[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the utility model provides a cleaning device for ice cream molds, comprising a movable water tank 1, a movable cleaning trough 2 being provided on the side of the movable water tank 1, a water pump 8 being installed on one side of the movable water tank 1, the water pump 8 being connected to a water outlet pipe 9 leading out from the lower part of the movable water tank 1, the water outlet pipe 9 being simultaneously connected to a cleaning nozzle assembly 3 in the cleaning trough 2, a water inlet pipe 6 being connected to the upper part of the movable water tank 1, a steam nozzle 11 being installed at the inner bottom of the movable water tank 1, the steam nozzle 11 being connected to the steam inlet pipe 4 on the outer side of the movable water tank 1, and a drainage channel 19 being located above the movable water tank 1 being provided at the bottom of the cleaning trough 2.

[0020] Specifically, universal wheels 16 are installed at the lower ends of the supporting feet of the movable water tank 1 and the cleaning sink 2, which facilitate the movement and positioning of the movable water tank 1 and the cleaning sink 2. The water inlet pipe 6 is connected to a unified water pipe, and the steam inlet pipe 4 is connected to a unified steam pipe, which can continuously supply clean water, disinfectant water and high-temperature steam into the movable water tank 1.

[0021] The steam nozzle 11 is used to heat the water in the movable water tank 1 , and the temperature of the water in the movable water tank 1 is controlled by controlling the input and temperature of the steam.

[0022] During cleaning, the water pump 8 can pump out the high-temperature water or disinfectant water in the movable water tank 1, enter the cleaning nozzle assembly 3 and spray it upward. At this time, the mold module 13 is located above the cleaning nozzle assembly 3, and the high-temperature water or disinfectant water sprayed into the interior of each mold to rinse the interior.

[0023] The high-temperature water or disinfectant water after flushing can flow back into the movable water tank 1 through the sewer channel 19 for recycling.

[0024] In this embodiment, in order to accurately control the temperature of the water inside the movable water tank 1, a steam control valve 5 is installed on the steam inlet pipe 4, and a water inlet valve 7 is installed on the water inlet pipe 6. The temperature and turbidity of the water can also be adjusted by adding clean water.
