Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to cleaning devices, and more particularly to an ultrasonic cleaning device that can achieve water recycling. Background Technology
[0002] Ultrasonic cleaning is widely used in cleaning various items, especially in the fields of eyeglasses and jewelry. Since eyeglasses and jewelry are relatively valuable items, high cleaning effectiveness is required. In ultrasonic cleaning, in addition to the cleaning time, cleaning procedure, and ultrasonic intensity, the requirements for the cleaning water are also very high. If a second cleaning is needed after the first, the water needs to be changed to achieve better results. This presents two problems: firstly, changing the water is inconvenient; secondly, it consumes a large amount of water, resulting in waste; and thirdly, the entire process increases the workload. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to simplify the user's operation, enable the reuse of water in the water tank, and reduce the need for water changes.
[0004] To address the above problems, this utility model proposes an ultrasonic cleaning device capable of recycling water. The device comprises a main cleaning unit and an electrically controlled circulating water tank. The inlet and outlet of the main cleaning unit are connected to the electrically controlled circulating water tank via a single silicone hose. The inlet and outlet share the same silicone hose. Cleaning involves pressurizing water from the electrically controlled circulating water tank into the main cleaning unit for ultrasonic cleaning. After cleaning, the used water is filtered and returned to the electrically controlled circulating water tank, thus achieving water recycling.
[0005] The ultrasonic cleaning device capable of circulating water is characterized in that the electrically controlled circulating water tank includes: a tee, a solenoid valve, a solenoid valve hose, a water pump hose, a check valve, a submersible pump, a drain elbow, and a water inlet elbow. One of the three ports of the tee is a circulating water inlet connected to the inlet / outlet at the bottom of the ultrasonic cleaner via a conduit; the other two ports are connected to the water inlet branch and the drainage branch, respectively. The water inlet branch includes a water pump hose, a check valve, a submersible pump, and a water inlet elbow. The submersible pump is connected to the check valve, then to the water pump hose, then to the water inlet elbow, then to the water inlet filter, and finally to one port of the tee via a hose. The drainage branch includes a drain elbow, a solenoid valve, and a solenoid valve hose. One port of the tee is connected to the solenoid valve via the solenoid valve hose and then to the drain elbow.
[0006] The ultrasonic cleaning device capable of recycling water is characterized by further including a drain filter hose, a drain filter, and an inlet filter. The inlet branch is connected to the inlet filter first through the inlet elbow, and then to one port of the tee through the hose. The drain branch has an additional drain filter before draining into the water tank.
[0007] The ultrasonic cleaning device capable of recycling water is characterized in that the drain filter is an 80-mesh filter and the inlet filter is a 10-micron filter.
[0008] The ultrasonic cleaning device capable of recycling water is characterized by including a water inlet operation, wherein when a water inlet operation is received, the solenoid valve is controlled to close, the submersible pump is started to draw water from the water tank, which is then filtered by the water inlet filter and injected into the ultrasonic cleaner through the three-way valve until the preset water level is reached, and then the submersible pump is turned off.
[0009] The ultrasonic cleaning device capable of recycling water is characterized by including a drainage operation, which only requires opening the solenoid valve to open the drainage passage, and closing the solenoid valve after drainage is complete.
[0010] The ultrasonic cleaning device that enables water recycling is characterized in that the submersible pump is a DC submersible pump with a head of 4M to 8M.
[0011] The ultrasonic cleaning device capable of recycling water is characterized by using a 7-core aviation connector cable to achieve electrical connection between the cleaning host component and the electrically controlled circulating water tank. The aviation connector cable integrates the ultrasonic cleaner and the circulating water tank control line and power supply into the 7-core cable.
[0012] The technical effects of this utility model are as follows: a simple structure enables water inlet and outlet of a single silicone tube, allowing for repeated recycling of water in the tank while ensuring cleaning effectiveness. This simplifies user operation, reduces labor and material costs, and improves work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0017] 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.
[0018] Figure 1 This is an overall schematic diagram of an ultrasonic cleaning device that can achieve water recycling. The device includes a cleaning main unit A and an electrically controlled circulating water tank B. The cleaning main unit A and the electrically controlled circulating water tank B are set independently and can be flexibly placed in different positions. The cleaning main unit A is placed higher than the electrically controlled circulating water tank B.
[0019] Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the main cleaning unit components, which mainly include the top cover assembly 1, drain basket 2, bracket 3, water level sensor 4, rear cover 5, main PCB board 6, circuit connection board 7, DC socket 8, silicone water pipe 9, power switch 10, cleaning machine body 11, cleaning machine front cover 34, cleaning machine display panel 35, knob 36, cleaning machine control board 37, and cleaning machine control box bottom shell 38.
[0020] Figure 3 This is an exploded view of an electrically controlled circulating water tank. Figure 4 This is an exploded view of the ultrasonic cleaning device. The electrically controlled circulating water tank mainly includes a control board waterproof box 14, connecting fixing screws 15, tee fixing screws 16, stainless steel cover 17, filter element clips 18, tee 19, water tank cover 20, first locking pad 21, water pump hose 22, one-way valve 23, submersible pump 24, water tank bottom shell 25, drain filter 26, second locking pad 27, drain filter hose 28, solenoid valve hose 29, drain elbow 30, inlet elbow 31, solenoid valve 32, and inlet filter 33. The function of the electrically controlled circulating water tank is to provide clean cleaning water and automatically circulate the water. To achieve a connection between the cleaning main unit and the electrically controlled circulating water tank via only a single silicone hose, allowing for the sharing of a single silicone hose for both inlet and outlet water, a unique inlet and outlet water structure was designed. The tee has three ports. One port serves as the circulating water inlet for the electrically controlled circulating water tank, connected via a conduit to the inlet / outlet at the bottom of the ultrasonic cleaner. The other two ports are connected to the inlet and outlet branches, respectively. The inlet branch includes a water pump hose, a check valve, a submersible pump, an inlet elbow, and an inlet filter. The submersible pump connects to the check valve, then to the water pump hose, then to the inlet elbow, then to the inlet filter, and finally to one port of the tee via a hose. The outlet branch includes a outlet filter, an outlet filter hose, an outlet elbow, a solenoid valve, and an outlet valve hose. One port of the tee connects to the solenoid valve via the solenoid valve hose, then to the outlet elbow, then to the outlet filter hose, and finally to the outlet filter.
[0021] When a water inlet operation is received, the solenoid valve closes, and the submersible pump starts drawing water from the tank. After passing through the inlet filter, the water is injected into the ultrasonic cleaner via a three-way valve until the preset water level is reached. The submersible pump then shuts off. Due to the one-way valve, the inlet branch closes, and the solenoid valve remains in its current state, keeping the drain branch closed. This maintains the water level within the ultrasonic cleaner. The ultrasonic cleaner can perform cleaning according to a user-defined cleaning program or automatically according to a preset program. After cleaning, the drain operation can be initiated by opening the solenoid valve to open the drain path. Because the ultrasonic cleaner is positioned higher than the water tank, the water automatically drains into the tank by gravity. Before entering the tank, the drain filter effectively removes impurities generated during the cleaning process, ensuring that the water returning to the tank is clean. For subsequent use, the water undergoes further double filtration through the inlet filter, allowing for water recycling. The cleanliness of the water entering the ultrasonic cleaner meets requirements, achieving good cleaning results. The one-way valve prevents backflow when the inlet pump is not filling with water during drainage, saving the need for a solenoid valve in the inlet circuit. The submersible pump is a DC submersible pump with a bottom suction cover, DC24V / 24W, 5.5M head, dimensions: 103*52*70mm, power: 24W, ensuring normal operation under a certain height difference. A high-head submersible pump is necessary not only to ensure normal operation under a certain height difference but also because the inlet filter uses a 10-micron high-density transition membrane, requiring a high head to smoothly overcome the resistance of the 10-micron high-density transition membrane, making water intake smoother and quickly pumping water from the circulating tank to the cleaning tank to the water level float height. The drain filter is an 80-mesh filter: a black extra-large 16mm nipple-type filter with a 304 stainless steel mesh. The structure also needs to be easily disassembled for convenient replacement of both the inlet and drain filters. It can filter out a large amount of dirt discharged into the water tank, preventing dirt from entering the circulating water tank and increasing its burden, keeping the water clean and hygienic, with a drainage time of less than 75 seconds; 10-micron filter: food-grade PP, filtration accuracy of 10 microns, maximum flow rate of 3 LPM, inlet water pressure of 0.1~0.4 MPa. It can filter out residual impurities in the water entering the cleaning tank, keeping the water in the cleaning tank clean at all times.
[0022] A 7-core aviation connector cable is used to connect the main cleaning unit A and the electrically controlled circulating water tank B. This aviation connector cable integrates the ultrasonic cleaner, circulating water tank control lines, and power supply into a single 7-core cable, ensuring reliable connection and simplifying tank installation. A water level sensor is installed to monitor the water level, enabling fully automatic water intake to reach the preset height.
[0023] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one example of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the processes of the above embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present utility model still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
