Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable cleaning technology, and in particular to a fruit and vegetable cleaning device with sorting function. Background Technology

[0002] Fruits and vegetables, short for fruits and vegetables. It refers to edible fruits and vegetables, a category of food as opposed to meat. Food purification, disinfection, and sterilization: It can degrade pesticide residues and other toxic substances in vegetables and fruits from the surface inwards, and remove harmful substances such as antibiotics, chemical additives, hormones, and heavy metal ions from meat and seafood. For example, ozone can directly oxidize sticky substances, causing metal particles to detach, effectively removing heavy metal ions from the surface of fruits and vegetables. Ozone can also destroy the biological structure of bacteria, rapidly oxidizing the cell walls of bacteria and viruses to generate inorganic compounds that prevent their survival.

[0003] Patent document CN107114814B discloses a fruit and vegetable cleaning device including a cleaning tank, a driving device, and a cleaning basket. The cleaning tank includes a bottom surface, on which an impeller is disposed. The driving device drives the impeller to rotate. The cleaning basket is disposed in the cleaning tank and includes an inner cavity and an outer cavity. The inner cavity is spaced apart within the outer cavity, and a flow channel is formed between the inner and outer cavities. The flow channel includes a receiving flow channel located at the bottom of the cleaning basket and a conveying flow channel communicating with the receiving flow channel. The impeller is at least partially located in the receiving flow channel. The inner cavity has an outlet located at the top of the cleaning basket, which communicates with the conveying flow channel and faces the bottom surface of the inner cavity. The bottom surface of the inner cavity has a through hole communicating with the receiving flow channel. In the fruit and vegetable cleaning device of this invention, the fluid (such as water) in the receiving flow channel forms a downward flushing fluid to clean the fruits and vegetables, and forms a fluid circulation. This avoids the formation of fluid accumulation effects, improves the cleaning effect, and protects the user's health.
