Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultrasonic cleaning equipment, and more specifically to a large-scale automated ultrasonic cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasonic cleaning utilizes the cavitation, acceleration, and direct flow effects of ultrasound waves in liquids to directly and indirectly affect the liquid and contaminants, thereby dispersing, emulsifying, and peeling off the contaminant layer to achieve the cleaning purpose. Currently, cavitation and direct flow effects are more commonly used in ultrasonic cleaning machines.

[0003] Traditional ultrasonic cleaning involves manual loading and unloading of materials and only one cleaning cycle. In most cases, one cleaning cycle is insufficient to meet the cleaning requirements, and the materials will likely need to be returned for repeated cleaning. This is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a large-scale automated ultrasonic cleaning machine with a simple structure, which can realize the fully automated ultrasonic cleaning function of workpieces, and multiple workpieces can be cleaned simultaneously or multiple times, with good results.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a large-scale automated ultrasonic cleaning machine, comprising a cleaning assembly, with a feeding assembly and a discharging assembly respectively disposed on both sides of the cleaning assembly, and a conveying assembly disposed on one side of the discharging assembly; the cleaning assembly includes cleaning tanks arranged side by side, a protective shell disposed on the outer side of the cleaning tanks, and a lifting frame disposed on the top, with a lifting chain adapted to the lifting frame disposed on the protective shell, bearing seats disposed on both the upper and lower sides of the lifting chain, and a synchronous shaft disposed between adjacent lifting chains; a translation frame disposed on the lifting frame, and a hook disposed at the bottom of the translation frame.

[0006] Furthermore, a liquid storage tank is provided on one side of the cleaning assembly, and a filter is provided on the liquid storage tank.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the cleaning tanks is equipped with a heating tube on its side.

[0008] Furthermore, a guide plate is provided on one side of the lifting frame, and a guide shaft adapted to the guide plate is provided on the protective shell.

[0009] Furthermore, a slide rail is provided on the top of the lifting frame, and a slider adapted to the slide rail is provided on the translation frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the distance between adjacent hooks is equal to the size of the cleaning tank, and the number of hooks is one more than the number of cleaning tanks.

[0011] Furthermore, the feeding assembly, unloading assembly, and conveying assembly all include an auxiliary frame, and the auxiliary frame is equipped with a chain drive system. The unloading assembly is provided with a lifting base near the conveying assembly, and the lifting base is controlled by a lifting motor.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting frame is provided with a translation fixing plate, the translation fixing plate is provided with a translation motor, the output end of the translation motor is provided with a gear, and the translation frame is provided with a rack corresponding to the position of the gear.

[0013] Furthermore, an auxiliary positioning plate is provided inside the cleaning tank.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This device uses a feeding assembly for feeding, and a translation frame can move back and forth on a lifting frame. The lifting frame can also move up and down, driven by a lifting chain to move the lifting frame up and down within the protective housing. The specific working method is as follows: First, the lifting frame descends, so that the hook closest to the feeding assembly hooks the material. At this time, the lifting frame rises, and then the translation frame moves horizontally, moving the material directly above the foremost cleaning tank. Then, the lifting frame descends, moving the material into the cleaning tank. Following the above operation, new materials can continue to be moved into the cleaning tank. Whenever new material is moved into the preceding cleaning tank, the material previously in the cleaning tank will be carried into the next cleaning tank. That is, the material will pass through the arranged cleaning tanks in sequence until the last cleaning tank is carried out by the hook and enters the unloading assembly, realizing fully automated cleaning and allowing multiple cleanings of a single material.

However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0022] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0023] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0025] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of a large-scale automated ultrasonic cleaning machine of the present invention includes a cleaning assembly 1. A feeding assembly 2 and a discharging assembly 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the cleaning assembly 1. A conveying assembly 4 is arranged on one side of the discharging assembly 3. The cleaning assembly 1 includes cleaning tanks 5 arranged side-by-side. A protective shell 6 is provided on the outer side of the cleaning tank 5, and a lifting frame 7 is provided on the top. A lifting chain 8 adapted to the lifting frame 7 is provided on the protective shell 6. Bearing seats 9 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the lifting chain 8. A synchronous shaft 10 (with a drive wheel and a drive motor on the synchronous shaft 10, partially shown in the figure) is provided between adjacent lifting chains 8. A translation frame 11 is provided on the lifting frame 7, and a hook 12 is provided at the bottom of the translation frame 11.

[0027] In use, the material is fed through the feeding component 2. The translation frame 11 can move back and forth on the lifting frame 7. The lifting frame 7 can move up and down. The lifting chain 8 drives the lifting frame 7 to move up and down within the protective shell 6. The specific working method is as follows: First, the lifting frame 7 descends, so that the hook 12 closest to the feeding component 2 hangs the material. At this time, the lifting frame 7 rises. Then, the translation frame 11 moves horizontally, moving the material directly above the front cleaning tank 5. Then, the lifting frame 7 descends, moving the material into the cleaning tank 5. Following the above operation, new materials can continue to be moved into the cleaning tank 5. Whenever new materials are moved into the front cleaning tank 5, the materials previously in the cleaning tank 5 will be carried into the next cleaning tank 5. That is, the materials will pass through the arranged cleaning tanks 5 in sequence until the last cleaning tank 5 is carried out by the hook 12 and enters the unloading component 3.

[0028] A liquid storage tank 13 is provided on one side of the cleaning component 1. A filter 14 is provided on the liquid storage tank 13 for storing cleaning agent, so that the cleaning agent can be replenished and replaced at any time. The built-in filter 14 can perform preliminary filtration of the cleaning agent.

[0029] Each of the cleaning tanks 5 is equipped with a heating tube 15 on its side, which can be adjusted to accommodate different workpieces requiring different temperatures.

[0030] A guide plate 16 is provided on one side of the lifting frame 7, and a guide shaft 17 adapted to the guide plate 16 is provided on the protective shell 6. The lifting frame 7 will not deviate to the left or right during the process of being pulled up by the lifting chain 8.

[0031] The top of the lifting frame 7 is provided with a slide rail 18, and the translation frame 11 is provided with a slider 19 adapted to the slide rail 18, so that the translation frame 11 can move left and right on the lifting frame 7.

[0032] The distance between adjacent hooks 12 is equal to the size of the washing tank 5. The number of hooks 12 is one more than the number of washing tanks 5. That is, during the material transportation process, there is always one hook 12 that is sending material into or out of the washing tank 5.

[0033] The feeding assembly 2, the unloading assembly 3, and the conveying assembly 4 all include an auxiliary frame 20. The auxiliary frame 20 is equipped with a chain drive system 21. The unloading assembly 3 is equipped with a lifting base 22 near the conveying assembly 4. The lifting base 22 is controlled by a lifting motor 23. When the material moves on the unloading assembly 3, there is a height difference between the auxiliary frame 20 of the unloading assembly 3 and the auxiliary frame 20 of the conveying assembly 4. Therefore, the lifting motor 23 drives the lifting base 22 to lift the material to the same height as the auxiliary frame 20.

[0034] A translational fixing plate 24 is provided on the lifting frame 7, and a translational motor 25 is provided on the translational fixing plate 24. A gear 26 is provided at the output end of the translational motor 25. A rack 27 is provided on the translational frame 11 at the position corresponding to the gear 26. The movement operation of the translational frame 11 is as follows: the translational motor 25 drives the gear 26 to rotate, and the cooperation between the gear 26 and the rack 27 can drive the translational frame 11 to move left and right on the lifting frame 7.

[0035] The cleaning tank 5 is equipped with an auxiliary positioning plate 28, which makes it easier to lift the material and improves the cleaning effect.

[0036] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments for fully illustrating the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims.
