[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food washing tanks, and in particular to a food washing tank. Background Technology
[0002] Food is an essential part of everyone's daily life, providing the body with necessary energy. Foods such as fruits and vegetables need to be washed before consumption or cooking. Food washing tanks are mainly used to wash vegetables and fruits to remove surface dirt, pesticide residues, and bacteria. They are primarily used in kitchens or the catering industry.
[0003] However, in the existing technology, after the food is cleaned in the food washing tank, wastewater and cleaning agents remain on the surface of the food. This requires the water inside the washing tank to be changed multiple times and the food to be cleaned multiple times, which is troublesome and wastes water resources. Utility Model Content

[0006] The drying mechanism includes a storage basin, and several sets of rotating shafts are equidistantly arranged on both sides of the storage basin and at the bottom position, with rollers arranged between two sets of symmetrically arranged rotating shafts.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: several sets of rotating shafts are provided with driving gears and driven gears, a motor is provided on the outer wall of the pool body, and two sets of fans are provided on the other side of the pool body.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: several sets of the driving gears and driven gears are arranged at intervals on one side of the storage basin through a rotating shaft, and the driving gears and driven gears mesh with each other. The rotating shaft of the motor passes through the pool body and is connected to the rotating shaft. Several sets of rollers are arranged inside the storage basin through the rotating shaft, driving gears and driven gears cooperating with the motor to rotate.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a placement mechanism is provided at the top of the cleaning tank. The placement mechanism includes a crossbar and a support. A sliding rod is provided inside the crossbar. A cleaning basin is provided at the bottom of the support. A slider is provided at the bottom and corner of the support.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the slider is slidably disposed inside the crossbeam, the bottom of the slider is provided with an arc-shaped groove that engages with the slide rod, the bottom of the slider is slidably disposed on the slide rod through the arc-shaped groove, and the bracket is erected on the upper end of the two sets of crossbeams.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: both sets of faucets are connected to water pipes, and drain valves are provided at the bottom of both the washing tank and the drying tank.
[0012] The above technical solution involves placing the food to be cleaned inside the cleaning tank, placing a support frame on top of two sets of horizontal supports, and having the slider at the bottom of the horizontal supports engage with the sliding rod via an arc groove, allowing the slider to slide left and right along the horizontal supports. A cleaning basin is placed inside the cleaning tank, and workers can use the slider to move the cleaning basin left and right within the tank along the horizontal supports, preventing the basin from obstructing the food inside.

[0013] After cleaning, the food is placed inside the storage basin. The motor is started, causing a set of rotating shafts to rotate. When these shafts rotate, they drive the driving or driven gears located on them. Since several sets of driving and driven gears are meshed together, the above operation allows several sets of driving and driven gears to rotate simultaneously. This, in turn, drives the rollers to rotate inside the storage basin, thus turning the food inside. Then, a fan is started to blow air onto the food inside the storage basin to dry it. Multiple foods can be dried simultaneously through air drying. Furthermore, since the washing tank is equipped with a drying mechanism, no additional device is needed to dry the cleaned food, effectively reducing costs and improving work efficiency.

The cleaning basin 8 is placed inside the cleaning tank 2. Workers can use the slider 9 to push the cleaning basin 8 left and right within the cleaning tank 2 along the horizontal supports 6, preventing the cleaning basin 8 from obstructing the food inside the cleaning tank 2 and allowing it to be placed in a convenient position for work. Then, workers place the initially cleaned food inside the cleaning basin 8 and rinse it with water from the faucet 3 to remove residual wastewater and detergent from the food surface, making the food cleaner. The rinse water flows into the cleaning tank 2 for further initial cleaning of the food, which is convenient and eliminates the need for frequent water changes inside the cleaning tank 2, effectively improving work efficiency and saving water. The cleaned food is placed inside the storage basin 11. The motor 16 is started to rotate a set of rotating shafts 12. When the rotating shafts 12 rotate, they drive the driving gears 14 or driven gears 15 located on them to rotate. Since several sets of driving gears 14 and driven gears 15 are meshed together, through the above operation, several sets of driving gears 14 and driven gears 15 can rotate simultaneously. In turn, the rotating shafts 12 drive the rollers 13 to rotate inside the storage basin 11, thereby turning the food inside the storage basin 11. Then, the fan 17 is started to blow air on the food inside the storage basin 11 to dry it. Multiple foods can be dried at the same time by air drying. Moreover, the washing tank is equipped with a drying mechanism 10, eliminating the need for additional devices to dry the cleaned food, effectively reducing costs and improving work efficiency.
