At the state of Fig. 3 (c), be the B water system, depressing net 21 in driving rises, to remove depressing of vegetables V, and make vegetables V floating upward under the state of the water surface from the below, current by the clean water generates of being sprayed from side hypomere sidepiece discharge opening 32L at the moment, the dish leaf is partly spread, and also being travelled to and fro between, clean water cleans between dish leaf and the dish leaf, simultaneously, by the current of the clean water generates of being sprayed, make and clean water and travel to and fro between the gap of the dish leaf, stem and the butt part that are exposed to face side and clean from depth side epimere sidepiece discharge opening 33U.In addition, by current, make and clean that water is travelled to and fro between the dish leaf that is exposed to face side, the gap of stem portion is cleaned from the vertical direction of the clean water generates of being sprayed from bottom discharge opening 34.

As above-mentioned, be soaked in the vegetables V in the clean water in the ablution groove 50, in ablution groove 50, repeat above-mentioned action continuously, with clean each corner, and remove the foreign matter of attachment removal.

Promptly, in the vegetables method of cleaning of this example, in ablution groove 50, as pass through above-mentionedly from each discharge opening 32L, 32U, 33L, 33U, 34 sparging water purification, make the current of generation simultaneously be contacted with vegetables V, one side is depressed vegetables V and is made its sedimentation, and removes repeatedly to depress and make its action on floating, and shakes the vegetables V in the ablution groove 50 aptly.

Again, relevant Fig. 2 and symbol 14C, 22,23 shown in Figure 3 hold and treat aftermentioned.

Secondly, with reference to Fig. 4, the lifting sequential of stipulating the above-mentioned lifting action of depressing net 21 be described and stipulate the injection sequential of each discharge opening 32L, 32U, 33L, 33U, 34 injection action.In addition, with reference to Fig. 5, illustrate a plurality of clean pattern 13b in memory means 13 is remembered in action such as the combination of those each sequential and injection action etc. in advance.

Depress the lifting sequential of net 21, shown in Fig. 4 (a), controlled by the ON/OFF that depresses net CD-ROM drive motor 29 (with reference to Fig. 7) described later, in this example, at the ON state, promptly once depress the down maneuver of net 21 and the moving lifting sequential T1 that rises is about 2 seconds (with reference to Fig. 5).

In addition, thereafter, depressing net 21 becomes the top position, is the position of water surface top or remains near the water surface state retention time Tx down, can from about 1 second, about 2 seconds, about 4 seconds selection setting (with reference to Fig. 5).

Press from the injection of each discharge opening 32L, 32U, 33L, 33U, the 34 clean water that spray, can be from 2kgf/cm ²(about 196kPa), 3kgf/cm ²(with reference to Fig. 5) set in the middle selection of (about 294kPa).

In addition, in this example, in cleaning action, from the C water system, promptly bottom discharge opening 34 regular ground sparging water purification.

On the other hand, A water system and B water system are used as above-mentioned taking turns, and its rotation time T2 is about 10 seconds.

The control of the injection of those each discharge opening 32L, 32U, 33L, 33U, 34 clean water is reached by adjusting control each magnetic valve described later.

Fig. 5 shows an example of remembering a plurality of clean pattern 13b in memory means 13 in advance, and in this example, memory has the clean pattern 13b of 6 kinds.The clean pattern 13b of this kind, for example, shown in the greengrocery of right side table, according to becoming the vegetable species of cleaning object, in user's side, it is selected to suit by operating selection switch 12.From then on show to show as can be known, with when cleaning the vegetables of easy damaged, reduce to spray and press, and when cleaning the vegetables of difficult damage, then improve to spray and press to preferable.In addition, the vegetables of Yi Fushang, difficult damage are preferable to shorten it at the retention time of the top position of depressing net 21 Tx, and difficulty is floating upward, the vegetables of easy damaged, is preferable to increase its time Tx.So, utilization can change it at the retention time of the top position of depressing net 21 Tx, and cooperation falls to the ascent rate of the vegetables of the below in the ablution groove 50 towards the water surface, can set retention time Tx.Thus, fall to the vegetables of below, one side repeatedly sedimentation and floating on, one side by as the current of above-mentioned each discharge opening 32L, 32U, 33L, 33U, the 34 clean water generates of being sprayed wash and can be cleaned effectively.

In addition, the clean pattern 13b that is remembered in advance is not limited to above-mentioned pattern, also can further the action of the combination beyond this change be remembered.Again, also can be in user's side, by operating this operation and setting means 12 are carried out, and can set the lifting action of depressing net 21 or from the injection action of each discharge opening 32L, 32U, 33L, 33U, 34 clean water.Thus, can be in user's side, carry out thin portion according to the kind of vegetables, the state of vegetables (underdone, well done etc.) and set, and can clean according to vegetables.

In addition, in above-mentioned, though illustration carry out once the down maneuver of depressing net 21 and the lifting time T1 of vertical motion, be made as about 2 seconds, and there is not the hold mode of depressing net 21 at lower position, but also can make at lower position and to depress net 21 and keep stopping, and also variable setting of its retention time according to the fixed time.

As clean pattern 13b, further set a plurality of clean times of implementation again,, and remember in memory means 13, can select to set the clean time of implementation by the operation of selector switch 12, after carrying out the fixed time, cleaning action, can stop automatically cleaning and move.So, clean time of implementation can be measured aptly according to the shape of ablution groove 50, size, the vegetables of accommodating and be set.

As above-mentioned,, can in ablution groove 50, be soaked in and clean vegetables V under the state of cleaning in the water according to by the performed vegetables method of cleaning of the vegetables decontaminating apparatus 10 of this example.Thus, directly be not contacted with vegetables V from each discharge opening 32L, 32U, 33L, 33U, the 34 clean water that spray, for example, with inject high pressure water in atmosphere with the method for removing foreign matter relatively, can lower the damage of the leafy vegetable of easy damaged or fruit type vegetables etc.

In addition, in ablution groove 50, one side makes from each discharge opening 32L, 32U, 33L, 33U, 34 current that produce as above-mentioned ground sparging water purification and is contacted with vegetables V, one side is pushed vegetables V repeatedly and is made its sinking, and remove the action of pushing and it being floated, and the vegetables V in the ablution groove 50 is shaken aptly, so the vegetables V in the ablution groove 50 can accept current from various directions.Thus, can clean vegetables V in the ablution groove 50 effectively.Promptly, for example, easily swimming in cutting class vegetables or the leafy vegetable and other the vegetables etc. of the water surface, one side is accepted current and is simultaneously fallen to below in the ablution groove 50 by pushing, and remove this and push and swim and when the water surface, also can accept current, it is all to clean vegetables effectively.

Especially, as this example, with the leafy vegetable of spinach or Xiao Song dish etc. as the vegetables V of vegetables object and situation about being cleaned, when floating pressing, utilize the current of contact from horizontal direction, vegetables because of buoyancy rise, and by from the current of horizontal direction so that the diffusion of dish leaf can be cleaned the dish leaf each other.

In addition, injection from each sidepiece discharge opening 32L, 32U, 33L, 33U, in (paper left side) medial surface 42 of side at the moment of subtend and each side of depth side (paper right side) medial surface 43, clean water from epimere side 32U, 33U and hypomere side 32L, 33L is alternatively sprayed and at the medial surface of side at the moment 42 and the depth side medial surface 43 of subtend, make epimere side 32U, 33U and hypomere side 32L, 33L sparging water purification on the contrary each other, so the movement of the vegetables V in ablution groove 50 increases.That is, by the current that A water system and B water system produce that pass through of mutual counter-rotating in ablution groove 50, and shake the interior vegetables of ablution groove 50 aptly, to improve clean effect by current.

Especially, simultaneously accept the current that pass through A water system and the generation of B water system of mutual counter-rotating as above-mentioned leafy vegetable, the one side sedimentation and remove this and push and float by depressing repeatedly, the dish leaf is spread each other, so, can remove the foreign matter that is attached to thin portion that simple interest is difficult to drop with flushing, leafy vegetable also can be cleaned effectively at knotting or tied state.

Again,,, still can clean vegetables fully even do not use remover or medicine etc. according to the vegetables method of cleaning of this example, thus also very safe aspect food hygiene, in addition, can not damage the taste that vegetables itself are had.

Again, in this example, the vegetables V as the vegetables object though the illustration spinach is arranged, is not limited to this, also is suitable for cleaning of above-mentioned roots vegetable or fruit type vegetables etc., and can damage those vegetables, and can clean effectively.

In addition, in this example, though icon and the state of only accommodating a branch of vegetables V in ablution groove 50 has been described can be accommodated multi beam certainly and cleaned.

Secondly, one example of the concrete formation of above-mentioned vegetables decontaminating apparatus 10 is described with reference to Fig. 6 to 10.Fig. 6 is for showing the approximate three-dimensional map of one of vegetables decontaminating apparatus with example example, the summary rearview that Fig. 7 cuts open with the part of the vegetables decontaminating apparatus of example for demonstration, the approximate vertical view of depressing net that Fig. 8 (a) is possessed for the vegetables decontaminating apparatus with example, Fig. 8 (b) looks general profile chart for the arrow of the X-X line among Fig. 8 (a), Fig. 9 will be launched the draining of the ablution groove that the pattern that gives shows with the ablution groove of the vegetables decontaminating apparatus of example for explanation, the key diagram of water supply usefulness, Figure 10 are the summary system block diagrams with the vegetables decontaminating apparatus of example.

In Fig. 9, pattern ground shows the vertical view of tank 40 described later and the medial surface of subtend,, and see side medial surface 42 is at the moment swung to the figure of the state of side at the moment in regular turn for to see figure, the vertical view of depth side medial surface 43 being swung to the state of depth side from the top.In addition, in Fig. 9, each feed pipe, drainpipe, air hose are that pattern ground shows, and show the air-flow of cleaning water and gas with the symbol of A～F by arrow.

The vegetables decontaminating apparatus 10 of legend roughly possesses: constitute framework and in have and clean and the device frame 15 of water drainage-supply system 30; Be formed at this control panel 16 above device frame 15 by pillar; Vegetables screw-down 20; And comprise the tank 40 of ablution groove 50 of top opening.

Again, in the drawings, symbol 15a is the wheel of this body and function of movable fixture, and symbol 15b is the level adjuster that the fixed-site of device body is used.

Control panel 16 possesses: display floater 18, and the main switch 17 etc. of controlling the CPU11, selector switch 12 of above-mentioned each one of device, the clean pattern 13b that shows selected setting and other cleansing bars spare etc.

Vegetables screw-down 20 has the formation below 2 respectively, that is, depress that vegetables V uses depress net 21 be linked to depress net 21 and keep depressing net 21 support 22 (with reference to Fig. 2), be connected with in the net arm 23 of support 22 and be connected with arm driving shaft 24 in net arm 23.In the lower end of arm driving shaft 24, be fixed with the driving shaft web 25 that links these 2 arm driving shafts 24.

Arm driving shaft 24 is by the driving of attached brake gear motor 29, and the rotation of the crank 27 that drives via bearing portion 28 rotation, the pitman 26 that freely swings is made in utilization with respect to crank 27 and driving shaft web 25, one side is shaken a knee-action, so that be linked to the driving shaft web 25 of this pitman 26 and be linked to this arm driving shaft 24 oscilaltions, its result can make and depress net 21 oscilaltions.

Again, arm driving shaft 24 supports to be liftable by shaft bearing plate 15c, the 15d that is fixed in device body.

As above-mentioned, because carry out 2 liftings of depressing net 21 by the driving of a motor 29, thus can identical action control 2 the lifting action of depressing net 21, in addition, the situation of carrying out the lifting driving with respectively driving means being set compares, and can reduce cost.

Be connected with in the net arm 23 of the front end of arm driving shaft 24, constitute with respect to arm driving shaft 24 and can rotate roughly 90 degree towards side at the moment, under the state of this rotation, be connected with the wire side of depressing net 21 in net arm 23, constituting can be in the water surface almost parallel of its below.

Again, in this example, use motor 29 to depress the driving means that net 21 liftings are used as making, but be not limited to this, other also can wait by the cylinder of hydraulic type, vapour-pressure type etc. and carry out.

As shown in Figure 8, depress net 21 and comprise: flat dictyosome is added netted plate body 21a on framework, and expand the 21b of edge portion that opens from its outer peripheral edges towards the below.

The periphery of depressing net 21 makes more smaller than the interior week that is contained in the vegetables cage 14 in the ablution groove 51,52 described later, and liftable is in vegetables cage 14.

The position corresponding to sidepiece discharge opening 32L, 32U, 33L, 33U at the 21b of edge portion is formed with breach 21c, and it fluidly accepts the current by the clean water generates of spraying from each sidepiece discharge opening 32L, 32U, 33L, 33U.

According to as the above-mentioned net 21 of depressing, can catch vegetables in the ablution groove 51,52 (being contained in the vegetables cage 14 in those) effectively by the 21b of edge portion.That is,, when depressing, probably there are vegetables to enter the gap of ablution groove and dictyosome and impaired or be displaced into the anxiety of the top of dictyosome, but can catch vegetables, can lower this problem by the 21b of this edge portion if only be flat dictyosome.In addition, because form above-mentioned breach 21c, be difficult to hinder from each sidepiece discharge opening 32L, 32U, 33L, 33U and spray the current of the clean water generates in ablution groove 51,52.

Tank 40 forms the plane and overlooks and be rectangle roughly, is equipped with central strip plate 46 in its substantial middle, and that entreats demarcation strip 46 hereinto is equipped with left and right sides demarcation strip 47,48 respectively every the interval of appointment between left and right.

So, tank 40 is equipped with central strip plate 46 and left and right sides demarcation strip 47,48, and is separated into 4 zones.Those 4 zones constitute left side overflow launder 53, left side ablution groove 51, right side ablution groove 52 and right side overflow launder 54 in regular turn from a left side.

Constitute ablution groove 50 by left side ablution groove 51 and right side ablution groove 52, bottom discharge opening 34 is set in the bottom surface 41 of this ablution groove 50, side medial surface 42 is respectively equipped with sidepiece discharge opening 32L, 32U at the moment before it, is respectively equipped with depth sidepiece discharge opening 33L, 33U (with reference to Fig. 9) at its depth side medial surface 43.

As above-mentioned, also can not separate ablution groove 50, and constitute an ablution groove 50, or also can separate be more than 3, to form the ablution groove more than 3 by central strip plate 46 again.This kind situation does not need to make 20 distortion of vegetables screw-down certainly.

Sidepiece discharge opening 32L, 32U at the moment, the epimere portion of side medial surface 42 before eyes and hypomere portion respectively are provided with 4, and in addition, depth sidepiece discharge opening 33L, 33U also respectively are provided with 4 in the epimere portion and the hypomere portion of depth side medial surface 43 equally.

Be located at the epimere of the side at the moment discharge opening 32U of portion and the depth epimere sidepiece discharge opening 33U of epimere portion of each medial surface 42,43, be made as identical height respectively, and be located at the position more lower slightly, the i.e. position more lower slightly than Overflow drainage mouth described later 36 than the water surface.

In addition, be located at the hypomere of the side at the moment side discharge opening 32L of portion and the depth hypomere sidepiece discharge opening 33L of hypomere portion of each medial surface 42,43, be made as below and be made as identical height respectively more than discharge opening 32U, the 33U of above-mentioned each epimere portion, and be located at the height of roughly half degree in the ablution groove 50 or under the state that contains vegetables cage 14 described later, be located at the position (with reference to Fig. 2) of the height of 1/3 degree of the bottom surface of vegetables cage 14 apart.

Be located at those each sidepiece discharge opening 32L, 32U, 33L, 33U of 8 of side medial surface 42, depth side medial surface 43 at the moment, each discharge opening of its subtend is set to left and right sides offset slightly (with reference to Fig. 9) in the horizontal direction.Thus, by the driving of suction pump P described later during the sparging water purification,, in addition, can vegetables be shaken even the situation of Pen Sheing is at the same time sprayed the current that produced by those and also can not be conflicted.

Those sidepiece discharge openings 32L, 32U, 33L, 33U when being separated by central strip plate 46, form 4 respectively in the side of each subtend of each ablution groove 51,52.

The substantial middle of each bottom surface of each ablution groove 51,52 is located on discharge opening 43 each ground in bottom.

In addition, at the medial surface of side at the moment 42 of ablution groove 50, be formed with feed water inlet 31 in mode towards the both sides of left side ablution groove 51, right side ablution groove 52.

Supplying water in order to pile clean water in tank 40 in feed water inlet 31, supplies water in order to make clean water overflow simultaneously.

In the substantial middle of the bottom surface 41 of tank 40 (ablution groove 50), be the below of central strip plate 46, form the discharge outlet 35 that the clean water in the discharging tank 40 are used, bottom surface 41 makes towards its discharge outlet 35 and the inclined plane that roughly tilts.Thus, the heavier foreign matter of proportion such as mud concentrates near the discharge outlet 35 gradually in the foreign matter that vegetables were produced when cleaning, and is discharged from when finishing the back draining in cleaning.Or, by foreign matter recovering means (not icon) recovery of the filter screen of being located at discharge outlet 35 or filter etc.

Central strip plate 46 can freely be dismantled, and is formed with the opening 46a that is communicated with left side ablution groove 51 and right side ablution groove 52 in the central, central authorities be formed with above slightly control usefulness control hole 46b.Also can break away from, make ablution groove 50 with right side ablution groove 52, clean the vegetables of long size etc. to link left side ablution groove 51 by making central strip plate 46.

Left and right sides demarcation strip 47,48 also can freely be dismantled, and slightly the top is formed with the left side opening 47a that is communicated with left side ablution groove 51 and left side overflow launder 53 respectively, the right openings 48a that is communicated with right side ablution groove 52 and right side overflow launder 54 in the central.

As above-mentioned, utilize respectively and freely dismantle each demarcation strip 46,47,48, can improve the cleaning in the tank 40.

Be respectively equipped with Overflow drainage mouth 36 at the left and right sides of tank 40 medial surface 44,45, by often supply with a small amount of water of cleaning of cleaning moving from feed water inlet 31, make the clean water in the tank 40 that becomes full water state, constantly overflow slightly from Overflow drainage mouth 36, constantly to change the clean water in the tank 40 on a small quantity.

In addition, the foreign matter of cleaning light specific gravity in the middle foreign matter that produces of vegetables, by being formed at the left side opening 47a and the right openings 48a of above-mentioned left and right sides demarcation strip 47,48 tops respectively, and be led to each overflow launder 53,54, and discharge from above-mentioned Overflow drainage mouth 36 from each ablution groove 51,52.Or, by foreign matter recovering means (not icon) recovery of the filter screen of being located at Overflow drainage mouth 36 or filter etc.

Again, utilize and only above-mentioned left side opening 47a, right openings 48a are located at the top, and inaccessible below, so that each overflow launder 53,54 and each ablution groove 51,52 disconnected formations, the foreign matter of the mud that proportion is heavier etc., difficulty moves to overflow launder 53,54, thus, can lower the mesh obstruction etc. that clean water described later sucks the filter of tube 37.

In addition, the fluctuation by left and right sides demarcation strip 47,48 lowers the water surface of each overflow launder 53,54 also can prevent the misoperation of level sensor LS described later.

In a side in overflow launder 53,54, this example is right side overflow launder 54, and the clean water that is formed with an end that constitutes periodical feeding pipeline G described later sucks tube 37.

Clean water and suck tube 37 41 prominent establishing form from the bottom surface, it is the height of 1/3 degree of the water surface that its projecting height makes at a distance of bottom surface 41.In addition, be formed with suction inlet, via the clean water of filter (not icon) suction from right side overflow launder 54 at its front end.

So, because 41 prominent establishing are cleaned water suction tube 37 from the bottom surface, so can lower the suction of foreign matter of 41 of avaling in the bottom surface etc., simultaneously its projecting height being made at a distance of bottom surface 41 is the height of 1/3 degree of the water surface, so, also can prevent to suck the foreign matter that guides to the light specific gravity of overflow launder 53,54 of cleaning because of vegetables.

As shown in Figure 9, set up level sensor LS at a side medial surface 44 again.

Each left side ablution groove 51 and right side ablution groove 52 separate the ablution groove 50 that forms by central strip plate 46 contain in order to accommodate the vegetables cage 14 of vegetables.Vegetables cage 14 constitutes the part of ablution groove 51,52 under the state that is accommodated in each ablution groove 51,52.

As shown in Figure 6, vegetables cage 14 comprises: the top opening, in order to accommodate the case shape dictyosome 14a of vegetables; Side's provided thereon handle part 14b; And protrude in the below of case shape dictyosome 14a, and in ablution groove 50, support the 14c of support foot of case shape dictyosome 14a, this vegetables cage peripheral shape becomes more smaller than week in each of above-mentioned left side ablution groove 51 and right side ablution groove 52, and can freely dismantle in those ablution grooves 51,52.

The vegetables cage 14 as constituted above, shown in Fig. 2 and 3, under the state in being contained in ablution groove 51,52, by supporting that the 14c of foot is supported in the ablution groove 51,52, the back side of case shape dictyosome 14a constitutes the bottom surface 41 with respect to ablution groove 51,52, the gap of the appointment of being separated by and not contacting.

Thus, the vegetables that are contained in the vegetables cage 14 directly do not contact with bottom surface 41, than heavy foreign matter, avale in the situation of the bottom surface 41 of ablution groove 51,52 in by the clean foreign matter of removing of vegetables, also can prevent to be attached on those vegetables again.

In addition, in vegetables cage 14 is accommodated in ablution groove 51,52 and be under the state of full water, the upper end of case shape dictyosome 14a is positioned at the position than water surface top.Thus, be contained in the vegetables in the vegetables cage 14, on floating near the water surface time, also can not flow out in the vegetables cage 14 and not overflow.

So, utilization is housed in vegetables in the vegetables cage 14 and is cleaned, with direct vegetables are contained in the method comparison of being cleaned in each ablution groove 51,52, can take out from each ablution groove 51,52 with vegetables cage 14 cleaning the vegetables of finishing to be accommodated the back, its operation is good.

Make not by vegetables with the mesh of case shape dictyosome 14a, and can be preferable by the size of foreign matter again.
