[0009] The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments described in the present specification are not exhaustive, and do not represent the only embodiment of the present application. The following examples are only for the purpose of clearly illustrating the content of the present application, and are not a limitation on the embodiments. For those skilled in the art, different forms of changes and modifications can be made on the basis of the embodiment description, and any changes or modifications within the technical concept and content of the present application are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0010] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present application provides a kind of crystal grain automatic cleaning equipment, including cleaning container 110, ultrasonic oscillator 120, cleaning support plate 130, liquid supply device 140, liquid return device 150 and gas supply device 160.

[0011] As shown in Figure 2 , cleaning container 110 is arranged on ultrasonic oscillator 120, its cross section is rectangular, see Figure 1 .

[0012] As shown in Figure 2 , cleaning container 110 has liquid inlet hole 111, liquid outlet hole 112 and gas supply hole on wall body, liquid inlet hole 111 and liquid outlet hole 112 are flush with the inner bottom surface of cleaning container 110, wherein liquid inlet hole 111 is located at the left side of cleaning container 110, liquid outlet hole 112 and gas supply hole are located at the right side of cleaning container 110.

[0013] The inner surface of the wall body of cleaning container 110 has annular clamping groove 113, which is higher than liquid inlet hole 111, liquid outlet hole 112 and gas supply hole.

[0014] Cleaning support plate 130 is parallel to the inner bottom surface of cleaning container 110, which is plastic plate, has elasticity, edge and clamping groove 113 are connected, realize the detachable fixing of cleaning support plate 130 and the inner surface of the wall body of cleaning container 110.
