[0037] The water circulation system in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 4 includes a third water supply pipe 42, a third filter tank 43 and a third water pump 44. After the water is sprayed out from the third water supply pipe 42, it enters the ultrasonic cleaning tank 4. The third filter tank 43 and the third water pump 44 are located on one side of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 4. The bottom plate of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 4 slopes towards the third filter tank 43 and is provided with drain holes communicating with the third filter tank 43. The water in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 4 enters the third filter tank 43 with filter bags placed therein through the drain holes, is then connected to the third water pump 44 through a pipeline, and is pumped by the third water pump 44 to the third water supply pipe 42 for recycling.
[0038] The water circulation system in the surge cleaning tank 5 includes a fourth water supply pipe 52, a fourth filter tank 53 and a fourth water pump 54. After the water is sprayed out from the fourth water supply pipe 52, it enters the surge cleaning tank 5. The fourth filter tank 53 and the fourth water pump 54 are located on one side of the surge cleaning tank 5. The bottom plate of the surge cleaning tank 5 slopes towards the fourth filter tank 53 and is provided with drain holes communicating with the fourth filter tank 53. The water in the surge cleaning tank 5 enters the fourth filter tank 53 with filter bags placed therein through the drain holes, is then connected to the fourth water pump 54 through a pipeline, and is pumped by the fourth water pump 54 to the fourth water supply pipe 52 for recycling.
[0039] The air cleaning tank 6 only needs to drain water. A fifth filter tank 63 is provided on one side of the air cleaning tank 6, and filter bags are also placed in the fifth filter tank 63. However, the filtered water is no longer used but is discharged after environmental protection treatment.
[0040] In this embodiment, the liquid levels in the first spray washing tank 2 and the second spray washing tank 3 can be the same, as long as it is ensured that the liquid surface is below the workpiece; for the ultrasonic cleaning tank 4 and the surge cleaning tank 5, it is necessary to ensure that the workpiece is below the liquid surface, and the conveyor belt 1 extends horizontally. Therefore, the liquid levels in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 4 and the surge cleaning tank 5 are higher than those in the first spray washing tank 2 and the second spray washing tank 3; the air cleaning tank 6 only needs to drain the blown-off water. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the mutual circulation of water in each sub-tank through the conveyor belt 1. To solve the above problems, a gate 7 for the workpiece to pass through is provided between each sub-tank, and a pair of water-blocking rollers 71 that open and close up and down are installed on the gate 7. The upper water-blocking roller 71 is elastically installed at the top of the gate 7, and the lower water-blocking roller 71 is elastically installed at the bottom of the gate 7. When the workpiece passes through the gate 7 along with the conveyor belt 1, the front end of the workpiece will push the two water-blocking rollers 71 to roll and open up and down. After the workpiece passes through the gate 7, the two water-blocking rollers 71 reset and close the gate 7 again.
[0041] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
