Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automated equipment, and particularly to an automated beaker cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] During the processing of PBC boards, various chemical liquids are used, such as acidic copper chloride solution and alkaline copper chloride solution. These chemical liquids play a key role in different processes to ensure product quality and production efficiency. However, in actual operation, these chemical liquids need to be tested regularly to monitor their concentration changes and be adjusted in a timely manner to ensure process stability and product consistency. This process is not only cumbersome but also time-consuming, directly affecting the overall efficiency of the production line.

[0003] Currently, in order to accurately test the chemical liquid in the beaker, the following methods are usually adopted: one is the manual scrubbing method, that is, the staff manually wipes the beaker with a rag; the second is the immersion and rinsing method, that is, the beaker is placed in a special cleaning tank and rinsed with water flow; the third is the high-pressure spraying method, and the inner and outer surfaces of the beaker are directly powerfully rinsed with a high-pressure water gun. In addition, there is also the ultrasonic cleaning method, which uses the cavitation effect generated by ultrasonic vibration to remove attachments. Although the above methods can meet the basic cleaning requirements, there are obvious deficiencies in actual applications.

[0004] Regarding the above related technologies, there are the following defects: Whether it is manual scrubbing or various mechanized cleaning methods, they all rely on manual intervention or single equipment operation, resulting in low work efficiency and prone to human errors. Especially in the environment of large-scale testing, frequent manual operations increase the labor intensity, reduce the cleaning efficiency, and it is also difficult to ensure the quality consistency and reliability of each cleaning. Therefore, there is still room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to reduce the work intensity of the staff and improve the cleaning efficiency, this application provides an automated beaker cleaning device.

[0006] The automated beaker cleaning device provided by this application adopts the following technical solutions: An automated beaker cleaning device, comprising: A workbench, a frame is arranged outside the workbench, and several working areas are defined on the workbench. The several working areas are successively a draining area, a rinsing area, a drying area, and a temporary storage area; A transfer mechanism, which is installed at the frame and is used to transfer the beaker in the previous working area to the next working area; A draining tank, which is located in the draining area and is used to place the beaker to be cleaned in an inverted state; A rinsing mechanism, which is located in the rinsing area and is used to clean the inner and outer walls of the beaker in the rinsing area; A drying mechanism, which is located in the drying area and is used to dry the inner and outer walls of the beaker in the drying area; A temporary storage position, which is set in the temporary storage area and is used to temporarily place the cleaned beakers; Two material transfer mechanisms, which are installed on both sides of the frame and are respectively located outside the draining area and outside the temporary storage area. The material transfer mechanism at the draining area is used to move the beaker to be cleaned into the draining area and invert the beaker to be cleaned onto the draining trough; the material transfer mechanism at the temporary storage area is used to move the cleaned beaker out of the temporary storage area.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the beaker to be cleaned is sent into the draining area by the material transfer mechanism from the previous chemical analysis process and inverted in the draining trough, effectively removing most of the residual liquid and reducing the subsequent cleaning burden. Subsequently, the transfer mechanism transfers the beaker to the rinsing area and the drying area successively to thoroughly clean the inner and outer walls and dry it quickly. Each working area is responsible for specific cleaning steps to ensure that each step can be executed efficiently and reliably. Finally, the cleaned beaker is moved to the temporary storage area for further processing, so that the transfer mechanism can move the beaker in the temporary storage area out. The whole process realizes high automation, greatly reduces the working intensity of the staff, and improves the consistency of chemical analysis efficiency and cleaning quality.

[0008] Preferably, the rinsing mechanism includes: A rinsing trough, on the inner bottom wall of which a first spray head is provided. The beaker to be rinsed is placed upside down in the rinsing trough and covers the first spray head, and the spraying range of the first spray head covers the inner wall of the beaker; A water shielding cover, which is used to cover the outer periphery of the beaker to be rinsed. A second spray head is arranged inside the water shielding cover, and the spraying range of the second spray head covers the outer wall of the beaker; A first driving member, which is used to drive the water shielding cover to move up and down; A water supply assembly, which is connected to the first spray head and the second spray head and is used to supply cleaning liquid to the first spray head and the second spray head.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the flushing mechanism can comprehensively clean the inner and outer walls of the beaker efficiently. Specifically, the beaker to be flushed is placed upside down in the flushing tank. The first nozzle sprays the cleaning liquid from below, and its spraying range covers the inner wall of the beaker to ensure that the inner wall is thoroughly cleaned. At the same time, the water baffle is arranged outside the beaker. The second nozzle arranged inside sprays the cleaning liquid from all around, covering the outer wall of the beaker to further enhance the cleaning effect. The water baffle plays a role in blocking and can prevent the cleaning liquid from splashing onto other working areas. In addition, the first driving member can drive the water baffle to move up and down. After the cleaning is completed, the water baffle moves up, creating space for the transfer mechanism to transfer the flushed beaker to the drying area. The water supply assembly is connected to the first nozzle and the second nozzle to ensure a stable supply of the cleaning liquid, thereby improving the overall cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0010] Preferably, a first top rod is vertically arranged on the inner top wall of the water baffle. When the water baffle is arranged outside the beaker, the lower end of the first top rod abuts against the outer bottom wall of the beaker.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the first top rod enables the water baffle to accurately position and stably support the beaker when it is arranged outside the beaker, preventing it from shaking or shifting during the flushing process, thereby ensuring that the cleaning liquid evenly covers the inner and outer walls of the beaker and improving the cleaning effect and reliability.

[0012] Preferably, the drying mechanism includes: A drying tank. A first air jet port is arranged on the inner bottom wall of the flushing tank. The beaker to be dried is placed upside down in the drying tank and covers the first air jet port. The spraying range of the first air jet port covers the inner wall of the beaker; A shielding cover, which is used to cover the outside of the beaker to be dried. A second air jet port is arranged inside the shielding cover, and the spraying range of the second air jet port covers the outer wall of the beaker; A second driving member, which is used to drive the shielding cover to move up and down; An air supply assembly, which is connected to the first air jet port and the second air jet port and is used to supply gas to the first air jet port and the second air jet port.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the first jet orifice and the second jet orifice respectively cover the inner wall and the outer wall of the beaker, ensuring efficient drying without dead angles. The shielding cover plays a sealing role, making the beaker in the drying area in a relatively closed environment, providing favorable conditions for the drying operation, enabling the gas to be evenly distributed around the beaker, and further improving the drying effect and speed. In addition, the second driving member can drive the shielding cover to move up and down. After the drying is completed, the shielding cover moves up, leaving space for the transfer mechanism to transfer the dried beaker to the temporary storage area. In addition, the air supply assembly continuously supplies dry gas to the first jet orifice and the second jet orifice, ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire drying process.

[0014] Preferably, a second top rod is vertically arranged on the inner top wall of the shielding cover. When the shielding cover covers the outer periphery of the beaker, the lower end of the second top rod abuts against the outer bottom wall of the beaker.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the beaker can be accurately positioned and stably supported, preventing it from shaking or shifting during the drying process, which is beneficial to improving the drying effect and reliability.

[0016] Preferably, the transfer mechanism includes a cross frame and a plurality of first suction cups horizontally distributed on the cross frame. The workbench is provided with a third driving member for driving the cross frame to move vertically and horizontally. When the transfer mechanism performs the beaker transfer step, driven by the third driving member, the plurality of first suction cups on the cross frame simultaneously adsorb the beakers at the draining area, the rinsing area, and the drying area, and perform synchronous horizontal movement under the drive of the third driving member to transfer the beakers in the previous working area to the next working area.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the cross frame and the multiple first suction cups thereon can simultaneously adsorb multiple beakers in different working areas (such as the draining area, the rinsing area, and the drying area), and perform synchronous vertical and horizontal movement under the action of the third driving member, so as to quickly and accurately transfer the beakers from one working area to another. This design not only improves the continuity and stability of the entire cleaning process, realizes efficient and accurate beaker transfer movements, but also significantly reduces the need for manual intervention, further improving the cleaning efficiency and the consistency of quality.

[0018] Preferably, the material transfer mechanism includes: A moving seat is vertically slidably connected to the frame body. The frame body is provided with a moving driving member for driving the moving seat to move up and down. The moving seat is hinged with a flipping seat. The rotation axis of the flipping seat is vertically arranged. The moving seat is provided with a first flipping driving member for driving the flipping seat to perform side flipping. Turning frame, the turning frame is rotatably connected to the turning frame, the axis of rotation of the turning frame is horizontally arranged, the turning frame is used to place beakers, a second suction cup for adsorbing and fixing the beaker is arranged at the turning frame, and the turning seat is provided with a second turning drive for driving the turning frame to turn up and down; Grasping assembly, the grasping assembly is used to clamp and transfer the beaker to be cleaned, and the frame body is provided with a fourth drive for driving the grasping assembly to move longitudinally and vertically; During the process of the material transfer mechanism sending the beaker to be cleaned into the draining area, the grasping assembly clamps and places the beaker to be cleaned at the turning frame in a state with the opening facing up under the drive of the fourth drive; the turning frame turns down under the drive of the second turning drive so that the opening of the beaker faces down; the turning seat turns sideways under the drive of the first turning drive and horizontally swings the turning frame above the draining trough in the draining area; the moving seat moves down under the drive of the moving drive to place the beaker upside down in the draining trough.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, the material transfer mechanism realizes the precise transfer and upside-down placement of the beaker from the initial position to the draining area. Specifically, the design of the moving seat and the moving drive enables the entire material transfer mechanism to freely lift in the vertical direction to adapt to different height requirements. The turning seat and its first turning drive can realize the side-turning action in the horizontal plane, and cooperate with the downward movement of the moving seat to smoothly transfer the beaker to the designated position. The turning frame and its second turning drive can complete the change of the beaker from the upright state to the upside-down state, ensuring that the residual liquid inside the beaker is fully discharged before entering the draining area. The combined use of the grasping assembly and the fourth drive enables the manipulator to flexibly move in three-dimensional space, accurately capture the target beaker and transport it to the turning frame. The whole process has a high degree of automation, reduces manual operation, and improves work efficiency. Overall, it improves the cleaning efficiency, reduces the possibility of manual intervention, and enhances the safety and stability of the system operation.

[0020] Preferably, a collection trough is arranged outside the draining area, and the turning frame performs a downward turning action above the collection trough to pour the test solution in the beaker into the collection trough.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solutions, during the process of sending the beaker into the draining area, the test solution in the beaker can be automatically poured into the collection trough, avoiding the inconvenience and potential pollution risk of manual pouring, and improving the efficiency of the preparatory work before cleaning.

[0022] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By setting up multiple work areas (drainage area, rinsing area, drying area, and temporary storage area) and transfer mechanisms, the whole-process automated cleaning process of the beaker is realized, greatly improving the cleaning efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and lowering the working intensity of the staff; 2. The design of the drainage tank and the material transfer mechanism enables the beaker to be cleaned to be automatically inverted and drained of the residual liquid, effectively avoiding the pollution risk caused by manual pouring, and improving the cleaning quality and reliability; 3. Both the rinsing mechanism and the drying mechanism are equipped with the function of cleaning the inner and outer walls to ensure that both the inner and outer surfaces of the beaker can be thoroughly cleaned, preventing the residual substances from affecting the accuracy of the subsequent test results.

Detailed Embodiments

[0029] The following is combined with the attachedFigures 1-6 Further detailed description is made to this application.

[0030] An embodiment of this application discloses an automatic cleaning device for beakers. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the automatic cleaning device for beakers 9 provided by the embodiment of this application includes a workbench 1, a frame 2, a transfer mechanism 7, a draining tank 3, a flushing mechanism 4, a drying mechanism 5, a temporary storage position 6, and two material transfer mechanisms 8. Specifically, a frame 2 is installed at the middle position on the outer side of the workbench 1. The workbench 1 is horizontally and equally spacedly divided into several working areas, and the several working areas are successively a draining area 11, a flushing area 12, a drying area 13, and a temporary storage area 14. Among them, the draining tank 3 is installed at the draining area 11 and is used to place the beakers 9 to be cleaned in an inverted state. The flushing mechanism 4 is installed at the flushing area 12 and is used to clean the inner and outer walls of the beakers 9 in the flushing area 12. The drying mechanism 5 is installed at the drying area 13 and is used to dry the inner and outer walls of the beakers 9 in the drying area 13. The temporary storage position 6 is composed of a plate-like structure and is horizontally installed at the temporary storage area 14 and is used to temporarily place the cleaned beakers 9.

[0031] In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 7 is installed at the frame 2, and the moving range of the transfer mechanism 7 covers each working area, so as to transfer the beakers 9 in the previous working area to the next working area, so that the beakers 9 to be cleaned can be successively drained, flushed, and dried and then stored at the temporary storage position 6.

[0032] In this embodiment, the two material transfer mechanisms 8 are installed on both sides of the frame 2 and are respectively located outside the draining area 11 and outside the temporary storage area 14. Among them, the material transfer mechanism 8 at the draining area 11 is used to move the beakers 9 to be cleaned into the draining area 11 and invert the beakers 9 to be cleaned onto the draining tank 3; the material transfer mechanism 8 at the temporary storage area 14 is used to move the cleaned beakers 9 out of the temporary storage area 14.

[0033] Specifically, the workbench 1 serves as a basic platform, on which four working areas, namely the draining area 11, the flushing area 12, the drying area 13, and the temporary storage area 14, are divided, realizing the full-process automation of the beakers 9 from pretreatment to final storage. The frame 2 supports all moving parts to ensure the stable operation of the system.

[0034] In this embodiment, the draining tank 3 is located in the draining area 11. Three groups of longitudinally equally spaced limiting claws 10 are installed at the inner bottom wall of the draining tank 3, and three longitudinally distributed beakers 9 can be drained at a time. The draining tank 3 is mainly used to receive the liquid poured out from the beakers 9. The draining tank 3 is designed with a sufficient volume to accommodate the waste liquid after multiple cleanings. In addition, a drain hole is provided at the bottom of the draining tank 3 to facilitate the discharge of the waste liquid and keep the working environment clean.

[0035] Referring to Figure 3 andFigure 4 , in this embodiment, the flushing mechanism 4 mainly includes a flushing tank 43, a first spray head 45, a water baffle 42, a second spray head 44, a first driving member 41 and a water supply assembly. Specifically, the flushing tank 43 is installed at the flushing area 12 and a drain hole is installed at the bottom. Three longitudinally arranged limiting claws 10 are also fixed on the inner bottom wall of the flushing tank 43. The flushing mechanism 4 can perform flushing operations on three beakers 9 at a time. A first spray head 45 is arranged on the inner bottom wall of the flushing tank 43. The beaker 9 to be flushed is placed upside down in the flushing tank 43 and covers the first spray head 45. The spraying range of the first spray head 45 covers the inner wall of the beaker 9. Among them, the water baffle 42 is used to cover the outer periphery of the beaker 9 to be flushed to form a relatively closed flushing environment. When the beaker 9 is moved from the draining area 11 to the flushing area 12, the first driving member 41 drives the water baffle 42 to move downward, so that the water baffle 42 is closely attached to the flushing tank 43 to form a sealed space, effectively preventing water from splashing out during the flushing stage. The first driving member 41 is specifically a cylinder installed on the bracket above the workbench 1 and arranged vertically downward. The piston rod of the cylinder is fixed to the top of the water baffle 42. In addition, a second spray head 44 is installed on the top of the water baffle 42. The second spray head 44 extends to the inner top wall of the water baffle 42 and is arranged vertically downward. The spraying range of the second spray head 44 covers the outer wall of the beaker 9. The sewage generated by cleaning is discharged through the drain hole.

[0036] In this embodiment, the water supply assembly is composed of a water tank, a water pump and a hose commonly used in cleaning equipment. The hose of the water supply assembly is connected to the first spray head 45 and the second spray head 44 to ensure that the cleaning liquid is evenly sprayed and the dirt on the inner and outer walls of the beaker 9 is completely removed. This design not only improves the cleaning effect, but also reduces the water consumption, saving energy and protecting the environment.

[0037] In this embodiment, the drying mechanism 5 includes a drying tank 53, a first jet orifice 55, a shielding cover 52, a second jet orifice 54, a second driving member 51, and a gas supply assembly. The drying tank 53 is installed at the drying area 13, and three longitudinally arranged limiting claws 10 are also fixed on the inner bottom wall of the drying tank 53. The drying mechanism 5 can perform drying operations on three beakers 9 at a time. A first jet orifice 55 facing upward is installed on the inner bottom wall of the drying tank 53. When the beaker 9 after the flushing is moved from the flushing area 12 to the drying area 13, the beaker 9 is placed in the drying tank 53 in an inverted state and covers above the first jet orifice 55, and the spraying range of the first jet orifice 55 covers the inner wall of the beaker 9. The shielding cover 52 is used to cover the outer periphery of the beaker 9 to be dried, and a second jet orifice 54 is arranged inside, and the spraying range of the second jet orifice 54 covers the outer wall of the beaker 9. Among them, when the beaker 9 is driven by the moving mechanism to move from the flushing area 12 to the drying area 13, the first driving member 41 drives the water shielding cover 42 to move downward, so that the shielding cover 52 is closely attached to the drying tank 53 to form a sealed space. The first driving member 41 is specifically a cylinder installed on the bracket above the workbench 1 and arranged vertically downward, and the piston rod of the cylinder is fixed to the top of the shielding cover 52. The spraying range of the second jet orifice 54 covers the outer wall of the beaker 9. Air holes are arranged at the bottom of the drying area 13 to facilitate the discharge of the gas inside the shielding cover 52.

[0038] In this embodiment, the gas supply assembly is composed of a blower, a heating box, and an air supply pipe commonly used in drying equipment. The air supply pipe of the gas supply assembly is connected to the first jet orifice 55 and the second jet orifice 54. The gas supply assembly continuously supplies drying gas to the first jet orifice 55 and the second jet orifice 54, ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire drying process.

[0039] To improve the stability during the cleaning process of the beaker 9, a first top rod 46 is vertically arranged on the inner top wall of the water shielding cover 42. When the water shielding cover 42 covers the outer periphery of the beaker 9, the lower end of the first top rod 46 abuts against the outer bottom wall of the beaker 9. In addition, a second top rod 56 is vertically arranged on the inner top wall of the shielding cover 52. When the shielding cover 52 covers the outer periphery of the beaker 9, the lower end of the second top rod 56 abuts against the outer bottom wall of the beaker 9. The design of the top rod can accurately position and stably support the beaker 9, preventing it from shaking or shifting during the flushing and drying processes, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect and reliability.

[0040] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4, in this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 7 includes a cross frame 72 and a plurality of first suction cups 73. The workbench 1 is provided with a third driving member 71 for driving the cross frame 72 to move vertically and horizontally. The third driving member 71 adopts a conventional two-axis manipulator, and the purpose of accurately moving the cross frame 72 is achieved through the cooperation of a vertical linear module and a horizontal linear module. The cross frame 72 can move vertically and horizontally through the third driving member 71. In this embodiment, vertical rods 74 are respectively arranged at both ends and the midpoint position of the cross frame 72, and three first suction cups 73 are installed on each vertical rod 74, and the three first suction cups 73 are longitudinally distributed. When the transfer mechanism 7 performs the step of transferring the beakers 9, the third driving member 71 drives the cross frame 72 to move horizontally, so that the suction cups of the three vertical rods 74 respectively move to the draining area 11, the rinsing area 12, and the drying area 13, and each suction cup faces downward and is directly opposite to the beaker 9 in the corresponding working area. Then the third driving member 71 drives the cross frame 72 to move downward, and the first suction cups 73 on the three vertical rods 74 respectively adsorb the beakers 9 in the draining area 11, the rinsing area 12, and the drying area 13. Then the third driving member 71 drives the cross frame 72 to move upward, so as to lift the beakers 9. Then, under the drive of the third driving member 71, the cross frame 72 moves towards the temporary storage area 14, and the beakers 9 in the three vertical columns move horizontally synchronously, so as to transfer the beakers 9 in the draining area 11 to the rinsing area 12, transfer the beakers 9 in the rinsing area 12 to the drying area, and transfer the beakers 9 in the drying area to the temporary storage area 14, achieving the purpose of synchronously transferring the beakers 9 in multiple working areas, thereby reducing the number of transfer mechanisms 7, reducing manual intervention, and improving efficiency.

[0041] In this embodiment, three longitudinally distributed limit claws 10 are installed at the temporary storage position 6, and three beakers 9 can be temporarily stored at a time, so that the material transfer mechanism 8 can accurately grasp and transfer them.

[0042] Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6, in this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 8 located outside the draining area 11 and the transfer mechanism 8 located outside the temporary storage area 14 have the same structure. Specifically, the transfer mechanism 8 includes a moving seat 84, a flipping seat 85, a flipping frame 86, a second suction cup 861, a grasping assembly 82, and a fourth driving member 81. The moving seat 84 is vertically slidably connected to the frame body 2, and the frame body 2 is equipped with a moving driving member for driving the moving seat 84 to move up and down. The moving driving member adopts a conventional vertical linear module. In addition, the flipping seat 85 is hinged to the moving seat 84, the rotation axis of the flipping seat 85 is vertically arranged, and the moving seat 84 is equipped with a first flipping driving member 88 for driving the flipping seat 85 to perform a side flip. The first flipping driving member 88 adopts a conventional motor. The flipping frame 86 is rotatably connected to the flipping seat 85, the rotation axis of the flipping frame 86 is horizontally arranged, and the flipping frame 86 is used for placing the beaker 9. In this embodiment, the flipping frame 86 is provided with three slots for placing the beaker 9. A second suction cup 861 for adsorbing and fixing the beaker 9 is installed at the bottom of the slot of the flipping frame 86. In addition, the flipping seat 85 is equipped with a second flipping driving member 87 for driving the flipping frame 86 to flip up and down. The second flipping driving member 87 adopts a motor.

[0043] The grasping assembly 82 adopts a conventional gripper. In this embodiment, there are three grippers in total and they are horizontally distributed. It is used to transfer the beaker 9 to be cleaned generated in the previous chemical analysis process to the slot on the flipping frame 86. Among them, the frame body 2 is equipped with a fourth driving member 81 for driving the grasping assembly 82 to move longitudinally and vertically. The fourth driving member 81 adopts a conventional two-axis manipulator, which is composed of a longitudinally arranged linear module and a vertically arranged linear module.

[0044] During the process of the transfer mechanism 8 feeding the beaker 9 to be cleaned into the draining area 11, the flipping frame 86 waits for the beaker 9 to be cleaned in a horizontal state. At this time, the grasping assembly 82, under the drive of the fourth driving member 81, clamps and places the beaker 9 to be cleaned in an upward-opening state at the flipping frame 86. At this time, the beaker 9 still contains the chemical analysis solution generated in the previous chemical analysis process. In this embodiment, a collection tank 15 for collecting the solution is arranged outside the draining area 11, and the collection tank 15 is movable. The flipping frame 86 is above the collection tank 15; the flipping frame 86 is driven by the second flipping driving member 87 to turn downwards, so that the opening of the beaker 9 faces downwards, thereby pouring the solution in the beaker 9 into the collection tank 15.

[0045] Then, the flipping seat 85 performs a 90° side flip under the drive of the first flipping driving member 88, and horizontally swings the flipping frame 86 to above the draining groove 3 in the draining area 11. At this time, the flipping frame 86 switches from horizontal to longitudinal, and the beaker 9 on the flipping frame 86 is directly opposite to the limit claw 10 on the draining groove. The moving seat 84 moves downwards under the drive of the moving driving member to place the beaker 9 upside down in the draining groove 3 and position it through the limit claw 10.

[0046] During the process of the material transfer mechanism 8 taking out the cleaned beaker 9 from the temporary storage area 14, the flipping frame 86 is driven by the second flipping drive member 87 to turn downwards, with the slot facing downwards. Then, the flipping seat 85 is driven by the first flipping drive member 88 to perform a 90° side flip, so as to swing the flipping frame 86 horizontally above the temporary storage position 6 at the temporary storage area 14. At this time, the flipping frame 86 switches from transverse to longitudinal, and the slot on the flipping frame 86 is directly opposite to the beaker 9 at the temporary storage position 6. Then, the moving seat 84 moves downwards under the drive of the moving drive member, so that the slot of the flipping frame 86 is inserted and matched with the beaker 9 placed upside down, and the second suction cup 861 of the flipping frame 86 adsorbs the outer bottom wall of the beaker 9.

[0047] Then the flipping frame 86 returns along the original path, so as to take out the cleaned beaker 9 from the temporary storage area 14. Finally, the grasping assembly 82 clamps out the cleaned beaker 9 from the flipping frame 86 in a state with the opening facing upwards under the drive of the fourth drive member 81, and transfers it to the next process. This linkage mechanism ensures the seamless connection of the beaker 9 between each process, and can improve the automation degree of the whole system.

[0048] In this embodiment, both the first suction cup 73 and the second suction cup 861 are electric suction cups, which can realize the functions of automatic adsorption and release.

[0049] The implementation principle of an automatic cleaning device for beakers 9 in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: This automatic cleaning device for beakers 9 realizes the full-automatic cleaning of beakers 9 through reasonable zoning and an efficient transfer mechanism. First, the beakers 9 to be cleaned are sent into the draining area 11 by the material transfer mechanism 8, and are drained upside down through the draining tank 3 to remove most of the residual liquid. Then, the transfer mechanism 7 transfers the beakers 9 from the draining area 11 to the flushing area 12, and the flushing mechanism 4 uses the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 44 to respectively perform a full-round cleaning on the inner and outer walls of the beakers 9 to ensure complete removal of dirt. Subsequently, the transfer mechanism 7 transfers the beakers 9 to the drying area 13 again, and the drying mechanism 5 blows dry the inner and outer walls of the beakers 9 through the first air jet port 55 and the second air jet port 54 to quickly remove moisture.
