The washing chamber 100 and the rinsing chamber 200 are each provided with a water level sensor (not shown). When the water in the water tank 400 is filled with water, water is spilled out and waste of water occurs. When the water in the water tank 400 is filled with less water, washing or rinsing is not properly performed. Since it is important for the water tank 400 to have an appropriate amount of water, a water level sensor is provided therein to fill an appropriate amount of water. And an automatic valve (not shown) capable of shutting off water supply by the level detected by the water level sensor.

Referring to FIG. 2, the other end of the water tank 400 is inclined at a different height from the ground. The water tank 400 is inclined so that the foreign substances generated in the water after the completion of the operation in the washing chamber 100 or the rinsing chamber 200 are accumulated on the bottom along the inclined bottom surface. It is preferable that the drainage part 420 is provided below the inclined part so that foreign substances can be discharged together with water when the drainage part 420 is opened. The bottom surface may be made of a slippery material so that the foreign matter accumulated on the bottom surface of the water tank 400 can be more easily moved.

A guide member 500 is provided on the open top of the water tank 400. The guide member 500 includes a driving member 510, a control unit 800, and a solenoid valve 700.

The guide member 500 can withstand shocks when the storage basket 650 moves along the driving member 510 or when the storage basket 650 reciprocates up and down in the water tank 400 It is preferable that it is made of a hard material.

The guide member 500 includes a driving member 510. The driving member 510 makes it possible to move the elevating apparatus 600. The lifting device 600 is movable from the cleaning chamber 100 to the rinsing chamber 200 or from the rinsing chamber 200 to the cleaning chamber 100 along the driving member 510. A horizontal air cylinder 620 is provided to move the lifting device 600 along the driving member 510.

The horizontal air cylinder 620 is provided for the movement of the elevating apparatus 600 and is controlled by the control unit 800. The horizontal air cylinder 620 is disposed at a right angle to the elevating apparatus 600 so that the elevating apparatus 600 can move horizontally.

The lifting device 600 is for lifting and lowering the storage basket 650 to or from the cleaning chamber 100 or the rinsing chamber 200. More specifically, the storage basket 650 is drawn into the water tray 400 Or withdraw.

The elevating device 600 includes a vertical air cylinder 610 for moving up and down the accommodating basket 650. A storage basket 650 and the elevating device 600 are installed at the lower end of the elevating device 600, A coupling member 640 may be provided. The storage basket 650 can be separated from the elevating apparatus 600 through the coupling member 640. For example, the coupling member 640 may include a metal cover 670 of the storage basket 650, and the coupling member 640 may be magnet-coupled using a magnet. The coupling can be done in various ways such as locking coupling.

The elevating device 600 receives the number of times and the time from the controller 800 and starts the movement of the vertical air cylinder 610. While the vertical air cylinder 610 reciprocates upward and downward, the vegetables in the storage basket 650 are washed with water. The elevating device 600 is installed to be orthogonal to the water tank 400. The vertical air cylinder 610 in the elevating device 600 may be pneumatically or hydraulically operated.

The storage basket 650 is provided with a plurality of holes 660. The holes 660 are formed in such a size that water can pass through the holes during cleaning and the vegetables inside can not pass through. The storage basket 650 may include a cover 670 having a plurality of holes 660 formed at an upper portion of the storage basket 650 for safely storing vegetables.

The control unit 800 controls the overall operation of the vegetable washing machine 1000.
