[0034] During operation (or use), the tableware recycling conveyor belt features an automatic cleaning system, a plate recycling function, an automatic cleaning function, and an integrated electronic control operation function.
[0035] The working principle of the tray collection function: As the main function of the conveyor, the tray collection function is used in large restaurants where a large number of people eat at the same time, and a large number of trays need to be collected in time. Diners only need to place their tableware on the conveyor belt. Under the joint action of motor 17, chain 171 and chain plate 15, a circulation loop is formed. The trays placed on it move with the chain plate 15 and go from one side of the restaurant to the dishwasher room, where they are collected by dedicated personnel. This can efficiently collect a large number of trays and transport and collect a large number of trays in a short time, reducing the involvement of staff and reducing the workload of workers.
[0036] The working principle of the automatic cleaning function: After diners finish eating, there is a lot of residual oil on the surface of the tray collection conveyor belt. The surface needs to be thoroughly cleaned to ensure the hygiene of the canteen. The residue on the conveyor belt will flow to both sides of the chain plate belt, and both the inside and outside need to be cleaned. The machine head is equipped with two sets of spray pipes 13, which clean the inside and outside respectively. Under the control of the electronic control program, as long as the cleaning switch is pressed, it will start the pre-set cleaning program. First, detergent is applied and then clean water is used for rinsing. The time is controlled by the program. Through multiple cleaning cycles, it can effectively clean low to medium oil stains. For conveyor belts of different lengths, the cleaning time can be controlled by adjusting the time. The working time can be completed within 10-20 minutes, which can greatly reduce working time and labor intensity, and is convenient and simple, freeing up labor.
[0037] Integrated electrical control operation function: Multiple electrical appliances, pipes and control buttons are centralized in one central control box to achieve simple operation. It includes: power display, detergent shortage reminder, emergency stop control, motor speed adjustment, power start switch, cleaning switch, metering pump adjustment, detergent addition and other functions. The integrated electrical control box can be easily hung on a safe, reliable and easy-to-operate wall. It centralizes complex circuits, water inlet and outlet pipes, detergent pipes, etc., to facilitate assembly and maintenance management.
