[0031] 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.
[0032] Refer to Figure 1- Figure 2 This utility model provides an embodiment of a food washing machine, including a washing tank 1 for washing food. Foods such as mushrooms and peanuts need to be washed before consumption. The traditional washing method is manual washing. A drain pipe 2 for sewage discharge is connected through and fixedly connected to the bottom of the right surface of the washing tank 1. A valve 3 is provided in the middle section of the drain pipe 2. The valve 3 can control the opening and closing of the drain pipe 2. The valve 3 is existing technology and can be implemented by those skilled in the art. Since it is existing technology, it will not be described in detail in this case. The washing tank 1 is equipped with a washing component and a partition component.
[0033] Referring to Figures 1, 3, and 5, the cleaning assembly includes a support frame 41. A slider 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the right surface of the support frame 41. Two sets of sliders 42 are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the support frame 41. A fixing block 43 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the cleaning tank 1. A motor 44 is provided on the front surface of the fixing block 43. The motor 44 is existing technology and can be implemented by those skilled in the art. As it is existing technology, it will not be described in detail in this case. A positioning tube 47 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 44. The motor 44 can drive the positioning tube 47 to rotate. A sleeve 45 is fixedly connected to the top of the front surface of the support frame 41. The inner wall of the sleeve 45 contacts the outer wall of the positioning tube 47. An arc groove 401 is opened on the outer wall of the positioning tube 47. A positioning block 46 is fixedly connected to the front end of the inner wall of the sleeve 45.
[0034] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 4, the partition assembly includes a waste basket 52 for collecting dirt and other impurities. A washing basket 51 is inserted into the upper surface of the support frame 41. Food items to be washed can be placed in the washing basket 51. A handle 53 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rear side of the washing basket 51. Multiple handles 53 are provided for easy gripping and are evenly distributed on the inner walls of the washing basket 51 and the waste basket 52. Grabbing the handle 53 allows for easy removal of the washing basket 51 and the waste basket 52, facilitating the retrieval of food items from the washing basket 51 and the cleaning of impurities from the waste basket 52. A partition 54 is inserted into the upper surface of the washing basket 51, dividing the interior of the washing basket 51 into several areas. Food items of different sizes and specifications can be placed in different areas. For example, peanuts and wood ear mushrooms differ in size and price; for convenience, different sizes of food items can be pre-sorted for washing. A locking block 56 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the partition 54 via a compression spring 55. The front surface has a slot 501, and the card block 56 fits into the slot 501.
[0035] Referring to Figures 1, 3, and 5, the inner wall of the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 is designed as a slope, higher on the left and lower on the right, allowing wastewater to flow along the slope. The slider 42 is slidably connected to the right surface of the cleaning tank 1, sliding back and forth. The positioning tube 47 is rotatably connected to the front surface of the fixed block 43. The sleeve 45 is slidably connected to the front surface of the cleaning tank 1 and to the rear surface of the fixed block 43. The arc groove 401 is spiral-shaped. The positioning block 46 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc groove 401. When the spiral arc groove 401 rotates, it squeezes the positioning block 46, causing it to move back and forth. After the motor 44 starts, it drives the positioning tube 47 to rotate, which in turn causes the positioning block 46, sleeve 45, and support frame 41 to reciprocate back and forth. The four sides are designed to be hollow, and the hollow support frame 41 will not affect the flow of water, and can limit the cleaning frame 51 and the waste frame 52.
[0036] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 4, the waste frame 52 is inserted into the upper surface of the support frame 41, and the washing frame 51 is located above the waste frame 52. The lower surface of the washing frame 51 has multiple sets of filter holes, allowing small particles such as mud and impurities to enter the waste frame 52 through the filter holes, while food is blocked. The locking block 56 is slidably connected to the front surface of the partition 54. One end of the compression spring 55 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the locking block 56, and the other end of the compression spring 55 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rear side of the partition 54. When the locking block 56 moves backward, it will squeeze the compression spring 55 to generate a reaction force and release the obstruction. The locking block 56 is inserted into the inner wall of the slot 501, which can limit the partition 54. The bottom end of the front surface of the locking block 56 is set as a slope.
[0037] Working principle: Place the ingredients to be cleaned, such as mushrooms and peanuts, into the cleaning frame 51. If the ingredients are of different sizes, the cleaning frame 51 can be divided into different areas by the partition 54 to place different ingredients. When the partition 54 is placed, the inclined surface of the locking block 56 will be squeezed, causing the locking block 56 to move backward and compress the compression spring 55. When the partition 54 is inserted into the appropriate position, the locking block 56 is inserted into the slot 501 under the reaction force of the compression spring 55, limiting the partition 54 and completing the installation of the partition 54. When the partition 54 is removed, use your finger to push the locking block 56 from the slot 501 to release the limitation, and then remove the partition 54.
[0038] Then, water is added to the cleaning tank 1, and the motor 44 is started to drive the positioning tube 47 to rotate. Since the outer wall of the positioning tube 47 has a spiral arc groove 401, and the positioning block 46 at the front end of the inner wall of the sleeve 45 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc groove 401, the positioning tube 47 will squeeze the positioning block 46 when it rotates, causing the positioning block 46 to drive the sleeve 45 to move back and forth, thereby driving the support frame 41 fixedly connected to the sleeve 45 to move back and forth.
[0039] As the support frame 41 moves back and forth, the washing frame 51 and the waste frame 52 also move, allowing the food to come into full contact with water and be agitated in the washing frame 51, thereby cleaning the food. During the cleaning process, small particles of dirt and impurities enter the waste frame 52 through the filter holes on the lower surface of the washing frame 51, while the food remains in the washing frame 51.
[0040] After cleaning, open valve 3. The sloping design of the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, which is higher on the left and lower on the right, allows the sewage to flow along the sloping surface to the drain pipe 2 and be discharged under the action of gravity. After the sewage is discharged, grab handle 53 to remove the cleaning frame 51 and waste frame 52 from the support frame 41, so as to make it easier to take out the cleaned food in the cleaning frame 51 and clean the impurities collected in the waste frame 52.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
