Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning line technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasonic cleaning machines are widely used devices that use ultrasonic vibrators to generate ultrasonic vibrations in cleaning solutions such as water, causing dirt adhering to the objects being cleaned to peel off. Currently, the cleaning, rinsing, and drying of trays mainly utilizes single centrifugal-structured tooling baskets in cylindrical or hexagonal / octagonal shapes. The cleaning process involves multi-tank cleaning, supplemented by multi-arm or single-arm robotic arms for handling the tooling baskets. This design typically requires multiple tanks and robotic arms for handling, resulting in a complex structure, inability to perform continuous ultrasonic cleaning operations, low cleaning efficiency, and high energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultrasonic cleaner that solves the technical problems of existing technologies, such as complex structure, inability to perform continuous ultrasonic cleaning, low cleaning efficiency, and high energy consumption.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an ultrasonic cleaning machine, including a feeding end, a discharging end, and a cleaning line. The feeding end and the discharging end are located at the beginning and end of the cleaning line. The cleaning line includes n cleaning tanks and a conveyor belt. Each cleaning tank has a lifting module on its outer side and a bracket on its inner side for supporting materials. Each lifting module is used to lift each bracket. The beginning of the conveyor belt is connected to the top of the feeding end, and the end is connected to the top of the discharging end. The conveyor belt is slidably fitted with n+1 clamps. Each clamp includes two sliding blocks and a support platform that slides on the two sliding blocks respectively.

[0005] Preferably, each of the lifting modules is located on one side of the cleaning line, the conveyor belt is located on the other side of the cleaning line, and each of the support platforms extends toward the lifting module.

[0006] Preferably, each of the lifting modules includes a mounting base, a pneumatic push rod, and a top frame. The mounting base is installed on the outside of the cleaning tank. The top of the pneumatic push rod is fixedly installed to the mounting base. The output shaft of the pneumatic push rod slides through the mounting base, extends upward, and is fixedly installed to the top frame. Each top frame is fixedly connected to each of the brackets.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting base has guide grooves on both sides, and guide rods are slidably connected in the two guide grooves, with the top of the guide rods fixedly installed to the top frame.

[0008] Preferably, each of the top frames is connected by a connecting rod.

[0009] Preferably, the discharge end includes a box and a material trough disposed in the box. The material trough is equipped with a lifting mechanism and a discharge plate. The lifting mechanism is used to lift the discharge plate.

[0010] Preferably, the feeding end includes a base and a feeding belt.

[0011] The ultrasonic cleaner provided in this embodiment of the present invention has at least one of the following technical effects:

[0012] In operation, a cleaning basket loaded with a tray is fed into the inlet. A clamp near the inlet picks up the basket and places it into a cleaning tank at the beginning of the line for ultrasonic cleaning. After cleaning, a bracket lifts the basket from the tank, which is then supported by an upper clamp. A conveyor belt transports the basket to the next cleaning tank. A bracket in the next tank rises to support the bottom of the basket, which is then slowly lowered into the tank for cleaning. Simultaneously, the clamp moves towards the inlet via the conveyor belt, allowing the clamp at the beginning to return to its original position. This process is repeated, moving the basket through each cleaning tank in the line and gradually placing it into the cleaning line. The cleaning continues until the basket reaches the final cleaning tank at the end of the line. After cleaning in the tank, the cleaning basket is lifted by the bracket, clamped by the fixture, and then conveyed to the discharge end by the conveyor belt. During the operation of the fixture, the bracket is raised by the lifting module so that the bottom of the cleaning basket on the bracket is higher than the fixture. The two platforms move towards each other in the slide and reach below the cleaning basket. The lifting module lowers the bracket until the cleaning basket is placed on the top surface of the platform. When the cleaning basket is sent to the next cleaning tank by the bed, the bracket is raised by the lifting module to support the bottom of the cleaning basket. The two platforms move away from each other in the slide and move away from below the cleaning basket. The lifting module lowers the bracket to place the cleaning basket in the cleaning tank or discharge end. This achieves continuous cleaning effect, reduces the use of transmission mechanisms, has a simple structure, and high production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0021] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, an ultrasonic cleaning machine is provided, including a feeding end 1, a discharging end 2, and a cleaning line 3. The feeding end 1 and the discharging end 2 are located at the beginning and end of the cleaning line 3. The cleaning line 3 includes n cleaning tanks 31 and a conveyor belt 32. Each cleaning tank 31 is provided with a lifting module 4 on its outer side and a bracket 33 on its inner side for supporting materials. Each lifting module 4 is used to realize the lifting function of each bracket 33. The beginning of the conveyor belt 32 is connected to the top of the feeding end 1, and the end is connected to the top of the discharging end 2. The conveyor belt 32 is slidably fitted with n+1 clamps 34. Each clamp 34 includes two slide blocks 341 and a support platform 342 that slides on the two slide blocks 341 respectively.

[0023] Furthermore, each of the lifting modules 4 is located on one side of the cleaning line 3, and the conveyor belt 32 is located on the other side of the cleaning line 3. Each of the support platforms 342 extends towards the lifting module 4. Specifically, the feed end 1 is located at the beginning of the cleaning line 3, the discharge end 2 is located at the end of the cleaning line 3, each lifting module 4 is located on the right side of the cleaning line 3, and the conveyor belt 32 is located on the left side of the cleaning line 3. This arrangement makes it less likely for the lifting module 4 to interfere with the lifting action of the drive bracket 33 and the movement of the conveyor belt 32 driving the clamp 34, reducing the equipment failure rate and achieving higher work efficiency. In addition, the slide 341 is a short-stroke linear module, and the slide 341 cooperates with the conveyor belt 32 on the side away from the support platform 342.

[0024] Furthermore, each of the lifting modules 4 includes a mounting base 41, a pneumatic push rod 42, and a top frame 43. The mounting base 41 is installed on the outside of the cleaning tank 31. The top of the pneumatic push rod 42 is fixedly installed to the mounting base 41. The output shaft of the pneumatic push rod 42 slides through the mounting base 41, extends upward, and is fixedly installed to the top frame 43. Each top frame 43 is fixedly connected to each of the brackets 33. Guide grooves 411 are provided on both sides of the mounting base 41. Guide rods 412 are slidably connected in the two guide grooves 411. The top of the guide rods 412 is fixedly installed to the top frame 43. Connecting rods 431 connect the top frames 43. Specifically, each bracket 33 performs lifting and lowering operations simultaneously. When the bracket 33 moves up and down, the top frame 43 is driven to move up and down through the pneumatic guide rail. Under the action of the connecting rod 431, the pushing height of each pneumatic push rod 42 can be based on the lifting height of the connecting rod 431, so that each bracket 33 can be lifted and lowered to the same height. At the same time, the guiding action of the guide rod 412 can achieve a more linear lifting and lowering effect.

[0025] Furthermore, the discharge end 2 includes a box 21 and a material trough 22 disposed in the box 21. The material trough 22 is provided with a lifting mechanism 23 and a discharge plate 24. The lifting mechanism 23 is used to realize the lifting function of the discharge plate 24. Specifically, after the cleaning basket reaches the cleaning tank 31 at the end of the cleaning line 3 for cleaning, the cleaning basket in the cleaning tank 31 is lifted by the bracket 33, clamped by the clamp 34, and then conveyed into the discharge end 2 by the conveyor belt 32. The discharge plate 24 is lifted by the elevator 23 and contacts the bottom of the cleaning basket. After the clamp 34 releases the cleaning basket, the discharge plate 24 is placed into the material trough 22 by the elevator 23 for discharge. The material trough 22 can be equipped with an outwardly connected conveyor belt 32 for the discharge of the cleaning basket. In addition, the structure of the elevator 23 can be set to be the same as that of the lifting module 4. The discharge plate 24 is connected to the top of the top frame 43 to achieve the lifting effect, reducing the use of complex mechanisms. In addition, the discharge plate 24 and the bracket 33 are provided with limiting plates on the left and right sides. Limiting plates can also be provided on the front and rear sides of the discharge plate 24 and the bracket 33 to fix the position of the cleaning basket.

[0026] Furthermore, the feed end 1 includes a base 11 and a feed belt 12.

[0027] Working Principle: During operation, a cleaning basket loaded with a tray is fed into the inlet 1. A clamp 34 near the inlet 1 picks up the basket and places it into the first cleaning tank 31 for ultrasonic cleaning. After cleaning, a bracket 33 lifts the basket from the tank 31, which is then supported by the clamp 34 above. A conveyor belt 32 transports the clamp 34 to the next cleaning tank 31. The bracket 33 in the next tank rises to support the bottom of the basket, which is then slowly lowered into the tank for cleaning. Simultaneously, the clamp 34 moves towards the inlet 1 via the conveyor belt 32, allowing it to return to its original position. This process is repeated, passing the basket through each cleaning tank 31 in the cleaning line 3. The baskets from the inlet 1 are gradually placed into the cleaning line 3 for cleaning. The cleaning continues until the basket reaches the final cleaning tank 31 in the cleaning line 3. After cleaning in the first cleaning tank 31, the cleaning basket is lifted by the bracket 33, clamped by the clamp 34, and then conveyed into the discharge end 2 by the conveyor belt 32 for discharge. During the operation of the clamp 34, the bracket 33 is raised by the lifting module 4, so that the bottom of the cleaning basket on the bracket 33 is higher than the clamp 34. The two platforms 342 move towards each other in the slide 341 and reach below the cleaning basket. The lifting module 4 lowers the bracket 33 until the cleaning basket is placed on the top surface of the platform 342. When the cleaning basket is sent to the next cleaning tank 31, the bracket 33 is raised by the lifting module 4 to support the bottom of the cleaning basket. The two platforms 342 move away from each other in the slide 341 and away from below the cleaning basket. The lifting module 4 lowers the bracket 33 to place the cleaning basket into the cleaning tank 31 or the discharge end 2, achieving a continuous cleaning effect, reducing the use of the transmission mechanism, with a simple structure and high production efficiency.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
