[0002] In the design of eyeglass cleaning equipment, the drying function is a crucial aspect, directly affecting the user experience and the efficiency of the equipment. Existing eyeglass cleaning equipment's drying function typically relies on a high-volume motor to ensure rapid drying of the glasses. However, this design presents several significant issues:
[0003] 1. The contradiction between wind power and motor size: In order to provide sufficient wind power, the motor must be large enough, which means that the motor needs to be installed in a cabinet, increasing the size and complexity of the equipment.
[0004] 2. Duct resistance problem: A motor with a large air volume needs to guide the wind to the glasses through the air duct, but the resistance of the air duct will significantly affect the air volume, resulting in insufficient wind actually reaching the glasses.
[0005] 3. Structural design issues: In existing equipment, if the distance between the air outlet and the glasses is too close, it will affect the placement of the glasses, while if the distance is too far, the glasses cannot be effectively dried, especially the moisture on the glasses is difficult to completely remove.
[0006] 4. Noise problem: In order to increase the air volume, the motor must run at high speed, which will generate loud noise and affect the user experience.
[0007] 5. Air volume rebound problem: Even if the air volume of the motor is increased, due to the rebound effect of the wind, the actual wind force at the outlet is not as large as expected, resulting in poor drying effect.
[0008] 6. Cost issue: In the existing technology, in order to achieve the drying function, a large motor and a complex air duct system are required, which increases the cost of the equipment and limits its market competitiveness.
[0009] 7. Control cost issues: In order to realize the control function of the equipment, industrial control computers are often used in the existing technology, which not only increases the cost but also increases the complexity of the equipment.
[0010] 8. User experience issues: Existing equipment is complex to operate. Without on-screen guidance, it is difficult for users to understand how to correctly place their glasses, which affects the user experience. The entire cleaning and drying process is relatively isolated for users, lacking in visual and participatory elements, which greatly reduces the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the cleaning host component; Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the glasses clamping and rotating mechanism and ultrasonic cleaning machine; the glasses clamping and rotating mechanism and ultrasonic cleaning machine mainly include a side-placed aluminum chassis 1, a socket with a safety switch 2, a socket 3, a power supply 4, a DC reduction motor 5, a DC motor drive board 6, an aluminum chassis front cover 7, a proximity switch group 8, a front section of the rotating shaft 9, a positioning column 10, a hand-screw nut 11, a middle section of the rotating shaft 12, a rear section of the rotating shaft 13, a rear section shaft fixing seat 14, a DC low-beam lamp 15, a water level sensor fixing bracket 16, a water level sensor 17, an ultrasonic cleaning machine assembly 18, an embedded cleaning machine fixing cover 19, an embedded code scanner 20, a chassis 21, and a right side cover of the chassis 22, Electric control water tank 23, chassis upper bracket 24, backlight light box 25, backlight advertising sticker 26, chassis front door 27, DC power supply 28, electric control panel 29, one-position embedded socket 30, three-position embedded socket 31, operation step instruction sign 32, chassis left side cover 33, high-speed fan clamping lower plate 34, fan unit right side cover 35, air inlet cover 36, fan unit main body 37, fan unit left side cover 38, high-speed fan 39, air outlet cover 40, high-speed fan clamping upper plate 41, pad 42, aluminum alloy upper cover fixing plate 43, cleaning rack bottom plate 44, cleaning rack upper plate 45, rack rotating shaft nut 46, rotating shaft base 47, glasses fixing frame 48 and rotating shaft 49. The main purpose of this utility model is to improve the problems existing in the company's previous generation of products. It is centered around enabling users to obtain a cleaning service QR code, scan the cleaning service QR code, and place the glasses to be cleaned on the cleaning rack. The ultrasonic cleaning program is activated. First, the glasses to be cleaned are rotated into the cleaning liquid, and the ultrasonic cleaning program is activated for ultrasonic cleaning. After the cleaning is completed, the glasses to be cleaned are rotated to move away from the cleaning liquid, and the high-speed fan is activated to blow directly at the glasses. During the blowing process, the rotation can be set according to the program so that both the front and back of the glasses can be blown, achieving a drier and faster blowing. To achieve this purpose, the following improvements have been made:
[0038] The utility model fundamentally changes the way of blowing glasses by selecting a high-speed fan to directly blow glasses. It is mainly achieved by the cooperation of two parts: one is a rotating bracket assembly with a glasses fixing frame, and the other is a fan unit.
[0039] Figure 3is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a rotating bracket assembly; Figure 4 This is an exploded view of the rotating bracket assembly. The rotating bracket assembly primarily includes a sideways aluminum chassis, a proximity switch assembly 8, a front section of the rotating shaft 9, a positioning column 10, a thumb nut 11, a middle section of the rotating shaft 12, a rear section of the rotating shaft 13, a cleaning rack base plate 44, a cleaning rack upper plate 45, and an eyeglass holder 48. A DC reduction motor 5 and a DC motor driver board 6 are housed within the sideways aluminum chassis. The DC motor driver board 6 drives the DC reduction motor 5 to rotate. The shaft driving the DC reduction motor 5 is fixedly connected to the front section 9 of the rotating shaft. The other end of the front section 9 is connected to the middle section 12 of the rotating shaft. The main body of the middle section 12 is a connecting plate with multiple positioning holes. The other end of the middle section 12 is connected to the rear section 13 of the rotating shaft. The other end of the rear section 13 is attached to the rear section shaft fixing seat 14. Rotation of the DC reduction motor 5's shaft drives the front section 9 and the middle section 12 of the rotating shaft to rotate.
[0040] One side of the washing rack base plate 44 folds in a Z-shaped formation, forming a folded portion with a connection hole that mates with the connection hole plate. The folded portion secures the washing rack base plate 44 to the rotating shaft middle section 12. The washing rack base plate 44 is provided with two parallel guide grooves and multiple hollow holes, designed to facilitate rapid water flow during rotation. The washing rack base plate 44 also has multiple mounting holes for positioning posts, allowing for the attachment of different sized glasses by selecting the appropriate mounting holes. The washing rack upper plate 45 is equipped with guide rails that mate with the two parallel guide grooves. A glasses holder 48 is secured to the center of the washing rack upper plate 45. The washing rack upper plate 45 can move along the two parallel guide grooves against resistance, cooperating with the positioning posts to secure the glasses. The rotating shaft middle section 12 rotates, driven by a DC motor. This in turn drives the washing rack base plate 44 and upper plate 45, which in turn rotates the glasses mounted thereon to a specific angle.
[0041] The fan assembly includes a high-speed fan clamping lower plate, a right fan cover, an air inlet hood, a fan body, a left fan cover, a high-speed fan assembly, an air outlet hood, and a high-speed fan clamping upper plate. The fan assembly ensures that the high-speed fan's air outlet is as close as possible to the washing rack bottom plate 44 and the washing rack upper plate 45 without affecting their rotation. This improves the drying effect and shortens the drying time. To prevent air rebound and affect the drying effect, the sides of the Z-shaped folded portion are also hollowed out to further prevent air rebound during high-speed fan operation.
[0042] Various advertising methods are used to attract customers to the device and encourage their use. The user is prompted on the operation step sign 32 to obtain the cleaning service QR code. After obtaining the cleaning service QR code, the user aligns the obtained service QR code with the device's embedded scanner 20. After the device's embedded scanner 20 scans the service QR code, it internally verifies whether it meets the requirements and determines whether it is within the validity period. The validity period of the free cleaning service QR code is generally set to 10 to 20 minutes and can only be used once. After the device passes the verification, the user is prompted to place the glasses on the glasses holder. The positioning column can be adjusted according to the size of the glasses to ensure that the glasses are securely fixed. The glasses cleaning process is then initiated.
[0043] First, the water addition process is executed, controlling the loading of cleaning fluid from the electronically controlled water tank 23. During the loading process, the liquid level in the cleaning tank is monitored in real time, and water addition is stopped when the preset level is reached. The DC reduction motor 5 is controlled to rotate the cleaning rack base plate 44 and the cleaning rack upper plate 45, which hold the glasses to be cleaned, and completely immerse the glasses in the cleaning fluid. Ultrasonic cleaning is then initiated, and the cleaning process proceeds according to the pre-set program. To further enhance the user experience and cleaning effect, the ultrasonic cleaning process can also be enhanced by controlling the cleaning rack base plate 44 and the cleaning rack upper plate 45 to oscillate periodically within a certain amplitude. After the ultrasonic cleaning process is completed, the system can first enter the drainage process, draining the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank back to the electronically controlled water tank, which is a recyclable circulating water tank. After the drainage process is completed, the drying process can then be entered. To shorten customer waiting time overall, the drying process can also be entered directly after the ultrasonic cleaning process is completed, with the drainage and drying processes running in parallel. The drying process involves controlling the DC reduction motor 5 to rotate the glasses, which are mounted on the glasses holder 48, until they are approximately at the same height as the high-speed blower's outlet. The front or side of the glasses are angled toward the blower's outlet, and the blower is activated to begin drying. To further enhance drying speed and effectiveness, the front and side of the glasses are alternately angled toward the blower's outlet, with each angle maintaining a fixed stationary position for a specified duration. The drying duration, ultrasonic cleaning duration, and program settings can be flexibly configured by the user to suit different applications.
[0044] In order to further improve or allow users to feel the cleaning effect, a tubular DC low-beam light tube will be provided on the side of the cleaning main unit above the opposite side of the high-speed fan unit, so that users can observe the entire cleaning process and effect more clearly and improve the interactive effect of the equipment.
[0045] The above disclosure is only one embodiment of the present invention, and it is certainly not intended to limit the scope of the present rights. A person skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes of the above embodiment can be implemented, and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
