[0037] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0038] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides the following solution:

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, a fruit and vegetable washing machine includes a washing body 1, a stirring component 2, a purification component 3, and a perforated cover 4, as described in detail below:

[0040] like Figure 3As shown, the cleaning body 1 includes a housing 101 and an electrode plate holder 102. The housing 101 has an internal cavity and an open top. The electrode plate holder 102 is detachably and fixedly installed on the top of the housing 101 to seal the open top of the housing 101. The seal ensures that water will not enter the internal cavity of the housing 101, so as to ensure that the components inside the internal cavity of the housing 101 will not be damaged by water immersion. The detachable connection between the housing 101 and the electrode plate holder 102 includes, but is not limited to, fixing with bolts or threaded knobs.

[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, the inner cavity of the housing 101 is equipped with at least the drive assembly 10 and the control assembly.

[0042] The control component is used to operate the fruit and vegetable washing machine. The control component includes at least a circuit board 12 and a button 7. The circuit board 12 is equipped with a micro switch. The button 7 works in conjunction with the circuit board 12 to control the operation of the fruit and vegetable washing machine, such as controlling the opening and closing of the fruit and vegetable washing machine. The above technical means are commonly used in small household appliances, so their specific structure and principle will not be described in detail.

[0043] like Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the control component also includes a display screen 8, which is electrically connected to the circuit board 12. The display screen 8 has functions such as setting and displaying "vegetables", "meat", "fruit" and "aquatic products". The cleaning mode can be switched by button 7 and displayed on the display screen 8 to achieve a better interactive experience.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, the specific installation of the control components is described as follows: Circuit board 12 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of housing 101 by screws 16. The side wall of housing 101 has a mounting groove 14 for the installation of button 7 and display screen 8. Button 7 is installed on the outside of mounting groove 14 and passes through mounting groove 14 to the inside of housing 101. The micro switch of circuit board 12 faces button 7 for matching button 7. Display screen 8 is installed on the outside of mounting groove 14 and a sealing ring 13 is provided between display screen 8 and mounting groove 14 to waterproof the installation of display screen 8. In addition, display screen 8 has a ring structure surrounding the button 7 and is installed independently, which improves the aesthetics of display screen 8 after installation.

[0045] like Figure 6 and 7As shown, the drive assembly 10 includes a motor 1001 and a reduction gearbox 1002. The reduction gearbox 1002 is located on the output end side of the motor 1001. The reduction gearbox 1002 has a cylindrical housing structure, and the axis of the cylindrical housing is coaxial with the axis of the motor 1001. The lower end of the reduction gearbox 1002 is fixedly installed with the housing of the motor 1001 or is an integral structure. The upper end is provided with a removable sealing cover. The output shaft of the motor 1001 passes through the reduction gearbox 1002 to the inner cavity of the reduction gearbox 1002. A first gear 17 is coaxially fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the motor 1001, and the first gear 17 is located in the inner cavity of the reduction gearbox 1002. A second gear 18 is also rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the reduction gearbox 1002. The third gear 19 and the fourth gear 20, the second gear 18, the third gear 19 and the fourth gear 20 are sequentially meshed and connected, and the second gear 18 is also meshed and connected with the first gear 17. The upper end of the fourth gear 20 is also coaxially connected to a rotating shaft 21. The end of the rotating shaft 21 passes through the sealing cover of the reduction gearbox 1002 to its outside. The top end of the rotating shaft 21 is also coaxially provided with a threaded rod 22 for matching with the stirring component 2, so as to realize the threaded detachable installation of the stirring component 2. The meshing of the first gear 17, the second gear 18, the third gear 19 and the fourth gear 20 realizes the rotation reduction of the motor 1001, and the multi-gear meshing enhances the torque, improves the stirring force of the stirring component 2 to stir the water and improves the overall stability.

[0046] It should be noted that gear meshing to achieve speed reduction is a conventional existing technology, so the size of the gears will not be described in detail. The number of gears is not limited, but at least three are required to increase torque. The gearbox 1002 is designed with a cylindrical structure and is coaxially located at the output end of the motor 1001, which reduces the floor space of the gearbox 1002 and thus reduces the overall size of the fruit and vegetable washing machine to a certain extent, thereby reducing costs.

[0047] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, a through hole is coaxially opened in the middle of the electrode plate support 102 for the threaded rod 22 to pass through coaxially. A lip seal 11 is fitted on the outside of the rotating shaft 21 to seal the through hole in the middle of the electrode plate support 102 and to provide waterproofing.

[0048] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a perforated cover 4 is fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the top end face of the electrode plate support 102. A purification chamber is formed between the top end face of the electrode plate support 102 and the perforated cover 4. The purification component 3 is installed in the purification chamber. The fixing of the perforated cover 4 includes, but is not limited to, ultrasonic fixing. The perforated cover 4 plays a protective role for the purification component 3, preventing fruits and vegetables from contacting the purification component 3 and causing damage to the purification component 3.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the perforated cover 4 includes a cover body 401 and an annular support 402. The cover body 401 has an annular structure and only has a top wall and an outer wall. Both the top wall and the outer wall of the cover body 401 have a perforated structure. The annular support 402 is located in the lower inner part of the cover body 401, and there is a gap between the annular support 402 and the side wall of the cover body 401 for the placement of the purification component 3. The annular support 402 and the cover body 401 are fixedly connected by multiple pillars 9. The inner side of the perforated cover 4 is divided into multiple openings by multiple pillars 9, and the number of pillars 9 does not exceed 4. The perforated design of the perforated cover 4 and the opening design of the inner side are for water circulation to contact the purification component 3.

[0050] The purification component 3 uses an electrode plate, which has a ring structure and is fixed to the outer top of the electrode plate bracket 102 with screws 16. When disassembling, simply insert a screwdriver through the perforated hole of the perforated cover 4 and unscrew the screws 16 to remove the electrode plate. The detachable installation of the electrode plate facilitates replacement of damaged electrode plates or deep cleaning. Other fixing methods can also be used to fix the electrode plate.

[0051] Purification component 3 is an electrode plate. When the fruit and vegetable washing machine is placed in water, the electrode plate ionizes the water, generating hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions, thereby producing hydroxyl radicals. The strong oxidizing power of hydroxyl radicals kills bacteria and removes pesticide residues, thus purifying and cleaning fruits and vegetables.

[0052] The stirring component 2 includes a rotating plate 201 and blades 202. The rotating plate 201 is a circular plate, and multiple blades 202 are arranged on the upper surface of the rotating plate 201. The multiple blades are arranged in a ring array with the center of the rotating plate 201 as the center. The rotating plate 201 and the blades 202 are an integral structure. The bottom of the rotating plate 201 is provided with a threaded sleeve. The stirring component 2 is located inside the hollow cover 4, and the stirring component 2 is detachably installed by screwing the threaded sleeve onto the threaded rod 22. The stirring component 2 is driven to rotate by the driving component 10. The rotation of the stirring component 2 drives the water flow. The electrode plates diffuse the hydroxyl radicals generated by water ionization with the water flow, thereby enhancing the ionization purification efficiency.

[0053] It should be noted that the stirring element 2 is located inside the perforated cover 4. The stirring element 2 agitates the water flow to spread outward. The water flow can directly pass through the purification element 3, which improves the diffusion efficiency of hydroxyl radicals and thus improves the purification efficiency. Furthermore, the water flow passing through the purification element 3 and the perforated cover 4 can achieve the rinsing and cleaning of the purification element 3 and the perforated cover 4, thus achieving the self-cleaning of the purification element 3 and the perforated cover 4.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a battery 15, which supplies power to all electrical components inside the fruit and vegetable washing machine.

[0055] like Figure 1 and 6As shown, it also includes a wireless charging module, which includes a wireless charging base 5 and a wireless charging coil 6. The wireless charging coil 6 is installed at the bottom of the inner part of the housing 101. The cleaning body 1 is placed on the wireless charging base 5 to wirelessly charge the battery 15. Wireless charging technology is a conventional technical means for those skilled in the art, so the specific structure and principle of the wireless charging base 5, the wireless charging coil 6 and the battery 15 will not be described further.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
