[0011] Further, one end of the water inlet pipe is provided with a spherical connecting connector, and a connecting seat for embedding the connecting connector is arranged in the corresponding interface of the water inlet connector. When the connecting connector and the connecting seat are connected, the first water inlet of the water sprayer and the first water outlet of the micro-nano bubble generator are in communication.

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "transverse," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different directions, these terms indicating direction are only for illustration and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity. In addition, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a cleaning device includes a water tank 1, a micro / nano bubble generator 2, and a sprayer 3 for spraying water into the water tank 1. The sprayer 3 has a first inlet 31 and a spray nozzle 32, and its interior is horizontally provided with an atomizing channel 30 for atomizing water. The inlet end of the atomizing channel 30 is in fluid communication with the first inlet 31, and the outlet end is in fluid communication with the spray nozzle 32. Furthermore, the first inlet 31 is in fluid communication with the first outlet 21 of the micro / nano bubble generator 2. The micro / nano bubble generator 2 in this invention adopts a conventional structure.

[0029] As can be seen from the above, the cleaning device of this utility model is equipped with a micro-nano bubble generator 2 and a water sprayer 3. The micro-nano bubble generator 2 generates micro-nano bubble water (particle size between tens of nm and tens of μm). This micro-nano bubble water can penetrate into the hidden fine structures on the surface of the object to be cleaned (e.g., food), cleaning dirt that conventional methods cannot reach. Furthermore, its self-charged properties allow it to adsorb dirt from the surface of the object and the water. Simultaneously, the bursting of micro-nano bubble water on the surface of the object helps loosen and remove surface dirt, preventing surface damage during the cleaning process. Further, the atomizing channel 30 in the water sprayer 3 atomizes the micro-nano bubble water into a micro-jet, ensuring the water flow impact speed while reducing the impact intensity. This better avoids surface damage during the cleaning process and allows the micro-nano bubble water to better penetrate the uneven areas of the object's surface, improving the cleaning effect.

[0030] Furthermore, the aforementioned atomizing channel 30 includes a first channel 301, a second channel 302, and a third channel 303 continuously arranged along its length, with their radii decreasing sequentially. The first channel 301 is adjacent to the first water inlet 31, while the third channel 303 is adjacent to the spray nozzle 32. This allows the water pressure to gradually increase as the micro-nano bubble water flows along the atomizing channel 30, which is beneficial for improving the atomization effect. Preferably, the water inlet end of the first channel 301 is curved and deviates from one side of the atomizing channel 30 along its length, thus pressurizing the water flow. The water outlet end extends in a straight line with the second channel 302 and the third channel 303, ensuring that the atomized water is smoothly sprayed from the spray nozzle 32 while simultaneously pressurizing the water flow.

[0031] Furthermore, the aforementioned water sprayer 3 also includes a vertically oriented cylindrical water storage chamber 33. One side of the water storage chamber 33 has a water inlet 331, and the other side has a water outlet 332. The water outlet 332 is directly opposite the water inlet 331 and is higher than the water inlet 331. The water inlet 331 is in fluid communication with the first water inlet 31, while the water outlet 332 is connected to the water inlet port of the first flow channel 301. Thus, as water continuously flows into the water storage chamber 33, the water pressure in the water storage chamber 33 increases, and since the water outlet 332 is higher than the water inlet 331, the water pressure can be further increased.

[0032] Furthermore, the first inlet 31 of the sprayer 3 is equipped with an inlet connector 4 with a filter screen 41, which filters the water entering the sprayer 3. The inlet connector 4 is connected to the first outlet 21 of the micro / nano bubble generator 2 via a retractable inlet pipe 40 (a flexible hose in this embodiment) along its length, allowing the user to easily adjust the position of the sprayer 3 according to cleaning needs. Preferably, one end of the inlet pipe 40 is provided with a spherical connector 401, and the corresponding interface of the inlet connector 4 is provided with a connecting seat 42 for the connector 401 to be fitted. When the connector 401 is connected to the connecting seat 42, the first inlet 31 of the sprayer 3 is connected to the first outlet 21 of the micro / nano bubble generator 2. This facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the inlet pipe 401 and the sprayer 3, and ensures reliable communication between them during assembly.

[0033] Furthermore, the aforementioned water sprayer 3 includes a block-shaped body 3a and a nozzle 3b. The first flow channel 301 is formed in the body 3a, while the second flow channel 302 and the third flow channel 303 are respectively formed in the nozzle 3b, and the water outlet of the third flow channel 303 constitutes the water spray nozzle 32. Moreover, the nozzle 3b and the body 3a are detachably connected so that the first flow channel 301, the second flow channel 302, and the third flow channel 303 can be joined to form the atomizing flow channel 30. This facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the water sprayer 3 and makes it easy to clean dirt (such as scale from long-term use) from the atomizing flow channel 30.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the body 3a is elongated, the first flow channel 301 is arranged along the length of the body 3a, and one end of the body 3a has the first water inlet 31 and the other end has the water outlet of the first flow channel 301. The water outlet is threadedly connected to the nozzle 3b, and a first sealing ring 5 is provided at the connection between the two. This allows the nozzle 3b to be firmly connected to the body 3a to form a water sprayer 3, and prevents water leakage at the connection. Furthermore, the body 3a is detachably covered with a cover 7 at the water outlet of the first flow channel 301 to form a space 70 for accommodating the nozzle 3b. The cover 7 has a spray outlet 71 that is directly opposite the spray nozzle 32 of the nozzle 3b, and a second sealing ring 6 is circumferentially sandwiched between the edge of the spray outlet 71 and the edge of the spray nozzle 32. The cover 7 protects the nozzle 3b from damage during daily use and prevents water from seeping into the gap between the cover 7 and the nozzle 3b.

[0035] Furthermore, it also includes a water supply path for supplying water to the aforementioned micro / nano bubble generator 2. This water supply path includes an inlet valve 8 and a water pump 9 for controlling the opening and closing of the water supply path. Specifically, in this embodiment, the aforementioned inlet valve 8, water pump 9, and micro / nano bubble generator 2 are all disposed on the back side of the aforementioned water tank 1, while the aforementioned water sprayer 3 is disposed on the rear side wall of the water tank 1 along the front-to-back direction. Moreover, the second inlet 81 of the inlet valve 8 is connected to a water source, the second outlet 82 of the inlet valve 8 is fluidly connected to the third inlet 91 of the water pump 9, and the third outlet 92 of the water pump 9 is fluidly connected to the fourth inlet (not shown) of the aforementioned micro / nano bubble generator 2.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] Unlike Embodiment 1, the water supply circuit in this embodiment further includes a flow-through electrolytic ozone water module 10. The second inlet 81 of the aforementioned inlet valve 8 is connected to the water source, while the second outlet 82 of the inlet valve 8 is fluidly connected to the fifth inlet 101 of the flow-through electrolytic ozone water module 10. The fifth outlet 102 of the flow-through electrolytic ozone water module 10 is fluidly connected to the third inlet 91 of the water pump 9, and the third outlet 92 of the water pump 9 is fluidly connected to the fourth inlet of the aforementioned micro-nano bubble generator 2. By setting the flow-through electrolytic ozone water module 10 to electrolyze water to produce oxygenated water, the oxygenated water enters the micro-nano bubble generator 2 to produce oxygenated micro-nano bubble water with bactericidal effect. Spraying the atomized oxygenated micro-nano bubble water onto items can sterilize and remove pesticide residues (when cleaning food). The flow-through electrolytic ozone water module 10 in this invention adopts an existing structure.

[0038] The term "fluid connectivity" as used in this utility model refers to the spatial relationship between two components or parts (hereinafter referred to as the first part and the second part, respectively), that is, a fluid (gas, liquid, or a mixture of both) can flow from the first part along a flow path and / or be transported to the second part. This can be a direct connection between the first part and the second part, or an indirect connection between the first part and the second part through at least one third party. The third party can be a fluid channel such as a pipe, channel, conduit, guide, hole, or groove, or a chamber or combination thereof that allows fluid to flow through.
