[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 4According to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, an ultrasonic cleaning machine for vinyl records includes: a body 100, on which a cleaning tank 110 for accommodating and cleaning vinyl records is provided; a support 200, disposed on the body 100, on which a clearance groove 210 for avoiding vinyl records is provided; a first sliding assembly 300, including a first sliding member 310 and a drive wheel assembly 320, the first sliding member 310 being slidably connected to the support 200, the drive wheel assembly 320 being disposed on the first sliding member 310, and the first sliding member 310 being provided with a plurality of retaining plates 314; a second sliding member... The moving component 400 includes a second sliding member 410 and a driven wheel set 420. The second sliding member 410 is slidably connected to the bracket 200, and the driven wheel set 420 is disposed on the second sliding member 410. The driving component 500 is disposed on the bracket 200 and is respectively connected to the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 410. The driving component 500 can drive the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 410 to move closer to each other or further away from each other at the same time. The positioning component 600 is disposed on the driving component 500. The positioning component 600 cooperates with the locking plate 314 to keep the first sliding member 310 stationary.

[0037] An ultrasonic record cleaning machine according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 410 are driven by the driving component 500 to move away from or closer to each other on the bracket 200, while the positioning component 600 cooperates with the locking plate 314 on the first sliding member 310, so that the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 410 remain relatively stationary at corresponding different positions without the action of strong external force, thereby making the distance between the driving wheel set 320 and the driven wheel set 420 adapt to the corresponding specifications of the vinyl record at corresponding different positions. Based on the original ultrasonic cleaning machine, there is no need to increase the size of the cleaning tank 110 or the external motor, and the operation is simple and convenient without increasing the additional energy consumption.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 1 to 4 The drive assembly 500 includes a rotating gear 510 and a fixing frame 520. The fixing frame 520 is mounted on the bracket 200. The rotating gear 510 includes a gear end 511 and a rotating shaft end 512. The rotating shaft end 512 is hinged to the fixing frame 520. Both the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 410 are provided with racks 311. The gear end 511 meshes with the racks 311 on the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 410 respectively. The end of the rotating shaft end 512 is provided with an internal hexagonal hole. By inserting a tool into the internal hexagonal hole and rotating it, the gear end 511 is rotated, and the two racks 311 meshing with it are displaced in opposite directions, causing the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 410 to move closer or further away from each other until the positioning assembly 600 engages with the card plates 314 at different positions on the first sliding member 310, thereby adapting to different specifications of vinyl records.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 1 to 4 The end of the rotating shaft 512 is also provided with a detachable ground cover 530. The top cover 530 is used to close the internal hexagonal hole. The top cover 530 can prevent dust from the internal hexagonal hole. At the same time, the top cover 530 is flush with the upper surface of the body 100, which has an aesthetic effect.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 1 to 4 The positioning assembly 600 includes a positioning pin 610, an elastic element 620, and a pressure cap 630. The pressure cap 630 is mounted on the fixing frame 520. The positioning pin 610 is movably disposed between the pressure cap 630 and the fixing frame 520, with one end extending out of the pressure cap 630 and the other end extending out of the fixing frame 520. The elastic element 620 is disposed between the positioning pin 610 and the pressure cap 630. The end of the positioning pin 610 extending out of the fixing frame 520 has a recess 611. The recess 611 cooperates with the locking plate 314 to keep the first sliding member 310 stationary. During operation, after the locking plate 314 slides below the positioning pin 610, the locking plate 314 first contacts one side of the recess 611 of the positioning pin 610, thereby pushing one end of the positioning pin 610 upward. Press the cover 630 and continue sliding. Then, the clamping plate 314 enters the center position of the recess 611. At this time, the positioning pin 610 moves downward and engages with the clamping plate 314, which can restrict the first sliding member 310 from continuing to move. If the specification corresponding to this position is not the required specification, continue to apply force to rotate the rotating gear 510 so that the clamping plate 314 contacts the other side of the recess 611. After the positioning pin 610 is pushed upward again, it is disengaged from the position of the positioning pin 610. The first sliding member 310 continues to move until the next clamping plate 314 enters the position of the positioning pin 610. Repeat the above process until the clamping plate 314 corresponding to the required specification is switched. During the process, only the rotating gear 510 needs to be rotated with a tool, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 1 to 4 The positioning pin 610 is provided with a step portion 612, and the fixing frame 520 is provided with a baffle 521. The baffle 521 cooperates with the step portion 612 to restrict the positioning pin 610 from coming out of the fixing frame 520. By providing the step portion 612, the positioning pin 610 is restricted between the fixing frame 520 and the pressure cover 630, preventing the positioning pin 610 from coming out of the fixing frame 520 from below.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 1 to 4The bracket 200 is provided with a sliding groove 220, and the first sliding member 310 is provided with a sliding column 312. The end of the sliding column 312 is connected to a slider 313. The slider 313 restricts the sliding column 312 within the sliding groove 220, allowing the sliding column 312 to slide along the sliding groove 220. During the meshing and rotation of the gear end 511 and the rack 311, the sliding column 312 is displaced along the sliding groove 220, which can play a certain guiding role for the first sliding member 310, and at the same time ensure that the gear end 511 and the rack 311 are always meshed together and will not disengage.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 1 to 4 The bracket 200 is provided with an inverted L-shaped plate 230, and the side of the second sliding member 410 is provided with a protruding plate 411. The inverted L-shaped plate 230 restricts the protruding plate 411 on the bracket 200. The protruding plate 411 can slide along the length direction of the inverted L-shaped plate 230. Both sides of the bracket 200 are provided with inverted L-shaped plates 230, and both sides of the second sliding member 410 are provided with protruding plates 411. That is, the inverted L-shaped plates 230 on both sides restrict the second sliding member 410 in the middle, and the protruding plate 411 cooperates with the inverted L-shaped plate 230 to make the second sliding member 410 move along the length direction of the inverted L-shaped plate 230, so as to prevent the rack 311 from disengaging from the gear end 511.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 1 to 4 The first sliding member 310 is also equipped with a fan 700 for drying the vinyl record after cleaning.

[0045] A method of using an ultrasonic cleaning machine for vinyl records according to a second aspect of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0046] A. Open the protective cover on the main body 100 and open the upper cover 530 to screw it into the set angle to expose the internal hexagonal hole of the shaft end 512;

[0047] B. Insert the rotating tool into the internal hexagonal hole and rotate it to make the gear end 511 start to rotate, thereby driving the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 410 that mesh with the gear end 511 to move closer or further apart from each other.

[0048] C. Continuously rotate the rotating tool. When the corresponding size of the clamping plate 314 on the first sliding member 310 slides to the bottom of the fixing frame 520 and feels resistance, increase the force to rotate the rotating tool. When the positioning pin 610 extends upward and the pressure cover 630 moves downward, and resistance is felt for the second time, stop rotating the rotating tool. At this time, the positioning pin 610 and the clamping plate 314 have completed the engagement, so that the first sliding member 310 and the second sliding member 410 remain stationary. At this time, the distance between the driving wheel set 320 set on the first sliding member 310 and the driven wheel set 420 set on the second sliding member 410 is the size specification of the vinyl record that needs to be cleaned.
