[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 A cleaning device for removing impurities from mulberries includes a housing 1. Multiple air vents are located at the bottom of the housing 1. Inside the housing 1 is a vertically movable filter assembly, comprising two filter screens 8 and a connecting rod 9 between them. The connecting rod 9 connects the two filter screens 8. Two lifting structures are fixedly installed on the top side of the housing 1, and these structures are fixedly connected to the top filter screens 8. Water is injected into the housing 1, and the mulberries to be cleaned are placed on the bottom filter screens 8. The lifting structures then move the filter screens 8 downwards until they are completely submerged in water. The top filter screen 8 keeps the mulberries pressed into the water. Impurities floating on the filter screens 8 are then removed. The air vents are then activated to agitate the water for cleaning. This device can completely submerge the mulberries for thorough cleaning and is easy to use.

[0023] Furthermore, the lifting structure includes a mounting bracket 3 fixedly installed on the side of the housing 1 and a motor assembly, which is fixedly connected to the filter screen 8.

[0024] Furthermore, the motor assembly includes a lead screw 5, a motor 6, and an L-shaped connecting plate 4. The lead screw 5 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting frame 3. The motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 3. The output shaft of the motor 6 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 5. One end of the L-shaped connecting plate 4 extends into the interior of the mounting frame 3 and is threadedly connected to the lead screw 5. Both sides of the L-shaped connecting plate 4 are in contact with the inner wall of the mounting frame 3. One end of the L-shaped connecting plate 4 is bent downward and fixedly connected to the corresponding filter screen 8.

[0025] Furthermore, a side guide rail 7 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer shell 1. A groove is opened on the area of ​​the filter screen 8 corresponding to the connecting rod 9. The groove is slidably engaged with the side guide rail 7. When the motor 6 starts, it drives the lead screw 5 to rotate. At this time, it drives the L-shaped connecting plate 4 to move up and down. At this time, the filter screen 8 moves up and down, driving the mulberry between the two filter screens 8 to move downward, keeping the mulberry below the water surface.

[0026] Furthermore, the air outlet structure includes multiple sets of air inlet pipes 2 and an outlet assembly disposed on the air inlet pipes 2. One end of the multiple sets of air inlet pipes 2 is located inside the outer casing 1, and the outlet structure is located on the upper surface of the air inlet pipes 2.

[0027] Furthermore, the outlet structure includes an exhaust pipe 10, a sealing block 12, and a spring 14. The exhaust pipe 10 is fixedly installed on the surface of the intake pipe 2 and connects to the interior of the intake pipe 2. An inner wall protrusion 11 with a conical inner wall is integrally formed on the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 10. A sealing block 12 is provided inside the exhaust pipe 10. The upper end of the sealing block 12 has a T-shaped cross-section, and the lower end of the sealing block 12 is conical. The inclined surface of the sealing block 12 is in contact with the inner wall of the inner wall protrusion 11. An inner wall groove 13 is formed on the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 10. A spring 14 is fixedly installed inside the inner wall groove 13. The upper end of the sealing block 12 corresponds to the inner wall. A side protrusion 15 is integrally formed at the groove 13 position. The side protrusion 15 is slidably engaged with the inner wall groove 13. The spring 14 is fixedly connected to the side protrusion 15. When washing mulberries, the air inlet pipe 2 is connected to a fan to inject air into it. Then the air pressure pushes up the sealing block 12. At this time, the spring 14 contracts. Then the air flows outward of the air outlet pipe 10 through the gap between the inner wall protrusion 11 and the sealing block 12, generating bubbles and causing the water to start rolling, thus washing the mulberries. When no more air is injected, the spring 14 is pulled back to keep the sealing block 12 and the inner wall protrusion 11 in contact, thus achieving a seal.

[0028] Working principle: Water is injected into the inside of the outer shell 1. Then, the mulberries to be washed are placed on the bottom filter screen 8. The motor 6 starts and drives the lead screw 5 to rotate. At this time, the L-shaped connecting plate 4 moves up and down. The filter screen 8 moves up and down, causing the mulberries between the two filter screens 8 to move downwards, keeping the mulberries below the water surface. When washing the mulberries, the air inlet pipe 2 is connected to a fan to inject air into the interior. The air pressure then pushes up the sealing block 12. At this time, the spring 14 contracts. Then, the air flows out of the air outlet pipe 10 through the gap between the inner wall protrusion 11 and the sealing block 12, generating bubbles and causing the water to start rolling, thus washing the mulberries. When no more air is injected, the spring 14 pulls back, keeping the sealing block 12 in contact with the inner wall protrusion 11, achieving a seal.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
