[0045] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a watch component cleaning device 100 for cleaning watch components. The watch component cleaning device 100 includes a frame 110, a transmission assembly 120, a first cleaning assembly 130, and a second cleaning assembly 140.

[0048] Specifically, in combination Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the transmission assembly 120 is mounted on the frame 110, and the transmission assembly 120 is provided with a plurality of mounting seats 121. A first cleaning assembly 130 is mounted on the frame 110. The first cleaning assembly 130 includes a liquid reservoir 131, an atomizing element 132, a first seal 133, and a second seal 134. The atomizing element 132 is connected to the liquid reservoir 131. When any of the mounting seats 121 moves to the position of the first cleaning assembly 130, the first seal 133 and the second seal 134 move toward the mounting seat 121 respectively, so that the opposite sides of the mounting seat 121 are respectively connected to the first seal 133 and the second seal 134, and the three together define a first negative pressure chamber 135. The atomizing element 132 is disposed within the first negative pressure chamber 135. The frame 110 is used to mount the transmission assembly 120, the first cleaning assembly 130, and the second cleaning assembly 140. Several mounting bases 121 of the 120 are respectively used to place watch parts to be cleaned. The liquid storage component 131 of the first cleaning component 130 is used to store the erosion liquid. The atomizing component 132 is used to spray the erosion liquid from the liquid storage component 131 onto the organic dirt on the surface of the watch parts to be cleaned in the first negative pressure chamber 135 to facilitate subsequent cleaning processes. Multiple watch parts to be cleaned are eroded by the organic dirt through the first cleaning component 130, reducing the bonding force between the organic dirt and the watch parts to be cleaned. It has a high degree of automation and improves the cleaning efficiency of the entire device.

[0049] In the embodiments of this application, the second cleaning component 140 is mounted on the frame 110, and the second cleaning component 140 is arranged side by side with the first cleaning component 130. The second cleaning component 140 includes a first air inlet 141. The mounting base 121 is movable to the second cleaning component 140. The second cleaning component 140 and the mounting base 121 together define a second negative pressure chamber 142. The second negative pressure chamber 142 is connected to the first air inlet 141. Accordingly, the watch component placed on the mounting base 121 can be moved to the position of the first cleaning component 130 or the second cleaning component 140 through the transmission component 120. The drying airflow is introduced into the second negative pressure chamber 142 through the first air inlet 141 of the second cleaning component 140. Since the second negative pressure chamber 142 is already in a negative pressure state, the drying airflow will generate a strong turbulence effect when it enters, producing a "burst" phenomenon, thereby forming an instantaneous high-energy shock wave, which will apply mechanical force to the surface of the watch component and wash away the organic dirt whose adhesion has been weakened. As an example, the first air inlet 141 is a vent valve, which can introduce dry compressed air into the second negative pressure chamber 142 to clean and dry the watch parts placed on the mounting base 121. There can be multiple vent valves, and multiple vent valves can introduce different types of compressed air.

[0050] It is understandable that the interior of the first negative pressure chamber 135 and the second negative pressure chamber 142 can generate a negative pressure space, extract the gas in the negative pressure space, reduce the pressure inside the chamber to be lower than the external atmospheric pressure, so as to create and maintain the required negative pressure state. For example, the negative pressure pumping device can be a vacuum pump or a vacuum generator.

[0051] It should be noted that the reference Figure 1 and Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the watch component cleaning device 100 has a first direction X and a second direction Y, wherein the first direction X and the second direction Y are arranged perpendicularly. For example, the first direction X refers to the height direction of the watch component cleaning device 100, and the second direction Y refers to the length direction of the watch component cleaning device 100. It is understood that the above definitions are only for ease of understanding the relative positional relationships of the various parts in the watch component cleaning device 100 and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0052] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, optionally, the first cleaning assembly 130 further includes a first driving member 136 and a second driving member 137. The first driving member 136 is movably connected to the first sealing member 133, and the first driving member 136 drives the first sealing member 133 to move relative to each other along the first direction X. The second driving member 137 is movably connected to the second sealing member 134, and the second driving member 137 drives the second sealing member 134 to move relative to each other along the first direction X. Correspondingly, the first driving member 136 drives the first sealing member 133 to move relative to each other along the height direction of the watch component cleaning device 100, and the second driving member 137 drives the second sealing member 134 to move relative to each other along the height direction of the watch component cleaning device 100, so that the first sealing member 133 and the second sealing member 134 move toward the mounting base 121 respectively to close the mounting base 121, or the first sealing member 133 and the second sealing member 134 separate from the mounting base 121 respectively. As an example, the first drive member 136 or the second drive member 137 can be a drive cylinder; of course, the first drive member 136 or the second drive member 137 can also be other drive components.

[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the liquid storage component 131 is located outside the first negative pressure chamber 135. The liquid storage component 131 is connected to the first negative pressure chamber 135 through the atomizing component 132. The atomizing component 132 is disposed inside the first sealing component 133. The first sealing component 133 is located above the second sealing component 134. The liquid storage component 131 is used to store the etching liquid. The atomizing component 132 can be installed inside the first sealing component 133 and is located above the first negative pressure chamber 135. The etching liquid in the liquid storage component 131 is sprayed onto the watch parts in the first negative pressure chamber 135 through the atomizing component 132 to achieve the purpose of etching and descaling the watch parts.

[0054] Exemplary, for reference Figure 9 As shown, the atomizing element 132 is provided with multiple liquid outlet holes 1321, enabling the atomizing element 132 to spray liquid through the liquid outlet holes 1321, ensuring the uniformity of the spraying of the corrosive liquid. The diameter of the liquid outlet hole 1321 is 0.3 mm.

[0055] Optionally, refer to Figure 4As shown, the first cleaning component 130 further includes a second air regulating component 138 and a second air extraction component 139. The first sealing component 133 is provided with a first mounting groove, and the second sealing component 134 is provided with a second mounting groove. Both the first and second mounting grooves are conical structures. The atomizing component 132 corresponds to the bottom of the first mounting groove. The second air regulating component 138 is disposed between the liquid storage component 131 and the atomizing component 132. The second air extraction component 139 extends to the bottom of the second mounting groove through a pipe. The first mounting groove is connected to the liquid storage component 131 via the mounting base 121. The second mounting slot is connected, in other words, the second gas regulating component 138 is used to control the liquid flow rate of the atomizing component 132. The conical structure of the first and second mounting slots facilitates the spraying of the atomizing component 132. The second suction component 139 generates negative pressure on the first negative pressure chamber 135, making the pressure distribution in the chamber more uniform and avoiding local high or low pressure areas. It effectively guides the gas flow, reduces turbulence and resistance, so that when the watch part is located in the first negative pressure chamber 135, the watch part can be corroded and sprayed, so that the organic dirt on the watch part can be loosened, making it easier for subsequent cleaning processes.

[0056] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, optionally, the second cleaning assembly 140 further includes a third seal 143 and a fourth seal 144. When any of the mounting bases 121 moves to the position of the second cleaning assembly 140, the third seal 143 and the fourth seal 144 move toward the mounting base 121 respectively, so that the opposite sides of the mounting base 121 are respectively connected to the third seal 143 and the fourth seal 144, and the three together define the second negative pressure chamber 142, allowing the mounting base 121 to move to the position of the second cleaning assembly 140. The second cleaning assembly 140 cleans the watch components within the mounting base 121. The third seal 143 and the fourth seal 144 of the second cleaning assembly 140 abut against and seal the mounting base 121. After the watch components within the mounting base 121 are cleaned, the third seal 143 and the fourth seal 144 separate from the mounting base 121, allowing the mounting base 121 to be moved via the transmission assembly 120. This process is repeated so that multiple watch components within the mounting bases 121 are cleaned by the second cleaning assembly 140. Furthermore, the third drive member 145 of the second cleaning assembly 140 drives the third seal 143 to move relative to it, and the fourth drive member 146 of the second cleaning assembly 140 drives the fourth seal 144 to move relative to it. For example, both the third seal 143 and the fourth seal 144 can move relative to each other along a first direction X.

[0057] Optionally, refer to Figure 5As shown, the second cleaning assembly 140 further includes a first air inlet 141 and a first air extraction component 147. The fourth seal 144 is located below the third seal 143. The third mounting groove of the third seal 143 has a conical structure, and the fourth mounting groove of the fourth seal 144 has a cylindrical structure. The third mounting groove can communicate with the fourth mounting groove through the mounting base 121. The third mounting groove is connected to the first air inlet 141, and the fourth mounting groove is connected to the first air extraction component 147. Correspondingly, the third seal 143 is located above the fourth seal 144. The first suction member 147 is disposed in the fourth mounting groove of the cylindrical structure. The first air intake member 141 introduces compressed air into the second cleaning component 140 to generate a knocking phenomenon to dry and clean the watch parts to remove organic dirt. The first suction member 147 uses airflow to remove loose organic dirt, thereby improving the cleaning effect. The first suction member 147 is also used to control the air pressure of the second negative pressure chamber 142 to maintain a negative pressure state in the second negative pressure chamber 142. Exemplarily, there are two first air intake members 141. The two first air intake members 141 can be supplied with room temperature compressed air and high temperature compressed air respectively. The high temperature compressed air is used to dry the watch parts, and the room temperature compressed air is used to clean the watch parts, reducing the adhesion of organic dirt due to heat melting and improving the cleaning effect.

[0058] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, optionally, a third cleaning component 150 is also included. The third cleaning component 150 is mounted on the frame 110. The mounting base 121 is movable to the third cleaning component 150. The first cleaning component 130 is located between the second cleaning component 140 and the third cleaning component 150, so that the mounting base 121 forms a third negative pressure chamber at the position of the third cleaning component 150. The third negative pressure chamber can generate a "vibration" phenomenon through the air valve, which can flush away inorganic dirt from the watch parts.

[0059] Furthermore, the third cleaning assembly 150 also includes a fifth seal 152 and a sixth seal 153, which are respectively able to abut against opposite sides of the mounting base 121 and form a third negative pressure chamber. It is understood that the structure of the third cleaning assembly 150 is quite similar to that of the second cleaning assembly 140, and will not be described in detail here.

[0060] For example, such as Figure 6As shown, the third cleaning component 150 is provided with a third air intake 151 and a third air extraction 154. Both the third air intake 151 and the third air extraction 154 are connected to the third negative pressure chamber. The third air extraction 154 makes the air extraction volume of the third negative pressure chamber greater than the air intake volume, and controls the air pressure of the third negative pressure chamber to keep the third negative pressure chamber in a negative pressure state. The third air intake 151 uses compressed air to generate knocking and impact to flush the inorganic dirt on the watch parts, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0061] Based on any of the above embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the transmission assembly 120 includes a drive motor 124, a transmission component 122, and a connector 123. The connector 123 has several openings, and each mounting base 121 is embedded in one of the openings. The drive motor 124 is drive-connected to the transmission component 122, and the connector 123 is connected to the transmission component 122. In other words, the mounting base 121 is positioned at the opening of the connector 123, and the upper and lower sides of the mounting base 121 remain suspended. At this time, the transmission component 122 remains stationary, so that the upper and lower sides of the mounting base 121 respectively abut against the sealing component to form a negative pressure space. The transmission component 122 does not affect or obstruct the negative pressure space, resulting in better technical performance. Exemplarily, the transmission component 122 is a ring-shaped transmission chain. The drive motor 124 can drive the transmission chain to move, causing the mounting base 121 mounted on the transmission chain via the connector 123 to move.

[0062] Based on any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, optionally, the bottom of the mounting base 121 is provided with a through hole 1211 and a plurality of connecting grooves 1212. Any of the connecting grooves 1212 is connected to the through hole 1211. The plurality of connecting grooves 1212 are respectively arranged around the circumference of the through hole 1211. The through hole 1211 allows the mounting base 121 to maintain unobstructed airflow. The arrangement of the plurality of connecting grooves 1212 can, on the one hand, ensure that there is a moving friction between the watch parts and the connecting grooves 1212, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the watch parts after compressed airflow is introduced. On the other hand, the plurality of connecting grooves 1212 are arranged around the circumference of the through hole 1211, and the connecting grooves 1212 are connected to the through hole 1211, which facilitates the discharge of dirt through the through hole 1211 and reduces the situation of dirt adhering to the watch parts again.

[0063] In summary, the frame 110 of the watch component cleaning device 100 is used to install the transmission assembly 120, the first cleaning assembly 130, and the second cleaning assembly 140. Several mounting seats 121 of the transmission assembly 120 are respectively used to place watch components to be cleaned. The transmission assembly 120 can move the watch components placed on the mounting seats 121 to the positions of the first cleaning assembly 130 or the second cleaning assembly 140. The liquid reservoir 131 of the first cleaning assembly 130 is used to store the etching solution, and the atomizing element 132 is used to atomize the etching solution in the liquid reservoir 131 onto the surface of the watch component to be cleaned within the first negative pressure chamber 135. Organic dirt is sprayed and eroded to facilitate subsequent cleaning processes. Multiple watch parts to be cleaned are eroded by the first cleaning component 130 to improve the cleaning efficiency of the entire device. Dry air is introduced into the second negative pressure chamber 142 through the first air inlet 141 of the second cleaning component 140. Since the second negative pressure chamber 142 is already under negative pressure, the dry airflow will generate a strong turbulence effect when it enters, producing a "vibration" phenomenon, which in turn forms an instantaneous high-energy shock wave. This applies mechanical force to the surface of the watch parts, which can wash away the organic dirt whose adhesion has been weakened, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] refer to Figure 10 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a cleaning method that utilizes the watch component cleaning device 100 described in the above embodiments. The cleaning method includes the following steps:

[0066] Step S100: Place the watch parts into the mounting base 121 at the loading position;

[0067] Step S200: Move the mounting base 121 to the position of the first cleaning component 130;

[0068] Step S300: The first cleaning component 130 closes the mounting base 121 and defines the first negative pressure chamber 135, sprays an erosion liquid into the first negative pressure chamber 135, and keeps the mounting base 121 stationary for a first preset time.

[0069] Step S400: Move the mounting base 121 from the first cleaning component 130 to the position of the second cleaning component 140;

[0070] Step S500: The second cleaning component 140 closes the mounting base 121 and defines the second negative pressure chamber 142, and a preset airflow is introduced into the second negative pressure chamber 142 for drying;

[0071] Step S600: Move the mounting base 121 to the unloading position for unloading.

[0072] Specifically, the watch component is placed in the mounting base 121 at the loading position, and the mounting base 121 is moved to the position of the first cleaning component 130 via the transfer assembly 120. The first seal 133 and the second seal 134 of the first cleaning component 130 move toward the mounting base 121 to seal the mounting base 121 and define the first negative pressure chamber 135. The liquid reservoir 131 sprays an eroding liquid into the negative pressure chamber through the atomizer 132. The mounting base 121 is kept stationary for a first preset time, and the first seal 133 and the second seal 134 move away from the mounting base 121, spraying and eroding the organic dirt on the surface of the watch component to be cleaned in the first negative pressure chamber 135 to facilitate subsequent cleaning processes.

[0073] In this application, the etching solution is a mixture of dichloromethane and anhydrous ethanol, with dichloromethane (CHCl) at 25%-35% (volume ratio) and anhydrous ethanol (CHOH) at 65%-75% (volume ratio). Anhydrous ethanol helps the liquid better wet the surface of the watch parts, improving the etching solution's coverage. Dichloromethane has a good etching effect on organic contaminants, effectively decomposing and removing organic pollutants from the workpiece surface, giving the etching solution excellent etching performance, easy evaporation and removal properties, and safety.

[0074] The mounting base 121 is moved from the position of the first cleaning component 130 to the position of the second cleaning component 140 via the transmission component 120. The second cleaning component 140 and the mounting base 121 together define a second negative pressure chamber 142. A preset airflow is introduced into the second negative pressure chamber 142 through the first air inlet 141 for drying. When the drying airflow enters the second negative pressure chamber 142, since the second negative pressure chamber 142 is already under negative pressure, the drying airflow will generate a strong turbulence effect, producing a "shock" phenomenon, and thus forming a momentary high-energy shock wave. This applies mechanical force to the surface of the watch components, which can wash away organic dirt whose adhesion has been weakened, thereby improving the cleaning effect. The third air inlet 151 is used to control the air pressure of the second negative pressure chamber 142 to ensure that the second negative pressure chamber 142 is in a state of high pressure. The internal pressure is maintained at 2. The suction pressure of the third air inlet 151 is 1 kPa to 2 kPa. The preset airflow includes a first preset airflow and a second preset airflow. The moisture content of both the first and second preset airflows is less than or equal to 0.5%, and the air pressure is 0.5 MPa to 0.8 MPa. The first preset airflow is a room temperature compressed airflow, and the second preset airflow is a high temperature compressed airflow with a temperature of 65°C to 75°C. The first and second preset airflows can be controlled to remain open or closed by air valves to achieve a rapid drying effect on the watch parts. The mounting base 121 is moved to the unloading position by the transmission component 120 for unloading. The cleaning method of this application achieves automatic dust and impurity removal for watch parts, improves the degree of automation, has high reliability, and ensures the cleaning effect on watch parts.

[0075] Optionally, the time for placing the watch parts in the mounting base 121 at the loading position is 40 seconds, the cleaning time of the first cleaning component 130 is 40 seconds, wherein the time for spraying the etching liquid by the first cleaning component 130 is 10 seconds, the first preset time for keeping the mounting base 121 stationary is 30 seconds, the cleaning time of the second cleaning component 140 is 40 seconds, wherein the running time of the first preset airflow is 25 seconds, and the second preset airflow remains closed when the first preset airflow is running, and vice versa, the running time of the second preset airflow is 15 seconds, and the time for moving the mounting base 121 to the unloading position for unloading is 40 seconds. By setting the above time, the automatic operation of the watch parts cleaning device 100 is maintained, and multiple watch parts are cleaned and dusted in sequence, reducing the occurrence of stagnation or interruption of the watch parts cleaning device 100, and improving the cleaning efficiency and the degree of automation of the watch parts cleaning device 100.

[0076] In this application, the watch component cleaning device 100 is equipped with a third cleaning component 150. After the watch component is placed on the mounting base 121 at the loading position, the mounting base 121 can be moved to the position of the third cleaning component 150 to clean inorganic dirt. Since the adhesion of inorganic dirt is weak, the inorganic dirt can be cleaned by generating a "vibration" phenomenon through the air valve in the third negative pressure chamber of the third cleaning component 150, thereby improving the cleaning effect. The cleaning time of the third cleaning component 150 is the same as the cleaning time of the first cleaning component 130 and the second cleaning component 140. For example, the cleaning time of the third cleaning component 150 can be 40 seconds to ensure the sequential operation of the entire cleaning device. After the inorganic dirt is cleaned at the position of the third cleaning component 150, the mounting base 121 is moved to the first cleaning component 130 and the second cleaning component 140 to clean organic dirt, and wash away the organic dirt whose adhesion has been weakened. As an example, the third air intake 151 of the third cleaning component 150 introduces a compressed airflow with a moisture content of less than or equal to 0.5% and a pressure of 0.5 MPa to 0.8 MPa, and the third air extraction component 154 provides an extraction pressure of 1 kPa to 2 kPa to the third negative pressure chamber.

[0077] It can be understood that the transmission component 122 is a ring-shaped transmission chain. When the ring-shaped transmission chain moves relative to each other, it drives the mounting base 121, so that the multiple mounting bases 121 on the ring-shaped transmission chain are respectively cleaned in the third cleaning component 150, the second cleaning component 140 and the first cleaning component 130 in sequence. They do not affect or hinder each other. Through the transmission component 122, they can be transferred and moved between the third cleaning component 150, the second cleaning component 140 and the first cleaning component 130, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the overall cleaning device.
