Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to dishwashers, and more particularly to a continuous dishwasher with an automatic slag removal soaking tank. Background Technology
[0002] A dishwasher is a device that automatically cleans tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes, knives, and forks. Fully automatic dishwashers on the market can be divided into two categories: household and commercial. Household fully automatic dishwashers are only suitable for home use and mainly include cabinet-style, countertop-style, sink-integrated, and combined models. Commercial dishwashers can be classified into five main categories according to their structure: cabinet-style, hood-style, basket-type, belt-type, and ultrasonic. They reduce the labor intensity of kitchen staff in restaurants, hotels, and government canteens, improve work efficiency, and enhance hygiene.
[0003] Traditional dishwasher processes have the following drawbacks: 1. They require manual pre-washing and placement of tableware at the entrance, which is inefficient; 2. The bubble tank can only perform preliminary cleaning and cannot automatically separate residue; 3. There are many manual intervention steps, which can easily create unsanitary areas. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a continuous dishwasher with an automatic residue-removing soaking tank, which has a built-in water circulation system to automatically separate food residue; the tableware can be directly poured into the soaking tank to achieve continuous operation of "pour in and start".
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A continuous dishwasher with an automatic slag removal soaking tank includes a filter tank, a soaking section, a main washing section, a rinsing section, a drying section, and an outlet end connected in sequence. Conveyor chains are located within the soaking section, main washing section, rinsing section, drying section, and outlet end. The conveyor chain in the soaking section is lower than the conveyor chains in the main washing section, rinsing section, drying section, and outlet end. The soaking section contains a soaking tank with an overflow outlet connected to the filter tank. A filter screen is located between the overflow outlet and the filter tank. The filter tank is connected to a main pipeline, which is connected to branch pipelines. A water pump is installed on the main pipeline. There are two or more branch pipelines located above the soaking section, each with a spray nozzle facing the soaking section.
[0006] In the aforementioned continuous dishwasher with an automatic slag removal soaking tank, a bubble tube is installed below the conveyor chain in the soaking tank. The number of bubble tubes is greater than or equal to 2, and the bubble tubes have bubble holes. The bubble tubes are connected to an air pipe, and an air pump is installed on the air pipe.
[0007] In the aforementioned continuous dishwasher with an automatic slag removal soaking tank, the main washing section has a washing tank containing several washing pipes with washing holes. The washing pipes are connected to the water tank via a water pump. The washing pipes are arranged in rows along the horizontal direction and in at least two rows along the vertical direction. The washing pipes in each row are parallel to each other and are staggered.
[0008] In the aforementioned continuous dishwasher with an automatic slag removal soaking tank, the cleaning holes face downwards at an angle, and the cleaning holes of the upper cleaning pipe and the cleaning holes of the lower cleaning pipe are arranged at an intersection angle.
[0009] In the aforementioned continuous dishwasher with an automatic slag removal soaking tank, the conveyor chain includes two drive belts, and several rotating shafts are located between the two drive belts. The rotating shafts are connected to the two drive belts. A material guiding structure is provided on the rotating shafts. The material guiding structure includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate. The two ends of the first connecting plate are provided with mounting holes. The rotating shafts pass through the mounting holes. Two rotating shafts passing through the two mounting holes of the same first connecting plate are two adjacent rotating shafts. The second connecting plate is connected to the middle of the first connecting plate and is located on the side of the conveyor chain that contacts the tableware.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model features a built-in water circulation system that automatically separates food residue; tableware is directly poured into the soaking tank, achieving continuous operation with "pour-in and start-up". After the tableware is cleaned in the soaking tank, it is automatically conveyed by a chain to the main washing area → rinsing area → drying area → outlet; eliminating manual handling and forming a closed-loop cleaning line. The main washing section adopts a three-dimensional high-pressure spray structure to cover all surfaces of the tableware; combined with the uniform speed movement of the chain, it ensures no blind spots in cleaning.

[0020] The working principle of one embodiment of this utility model is as follows: The tableware to be cleaned is placed on the conveyor chain 8 in the soaking section 2. Under the action of the water pump 19, the water in the filter tank 1 is sprayed onto the tableware to be cleaned through the spray nozzle 15, rinsing away the residue on the tableware. The liquid level in the soaking section 2 rises accordingly, and then flows from the overflow port 17 to the filter screen 10. The residue is left on the filter screen 10, and the water is replenished into the filter tank.
[0021] Meanwhile, under the action of the air pump 11, bubbles emerge from the bubble holes 14 and carry away the residue on the tableware to be cleaned as they pass over it.
[0022] Under the action of the conveyor chain 8, the tableware enters the main washing section 3. The water jets sprayed from the washing pipe wash the washing pipe from different angles, covering all surfaces of the tableware, achieving thorough washing. Then, it enters the rinsing section 4 to rinse off any washing machine residue on the tableware. After passing through the drying section 5, the water on the tableware is dried, and finally it is transported to the outlet 6.
[0023] Compared with existing technologies, this application has the following advantages: 1. Labor saving: Eliminating the manual pre-washing and placement process reduces labor costs by 60%; 2. Efficiency improvement: The continuous operation design enables a cleaning capacity of 2000 pieces / hour; 3. Cleaning quality: Bubble descaling + no dead angle spraying improves cleanliness by 40%; 4. Hygiene guarantee: The fully enclosed process avoids secondary pollution.
