Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the circulating loop 2 in communication with the cleaning tank 1, the circulating loop 2 is a pipeline structure, and includes the liquid outlet pipe 21 at one end and the liquid inlet pipe 22 at the other end. The liquid (hereinafter referred to as cleaning liquid) in the cleaning tank 1 can be led out from the liquid outlet pipe 21, and finally led back to the cleaning tank 1 from the liquid inlet pipe 22. The cleaning liquid is specifically a hydrocarbon solution, mainly composed of carbon and hydrogen elements, and its molecular formula is usually CnH(2n+2), which belongs to hydrocarbon compounds. The cleaning liquid formed by the hydrocarbon solution has strong cleaning ability, and can remove various dirt such as stamping oil, cutting oil, calendering oil, moisture, dust, etc. Such cleaning liquid can meet the cleaning needs of parts in many fields, such as hardware, jewelry, watches, electronics, PCB, electrical, liquid crystal, semiconductor, etc.

[0040] The circulating loop 2 is sequentially communicated with the first filter 25, the circulating pump 3, the second filter 26 and the condenser 4 from the liquid outlet pipe 21 to the liquid inlet pipe 22, that is, the cleaning liquid can be filtered by the first filter 25 and filtered by the second filter 26 in sequence under the traction of the circulating pump 3. After being cooled by the condenser 4, it reenters the cleaning tank 1 to clean the workpiece.

The condenser 4 adopts a conventional double-passage type, that is, comprises a first passage for moving the cleaning liquid, and a second passage surrounding the first passage and used for moving the cooling water. The condenser 4 is a prior art, and will not be specifically introduced in the present application, and can only be used to realize water cooling of the passing cleaning liquid. After the cooling water enters the condenser 4 to cool the cleaning liquid, the cooling water flows back to the water chiller 5 through the liquid return pipe 52, so as to realize the effect of continuous cooling.

When the opening and closing member 12 opens the liquid outlet 11, the cleaning liquid can enter the circulating loop 2 through the liquid outlet pipe 21 for cooling, the opening and closing of the liquid outlet 11 by the opening and closing member 12 can control the circulation of the cleaning liquid, the cleaning liquid can be discharged from the liquid outlet 11 by gravity, and it is not easy to retain the cleaned impurities in the cleaning tank 1. By setting the buffer pipe 14 and the valve 15, the liquid in the cleaning tank 1 can be completely discharged when the cleaning tank 1 is not used, and during the cooling process of the cleaning liquid in the liquid outlet 11, a certain amount of liquid can always be left in the buffer pipe 14, which can play a role in buffering the liquid discharge.
