And the "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, under reasonable circumstances (without self-contradiction), both include direct and indirect connection (coupling).

[0028] First Embodiment:

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, the integrated cleaning system of this embodiment includes a tray 10, a conveying line body 20 for conveying the tray 10, two cleaning units 30 respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying line body 20, and a handling device 40 for transferring the tray 10 between the conveying line body 20 and the cleaning units 30; both of the two cleaning units 30 include a rotating module 31 for rotating the tray 10 and blowing components 32 respectively arranged on both sides of the rotating module 31; the rotating module 31 includes a rectangular frame 311, a rotating drive unit 312 arranged at one end of the rectangular frame 311, a rotating support unit 313 arranged at the other end of the rectangular frame 311, and a plurality of clamping devices 314 arranged on the side of the rectangular frame 311 for clamping the tray 10.

[0030] Since electronic products have various shapes, the tray 10 is used to uniformly position them so that the electronic products can be conveniently transferred between the conveying line body 20 and the cleaning units 30.

[0031] The conveying line body 20 can be an existing roller conveying line, belt conveying line, etc.

[0032] The handling device 40 can be realized by a manipulator and installing an existing clamping mechanism for clamping the tray 10 at the end of the manipulator.

[0033] The rotating drive unit 312 can be realized by existing technologies such as a motor 3123; the rotating support unit 313 can be realized by existing technologies such as a bearing seat 3125; as Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, the rotating drive unit 312 includes a first bracket 3121, a reducer 3122 installed on the first bracket 3121, and a motor 3123 installed at the input end of the reducer 3122; one end of the rectangular frame 311 is fixedly connected to the output end of the reducer 3122; the rotating support unit 313 includes a second bracket 3124 and a bearing seat 3125 installed on the second bracket 3124, and the other end of the rectangular frame 311 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing seat 3125; it can be understood that the center of the bearing seat 3125 is flush with the center of the reducer 3122. The first bracket 3121 and the second bracket 3124 raise the rectangular frame 311 to facilitate sufficient space for the rectangular frame 311 to rotate 360°, so that both the front and back sides of the electronic product can be blown.

[0034] The clamping device 314 can be implemented by the clamping devices commonly used in machining fixtures.

[0035] The working process of the integrated cleaning system in this embodiment is as follows: The conveyor line body 20 transfers the tray 10 with the electronic product to be cleaned installed thereon to a position directly opposite the cleaning unit 30, and then the handling device 40 transports the tray 10 on the conveyor line body 20 to one of the cleaning units 30 for cleaning. Next, the conveyor line body 20 transfers the next tray 10 to a position directly opposite the cleaning unit 30, and the handling device 40 transports the tray 10 on the conveyor line body 20 to another cleaning unit 30 for cleaning. After the cleaning is completed, the handling device 40 transports the tray 10 that has been cleaned to the conveyor line body 20 for transportation away. Since the cleaning units 30 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor line body 20, two trays 10 can be cleaned simultaneously to improve the efficiency.

[0036] The working process of the cleaning unit 30 in the integrated cleaning system of this embodiment is as follows: The tray 10 is placed on the rectangular frame 311, and multiple clamping devices 314 act to fix the tray 10 on the rectangular frame 311. The rotation drive unit 312 drives the rectangular frame 311 and the tray 10 to rotate, and at the same time, the air blowing assembly 32 blows air towards the tray 10. Since the rectangular frame 311 is hollow, the tray 10 and the electronic product are exposed. At the same time, since the tray 10 can rotate, the front and back sides of the electronic product can be cleaned, greatly reducing the risk of foreign matter residue. It can be understood that the tray 10 can also be made hollow to expose as many electronic products on the tray 10 as possible.

[0037] Second Embodiment:

[0038] In this embodiment, except for the air blowing assembly 32, the rest of the structures can adopt the same or substantially the same structures as those in the first embodiment. As Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, the air blowing assembly 32 can include an air blowing module 321 that blows air towards the electronic product and a linear drive unit 322 that drives the air blowing module 321 to reciprocate; the air blowing module 321 can be an existing technology such as an air gun; the linear drive unit 322 can be an existing technology mechanism that drives a load to move linearly, such as a single-axis robotic arm, a rack and pinion mechanism, etc.; in this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the linear drive unit 322 includes a belt drive mechanism and a linear guide rail. The linear guide rail is fixed to the tabletop, and the air blowing module 321 is respectively fixed to the slider of the linear guide rail and the belt of the belt drive mechanism. The linear guide rail is used to guide the air blowing module 321 so that it can only move along the direction parallel to the rotation axis of the tray 10, and the belt drive mechanism is used to provide the power for the movement of the air blowing module 321. The electronic product and the tray 10 rotate following the rectangular frame 311, and the linear drive unit 322 drives the air blowing module 321 to reciprocate, so as to cover a wider area and clean more thoroughly.

[0039] Third Embodiment:

[0040] The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that, as Figure 4 shown, the air blowing module 321 may include an electrostatic eliminator 3211 and a pneumatic spray gun 3212 both fixed to the output end of the linear drive unit 322. The electrostatic eliminator 3211 is used to remove the static electricity between the static foreign objects and the electronic product, and then the foreign objects are blown away by the pneumatic spray gun 3212, so that the cleaning is more thorough. Both the electrostatic eliminator 3211 and the pneumatic spray gun 3212 can adopt existing technologies. For example, the electrostatic eliminator 3211 can adopt the electrostatic eliminator 3211 with the model number IZS40-400JZ-06B; the pneumatic spray gun 3212 can adopt the vibrating air blowing rod of ASU-110.

[0041] Fourth Embodiment:

[0042] The difference between this embodiment and the third embodiment is that, as Figure 4 shown, a plurality of pneumatic spray guns 3212 are provided, and the plurality of pneumatic spray guns 3212 are evenly distributed in the vertical direction; thus, a wider area can be covered, so that the air blowing can cover more exposed surfaces of the electronic product, and the cleaning is more thorough and the effect is better.

[0043] Fifth Embodiment:

[0044] The differences between this embodiment and the second, third, and fourth embodiments are that, as Figure 2 and 4 shown, a plurality of air blowing modules 321 are provided, and the plurality of air blowing modules 321 are evenly distributed along the direction parallel to the rotation axis of the tray 10; thus, the linear drive unit 322 only needs to drive the air blowing module 321 to move the distance between two adjacent air blowing modules 321 to cover the electronic product in the direction of the rotation axis of the tray 10, thereby saving the cleaning time and improving the efficiency.

[0045] Sixth Embodiment:

[0046] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that, as Figure 6As shown in the figure, the conveying line body 20 may include two belt lines 21 arranged in parallel and a lifting unit 22 provided between the two belt lines 21; the lifting unit 22 is used to lift the pallet 10 on the conveying line body 20 away from the conveying line body 20. By lifting the pallet 10 away from the conveying line body 20 by the lifting unit 22, the conveying force applied by the conveying line body 20 to the pallet 10 is avoided from affecting the alignment between the pallet 10 and the handling device 40. The lifting unit 22 can be realized by using an existing lifting mechanism. In this embodiment, the lifting unit 22 may include a bottom plate 221, a lifting cylinder 222 fixed to the bottom plate 221, four guide rods 223 slidably arranged on the bottom plate 221, and a top plate 224 connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 222, and the top plate 224 is connected to the tops of the four guide rods 223; two positioning pins (not shown in the figure) cooperating with the pallet 10 can be provided on the top plate 224; the blocking cylinder provided on the conveying line body 20 blocks the pallet 10 conveyed by the conveying line body 20 to prevent the pallet 10 from flowing into the next process, and then the lifting cylinder 222 is started. Under the guiding action of the four guide rods 223 and the driving force of the lifting cylinder 222, the top plate 224 rises, the positioning pins cooperate with the positioning holes on the pallet 10, and the pallet 10 is lifted away from the conveying line body 20, waiting to be handled by the handling device 40.

[0047] Seventh Embodiment:

[0048] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that, as Figure 1 and 5 shown, the handling device 40 may include a Y-axis robotic arm 41 arranged across the conveying line body 20, a Z-axis robotic arm 42 provided at the output end of the Y-axis robotic arm 41, and a pallet 10 gripper provided at the output end of the Z-axis robotic arm 42; the Z-axis robotic arm 42 is used to drive the pallet 10 gripper to reciprocate vertically; the Y-axis robotic arm 41 is used to drive the Z-axis robotic arm 42 to reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the pallet 10. The pallet 10 gripper can adopt a clamping form or other forms. For example, the pallet 10 gripper can be L-shaped, and two pins are provided on the horizontal plate of the pallet 10 gripper, and two pin holes are provided at the corresponding positions on the pallet 10. After the lifting unit 22 lifts the pallet 10, the Z-axis robotic arm 42 drives the pallet 10 gripper to move downward so that the horizontal plate of the pallet 10 gripper moves below the pallet 10; the Y-axis robotic arm 41 drives the pallet 10 gripper to move directly below the pallet 10 so that the two pins of the pallet 10 gripper are aligned with the pin holes of the pallet 10, and then the Z-axis robotic arm 42 drives the pallet 10 gripper to move upward. The pallet 10 gripper inserts into the pin holes of the pallet 10, and the horizontal plate of the pallet 10 gripper supports the bottom surface of the pallet 10, lifting the pallet 10 upward, away from the lifting unit 22, and finally the Y-axis robotic arm 41 drives the pallet 10 to move to the cleaning unit 30. It can be understood that the pin holes of the pallet 10 corresponding to the pins of the pallet 10 gripper are located more outside the pin holes that cooperate with the positioning pins of the pallet 10 to avoid interference.

[0049] Eighth Embodiment:

[0050] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that, as Figure 1 and 2 shown, the rotation axis of the tray 10 is parallel to the length direction of the tray 10. In this way, the rotation radius of the tray 10 is smaller and the occupied space is smaller.

[0051] Ninth embodiment:

[0052] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that, as Figure 3 shown, a plurality of clamping devices 314 are evenly distributed along the long side of the rectangular frame 311. By providing more clamping devices 314, the tray 10 is firmly fixed on the rectangular frame 311, thereby avoiding the danger of falling off when the tray 10 rotates. It can also be as Figure 3 shown, a plurality of positioning pins can be provided on the rectangular frame 311, and corresponding positioning pin holes are formed on the tray 10. On the one hand, the tray 10 can be positioned; on the other hand, through the cooperation of the positioning pins on the rectangular frame 311 and the positioning pin holes on the tray 10, it can prevent the tray 10 from falling off when rotating.

[0053] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that, as Figure 3 shown, the clamping device 314 may include a pressing block 3141 corresponding to the side of the rectangular frame 311 and a rotary clamping cylinder 3142 for driving the pressing block 3141 to clamp. The pressing block 3141 corresponds to the side of the rectangular frame 311, so that there is support below the clamping point, avoiding deformation of the tray 10 caused by suspended pressing; by using the rotary clamping cylinder 3142, before clamping the tray 10, the rectangular frame 311 has a larger space to receive the tray 10, so that when placing the tray 10, the handling device 40 does not need to add more movements to avoid interference with the clamping device 314, saving handling time. The rotary clamping cylinder 3142 is a prior art, such as a rotary clamping cylinder of model MKB20-10RZ.

[0054] The present utility model is not limited to the above optional embodiments, and anyone can obtain other various forms of products under the inspiration of the present utility model. However, no matter what changes are made in its shape or structure, as long as the technical solutions fall within the scope defined by the claims of the present utility model, they are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
