Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automated assembly production equipment, and in particular to a fully automatic ultrasonic polishing and cleaning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasonic polishing and cleaning is a cleaning method that combines ultrasonic technology and polishing process. It utilizes the cavitation, acceleration, and direct flow effects of ultrasonic waves in liquids to efficiently and thoroughly clean the surface of workpieces.

[0003] Specifically, the principle of an ultrasonic cleaner is to convert the acoustic energy of a high-power ultrasonic source into mechanical vibration through a transducer. This vibration is then radiated onto the cleaning fluid in the tank through the cleaning tank walls. Under the action of the ultrasound, microbubbles in the cleaning fluid continue to vibrate. When the sound pressure or intensity reaches a certain level, the bubbles rapidly expand and suddenly collapse, generating shock waves and high pressure, thereby breaking down insoluble dirt and disintegrating it in the solution. Simultaneously, the direct and repeated impact of vapor cavitation on the dirt also achieves a cleaning effect.

[0004] Ultrasonic polishing and cleaning is widely used in various industries, including but not limited to: Surface coating industry: Cleaning carbon deposits, oxide scale, polishing paste, and removing oil and rust before electroplating. Suitable for pre-treatment and pre-plating cleaning of stainless steel products, knives, tableware, locks, lighting fixtures, jewelry, etc. Machinery industry: Cleaning cutting oil, abrasive particles, iron filings, dust, etc., from mechanical parts, as well as removing rust-preventive grease. Particularly suitable for cleaning automotive parts such as engines, transmissions, and shock absorbers. Electronics industry: Cleaning rosin flux from electronic components and grease from precision instruments.

[0005] Based on this, Chinese Patent CN105032833B discloses an ultrasonic cleaning machine, which includes an ultrasonic device, a cleaning tank, and an ultrasonic cleaning machine housing. The cleaning tank is located inside the ultrasonic cleaning machine housing, and the ultrasonic device is fixed to the outer wall of the cleaning tank. It also includes a high-pressure water jet device, which comprises a high-pressure water jet spray device and a high-pressure pump. The high-pressure water jet spray device is located in the middle of the cleaning tank, and the high-pressure pump is located below the cleaning tank and connected to the high-pressure water jet spray device. Therefore, this ultrasonic cleaning machine makes full use of space while simultaneously improving the cleaning capacity of the ultrasonic cleaning machine, and can be widely used for cleaning various types of workpieces.

[0006] However, the ultrasonic cleaning machine disclosed above still suffers from poor energy-saving performance. Specifically, in industrial applications, manufacturers expect an ultrasonic cleaning device that can save energy and reduce costs while ensuring cleaning effectiveness. While the high-pressure water flow used in the existing patents can enhance the ultrasonic cleaning effect, the water flow cannot be recycled, failing to meet the actual needs of environmental protection and cost reduction in the context of water conservation trends.

[0028] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 This utility model discloses a fully automatic ultrasonic polishing and cleaning mechanism, comprising: a cleaning tank 1, an ultrasonic transducer assembly 2, a circulating spray pipe 3, a circulating power pump 4, a supporting filter frame 5, a temperature control mechanism 6, a venting structure 7, and a control module 8. The ultrasonic transducer assembly 2 is disposed within the cleaning tank 1. The circulating spray pipe 3 is connected to the cleaning tank 1. The circulating power pump 4 is located on the outside of the cleaning tank 1 and is connected to the circulating spray pipe 3. The supporting filter frame 5 is connected to the cleaning tank 1 below the ultrasonic transducer assembly 2. The temperature control mechanism 6 is located below the supporting filter frame 5 within the cleaning tank 1. The venting structure 7 is located at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. The control module 8 is located on the outer side of the cleaning tank 1 and is connected to the ultrasonic transducer assembly 2, the circulating power pump 4, and the temperature control mechanism 6.

[0029] Specifically, when the fully automatic ultrasonic polishing and cleaning mechanism of this utility model is in operation, the workpiece to be cleaned can be placed in the cleaning tank 1 and supported by the supporting filter frame 5. Then, the control module 8 starts and controls the ultrasonic transducer assembly 2, the circulating power pump 4, and the temperature control mechanism 6 according to a preset program; so that the circulating power pump 4 can guide the cleaning agent or water pre-injected in the cleaning tank 1 into the circulating spray pipe 3, which sprays and cleans the workpiece placed on the supporting filter frame 5. Simultaneously, the ultrasonic transducer assembly 2 also starts working to convert the input electrical energy into high-frequency, high-intensity ultrasonic energy; this energy is transmitted to the medium, such as cleaning fluid or water, through the transducer, and then, in conjunction with the spraying action, performs ultrasonic spray cleaning on the workpiece. Impurities washed away can be isolated and filtered by the supporting filter frame 5; only the filtered liquid will re-enter the circulating spray pipe 3. Furthermore, during spraying, the temperature control mechanism 6 can also heat and control the cleaning agent injected into the cleaning tank 1 to ensure the sprayed liquid has a preset temperature, thereby further enhancing the ultrasonic spray cleaning effect. When cleaning is required, the supporting filter frame 5 can be removed for rinsing, and the liquid injected into the cleaning tank 1 can be discharged through the drain structure 7. Therefore, this utility model, a fully automatic ultrasonic polishing and cleaning mechanism, proposes a technical solution that allows for circulating spraying and reusing cleaning agents or water in an ultrasonic cleaning tank. It also allows for the recirculation of heated liquid back into the tank for reuse after each heating, enhancing ultrasonic cleaning capabilities while achieving energy saving, emission reduction, and cost reduction.

Specifically, the annular hanger 201 can suspend the two ultrasonic transducer plates 202 in the cleaning tank 1 to facilitate the propagation of ultrasonic energy in the sprayed liquid.

[0031] Furthermore, the circulating spray pipe 3 includes a spray pipe 301, an inlet pipe 302, an outlet pipe 303, and a filter head 304. Two spray pipes 301 are positioned opposite each other between the two ultrasonic transducer plates 202, and each spray pipe 301 is connected to the inlet pipe 302. The inlet pipe 302 and the outlet pipe 303 are respectively connected to the circulating power pump 4. The filter head 304 is located at the end of the outlet pipe 303 and is positioned below the supporting filter frame 5 within the cleaning tank 1. Specifically, the cleaning agent or other liquid medium pre-injected into the cleaning tank 1 can be filtered by the filter head 304 at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, then pumped into the inlet pipe 302 by the circulating power pump 4, and then transmitted from the inlet pipe 302 to each spray pipe 301, causing the spray pipes 301 to spray down between the two ultrasonic transducer plates 202, thus cleaning the workpiece with ultrasonic energy.

[0032] Furthermore, the temperature control mechanism 6 includes a temperature controller 601, a heating element 602, and a heating element fixing connector 603. The temperature controller 601 is disposed in the cleaning tank 1, and the heating element 602 is disposed within the cleaning tank 1. The temperature controller 601 is controllably connected to the heating element 602. The heating element fixing connector 603 is disposed on the side of the cleaning tank 1 and is connected to the heating element 602. Specifically, the control module 8 is electrically connected to the temperature controller 601. The control module 8 can control the heating element 602 by controlling the temperature controller 601, so that the liquid medium injected into the cleaning tank 1 can be heated to a preset temperature.

[0033] Furthermore, the venting structure 7 includes a bottom discharge pipe 701, a discharge ball valve 702, and a discharge pipe 703. The bottom discharge pipe 701 is connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, and the discharge ball valve 702 is connected to both the bottom discharge pipe 701 and the discharge pipe 703. Specifically, when it is necessary to vent the liquid medium in the cleaning tank 1, the discharge ball valve 702 can be manually opened so that the liquid can flow from the bottom discharge pipe 701 to the discharge pipe 703, thereby achieving the purpose of venting.

[0034] Furthermore, the control module 8 is an electrical control box structure of a fully automatic ultrasonic polishing and cleaning mechanism of this utility model, which includes necessary circuit components that can control the ultrasonic transducer assembly 2, the circulating power pump 4 and the temperature control mechanism 6, such as an ultrasonic generator and a circuit control board.

[0035] In summary, the fully automatic ultrasonic polishing and cleaning mechanism of this utility model includes a cleaning tank 1, an ultrasonic transducer assembly 2, a circulating spray pipe 3, a circulating power pump 4, a supporting filter frame 5, a temperature control mechanism 6, a venting structure 7, and a control module 8.
