DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to explain the present invention in detail to enable a person skilled in the art to easily carry out the present invention. In the description of the present invention, the same reference numerals are used for the same parts throughout the drawings.

1 is a schematic perspective view of a vegetable cleaning system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, a vegetable cleaning system according to the present invention, indicated at 10, comprises a first washing machine 20 for harvesting in a cultivated area, , A sorting conveyor (26) for feeding the vegetables washed in the primary washing machine (20) to a predetermined place, and a feeding device for feeding the vegetables introduced from the sorting conveyor (26) And a second washing machine 30 for washing by passing the passing high pressure water.

As shown in FIG. 1, the dryer 40 and the inclined conveyor 36 are mounted on the rear side of the second washing machine 30 to quickly dry the washed vegetables and store the laundry in a desired place desirable.

The dryer (40) uses ordinary dry air and may be widely used in the market.

The first washing machine 20 includes a washing tub 15 storing washing water and opening at an upper portion thereof, a lower conveyor belt 14 being locked in the washing tub 15, An upper conveyor belt 12 installed close to the washing tub 15 and an air injection pipe 16 mounted on the lower portion of the washing tub 15 and installed to generate air bubbles upward.

At this time, the upper and lower conveyor belts 12 and 14 are formed of a wire mesh, and the air injection pipe 16 is formed parallel to the outside, and a plurality of branch pipes having a plurality of holes are mounted on the upper and lower conveyor belts 12 and 14 to generate bubbles.

Particularly, the foreign substances discharged from the vegetable are discharged to the outside by the foreign matter discharge port 22 formed in the longitudinal direction by chamfering at a predetermined portion of the upper side surface of the washing tub 15 of the primary washing machine 20.

In the first washing machine 20, the upper and lower conveyor belts 12 and 14, a driving member (not shown) for driving the upper and lower conveyor belts 12 and 14, a driving member and a pressure of air injected into the air inlet pipe 16 are controlled A controller (not shown), and the like.

The second washing machine 30 includes an upper opened body, a lower conveyor belt embedded in the body and continuously rotating in the longitudinal direction of the body, an upper conveyor belt mounted on the upper portion of the lower conveyor belt, And a jet member mounted between the lower conveyor belt and the upper conveyor belt and positioned between the upper and lower conveyor belts to jet high pressure water to a vegetable conveyed in a predetermined direction at a predetermined pressure.

The high-pressure water injection member includes upper and lower wash water supply pipes 34 installed in the upper and lower conveyor belts, a plurality of upper and lower nozzles 32 (see FIG. 1) mounted on the upper and lower wash water supply pipes 34, ), And an operation member for continuously operating the upper and lower nozzles left and right.
