During normal use, the stainless steel adjustable feet are in contact with the ground to support the support frame, and the casters are raised. When it is necessary to move the housing 1, the stainless steel adjustable feet are rotated towards the support frame, so that the casters contact the ground. The support frame can then be pushed to move the machine, improving efficiency. The machine also includes a pair of conveyor chains 10. 1. A conveyor chain 101 is installed inside the housing 1 and is used to transport square boxes from the inlet to the outlet of the housing 1. A pair of conveyor chains 101 are fixedly connected by multiple conveyor rods. The number of conveyor rods ranges from two to three hundred, preferably one hundred and eighty. During transport, the square box is placed on the conveyor rod with its opening facing down. Push plates are fixedly installed on the conveyor rods to push the square box forward. Multiple push plates are evenly spaced according to the width of the square box. In other words, when the square box is placed on the conveyor rod and positioned between two push plates, it can be reliably moved. 101 and the conveyor rod are collectively referred to as the rod-type conveyor chain 101, with a conveying speed of 5-25 m / min, preferably 14 m / min. A motor assembly for driving the conveyor chain 101 is installed on the housing 1. A first cleaning zone and a second cleaning zone 104 for cleaning the square boxes, and a drying zone 105 for air-drying the square boxes, are arranged sequentially from the inlet to the outlet of the housing 1. A cover 3 is provided on the top of the housing 1 to cover the first cleaning zone 104, the second cleaning zone 104, and the drying zone 105.

At least two sets of first cleaning pipes 2 are fixedly installed in both the first cleaning chamber 102 and the second cleaning chamber 103, preferably two sets. The working section of the conveyor chain 101 passes between the two sets of first cleaning pipes 2. The conveyor chain 101 is divided into an upper section and a lower section. The upper section is used for conveying materials and is called the working section. The lower section moves from the outlet to the inlet and is called the return section. Multiple first nozzles 201 with outlets facing the conveyor chain 101 are fixedly installed on both sets of first cleaning pipes 2. There are two to twenty first nozzles 201, preferably twelve. A first water tank 202 connected to the first cleaning chamber 102 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 1. The first cleaning pipe 2 includes a first branch pipe and a first... The branch pipes are preferably threaded with the first nozzle 201, and multiple first branch pipes are equidistantly arranged, preferably six. That is, twelve first branch pipes are provided in both the first cleaning chamber 102 and the second cleaning chamber 103. The two sets of first branch pipes are connected to the first water tank 202 by water pumps. In use, when the square box is carried into the first cleaning chamber 102 by the conveyor chain 101, the first nozzle 201 of the first cleaning chamber 102 can spray a mixture of cleaning agent onto the inner and outer walls of the square box to achieve the cleaning effect. When it enters the second cleaning chamber 103, the first nozzle 201 in the second cleaning chamber 103 sprays the mixture of cleaning agent onto the inner and outer walls of the square box again for further washing, which helps to improve the cleaning quality. The water after cleaning flows into the first water tank 202 through the bottom of the first cleaning area.
[0029] Reference Figures 1-3, at least two groups of second cleaning pipes 4 are fixedly arranged in the second cleaning area 104, preferably two groups. The working section of the conveying chain 101 passes between the two groups of second cleaning pipes 4. A plurality of second nozzles 401 with outlets facing the conveying chain 101 are fixedly arranged on the two groups of second cleaning pipes 4. The number of second nozzles 401 is two to twenty, preferably twelve. A second water tank 402 connected to the second cleaning area 104 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the box body 1. And the second cleaning area 104 and the second cleaning chamber 103 are separated by a second screen curtain. A water baffle is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the second screen curtain, which can reduce the flow of the mixed liquid in the first cleaning area into the second cleaning area 104 and improve the use effect. The second cleaning pipe 4 is composed of a second branch pipe and a second sub-branch pipe. The second branch pipe is connected to the inside of the second water tank 402 through a water pump. The second nozzle 401 is threadedly connected to the second sub-branch pipe. And the number of second sub-branch pipes is two to twenty, preferably six, and there are twelve in total on the two groups of second sub-branch pipes. When in use, when the conveying chain 101 carries the square box into the second cleaning area 104 from the first cleaning area, the water pump extracts clear water from the second water tank 402 and sprays it onto the square box through the second nozzle 401, which can wash away the residual foam and the like on the square box, reduce the residue and improve the cleaning quality.
[0030] Refer to Figure 5 , mounting frames 7 are slidably arranged on the tops of both the first water tank 202 and the second water tank 402. A filter screen is detachably connected to the mounting frame 7 by bolts. And water inlet pipes 9 and drain pipes 8 with valves are fixedly arranged on both the first water tank 202 and the second water tank 402. When in use, by arranging the mounting frame 7 on the first water tank 202 and setting a filter screen on the mounting frame 7, the water entering the first water tank 202 from the first cleaning area can be filtered, foreign matters such as chili seeds can be filtered out, which is convenient for secondary use.

And temperature gauges for measuring the water temperature are installed on both the first water tank 202 and the second water tank 402.
[0032] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 An air supply pipe 6 is fixedly installed in the drying zone 105. The drying zone 105 and the second cleaning zone 104 are separated by a third mesh curtain. The bottom of the third mesh curtain is not equipped with a water baffle, meaning that water in the drying zone 105 can enter the second cleaning zone 104 and then flow into the second water tank 402. The air supply pipe 6 is provided with two to eight sets, and here, we prefer four sets, all of which are vertical rods. A purge pipe 601 is fixedly installed at both ends of the air supply pipe 6. The working section of the conveyor chain 101 passes between the two sets of purge pipes 601. Here, we fix one set of purge pipes 601 at the top of the air supply pipe 6 and two sets of purge pipes 601 at the bottom of the air supply pipe 6. Two sets of purge pipes 601 are installed at the bottom to improve the drying effect of the inner wall of the box. Multiple third nozzles 602 with outlets facing the conveyor chain 101 are fixedly installed on the purge pipes 601. There are two to ten third nozzles 602, preferably five. A fan 603 for supplying air to the air supply pipe 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body 1. The fan 603 is a vortex fan 603. In use, the conveyor chain 101 carries the square box from the second cleaning area 104 into the drying area 105. The fan 603 is started to provide air to the air supply pipe 6, and then blows it onto the square box through the third nozzles 602. This can dry the water droplets remaining in the square box in time and improve the use effect.
