Description
Technical Field

[0002] Ultrasonic dewatering equipment is a mechanical device used to remove waste from die castings. With the development of the automation industry, it has become more and more popular among enterprises in recent years. For example, the Chinese invention patent application with application number 202310059087.9 discloses an invention called an ultrasonic automatic dewatering device. The device has the advantages of automated operation and can solve the problem of low labor efficiency, but the defect is that its ultrasonic vibrator is small in size and is top-mounted (that is, the ultrasonic vibrator is located above the working plate). In this way, when working, the workpiece will first enter the fixture plate below. The fixture plate needs to be pre-set with a groove that matches the shape of the workpiece to position the workpiece, and then the ultrasonic vibrator can descend to vibrate the workpiece to separate the product from the waste from the water outlet. This top-mounted type has strict requirements on the positioning of the workpiece. The workpiece must be located directly below the ultrasonic vibrator, and the vibrating part is on the top, which makes the machine head very bulky. If the ultrasonic vibrator can be placed below the working plate so that the workpiece enters the vibrator first, the problem of difficult positioning can be better solved. Utility Model Content
