[0010] In one specific embodiment, the cutter and the groove are located on the same axis, and the nozzles are arranged equidistantly along the length of the horizontal pipe and face the center of the groove.

[0011] In one specific embodiment, the electric push rod drives the cutter to move vertically along the gantry, and the downward stroke of the cutter penetrates the internal space of the groove.

[0012] In one specific embodiment, the water pump supplies water to the U-shaped pipe through a connecting pipe, and the spray direction of the nozzle is aligned with the cutter position in the center of the groove.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a cleaning device for food slices, which has the following advantages:

[0021] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0022] Figures 1-4 In one embodiment of this utility model, a cleaning device for food slicing includes a gantry frame 1, an electric push rod 2 is provided on the inner top surface of the gantry frame 1, a cutter 3 is provided at the bottom of the electric push rod 2, the two ends of the cutter 3 are slidably connected to the inner side wall of the gantry frame 1 through sliders, a base 4 is provided at the bottom of the gantry frame 1, a water tank 5 is provided on one side inside the base 4, a collection box 6 is provided on the other side inside the base 4, and a groove 7 is provided in the middle of the top of the base 4.

[0023] The specific problem addressed in this embodiment is that during the cleaning of the cutting blade, food residue remaining on the blade surface prevents both sides from being thoroughly rinsed, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Furthermore, the wastewater generated during cleaning cannot be collected, causing it to contaminate the blade and affecting its tilting performance. This invention, through the structural design of the groove 7 and symmetrical spray nozzles 13, achieves simultaneous double-sided rinsing of the cutting blade 3, solving the problem of food residue residue remaining on the blade 3 caused by single-sided cleaning in traditional devices. The spray nozzles 13 on both sides of the groove 7 form a wraparound water curtain rinsing path, improving the thoroughness of cleaning. The connection between the trough 14 and the collection box 6 enables directional wastewater recycling, solving the problem of wastewater contaminating the cutting blade 3 and the working environment. The double troughs 14 at the bottom of the groove 7 quickly guide wastewater to the sealed collection box 6, avoiding secondary pollution. Through the synergistic design of a concealable cleaning chamber, a dual-path spray system, and closed-loop wastewater recycling, it achieves both efficient cleaning and pollution prevention, solving the industry pain points of incomplete cleaning and difficult wastewater treatment in food slicing equipment, significantly improving the hygiene quality of slicing operations and equipment maintenance efficiency.

[0024] A water pump 8 is installed on the inner wall of the water tank 5. The outlet end of the water pump 8 is connected to a connecting pipe 9. One end of the connecting pipe 9 is connected to a U-shaped pipe 10. Both ends of the U-shaped pipe 10 are fixedly connected to horizontal pipes 11. Several connecting pipes 12 are installed on one side of the horizontal pipe 11. One end of the connecting pipe 12 passes through the inner wall of the groove 7 and is equipped with a nozzle 13. Both sides of the bottom surface of the groove 7 are provided with a trough 14. The trough 14 is connected to the collection box 6. In this specific embodiment, the electric push rod 2 drives the cutter 3 to move vertically up and down along the gantry 1 to complete the food cutting. After slicing, the water pump 8 is started, which draws water from the water tank 5 and delivers it to the U-shaped pipe 10 through the connecting pipe 9. The water is then diverted from both ends of the U-shaped pipe 10 to the horizontal pipe 11, and then guided through the connecting pipe 12 to the nozzles 13 on both sides of the inner wall of the groove 7 to form a double-sided rinsing of the cutter 3. The wastewater flows into the collection box 6 through the trough 14 at the bottom of the groove 7. The symmetrical layout of the nozzles 13 enables double-sided rinsing of the cutter 3, and the trough 14 is directly connected to the collection box 6 to achieve closed-loop recycling of wastewater.

[0025] In this specific embodiment, slide rail grooves 15 are provided on both sides of the top of the base 4, and the slide rail grooves 15 are slidably connected to the pads 16, with the grooves 7 located in the middle of the gaps in the pads 16.

[0026] The pad 16 slides horizontally by being embedded in the slide rail groove 15 via a bottom slider. When slicing, the pad 16 covers the groove 7 to form a cutting table. When cleaning, the pad 16 is removed to expose the space of the groove 7 for the cutter 3 to enter.

[0027] In this specific embodiment, one end of the U-shaped tube 10 is disposed through the inner wall of the collection box 6, and the nozzles 13 are respectively disposed on the inner walls of the two sides of the groove 7 and are oriented opposite to each other.

[0028] The U-shaped pipe 10 passes through the side wall of the collection box 6 to shorten the pipe laying path. The nozzles 13 on both sides of the groove 7 are symmetrically arranged and the spray direction is opposite to the central axis of the cutter 3 to form a counter-current water flow.

[0029] In this specific embodiment, the cutter 3 and the groove 7 are located on the same axis, and the nozzles 13 are arranged equidistantly along the length of the horizontal tube 11 and face the center of the groove 7;

[0030] When the cutter 3 descends, it is completely aligned with the axis of the groove 7, and the spray trajectory of the nozzles 13, which are equidistantly arranged on the horizontal tube 11, is focused on the cutting edge of the cutter 3 at the center line of the groove 7.

[0031] In this specific embodiment, the electric push rod 2 drives the cutter 3 to move vertically along the gantry 1, and the downward stroke of the cutter 3 penetrates the internal space of the groove 7;

[0032] The electric push rod 2 drives the cutter 3 to move down until it penetrates the internal space of the groove 7, so that the water flow from the nozzle 13 completely covers the upper and lower edges of the cutter 3.

[0033] In this specific embodiment, the water pump 8 supplies water to the U-shaped pipe 10 through the connecting pipe 9, and the spray direction of the nozzle 13 is aligned with the cutter 3 position in the middle of the groove 7.

[0034] The water pump 8 pressurizes the water flow through the connecting pipe 9 and injects it into the U-shaped pipe 10, where it is evenly distributed to the two horizontal pipes 11. The nozzle 13 is tilted and aligned with the cutter 3 in the middle of the groove 7 to form a high-impact water jet.

[0035] Working principle: During slicing, the pad 16 covers the groove 7 to form a cutting station. The food is placed on the pad 16 and cut by the cutter 3. During cleaning, the pad 16 is removed to expose the groove 7. The electric push rod 2 drives the cutter 3 to move down into the groove 7. The water pump 8 draws water from the water tank 5 and delivers it through the connecting pipe 9 to the U-shaped pipe 10, which then distributes it to the horizontal pipes 11 on both sides. The water is then guided through the connecting pipe 12 to the nozzles 13 on both sides of the inner wall of the groove 7 to form a double-sided flushing of the cutter 3. The wastewater flows into the collection box 6 through the trough 14 at the bottom of the groove 7 for recycling.
