Detailed Implementation

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of helping to understand this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on this utility model.

[0021] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0022] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 This utility model discloses an ultrasonic cleaning and drying device for precision optical instrument parts, comprising a base plate 1 and an operation box 2, and an ultrasonic cleaning tank 201 and a drying box 202 located inside the operation box 2. Support rods 3 are provided at both ends of the operation box 2, and a fixing plate 4 is provided above the support rods 3. A motor 5 is mounted on the left side of the support rod 3, and a sliding rod 6 is connected to the drive end of the motor 5. A slider 7 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 6. The motor 5 drives the slider 7 to slide on the sliding rod 6, adjusting the position of the cleaning basket 10 and moving it onto the ultrasonic cleaning tank 201 or the drying box 202. An electric telescopic rod 8 is connected below the slider 7. The electric telescopic rod 8 is connected to the cleaning basket 10 via a lower support plate 9 and a hanging rod 901. The height of the cleaning basket 10 is adjusted by the electric telescopic rod 8, allowing the cleaning basket 10 to move above the ultrasonic cleaning tank 201 or the drying box 202, or to move it inside the ultrasonic cleaning tank 201 or the drying box 202.

[0023] In the first embodiment, a water tank 11 is installed on the right side of the operation box 2. The water tank 11 is connected to the water inlet pipe 13 through the water pump 12 above. The water inlet pipe 13 is connected to four sets of connecting pipes 15 through the water distribution pipe 14 above. The connecting pipes 15 have a staggered structure. A water supply pipe 16 is connected to the top of each of the four sets of connecting pipes 15. The water supply pipe 16 is arranged around the outer diameter of the cleaning basket 10 and extends to its bottom surface. A nozzle 17 is installed on one side of the water supply pipe 16. Several nozzles 17 are provided.

[0024] Specifically, the cleaning fluid in the water tank 11 is delivered to the inlet pipe 13 by the water pump 12. The cleaning fluid in the inlet pipe 13 then enters the distribution pipe 14 and simultaneously enters the four sets of connecting pipes 15 and the four sets of water supply pipes 16. At this time, the cleaning fluid entering the water supply pipes 16 is sprayed out by the nozzles 17 and evenly sprayed onto the parts inside the cleaning basket 10. Since the water supply pipes 16 are respectively set around the outer diameter and bottom surface of the cleaning basket 10, the cleaning area is fully covered. Furthermore, since multiple nozzles 17 are set inside the water supply pipes 16, the nozzles 17 ensure that different positions of the parts inside the cleaning basket 10 are thoroughly cleaned when cleaning the parts inside the cleaning basket 10.

[0025] In embodiment 2, a water storage tank 2001 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 201. A guide plate is installed below the water storage tank 2001, and it is inclined in shape with the top higher than the bottom. A drain pipe 18 is connected to the right side of the water storage tank 2001. A filter screen is installed at the connection between the water storage tank 2001 and the drain pipe 18. The water storage tank 2001 is connected to the water tank 11 through the drain pipe 18.

[0026] Specifically, when cleaning the parts in the cleaning basket 10, the cleaning fluid enters the water storage tank 2001 through the through hole on the outside of the cleaning basket 10. At this time, the cleaning fluid entering the water storage tank 2001 enters the drain pipe 18 through the guide plate at the bottom of the water storage tank 2001. When the cleaning fluid flows into the drain pipe 18, it is filtered by the filter screen to remove impurities, so that the cleaning fluid flowing back into the water tank 11 can be recycled and reused. This achieves the goal of recycling the cleaning fluid while cleaning the parts.

[0027] In embodiment 3, a heater 2021 is installed on both the top left and right sides of the inside of the drying oven 202. The heater 2021 is connected to the drive end of the drive motor at the rear. The heater 2021 is connected to the air inlet 2022 through an air duct. An air collecting hood 2023 is installed below the air inlet hood 2022. An exhaust port is opened on the inner side of the air collecting hood 2023.

[0028] Specifically, the drive motor rotates the heater 2021, which then delivers the generated hot air into the air duct and simultaneously into the air inlet hopper 2022. The air inlet hopper 2022 then delivers the hot air to the air collector hood 2023. The hot air is evenly distributed within the air collector hood 2023 through the air inlet hopper 2022. The exhaust vent on the inner side of the air collector hood 2023 corresponds to the side of the cleaning basket 10, allowing the hot air to be evenly blown from the exhaust vent towards the cleaning basket 10. Simultaneously, the hot air is concentrated within the air collector hood 2023, ensuring that the hot air can evenly cover the cleaning basket 10. This ensures that all parts of the parts are evenly dried with hot air, effectively preventing localized overheating or insufficient drying, thereby effectively improving drying efficiency.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] First, the cleaning solution in the water tank 11 is pumped by the water pump 12 to the inlet pipe 13, where it enters the distribution pipe 14 and simultaneously the four connecting pipes 15 and the four water supply pipes 16. The cleaning solution in the water supply pipes 16 is then sprayed out by the nozzle 17 and evenly onto the parts inside the cleaning basket 10. After cleaning, the cleaning basket 10 is moved upwards by the electric telescopic rod 8, moving it above the ultrasonic cleaning tank 201. The slider 7 is then driven by the motor 5 to slide on the sliding rod 6 and move above the drying chamber 202. The electric telescopic rod 8 moves the cleaning basket 10 into the drying chamber 202 and places it above the fixed base 2024. At this point, the drive motor rotates the heater 2021, and the heater... The blower 2021 delivers the generated hot air into the air duct and simultaneously into the air inlet 2022. The hot air is then delivered to the air collector 2023 through the air inlet 2022. The hot air is evenly distributed within the air collector 2023 through the air inlet 2022. The exhaust port on the inner side of the air collector 2023 corresponds to the side of the cleaning basket 10. The hot air is then evenly blown from the exhaust port onto the cleaning basket 10 and concentrated within the air collector 2023, ensuring that the hot air can evenly cover the cleaning basket 10. This allows all parts of the parts to be dried evenly with hot air. While the parts are being dried, moisture enters the water inlet 2025 through the fixing seat 2024 and is discharged through the drain outlet on the side of the water inlet 2025. This completes the entire workflow.
