Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of LED lighting technology, specifically to a cleaning method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for LED light sources. Background Technology

[0002] LED lights, as a popular product on the market, are favored by consumers for their energy-saving, environmentally friendly, high brightness, and long lifespan. However, some LED lights require the LED light source to be placed in a sealed or well-sealed enclosure. During operation, LED lights generate heat, which accumulates inside the enclosure, raising the overall temperature of the LED light. Residues on the LED light source, such as flux and contaminants on the LED chips, can easily produce inorganic or organic volatile substances at high temperatures. Over time, these volatile substances can penetrate the LED light source, leading to premature product failure. While some technologies involve immersing the LED light source in a cleaning solution for a period of time, the high temperature during cleaning can cause the cleaning solution to evaporate, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for cleaning LED light sources, which can thoroughly clean LED light sources at high temperatures.

[0004] The technical solution of this application embodiment is as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for cleaning an LED light source, the method comprising:

[0006] When an LED light source is detected in the preset cleaning frame, the environmental conditions are obtained, including the ambient temperature.

[0007] When the ambient temperature is greater than a preset temperature threshold, the adding device is controlled to add cleaning fluid to a sprayer containing cleaning fluid, wherein the sprayer is positioned above the cleaning frame.

[0008] The sprayer is controlled to spray the cleaning solution to clean the LED light source, and the preset cleaning time is extended to obtain the LED light source after the first cleaning.

[0009] The first cleaned LED light source is dried to obtain a first dried LED light source;

[0010] The first dried LED light source is tested to obtain the test result. If the test result is less than a preset threshold, the adding device is controlled to add clean water to the sprayer, wherein the cleaning fluid in the sprayer has been replaced by clean water.

[0011] The LED light source is cleaned by spraying clean water from the sprayer, and the cleaning time is extended to obtain a second cleaned LED light source. The second cleaned LED light source is then dried to obtain a second dried LED light source.

[0012] In the above technical solution, when an LED light source is detected in the preset cleaning frame, environmental conditions are acquired, including ambient temperature. Acquiring the ambient temperature helps in subsequent judgments regarding whether to add cleaning fluid for thorough cleaning. If the ambient temperature exceeds a preset temperature threshold, the adding device is controlled to add cleaning fluid to a sprayer containing cleaning fluid. The sprayer is positioned above the cleaning frame to prevent the cleaning fluid from evaporating due to excessive temperature, which could result in insufficient cleaning. The sprayer is controlled to spray cleaning fluid onto the LED light source, and the preset cleaning time is extended to obtain the first cleaned LED light source. At higher temperatures, evaporation reduces the amount of cleaning fluid; extending the cleaning time ensures more thorough contact between the LED light source and the cleaning fluid, resulting in more complete cleaning. The first cleaned LED light source... The LED light source is dried to obtain a first dried LED light source. This drying process makes the first cleaned LED light source usable and improves its reliability. The first dried LED light source is then tested to obtain the test results, which reflect whether it has been cleaned thoroughly with the cleaning solution. If the test result is less than a preset threshold, clean water is added to the sprayer via a control device. The cleaning solution in the sprayer has been replaced by clean water, and the process is repeated to achieve thorough cleaning. The clean water sprayed by the sprayer is then used to clean the LED light source, and the cleaning time is extended to obtain a second cleaned LED light source. The second cleaned LED light source is then dried to obtain a second dried LED light source. Through these two cleaning processes, the light source is ensured to be cleaned thoroughly even under high-temperature and volatile conditions.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, drying the first cleaned LED light source to obtain a first dried LED light source includes:

[0014] Within a preset drying time, the drying device is controlled to start high-pressure air to dry the first cleaned LED light source, thereby obtaining the first dried LED light source.

[0015] The step of drying the second cleaned LED light source to obtain a second dried LED light source includes:

[0016] During the air-drying time, the drying device is controlled to start high-pressure air to dry the second cleaned LED light source, thereby obtaining the second dried LED light source.

[0017] In the above technical solution, within a preset drying time, the drying device activates high-pressure air to dry the first cleaned LED light source, removing cleaning fluid and residual substances to obtain a first dried LED light source. The second cleaned LED light source also needs to be dried to obtain a second dried LED light source for use. High-pressure air drying of the LED light source effectively removes cleaning fluid and residue adhering to it, minimizing the removal of cleaning fluid and residue and ensuring cleaning quality.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the environmental conditions further include ambient humidity;

[0019] Before the control drying device activates high-pressure air to dry the first cleaned LED light source, and before obtaining the first dried LED light source, the method further includes:

[0020] When the ambient humidity is less than a preset first humidity threshold, the drying time is shortened.

[0021] If the ambient humidity is greater than or equal to a preset second humidity threshold, the drying time is increased, where the second humidity threshold is greater than the first humidity threshold.

[0022] In the above technical solution, when the ambient humidity is less than the preset first humidity threshold, it indicates that the ambient humidity is low and the moisture content is low, so it can be dried quickly, thus shortening the drying time and saving resources; when the ambient humidity is greater than or equal to the preset second humidity threshold, it indicates that the ambient humidity is high and the moisture content is high, so it is not easy to dry, thus increasing the drying time to remove the cleaning liquid and residues on the LED light source as much as possible and ensure the cleaning quality.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the high-pressure air is high-pressure air with a pressure of 100-300 kPa and a temperature of 35-50°C.

[0024] In the above technical solution, high-pressure air with a pressure of 100-300 kPa and a temperature of 35-50℃ is used to dry the LED light source in order to remove residual substances and cleaning fluid from the LED light source.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the preset cleaning frame includes a base plate, side plates, and partition plates. The side plates surround the base plate, and the partition plates divide the surrounded area into multiple accommodating cavities. A suspension rod is provided above each of the accommodating cavities, and the sprayer is suspended on the suspension rod. The sprayer is provided above each of the accommodating cavities, and the sprayer is provided with an inlet. The sprayer is connected to the adding device through the inlet, and the cleaning liquid flows out from the opening of the sprayer into the accommodating cavity.

[0026] In the above technical solution, the sprayer can spray the cleaning fluid continuously, and the cleaning fluid can also be added to the sprayer through the addition device to avoid the cleaning fluid from evaporating due to high temperature and the cleaning fluid from decreasing, resulting in insufficient cleaning.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, while controlling the sprayer to spray the cleaning fluid to clean the LED light source and extending the preset cleaning time to obtain the first cleaned LED light source, the method further includes:

[0028] A preset vibration device is activated by control, the vibration device being used to move the LED light source, wherein the vibration device is disposed on the bottom plate on the side away from the receiving cavity.

[0029] In the above technical solution, a vibration device is installed on the base plate. While the sprayer is spraying the cleaning liquid, the vibration device is activated to allow the LED light source to flow, ensuring that the LED light source and the cleaning liquid are in full contact, thus guaranteeing the cleaning quality.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, the cleaning solution is an organic solution containing 10-50 wt% solvent, which is composed of one or more of ethanol, acetone, and n-hexane.

[0031] In the above technical solution, the organic solution contains 10-50 wt% solvent, which is composed of one or more of ethanol, acetone, and n-hexane. The cleaning solution is an aqueous solution of acetone, diluted with deionized water, and the volume ratio of acetone to deionized water is 1:4. Since deionized water does not contain ionic impurities, it can avoid causing open circuits or short circuits in the LED light source during the cleaning process.

[0032] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a cleaning apparatus for an LED light source, the apparatus comprising:

[0033] The detection module is used to acquire environmental conditions, including ambient temperature, when an LED light source is detected in a preset cleaning frame.

[0034] The addition module is used to control the addition device to add cleaning fluid to the sprayer containing cleaning fluid when the ambient temperature is greater than a preset temperature threshold, wherein the sprayer is located above the cleaning frame.

[0035] The cleaning module is used to control the sprayer to spray the cleaning liquid to clean the LED light source and extend the preset cleaning time to obtain the LED light source after the first cleaning.

[0036] The air-drying module is used to dry the first cleaned LED light source to obtain the first dried LED light source;

[0037] The addition module is used to detect the first dried LED light source and obtain the detection result. If the detection result is less than a preset threshold, the addition device is controlled to add clean water to the sprayer, wherein the cleaning fluid in the sprayer has been replaced by clean water.

[0038] The cleaning module is used to control the sprayer to spray clean water to clean the LED light source and extend the cleaning time to obtain a second cleaned LED light source. The drying module 140 is used to dry the second cleaned LED light source to obtain a second dried LED light source.

[0041] In summary, one or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0042] 1. By employing a technique that acquires ambient temperature and, when the ambient temperature exceeds a preset temperature threshold, controls the addition of cleaning fluid to the sprayer, the cleaning fluid is used to clean the LED light source. The cleaning time is extended to obtain a first-cleaned LED light source, which is then dried. The dried LED light source is then tested; if the test result is below a preset threshold, it is cleaned again with clean water. This effectively solves the problem in related technologies where high temperatures can cause cleaning fluid evaporation, leading to incomplete cleaning. By first determining the temperature to decide whether to add cleaning fluid, and then extending the cleaning time after adding the cleaning fluid, the cleaning fluid can fully contact the LED light source, resulting in more thorough cleaning. Finally, by testing and confirming that the test result is below a preset threshold, a second cleaning is performed, achieving thorough cleaning even under high-temperature and volatile conditions.

[0049] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this specification, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0050] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the words "for example" or "for instance" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design that is described as "for example" or "for instance" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design options. Rather, the use of the words "for example" or "for instance" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0051] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the term "multiple" means two or more. For example, multiple systems means two or more systems, and multiple screen terminals means two or more screen terminals. 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 indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof all mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0052] This application provides a method, apparatus, electronic device, and readable storage medium for cleaning LED light sources. The method involves acquiring environmental conditions, including ambient temperature, when an LED light source is detected in a preset cleaning frame. Acquiring the ambient temperature helps determine whether to add cleaning fluid for thorough cleaning. If the ambient temperature exceeds a preset temperature threshold, a device is controlled to add cleaning fluid to a sprayer containing cleaning fluid. The sprayer is positioned above the cleaning frame to prevent excessively high temperatures from causing the cleaning fluid to evaporate and resulting in insufficient cleaning. The sprayer is then controlled to spray cleaning fluid onto the LED light source, and the cleaning time is extended by a preset period to obtain a first-cleaned LED light source. At higher temperatures, evaporation reduces the amount of cleaning fluid; extending the cleaning time ensures more thorough contact between the LED light source and the cleaning fluid, resulting in more complete cleaning. The first-cleaned LED light source is then dried to obtain a first-dried LED light source. This drying process makes the first-cleaned LED light source usable, improving its reliability. Compared to related technologies where high temperatures during cleaning can cause the cleaning solution to evaporate, resulting in incomplete cleaning, this method first determines whether to add cleaning solution based on temperature. After adding the cleaning solution, extending the cleaning time ensures sufficient contact between the cleaning solution and the LED light source, leading to more thorough cleaning. The first dried LED light source is then tested to determine if it is clean. If the test result is below a preset threshold, clean water is added to the sprayer, replacing the cleaning solution in the sprayer and purifying it again to achieve a clean result. The sprayed water is then used to clean the LED light source, with the cleaning time extended to obtain a second cleaned LED light source. This second cleaned LED light source is then dried to obtain a second dried LED light source. This two-stage cleaning process ensures that the light source is cleaned effectively even under high-temperature, volatile conditions.

[0053] It should be noted that the LED light source includes a PCB board and LED beads. The cleaning method for the LED light source can be applied to the cleaning of the PCB board and LED beads. The LED beads are fixed to the PCB board by soldering, which can clean the entire PCB board. The embodiments of this application can automatically and thoroughly clean the LED light source.

[0054] The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic flowchart of the LED light source cleaning method provided in the embodiments of this application. The LED light source cleaning method is applied to an LED light source cleaning device and is executed by a processor in an electronic device or a readable storage medium. The LED light source cleaning method includes steps S100, S200, S300, S400, S500 and S600.

[0056] Step S100: When an LED light source is detected in the preset cleaning frame, the environmental conditions are obtained, including the ambient temperature.

[0057] In one embodiment, a sensor is installed at the bottom of the cleaning frame. The sensor detects whether an LED light source has been placed in the cleaning frame. When an LED light source is placed in the cleaning frame, the sensor detects this information and transmits the detection data to the controller. Upon receiving a preset indication that an LED light source is present in the cleaning frame, the controller acquires the environmental conditions, including the ambient temperature. The environmental conditions are acquired by detecting the current ambient temperature using a temperature sensor. This information is helpful for subsequently determining whether cleaning fluid needs to be added based on the ambient temperature.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the preset cleaning frame includes a base plate 201, a side plate 202, and a partition plate 203. The side plate 202 surrounds the base plate 201. Multiple partition plates 203 divide the surrounded area into multiple receiving cavities 207. A suspension rod 204 is provided above each receiving cavity 207. A sprayer 205 is suspended on the suspension rod 204. A sprayer 205 is suspended above each receiving cavity 207. The sprayer 205 is provided with an inlet. The sprayer 205 is connected to the adding device through the inlet. The cleaning liquid flows out from the opening of the sprayer 205 into the receiving cavity 207.

[0059] In another embodiment, each receiving cavity 207 is surrounded by a partition plate 203, or by a side plate 202 and a partition plate 203. At the opening away from the bottom plate 201, non-adjacent partition plates 203 are respectively provided with a first through hole 206 and a second through hole 208. The two ends of the suspension rod 204 pass through the first through hole 206 and the second through hole 208 respectively and are fixed to the partition plate 203, so that a suspension rod 204 is provided above each receiving cavity 207, so that one receiving cavity 207 corresponds to one sprayer 205. Since multiple partition plates 203 divide the surrounding area into multiple receiving cavities 207, the multiple receiving cavities 207 are arranged horizontally and in rows. On each horizontal row, a fixing device is provided on one side of the side plate 202. The fixing device is provided with a through hole, and the suspension rod 204 passes through the through hole above each receiving cavity 207.

[0060] In one embodiment, while controlling the sprayer 205 to spray cleaning fluid to clean the LED light source and extending the preset cleaning time to obtain the first cleaned LED light source, the LED light source cleaning method also includes, but is not limited to, controlling the activation of a preset vibration device. The vibration device is set on the bottom plate 201 on the side away from the receiving cavity 207. The vibration device causes the bottom plate 201 in contact with the LED light source to vibrate, thereby causing the LED light source to flow so as to fully contact the cleaning fluid sprayed by the sprayer 205 and perform thorough cleaning.

[0061] In one embodiment, a water outlet and a corresponding switch are provided on the side of the base plate 201 away from the receiving cavity 207. This water outlet switch is closed when the sprayer 205 sprays the cleaning fluid, ensuring that the LED light source can be immersed in the cleaning fluid for a period of time to guarantee cleaning quality. After cleaning, the water outlet switch is opened to release the cleaning fluid. Alternatively, the cleaning fluid can be replaced during the cleaning process, combined with a cleaning fluid adding device, to allow for continuous cleaning of the LED light source, making the cleaning more thorough and ensuring cleaning quality.

[0062] Step S200: When the ambient temperature is greater than a preset temperature threshold, the adding device is controlled to add cleaning fluid to the sprayer containing cleaning fluid, wherein the sprayer is positioned above the cleaning frame.

[0063] In one embodiment, the preset temperature threshold can be 80°C or 90°C. The cleaning solution is an organic solution containing 10-50 wt% solvent, which is composed of one or more of ethanol, acetone, and n-hexane. For example, the cleaning solution is an aqueous acetone solution diluted with deionized water at a volume ratio of 1:4. Since deionized water does not contain ionic impurities, it avoids causing open or short circuits in the LED light source during the cleaning process. When the ambient temperature exceeds the preset temperature threshold, the adding device adds cleaning solution to the sprayer containing the cleaning solution. A liquid transfer channel exists between the adding device and the sprayer. The adding device is equipped with a transfer switch, which is initially closed. The sprayer is equipped with a backflow prevention switch, which is initially open to prevent liquid backflow. When the ambient temperature exceeds the preset temperature threshold, the adding device opens the transfer switch and closes the backflow prevention switch of the sprayer, adding cleaning solution to the sprayer, thus achieving automatic addition of cleaning solution. When the cleaning fluid reaches the preset maximum capacity, the control device shuts off the transmission switch and opens the backflow prevention switch of the sprayer to prevent backflow of the cleaning fluid. The preset maximum capacity is the capacity that the sprayer can handle. A weight sensor detects the weight of the sprayer to determine whether the cleaning fluid has reached the preset maximum capacity, and then automatically controls the on / off switch to automatically add cleaning fluid. The sprayer is positioned above the cleaning frame, which helps to form a shower head structure, spraying the cleaning fluid onto the LED light source for cleaning and dissolution.

[0064] In step S300, the sprayer is controlled to spray cleaning fluid to clean the LED light source, and the preset cleaning time is extended to obtain the first cleaned LED light source.

[0065] In one embodiment, at higher temperatures, the cleaning solution in the cleaning frame evaporates. According to step S200, cleaning solution is added to the sprayer to ensure sufficient cleaning. The sprayer is controlled to spray the cleaning solution, ensuring the surface of the LED light source is covered with cleaning solution, which dissolves residues and achieves the cleaning purpose. Since the cleaning solution is sprayed through a sprayer, compared to directly immersing the LED light source in the cleaning solution, the initial cleaning effect may be poor due to insufficient cleaning solution. Therefore, a preset cleaning time is extended, and the cleaning solution is continuously sprayed through the sprayer. Over a longer period, the cleaning solution increases, immersing the LED light source and achieving thorough cleaning. Furthermore, due to the higher temperature, extending the cleaning time continuously increases the amount of cleaning solution in the cleaning frame, preventing incomplete cleaning caused by evaporation. The cleaning time can be 10-30 minutes, but since the cleaning solution is relatively small at the beginning of spraying, 15-20 minutes is preferred. Specifically, it can be 15 minutes, 16 minutes, 18 minutes, 19 minutes, or 20 minutes, but is not limited to these values ​​and will not be elaborated here.

[0066] In another embodiment, the flow rate of the cleaning fluid sprayed by the sprayer can also be controlled. When a high temperature is detected, the spraying rate of the sprayer is increased to prevent the cleaning fluid from evaporating too quickly, resulting in insufficient cleaning. Under normal temperature conditions, the flow rate of the cleaning fluid is 3.5 m / s. When the temperature is high, the flow rate of the cleaning fluid can be adjusted to 5 m / s, which can be adjusted according to the ambient temperature. This will not be elaborated further here.

[0067] Step S400: Dry the first cleaned LED light source to obtain the first dried LED light source.

[0068] In one embodiment, within a preset drying time, the drying device is controlled to activate high-pressure air to dry the first-cleaned LED light source, removing cleaning fluid and residual substances to obtain a first-dried LED light source. The high-pressure air is 100-300 kPa in pressure and 35-50°C in temperature. Using this high-pressure air to dry the LED light source effectively removes residual substances and cleaning fluid. High-pressure air drying of the LED light source effectively removes cleaning fluid and residues adhering to it, ensuring cleaning quality.

[0069] In one embodiment, the environmental conditions also include ambient humidity. Before the drying device starts high-pressure air to dry the first cleaned LED light source and obtain the first dried LED light source, the LED light source cleaning method further includes, but is not limited to:

[0070] In one embodiment, a humidity sensor detects the current ambient humidity. If the ambient humidity is less than a preset first humidity threshold, it indicates low humidity and low moisture content, allowing for rapid drying and thus shortening the drying time and saving resources. If the ambient humidity is greater than or equal to a preset second humidity threshold, it indicates high humidity and high moisture content, making drying difficult. Therefore, the drying time is increased to remove as much cleaning fluid and residue as possible from the LED light source, ensuring cleaning quality. The second humidity threshold is greater than the first humidity threshold. When the ambient humidity is between the first and second humidity thresholds, drying is performed according to the preset drying time, which can remove as much cleaning fluid and residue as possible from the LED light source, ensuring cleaning quality. The first humidity threshold can be 40%, and the second humidity threshold can be 60%.

[0071] In step S500, the first dried LED light source is tested to obtain the test result. If the test result is less than the preset threshold, the adding device is controlled to add clean water to the sprayer, wherein the cleaning fluid in the sprayer has been replaced by clean water.

[0072] In one embodiment, the first dried LED light source is tested by energizing it and collecting the light data generated. This light data is then compared with recorded data from when the light source was clean to obtain a test result. This test result helps determine whether the light source is properly cleaned after being cleaned with the cleaning solution. If the test result is less than a preset threshold, it indicates that residue remains on the LED light source surface. When residue is detected, the cleaning solution is released through the outlet on the base plate, and clean water is added to the sprayer. The adding device is then controlled to add clean water to the sprayer to rinse away the cleaning solution. The outlet switch is then closed to allow for further cleaning with clean water. At higher temperatures, water evaporates more easily. The adding device is controlled to open the transmission switch, and the sprayer's backflow barrier switch is closed. Clean water is added to the sprayer, and the water volume is controlled via a switch to ensure thorough cleaning.

[0073] In step S600, the sprayer sprays clean water to clean the LED light source and extends the cleaning time to obtain a second cleaned LED light source. The second cleaned LED light source is then dried to obtain a second dried LED light source.

[0074] In one embodiment, clean water is injected into a sprayer, and the sprayer is turned on to clean the LED light source with the sprayed water. Considering that the cleaning may be insufficient due to water evaporation, the cleaning time is extended to obtain a second cleaned LED light source, ensuring that the LED light source is thoroughly cleaned. The extended cleaning time is similar to step S300 and can be adjusted as needed, so it will not be described in detail here. The second cleaned LED light source is then dried to obtain a second dried LED light source for subsequent use.

[0075] In another embodiment, if the detection result is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, it indicates that the surface of the LED light source has been cleaned and is ready for use.

[0076] In one embodiment, the second-cleaned LED light source is dried to obtain a second-dried LED light source. Specifically, within a preset drying time, a drying device is activated to use high-pressure air to dry the second-cleaned LED light source, removing water and residual substances to obtain the second-dried LED light source. The high-pressure air is 100-300 kPa in pressure and 35-50°C in temperature. Using high-pressure air at these temperatures to dry the LED light source removes residual substances and water. High-pressure air drying effectively removes water and residue adhering to the LED light source, ensuring cleaning quality.

[0077] In another embodiment, if the detection result is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the first dried LED light source can be immersed in deionized water; if the detection result is less than the preset threshold, the second dried LED light source can also be immersed in deionized water. To avoid residual cleaning solution or water on the LED light source, which could cause short circuits on the PCB board and affect heat dissipation, deionized water is used to re-soak and clean the LED light source to remove residual substances. Since deionized water does not contain ionic impurities, it will not adhere mineral or metal ions to the LED light source, thus preventing open circuits or short circuits during immersion. Specifically, the immersion time of the LED light source in deionized water is 5-10 minutes, and the immersion temperature is 30-50°C.

[0078] In another embodiment, the LED light source obtained after soaking in deionized water is dried by blowing it dry, and then further dried by baking. The deionized water needs to be blown dry after soaking to avoid water residue on the LED light source and improve its reliability. After blowing dry, the LED light source is placed in an oven for baking. This baking step effectively removes any residual deionized water from the LED light source, preventing it from being carried into the LED lamp and ensuring its lifespan. Specifically, the drying temperature of the LED light source in the oven is 50-120℃, and the drying time is 10-30 minutes.

[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, this application embodiment provides an LED light source cleaning device 100. The device 100 first uses a detection module 110 to acquire environmental conditions, including ambient temperature, when an LED light source is detected in a preset cleaning frame. Acquiring the ambient temperature helps determine whether to add cleaning fluid for thorough cleaning. Then, using an addition determination module 120, if the ambient temperature is higher than a preset temperature threshold, it controls the addition device to add cleaning fluid to a sprayer containing cleaning fluid. The sprayer is positioned above the cleaning frame to prevent the cleaning fluid from evaporating due to excessively high temperatures, which could lead to insufficient cleaning. Next, a cleaning module 130 controls the sprayer to spray cleaning fluid onto the LED light source, extending the preset cleaning time to obtain a first-cleaned LED light source. At higher temperatures, evaporation reduces the amount of cleaning fluid; extending the cleaning time allows for more thorough contact between the LED light source and the cleaning fluid, resulting in more complete cleaning. Finally, it utilizes... The air-drying module 140 dries the first cleaned LED light source to obtain a first dried LED light source. This drying process makes the first cleaned LED light source usable and improves its reliability. The addition module 120 detects the first dried LED light source and obtains the detection result. The detection reflects whether the cleaning solution has cleaned the LED light source properly. If the detection result is less than a preset threshold, the addition device adds clean water to the sprayer, replacing the cleaning solution in the sprayer, thus achieving a second cleaning. The cleaning module 130 controls the sprayer to spray clean water to clean the LED light source and extends the cleaning time to obtain a second cleaned LED light source. The air-drying module 140 then dries the second cleaned LED light source to obtain a second dried LED light source. Through two cleaning processes, the light source is ensured to be cleaned even under high temperature and volatile conditions.

[0080] It should be noted that the detection module 110 is connected to the addition judgment module 120, the addition judgment module 120 is connected to the cleaning module 130, and the cleaning module 130 is connected to the drying module 140. The above-described LED light source cleaning method is applied to the LED light source cleaning device 100. The LED light source cleaning device 100 first determines whether to add cleaning fluid by judging the temperature. After adding cleaning fluid, the cleaning time is extended to ensure that the cleaning fluid and LED light source are in full contact, resulting in thorough cleaning. After detection, surface residues are then rinsed off with clean water. Through two cleaning processes, the light source is ensured to be cleaned thoroughly even under high-temperature and volatile conditions.

[0081] In one embodiment, the cleaning module 130 is further configured to control the drying device to activate high-pressure air to dry the first cleaned LED light source within a preset drying time. The high-pressure air is of 100-300 kPa pressure and 35-50°C temperature. Using this high-pressure air to dry the LED light source removes residual residue and cleaning fluid. High-pressure air drying of the LED light source effectively removes cleaning fluid and residue adhering to it, ensuring cleaning quality. The cleaning module 130 is also configured to control the drying device to activate high-pressure air to dry the second cleaned LED light source within a preset drying time; this will not be described in detail here.

[0082] In one embodiment, the cleaning module 130 is further configured to detect the current ambient humidity using a humidity sensor, and obtain the detected ambient humidity. If the ambient humidity is less than a preset first humidity threshold, it indicates low humidity and low moisture content, allowing for rapid drying and thus shortening the drying time and saving resources. If the ambient humidity is greater than or equal to a preset second humidity threshold, it indicates high humidity and high moisture content, making drying difficult. Therefore, the drying time is increased to remove as much cleaning fluid and residue as possible from the LED light source, ensuring cleaning quality. The second humidity threshold is greater than the first humidity threshold. When the ambient humidity is between the first and second humidity thresholds, drying is performed according to the preset drying time, which can remove as much cleaning fluid and residue as possible from the LED light source, ensuring cleaning quality. The first humidity threshold can be 40%, and the second humidity threshold can be 60%.

[0083] In one embodiment, the drying module 140 is further used to immerse the first dried LED light source in deionized water. To prevent cleaning solution residue from remaining on the LED light source, which could cause short circuits on the PCB board and affect heat dissipation, deionized water is used for a second immersion cleaning of the LED light source to remove residual cleaning solution. Since deionized water does not contain ionic impurities, it will not adhere mineral or metal ions to the LED light source, thus preventing open circuits or short circuits during immersion. Specifically, the immersion time of the LED light source in deionized water is 5-10 minutes, and the immersion temperature is 30-50°C. The LED light source obtained after immersion in deionized water is then blown dry and then dried. The deionized water needs to be blown dry after immersion to avoid water stains on the LED light source and improve its reliability. After blowing dry, the LED light source is placed in an oven for further drying. This drying step effectively removes residual deionized water from the LED light source, preventing the LED light source from carrying deionized water into the LED lamp and ensuring the lifespan of the LED lamp. Specifically, the drying temperature of the LED light source in the oven is 50-120℃, and the drying time is 10-30 minutes. The air drying module 140 is also used to immerse the second-dried LED light source in deionized water. To avoid water residue on the LED light source causing short circuits on the PCB board and affecting heat dissipation, the LED light source is immersed and cleaned again with deionized water to remove any residual water. This will not be elaborated on here.
