An automatic cleaning method for a piezoelectric ceramic ring of an underwater acoustic transducer, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: The ceramic ring (25) to be cleaned is initially inspected to manually remove large impurities and loose attachments; Manually placing the ceramic ring (25) to be cleaned into a ceramic ring mounting fixture (19) and mounting it on a third slide block (18); The control module parameters are set based on the model of the ceramic ring (25); based on the control module, the first movable submodule is driven to move the first slider (6) in the horizontal direction by the first step length, and then the third movable submodule is driven to move the third slider (18) along the support rod (14) by the second step length; the first movable submodule is driven to return the first slider (6) to the starting position, and the third movable submodule is driven to return the third slider (18) to the starting position, thereby completing the cleaning of the ceramic ring (25) sleeved on the outer ring of the ceramic ring mounting fixture (19); and the first step length and the second step length are gradually reduced to complete the cleaning of the ceramic ring (25) sleeved on the inner ring of the ceramic ring mounting fixture (19); After one side is cleaned, the jig surface A (20) and the jig surface B (21) are buckled and turned over to clean the other side of the ceramic ring (25) again; After cleaning is completed, the ceramic ring installation jig (19) is manually removed, the cleaned ceramic ring (25) is taken out, placed in a drying device for rapid drying, and collected at a designated location.
