Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a vegetable washing device which is easy to clean. Background Art

[0002] In modern life, people have increasingly stringent requirements for cleaning vegetables and fruits. They not only demand effective removal of surface impurities such as dirt and sand, but also expect to remove pesticide residues and kill harmful microorganisms to ensure food safety. Traditional vegetable washing methods, mostly manual, are inefficient and difficult to ensure consistent cleaning results. With the advancement of technology, vegetable washing machines have emerged, improving the efficiency and quality of vegetable washing to a certain extent.

Their complex internal structure and inaccessible components make cleaning and maintenance extremely inconvenient, allowing bacteria to grow, impacting the machine's lifespan and cleaning effectiveness. Furthermore, conventional vegetable washers offer limited capabilities for sterilization and pesticide residue removal, making them difficult to meet consumers' high food safety standards.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being “fixed to” another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is referred to as being “connected to” another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element.

[0023] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figures relative to another element or feature. It should be understood that the spatial terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation shown in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, an element described as being "below" another element or feature would be positioned "above" the other element or feature. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both above and below orientations.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this invention are intended only to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0025] The following describes the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings: The present invention provides a vegetable washing device that facilitates cleaning. Its main structure comprises a water tank 1, with multiple supports 3 evenly arranged at the bottom of the water tank 1. These supports 3 provide a stable support platform for a conveyor belt, which is placed on the supports 3. The conveyor belt plays a key role in transporting vegetables and fruits throughout the entire vegetable washing process, allowing the vegetables and fruits to pass through each washing step in sequence along a predetermined path.

[0026] A spray device is provided at one end of the conveyor belt for preliminary spray cleaning of fruits and vegetables. In order to enhance the drainage effect, the conveyor belt at the spray device is specially designed to be tilted upward. At the same time, a water pump 10 is provided on one side of the water tank 1. The water inlet pipe of the water pump 10 extends into the water inside the water tank 1, and the water outlet pipe is connected to the spray main pipe 8. A number of spray branch pipes 9 are arranged on the spray main pipe 8. These spray branch pipes 9 are located at the conveyor belt that is tilted upward, and a large number of nozzles are arranged in an orderly manner on the spray branch pipes 9. When the water pump 10 is started, the water in the water tank 1 is pumped out under pressure, passes through the spray main pipe 8 and the spray branch pipe 9, and is finally sprayed out from the nozzle, forming a fine and impactful water flow, which sprays and cleans the fruits and vegetables on the conveyor belt in all directions, effectively removing larger particles of impurities such as dirt and dust on their surface.

[0027] An air outlet pipe 5 is arranged at the bottom of the water tank 1, and a plurality of air outlets are evenly arranged on the air outlet pipe 5. The air outlet pipe 5 is connected to the air supply pipeline, and the air supply pipeline is closely connected to the air outlet of the fan 6. In particular, an ozone generator 7 is connected to the air inlet of the fan 6. When the fan 6 is running, air containing ozone enters the air outlet pipe 5 along the air supply pipeline and is discharged from the air outlet in the form of bubbles, forming a large number of ozone-rich bubbles at the bottom of the water tank 1. During the rising process, these bubbles fully come into contact with the vegetables and fruits on the conveyor belt. Utilizing the strong oxidizing properties of ozone, they can effectively kill harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses on the surface of vegetables and fruits. At the same time, they chemically react with residual pesticide molecules to decompose the pesticides into harmless small molecules, thereby achieving excellent sterilization and pesticide residue removal effects, greatly improving the edible safety of vegetables and fruits.

[0028] Furthermore, a gantry 14 is arranged on the conveyor belt. First sprockets 11 are rotatably mounted on the sidewalls of the water tank 1 at both ends of the gantry 14 via bearings. Chains 12 are mounted on the first sprockets 11, with the other ends of the chains 12 supported by second sprockets. In other words, each chain 12 is supported by a pair of first and second sprockets 11. A mounting beam is installed above the water tank 1, and the second sprocket is rotatably mounted on the mounting beam.

[0029] The two second sprockets on the same gantry 14 are connected via a rotating shaft, and either of the two second sprockets on the same gantry 14 is connected to the motor 13, allowing a single motor 13 to simultaneously drive both second sprockets. A connecting plate is provided on the gantry 14, to which the chain 12 is secured via a cover plate. The motor 13 drives the sprocket-chain 12 transmission system, which in turn drives the gantry 14 and the connected conveyor belt upward. For example, when the vegetable washing device needs to be cleaned, the motor 13 is started, and the chain 12, driven by the sprocket, begins to rotate, gradually raising the conveyor belt to a certain height, fully exposing the previously inaccessible areas at the bottom of the water tank 1 and below the conveyor belt. This allows the operator to conveniently use various cleaning tools to thoroughly and thoroughly clean these areas, completely removing accumulated dirt, residual vegetable debris, and other impurities, effectively preventing bacterial growth and odor generation. This significantly extends the service life of the vegetable washing device and ensures that good cleaning performance is maintained with each use.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein. These modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be included in the scope of the claims and description of the present invention.
