[0005] A vegetable pre-soaking device includes a rectangular box with an opening at the top and multiple casters at the bottom for easy movement. This facilitates soaking and drainage of the soaking water.

[0006] The interior of the box has a rectangular frame, and a tray is welded to the lower end of the rectangular frame. Both the tray and the rectangular frame have multiple holes. This structure facilitates the removal of ingredients after soaking, and the holes facilitate the entry and exit of soaking water.

[0007] A pair of cover plates are rotatably installed at the upper middle position of the rectangular frame. The outer end of the cover plate is provided with a convex plate, and a concave rod is inserted into the convex plate. The two ends of the rectangular frame are respectively formed with convex parts, and the concave rod is inserted into the convex parts. The cover plates can prevent the food from floating due to buoyancy, thus affecting the soaking effect of the food.

[0008] Furthermore, to facilitate the drainage of soaking water, a sloping plate is welded to the lower inside of the box, with one end of the sloping plate extending downwards.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to support the pallet, a baffle is welded around the lower part of the inside of the box, and the pallet is placed on the baffle.

[0010] Furthermore, in order to limit the height of the pallet, L-shaped plates are provided on both sides of the box, with the upper horizontal section of the L-shaped plates placed at the top of the box.

[0011] Furthermore, to facilitate the retrieval of ingredients via a lifting device, a T-shaped plate is welded downwards from the horizontal section of the L-shaped plate. The T-shaped plate is located on the outside of the container, and connecting posts are welded to both ends of the T-shaped plate. Insertion holes are provided on the connecting posts. A concave rod is inserted into the insertion hole on the same side, with the vertical section of the concave rod inserted into the insertion hole. A concave hanging rod is welded to the horizontal section of the concave rod.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to improve the structural strength of the concave rod, a diagonal tie rod is welded to the horizontal section of the concave rod, and the other end of the diagonal tie rod is welded to the vertical section of the concave hanging rod.

[0013] Furthermore, to prevent the food from falling off due to the pallet shifting left and right during lifting and transfer, the concave hanging rod is designed with a V-shape in the middle.

[0014] Furthermore, to facilitate the drainage of soaking water and to prevent debris from being discharged along with it, a drain pipe is welded to one end of the tank. A sewage pipe is welded upwards to the drain pipe, and an end cap is threaded onto the upper end of the sewage pipe. The inner wall of the end cap is fitted with a rubber plug. A filter cover is threaded onto the inner side of the outer end of the drain pipe, and a sealing cap is threaded onto the outer periphery of the outer end of the drain pipe. A blocking post is located on the inner wall of the sealing cap and extends through the filter cover.

[0015] Furthermore, in order to prevent the accumulation of dirt and other debris from affecting the drainage of soaking water, a conical filter bucket is formed on the inner end of the filter cover, and multiple filter holes are opened on the conical filter bucket.

[0016] The advantages of the above technical solution are:

[0017] This invention facilitates the filtration process when draining soaking water and also makes it easy to retrieve the food after soaking. In addition, the cover plate prevents the food from floating up, thus avoiding any impact on the soaking effect. Attached Figure Description
