The inside of the fixed block 34 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 35, which serves as the medium connecting the fixed block 34 and the cover 31 and keeps the cover 31 able to rotate. The rear side of the rotating shaft 35 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 36. Both the fixed block 36 and the fixed block 34 serve as supporting components for the cover 31. The right side of the cover 31 is fixedly connected to the linkage assembly 37, and the bottom of the cover 31 is fixedly connected to the drainage assembly 38.

[0036] The linkage component 37 includes a T-shaped block 371, which is connected to the cover plate 31. Its first rotating shaft 35 passes through the bottom and is connected to and rotates with a first fixed block 34 and a second fixed block 36. This component is responsible for opening and closing the cover plate 31. The left side of the T-shaped block 371 is fixedly connected to the right side of the cover plate 31. The T-shaped block 371 is fixed to the first fixed block 34. A second rotating shaft 372 is rotatably connected inside the T-shaped block 371. The second rotating shaft 372, rotating inside the T-shaped block 371, is a connecting rod that provides drainage for the device. A connecting rod 373 is rotatably connected to the outside of the second rotating shaft 372. The connecting rod 373 is connected to the T-shaped block 371 via the second rotating shaft 372. When the cover plate 31 is opened, the connecting rod 373 moves downwards as a whole, and returns to its original position when the cover plate 31 is closed. A fork-shaped lifting block 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 373. 74. The fork-shaped lifting block 374 is separated at both ends, driving the drainage device to open and close evenly from both ends. The drainage component 38 includes a rotating shaft 381. The external part of the rotating shaft 381 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fork-shaped lifting block 374. The fork-shaped lifting block 374 rotates inside the rotating shaft 381 to ensure that the valve 384 will not get stuck. The rotating shaft 381 passes through and connects to the bottom of the fork-shaped lifting block 374. A drain pipe 382 is fixedly connected to the right side of the base 2. The drain pipe 382 is the component responsible for draining sewage after the entire device is cleaned. An arc-shaped groove 383 is opened at the bottom of the drain pipe 382, ​​allowing the rotating shaft 381 to slide inside. A valve 384 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 381. The valve 384 is the component that actually implements the discharge or storage of water from the base 2.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 3The vortex mechanism 4 includes a motor 41, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the base 2. The motor 41 is fixed to the base 2, and its power supply is also connected to the base 2. The motor 41 is connected to the base 2, and its power supply can be provided by an external AC power source, converting electrical energy into rotational energy. The drive end of the motor 41 is connected to a drive plate 42, which rotates using the rotational energy provided by the motor 41, indirectly driving the water flow inside the housing 1 to rotate. The top of the drive plate 42 is fixedly connected to a pulsator 43, which is connected to the drive plate 42. The pulsator 43 generates an outer ring vortex through the drive rotation of the motor 41 to enhance the cleaning of fruits and vegetables. The top of the base 2 is fixedly connected to a washing machine 44, which generates bubbles and sterilizes. The device, in the existing technology, is based on a washing machine 44, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail. The internal drive end of the washing machine 44 is connected to a second drive plate 45, which is driven by the built-in drive source of the washing machine 44. The top of the second drive plate 45 is fixedly connected to a second impeller 46. The second impeller 46 rotates with the second drive plate 45 to generate eddies, which are opposite in direction to the eddies generated by the first impeller 43. The pressure difference between the two inner and outer eddies generates greater fluctuations, which better cleans fruits and vegetables. The top of the washing machine 44 is fixedly connected to a protective cover 47, which covers the washing machine 44 as a protective component. The outside of the washing machine 44 is fixedly connected to an isolation net 48, which is a device to isolate fruits and vegetables from the bottom eddies generated.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The inner wall of T-block 371 contacts the outer side of connecting rod 373. When T-block 371 resets, its inner wall contacts connecting rod 371. The bottom of T-block 371 is rotatably connected to the outside of rotating shaft 35. T-block 371 is connected to cover plate 31 and rotates on fixed block 34 via rotating shaft 35, allowing cover plate 31 to be freely opened and closed manually on housing 1. The inner wall of fixed block 34 contacts the outer side of T-block 371. The inner wall of fixed block 34 can be damped and contacts T-block 371 to ensure the stability of cover plate 31 when opening or closing. The right side of T-block 371 contacts the bottom right side of fixed block 34. When cover plate 31 opens, it drives T-block 371. Rotate 371 until it stops at the limit position on the right side of the fixing block 34. The outside of the valve 384 contacts the inside of the drain pipe 382. When the valve 384 resets, it squeezes the drain pipe 382 to block the water from overflowing from the inside of the housing 1. The outside of the valve 384 is slidably connected to the inside of the arc groove 383. The valve 384 is driven by the fork-shaped lifting block 374 to slide up and down inside the arc groove 383. The inner wall of the base 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the isolation net 48. The outer ring of the isolation net 48 is supported by the base 2. The left side of the fixing block 36 is fixedly connected to the right side of the housing 1. The function of the fixing block 36 is to cooperate with the fixing block 34 to connect to the housing 1 to support the cover plate 31.

[0039] Working principle: When the device is activated, pull up the latch 33 to open the cover 31 and put in the fruits and vegetables. After placement, pull down the latch 33 to close the cover 31. At this time, the cover 31 rotates inward around the pivot 35 and pulls the connecting rod 373 upward. The fork-shaped lifting block 374 is driven by the connecting rod 373 and pulls the valve 384, which is rotatably connected, upward along the arc groove 383 until it is completely inserted into the drain pipe 382, ​​thereby blocking the drain pipe 382. Then, water is added into the housing 1 from the water inlet 32, and the device is activated. When the device is finished using, pull up the latch 33 to open the cover 31. The valve 384 is opened by the reverse steps when the cover 31 is closed, and the water in the housing 1 is discharged through the drain pipe 382.

[0040] When the device is in use, the motor 41 drives the impeller 43 to rotate inside the housing 1, stirring the water inside the housing 1 to generate an outer vortex. Inside the washing machine 44, bubbles and ultraviolet light kill bacteria and pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables. The impeller 46, driven by the drive plate 45, rotates in the opposite direction to the outer vortex inside the washing machine 44, generating an inner vortex. The two opposing vortices in the inner and outer rings enhance the cleaning of mud and dirt that are difficult to remove from the outside of the fruits and vegetables. The isolation net 48 separates the fruits and vegetables from the impeller 43 at the bottom of the device, preventing the fruits and vegetables from sinking to the bottom and causing damage to the device.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
