[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0018] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a vortex cleaning machine includes a cleaning chamber 1 and a lifting structure 2. The symmetrical side walls of the cleaning chamber are provided with a plurality of upper spray nozzles 3 and a plurality of lower spray nozzles 4. In this embodiment, the cleaning chamber is a conventional structure of the prior art, and its upper spray nozzles and lower spray nozzles can be on the same straight line. Furthermore, lower spray pipes 5 and upper spray pipes 6 are respectively fixed to the symmetrical outer walls of the cleaning chamber. During connection, the upper spray nozzles on the same side are connected to the upper spray pipe, and the lower spray nozzles on the same side are connected to the lower spray pipe. The upper spray nozzles on the same side can be connected and controlled through the upper spray pipe, and the lower spray nozzles on the same side can be connected and controlled through the lower spray pipe.

[0019] When in use, it can be adjusted as needed. For example, in the first case, the upper spray nozzles on the symmetrical side walls of the cleaning box spray at the same time, which can realize the water flow that simulates human hand rubbing to achieve cleaning. It can not damage the surface of leafy vegetables and is suitable for cleaning all materials that float on the water surface. In the second scenario, the lower spray nozzles on the symmetrical side walls of the cleaning chamber spray simultaneously, causing the opposing water flow to flush up the material that has sunk to the bottom. Under the action of the central flow-changing strip, the material is propelled upwards from the center during cleaning. Upon reaching the water surface, it is subjected to bidirectional convection due to the inertia of the water flow, before sinking back into the water. This process, through the flow-changing strip, creates a cyclical cleaning action with opposing small vortices. In the third scenario, the upper spray nozzle on the left side and the lower spray nozzle on the right side of the cleaning chamber operate, forming a large vortex circulation cleaning method within the cleaning chamber, which is suitable for cleaning materials that are semi-floating in water. In the fourth scenario, the upper and lower spray nozzles on the symmetrical sidewalls are fully open, providing both a rubbing and vortex cleaning effect, suitable for cleaning materials that float on the water surface or are partially submerged.

[0020] In this embodiment, a partition 7 parallel to the bottom wall of the cleaning chamber is fixed to the lower part of the cleaning chamber. A flow-changing strip 8 is provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the partition. The cross-section of the flow-changing strip is an inverted V-shaped protrusion with the center bulging upwards. The inverted V-shaped protrusion is parallel to the upper spray pipe. A guide mesh 9 is provided on the bottom surface of the partition. The bottom end of the lifting structure cooperates with the end of the partition. The flow-changing strip is mainly used to guide the cleaning material to the partition, and the guide mesh is used to settle impurities to the bottom of the cleaning chamber, which facilitates impurity sedimentation and fruit and vegetable cleaning operations.

[0021] In this embodiment, a circulating filter water tank 10 is provided at one end of the cleaning tank; a circulating water pump 11 is fixed at the bottom of the cleaning tank, the input end of the circulating water pump is connected to the circulating filter water tank, and the outlet end of the circulating water pump is connected to the upper spray pipe and the lower spray pipe respectively through a three-way interface. The circulating filter water tank is mainly used for reuse after filtration by the circulating water pump, thereby saving resources, and can also increase the spray water pressure in the upper and lower spray pipes, which is beneficial to the cleaning operation.

[0022] In this embodiment, a flow channel 12 is provided between the lower part of the end wall of the cleaning tank and the circulating filter water tank, and a drain pipe 13 is provided on the bottom wall of the cleaning tank, with a control valve installed on the drain pipe. The drain pipe facilitates sewage discharge, and the flow channel facilitates water return to the circulating filter water tank.

[0023] Furthermore, in this embodiment, both the upper and lower spray pipes are equipped with solenoid valves at their inlet ends; simultaneously, a rotatable control box 15 is connected to the cleaning tank via a support arm 14, and the rotatable control box is connected to the solenoid valves and the circulating water pump. The rotatable control box contains a control circuit board and corresponding control switches, which are conventional structures in the prior art and are simply applied; therefore, they are not described in detail.

[0024] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the lifting structure includes a lifting bracket 21, a lifting mesh belt 22 fixed on the lifting bracket, and a lifting drive motor 23 disposed on the lifting bracket and connected to the lifting mesh belt; the rotatable control box is connected to the lifting drive motor. This can improve the effectiveness and stability of the lifting.

[0025] Furthermore, a gantry-style clean water spray frame 24 is fixed to the middle of the lifting support, and a spray head is provided on the bottom surface of the gantry-style clean water spray frame; an external clean water connection port 25 connected to the spray head is fixed to the side of the gantry-style clean water spray frame. During lifting, a clean water spraying operation is performed, thereby enhancing the effectiveness and quality of the cleaning process and improving its applicability.

[0026] In this embodiment, the connection between the washing chamber and the lifting bracket allows for the removal of the central mesh plate 16. During use, when the central mesh plate is removed, the raw materials in the washing chamber enter the lifting structure for lifting. This allows for isolation during washing, ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of the washing process. Furthermore, after removal, easily washable fruits and vegetables can enter the lifting structure for lifting, making it highly versatile.

[0027] In this embodiment, the circulating filter water tank is located below the lifting structure, and a spray nozzle 17 is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning tank away from the lifting structure; the spray nozzle is connected to the circulating water pump. This not only allows for spray cleaning but also facilitates rinsing the cleaned fruits and vegetables into the lifting structure, ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of the lifting structure.

[0028] In this embodiment, a clean water faucet 18 is provided on the upper part of the cleaning tank. This facilitates the addition of clean water, ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of the cleaning process.

[0029] In this embodiment, the bottom of the cleaning tank is fixed with wheels 19 and supporting lifting feet 20. This facilitates relocation and also provides support and positioning when not in use, ensuring stability and reliability at the corresponding position.

[0030] This invention has several advantages: Its structure is rationally designed, with several upper and lower spray nozzles on the symmetrical side walls of the cleaning chamber; lower and upper spray pipes are fixed to the symmetrical outer walls of the cleaning chamber, and in conjunction with a circulating filter tank and a circulating water pump, it can achieve spray cleaning operations at different positions by controlling the upper and lower spray pipes on the symmetrical walls of the cleaning chamber. The sprayed water flow can form a vortex within the cleaning chamber, allowing for cleaning of fruits and vegetables in various conditions, improving cleaning efficiency and quality without damaging the surface of the fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, the lifting structure allows for repeated use, and the circulating filter tank helps save costs. It is convenient to use and highly applicable.

[0031] The standard parts used in this embodiment can be purchased directly from the market, and the non-standard structural parts described in the instruction manual can also be processed without any doubt based on existing technical common sense. At the same time, the connection methods of each component adopt mature conventional methods in the existing technology, and the machinery, parts and equipment all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, so they will not be described in detail here.

Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all embodiments here.
