Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-4An automatic air-blowing cleaning device for printed circuit boards includes an air-blowing machine 1.

A cleaning frame cover 204 is provided at the other end of the suspension rods 203. Multiple mounting slots 205 are provided inside the cleaning frame cover 204. Air-blowing knives 3 are installed inside the multiple mounting slots 205. Air vents 30 are provided at the bottom of the air-blowing knives 3. 1. A mounting port 302 is provided on one side of the air shower knife 3. Two sets of quick-connect air nozzles 303 are provided on the top of the air shower knife 3. An air pipe 304 is installed at one end of each set of quick-connect air nozzles 303. An air pump 4 is installed on the top of the air shower machine 1. A connecting pipe 401 is provided at the output end of the air pump 4. The other end of the connecting pipe 401 is fixedly connected to the air pipe 304. A lifting mechanism 206 is provided inside each of the two sets of fixing frames 2. A lifting frame 207 is provided on one side of the lifting mechanism 206. A placement frame 208 is provided above the lifting frame 207. A control panel 5 is installed on the top of the air shower machine 1. The control panel 5 is electrically connected to the air pump 4.

[0031] By setting up a blower, during use, the lifting mechanism 206 first raises and lowers the lifting frame 207 on one side, allowing multiple circuit boards inside the placement frame 208 to be cleaned inside the cleaning frame 201. After cleaning, it is raised above the cleaning frame 201, and multiple sets of blower blades inside the cleaning frame cover blow the circuit boards below. The air vents are located at the bottom of the cleaning frame cover, which blows the cleaning liquid dripping downwards at a uniform speed. This setup saves on solution costs. Furthermore, the greater the weight of the external cleaning liquid dripping from the printed circuit boards inside the cleaning frame under the blower blades, the less contamination is caused to the subsequent pure water tanks, improving rinsing power and reducing the burden on subsequent cleaning processes. The device uses an air pump 4 to deliver high-pressure gas as the air source for the blower blades 3, resulting in a cleaner airflow without impurities, further reducing contamination of the cleaning liquid. The control panel 5 allows for convenient external control by supervisors, enhancing the device's practicality.

[0032] Reference Figure 1A collection pipe 6 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning frame 201. One side of the collection pipe 6 is connected to the interior of the cleaning frame 201. A filter screen is installed inside the collection pipe 6, and a collection cover 601 is installed at the top of the collection pipe 6. A door 7 is installed on the front of the air shower 1. Two hinges 701 are installed on one side of the door 7, and one side of the two hinges 701 is fixedly connected to the air shower 1. An observation window 702 is installed inside the door 7. The observation window 702 is made of transparent glass, and a handle 703 is installed on the outside of the door 7. By setting up a collection... The collection pipe 6 can filter the cleaning fluid inside the cleaning frame 201 during use. The filtered debris will enter the collection pipe 6, which facilitates the collection of debris and improves the cleaning efficiency. The box door 7 can more easily seal the inside of the blower 1 during use, improving the practicality of the device. The observation window 702 can easily observe the inside of the blower 1 during use. The handle 703 can easily open and close the box door 7.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 The placement frame 208 features a hollow design, with handles 209 on both sides of its upper part. This design allows for quick and easy removal of the placement frame 208 from the top of the lifting frame 207 after the air shower is completed, and the hollow design also allows the cleaning liquid to fall more effectively downwards. The air shower machine 1 has four sets of casters 8 at its bottom, located at the four corners. These casters facilitate easier and less strenuous transport, enhancing practicality. Four fixing plates 9 are located on the outer bottom of the air shower machine 1.

By rotating the screw 901 during use, the stop plate 902 can be brought into contact with the ground, thus securing the device and improving its practicality.

[0034] Working Principle: By setting up the cleaning tank 1, the printed circuit board can be placed directly inside the cleaning frame 201. Then, multiple sets of air spray knives 3 inside the cleaning frame cover 204 above blow the circuit board below. The air vents 301 are located at the bottom of the cleaning frame cover 204, which can blow the cleaning solution dripping downwards from the cleaning frame cover 204 downwards at a uniform speed. This setting can save on solution costs. Moreover, under the blowing of the air spray knives 3, the greater the weight of the external cleaning solution dripping inside the cleaning frame 201, the less contamination will be on the subsequent multiple pure water tanks, which is beneficial to improving rinsing efficiency. The washing power reduces the burden of subsequent cleaning. The device uses an air pump 4 to deliver high-pressure gas as the air source for the air shower knife 3. The blown air is relatively clean and free of impurities, further reducing the contamination of the cleaning fluid. By setting up a collection pipe 6, the cleaning fluid dripping after the printed circuit board is blown by the air shower knife 3 can enter the interior of multiple outflow holes 206 through the tilt of the bottom of the cleaning frame 201 and be collected by the collection pipe 6. It then enters the collection tank 602 for better collection, which facilitates subsequent purification and treatment. It can also prevent the cleaning fluid from accumulating inside the cleaning frame 201 and improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0035] Among them, by setting up the control panel 5, the supervisor can easily control the device from the outside during use, which improves the practicality of the device. By setting up the box door 7, the inside of the blower 1 can be sealed more easily during use, which also improves the practicality of the device.

[0036] Meanwhile, by setting up the placement frame 208, after the blowing is completed, the placement frame 208 can be quickly and easily removed from the top of the lifting frame 207, and the hollow design allows the cleaning liquid to fall to the bottom better.

[0037] In addition, the observation window 702 allows for convenient observation of the interior of the air shower 1 during use, and the handle 703 allows for easy opening and closing of the box door 7. The four sets of casters 8 make it easier and less strenuous to transfer the device, improving its practicality. The fixing plate 9 allows the device to be fixed by rotating the screw 901 to make the plate 902 abut against the ground, thus improving its practicality.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
