[0020] Working principle: The slicing device body 1 is the basic structure of the entire device, bearing all components and functions. The slicing chamber 2 is located on the slicing device body 1 and is used to slice the fruit raw materials. When motor 6 starts, gear 7 at its output end drives gear 5, which meshes with it, to rotate. The rotation of gear 5 drives shaft 3 and the cutter 4 fixed at the top of shaft 3 to rotate together. As the operator puts fruit into the slicing chamber 2, the cutter 4 can slice it. After slicing, the sliced ​​fruit will slide out of the device through the ramp at the bottom of the slicing chamber 2. Through the installation of the rinsing end 8, high-pressure water pump 16 and frame 10, when it is necessary to rinse the slicing chamber 2, motor 14 starts, driving lead screw 12. The rotation of the lead screw 12, via the lead screw nut 13 and connecting rod 11, drives the rinsing end 8 and its nozzles 9 to move within the slicing chamber 2. Simultaneously, the high-pressure water pump 16 starts, pressurizing the water in the water tank 15 and delivering it to the diversion pipe 17. The high-pressure water in the diversion pipe 17 is then delivered to the nozzles 9 on the rinsing end 8 through the outlet hose 18 for rinsing. Driven by the rinsing end 8, the nozzles 9 thoroughly rinse the interior of the slicing chamber 2.

Motor 2 14 is fixedly mounted on frame 10, with its output end fixedly connected to one end of lead screw 12. When motor 2 14 starts... When activated, it drives the lead screw 12 to rotate, thereby driving the rinsing end 8 to move. The water tank 15 is fixedly installed inside the main body 1 of the slicing device and is used to store the water required for rinsing. The high-pressure water pump 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 15, with its inlet extending into the interior of the water tank 15 and its outlet fixedly installed with a diverter pipe 17. The high-pressure water pump 16 can pressurize the water in the water tank 15 and deliver it to the diverter pipe 17. A retractable water outlet hose 18 is installed at the outlet of the diverter pipe 17. One end of the water outlet hose 18 is connected to the interior of the rinsing end 8, so that high-pressure water can be delivered to the nozzle 9 on the rinsing end 8 for rinsing through the water outlet hose 18. When the slicing chamber 2 needs to be rinsed, the motor 14 starts, driving the lead screw 12 to rotate.The rotation of lead screw 12, via lead screw nut 13 and connecting rod 11, drives the rinsing end 8 and its nozzle 9 to move within the slicing chamber 2. Simultaneously, high-pressure water pump 16 starts, pressurizing water in water tank 15 and delivering it to diversion pipe 17. The high-pressure water in diversion pipe 17 is then delivered to the nozzle 9 on rinsing end 8 via outlet hose 18 for rinsing. Driven by rinsing end 8, the nozzle 9 thoroughly rinses the interior of the slicing chamber 2. This not only reduces the labor intensity of employees and improves their job satisfaction and efficiency, but also completes the cleaning task in a short time, making it more efficient than manual cleaning.
