[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] This embodiment proposes a cleaning mechanism for a cooking device, which is a horizontal cooking pot in the prior art. (Refer to...) Figure 5 In existing technology, the horizontal cooking pot is axially horizontally arranged. The cooking pot body 19 has an external pipe for connecting to a steam generator. Steam generated by the steam generator enters the interior of the cooking pot body 19 to cook the Poria cocos. The cooking pot body 19 is equipped with a material cart for holding the Poria cocos. The material cart has wheels at its bottom, and a guide rail 18 is installed inside the cooking pot body 19. The guide rail 18 matches the wheels of the material cart and guides the material cart, facilitating feeding and discharging of the cooking pot body 19. The cleaning mechanism of this cooking device is used for cleaning the horizontal cooking pot.

[0023] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cleaning mechanism in this embodiment includes a base 1, a fixed sleeve 3 on the upper part of the base 1, and a rotating sleeve 4 on the outside of the fixed sleeve 3. The rotating sleeve 4 is coaxially rotatably connected to the fixed sleeve 3. A spray ring 5 is provided on the outside of the rotating sleeve 4, and the inner wall of the spray ring 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 4 by a connecting rod 41. The spray ring 5 is an annular tube, and a plurality of first spray heads 51 are provided on the inner side of the spray ring 5, and the plurality of first spray heads 51 are evenly distributed around the spray ring 5.

[0024] Furthermore, a rotating guide tube 9 is provided inside the fixed sleeve 3, and the rotating guide tube 9 is rotatably connected to the fixed sleeve 3. One end of the rotating guide tube 9 is rotatably connected to a connector 91, which is fixedly located at the front end of the fixed sleeve 3. The other end of the rotating guide tube 9 is fixedly connected to a spray pipe 6, which is used to connect the rotating guide tube 9 and the spray ring 5.

[0025] The aforementioned connector 91 is a liquid rotary connector. The fixed part of connector 91 is fixedly connected to the fixed sleeve 3, and the rotating part of connector 91 is connected to the rotary conduit 9. Connector 91 is used to connect an external water pipe, preferably a rubber hose. The water pipe can be equipped with a water pump to guide water into the rotary conduit 9. The water can then enter the spray pipe 6 and the spray ring 5 from the rotary conduit 9 to achieve spraying.

[0026] Furthermore, four pulleys 2 are provided at the bottom of the base 1, and the pulleys 2 are connected to the base 1 via a third bracket 21. The positions of the pulleys 2 match the guide rails 18 inside the cooking pot body 19. When the pulleys 2 are installed on the guide rails 18 inside the cooking pot body 19, the spray ring 5, the rotating sleeve 4, and the fixed sleeve 3 are coaxially arranged with the cooking pot body 19. The first spray head 51 on the spray ring 5 is used for cleaning the sides of the cooking pot body 19, and the second spray head 61 is provided on the side of the spray pipe 6 for cleaning the end faces of the cooking pot body 19. This cleaning mechanism can move along the guide rails 18 inside the cooking pot body 19 to perform a more comprehensive rinsing of the inner wall of the cooking pot body 19.

[0027] One end of the spray ring 5 is fixedly connected to a gear ring 7, which is an external gear ring. A first gear 8 is rotatably connected to the base 1. The first gear 8 meshes with the gear ring 7 and is used to drive the gear ring 7 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating sleeve 4, the spray pipe 6 and the spray ring 5, resulting in better cleaning effect of the spray pipe 6 and the spray ring 5.

[0028] Furthermore, a first support 12 is provided at the lower part of the base 1. The first support 12 is rotatably connected to a first connecting shaft 13. One end of the first connecting shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the pulley 2, and the other end of the first connecting shaft 13 is fixedly connected to a third gear 14. A second support 15 is also provided at the lower part of the base 1. The second support 15 is rotatably connected to a second connecting shaft 16. The second connecting shaft 16 is perpendicular to the first connecting shaft 13. One end of the second connecting shaft 16 is fixedly connected to a first gear 8, and the other end of the second connecting shaft 16 is fixedly connected to a second gear 17. Both the third gear 14 and the second gear 17 are bevel gears, and the third gear 14 meshes with the second gear 17.

[0029] When the material rack moves on the guide rail 18, the pulley 2 rotates, the first connecting shaft 13 and the third gear 14 rotate with the pulley 2, the third gear 14 rotates with the second gear 17, causing the first gear 8 to rotate, and the first gear 8 drives the rotation of the spray pipe 6 and the spray ring 5 to achieve rotational spraying.

[0030] This cleaning mechanism also includes a push rod 11, see reference. Figure 3 The push rod 11 has a threaded hole 111 at its end, and the base 1 has a connecting seat 10 at its end. A threaded connecting rod is mounted on the connecting seat 10, and the end of the threaded connecting rod has an external thread that matches the internal thread of the threaded hole 111. (Reference) Figure 4 When the cleaning mechanism enters the guide rail 18, the push rod 11 can be threaded to the connecting seat 10. The staff can push and pull the cleaning mechanism through the push rod 11, so that the cleaning mechanism can move along the guide rail 18 to thoroughly clean the inner wall of the cooking pot 19.

[0031] In this embodiment, the end of the push rod 11 away from the threaded hole 111 is provided with an anti-slip sleeve, which makes it easy for staff to handle.

[0032] The working process of the cleaning mechanism of the cooking device in this embodiment:

[0033] First, connect the water pipe to connector 91, install the cooking device on guide rail 18 (i.e., match pulley 2 with guide rail 18), and thread push rod 11 to connector 10. The water pump operates, guiding water into rotating guide tube 9. Water can then enter spray pipe 6 and spray ring 5 from rotating guide tube 9, achieving spraying from the first spray head 51 and the second spray head 61; (Refer to...) Figure 4 The staff pushes and pulls the cleaning mechanism with the push rod 11, so that the cleaning mechanism can move along the guide rail 18 to clean the inner wall of the cooking pot 19. During the movement of the cleaning mechanism, the pulley 2 rotates, which causes the first gear 8 to rotate. The first gear 8 drives the spray pipe 6 and the spray ring 5 to rotate, realizing rotational spraying and improving the cleaning effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism is an external mechanism independent of the horizontal cooking pot. One cleaning mechanism can be matched with multiple horizontal cooking pots inside the production workshop to clean the multiple horizontal cooking pots respectively.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
