Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable cleaning technology, and in particular to an ozone generator for a fruit and vegetable machine. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of society, people's demands for hygiene, environment, and health are becoming increasingly urgent. However, currently, the cultivation of fruits and vegetables mainly relies on the spraying of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. After the fruits and vegetables mature, there may still be some toxic organic residues on their surface. If pesticide residues, bacteria, and viruses are not effectively removed from the surface of fruits and vegetables before consumption and processing, they will pose a threat to human health.
[0003] However, the cleaning methods currently available on the market generally use ultrasonic cleaning, agitation cleaning, and manual washing, and usually only use water or a combination of cleaning agents. These methods are not thorough in removing pesticide residues and killing bacteria and viruses, resulting in poor cleaning and sterilization effects. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an ozone generator for fruit and vegetable machines.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: an ozone generator in a fruit and vegetable machine, including a housing, the housing being provided with a sealing partition, a sealed cavity being formed below the housing and the sealing partition, a cleaning tank being formed above the housing and the partition, a lifting assembly being installed in the housing, the lifting assembly being connected to a cleaning net box, the cleaning net box being located inside the cleaning tank; a mixer, a booster pump and an ozone generator are installed in the sealed cavity, the ozone generator being connected to the booster pump, the booster pump being connected to the mixer, the mixer including a cylindrical shell, a rotating blade being installed at the bottom of the shell, the rotating blade being connected to the output shaft of a rotary motor, a plurality of turbulence blocks being installed on the inner wall of the shell, the turbulence blocks having turbulence holes penetrating the turbulence blocks.

The booster pump pressurizes the ozone generated by the ozone generator and pumps it into the mixer through the inlet pipe. Water in the cleaning tank enters the mixer through the water inlet pipe. The mixer fully mixes the water and ozone to produce ozone water, which then enters the cleaning tank through the outlet pipe. The water in the cleaning tank is continuously supplied to the mixer by the water pump. The water is mixed and dissolved by the ozone generated by the mixer and the ozone generator, thus making it easy to produce high-concentration ozone water. The high-concentration ozone water has a strong bactericidal, disinfecting and pesticide degradation effect, ensuring the cleaning effect of fruits and vegetables.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: a one-way valve is fixedly installed on the air inlet pipe, a water inlet pump is fixedly installed on the water inlet pipe, and a water outlet pump is fixedly installed on the water outlet pipe. The water inlet pump is started, allowing water in the cleaning tank to enter the mixer through the water inlet pump and the water inlet pipe; the water outlet pump is started, allowing ozone water generated by the mixer to enter the cleaning tank through the water outlet pipe.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the lifting motor, booster pump, ozone generator, and mixer are respectively connected to the control module. The lifting motor, booster pump, ozone generator, and mixer are respectively connected to the power module. By connecting the lifting motor, booster pump, ozone generator, and mixer to the control module and power module respectively, automated operation can be achieved.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, a filter device is also provided between the mixer and the water inlet pump. The filter device is used to filter out large particulate impurities in the water, and the filtered water enters the mixer through the water inlet pipe.

The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0020] See also Figure 1-2 An ozone generator for a fruit and vegetable machine includes a housing 1, a sealing partition 2, a sealed cavity 3 formed below the housing 1 and the sealing partition 2, and a cleaning tank 4 formed above the housing 1 and the partition. A lifting assembly is installed in the housing 1, and a cleaning mesh box 5 is connected to the lifting assembly and located within the cleaning tank 4. A mixer 6, a booster pump 7, and an ozone generator 8 are installed in the sealed cavity 3. The ozone generator 8 is connected to the booster pump 7, which is also connected to the mixer 6. The mixer 6 includes a cylindrical housing 9, with rotating blades 10 installed at the bottom of the housing 9. The rotating blades 10 are connected to the output shaft of a rotary motor. Multiple turbulence blocks 11 are installed on the inner wall of the housing 9, each turbulence block 11 having turbulence holes 12 that penetrate the turbulence block 11.
[0021] The ozone water generated by the ozone generator 8 and the mixer 6 oxidizes and removes pesticide residues, bacteria and viruses on fruits and vegetables. The lifting component then raises and lowers the washing net box 5 and the fruits and vegetables, which can improve the efficiency and cleanliness of fruit and vegetable washing.
[0022] The mixer 6 is equipped with rotating blades 10, turbulence blocks 11, and turbulence holes 12. Water and ozone are rotated and flowed by the rotating blades 10. When passing through the turbulence blocks 11 and turbulence holes 12, the water and ozone are affected by the turbulence blocks 11 and turbulence holes 12, and a large number of tiny bubbles are generated under the combined action of the rotating blades 10. This allows the water and ozone to mix thoroughly, increases the ozone water concentration, and thus improves the cleaning and sterilization effect of fruits and vegetables.
[0023] The lifting assembly includes a lifting screw 13, a lifting nut 14, a lifting motor 15, a guide rod 16, and a sliding block 17. The lifting screw 13 and the guide rod 16 are installed inside the housing 1. The lifting screw 13 is rotatably connected to the housing 1.

The ozone generated by the ozone generator 8 enters the booster pump 7 through the air outlet pipe 20. The booster pump 7 pressurizes the ozone generated by the ozone generator 8 and pumps it into the mixer 6 through the air inlet pipe 21. The water in the cleaning tank 4 enters the mixer 6 through the water inlet pipe 22. The mixer 6 makes the water and ozone fully mixed to produce ozone water, which enters the cleaning tank 4 through the water outlet pipe 23.
[0028] The water pump 27 continuously supplies water from the cleaning tank 4 to the mixer 6, and the water is mixed and dissolved by the ozone generated by the mixer 6 and the ozone generator 8, thus easily producing high-concentration ozone water. The high-concentration ozone water has a strong bactericidal, disinfecting and pesticide degradation effect, ensuring the cleaning effect of fruits and vegetables.
[0029] The bottom of the lifting screw 13 is provided with a limiting block 25, which is used to limit the lifting nut 14 to prevent the cleaning net box 5 from contacting the rotating nozzle 24 and causing damage to the rotating nozzle 24.
