[0002] Cleaning fruits and vegetables is a crucial step in ensuring food safety and improving edible quality. The cleaning process mainly includes four steps: pre-washing, soaking, scrubbing, and rinsing. First, pre-washing involves rinsing the surface of the fruits and vegetables with running water to remove most of the dirt and grime. Next, soak the fruits and vegetables in clean water, adding a suitable amount of baking soda or salt to help soften surface stains and pesticide residues. Then, gently scrub the surface of the fruits and vegetables with a soft-bristled brush, especially in crevices and recesses. Finally, rinse several times with clean water until thoroughly clean. During the cleaning process, care should be taken not to damage the skin of the fruits and vegetables to avoid affecting their nutritional value and taste. At the same time, ensure that the washing water is clean to avoid secondary contamination.

[0003] In existing technologies, the cleaning of fruits and vegetables is mostly done manually or mechanically. Both methods require the fruits and vegetables to be removed from the cleaning tank one by one after the cleaning is completed, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

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.

[0025] Example

[0026] Please see Figures 1-3 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0027] A washing device for fruits and vegetables includes:

[0028] Outer box 1;

[0029] The cleaning tank 3 is rotatably connected to the outer casing 1 via the first rotating shaft 2;

[0030] Multiple cleaning rollers 6 are provided, and each cleaning roller 6 is rotatably connected to the cleaning tank 3 via a second rotating shaft 7; and

[0031] The drive mechanism is located inside the cleaning tank 3 and is connected to multiple second rotating shafts 7 to realize the rotation of the multiple second rotating shafts 7.

[0032] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, an appropriate amount of water is placed inside the outer box 1 during use. The washing box 3 is placed on the upper surface of the baffle 4, and the fruits and vegetables to be washed are placed inside the washing box 3. The drive mechanism operates, driving multiple second rotating shafts 7 to rotate. The multiple second rotating shafts 7 respectively drive the washing rollers 6 to rotate. When the washing rollers 6 rotate, they remove impurities from the surface of the fruits and vegetables, achieving the purpose of washing the fruits and vegetables. After washing, the washing box 3 is rotated around the first rotating shaft 2. A container for storing fruits and vegetables is placed on one side of the outer box 1. When the washing box 3 is rotated, the fruits and vegetables inside the washing box 3 slide into the container for storing fruits and vegetables, completing the washing process. By using this device, after the fruits and vegetables are washed, the washing box 3 is manually controlled to rotate around the first rotating shaft 2 to remove the fruits and vegetables from the outer box 1. Compared with the traditional method of removing fruits and vegetables one by one, this method effectively improves the efficiency of removing fruits and vegetables.

[0033] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-3 The upper end of the cleaning tank 3 has two mounting slots 8, and multiple second rotating shafts 7 respectively move through the inner walls of the two mounting slots 8.

[0034] In this embodiment: the mounting slot 8 is used to install the drive mechanism.

[0035] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-3The drive mechanism includes a belt 9 and a motor. Multiple belts 9 are provided, and the multiple belts 9 are respectively connected to the circumferential surface of multiple second rotating shafts 7. The multiple belts 9 are all located in one of the mounting grooves 8. The motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of another mounting groove 8, and the output end of the motor is fixed to one end of one of the second rotating shafts 7.

[0036] In this embodiment: a belt 9 is connected to the circumferential surface of two adjacent second rotating shafts 7. The motor is fixedly connected in the mounting groove 8. The operation of the motor drives the second rotating shaft 7 connected to its output end to rotate. Multiple second rotating shafts 7 are connected by multiple belts 9 respectively. When one second rotating shaft 7 rotates, the other second rotating shafts 7 also rotate at the same time. The second rotating shaft 7 drives the cleaning roller 6 to rotate.

[0037] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-3 The inner circumference of the cleaning tank 3 is provided with multiple water inlet holes 5.

[0038] In this embodiment, water from the outer casing 1 enters the cleaning tank 3 through the water inlet 5 for cleaning fruits, vegetables, and crops.

[0039] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-3 The inner walls on both sides of the outer box 1 are fixedly connected with baffles 4, and the upper end of the cleaning box 3 is fixedly connected with a handle 10.

[0040] In this embodiment, the baffle 4 serves to support the cleaning tank 3, and the handle 10 facilitates the rotation of the cleaning tank 3.

[0041] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-3 A drain pipe 11 is fixedly connected inside the outer casing 1, and two support legs 12 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer casing 1.

[0042] In this embodiment: when water is placed in the outer box 1, a wooden plug is inserted into the drain pipe 11. When the water in the outer box 1 is drained, the wooden plug in the drain pipe 11 is removed to facilitate the drainage of the cleaning water. The support leg 12 serves to support the outer box 1.

[0043] It should be noted that the specific model of motor used shall be selected by relevant technical personnel familiar with the field, and the motors mentioned above are all existing technologies, which will not be elaborated upon in this solution.

[0044] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using this device, first add an appropriate amount of water to the outer box 1, then place the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned into the cleaning tank 3, control the drive mechanism to run, causing multiple cleaning rollers 6 to rotate. Under the rotation of the multiple cleaning rollers 6, impurities on the surface of the fruits and vegetables are removed. After cleaning, place a container for storing the fruits and vegetables on one side of the first rotating shaft 2, manually pull the handle 10, and the handle 10 drives the cleaning tank 3 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 2. The fruits and vegetables in the cleaning tank 3 roll into the container for storing the fruits and vegetables, completing the cleaning of the fruits and vegetables. By using this device, after the fruits and vegetables are cleaned, manually control the cleaning tank 3 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 2 to remove the fruits and vegetables in the cleaning tank 3 from the outer box 1. Compared with the traditional method of removing fruits and vegetables one by one, this effectively improves the efficiency of removing fruits and vegetables.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
