Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultrasonic cleaning equipment technology, specifically to an ultrasonic cleaning machine with a circulating material feeding function. Background Technology
[0002] Ultrasonic cleaning machines primarily use transducers to convert the acoustic energy of a high-power ultrasonic frequency source into mechanical vibrations. These vibrations are then radiated through the walls of the cleaning tank into the cleaning fluid. Microbubbles in the cleaning fluid vibrate under the influence of the sound waves, forming and growing in the negative pressure zone where the ultrasonic waves propagate longitudinally. They then rapidly close in the positive pressure zone, generating shock waves that break down insoluble contaminants and disperse them in the cleaning fluid, thereby achieving the cleaning purpose.
[0003] For example, the utility model patent disclosed in publication number CN220028006U discloses an ultrasonic cleaning device with loading and unloading functions. It includes a steel housing, with a cleaning tank fixedly connected to the top of the housing. Three sets of ultrasonic generators are installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank, and a loading and unloading mechanism is provided on the top of the material tray. This ultrasonic cleaning device with loading and unloading functions is equipped with a material tray, an electric push rod, a push plate, and a pull plate. In use, the cleaning tank is filled with cleaning fluid, and then workpieces are placed into the tank one by one. The ultrasonic generators emit ultrasonic waves. When placing materials, the electric push rod extends upward and pushes the push plate upward. The push plate pulls the material tray upward via the pull plate, facilitating workpiece placement by the operator. After the workpieces are placed, the electric push rod retracts, and the material tray sinks, completely submerging the workpieces in the cleaning fluid. This achieves the function of easy loading and unloading, solving the problem of devices lacking this function.
[0004] Although the aforementioned ultrasonic cleaning equipment can clean workpieces, its automation and efficiency in cyclically loading and unloading the workpieces to be cleaned are insufficient. At the same time, the stability of the limiting position is also insufficient when the equipment is cleaning the workpieces, which reduces the efficiency of cleaning the workpieces. Therefore, an ultrasonic cleaning machine with a circulating feeding function is needed to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultrasonic cleaner with a circulating feed function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an ultrasonic cleaning machine with a circulating feeding function, comprising an ultrasonic cleaning machine body for support, liquid guide pipes located at the front and rear of the ultrasonic cleaning machine body, and connecting casters for displacement located at the four corners of the lower end face of the ultrasonic cleaning machine body, and limit brackets symmetrically provided on the upper end face of the ultrasonic cleaning machine body.
[0007] The material guiding device is fixedly installed at the center of the upper end face of the two sets of limiting card seats, and four sets of transmission card shafts are rotatably connected to the inner end face of the limiting card seats and the ultrasonic cleaning machine body. Each set of transmission card shafts has two sets of synchronous pulleys on its outer end face.
[0008] The transmission device connects the outer end faces of the four sets of synchronous pulleys through the transmission device, and a servo motor is provided on the side end face of the limiting card seat opposite the transmission card shaft.
[0009] The cleaning fixture is provided in multiple sets, and the cleaning fixture is fixedly connected between two sets of the transmission device.
[0010] Preferably, the material guiding device includes a connecting plate, a material guiding slide plate is fixedly provided at one end of the connecting plate, and a material guiding seat is fixedly provided at the other end of the connecting plate. A stepper motor is provided at the bottom of the side end face of the material guiding seat, and a ball screw is fixedly provided at the output end of the stepper motor. A ball slide is slidably connected to the inner end face of the material guiding seat through the ball screw thread, and a material pushing plate for guiding material is provided on the upper end face of the ball slide.
[0011] Preferably, the cleaning fixture includes a cleaning cover, two sets of alignment plates are symmetrically arranged on the side end face of the cleaning cover, and an alignment seat is provided at the center of the upper end face of the cleaning cover. A connecting pressure plate for guidance is slidably engaged on the inner end face of the alignment seat, and a support plate is fixedly arranged on the upper end face of the connecting pressure plate. Three sets of spring retaining rings are equidistantly arranged on the lower end face of the support plate.
[0012] Preferably, the transmission device includes a synchronous belt, a limiting clip is fixedly provided at the center of the outer end face of the synchronous belt, and alignment slots are provided at equal intervals on the inner end face of the limiting clip.
[0013] Preferably, the openings of the guide plate and the guide slide are directly opposite the cleaning cover. When the ball screw drives the push plate to move to the side limit, the push plate coincides with the inside of the cleaning cover. The push plate can push the workpiece forward and quickly and accurately guide the workpiece into the cleaning cover, improving the stability of subsequent workpiece loading.
[0014] Preferably, the lower end face of the spring retainer is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the alignment seat, and two sets of rounded corners are provided on the side of the connecting pressure plate. The rounded corners at the bottom of the connecting pressure plate can provide sufficient limiting space when the subsequent workpiece is introduced into the cleaning cover, and prevent the subsequent connecting pressure plate from limiting the introduced workpiece.
[0015] Preferably, the four sets of synchronous pulleys are meshed together by the synchronous belt, and the exterior of the cleaning cover is porous, which can effectively improve the cleaning efficiency of the subsequent cleaning fluid on the workpiece.
[0016] Preferably, the alignment slot is adapted to the alignment insert plate, and the cleaning cover is fixedly engaged inside the two sets of limiting card belts through the alignment slot and the alignment insert plate. The fixed engagement of the alignment slot and the alignment insert plate can facilitate the quick and accurate positioning of the cleaning cover outside the synchronous belt, and also improve the stability of the subsequent unloading of the cleaning cover.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0018] 1. When the workpiece is being circulated and guided, the stepper motor can drive the pusher plate to move back and forth inside the guide plate seat through the ball screw, so that the guide plate seat can accurately guide the loaded workpiece into the cleaning cover. At the same time, the loaded workpiece can be discharged from the cleaning cover through the guide slide plate, which effectively improves the automation and efficiency of the equipment for loading and unloading clean workpieces.
[0019] 2. In the present invention, when the workpiece is being cleaned in a cyclic manner, the servo motor can drive the synchronous belt to rotate in a cyclic meshing manner through four sets of synchronous pulleys. This allows multiple sets of cleaning covers to be cyclically introduced into the interior of the ultrasonic cleaning machine body under the drive of the synchronous belt and the limit cover, thereby completing the cyclic cleaning of the workpiece. At the same time, the connecting pressure plate can elastically press the workpiece introduced into the cleaning cover, thereby effectively improving the stability of the subsequent cleaning of the workpiece by the ultrasonic cleaning machine body.

[0031] The invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] Please see Figure 1-7One embodiment of the present invention provides an ultrasonic cleaner with a circulating feeding function, comprising an ultrasonic cleaner body 5 for support, liquid guide pipes 6 located at the front and rear of the ultrasonic cleaner body 5, and connecting casters 7 for displacement located at the four corners of the lower end face of the ultrasonic cleaner body 5, and limit seats 4 symmetrically provided on the upper end face of the ultrasonic cleaner body 5.
[0034] The material guiding device 2 is fixedly installed at the center of the upper end face of the two sets of limiting card seats 4, and is rotatably connected to the inner end face of the limiting card seat 4 and the ultrasonic cleaning machine body 5 with four sets of transmission card shafts 8. Each set of transmission card shafts 8 has two sets of synchronous pulleys 10 on its outer end face.
[0035] The transmission device 9 connects the outer end faces of the four sets of synchronous pulleys 10 through the transmission device 9. The side end face of the limit card seat 4 is provided with a servo motor 1 facing the transmission card shaft 8.
[0036] The cleaning fixture 3 is provided in multiple sets, and the cleaning fixture 3 is fixedly connected between two sets of transmission devices 9.
[0037] The material guiding device 2 includes a connecting plate 27. A material guiding slide plate 26 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting plate 27, and a material guiding seat 21 is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting plate 27. A stepper motor 23 is installed at the bottom of the side end face of the material guiding seat 21, and a ball screw 25 is fixedly installed at the output end of the stepper motor 23. A ball slide 24 is threadedly slidably connected to the inner end face of the material guiding seat 21 through the ball screw 25, and a pusher plate 22 for guiding material is installed on the upper end face of the ball slide 24.
[0038] The cleaning fixture 3 includes a cleaning cover 34. Two sets of alignment plates 35 are symmetrically arranged on the side end face of the cleaning cover 34, and an alignment seat 33 is arranged at the center of the upper end face of the cleaning cover 34. A connecting pressure plate 36 for guidance is slidably engaged on the inner end face of the alignment seat 33, and a support plate 32 is fixedly arranged on the upper end face of the connecting pressure plate 36. Three sets of spring retaining rings 31 are equidistantly arranged on the lower end face of the support plate 32.
[0039] The transmission device 9 includes a synchronous belt 91, a limiting belt 92 is fixedly provided at the center of the outer end face of the synchronous belt 91, and an alignment slot 93 is provided at equal intervals on the inner end face of the limiting belt 92.
[0040] The openings of the guide plate 21 and the guide slide plate 26 are directly opposite the cleaning cover 34. When the ball screw 25 drives the push plate 22 to move to the side limit, the push plate 22 overlaps with the inside of the cleaning cover 34. The push plate 22 can push the workpiece forward and quickly and accurately guide the workpiece into the inside of the cleaning cover 34, improving the stability of subsequent workpiece loading.
[0041] The lower end face of the spring retainer 31 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the alignment holder 33. Two sets of rounded corners are provided on the side of the connecting pressure plate 36. The rounded corners at the bottom of the connecting pressure plate 36 can provide sufficient limiting space when the subsequent workpiece is introduced into the cleaning cover 34, and prevent the subsequent connecting pressure plate 36 from limiting the introduced workpiece.
[0042] The four sets of synchronous pulleys 10 are connected by synchronous belts 91. The exterior of the cleaning cover 34 is porous, which can effectively improve the cleaning efficiency of the subsequent cleaning fluid on the workpiece.
[0043] The alignment slot 93 is adapted to the alignment plate 35, and the cleaning cover 34 is fixedly engaged inside the two sets of limiting belts 92 through the alignment slot 93 and the alignment plate 35. The fixed engagement of the alignment slot 93 and the alignment plate 35 can facilitate the quick and accurate positioning of the cleaning cover 34 to the outside of the timing belt 91, and also improve the stability of the subsequent feeding of the cleaning cover 34.
[0044] Working Principle: Before use, the user can position the external workpiece loading module on the upper part of the guide holder 21. During the cyclic cleaning operation, the external loading module can position the workpiece to be cleaned inside the guide holder 21. At this time, the stepper motor 23 starts, which drives the ball screw 25 to rotate. When the ball screw 25 rotates, it drives the ball slide 24 and the pusher plate 22 to move synchronously inside the guide holder 21. The pusher plate 22 pushes the workpiece to slide along the length of the guide holder 21 until the workpiece is inserted into the cleaning cover 34. Under the guidance of the pusher plate 22, the workpiece continues to be inserted into the cleaning cover 34. When the tool is positioned at the connecting pressure plate 36... At this time, the workpiece can be elastically lifted by the rounded corners of the connecting pressure plate 36. When the workpiece is completely limited inside the cleaning cover 34, the connecting pressure plate 36 can complete the limiting and pressing of the workpiece through three sets of spring retaining rings 31 to prevent the workpiece from shifting during cleaning. During cleaning, the servo motor 1 can intermittently drive the transmission shaft 8 to rotate. The transmission shaft 8 can intermittently drive multiple sets of cleaning covers 34 to be cyclically introduced into the ultrasonic cleaning machine body 5 for cleaning through the meshing of four sets of synchronous pulleys 10 and synchronous belt 91. When the cleaned workpiece is repositioned at the guide plate seat 21, a new set of workpieces can push the cleaned workpiece out from inside the cleaning cover 34 and finally be unloaded by the guide plate slide 26.
