The wet cleaning machine is equipped with liquid knife and air knife equipment. The cleaning liquid or gas is poured into the liquid knife or air knife, and the pressure of the liquid or gas enables the liquid knife or air knife to produce a comprehensive and uniform flushing or blowing effect.

[0003] Because the gap between the outlets of the liquid knife and the air knife is very small, and a comprehensive and uniform flushing or blowing effect is required. If there are tiny foreign objects in the cleaning liquid or gas that enter the liquid knife or the air knife, it is easy to cause the outlet of the liquid knife and the air knife to be blocked, which will cause incomplete cleaning or blowing, and reduce the production yield. Therefore, when the outlet of the liquid knife or the air knife is blocked, it is necessary to disassemble and clean the liquid knife or the air knife. So that the foreign objects inside can be removed and the cleaning effect can be maintained. However, because the outlet of the liquid knife or the air knife is extremely small and the parts are relatively complicated, each disassembly, cleaning and correction of the outlet gap often takes a considerable amount of time, resulting in low efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] A main body 10, a central recessed accommodating space 11 is provided, three injection units 12 are provided at the top of the accommodating space 11 and communicate with the accommodating space 11; a discharge unit 13 is provided at the bottom of the accommodating space 11; the main body 10 is provided with two discharge outlets 14 on two sides of the discharge unit 13 obliquely away from the accommodating space 11, and the discharge outlets 14 can be communicated with the accommodating space 11; the upper part of the accommodating space 11 is a relaxation interval 111, and the lower part is a saturation zone 112, the relaxation interval 111 is connected to the injection unit 12; the saturation zone 112 is connected to the discharge unit 13; the injection units 12 respectively include an injection port 121 and a buffer portion 122, the injection ports 121 are provided at the top of the main body 10, the buffer portion 122 is provided below the injection port 121 and communicates with the relaxation interval 111 of the accommodating space 11, and the buffer portion 122 The cross-sectional area is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the injection port 121; the discharge unit 13 is composed of a spring portion 131, a discharge groove 132 and an adjustment portion. The spring portion 131 has a single sheet structure with elasticity. The discharge groove 132 is recessed on the spring portion 131. The discharge groove 132 is connected to the saturated zone 112 below the accommodating space 11; the adjustment portion can adjust the position of the spring portion 131. The adjustment portion is a base 133 and a plurality of adjustment portions. The base 133 and the spring portion 131 are spaced apart from each other. The adjusting rods 134 in this embodiment are screws screwed on the base 133. The adjusting rods 134 can reciprocate on the base 133. The ends of the adjusting rods 134 are against the spring portion 131 to adjust the position of the spring portion 131. The discharge ports 14 are also disposed on the spring portion 131. The diameter of the discharge port 14 is 120 μm.

[0033] A guide portion 20 is disposed between the accommodating space 11 of the main body 10 and the discharge unit 13, that is, below the saturation zone 112 of the accommodating space 11 and above the discharge groove 132. The guide portion 20 is integrally formed and disposed on the main body 10. It can also be independently processed and installed in the main body 10, or formed in other ways; the top of the guide portion 20 has two inclined surfaces 21, which are inclined from the center of the guide portion 20 to both sides, and the bottom position of the two inclined surfaces 21 is connected to the two discharge ports 14. There is an angle θ between the two discharge ports 14 and the two inclined surfaces 21, and the angle is 120°~180°; in this embodiment, the angle θ is 150°, so that the intersection between the two discharge ports 14 and the two inclined surfaces 21 will not form a large turning point; the inclined surface 21 has an inclination from top to bottom.

[0034] A cover plate 30 is covered on the main body 10, and two outlet holes 31 are formed on the cover plate 30. The diameter of the outlet hole 31 is 4 mm, which is larger than the diameter of the two outlets 14, and the positions of the two outlet holes 31 are roughly set at the intersection of the bottom of the inclined surface 21 of the guide part 20 and the outlet 14; the outlet hole 31 can be selectively closed and opened by a plug or a bolt, and is usually in a closed state; in addition, an adjustable gap G is formed between the cover plate 30 and the outlet slot 132 at the front end of the spring piece part 131, and the position of the spring piece 131 is moved by the adjustment rod 134 to adjust the gap between the outlet slot and the cover plate 30, so as to control the size of the discharge amount.

[0035] When using, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, when the fluid knife is in use, a cleaning liquid or a fluid such as a gas is first injected into the main body 10 from the injection port 121 of the injection unit 12 above the main body 10. The fluid will flow from top to bottom due to gravity, and will first flow through the injection port 121 to the buffer portion 122. The cross-sectional area of ​​the buffer portion 122 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the injection port 121, so the fluid flowing into the injection port 121 will first remain in the buffer portion 122. Since the cross-sectional area of ​​the buffer portion 122 is larger than that of the injection port 121, the buffer portion 122 can evenly distribute the internal fluid to avoid concentration in a single position; then, the fluid in the buffer portion 122 flows from the mitigation interval area 111 to the saturation area 112. The fluid in the saturation area 112 will be gathered and evenly discharged from the gap G formed between the discharge slot 132 of the discharge unit 13 and the cover plate 30, and different functions such as coating, cleaning or drying will be evenly performed.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 6As shown in the figure, when the fluid flows from the saturated area 112 of the accommodating space 11 to the discharge groove 132 of the discharge unit 13, the fluid will first flow through the position of the guide portion 20. Due to the pressure of the fluid and the influence of gravity, the inclined surface 21 of the guide portion 20 will cause the foreign matter to fall along the inclined surface 21 to the bottom of the inclined surface 21 and be discharged through the discharge port 14. Because the aperture of the discharge port 14 is larger than the gap between the cover plate 30 and the discharge groove 132, a relatively larger outlet can be generated; the foreign matter can The fluid is discharged directly through the discharge port 14 along with the fluid, so that the gap G between the discharge slot 132 of the discharge unit 13 and the cover plate 30 can be kept unobstructed and not easily blocked by foreign matter. In this way, the coating of the fluid knife can be smooth, the yield rate is maintained, and the maintenance time is reduced. At the same time, because a relatively gentle intersection angle θ is maintained between the discharge port 14 and the inclined surface 21, the fluid can flow smoothly, so that impurities can be successfully discharged and are not easily retained in the accommodating space 11 or the discharge unit 13.

[0037] In addition, when encountering foreign matter larger than the aperture of the discharge port 14 (greater than 120 μm), so that the discharge port 14 cannot be discharged, or when cleaning and maintenance operations are required inside, the outlet hole 31 of the cover plate 30 can be opened, such as removing the plug or bolt, and the user can enter the accommodating space 11 through the discharge port 14 to clean the larger foreign matter or impurities. After cleaning, the discharge port 14 can be closed.

[0038] See also Figure 7 As shown, the spring portion 131 is supported by the adjusting rods 134 and can adjust the size of the gap G between the spring portion 131 and the cover plate 30. In this way, the discharge groove 132 and the cover plate 30 will be a flat surface without any obstacles, so that the fluid discharged from the discharge groove 132 will not be disturbed and will not cause diversion or uneven flow.

[0039] See also Figure 8 and 9 As shown, it is a second preferred embodiment provided by the present invention, and its main structure is the same as the previous preferred embodiment. The same structure is represented by the same symbols and will not be repeated. Among them:

[0040] The guide portion 20 has only one inclined surface 21, which is inclined from one side to the other side, and the discharge port 14 is provided at the bottom edge of the inclined surface 21 of the guide portion 20. Through the flow in a single direction. The fluid can flow obliquely in the same direction. In addition, the main body 10 is provided with a confluence groove 15 at a position relative to the outlet hole 31 of the cover plate 30. The confluence groove 15 is connected to the saturated zone 112. When foreign matter is not discharged from the discharge port 14 immediately, it can be accumulated in the confluence groove 15. Moreover, when the outlet hole 31 of the cover plate 30 is opened, the confluence groove 15 is opposite to the outlet hole 31, which can be cleaned in a centralized manner to improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0041] The fluid knife of the present invention can produce a good effect of removing foreign matter through the discharge port and the outlet hole, can maintain long-term operation without disassembly and maintenance, and can reduce maintenance costs.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
