A cleaning trough 17 is provided on one side of the cleaning and disinfection tank 1, and a disinfection trough 16 is provided on the other side of the cleaning and disinfection tank 1, away from the cleaning trough 17. Support rods 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the cleaning and disinfection tank 1. Support blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the support rods 3. A shell 5 is provided above the support blocks 14. A first driving member is provided on one side of the shell 5. A transmission component is connected to the output end of the first driving member. A telescopic member is provided below the transmission component. A food basket 8 is provided below the telescopic member. Disinfection modules are provided on both sides of the disinfection trough 16. A second driving member is provided at one end above the food basket 8. A cleaning rod 11 located inside the food basket 8 is connected to the output end of the second driving member. A drain plate 12 is provided at the bottom of the food basket 8. A holding plate 18 is provided at the bottom of the disinfection trough 16.

[0023] In this embodiment, the ingredients are first placed into the ingredient basket 8 and then lowered into the washing tank 17 by the electric telescopic rod 7 for cleaning. At the same time, the second motor 10 drives the washing rod 11 to thoroughly clean the ingredients. Finally, the ingredients are pulled out of the washing tank 17 by the electric telescopic rod 7 for draining. Then, the first motor 4 drives the lead screw 19 to rotate, which engages with the threaded block 6 to move the ingredient basket 8 above the disinfection tank 16. The ingredients are then lowered into the disinfection tank 16 by the raising and lowering of the electric telescopic rod 7, and the ingredients are disinfected by the ozone generator 15 inside the tank.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-2 In this embodiment, the four end feet of the lower end face of the cleaning and disinfection box 1 are all fixedly connected to the support frame. The cleaning and disinfection box 1 is provided with a water inlet pipe 2 at the front end of the cleaning tank 17, and a drain pipe 13 is provided on one side of the cleaning and disinfection box 1 at the cleaning tank 17. The second driving component includes a second motor 10. The output end of the second motor 10 is connected to a cleaning rod 11. The second motor 10 drives the rotation of the cleaning rod 11 for cleaning the food.

[0025] It should be noted that the water inlet pipe 2 is connected to the water inlet system to ensure the water level inside the cleaning tank 17. The food basket 8 is inserted into the cleaning tank 17 for cleaning. At the same time, the second motor 10 drives the cleaning rod 11 to stir, ensuring that the food is cleaned evenly. Finally, the wastewater is discharged from the drain pipe 13 for subsequent recycling.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, sealing plates 9 are provided on both the left and right sides above the disinfection tank 16. Arc-shaped grooves are opened in the interior of both sealing plates 9. Hinges are provided between the two sealing plates 9 and the cleaning and disinfection box 1. The hinges are used to open and close the two sealing plates 9.

[0027] It should be noted that the sealing plate 9 is in a closed and sealed state when not in use. When in use, it is opened by the hinge, so that the food basket 8 is inserted into the sterilization tank 16, and the arc-shaped groove is just locked onto the outside of the electric telescopic rod 7.

[0028] Please see Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first driving component includes a first motor 4, and the transmission component includes a lead screw 19. The output end of the first motor 4 is connected to the lead screw 19. The first motor 4 drives the lead screw 19 to rotate. The telescopic component includes an electric telescopic rod 7. A threaded block 6 is fixedly connected above the electric telescopic rod 7 and engaged with the outside of the lead screw 19. The rotation of the lead screw 19 drives the threaded block 6 to engage with it and move left and right, thereby driving the displacement of the food basket 8.

[0029] It should be noted that the first motor 4 drives the lead screw 19 to rotate, and the rotation of the lead screw 19 drives the externally fitted threaded block 6 to mesh with it and move, thereby enabling the food basket 8 to move left and right, thus achieving the effect of automation.

[0030] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the disinfection module includes an ozone generator 15, and the ozone generator 15 has an ozone outlet on its surface. The ozone generator 15 is used to disinfect food ingredients.

[0031] It should be noted that the ozone generator 15 is used for disinfecting food. The ozone generator 15 is a gas preparation device that converts oxygen into ozone using a specific technology, and the food is disinfected using this gas.

[0032] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0033] In use, the ingredients are placed in the ingredient basket 8 and then lowered into the washing tank 17 by the electric telescopic rod 7 for cleaning. At the same time, the second motor 10 drives the washing rod 11 to thoroughly clean the ingredients. Finally, the ingredients are pulled out of the washing tank 17 by the electric telescopic rod 7 for draining. Then, the first motor 4 drives the lead screw 19 to rotate, which engages with the threaded block 6 to move the ingredient basket 8 above the disinfection tank 16. The ingredients are then lowered into the disinfection tank 16 by the raising and lowering of the electric telescopic rod 7. The ingredients are then disinfected by the internal ozone generator 15 (the safe use of ozone is subject to clear regulations, and the device has been designed with safety in mind).

[0034] It should be noted that the control method of this utility model is controlled by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by those skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used for cleaning and disinfecting food ingredients, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail here.
