[0002] Fruit and vegetable washing machines are mechanical devices specifically designed for large-scale fruit and vegetable cleaning needs, and are widely used in fruit and vegetable processing plants, agricultural product wholesale markets, and the catering industry. Their core function is to remove dirt, dust, pesticide residues, and bacteria from the surface of fruits and vegetables through efficient cleaning technology, improving product cleanliness and safety.
[0003] Current fruit and vegetable washing machines generally lack the function of blowing water off the washed fruits and vegetables, resulting in excessive moisture on the surface. For potatoes, this residual moisture can cause them to sprout, and thickly sprouted potatoes contain toxins and are unusable, leading to waste. Therefore, this invention proposes a fruit and vegetable washing machine with a water-blowing function to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a fruit and vegetable washing machine with a water blowing function. By setting a first water blowing pipe above the discharge end of the first conveyor belt, the washed fruits and vegetables can be blown with water to remove the moisture contained on the surface of the washed fruits and vegetables. By setting a diversion frame above the second conveyor belt, the washed fruits and vegetables can be divided into channels for transportation using the multi-group diversion channels on the diversion frame. During the transportation process, the second water blowing pipe set in the diversion channel can further blow water onto the fruits and vegetables one by one to further remove the moisture on the surface of the fruits and vegetables.

[0020] according to Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes a fruit and vegetable washing machine with a water blowing function, including a washing machine housing 1. One side of the washing machine housing 1 is a washing water tank 101, and the other side of the washing machine housing 1 is a water blowing tank 102. The washing water tank 101 is equipped with a first conveyor belt 2, and the water blowing tank 102 is equipped with a second conveyor belt 3. A first water blowing pipe 4 is provided above the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 2. The first water blowing pipe 4 is provided in multiple sets, and each set of the first water blowing pipe 4 is equipped with a nozzle 5 at its bottom. A diversion frame 6 is provided above the second conveyor belt 3. The diversion frame 6 is equipped with multiple diversion channels. A second water blowing pipe 7 is provided in each diversion channel. A water blowing air outlet is provided on the side wall of the second water blowing pipe 7. The water blowing air outlet is provided in multiple sets. A connecting pipe 8 is provided on the second water blowing pipe 7. An air inlet pipe 9 is provided above the inside of the water blowing tank 102. The connecting pipe 8 is connected to the air inlet pipe 9. The air inlet pipe 9 and the multiple sets of first water blowing pipes 4 are all connected to an external air source.
[0021] This utility model of a fruit and vegetable washing machine with a water blowing function cleans fruits and vegetables by placing them into a washing pool 101 for cleaning. After cleaning, the fruits and vegetables are conveyed to a first water blowing pipe 4 via a first conveyor belt 2. An external air source blows water onto the fruits and vegetables through a nozzle 5. Then, the first conveyor belt 2 continues to convey the fruits and vegetables onto a second conveyor belt 3, where they are divided by a multi-group diversion channel inside a diversion rack 6. The conveying continues, and the fruits and vegetables located in the diversion channel are further blown with water through a second water blowing pipe 7 before finally being discharged.
[0022] The second conveyor belt 3 is installed at a lower position than the first conveyor belt 2. The first conveyor belt 2 is equipped with baffles 18, and multiple sets of baffles 18 are provided. This arrangement facilitates the smooth transport of fruits and vegetables.
[0023] This invention enables the first water blowing pipe 4 to be installed above the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 2 to blow water on the washed fruits and vegetables, removing the moisture contained on the surface of the washed fruits and vegetables. By installing a diversion frame 6 above the second conveyor belt 3, the washed fruits and vegetables can be divided into channels for transportation using the multi-group diversion channels on the diversion frame 6. During the transportation process, the second water blowing pipe 7 installed in the diversion channel can further blow water on the fruits and vegetables one by one to further remove the moisture on the surface of the fruits and vegetables. Example
[0024] according to Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment proposes a fruit and vegetable washing machine with a water blowing function. The diversion frame 6 includes an end beam 601, a first intermediate partition 602, and a second intermediate partition 603. Two sets of end beams 601 are provided, with the first intermediate partition 602 and the second intermediate partition 603 positioned between the two sets of end beams 601. Multiple sets of both the first and second intermediate partitions 602 and 603 are provided. The diversion channel is located between the first and second intermediate partitions 602 and 603. The second water blowing pipe 7 is located below the inner wall of the second intermediate partition 603. A movable plate 10 is provided on one side of the first intermediate partition 602. An anti-collision absorbent sponge 11 is provided on the inner wall of the movable plate 10. A movable plate 12 is provided on the top of the movable plate 10, and the movable plate 12 is slidably connected to the first intermediate partition 602. A squeezing rod 13 is provided on one side of the upper end of the anti-collision absorbent sponge 11, and both ends of the squeezing rod 13 are connected to the first intermediate partition 602 via supports 14. A connecting plate 15 is provided on the upper end of the movable plate 12 on the first intermediate partition 602. A support frame 16 is installed on the cleaning machine housing 1 above the water blowing pool 102. A cylinder 17 is provided on the support frame 16. The output end of the cylinder 17 is installed with the connecting plate 15.
[0025] When the cleaned fruits and vegetables of this invention enter the diversion channel for segmented transport, the fruits and vegetables will come into contact with the anti-collision absorbent sponge 11 when the second water blowing pipe 7 blows water. The anti-collision absorbent sponge 11 will buffer and absorb water. When there is more water on the anti-collision absorbent sponge 11, the cylinder 17 is activated to control the retraction of the cylinder 17 to drive the connecting plate 15 to move upward. This causes multiple sets of movable plates 10 connected to the connecting plate 15 by the movable plate 12 to rise. Then, the anti-collision absorbent sponge 11 installed on the movable plate 10 is squeezed by the squeezing rod 13 to squeeze out the water. Then the movable plate 10 returns to its original position, and the anti-collision absorbent sponge 11 continues to provide anti-collision protection and water absorption.
[0026] This invention features a movable plate 10 on one side of the first intermediate partition 602 of the distribution frame 6, with an anti-collision absorbent sponge 11 mounted on the inner wall of the movable plate 10. When fruits and vegetables are transported and irrigated within the distribution channel, the anti-collision absorbent sponge 11 not only absorbs water but also protects the fruits and vegetables from impacting the first intermediate partition 602. A squeezing rod 13 is also included, which, by controlling the movable plate 10 to rise, moves the anti-collision absorbent sponge 11 upwards, squeezing out moisture from the sponge. The anti-collision absorbent sponge 11, in conjunction with the second irrigating pipe 7, effectively removes surface moisture from the fruits and vegetables.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
