[0019] 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.

[0020] 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.

[0021] 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.

[0022] 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.

[0023] The utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings: The utility model is a convenient cleaning vegetable washing machine, which is mainly composed of a water tank 1. The water tank 1 serves as the main structure of the entire vegetable washing machine and is responsible for accommodating cleaning water and various cleaning components.

[0024] Inside the water tank 1, a conveyor belt 2 is installed to transport fruits and vegetables to be cleaned. Several parallel connecting rods 3 are hingedly connected to the bottom of the conveyor belt 2. The other ends of these connecting rods 3 are hinged to the bottom of the water tank 1. This connection between the connecting rods 3 and the conveyor belt 2 allows the conveyor belt 2 to be raised and lowered. Cylinders 4 are hingedly connected to either side of the water tank 1, with their piston rods hinged to the sidewalls of the conveyor belt 2. When the cylinders 4 extend and retract, the conveyor belt 2 is raised or lowered in coordination with the connecting rods 3. For example, to clean the interior of the water tank 1, the cylinders 4 are activated, extending their piston rods. Supported by the connecting rods 3, the conveyor belt 2 gradually rises, increasing the space between the bottom of the water tank 1 and the bottom of the conveyor belt 2. This allows the operator to use cleaning tools to thoroughly clean the area, removing dirt and impurities. This effectively prevents bacterial growth and incomplete cleaning caused by blind spots.

[0025] A spray device is provided at one end of the conveyor belt 2 for the final water-spray cleaning of the fruits and vegetables on the conveyor belt 2. To improve the drainage effect, the conveyor belt 2 at the spray device is tilted upward. A water pump 5 is installed on one side of the water tank 1. The water inlet pipe of the water pump 5 extends into the water inside the water tank 1, and its outlet pipe is connected to the spray main pipe 6. A plurality of spray branch pipes 7 are arranged on the spray main pipe 6. These spray branch pipes 7 are located at the upward-tilted conveyor belt 2, and nozzles are evenly arranged on the spray branch pipes 7. When the water pump 5 is started, the water in the water tank 1 is pumped out and sprayed out through the nozzles on the spray main pipe 6 and the spray branch pipes 7, forming a fine water stream that sprays and cleans the fruits and vegetables in all directions.

[0026] An air outlet pipe 9 is arranged at the bottom of the water tank 1, with several air outlets formed in it. The air outlet pipe 9 is connected to an air supply line 8, which in turn is connected to the air outlet of a fan 10. An ozone generator 11 is connected to the air inlet of the fan 10. When the fan 10 is turned on, air is drawn into it. The ozone-laden air then passes through the ozone generator 11, enters the air outlet pipe 9 through the air supply line 8, and is discharged from the air outlet, forming a large number of ozone bubbles at the bottom of the water tank 1. As these ozone bubbles rise, they come into contact with the fruits and vegetables moving on the conveyor belt 2. The strong oxidizing properties of ozone effectively kill harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses on the surfaces of the fruits and vegetables. It also chemically reacts with pesticide molecules, breaking them down into harmless substances, thereby achieving efficient sterilization and pesticide residue removal.

[0027] A support frame 12 is mounted at one end of the conveyor belt 2, on which a drive motor 13 is fixedly mounted. A sprocket and chain drive the drive motor 13 to the drive shaft of the conveyor belt 2. Once the drive motor 13 is activated, the sprocket and chain drive the conveyor belt 2 at a set speed and direction, allowing the fruits and vegetables to move in an orderly manner along the conveyor belt 2, passing through the ozone bubble cleaning zone and the spray cleaning zone, completing the entire cleaning process.

[0028] 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.
