[0002] Before fruits and vegetables are processed in batches, in order to ensure that their surfaces are clean, existing technologies use water washing devices to perform preliminary cleaning in batches. Water washing devices mostly use water rinsing and bubble oscillation to clean fruits and vegetables.

[0003] While existing technologies achieve easy cleaning by rinsing with water and tumbling with the help of air bubbles, they inevitably have shortcomings in actual use. For example, the lack of a dewatering mechanism results in the fruits and vegetables carrying too much water on their surface after being rinsed, which makes subsequent processing inconvenient. To avoid such problems, a batch preliminary washing device for fruits and vegetables is proposed to solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a preliminary washing device for batch processing of fruits and vegetables, including a base 1 and a washing frame 2. The washing frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1 by a bracket. A water collection cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 and one side of the washing frame 2 by a bracket. A grid lifting machine 24, which is used in conjunction with the water collection cylinder 3, is installed inside the washing frame 2. A flushing mechanism 4 and an air inflation mechanism 5 are respectively installed at the top and bottom of the washing frame 2. The flushing mechanism 4 includes a spray cluster pipe 401. The spray cluster pipe 401 is fixedly installed on the top of the cleaning frame 2 by a bracket. Several spray heads 402 are connected to the bottom of the spray cluster pipe 401. The air supply mechanism 5 includes an air supply cluster pipe 501, which is fixedly installed on the bottom of the cleaning frame 2 by a bracket. An air supply head 502 is connected to the top of the air supply cluster pipe 501, and the air supply head 502 extends into the interior of the cleaning frame 2. Several guide nozzles 22 are connected to one side of the cleaning frame 2, and an exhaust pipe 23 is connected to the front side of the cleaning frame 2.

[0022] Furthermore: To enhance the drainage effect of fruits and vegetables, a filter cylinder 6 is installed inside the water collection cylinder 3 via a bearing, and a drain cylinder 7 is installed inside the filter cylinder 6. A drive motor 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and the output shaft of the drive motor 8 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 9 via a coupling. One end of the rotating shaft 9 passes through the water collection cylinder 3 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter cylinder 6.

[0023] Furthermore: To facilitate the separation of the draining cylinder 7 and the filter cylinder 6 for easy extraction of fruits and vegetables, the filter cylinder 6 has placement grooves 10 on both sides of its top. The inner wall of the placement groove 10 has a slot 11, and the two slots 11 are arranged in opposite directions. The draining cylinder 7 has a placement frame 12 fixedly connected to both sides for use with the placement groove 10. The placement frame 12 has a slidably connected inclined block 13 for use with the slot 11. A return spring 14 is fixedly connected between the inclined block 13 and the placement frame 12. A handle 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the inclined block 13 and extends to the outside of the placement frame 12.

[0024] In order to facilitate the recycling of the water after dipping, the bottom of the water collection cylinder 3 is connected to the drain pipe 16, the top of the base 1 is fixedly connected to the water collection frame 17, the inside of the water collection frame 17 is equipped with a filter screen frame 18, the front and rear sides of the top of the filter screen frame 18 are provided with guide rails 19, the top of the two guide rails 19 are slidably provided with scrapers 20, and the top of the scrapers 20 is fixedly connected to a push-pull rod 21.

[0025] In use, an appropriate amount of clean water is injected into the cleaning frame 2. Then, water is sprayed into the cleaning frame 2 under high pressure through the guide nozzle 22 and several spray nozzles 402. The water volume is discharged out through the drain pipe 23 to maintain balance. Then, high-pressure gas is injected into the water in the cleaning frame 2 through the cooperation of the air pump and the air supply head 502 to form bubbles and oscillate. The guide nozzle 22 sprays water to guide the direction of the water flow for the fruits and vegetables placed on the top of the cleaning frame 2. The spray nozzles 402 spray water to tumble and wash the floating fruits and vegetables. The air supply head 502 injects gas to form bubbles. The bubbles will intensify the tumbling and washing of the fruits and vegetables, thereby accelerating the cleaning.

[0026] While cleaning, the bar lift 24 will transport the fruits and vegetables into the drain cylinder 7 by lifting, transferring and coarsely draining. At the same time, the drive motor 8 is started, and the drive motor 8 drives the rotating shaft 9, which causes the filter cylinder 6 to rotate the drain cylinder 7, thereby draining the fruits and vegetables continuously collected in the drain cylinder 7.

[0027] When it is necessary to remove the fruits and vegetables after they have been drained: the operator pushes and pulls the two handles 15 in opposite directions with both hands, causing the handles 15 to drive the inclined side block 13 to retract into the placement frame 12, thereby causing the inclined side block 13 to disengage from the slot 11. Finally, while maintaining this posture, the drain tube 7 is lifted upwards.
