the water on the leafy vegetables can be dried, thereby achieving the effect of removing water from the leafy vegetables.

Preferably, refer to Figure 4 The cylinder cover 24 is provided with a gap, that is, the cylinder cover 24 can only cover a portion of the placement opening 22. On the one hand, the gap is located between the cleaning cylinders 2, forming a passage for the staff's hands to enter, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the cleaning cylinder 2. On the other hand, when the cleaning cylinder 2 rotates, the cylinder cover 24 can also rotate relative to the central axis 23 under the action of its own gravity to remain in a stationary state, thereby ensuring the covering effect of the placement opening 22. In other embodiments, the cylinder cover 24 can also be adapted to the shape of the placement opening 22.

[0068] Further, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cylinder cover 24 is provided with a support ring 241 extending into the cleaning cylinder 2 , and the outer peripheral surface of the support ring 241 abuts against the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 2 .

[0069] After the barrel cover 24 is installed in the placement opening 22, the support ring 241 extends into the cleaning barrel 2, and the support ring 241 contacts the inner wall of the cleaning barrel 2, so that the barrel cover 24 can support the cleaning barrel 2 to increase the stability of the cleaning barrel 2 when rotating, and can also increase the connection stability between the barrel cover 24 and the cleaning barrel 2 to further avoid the leafy vegetables from moving out after being placed during the process of washing the leafy vegetables.

[0070] Further, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cylinder cover 24 is provided with a support tube 242 sleeved on the central shaft 23 , and the support tube 242 is located on a side of the cylinder cover 24 close to the inside of the cleaning cylinder 2 .

[0071] The cylinder cover 24 is provided with a support tube 242 that is sleeved on the central shaft 23, thereby increasing the connection area between the cylinder cover 24 and the central shaft 23, thereby increasing the connection stability of the cylinder cover 24 and the central shaft 23, and further increasing the shielding effect of the cylinder cover 24 on the placement opening 22. In addition, it prevents the cylinder cover 24 and the central shaft 23 from deviating, which would affect the support effect of the support ring 241 on the cleaning cylinder 2, thereby further increasing the stability of the cleaning cylinder 2 during rotation.

[0072] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 The end of the cleaning cylinder 2 opposite to the placement opening 22 has a hand-holding opening 25 , and the cleaning cylinder 2 is movably connected to a closing plate 251 that can close or open the hand-holding opening 25 .

[0073] When disassembling and assembling the washing barrel 2, the staff can insert their hand into the washing barrel 2 through the hand-holding port 25. When the staff inserts their hand into the washing barrel 2, the staff's hand will apply pressure to the closing plate 251 to make the closing plate 251 and the hand-holding port 25 avoid each other, so as to ensure that the staff's hand can smoothly insert into the washing barrel 2, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the washing barrel 2, so as to further improve the cleaning efficiency of leafy vegetables; and the closing plate 251 can also block the hand-holding port 25 to prevent leafy vegetables from moving to the outside of the washing barrel 2 through the hand-holding port 25.

[0074] Better, refer to Figure 3 The closing plate 251 has a rotating end that is rotatably connected to the washing tub 2 and a free end opposite the rotating end. The free end is capable of swinging about the rotating end and is located on the side of the connecting end that is away from the central axis 23 of the washing tub 2, thereby facilitating the operator's hand insertion into the hand-holding opening 25. A reset member 252 is provided between the closing plate 251 and the washing tub 2. The reset member 252 enables the closing plate 251 to maintain the closed position of the hand-holding opening 25, thereby ensuring that the closing plate 251 effectively seals the hand-holding opening 25.

[0075] The present application does not make any specific limitation on the structure of the reset member 252. Preferably, refer to Figure 3 The reset member 252 is an elastic piece disposed inside the cleaning tub 2, one end of which contacts the closing plate 251. This means that when a worker inserts their hand into the hand-holding opening 25, the elastic piece deforms under the pressure of the hand. Once the hand is released from the hand-holding opening 25, the elastic member 253 recovers its shape, causing the closing plate 251 to close the hand-holding opening 25. In other embodiments, the reset member 252 may also be a torsion spring.

[0076] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The inner wall of the washing drum 2 is provided with a plurality of convex ribs 26, and the plurality of convex ribs 26 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the washing drum 2. Then, when the washing drum 2 rotates, the leafy vegetables in the washing drum 2 can rotate with the washing drum 2 under the action of the convex ribs 26, so as to ensure the cleaning effect of the leafy vegetables; at the same time, the convex ribs 26 can also play a blocking role for the leafy vegetables, so that the leafy vegetables can roll in the washing drum 2, so as to further improve the cleaning effect of the leafy vegetables.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A plurality of supporting legs 13 are provided at the bottom of the box body 1, and a drain pipe communicating with the interior of the box body 1 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1. A control valve is provided on the drain pipe to control the opening or closing of the drain pipe, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the discharge of the cleaning water in the box body 1.

[0078] Anything not described in this application can be achieved by adopting or drawing on existing technologies.

[0079] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0080] The foregoing is merely an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various changes and variations. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should all be included within the scope of the claims of the present application.
