Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0023] like Figures 1-6As shown, a device for cleaning cherry tomatoes includes a tank 1 and a stirring mechanism 2. The stirring mechanism 2 is located inside the tank 1. Multiple feeding cylinders 111 are located at the top of the tank 1, through which the cherry tomatoes enter the tank 1, improving the feeding efficiency of the tank 1. Multiple water inlet pipes 121 pointing off from the center of the tank 1 are located at the bottom. Water flows into the tank 1 through the water inlet pipes 121, forming an upward spiral water flow to rinse the cherry tomatoes and separate the scum from the cherry tomatoes.

[0024] The tank 1 has a removable partition 3 inside. A retaining ring 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner part of the cylinder 11. The retaining ring 13 has multiple positioning holes 131 around its circumference. The partition 3 has positioning posts 31 that mate with the positioning holes 131. The removable partition 3 facilitates quick disassembly, cleaning, or replacement of the partition 3. The partition 3 divides the tank 1 into upper and lower spaces. The partition 3 has circular holes with a diameter smaller than that of cherry tomatoes, confining the cherry tomatoes to be cleaned to the upper space of the tank 1. Denser sediment accumulates in the lower space of the tank 1 through the partition 3.

[0025] The side of the partition 3 away from the cone bottom 12 and the inner side of the cylinder 11 are respectively provided with a soft pad 32 and a polyurethane layer 14. When the cherry tomatoes enter the tank 1, the soft pad 32 or the polyurethane layer 14 can reduce the rigid impact between the cherry tomatoes and the partition 3 and the inner wall of the tank 1, thus providing some protection for the fruit.

[0026] A stirring mechanism 2 is located directly above the partition 3. The stirring mechanism 2 scrubs the surface of the cherry tomatoes, improving the cleaning effect. The stirring mechanism 2 includes a top cover 21 and a motor 22. The top cover 21 seals the top of the tank 1 and houses the motor 22. The output end of the motor 22 extends into the interior of the tank 1 and is fixedly connected to a main shaft 23. Multiple evenly spaced brushes 231 are arranged around the circumference of the main shaft 23. The motor 22 drives the main shaft 23 to rotate, and the main shaft 23 drives the brushes 231 to scrub the cherry tomatoes inside the tank 1, while simultaneously causing the cherry tomatoes to rotate inside the tank 1, resulting in friction and cleaning between the fruits.

[0027] The tank 1 includes a cylindrical body 11 and a conical bottom 12. A stirring mechanism 2 is installed inside the cylindrical body 11, and the bottom of the cylindrical body 11 is provided with a conical bottom 12. The conical bottom 12 facilitates the accumulation of sediment, and a drain pipe 122 is provided at the bottom of the conical bottom 12, with a valve 123 installed on the drain pipe 122. When the valve 123 is opened, water carrying the accumulated sediment is discharged from the tank 1 through the drain pipe 122. An overflow pipe 113 is provided at the top of the cylindrical body 11, through which less dense scum flows out of the tank 1 with the water flow. A flange 112 is provided on the cylindrical body 11, and the cylindrical body 11 is fixedly connected to the machine platform via the flange 112.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Cherry tomatoes are poured into the tank 1 from the feed cylinder 111. Water is introduced into the tank 11 in a spiral upward manner through the water inlet pipe 121, and scum and debris are discharged from the overflow pipe 113; sediment accumulates at the bottom of the cone 12 through the through hole 33, and when the valve 123 is opened, the sediment flows out with the water from the drain pipe 122.

[0029] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.
