Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal component cleaning, specifically to a fully automatic twelve-tank ultrasonic cleaning machine with active disturbance cleaning basket. Background Technology

[0002] In the prior art, multi-tank ultrasonic cleaning machines typically use a robotic arm to sequentially place the cleaning basket into each cleaning tank, rinsing tank, and drying tank. An ultrasonic generator is installed in the tank. The cleaning basket remains stationary in the tank or only undergoes simple lifting and lowering movements via the robotic arm. A fixed bracket is provided at the bottom of the tank to support the cleaning basket. The cleaning basket relies on the ultrasonic cavitation effect for cleaning.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, the cleaning basket can only passively receive the ultrasonic action in the tank, and the flow of the cleaning fluid on the surface of the workpiece is very weak. For workpieces with complex shapes and many blind holes, it is not possible to effectively clean the blind holes, deep holes and complex internal cavity structures on the surface of the workpiece. As a result, the dirt particles in the blind holes cannot be removed from the surface of the workpiece and remain at the bottom of the blind holes for a long time without being discharged. The overall cleaning uniformity is poor and the cleanliness is difficult to meet the requirements of precision parts.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a fully automatic twelve-tank ultrasonic cleaning machine with active agitation of the cleaning basket, which allows the cleaning basket to move in multiple directions within the tank, enhancing the agitation and scouring of the cleaning fluid on the workpiece surface and in blind holes, effectively removing dirt, improving overall cleaning uniformity and cleanliness, and solving the technical problem in the existing technology where the cleaning basket can only passively receive ultrasonic waves within the tank, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by providing a fully automatic twelve-tank ultrasonic cleaning machine with active disturbance of the cleaning basket. Vertical disturbance is achieved by raising and lowering the cleaning basket through the bracket, while horizontal reciprocating disturbance is achieved by push plates and buffer plates being inserted into the cleaning basket from both sides and supporting it with ball bearings. Together, they form a multi-dimensional motion, which enhances the ultrasonic impact and improves the uniformity of cleaning.

[0006] To address the problems of existing technologies, this invention provides a fully automatic twelve-tank ultrasonic cleaning machine with active disturbance of the cleaning basket. The machine includes a frame and loading and unloading platforms at both ends of the frame. A rotary platform is provided between the loading and unloading platforms. The frame has four cleaning tanks, three rinsing tanks, and five drying tanks arranged sequentially along its length. A robotic arm is provided along the length of the frame for sequentially moving the cleaning basket between the tanks. The robotic arm has a lifting frame with two horizontally opposing support arms. The lower end of each support arm has an outwardly extending flange for hooking onto the crossbeam at the top of the cleaning basket. Each of the washing and rinsing tanks is equipped with a vertically movable bracket. The bracket has an array of balls that roll in conjunction with the bottom of the washing basket. Each support arm has a vertically movable sliding frame. Each sliding frame has a horizontal agitation mechanism, which includes a push plate and a buffer plate. The push plate and the buffer plate are arranged opposite each other in the front and rear directions, respectively located on the front and rear sides of the sliding frame. The sliding frame has a linear actuator connected to the push plate for pushing the washing basket to move in the front-rear direction. The sliding frame also has an elastic reset member connected to the buffer plate for pushing the washing basket to reset when the push plate resets.

[0007] Preferably, the edges of the push plate and the buffer plate are provided with retaining edges, and the two push plates and the two buffer plates together form a rectangular clamping frame for clamping the cleaning basket.

[0008] Preferably, the sliding frame includes a first sliding plate, two vertical sliding grooves are symmetrically provided on the support arm, the first sliding plate is provided with a sliding part that slides in cooperation with the vertical sliding grooves, the end of the first sliding plate is provided with a guide plate corresponding to the buffer plate, and the elastic reset member is a compression spring fixedly connected between the buffer plate and the guide plate.

[0009] Preferably, the sliding frame further includes a second sliding plate, on which a strip groove is formed and fitted onto the two sliding parts. The push plate is fixedly connected to one end of the second sliding plate. The sliding part is provided with a limiting baffle located outside the second sliding plate. The linear drive is mounted on the limiting baffle and is connected to the second sliding plate in a transmission manner.

[0010] Preferably, both the push plate and the buffer plate are strip-shaped structures, and the lower ends of both the push plate and the buffer plate extend vertically downwards to the lower half of the washing basket.

[0011] Preferably, both the push plate and the buffer plate have chamfered edges on their lower inner sides to form guide surfaces that prevent interference with the cleaning basket when inserted downwards.

[0012] Preferably, the guide plate has multiple guide holes, each guide hole is fitted with a guide rod that is fixedly connected to the buffer plate, and each guide rod is fitted with a compression spring, the two ends of the compression spring abutting against the buffer plate and the guide plate respectively.

[0013] Preferably, the bracket is provided with limiting side plates on its left and right sides respectively, and a limiting channel is formed between the two limiting side plates to guide the washing basket to slide in the front-back direction.

[0014] Preferably, the bracket is composed of a vertical plate and a horizontal plate, the horizontal plate is disposed at the lower end of the vertical plate, and the frame is provided with a vertical disturbance mechanism that is pulsatingly connected to the vertical plate. The vertical disturbance mechanism and the horizontal disturbance mechanism together constitute a composite disturbance structure.

[0015] Preferably, the outer surface of the support arm is a vertical plane, which slides in conjunction with the inner wall of the top beam of the cleaning basket to guide the up-and-down movement of the cleaning basket.

[0016] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are: 1. This invention connects a bracket to a vertical disturbance mechanism, which drives the cleaning basket to move up and down. Simultaneously, ball bearings are installed between the bracket and the bottom of the cleaning basket to form a rolling engagement. A horizontal disturbance mechanism is then added. When the cleaning basket enters the tank, a push plate and a buffer plate engage from the side corners, forming a rectangular clamping frame to fix the cleaning basket in place. A linear actuator then pushes the push plate, causing the cleaning basket to slide horizontally along the ball bearings. After resetting, the buffer plate, under the action of an elastic reset element, pushes the cleaning basket to slide in the opposite direction, achieving stable horizontal reciprocating disturbance. The synergistic effect of vertical and horizontal disturbances allows the cleaning basket to simultaneously rise, fall, and slide horizontally within the tank, forming a multi-dimensional composite motion. This effectively enhances the scouring effect of ultrasonic cavitation on the workpiece surface and within blind and deep holes, improving cleaning uniformity.

[0017] 2. This invention designs both the push plate and the buffer plate as strip-shaped structures with their lower ends extending downwards into the lower half of the cleaning basket. This allows the push plate and buffer plate to deeply insert into the lower half of the cleaning basket's corners when engaged, providing more stable clamping and positioning and avoiding wobbling or displacement caused by only acting on the upper half. Simultaneously, the horizontal pushing force acts directly on the lower half of the cleaning basket, ensuring the pushing force is evenly distributed throughout the entire basket, reducing overturning moments caused by a high point of force application, and ensuring smooth and stable horizontal sliding. When the push plate pushes the cleaning basket horizontally, the basket presses against the buffer plate, and the guide rod, fixedly connected to the buffer plate, slides synchronously along the guide holes on the guide plate, providing precise guiding constraints. When the push plate moves in the opposite direction, the compressed spring pushes the buffer plate back to its initial position, resetting the cleaning basket. This reciprocating motion achieves horizontal disturbance.

[0018] 3. This invention sets up a limiting channel composed of two limiting side plates, so that the left and right edges of the cleaning basket are exactly inside the limiting channel. The limiting side plates constrain the cleaning basket from the left and right sides, restricting its displacement in the left and right directions, while allowing it to slide freely in the front and back directions. Thus, during horizontal disturbance, it ensures that the cleaning basket slides back and forth in the set direction without deviation or jamming, providing a stable positioning and guiding foundation for cleaning operations.

[0035] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] See Figures 1 to 10 , Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, a fully automatic twelve-tank ultrasonic cleaning machine with active disturbance of cleaning baskets includes a frame 1 and a loading platform 2 and a unloading platform 3 disposed at both ends of the frame 1. A rotary platform 4 is provided between the loading platform 2 and the unloading platform 3. The frame 1 has four cleaning tanks 11, three rinsing tanks 12, and five drying tanks 13 arranged sequentially along its length. A robotic arm 6 for moving the cleaning baskets 5 between the tanks is provided along the length of the frame 1. The robotic arm 6 has a lifting frame 61, and the lifting frame 61 has two horizontally opposite support arms 62. The lower end of the support arms 62 has an outwardly extending flange 621 for hooking the crossbeam at the top of the cleaning baskets 5. Each cleaning tank 11 and rinsing tank 12 is provided with a vertically movable bracket 7, and the bracket 7 is arrayed with a plurality of ball bearings 731 that roll with the bottom of the cleaning baskets 5. Each support arm 62 is equipped with a vertically movable sliding frame 63, and each sliding frame 63 is equipped with a horizontal disturbance mechanism 8. The horizontal disturbance mechanism 8 includes a push plate 81 and a buffer plate 82, which are arranged opposite each other in the front and rear directions, respectively, on the front and rear sides of the sliding frame 63. The sliding frame 63 is equipped with a linear actuator 811 connected to the push plate 81 for pushing the washing basket 5 to move in the front and rear directions. The sliding frame 63 is equipped with an elastic reset member 821 connected to the buffer plate 82 for pushing the washing basket 5 to reset when the push plate 81 resets.

[0037] The process flow of the twelve-tank ultrasonic cleaning machine is as follows: manual feeding, ultrasonic coarse washing with detergent, ultrasonic coarse washing with detergent, ultrasonic fine washing with detergent, ultrasonic fine washing with detergent, ultrasonic rinsing with pure water, bubbling rinsing with pure water, ultrasonic rinsing with pure water, centrifugal drying, circulating hot air drying, circulating hot air drying, vacuum drying, vacuum drying, and manual unloading.

[0038] The twelve-tank ultrasonic cleaner has a preset cleaning cycle of approximately 5 minutes per basket, which is continuously adjustable from 5 minutes to 60 minutes.

[0039] An ultrasonic generator 111 is provided in both the cleaning tank 11 and the rinsing tank 12 which uses ultrasonic rinsing, and a bubbling device is provided in the pure water bubbling rinsing tank 12.

[0040] The top of the frame 1 is provided with a guide rail 611 along the transport direction, and a hanger 612 is slidably provided on the guide rail 611. The hanger 612 is provided with a first lifting driver 613 that is connected to the lifting frame 61 in a transmission manner.

[0041] The lifting frame 61 is provided with clamping drivers 622 on both sides, which are connected to the corresponding support arms 62.

[0042] The cleaning basket 5 consists of a basket frame 51 and a perforated mesh groove 52.

[0043] Cleaning process: First, the operator loads the workpieces to be cleaned into the cleaning basket 5, which is then placed within the perforated mesh groove 52. Next, the operator manually places the cleaning basket 5, now filled with workpieces, onto the loading platform 2. The robotic arm 6 descends from the loading platform 2, and the flange 621 at the end of the support arm 62 hooks onto the crossbeam at the top of the cleaning basket 5. The lifting frame 61 rises, lifting the cleaning basket 5 and moving it along the guide rail 611 towards the first cleaning tank 11.

[0044] The robotic arm 6 places the cleaning basket 5 into the first section of the ultrasonic coarse cleaning tank. The bottom of the cleaning basket 5 contacts the bracket 7 inside the tank, and the ball bearings 731 on the bracket 7 form a rolling engagement with the bottom of the cleaning basket 5. The bracket 7 begins to move up and down, causing the cleaning basket 5 to rise and fall synchronously in the vertical direction. At the same time, during the compound disturbance process, the second lifting driver 623 drives the sliding frame 63 to move synchronously with the vertical disturbance mechanism 74 of the bracket 7, so that the push plate 81 and the buffer plate 82 clamp the cleaning basket 5 through the clamping edge 812 and rise and fall vertically together with the cleaning basket 5. The clamping edge 812 and the cleaning basket 5 remain relatively stationary in the vertical direction, and only slide relative to each other in the front and back direction driven by the linear driver 811, thereby avoiding interference between the vertical lifting and the horizontal clamping.

[0045] The sliding frame 63 on the support arm 62 begins to move, causing the push plate 81 and the buffer plate 82 to move downwards and respectively conform to the corresponding side walls of the cleaning basket 5. Then, the linear actuator 811 pushes the push plate 81 forward, pushing the cleaning basket 5 to slide along the ball bearing 731 in the front-to-back direction. After the linear actuator 811 resets, the buffer plate 82, under the action of the elastic reset member 821, pushes the cleaning basket 5 to slide in the opposite direction. This process is repeated, causing the cleaning basket 5 to simultaneously perform horizontal reciprocating motion and vertical up-and-down motion within the tank.

[0046] Under the combined action of vertical movement and horizontal disturbance, the ultrasonic generator 111 inside the tank is activated. The ultrasonic waves generate a cavitation effect in the cleaning fluid, which creates a powerful scouring effect on the surface of the workpiece and in blind holes and deep holes, effectively removing dirt. After cleaning is completed, the robot arm 6 lifts the cleaning basket 5 and moves it horizontally to the second ultrasonic coarse cleaning tank, repeating the above process of placement, vertical movement of the bracket 7, horizontal disturbance, ultrasonic cleaning, and lifting.

[0047] Next, the robotic arm 6 sequentially feeds the cleaning basket 5 into the third and fourth ultrasonic cleaning tanks. In these two tanks, the cleaning basket 5, under the combined disturbance of the up-and-down movement and horizontal reciprocating motion of the bracket 7, works in conjunction with the ultrasonic waves to remove residual dirt with higher precision, further improving the cleanliness of the workpiece.

[0048] After completing the four-stage detergent cleaning, the robotic arm 6 lifts the cleaning basket 5 and moves it horizontally to the fifth-stage pure water ultrasonic rinsing tank 12. Once the cleaning basket 5 is placed in, the support 7 moves up and down, causing the basket to rise and fall. Simultaneously, the push plate 81 and buffer plate 82 drive the basket 5 in horizontal reciprocating motion, working in conjunction with ultrasonic waves to rinse and remove detergent residue from the workpiece surface and blind holes. Next, the robotic arm 6 lifts the cleaning basket 5 and sends it into the sixth-stage pure water bubbling rinsing tank 12. In this tank, the cleaning basket 5 undergoes a combined disturbance from the up-and-down movement of the support 7 and the horizontal reciprocating motion. Simultaneously, the bubbling device at the bottom of the tank generates bubbles, which, as they rise, disturb the cleaning fluid, further enhancing the rinsing effect. Then, the robotic arm 6 lifts the cleaning basket 5 and sends it into the seventh-stage pure water ultrasonic rinsing tank 12, where the support 7 again moves up and down, causing horizontal disturbance, and finally, ultrasonic waves are used for a final rinsing to thoroughly remove all residual substances.

[0049] After rinsing, the robotic arm 6 lifts the cleaning basket 5 and transfers it to the eighth-stage centrifugal drying tank. Once the cleaning basket 5 is placed inside, the centrifugal mechanism rotates at high speed, using centrifugal force to remove most of the moisture from the workpiece surface and blind holes. Subsequently, the robotic arm 6 lifts the cleaning basket 5 and sequentially sends it to the ninth and tenth-stage circulating hot air drying tanks 13. In these two tanks, the hot air circulation system continuously blows hot air, accelerating the evaporation of moisture from the workpiece surface. Finally, the robotic arm 6 lifts the cleaning basket 5 and sequentially sends it to the eleventh and twelfth-stage vacuum drying tanks 13. Under vacuum conditions, the boiling point of water decreases, and residual moisture is further evaporated and removed, allowing the workpiece to reach a completely dry state.

[0050] Throughout the process, the robotic arm 6, in coordination with the lifting frame 61 and the support arm 62, sequentially moves the cleaning basket 5 between the various tanks, advancing it from the first cleaning tank 11 to the twelfth drying tank 13. Finally, the robotic arm 6 moves the cleaning basket 5 to the unloading platform 3, where the cleaned and dried workpieces are manually removed. The empty basket automatically returns from the loading platform 2 via the automatic rotary loading platform 4, returning to the loading point to await the next loading cycle, completing the entire twelve-tank cleaning process.

[0051] See Figure 11 As shown, the edges of the push plate 81 and the buffer plate 82 are provided with locking edges 812. The two push plates 81 and the two buffer plates 82 together form a rectangular clamping frame for clamping the cleaning basket 5.

[0052] After the robotic arm 6 places the cleaning basket 5 into the slot, the bottom of the cleaning basket 5 first contacts the bracket 7. The ball bearings 731 on the bracket 7 form a rolling engagement with the bottom of the cleaning basket 5, and the bracket 7 supports and stabilizes the cleaning basket 5. Subsequently, the sliding frame 63 begins to move downward, driving the push plate 81 and the buffer plate 82 to descend synchronously. Since the push plate 81 and the buffer plate 82 are both equipped with retaining edges 812, when the sliding frame 63 descends to its position, the two push plates 81 and the two buffer plates 82 retain the cleaning basket 5 from the corners on both sides. The four retaining edges 812 together embed and fix the four corners of the cleaning basket 5, forming a rectangular clamping frame that surrounds the entire cleaning basket 5 within the clamping range.

[0053] After clamping and positioning are completed, the push plate 81 and buffer plate 82 begin to move. The linear actuator 811 pushes the push plate 81 forward, and the push plate 81 pushes the cleaning basket 5 to slide along the ball bearing 731 in the front-to-back direction. After the linear actuator 811 resets, the buffer plate 82, under the action of the elastic reset member 821, pushes the cleaning basket 5 to slide in the opposite direction. The cleaning basket 5, constrained by the clamping edge 812 and the rectangular clamping frame, moves stably back and forth in the horizontal direction. The entire process achieves reliable positioning of the cleaning basket 5 on the bracket 7 and precise driving of horizontal disturbance. At the same time, the bracket 7 can move up and down synchronously, forming a compound motion with the horizontal disturbance, ensuring that the cleaning basket 5 is subjected to all-round disturbance in the tank, thereby enhancing the cleaning and rinsing effect.

[0054] See Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the sliding frame 63 includes a first sliding plate 631, and two vertical sliding grooves are symmetrically provided on the support arm 62. The first sliding plate 631 is provided with a sliding part 6311 that slides in cooperation with the vertical sliding groove. The end of the first sliding plate 631 is provided with a guide plate 6312 corresponding to the buffer plate 82. The elastic reset member 821 is a compression spring fixedly connected between the buffer plate 82 and the guide plate 6312.

[0055] Each of the support arms 62 is provided with a second lifting driver 623 that is connected to the first sliding plate 631 in a transmission manner.

[0056] When the second lifting actuator 623 is activated, it drives the first sliding plate 631 to slide up and down along the vertical groove on the support arm 62. The sliding part 6311 cooperates with the vertical groove to ensure the stability of the vertical lifting of the first sliding plate 631. When the first sliding plate 631 moves down, the buffer plate 82 moves down with the first sliding plate 631 and gets into the corner of the cleaning basket 5. At this time, the compression spring is compressed, and the elastic force makes the buffer plate 82 fit tightly against the corner of the cleaning basket 5, forming a stable initial positioning.

[0057] After the first slide plate 631 moves into place, the buffer plate 82 snaps into and fits tightly against the corners of the cleaning basket 5.

[0058] When the first slide plate 631 moves upward, the buffer plate 82 moves upward and detaches from the cleaning basket 5. This ensures that the buffer plate 82 rises and falls synchronously with the first slide plate 631, and also keeps it in close contact with the cleaning basket 5 at the disturbance position, providing a reliable initial positioning for the pusher plate 81 to push.

[0059] See Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the sliding frame 63 also includes a second sliding plate 632. The second sliding plate 632 has a strip groove and is fitted onto two sliding parts 6311. The push plate 81 is fixedly connected to one end of the second sliding plate 632. The sliding part 6311 is provided with a limiting baffle 6321 located outside the second sliding plate 632. The linear driver 811 is mounted on the limiting baffle 6321 and is connected to the second sliding plate 632 in a transmission connection.

[0060] When the first slide plate 631 moves up and down, the second slide plate 632 moves up and down accordingly, maintaining the alignment of the push plate 81 and the buffer plate 82 in the height direction. When the linear actuator 811 is activated, it pushes the second slide plate 632 to slide horizontally along the mating direction of the slot and the sliding part 6311. Since the slot is fitted onto the sliding part 6311, the second slide plate 632 is guided and constrained by the sliding part 6311 during the sliding process, ensuring smooth and accurate movement. At the same time, the limiting baffle 6321 on the outside of the sliding part 6311 provides a fixed mounting point for the linear actuator 811 and restricts the second slide plate 632, preventing it from detaching from the sliding part 6311. The push plate 81 moves synchronously with the second slide plate 632, realizing precise driving of the push plate 81 in the horizontal direction, thereby pushing the cleaning basket 5 to slide on the ball bearing 731, completing the horizontal disturbance action.

[0061] See Figures 10 to 13 As shown, both the push plate 81 and the buffer plate 82 are strip-shaped structures, and the lower ends of both the push plate 81 and the buffer plate 82 extend vertically downward to the lower half of the washing basket 5.

[0062] When the first slide plate 631 moves the buffer plate 82 up and down, the buffer plate 82, due to its strip-like structure and downward extension at the lower end, can be deeply inserted into the lower half of the corner of the washing basket 5, thereby providing a more stable and reliable clamping position when it is engaged, avoiding the shaking or displacement that may be caused by only acting on the upper half.

[0063] Meanwhile, the push plate 81 also has a strip-like structure and extends to the lower half of the cleaning basket 5, so that the horizontal pushing force is directly applied to the lower half of the cleaning basket 5. This makes the pushing force more evenly distributed to the entire cleaning basket 5, reducing the overturning moment caused by the high point of force. This ensures that the horizontal sliding of the cleaning basket 5 on the ball bearing 731 is more stable and smooth, so that both the vertical lifting and horizontal disturbance can effectively act on the cleaning basket 5, and work together to achieve full disturbance of the cleaning basket 5, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0064] See Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the lower inner sides of both the push plate 81 and the buffer plate 82 are provided with chamfered edges to form guide surfaces to avoid interference with the cleaning basket 5 when inserted downwards.

[0065] As the push plate 81 and buffer plate 82 move downwards, the chamfered edges on their lower inner sides first contact the corners of the cleaning basket 5. Because the chamfered edges form an inclined guide surface, as the push plate 81 or buffer plate 82 continues to insert downwards, this guide surface smoothly conforms to the outer contour of the corners of the cleaning basket 5, automatically correcting minor alignment deviations. This prevents the lower ends of the plates from directly impacting or scratching the frame of the cleaning basket 5, effectively preventing jamming or interference. As the downward movement continues, the chamfered edges guide the lower ends of the push plate 81 or buffer plate 82 to smoothly slide into the lower half of the corner area of ​​the cleaning basket 5, completing the positioning and insertion action required for stable clamping, ensuring a smooth downward insertion process.

[0066] See Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the guide plate 6312 has multiple guide holes, and a guide rod 822 fixedly connected to the buffer plate 82 passes through each guide hole. A compression spring is sleeved on each guide rod 822, and the two ends of the compression spring abut against the buffer plate 82 and the guide plate 6312 respectively.

[0067] When the push plate 81 pushes the washing basket 5 horizontally, the washing basket 5 will squeeze the buffer plate 82 during the movement, thus subjecting the buffer plate 82 to force. At this time, the guide rod 822, which is fixedly connected to the buffer plate 82, will slide synchronously along the guide hole on the guide plate 6312, providing precise guiding constraints for the movement of the buffer plate 82, ensuring that it moves smoothly in the set direction after being subjected to force, without deflection or jamming. When the buffer plate 82 moves backward under force, the compression spring is compressed. When the push plate 81 moves in the opposite direction, the elastic force of the compression spring pushes the buffer plate 82 back to the initial position, causing the washing basket 5 to reset. Through this reciprocating action, the horizontal disturbance of the washing basket 5 is achieved.

[0068] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the bracket 7 is provided with limiting side plates 71 on its left and right sides respectively, and a limiting channel is formed between the two limiting side plates 71 to guide the washing basket 5 to slide in the front and back direction.

[0069] When the cleaning basket 5 is placed on the bracket 7, the left and right edges of the cleaning basket 5 just enter the limiting channel. The two limiting side plates 71 limit the cleaning basket 5 from the left and right sides respectively, restricting its displacement in the left and right directions, while allowing the cleaning basket 5 to slide freely in the front and back directions. This ensures that during horizontal disturbance, the cleaning basket 5 can only slide back and forth in the front and back directions within the limiting channel, without any left or right deviation or jamming. This ensures that the movement trajectory of the cleaning basket 5 is stable and the direction is accurate, providing a reliable positioning and guiding basis for subsequent cleaning operations.

[0070] See Figure 4 and Figure 15 As shown, the bracket 7 is composed of a vertical plate 72 and a horizontal plate 73. The horizontal plate 73 is located at the lower end of the vertical plate 72. The frame 1 is provided with a vertical disturbance mechanism 74 that is connected to the vertical plate 72 in a transmission manner. The vertical disturbance mechanism 74 and the horizontal disturbance mechanism 8 together constitute a composite disturbance structure.

[0071] When the vertical disturbance mechanism 74 is activated, its output end is connected to the vertical plate 72, driving the vertical plate 72 and the horizontal plate 73 fixed at its lower end to reciprocate vertically. The cleaning basket 5 on the horizontal plate 73 moves up and down accordingly, achieving vertical disturbance. Simultaneously, the horizontal disturbance mechanism 8 pushes the cleaning basket 5 along the limiting channel via the push plate 81, causing it to slide back and forth. The vertical disturbance mechanism 74 and the horizontal disturbance mechanism 8 work together to form a composite disturbance structure, enabling the cleaning basket 5 to achieve a multi-dimensional composite disturbance effect through the combined effects of vertical lifting and horizontal sliding, thereby effectively improving the cleaning uniformity and efficiency of the material within the cleaning basket 5.

[0072] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the outer surface of the support arm 62 is a vertical plane, which slides in conjunction with the inner side wall of the top crossbeam of the washing basket 5 to provide guidance for the up and down movement of the washing basket 5.

[0073] When the cleaning basket 5 moves vertically up and down under the drive of the vertical disturbance mechanism 74, the outer surface of the support arm 62, acting as a vertical plane, forms a sliding fit with the inner wall of the top beam of the cleaning basket 5. The inner wall of the top beam of the cleaning basket 5 always adheres to the vertical plane of the support arm 62 and slides back and forth vertically along this plane. Because the vertical plane of the support arm 62 is a flat and smooth guide surface, the inner wall of the beam fits tightly with it, restricting the cleaning basket 5 to the vertical direction during its up and down movement, preventing any deviation in the front-back or left-right directions. This surface contact sliding fit constrains the movement of the cleaning basket 5 to the vertical direction, providing guidance for its up and down movement, ensuring that the cleaning basket 5 maintains a stable and precise movement trajectory during vertical lifting, thereby coordinating with the horizontal disturbance mechanism 8 to achieve the coordinated operation of the composite disturbance.

[0074] This invention connects the bracket 7 to the vertical disturbance mechanism 74, causing it to drive the cleaning basket 5 to move up and down. Simultaneously, ball bearings 731 are installed between the bracket 7 and the bottom of the cleaning basket 5 to form a rolling engagement. A horizontal disturbance mechanism 8 is then provided, with a push plate 81 and a buffer plate 82 engaging from both sides to form a rectangular clamping frame for fixed positioning. Both the push plate 81 and the buffer plate 82 are designed as strips with their lower ends extending into the lower half of the cleaning basket 5, allowing for deep insertion into the lower half during engagement to provide stable clamping and prevent wobbling or displacement. Simultaneously, the horizontal thrust acts directly on the lower half, reducing overturning moment and ensuring smooth and stable horizontal sliding.

[0075] When the push plate 81 pushes the cleaning basket 5, the cleaning basket 5 presses against the buffer plate 82, and the guide rod 822 slides along the guide hole to provide precise guidance. After the push plate 81 moves in the opposite direction, it compresses the spring and pushes the buffer plate 82 to reset, realizing reciprocating horizontal disturbance. In addition, the limiting channel formed by the two limiting side plates 71 constrains the left and right sides of the cleaning basket 5, limiting lateral displacement while allowing forward and backward sliding, ensuring that the horizontal disturbance is stable along the set direction. The vertical disturbance and the horizontal disturbance work together to make the cleaning basket 5 rise and fall and slide horizontally at the same time, forming a multi-dimensional composite motion, which effectively enhances the ultrasonic cavitation effect and improves cleaning uniformity and efficiency.

[0076] The above embodiments only illustrate one or more implementations of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
