Detailed Implementation
[0019] See Figures 1 to 4As shown, a dish cleaner includes a fixing component and a cleaning component. The fixing component includes a base 11 and a cleaning box 12. The base 11 is fixedly disposed, and the cleaning box 12 is fixed to the upper surface of the base 11, and the base 11 and the cleaning box 12 are connected. The cleaning component includes a filter plate 21 and a brush plate 22. The cross-sections of the filter plate 21 and the brush plate 22 are both arc-shaped and concentrically disposed. The filter plate 21 is disposed inside the cleaning box 12, and the brush plate 22 is rotatably disposed above the filter plate 21.
[0020] Specifically, the brush plate 22 can swing periodically above the filter plate 21 under the action of external force, so that the brush plate 22 will repeatedly rub and clean the chopsticks on the filter plate 21, thus achieving automated cleaning and replacing manual hand cleaning.
[0021] It should be noted that the cross-sections of the filter plate 21 and the brush plate 22 are configured as arcs to prevent the chopsticks from coming off the filter plate 21 during repeated rubbing.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, a drive assembly is also included, comprising a motor housing 31, a rotating shaft 32, a support frame 33, a connecting plate 34, and a damping spring 35. The motor housing 31 is fixed to the side wall of the cleaning box 12, and a servo motor is fixed inside the motor housing 31. The rotating shaft 32 is fixed to the output end of the servo motor and rotates through the two side walls of the cleaning box 12. One end of the support frame 33 is fixed to the rotating shaft 32, and the other end of the support frame 33 is fixed to the connecting plate 34. The support frame 33 is disposed above the brush plate 22, and the damping spring 35 is connected between the brush plate 22 and the connecting plate 34.
[0023] It needs to be explained that the servo motor drives the rotating shaft 32 to swing, and the rotating shaft 32 drives the connecting plate 34 to swing through the support frame 33. The connecting plate 34 drives the brush plate 22 to swing through the damping spring 35. Therefore, the brush plate 22 will repeatedly rub and clean the chopsticks on the filter plate 21.
[0024] In addition, the elastic force of the damping spring 35 ensures that the brush plate 22 always exerts a certain pressure on the chopsticks. That is to say, when rubbing initially, the chopsticks that are piled up will gradually disperse on the filter plate 21 under the pressure of the brush plate 22 (i.e., the chopsticks at the top will be gradually squeezed into the gaps between the chopsticks below). Therefore, after repeated rubbing, all the chopsticks will be dispersed on the surface of the filter plate 21 one by one, so that all the chopsticks can come into contact with the brush plate 22, ensuring that each chopstick can be cleaned.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the longitudinal section of the brush plate 22 is configured as a trapezoid.
[0026] In other words, the shape of the space between the brush plate 22 and the filter plate 21 matches the size of the chopsticks, so the brush plate 22 can fully contact the chopsticks, further ensuring that each chopstick can be thoroughly cleaned.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, two sliding grooves 121 are respectively opened on the two side walls of the cleaning box 12, and two guide blocks 211 are fixed at both ends of the filter plate 21. The guide blocks 211 are slidably disposed in the sliding grooves 121. A return spring 41 is connected between the guide blocks 211 and the inner wall of the sliding grooves 121. A sliding column 42 is slidably disposed in the guide blocks 211. A card 43 is fixed on the outer peripheral wall of the sliding column 42. A card slot 44 is opened on the bottom outer peripheral wall of the sliding groove 121. The card 43 is detachably slidably disposed in the card slot 44. A feed inlet 122 is also opened on the side wall of the cleaning box 12.
[0028] It should be noted that during the cleaning of chopsticks, the filter plate 21 is completely placed above the feed inlet 122 to prevent the chopsticks from sliding out of the feed inlet 122.
[0029] Specifically, when feeding the chopsticks, first pull down the two cards 43, then push the two cards 43 into the slot 44 for limiting. At this time, the bottom of the filter plate 21 moves to the bottom of the feed inlet 122. Then, insert the chopsticks to be cleaned into the cleaning box 12, and then pull out the two cards 43. Under the elastic force of the return spring 41, the filter plate 21 moves to the cleaning position again.
[0030] It should be explained that the outer edge of the filter plate 21 is fitted to the inner peripheral wall of the cleaning box 12 to prevent the chopsticks from coming off the surface of the filter plate 21.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, a liquid guide tube 5 is also included, one end of which is connected to the brush plate 22, and the other end passes through the connecting plate 34 and the cleaning box 12 in sequence to connect to the external liquid storage tank. A water pump is provided inside the liquid guide tube 5.
[0032] In other words, under the power of the water pump, the cleaning liquid in the external storage tank will be discharged into the brush plate 22 through the liquid guide pipe 5, and then flow to the multiple cleaning brushes at the bottom of the brush plate 22 for cleaning the chopsticks.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a wastewater tank 13 is movably provided below the base 11 to hold the wastewater after cleaning the chopsticks.
[0034] Specifically, when cleaning a large number of chopsticks, first pull down two cards 43 simultaneously. When the bottom of the filter plate 21 moves below the feed inlet 122, push the two cards 43 into the slots 44. Then, insert the chopsticks to be cleaned into the cleaning box 12 through the feed inlet 122. Then, pull out the two cards 43. Under the elastic force of the return spring 41, the filter plate 21 moves back to the cleaning position. Then, start the servo motor. The servo motor drives the rotating shaft 32 to swing. The rotating shaft 32 drives the connecting plate 34 to swing through the support frame 33. The connecting plate 34 drives the brush plate 22 to swing through the damping spring 35. Therefore, the brush plate 22 will repeatedly rub and clean the chopsticks on the filter plate 21. During this period, the liquid guide tube 5 continuously supplies cleaning liquid into the brush plate 22. After cleaning is completed, pull down the two cards 43 into the two slots 44, and then take out the cleaned chopsticks. This completes one cleaning operation.
[0035] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be primarily defined by the scope of the claims.
