Detailed Implementation

[0034] The technical features of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can understand them.

[0035] An automatic lens cleaning machine includes a frame 1, a first track plate 6 above the frame 1, and a second track plate 7 below the first track plate 6. A first crank-slider mechanism 2 on the first track plate 6 drives the second track plate 7 to move horizontally left and right along the first track plate 6. A frame device 4 below the second track plate 7 has a second crank-slider mechanism 3 on the second track plate 7 driving the frame device 4 to move horizontally back and forth. The frame device 4 includes a frame plate 401, a vertical guide post 407, an upper brush plate mounting plate 402 located below the frame plate 401 and capable of rising and falling along the vertical guide post 407, and a lower brush plate mounting plate 402. The mounting plate 403 has a first lifting cylinder 404 that drives the upper brush plate mounting plate 402 to rise and fall, and a second lifting cylinder 405 that drives the lower brush plate mounting plate 403 to rise and fall. Between the upper brush plate mounting plate 402 and the lower brush plate mounting plate 403, there is a collar 406 for loading several lenses and clamping and cleaning them by the upper brush plate mounting plate 402 and the lower brush plate mounting plate 403. The upper brush plate 8 is detachably mounted on the upper brush plate mounting plate 402, and the lower brush plate 9 is detachably mounted on the lower brush plate mounting plate 403. Both the upper brush plate 8 and the lower brush plate 9 are provided with spray holes 10 for connecting water pipes to spray cleaning agent onto the lenses.

[0036] Because the frame device 4 also moves along with the second track plate 7, the forward and backward movement of the frame device 4 plus the left and right movement of the second track plate 7 results in the frame device 4 actually making a circular arc movement.

[0037] When only the first motor 201 is turned on, the frame device 4 moves back and forth with the second track plate 7. When only the second motor 301 is turned on, the frame device 4 moves back and forth.

[0038] The frame device 4 functions by lifting the upper brush plate 8 and the lower brush plate 9 to clamp the lens on the collar 406, allowing it to move back and forth, left and right, or in an arc motion to wipe the lens sprayed with cleaning agent, thus completing the automatic cleaning of the lens. The collar 406 can be equipped with lens plates of different sizes, and the lens plates can also be equipped with lenses of different shapes. Therefore, this equipment can clean various lenses, has a wide range of applications, and can greatly improve cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0039] Of course, it can also be set so that the second track plate 7 moves back and forth, and the frame device 4 moves left and right.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the first lifting cylinder 404 pushes the upper brush plate mounting plate 402 to move up and down, and the second lifting cylinder 405 pulls the lower brush plate mounting plate 403 to move up and down.

[0041] The first lifting cylinder 404 and the second lifting cylinder 405 are both pen-shaped cylinders. There is a screw on the top of the pen-shaped cylinder to adjust the stroke of the piston rod, thereby adjusting the clamping degree of the collar 406, ensuring that there is no relative movement between the brush plate and the brush plate mounting plate when cleaning the lens.

[0042] Because the entire frame device 4 needs to move horizontally, the bottom of the frame device 4 is suspended and does not contact the frame 1. In this application, a large hole is opened on the frame plate to allow the bottom of the frame device 4 to extend into the frame, thereby reducing the overall height of the equipment and saving materials.

[0043] Furthermore, a first support 14 is provided on the frame 1, and the first track plate 6 is supported by the first support 14. A track for the second track plate 7 is provided at the bottom of the first track plate 6 in the left-right direction, and a track for the frame plate 401 is provided at the bottom of the second track plate 7 in the front-back direction. The first crank-slider mechanism 2 includes a first motor 201 fixed on the first track plate 6, a first crank 202 driven to rotate by the output shaft of the first motor 201, and a first connecting rod 203 driven to rotate by the first crank 202. The second track plate 7 is hinged to the other end of the first connecting rod 203. The second crank-slider mechanism 3 includes a second motor 301 provided on the first track plate 6, a second crank 302 driven to rotate by the output shaft of the second motor 301, and a second connecting rod 303 driven to rotate by the second crank 302. The frame plate 401 is hinged to the other end of the second connecting rod 303.

[0044] The first crank-slider mechanism 2 converts the rotation of the first motor 201 into the reciprocating motion of the second track plate 7, and the second crank-slider mechanism 3 converts the rotation of the second motor 301 into the reciprocating motion of the frame plate 401.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, both sides of the upper brush plate 8 and the lower brush plate 9 are provided with steps, and both the upper brush plate mounting plate 402 and the lower brush plate mounting plate 403 are provided with locking strips 11 for securing the steps. This allows for the detachable installation of the upper brush plate 8 and the lower brush plate 9, resulting in a simple structure and convenient use. In use, simply push the upper brush plate 8 and the lower brush plate 9 in; the upper brush plate 8 is hung on the upper brush plate mounting plate 402.

[0046] Additionally, a push-in device 5 is provided on the frame 1 to automatically push the collar 406 in, and a cleaning agent recycling device is provided below the frame 1.

[0047] The pushing device 5 includes a first driving cylinder 501 mounted on a second bracket, a horizontal guide post 502, and a slider 503 driven by the first driving cylinder 501 to move horizontally along the horizontal guide post 502. The collar 406 is placed on the slider 503 and fixed by bolts.

[0048] The first drive cylinder 501 is provided on both sides, and a handle is provided on the collar 406 to facilitate pushing the collar 406 in and pulling it out. The collar 406 is provided with various types of holes to facilitate loading different types of lens plates. The lens plate is equipped with several lenses, making it widely applicable.

[0049] The cleaning agent recycling device includes a first filter hopper 12 located below the frame 1 and a cleaning agent storage tank. The cleaning agent storage tank is equipped with a water pump that draws the filtered cleaning agent through water pipes to the upper brush plate mounting plate 402 and the lower brush plate mounting plate 403.

[0050] As described above, the automatic lens cleaning machine also includes a second filter 13 on the frame 1 for drying the cleaned lenses. After cleaning, the lens plates are manually transferred to the second filter 13 to dry. The dripping cleaning agent is filtered through the second filter 13 and returned to the cleaning agent storage tank for reuse.

[0051] As described above, the automatic lens cleaning machine has an electrical distribution box on the frame 1 and above the first track plate 6, which is not shown in the figure.

[0052] As described above, in the automatic lens cleaning machine, the frame device 4, the first track plate 6, and the second track plate 7 are all made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Because the cleaning agent is corrosive, aluminum alloy cannot be used. This application uses chrome plating on the stainless steel surface for corrosion protection. Multiple holes are provided on the second track plate 7, the frame plate 401, the upper brush plate mounting plate 402, and the lower brush plate mounting plate 403 to reduce weight, material usage, and cost.

[0053] This utility model also claims protection for a method for cleaning lenses using the above-mentioned automatic lens cleaning machine, comprising the following steps:

[0054] A. Manually push the upper brush plate 8 into the upper brush plate mounting plate 402, push the lower brush plate 9 into the lower brush plate mounting plate 403, and connect the upper brush plate mounting plate 402 and the lower brush plate mounting plate 403 to the water pipe.
