[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0024] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a fruit and vegetable washing pool in this embodiment includes a washing pool body 5, with two washing chambers 3 reserved inside the washing pool body 5. An inverted U-shaped bracket 2 is installed on the upper side of each washing chamber 3 on the washing pool body 5. A lifting mechanism 1 is installed on the bracket 2, which includes a connecting column 101, an electric push rod 102, a linkage plate 103, and a lifting mesh frame 104. An aeration mechanism 8 is installed on the lower side of each washing chamber 3 on the washing pool body 5. The aeration mechanism 8 includes an aeration pipe frame 801 and an aeration pump 802. During washing, a certain amount of water is first injected into the washing chamber 3, and then the fruits and vegetables to be washed are poured into the washing chamber 3 on the left side of the washing pool body 5. Then, the corresponding aeration pump 802 is started, and after starting, the aeration pump 802 sprays high-pressure gas into the corresponding washing chamber 3 through the aeration pipe frame 801. High-pressure gas entering the cleaning chamber 3 causes the water inside to churn continuously. As the water churns, it washes away dirt and other impurities from the surface of the fruits and vegetables. After the initial cleaning, the linkage plate 103 and the connecting column 101 move upward under the action of the corresponding electric push rod 102. The upward movement of the connecting column 101 causes the lifting mesh frame 104 to rise. After the lifting mesh frame 104 is raised, it lifts the fruits and vegetables that have been initially cleaned in the left cleaning chamber 3 of the cleaning tank 5. When the bottom of the lifting mesh frame 104 is higher than the partition built into the cleaning tank 5, the fruits and vegetables in the lifting mesh frame 104 will fall into another unused cleaning chamber 3 under their own weight, thus realizing the transfer of fruits and vegetables to another cleaning chamber 3. After the transfer, the fruits and vegetables only need to be cleaned in the other cleaning chamber 3 in the same way as described above to complete the cleaning of the fruits and vegetables and the lifting and collection after cleaning.
[0025] like Figures 1-2As shown, in this embodiment, a water supply mechanism 7 is also installed on the outer side wall of the cleaning tank 5. The water supply mechanism 7 includes a water pump 701 and a water inlet pipe 702. A drain pipe 6 is installed on the cleaning tank 5 below the water supply mechanism 7 and directly opposite each cleaning chamber 3. After the water pump 701 is started, it will transport clean water from outside into the cleaning tank 5 through the water inlet pipe 702. The water pump 701 is installed on the cleaning tank 5 by bolts. The water inlet pipe 702 is installed at the outlet of the water pump 701. The water inlet pipe 702 is a T-shaped pipe.
[0026] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, an operation panel 4 is installed on the side of the water supply mechanism 7 on the cleaning tank 5. The operation panel 4 is electrically connected to the electric push rod 102, the water pump 701 and the aeration pump 802. The operation panel 4 mainly controls the coordinated operation of the electric push rod 102, the water pump 701 and the aeration pump 802 by controlling the on and off of the control circuit.
[0027] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the electric actuator 102 is installed at the top center of the bracket 2, and the linkage plate 103 is installed on the telescopic part of the electric actuator 102 by bolts. The electric actuator 102 is mainly used to provide power for the lifting and lowering of the linkage plate 103. While the linkage plate 103 is lifting and lowering, it will use the connecting column 101 to realize the lifting and lowering of the mesh frame 104 as needed. Two connecting columns 101 are welded on both sides of the bottom end of each linkage plate 103. The connecting column 101 passes through the bracket 2 and slides with the bracket 2. The bottom ends of the two connecting columns 101 are connected to a lifting mesh frame 104. The bottom of the lifting mesh frame 104 is an inclined structure, and one side of the lifting mesh frame 104 is an open structure.
[0028] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the aeration pipe frame 801 is installed in the lower part of the cleaning chamber 3, and the aeration pump 802 is installed in the lower part of the outer side wall of the cleaning tank 5. After the aeration pump 802 is started, it blows air into the aeration pipe frame 801. The gas in the aeration pipe frame 801 is sprayed into the water in the cleaning chamber 3, which causes the water to roll. The rolled water will continuously wash the surface of the fruits and vegetables, thereby realizing the automatic cleaning of the fruits and vegetables. The aeration pump 802 is connected to the aeration pipe frame 801 through a pipe. The aeration pipe frame 801 is composed of crisscrossing pipes, and the top of the aeration pipe frame 801 is equipped with a jet nozzle.
[0029] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows: During cleaning, a certain amount of water is first injected into the cleaning chamber 3 using a water pump 701 and an inlet pipe 702. Then, the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned are poured into the cleaning chamber 3 on the left side of the cleaning tank 5. Next, the corresponding aeration pump 802 is started. After the aeration pump 802 is started, it will spray high-pressure gas into the corresponding cleaning chamber 3 through the aeration pipe frame 801. The high-pressure gas entering the cleaning chamber 3 will cause the water in the cleaning chamber 3 to continuously tumble. While the water is tumbling, it will wash away the dirt and other impurities on the surface of the fruits and vegetables. After the initial cleaning, the linkage plate 103 and the connecting column 101 are moved upward under the action of the corresponding electric push rod 102. After the connecting column 101 moves upward, the lifting mesh frame 104 will be raised. After the lifting mesh frame 104 is raised, the fruits and vegetables that have been initially cleaned in the cleaning chamber 3 on the left side of the cleaning tank 5 will be lifted. When the lifting mesh frame 104 is raised... When the bottom is higher than the partition inside the washing tank 5, the fruits and vegetables in the lifting frame 104 will fall into another unused washing chamber 3 under their own weight, thus transferring the fruits and vegetables to the other washing chamber 3. After the transfer, the fruits and vegetables only need to be washed in the other washing chamber 3 in the same way as described above to complete the washing of the fruits and vegetables and the lifting and collection after washing. Due to the action of this washing tank, after the fruits and vegetables are initially washed in one washing chamber 3, they can be lifted and transferred to another washing chamber 3 for washing again under the action of the corresponding lifting mechanism. This effectively avoids the adhesion and residue of impurities on the surface of the fruits and vegetables after washing, thus improving the washing quality of the fruits and vegetables. At the same time, since the entire washing process is carried out automatically, the tedious operation of manual washing is avoided, which not only improves the washing efficiency of fruits and vegetables, but also greatly reduces the labor intensity.
[0030] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
