  When washing vegetables using the washing apparatus 1, the pump 61 is driven to put the vegetables into the water tank 2.

  The vegetables thrown into the water storage tank 2 are cleaned in the water storage tank 2 because the bubbles collide with the surface by the water jet of the cleaning nozzle 4.

  Depending on the type of vegetable, there are cases where it floats and when it settles, but it is sprayed from the washing nozzles 4 arranged above and below to correspond. Further, for example, the strength of the spraying force is adjusted depending on the kind of vegetables, or the unnecessary washing nozzle 4 is stopped.

  After stopping the water injection of the washing nozzle 4, by switching a valve (not shown) and injecting water from the conveying nozzle 3 to generate a water flow in the conveying direction X, the washed vegetables are directed to the net conveyor 6 side. It will be transported.

  Then, the washed vegetables are placed on the transport surface of the net conveyor 6 and taken out from the water storage tank 2 and are finally washed with clean water from the clean water nozzle pipe 70.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the floating waste A generated separately from the vegetables in the water storage tank 2 is temporarily submerged below the surface of the water so as to be pushed by the water flow by the water jet of the floating waste sinking nozzle pipe 45. After that, it floats again by buoyancy and enters the suspended waste collection channel 35 from the hole 44 of the channel formation body (partition plate) 36. At this time, even if the vegetable floats on the water surface, the vegetable cannot pass through the hole 44, and the vegetable and the suspended waste A are reliably separated.

  The suspended waste A that has entered the suspended waste collection channel 35 is sent to the suspended waste basket 8 through the suspended waste collection channel 35 by water injection from the suspended waste feed nozzle 47, and is suspended. It is collected in the basket 8.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the sedimented waste B generated by separating from the vegetables in the water storage tank 2 passes through the hole 31 of the punching plate 30 and settles on the bottom surface portion 26. The water jet 56 moves on the inclined surface 29 of the bottom surface portion 26 of the water storage tank 2 and enters the concave portion 27.

  Then, the sediment waste B that has entered the concave portion 27 of the water storage tank 2 is sent to the sediment waste basket 10 through the sediment waste collection pipe 51 together with the pressure feed water by the water jet of the sediment waste feed nozzle 52, It is collected in the basket 10 for sediment waste.

  Thus, according to the said washing | cleaning apparatus 1, while washing | cleaning of vegetables can be performed appropriately, each collection | recovery of floating waste A and sedimentation waste B can also be performed appropriately, Therefore, washing | cleaning of vegetables and Garbage can be properly collected at the same time.

In addition, since the washing of vegetables, the transportation of vegetables, the collection of floating waste A and the collection of sediment waste B are performed by one pump 61,
Compared with the case where the washing of vegetables, the transportation of vegetables, the collection of floating waste A and the collection of precipitated waste B are performed by separate pumps, the configuration can be simplified and the production cost can be reduced. .

  In addition, although the washing | cleaning apparatus 1 is a thing suitable for washing | cleaning of vegetables, it can be used also for washing | cleaning of to-be-cleaned objects other than vegetables.

  Moreover, the washing | cleaning apparatus 1 has the structure which injects water from the washing nozzle 4 at the time of washing | cleaning of vegetables, and injects water from the conveyance nozzle 3 at the time of conveyance of vegetables, ie, the structure which selects and uses the conveyance nozzle 3 and the washing | cleaning nozzle 4. However, the configuration may be such that water is jetted from both nozzles 3 and 4 at the same time, and the magnitude of the jetting force of both nozzles 3 and 4 may be adjusted.
