[0033] See appendix Figure 1-6 This invention proposes a lens cleaning machine, which includes:
[0034] The mounting assembly 100 has a receiving cavity for accommodating the lens, and the height of the receiving cavity is greater than the length of the lens. By setting the height of the receiving cavity to be greater than the length of the lens, the lens can be vertically mounted in the mounting wall, avoiding wear caused by horizontal stacking in the receiving cavity.
[0035] The vibration component 200 is fixedly connected to the mounting component 100. The vibration component 200 is used to make the mounting component 100 vibrate. The vibration of the vibration component 200 is fed back to the mounting component 100, thereby achieving the vibration effect on the mounting component 100.
[0036] The rotating component 300 is connected to the vibration component 200 for transmission. The rotating component 300 is used to make the vibration component 200 rotate. When the vibration component 200 rotates, the mounting component 100 rotates with the vibration component 200.
[0037] Based on the above technical features, the rotation of the rotating component 300 drives the vibration component 200 and the placement component 100 to rotate, thereby achieving a vibration effect in the receiving cavity of the placement component 100 while rotating. With the vertically arranged lens, the lens is vertically placed on the placement component 100, and the water flow is vibrated and rotated for cleaning. While achieving cleaning, the situation of large-area contact between the lens placed horizontally in the receiving cavity and causing cleaning wear is avoided.
[0038] Furthermore, the vibration assembly 200 includes a first connecting plate 210, a vibration motor, a silicone pad 230, a second connecting plate 240, and a transmission connector 250. The vibration motor is sandwiched between the first connecting plate 210 and the second connecting plate 240. The first connecting plate 210 is fixedly pivotally connected to the mounting assembly 100. The transmission connector 250 is drive-connected to the rotating assembly 300. The silicone pad 230 is disposed between the transmission connector 250 and the second connecting plate 240. The vibration motor provides vibration feedback to the first connecting plate 210. By placing the silicone pad 230 between the second connecting plate 240 and the transmission connector 250, the vibration of the motor is further enhanced to transmit the vibration downwards, thus improving the vibration effect. The rotation of the transmission connector 250 and the rotating assembly 300 drives the vibration motor to rotate, and the rotation of the mounting assembly drives the rotation of the first connecting plate 210.
[0039] The rotating assembly 300 includes a first motor 310, a driving gear 320, a driven gear 330, and a transmission gear 340. The first motor 310 is connected to the driving gear 320, and the transmission gear 340 is connected to the transmission connector 250. The driving gear 320 is meshed with the driven gear 330, and the driven gear 330 is meshed with the transmission gear 340. The first motor 310 drives the driving gear 320, thereby realizing the transmission engagement between the transmission gear 340 and the transmission connector 250, and driving the rotation of the transmission connector 250. The transmission efficiency of the first motor 310 is improved through multi-stage gears.
[0040] Specifically, the vibration motor includes a drive power supply and a vibration motor 221. A conductive coil 241 is arranged along the circumference of the transmission connector 250. The vibration motor 221 is electrically connected to the conductive coil 241. The drive power supply can be electrically connected to or disconnected from the conductive coil 241. Through the electrical connection between the vibration motor 221 and the conductive coil 241, when the second connecting plate 240 rotates, the vibration motor 221 can maintain an electrical connection with the conductive coil 241 while rotating with the second connecting plate 240, thereby realizing the continuous operation of the vibration motor 221.
[0041] In this embodiment, the vibration motor also includes an opening and closing structure, which includes a guide head 222 and a guide component; the guide component can be close to or away from the guide head 222, and the drive power supply is located at the guide head 222; the power supply connection with the vibration motor is realized through the guide head 222, thereby realizing the drive power supply to start the vibration motor.
[0042] When the guide head 222 contacts the guide assembly, the guide head 222 can be electrically connected to the conductive coil 241. When the guide assembly moves away from the guide head 222, the drive power supply is disconnected from the conductive coil 241.
[0043] Specifically, the guide assembly includes a rotary motor 223 and a steering plate 224 connected to the rotary motor 223. The rotary motor 223 can drive the steering plate 224 to swing. Further, the guide head 222 is located at the lower end of the second connecting plate 240. The guide assembly is located on one side of the guide head 222, and one side of the steering plate 224 is opposite to one side of the guide head 222. The steering plate 224 is inclined with a sliding groove along the horizontal plane. The guide head 222 extends outward from the side facing the steering plate 224 with a positioning post. The positioning post is fitted and connected to the sliding groove. When the rotary motor 223 drives the steering plate 224 to rotate back and forth, it slides back and forth, thereby driving the guide head 222 to move up and down in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the contact and separation between the guide head 222 and the wire coil.
[0044] When the vibration motor needs to work, rotating the motor 223 drives the steering plate 224 to rotate, which in turn drives the guide head 222 to contact the wire coil.
[0045] The driven gear 330 includes an external gear ring 331 and an internal gear 332 coaxially arranged with the external gear ring 331. The external gear ring 331 includes an external tooth surface and an internal tooth surface. The external tooth surface meshes with the driving gear 320, and the internal tooth surface meshes with the transmission gear 340. The internal tooth surface includes an internal smooth section and an internal meshing section. The internal gear 332 is provided with an external meshing section and an external smooth section. The external meshing section and the internal meshing section are arranged facing each other. Both the internal meshing section and the external meshing section are connected to the transmission gear 340 for transmission. The discontinuous transmission with the drive gear 340 is achieved through the meshing sections of the external gear ring 331 and the internal gear 332. The speed change can be achieved by the drive gear 340 and the driven gear 330 rotating one revolution. Since the circumferences of the internal and external meshing sections are different, the transmission gear 340 can achieve speed change from low speed to high speed. Unlike conventional speed change structures, speed change can be achieved solely through the external gear ring 331 and the internal gear 332 of the driven gear 330.
[0046] Furthermore, the first connecting plate 210 is provided with a fitting shaft 211, and the periphery of the fitting shaft 211 is provided with a planar guide surface. The mounting component 100 is provided with a fitting groove that matches and fits into the contour of the fitting shaft 211. The fitting groove enables the first connecting plate 210 and the mounting component 100 to be fixed in the rotational circumferential direction, thereby enabling the first connecting plate 210 to drive the rotation of the mounting component 100.
[0047] In this embodiment, a magnetic suction member 212 is provided on the side of the first connecting plate 210 facing the placement component 100, and an adsorption member 110 is provided on the side of the placement component 100 facing the first connecting plate 210. The magnetic suction member 212 can be adsorbed with the adsorption member 110; this facilitates the disassembly and connection and adsorption combination between the placement component 100 and the first connecting plate 210, and improves the convenience of disassembly.
[0048] The mounting assembly 100 includes a fixing clamp for fixing the lens. The fixing clamp includes a first clamp and a second clamp, which are disposed in the receiving cavity. Lenses on different sides can be clamped and fixed by the first clamp and the second clamp respectively, reducing wear on the lens and the mounting assembly 100 during the cleaning process.
[0049] Specifically, the lens cleaning machine includes a housing 400, a cover plate vibration assembly 200, and a rotation assembly 300 disposed within the housing 400, and a mounting assembly 100 disposed on the outside of the housing 400; the cover plate has a cavity in which the mounting assembly 100 can be accommodated, and the cover plate can close to the housing 400; thus, the integrated structure of the lens cleaning machine is more complete, and the cover plate provides protection for the mounting assembly 100 during the cleaning process.
