Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultrasonic cleaning technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic cleaning basket. Background Technology

[0002] After machining workpieces such as gears, ultrasonic cleaners are typically used to remove grease and other contaminants from their surfaces. In related technologies, a support fixture is used to hold the workpieces to be cleaned, allowing them to be placed into the water tank of the ultrasonic cleaner. However, when multiple workpieces are placed in the support fixture simultaneously, collisions and wear can easily occur between them. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide an ultrasonic cleaning basket designed to reduce damage to workpieces during the cleaning or movement process within the ultrasonic cleaning basket.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an ultrasonic cleaning basket comprising:

[0005] The main frame has a hollowed-out storage space on all four sides;

[0006] Two first partitions are disposed in the receiving space and are arranged opposite each other along a first direction. Each first partition has a plurality of first slots arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and one end of each first slot extends to the edge of the first partition.

[0007] A plurality of second partitions are arranged side by side along the second direction in the receiving space. Each second partition has two second slots arranged along the first direction. One end of each second slot extends to the edge of the second partition. The first partition and the second partition are interlocked through the first slot and the second slot. Two adjacent second partitions and two first partitions enclose each other to form a receiving groove.

[0008] Both the first partition and the second partition have several hollow structures.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first partition has a first region and multiple rows of second regions and multiple rows of third regions arranged alternately in the vertical direction above the first region. The first region has a plurality of first slots and multiple first through holes are provided between two adjacent first slots.

[0010] Each row of the second region is provided with a plurality of second through holes arranged side by side along the second direction, and each row of the third region is provided with at least one first strip hole extending along the second direction.

[0011] In one embodiment, at least two columns of first through holes arranged along the second direction are provided between two adjacent first slots;

[0012] And / or, the size of the first through hole is smaller than that of the second through hole.

[0013] In one embodiment, the second partition has multiple rows of fourth regions and multiple rows of fifth regions arranged alternately in a vertical direction. The fourth regions have multiple third through holes arranged side by side in the first direction, and the fifth regions have at least one second strip-shaped hole extending in the first direction.

[0014] And / or, both the first partition and the second partition are made of insulating material;

[0015] And / or, the opening of the first slot is disposed facing the bottom of the receiving space, and the opening of the second slot is disposed facing the top opening of the receiving space.

[0016] In one embodiment, the main frame includes:

[0017] Two side frames, which are located on opposite sides of the main frame;

[0018] A plurality of side connecting rods are distributed on the other two opposite sides of the main frame, and the two ends of each side connecting rod are detachably connected to two side frames respectively. Both the side frames and the side connecting rods are covered with a protective layer.

[0019] A base plate, located between the two side frames, forms the bottom wall of the accommodating space.

[0020] In one embodiment, the main frame further includes a support structure disposed at the top, the support structure being used to support and limit another ultrasonic cleaning basket.

[0021] In one embodiment, the load-bearing structure includes four limiting legs located at the four corners of the main frame, and each limiting leg includes a load-bearing portion and a limiting perimeter bent along the outer edge of the load-bearing portion.

[0022] In one embodiment, the ultrasonic cleaning basket further includes a plurality of clamping assemblies, the clamping assemblies being detachably connected to the main frame, and the clamping assemblies including two clamping structures located in the receiving groove and arranged opposite to each other along the first direction.

[0023] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly further includes:

[0024] Two fixed structures are arranged along the first direction and are detachably connected to the main frame. Each fixed structure is provided with a sliding groove extending along the first direction.

[0025] Two sliding structures, each corresponding to one of the two fixed structures, and each slidably disposed in the corresponding sliding groove; two clamping structures, each corresponding to one of the two sliding structures, and one end of each clamping structure being hinged to the corresponding sliding structure.

[0026] A support structure, wherein the support structure is disposed in the receiving groove, and both ends of the support structure are respectively hinged to the ends of the two clamping structures away from the sliding structure; and

[0027] Two first elastic elements are respectively disposed in the two sliding grooves and located on the side of the sliding structure facing the other fixed structure, and sandwiched between the sliding structure and the groove wall of the sliding groove.

[0028] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly further includes a second elastic member located on the side of the sliding structure opposite to the other fixed structure and abutting against the sliding assembly;

[0029] And / or, the fixing structure is provided with a slot, and the fixing structure is engaged with the main frame through the slot;

[0030] And / or, the clamping structure is provided with a plurality of fourth through holes;

[0031] And / or, the support structure is provided with a plurality of fifth through holes.

[0032] The technical solution of this invention involves setting a first partition and a second partition within the accommodating space enclosed by the main frame. These partitions divide the accommodating space into multiple accommodating slots arranged side-by-side along a second direction. Each slot can hold a workpiece to be cleaned. Workpieces placed between adjacent slots are separated from each other by the second partition, and each workpiece is also separated from the main frame by either the first or second partition. This avoids collisions and wear between adjacent workpieces and between the workpiece and the main frame, reducing the risk of damage to both the workpiece and the main frame. The perforated structure design allows the cleaning fluid and ultrasonic energy to penetrate better into all parts of the workpiece, achieving a more uniform and thorough cleaning effect.

[0033] The first and second partitions are interlocked, facilitating assembly and disassembly for cleaning, maintenance, or replacement. Disassembly also prevents dirt from remaining in the first or second slots during cleaning. Furthermore, the second partition can be inserted into different first slots, allowing the size of the receiving groove to be adjusted according to the size and shape of the workpiece. This adapts to different workpieces, ensuring the workpiece is stably contained within the receiving groove and preventing it from wobbling and colliding with or wearing down the first and second partitions.

[0045] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0046] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0048] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the use of "and / or" or "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0049] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes an ultrasonic cleaning basket 100, which can reduce damage to workpieces during the cleaning or movement process within the ultrasonic cleaning basket 100.

[0050] See also Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the ultrasonic cleaning basket 100 includes a main frame 1, two first partitions 2, and several second partitions 3. The main frame 1 has a accommodating space 16 with open sides. The two first partitions 2 are disposed in the accommodating space 16 and are arranged opposite each other along a first direction. The first partitions 2 have several first slots 24 arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and one end of the first slot 24 extends to the edge of the first partition 2. Several second partitions 3 are arranged side by side along the second direction in the accommodating space 16. The second partitions 3 have two second slots 33 arranged along the first direction, and one end of the second slot 33 extends to the edge of the second partition 3. The first partitions 2 and the second partitions 3 are interlocked and engaged with each other through the first slots 24 and the second slots 33. Two adjacent second partitions 3 and two first partitions 2 enclose each other to form an accommodating groove 161. Both the first partitions 2 and the second partitions 3 have several open structures.

[0051] In this embodiment, the main frame 1 serves as the foundation structure of the ultrasonic cleaning basket 100. It is typically made of metal (such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy), plastic, or other robust and durable materials to support the weight and structural stability of the entire basket, and possesses good corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and sufficient mechanical strength. The main frame 1 is designed with a perforated structure on all four sides, increasing the contact area between the cleaning fluid and the workpiece. This allows ultrasonic energy to be transmitted from all sides of the main frame 1 to the receiving space 16, and also allows the cleaning fluid to flow in and out of the receiving space 16 from all sides of the main frame 1, improving cleaning efficiency and reducing overall weight.

[0052] The main frame 1 can be rectangular, square, or other shapes. It can be formed by a plate-like structure with mesh or grid patterns, or it can be a frame structure formed by multiple connecting rods. The various parts of the frame are fixed together by welding, riveting, screws, or other mechanical connections to ensure the structural strength.

[0053] The first partition 2 is disposed within the receiving space 16. Two first partitions 2 are disposed opposite each other along a first direction, which is the normal direction of the first partition 2. A plurality of first slots 24 on the first partition 2 are arranged along a second direction, which is the length direction of the first partition 2. The first slots 24 can extend along a vertical direction perpendicular to the second direction and the first direction, or they can extend at an angle relative to the vertical direction. One end of the first slot 24 extends through to the edge of the first partition 2 to form a slot, so as to allow the second partition 3 to be inserted, thereby realizing the connection, fixation and support between the first partition 2 and the second partition 3.

[0054] Multiple second partitions 3 are arranged side-by-side along a second direction within the receiving space 16. Two second slots 33 on each second partition 3 are arranged along a first direction, with one end of each slot extending to the edge of the second partition 3 to allow the insertion of a first partition 2. This allows the first partition 2 and the second partition 3 to interlock, facilitating assembly and disassembly for cleaning, maintenance, or replacement. Disassembly also prevents dirt from remaining in the first slot 24 or second slot 33 during cleaning. Adjacent second partitions 3 and two first partitions 2 enclose a receiving groove 161 to limit the workpiece to be cleaned, preventing it from moving within the receiving space 16 and avoiding collisions and friction between adjacent workpieces. The insertion position of the second partitions 3 can be adjusted to flexibly adjust the size and shape of the receiving groove 161 to accommodate workpieces of different sizes. For example, two adjacent second partitions 3 can be inserted into two adjacent first slots 24, or at least one first slot 24 can be provided between two adjacent second partitions 3; in some embodiments, the distance between the two sides of the two second partitions 3 can be different, for example, one side of the two second partitions 3 can be inserted into two adjacent first slots 24 of the first partition 2, and the other side of the two second partitions 3 can be inserted into two non-adjacent first slots 24 of another first partition 2.

[0055] The perforated structure on the first partition 2 and the second partition 3 also allows for the free flow of cleaning fluid and airflow, as well as the transmission of ultrasonic energy, thereby improving the fluidity of the cleaning fluid and the cleaning effect. The perforated parts can be of various shapes, such as circles, ovals, rectangles, and other regular or irregular shapes, and are not limited here.

[0056] The technical solution of this invention involves setting a first partition 2 and a second partition 3 within the accommodating space 16 enclosed by the main frame 1. These partitions divide the accommodating space 16 into multiple accommodating slots 161 arranged side-by-side along a second direction. Each slot 161 can be used to place a workpiece to be cleaned. Workpieces placed between adjacent slots 161 are separated from each other by the second partition 3, and each workpiece is also separated from the main frame 1 by either the first partition 2 or the second partition 3. This avoids collisions and wear between adjacent workpieces and between the workpiece and the main frame 1, reducing the risk of damage to both the workpiece and the main frame 1. The hollow structure design allows the cleaning fluid and ultrasonic energy to penetrate better into all parts of the workpiece, achieving a more uniform and thorough cleaning effect.

[0057] The first partition 2 and the second partition 3 are interlocked, facilitating assembly and disassembly for cleaning, maintenance, or replacement. Disassembly and cleaning also prevents dirt from remaining in the first slot 24 or the second slot 33. Furthermore, the second partition 3 can be inserted into different first slots 24, allowing the size of the receiving groove 161 to be adjusted according to the size and shape of the workpiece. This adapts to different workpieces, ensuring the workpiece is stably contained within the receiving groove 161 and preventing it from wobbling and colliding or abrading with the first partition 2 and the second partition 3.

[0058] In one embodiment, the opening of the first slot 24 is disposed facing the bottom of the receiving space 16, and the opening of the second slot 33 is disposed facing the top opening of the receiving space 16.

[0059] In this embodiment, by having the opening of the first slot 24 facing the bottom of the receiving space 16 and the opening of the second slot 33 facing the top of the receiving space 16, when it is necessary to separate the first partition 2 and the second partition 3, only the first partition 2 needs to be pulled out to separate the multiple second partitions 3 from each other, which is convenient for disassembly.

[0060] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the first partition 2 is provided with a first region 21 and multiple rows of second regions 22 and multiple rows of third regions 23 arranged alternately above the first region 21 in the vertical direction. The first region 21 is provided with a plurality of first slots 24, and multiple first through holes 25 are provided between two adjacent first slots 24. Each row of second regions 22 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 26 arranged side by side in the second direction, and each row of third regions 23 is provided with at least one first strip hole 27 extending in the second direction.

[0061] In this embodiment, a first region 21, multiple second regions 22, and multiple third regions 23 are formed on the first partition 2. The first region 21 is provided with a number of first slots 24 and multiple first through holes 25. The multiple second regions 22 and multiple third regions 23 are alternately arranged above the first region 21. Multiple second through holes 26 are arranged along a second direction in the second region 22, and second strip holes 35 are provided in the third region 23 extending along the second direction. The first through holes 25, second through holes 26, and first strip holes 27 are all hollow structures. This arrangement gives the first partition 2 a large hollow area, enhancing the flow and distribution of the cleaning fluid between the first partitions 2, allowing the cleaning fluid to flow better and the ultrasonic energy to be better transmitted to each workpiece, thus improving cleaning efficiency. The arrangement of the first strip holes 27 also has a good weight reduction effect.

[0062] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, at least two rows of first through holes 25 arranged along the second direction are provided between two adjacent first slots 24. This arrangement gives the first region 21 a large hollow area, which can provide sufficient liquid flow channels and ultrasonic wave transmission paths for the receiving tank 161, thus optimizing the cleaning effect.

[0063] Please see Figure 3 The size of the first through hole 25 is smaller than that of the second through hole 26. Since the first region 21 has several first slots 24, the size of the second through hole 26 is set to be smaller in this embodiment. The smaller size of the first through hole 25 allows the first region 21 to have a larger hollow area while maintaining good structural strength, thereby providing sufficient liquid flow channels and ultrasonic wave transmission paths, optimizing the cleaning effect. Furthermore, the smaller first through hole 25 helps to generate a finer liquid flow, thus more effectively removing minute dirt from the workpiece.

[0064] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the second partition 3 is provided with multiple rows of fourth regions 31 and multiple rows of fifth regions 32 arranged alternately in the vertical direction. The fourth regions 31 are provided with multiple third through holes 34 arranged side by side in the first direction, and the fifth regions 32 are provided with at least one second strip hole 35 extending in the first direction.

[0065] In this embodiment, the second strip-shaped hole 35 in the fifth region 32 can significantly increase the area of ​​the hollow structure on the second partition 3, enhancing the flow and distribution of the cleaning fluid between the second partitions 3, and also achieving a good weight reduction effect. Furthermore, setting the fourth region 31 as multiple third through holes 34 as a hollow structure ensures good structural strength of the second partition 3 while providing a larger hollow area, thus providing sufficient liquid flow channels and ultrasonic transmission paths. Compared to the second strip-shaped hole 35, the second through hole 26 helps generate a finer liquid flow, thereby more effectively removing minute dirt from the workpiece and optimizing the cleaning effect.

[0066] In one embodiment, both the first partition 2 and the second partition 3 are made of insulating material.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first partition 2 and the second partition 3 are made of insulating materials with good high temperature resistance and wear resistance, which may be made of, but are not limited to, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyimide, ceramic, silicon carbide, plastic and other materials; thereby making the first partition 2 and the second partition 3 have high structural strength and making the overall weight of the ultrasonic cleaning basket 100 lighter.

[0068] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the main frame 1 includes two side frames 11, a plurality of side connecting rods 12, and a base plate 13. The two side frames 11 are located on opposite sides of the main frame 1. The plurality of side connecting rods 12 are distributed on the other two opposite sides of the main frame 1. The two ends of the side connecting rods 12 are detachably connected to the two side frames 11. The side frames 11 and the side connecting rods 12 are covered with a protective layer. The base plate 13 is located between the two side frames 11 and forms the bottom wall of the accommodating space 16.

[0069] In this embodiment, the main frame 1 is enclosed by two side frames 11, several side connecting rods 12, and a base plate 13 to form an accommodating space 16. The side frames 11 serve as the vertical support parts of the main frame 1 and include two vertically arranged vertical rods 111. Adjacent vertical rods 111 are connected by at least two horizontal rods 112. Optionally, the two vertical rods 111 and the two horizontal rods 112 are connected end to end. In some embodiments, at least one horizontal rod 112 can be provided to connect to the middle of the two vertical rods 111 respectively, thereby improving the structural strength and stability of the side frames 11. The side connecting rods 12 are used to connect the two side frames 11. The two vertical rods 111 on the same side of the two side frames 11 are connected by at least two side connecting rods 12. The base plate 13 is the bottom structure of the main frame 1, forming the bottom wall of the accommodating space 16 and providing a supporting surface for items placed in the frame. Optionally, the base plate 13 can be connected to the side frames 11, or, in the following embodiment, the base plate 13 can be placed above the bottom connecting rod 14.

[0070] In this embodiment, the outer surfaces of each component forming the side frame 11 and the side connecting rod 12 are provided with a protective layer. The protective layer can be a silicone or other coated structure, which can prevent the workpiece from colliding and wearing with the main frame 1. Furthermore, the side frame 11 and the side connecting rod 12 are detachably connected, so that new components can be replaced when the coating of the side frame 11 or the side connecting rod 12 is damaged.

[0071] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the main frame 1 further includes a bottom connecting rod 14, the two ends of which are detachably connected to the two side frames 11 respectively, and the base plate 13 is supported above the bottom connecting rod 14. This arrangement eliminates the need to connect the base plate 13 to the side frames 11, making the base plate 13 easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0072] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the main frame 1 further includes a support structure 15 disposed at the top, the support structure 15 being used to support and limit another ultrasonic cleaning basket 100.

[0073] In this embodiment, another ultrasonic cleaning basket 100 can be stacked on top of the first ultrasonic cleaning basket 100 to avoid occupying too much horizontal space when multiple ultrasonic cleaning baskets 100 are set. The supporting structure 15 can be configured as a combination of four limiting legs 151 distributed at the four corners of the main frame 1, as in the following embodiment; alternatively, the supporting structure 15 can be configured as an integral annular structure, including an annular supporting plate arranged circumferentially around the main frame 1 and an annular perimeter surrounding the annular supporting plate. Alternatively, the annular perimeter can be replaced with multiple blocking edges located at intervals along the edge of the annular supporting plate. Furthermore, the supporting structure 15 can also be configured as a limiting post, with a limiting hole correspondingly provided at the bottom of the other ultrasonic cleaning basket 100. When two ultrasonic cleaning baskets 100 are stacked, the limiting post is inserted into the limiting hole, thereby limiting the ultrasonic cleaning basket 100 located on top.

[0074] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the supporting structure 15 includes four limiting legs 151 located at the four corners of the main frame 1. Each limiting leg 151 includes a supporting part 1511 and a limiting perimeter 1512 bent along the outer edge of the supporting part 1511.

[0075] In this embodiment, four limiting legs 151 are provided on the top of the main frame 1 as a bearing structure 15. The limiting legs 151 include a bearing part 1511 for supporting another ultrasonic cleaning basket 100, and a limiting edge 1512 connected to the bearing part 1511. When the two ultrasonic cleaning baskets 100 are stacked, the ultrasonic cleaning basket 100 located on the upper part is supported on the four supporting parts and is located inside the limiting edge 1512 of the limiting legs 151. Thus, the limiting edge 1512 can be used to limit the ultrasonic cleaning basket 100, preventing the ultrasonic cleaning basket 100 from being misaligned and easily falling.

[0076] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the ultrasonic cleaning basket 100 further includes a plurality of clamping components 4, which are detachably connected to the main frame 1. Each clamping component 4 includes two clamping structures 41 located in the receiving groove 161 and arranged opposite to each other along the first direction, and which can move closer to or further away from each other.

[0077] In this embodiment, a clamping assembly 4 can be provided in the receiving groove 161. The clamping assembly 4 is used to clamp the workpiece so that the workpiece to be cleaned can be stably placed in the receiving groove 161, avoiding the workpiece from shaking in the receiving groove 161 and causing wear to the first partition 2 or the second partition 3. Specifically, the clamping assembly 4 includes two clamping structures 41 arranged opposite to each other. The clamping structure 41 can be a claw, a plate, or other structure. The user can control the two clamping structures 41 to move closer or further apart, thereby clamping or releasing the workpiece. Alternatively, in the following embodiment, the workpiece's own weight can be used to bring the two clamping structures 41 closer together to achieve clamping of the workpiece, which is not limited here.

[0078] Specifically, the clamping assembly 4 is detachably connected to the main frame 1, allowing the clamping assembly 4 to be removed from the main frame 1 for cleaning and maintenance of both the clamping assembly 4 and the main frame 1, without affecting the assembly and disassembly of the first partition 2 and the second partition 3. The connection method between the clamping assembly 4 and the main frame 1 can be, but is not limited to, snap-fit, bolt connection, plug-in, and other connection methods.

[0079] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the clamping assembly 4 further includes two fixed structures 42, two sliding structures 43, a support structure 44, and two first elastic members 45. The two fixed structures 42 are arranged along the first direction and are detachably connected to the main frame 1. Each fixed structure 42 has a sliding groove 421 extending along the first direction. The two sliding structures 43 correspond one-to-one with the two fixed structures 42 and are slidably disposed in the corresponding sliding grooves 421. The two clamping structures 41 correspond one-to-one with the two sliding structures 43, and one end of the clamping structure 41 is hinged to the corresponding sliding structure 43. The support structure 44 is disposed in the receiving groove 161, and both ends of the support structure 44 are hinged to the ends of the two clamping structures 41 away from the sliding structures 43. The two first elastic members 45 are respectively disposed in the two sliding grooves 421 and are located on the side of the sliding structure 43 facing the other fixed structure 42, and are clamped between the sliding structure 43 and the groove wall of the sliding groove 421.

[0080] In this embodiment, in the normal state without a workpiece, the clamping structure 41 is inclined relative to the vertical direction, and the two clamping structures 41 gradually approach each other along the depth direction of the receiving groove 161. When the workpiece is placed in the receiving groove 161, the workpiece is supported on the support structure 44, which can be a plate-shaped or strip-shaped structure. The support structure 44 descends under the pressure of the workpiece, thereby pulling the clamping structure 41 to drive the sliding structure 43 to slide relative to the fixed structure 42, so that the two clamping structures 41 approach each other. During this process, the inclination angle of the clamping structure 41 relative to the vertical direction decreases, thus better clamping the workpiece. The first elastic element 45 provides elastic buffer force for the sliding structure 43, preventing the sliding structure 43 from colliding with the groove wall 421 due to sudden pressure from the workpiece. In addition, when the workpiece is removed, the sliding structure 43 can be reset under the rebound force of the first elastic element 45, thereby resetting the clamping structure 41 and the support structure 44. This arrangement eliminates the need for the user to manually control the opening and closing of the clamping assembly 4, improving ease of use.

[0081] Optionally, a guide rail can be provided on the groove wall of the slide groove 421 so that the sliding structure 43 is slidably connected to the guide rail; or a guide rod 47 can be provided in the slide groove 421 so that the sliding structure 43 can be slidably sleeved on the guide rod 47.

[0082] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the clamping assembly 4 further includes a second elastic member 46, which is located on the side of the sliding structure 43 opposite to the other fixed structure 42 and abuts against the sliding assembly.

[0083] In this embodiment, the two ends of the sliding structure 43 are respectively abutted by the first elastic member 45 and the second elastic member 46. The first elastic member 45 and the second elastic member 46 apply elastic forces to the sliding structure 43, thereby keeping the support structure 44, the sliding structure 43 and the clamping structure 41 in a relatively stable position when the support structure 44 is not holding a workpiece. When the first elastic member 45 drives the sliding structure 43, the clamping structure 41 and the support structure 44 to reset, it plays a buffering role on the sliding structure 43, preventing the sliding structure 43 from moving to collide with the other side of the groove wall of the slide groove 421 under the action of the elastic force of the first elastic member 45.

[0084] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7In one embodiment, the fixing structure 42 is provided with a slot 422, through which the fixing structure 42 engages with the main frame 1. This arrangement facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the clamping component 4 and the main frame 1, improving ease of assembly and disassembly. Optionally, a clearance groove 423 can be provided on the fixing structure 42 to avoid the first partition 2. When the clamping component 4 is connected to the main frame 1, the first partition 2 is inserted into the clearance groove 423, which can improve the fixing strength of the clamping component 4 and also limit the position of the first partition 2, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the ultrasonic cleaning basket 100.

[0085] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the clamping structure 41 is provided with a plurality of fourth through holes 411. The fourth through holes 411 can increase the contact area between the cleaning fluid and the workpiece, allowing the cleaning fluid and ultrasonic energy to pass through the fourth through holes 411 and act on the workpiece, thus avoiding the impact of the clamping component 4 on the cleaning effect. In addition, for workpieces such as gears, the fourth through holes 411 can also serve as limiting holes, so that when clamping gears, some gear teeth are inserted into some of the fourth through holes 411, improving the positional stability of the workpiece and preventing workpiece collision and wear.

[0086] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the support structure 44 is provided with a plurality of fifth through holes 441. The fifth through holes 441 increase the contact area between the cleaning fluid and the workpiece, allowing the cleaning fluid and ultrasonic energy to pass through the fifth through holes 441 and act on the workpiece, thus ensuring better cleaning of the bottom of the workpiece. Similarly, for workpieces such as gears, the fifth through holes 441 can also serve as limiting holes, allowing some gear teeth to be inserted into some of the fifth through holes 441 when clamping the gear, improving the positional stability of the workpiece and preventing collisions and wear.

[0087] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
