The invention provides a material cleaning device and a cooking appliance. The material cleaning device comprises a cleaning cavity, an axial flow
fan blade and a stirring piece, wherein the cleaningcavity is provided with a gas inlet and an exhaust port; the axial flow
fan blade is arranged in the cleaning cavity; the
central line of the axial flow
fan blade extends in a longitudinal direction;the axial flow fan blade, under the driving of an
airflow which enters from the gas inlet, can rotate by taking the
central line of the axial flow fan blade as a center, and the
airflow, which is driven by virtue of the axial flow fan blade, flows from top to bottom when the axial flow fan blade rotates; the stirring piece is arranged at the lower side of the axial flow fan blade and is connectedto the axial flow fan blade; and the stirring piece, which is driven by virtue of the axial flow fan blade, can stir materials in the cleaning cavity. According to the material cleaning device provided by the scheme, problems on vibration and
noise due to transmission of a motor can be prevented; meanwhile, according to the scheme, a shaft seal structure is not in need, so that a problem of waterleakage in the location of the shaft seal is prevented; and in addition, according to the scheme, the
airflow, which is driven by virtue of the axial flow fan blade, flows from top to bottom, so thatstirring on the materials at the bottom of the cleaning cavity can be enhanced via the airflow.
