Slot 5 is located on one side of the top of workbench 1; The cleaning box 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the workbench 1, and the cleaning box 6 is connected to the through groove 5. A water pipe 7 is rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of the cleaning box 6, and multiple nozzles 8 are provided on the outer wall of the water pipe 7. An incomplete gear 9 is fixedly installed at one end of the outer wall of the water pipe 7, and one end of the water pipe 7 movably passes through the cleaning box 6. A motor 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning box 6, and a gear 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 10. The gear 11 and the incomplete gear 9 are meshed together. Water supply mechanism 13 is located on the other side of the bottom of workbench 1.

[0018] The technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: By activating the electric push rod 2, the electric push rod 2 pushes the punching needle 4 on the moving plate 3 downward to punch holes in the food. The moving mechanism 12 drives the punching needle 4 to move towards the through groove 5. When the punching needle 4 moves directly above the through groove 5, the electric push rod 2 is activated again, pushing the punching needle 4 on the moving plate 3 downward, so that the punching needle 4 extends into the interior of the cleaning box 6. At the same time, the moving plate 3 contacts the workbench 1, so that the through groove 5 is in a closed state, preventing water from splashing everywhere when cleaning the punching needle 4, and preventing the punching needle 4 from being used unnecessarily. When dust contaminates the punch 4, water is supplied to the water pipe 7 through the water supply mechanism 13, and the water is sprayed out through the nozzle 8 on the water pipe 7 to clean the punch 4. At the same time, the motor 10 is started, which drives the gear 11 to rotate and the incomplete gear 9 connected to the gear 11 to rotate. This causes the water pipe 7 to rotate axially left and right inside the cleaning box 6, so that the nozzle 8 can clean the punch 4 more thoroughly. This achieves the purpose of cleaning the punch 4 and effectively prevents the problem of food residue remaining on the punch 4 and causing bacteria to grow.

[0019] It should be noted that by setting the motor 10 to rotate in both forward and reverse directions, rotating forward half a turn and then in reverse half a turn, the water pipe 7 is driven to rotate axially left and right inside the cleaning box 6.

The sealing cap 15 is used to seal the water injection pipe 14 to prevent dust from entering the inside of the water tank 130.

[0024] Furthermore, two slide rails 16 are fixedly installed on the top of the worktable 1; The skateboard 17 is slidably connected to two slide rails 16, and the top of the skateboard 17 is provided with multiple perforated areas 18.

[0025] Specifically, the food is placed on the punching area 18, and then the slide plate 17 is moved under the punching needle 4 via the slide rail 16, and then the food is punched.

[0026] Furthermore, the drain pipe 19 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the water tank 130; Valve 20 is located on the outer wall of drain pipe 19.

[0027] Specifically, by opening valve 20, the water sprayed from the cleaning punch 4 is discharged through drain pipe 19.

[0028] Example 2 Based on Embodiment 1, in this embodiment: the moving mechanism 12 includes: Two sliders 120 are arranged opposite each other on the top of the workbench 1. A U-shaped plate 121 is fixedly installed on the top of the two sliders 120. The inner top wall of the U-shaped plate 121 is connected to the two electric push rods 2.
