[0007] Preferably, the dehydration device comprises a vacuum hood, which is connected to the frame and can move close to or away from the conveyor chain in the horizontal direction. The vacuum hood is set as an opening on the side facing the conveyor chain. When the supporting plate supporting the parts moves to the station where the drying device is located, the vacuum hood can move close to the conveyor chain to accommodate the supporting plate and the parts. The vacuum hood is connected to a vacuum pump. When the baffle moves to the station where the dehydration device is located, the plane of the baffle is perpendicular to the moving direction of the vacuum hood. The vacuum hood can move close to the conveying chain to accommodate the support plate and the parts and abut against the baffle. When the baffle abuts against the vacuum hood, it covers the opening of the vacuum hood and forms a sealed chamber in the vacuum hood. The vacuum pump is used to evacuate the sealed chamber.

When the parts are transported to the dehydration station, the vacuum hood moves to accommodate the parts and the support plate, and the vacuum hood and the baffle cooperate to form a seal inside the vacuum hood. The vacuum pump is used to evacuate the vacuum hood to vacuum dehydrate the parts, which has a better dehydration effect. When the dehydration operation is not performed, the vacuum hood can be moved away from the conveyor chain to not affect the normal conveying cycle of the support plate and the parts. The dehydration process equipment is simple, efficient, and has a good dehydration effect.

[0015] 3. This application sets up a loading and unloading station and sets it outside the shell. Parts can be input or output from the shell through the inlet and outlet on the shell. Only personnel need to perform loading and unloading operations at the loading and unloading station. The parts are automatically transported to the shell for cleaning and automatically output from the shell after cleaning. The loading and unloading station is outside the shell, and the cleaning process is carried out inside the shell, which can avoid the cleaning fluid and other pollutants in the cleaning process from polluting the external environment and affecting the operator.
