DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0025] The present invention involves directional indications (such as up, down, etc.), relative to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 For example, upward on the horizontal paper is “up” and downward on the horizontal paper is “down”. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0026] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a cleaning device for vacuum cup processing, comprising a frame 1, a rotary drive source 31 and a rotary disk 32, Figure 6 As shown, preferably, the rotation drive source 31 includes a motor 311, a reducer 312 connected to the motor 311, a motor base 313 provided on the frame 1, and an output sprocket 314 connected to the reducer 312. Figure 5As shown, the frame 1 is provided with a main bearing seat 34, a main bearing disposed in the main bearing seat 34, a main shaft 35 disposed in the main bearing, and an input sprocket 33 that is transmission-connected to the output shaft of the rotary drive source 31. One end of the main shaft 35 is transmission-connected to the input sprocket 33, and the other end is transmission-connected to the rotary disk 32. The output sprocket 314 is connected to the input sprocket 33 via a transmission chain. Considering that the sprocket drive places too much load on the main bearing seat 34, the main bearing, and the main shaft 35, and that the cleaning fluid may corrode the transmission mechanism during the cleaning process, it is more preferred that the frame 1 further be provided with a secondary bearing seat 36 and a secondary bearing disposed in the secondary bearing seat 36. The secondary bearing seat 36 is disposed on the frame 1 between the main bearing seat 34 and the input sprocket 33, and the main shaft 35 is disposed in the secondary bearing. The secondary bearing seat 36 and the secondary bearing bear part of the load of the main bearing seat 34, the main bearing, and the main shaft 35, while preventing corrosion of the main bearing seat 34, the main bearing, and the rotary drive source 31. The rack 1 is provided with a cup loosening assembly 4 and an ultrasonic cleaning tank 2, preferably, combined with Figure 4 As shown, the cup release assembly 4 includes a drive cylinder 41 fixed to the frame 1 and a lift plate 44 driven by the drive cylinder 41 to rise or fall. The ultrasonic cleaning tank 2 includes a tank body, an ultrasonic generator, and an ultrasonic transducer connected to the ultrasonic generator. The ultrasonic transducer is attached to the tank wall of the tank body. The rotating disk 32 is located in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 2 and is driven to rotate intermittently by the rotary drive source 31. The rotating disk 32 is provided with at least two cup placement assemblies 5, which are combined with the ultrasonic cleaning tank 2 to form a plurality of cup placement assemblies. Figure 3 As shown, each cup placement assembly 5 includes a base plate 51, an upper pressure plate 52, a guide top plate 53, a guide shaft 54 ​​and a tension spring 55. The base plate 51 is fixed on the rotating disk 32. A cup mouth fixing mold 56 is provided on the base plate 51. Cleaning holes 57 are provided on the cup mouth fixing mold 56 and the base plate 51 respectively. Preferably, the cup mouth fixing mold 56 is a cup mouth clamp provided on the base plate 51. The cup mouth clamp is in an inwardly concave polygonal shape. The cleaning liquid in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 2 enters the thermos cup 6 from the cleaning hole 57, which facilitates the cleaning of the thermos cup 6. At the same time, before the cleaned thermos cup 5 is taken out, the cleaning liquid in the inverted thermos cup 5 is discharged from the cleaning hole 57. Preferably, a cleaning hole 57 is provided in the concave polygonal recess of the bottom plate 51 to facilitate cleaning of the inside of the thermos cup 6 and rapid discharge of the cleaning liquid in the thermos cup 5 from the cleaning hole 57. The guide shaft 54 ​​is inserted into the upper pressure plate 52, with one end fixed to the guide top plate 53 and the other end fixed to the bottom plate 51. Preferably, a guide shaft seat 59 is provided on the upper pressure plate 52, and a linear bearing is provided in the guide shaft seat 59. The guide shaft 54 ​​is arranged in the linear bearing so as to be movable up and down. One end of the tension spring 55 is fixed to the upper pressure plate 52 and the other end is fixed to the bottom plate 51. The lifting plate 44 is provided below the upper pressure plate 52. When the rotating disk rotates, the upper surface of the lifting plate 44 maintains a distance from the lower surface of the upper pressure plate 52. Preferably, at least two tension springs 55 are provided and are evenly distributed around the guide shaft 54.

[0027] It should be noted that the number of cup placement components 5 on the rotating disk 32 and the rotation speed of the rotating disk 32 directly affect the immersion cleaning time of the thermos cup 6 on the cup placement component 5 in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 2. The more cup placement components 5 are set and the slower the rotation speed of the rotating disk 32, the more time the thermos cup 6 on the cup placement component 5 is immersed in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 2 for cleaning, and thus the cleaning is cleaner.

[0028] The upper pressing plate 52 of the cup placing assembly 5 is moved upwards to move the cup 6 to the upper surface of the cup 6. The upper pressing plate 52 of the cup placing assembly 5 is moved upwards to move the cup 6 to the lower surface of the cup 6. The upper pressing plate 52 of the cup placing assembly 5 is moved upwards to move the cup 6 to the lower surface of the cup 6. The upper pressing plate 52 of the cup placing assembly 5 is moved upwards to move the cup 6 to the lower surface of the cup 6. The upper pressing plate 52 of the cup placing assembly 5 is moved upwards to move the cup 6 to the lower surface of the cup 6. The upper pressing plate 52 of the cup placing assembly 5 is moved upwards to move the cup 6 to the lower surface of the cup 6. The upper pressing plate 52 of the cup placing assembly 5 is moved upwards to move the cup 6 to the lower surface of the cup 6. The upper pressing plate 52 of the cup placing assembly 5 is moved upwards to move the cup 6 to the lower surface of the cup 6. The upper pressing plate 52 of the cup placing assembly 5 is moved upwards to move the cup 6 to the lower surface of the cup 6. The thermos cup 6 of the embodiment of the present invention is not easy to fall off during the cleaning process, and ensures that each thermos cup 6 has sufficient time to be soaked and cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the thermos cup 6, replacing the original equipment that cannot use robots to pick up and put materials, reducing the number of manual workstations that are prone to injury, and ensuring safe production operations while improving operating efficiency.

[0029] As a further preferred embodiment, the cup release assembly 4 also includes a connecting plate 42, a connecting rod 43 and a lifting plate 44. The cylinder body of the driving cylinder 41 is fixed on the frame 1 and the telescopic rod is facing upward. The end of the telescopic rod is connected to one end of the connecting plate 42, the other end of the connecting plate 42 is connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 43, the lower end of the connecting rod 43 is connected to one end of the lifting plate 44, and the other end of the lifting plate 44 is arranged below the upper pressure plate 52.

[0030] As a further preferred embodiment, a cup bottom fixing mold 58 is provided under the upper pressure plate 52. Preferably, the cup bottom fixing mold 58 includes at least three cup bottom fixing columns evenly distributed under the upper pressure plate 52. The bottom of the thermos cup 6 is clamped by the cup bottom fixing mold 58, so that the thermos cup 6 is not easy to fall during the cleaning process.

[0031] The above description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore, it should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
