Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to ultrasonic cleaning technology, in particular to an ultrasonic cleaning machine and an ultrasonic cleaning automatic workstation. Background Art
[0002] Ultrasonic cleaning machines are widely used as common industrial cleaning equipment. Ultrasonic cleaning uses the cavitation, acceleration and straight-forward flow of ultrasound in liquids to directly and indirectly affect liquids and dirt, so that the dirt layer is dispersed, emulsified and peeled off to achieve the purpose of cleaning.
[0003] Common ultrasonic cleaning machines, such as Figure 1 As shown, an ultrasonic generator 102 is installed on the left and right sides of the cleaning tank 10 respectively. At the bottom of the cleaning tank 10, a turntable 91 is fixed at the bottom center of the cleaning tank 10 through a rotating shaft 92 and a bearing. The rotating shaft 92 is driven by a motor 94 through a chain gear transmission mechanism 93, so that the turntable 91 can be driven to rotate at a set speed. The workpiece 9 to be cleaned is placed on the turntable 91. When the cleaning machine is running, the workpiece 9 rotates with the turntable 91, and the ultrasonic generators 102 on both sides perform 360-degree ultrasonic cleaning on the side of the workpiece 9. Common ultrasonic cleaning machines: (i) due to the turntable rotating mechanism installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 10, it is impossible to install an ultrasonic generator at the bottom, so that one side of the bottom surface of the workpiece cannot be effectively ultrasonically cleaned, which limits the cleaning effect of the workpiece; (ii) due to the turntable rotating mechanism installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank, the mechanical structure of the cleaning machine is complicated, especially at the bearing of the rotating shaft 92, the sealing work must be strictly done, otherwise it will cause the cleaning tank 10 to leak and fail to operate normally. In actual production, due to the harsh working environment of the cleaning tank 10 and the uninterrupted overload operation, the seals often fail, water leakage accidents occur, the failure rate increases, and the maintenance is difficult, which seriously affects the normal production efficiency; (iii) The workpiece cannot be loaded and unloaded automatically, so it cannot achieve full automatic operation. Common ultrasonic cleaning machines have complex structures, high failure rates, and are all semi-automatic. The loading and unloading of workpieces and the intermediate circulation are mainly manual. The front and rear processes cannot be automatically and effectively connected. There are many problems such as cumbersome processes, low efficiency, dirty, messy and poor working places.
[0004] The traction machine rotor is an important component of the traction machine. After being machined, the workpiece has a complex structure, an uneven surface, and many blind holes. In actual production, the cleaning effect is required to be high. Summary of the invention

[0111] The side wall of the cleaning tank 10 is in the shape of N prisms, where N is an integer greater than 2;
[0112] The side wall of the cleaning tank 10 is fixedly provided with N side ultrasonic generators 102 in sequence along the circumferential direction, and each surface of the side wall of the cleaning tank 10 is provided with a side ultrasonic generator 102;
[0113] The control circuit is signal-connected to each side ultrasonic generator 102 , and is used to control the N side ultrasonic generators 102 to emit ultrasonic waves to clean the side of the workpiece 9 to be cleaned placed in the center of the cleaning tank 10 .
[0114] In the ultrasonic cleaning machine 3 of the first embodiment, when the control circuit controls the N side ultrasonic generators 102 arranged on the side wall of the cleaning tank 10 to regularly and alternately emit ultrasonic waves, a rotating ultrasonic field can be formed in the cleaning tank 10, such as Figure 4 As shown, the side of the workpiece 9 to be cleaned placed in the center of the cleaning tank 10 is cleaned. The ultrasonic cleaning machine has a simple structure and can simultaneously perform ultrasonic decontamination on the side and bottom of the workpiece 9 to be cleaned placed in the center of the cleaning tank 10, with high cleaning efficiency and good effect, and can efficiently clean workpieces such as traction machine rotors that require high cleaning effects.
