[0002] In restaurants, hotels, and university canteens, a large number of greasy chopsticks need to be washed daily. Currently, the commonly used manual washing method is not only labor-intensive but also struggles to guarantee cleaning quality. To address this, chopstick washing machines have emerged, effectively solving the problems of high labor input and inconsistent cleaning results, and achieving a highly efficient and standardized cleaning process.

[0003] Existing chopsticks washing machines, due to their fixed internal basket design, make it extremely difficult to thoroughly remove food residue accumulated in the corners, mesh gaps, and between the basket and the machine body after washing. This fixed design restricts the operator's direct contact with and thorough wiping of the internal space, creating stubborn hygiene dead spots inside the machine. Long-term accumulation of organic residue not only easily breeds bacteria and produces odors but also directly affects the cleaning quality of subsequent batches of chopsticks. Therefore, a ball-bearing type basket structure is needed. Utility Model Content

[0018] Please see Figures 1-7 A ball-bearing storage basket structure includes a swing base 1 and a storage basket 10. The swing base 1 is composed of a U-shaped plate and horizontal plates integrally formed at both ends of the U-shaped plate. The storage basket 10 is internally fitted with the swing base 1. The storage basket 10 is detachably installed inside the swing base 1. Side baffles 19 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inside of the swing base 1. Lifting plates 20 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the storage basket 10. Each lifting plate 20 has a convex limiting hole 21. Rotating rods 22 are rotatably installed on both sides of the horizontal plates of the swing base 1. A convex block 23 is fixedly installed at the top of the rotating rod 22, and the convex block 23 is internally fitted with the convex limiting hole 21. The placement basket 10 is placed inside the swing base 1, so that the convex blocks 23 on both sides of the swing base 1 pass through the convex limiting holes 21 on the lifting plates 20 on both sides of the placement basket 10. When the bottom surface of the placement basket 10 abuts against the inner bottom surface of the swing base 1, the convex blocks 23 are exactly above the lifting plates 20. At this time, rotating the convex blocks 23 causes them to no longer coincide with the convex limiting holes 21, thereby limiting the placement basket 10 inside the swing base 1. This achieves quick installation and reliable fixation of the placement basket 10 inside the swing base 1.

[0019] The swing seat 1 is reciprocatingly positioned inside the cleaning tank 2. A drain plate 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the inside of the cleaning tank 2, and a drain pipe 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2. Multiple water inlet pipes 24 are fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2. The cleaning tank 2 is filled with water and cleaning solution is added through the water inlet pipes 24. The basket 10 is then shaken in the cleaning solution to clean chopsticks, spoons, or other tools. After the chopsticks are cleaned, larger residues are blocked by the drain plate 3, and the drain pipe 4 is opened to drain the dirty water. This facilitates the addition of cleaning solution, the discharge of dirty water, and the separation and draining of residues.

[0020] A support plate 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the cleaning box 2. A rotating shaft 6 is rotatably installed on the support plate 5, and a connecting section 7 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 6. Bearing seats 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end face of the support plate 5, and the rotating shaft 6 is rotatably installed in the bearing seats 11. The connecting section 7 is hinged to one end of the swing seat 1. A rotating shaft 12 is rotatably installed on one end of the swing seat 1, and a connecting rod 13 is rotatably installed on the end of the connecting section 7 opposite to the rotating shaft 6. A connecting plate 14 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod 13, and the connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 12. Driving the rotating shaft 6 causes it to swing back and forth within a certain range, which in turn drives the swing seat 1 to swing back and forth through the connecting section 7, rotating shaft 12, connecting rod 13, and connecting plate 14, thereby driving the placement basket 10 to swing back and forth. This provides a stable and reliable swing drive, enabling the placement basket 10 to effectively shake and clean items.

[0021] In this embodiment, a drive device is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning box 2. The drive device can be a servo motor, and the output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6.

[0022] An overlapping roller 8 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the cleaning box 2. An overlapping groove 9 is formed on the bottom side of the swing seat 1 opposite to the connecting section 7, and the overlapping roller 8 engages with the overlapping groove 9. Sliding grooves 15 are formed on both sides of the inner wall of the cleaning box 2, and sliders 16 are slidably installed inside each sliding groove 15. Both ends of the overlapping roller 8 are fixedly connected to the sliders 16 on both sides. Multiple limiting strips 17 are integrally formed on the top of the outer wall of the overlapping roller 8; multiple limiting grooves 18 are formed on the inner side of the overlapping groove 9, and the limiting strips 17 engage with the limiting grooves 18. When cleaning the internal structure of the cleaning box 2, the swing seat 1 is rotated upwards, causing the overlapping roller 8 to disengage from the overlapping groove 9, thus facilitating the cleaning of residue remaining on the bottom side of the cleaning box 2. This provides stable support for the swing seat 1 during operation and allows for quick disengagement for cleaning and maintenance.

[0023] In summary, the working principle is as follows: The placement basket 10 is placed smoothly inside the swing seat 1, ensuring that the convex blocks 23 on the horizontal plates on both sides of the swing seat 1 are accurately aligned and pass through the convex limiting holes 21 on the lifting plates 20 on both sides of the placement basket 10. When the bottom of the placement basket 10 falls completely to the position where it is in close contact with the bottom surface inside the swing seat 1, the top of the convex block 23 just passes through the convex limiting hole 21 and is located above the lifting plate 20. At this time, the rotating rod 22 is rotated by hand, causing the convex block 23 at its top to rotate about 90 degrees, so that the long side of the convex block 23 intersects with the opening direction of the convex limiting hole 21 on the lifting plate 20. Due to the special shape of the convex limiting hole 21, the rotated convex block 23 can no longer pass through this hole. Thus, the lifting plate 20 is used to firmly limit and lock the entire placement basket 10 inside the swing seat 1, effectively preventing the placement basket 10 from loosening or falling off during subsequent swinging.

[0024] After the placement basket 10 is installed and fixed, the drive device can be started to drive the rotating shaft 6 to swing back and forth periodically within a certain angle range. The rotation of the rotating shaft 6 is transmitted through the connecting joint 7 fixedly installed above it. The swing of the connecting joint 7 further drives the connecting rod 13 hinged to it to move. The connecting rod 13 then transmits the power to the swing seat 1 through the connecting plate 14 at the end and the rotating shaft 12 rotatably connected to the swing seat 1, forcing the swing seat 1 to swing back and forth stably inside the cleaning box 2 with the hinge point between it and the connecting joint 7 as the pivot. This causes the placement basket 10 fixed inside and the chopsticks, spoons and other tableware placed in the basket to shake back and forth in the cleaning solution. During this cleaning process, clean water and an appropriate amount of cleaning agent can be continuously or intermittently injected into the cleaning tank 2 through multiple water inlet pipes 24 fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2 to ensure that the cleaning tank 2 is filled with a uniformly mixed cleaning solution. The continuous shaking of the placement basket 10 in the cleaning solution causes the surface of the tableware to generate violent relative motion with the water flow, thereby effectively removing oil stains and food residues from the surface of the tableware by utilizing the impact of the water flow and the chemical action of the cleaning agent.

[0025] After the dishes are washed, let them sit for a moment to allow the larger pieces of food residue that have been washed down to sink naturally under gravity. These residues will be blocked and retained on top of the mesh or grid-like drain plate 3 fixedly installed on the bottom of the cleaning tank 2. The wastewater after washing can flow to the bottom of the tank through the gaps in the drain plate 3. At this time, open the valve on the drain pipe 4 at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2 to smoothly discharge the dirty water containing small dirt particles out of the tank.

[0026] If rinsing is required, clean water can be injected back into the cleaning tank 2 through the water inlet pipe 24 after the dirty water has been drained. Then, the above-mentioned swing cleaning process can be repeated once or multiple times until the tableware reaches the desired cleanliness. Finally, when a thorough cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the device is required, the end of the swing seat 1 away from the rotating shaft 6 can be lifted upwards, so that the overlapping groove 9 on the bottom side of the swing seat 1 disengages from the overlapping roller 8 that was originally engaged. The two ends of the overlapping roller 8 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 15 on both sides of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2 through the slider 16. This design allows the swing seat 1 to be flipped up and held in a certain position, thus providing ample operating space for cleaning food residues stuck on the bottom side of the inside of the cleaning tank 2, above the drain plate 3, and in the corners of the tank, making daily maintenance and cleaning more convenient and thorough.

[0027] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
