Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile production technology, specifically to an ultrasonic cleaning machine for automobile rearview mirrors. Background Technology

[0002] Rearview mirrors are one of the most important components of a car. Their function is to provide the driver with a view of what is behind the vehicle, helping the driver make correct judgments when changing lanes, reversing, and other situations.

[0003] An ultrasonic cleaner is a device that uses the cavitation effect of ultrasound waves in a liquid to clean the surface of an object. Ultrasonic waves generate tiny bubbles in the liquid; these bubbles explode on the object's surface, producing shock waves that remove dirt. When ultrasound waves propagate in a liquid, they generate alternating positive and negative sound pressure, forming a jet that impacts the object being cleaned. Simultaneously, due to nonlinear effects, acoustic flow and micro-flow are generated, and ultrasonic cavitation at the solid-liquid interface produces high-speed micro-jets. All these effects can break down dirt and remove or weaken boundary contaminants.

[0004] Ultrasonic cleaning machines use ultrasonic waves, in conjunction with ultrasonic cleaning fluid, to clean car rearview mirrors. This cleaning method can reach every corner of the rearview mirror, effectively removing dirt and scale. Ultrasonic cleaning equipment can automate the cleaning process, reducing the need for manual labor, saving human resources, lowering labor costs, increasing production efficiency, and shortening cleaning time.

[0005] Current ultrasonic cleaning machines typically immerse the lenses in cleaning fluid for cleaning, making it difficult to precisely control the cleaning time. Although the cleaning effect is good, it reduces the operating efficiency of the cleaning machine to some extent. Therefore, an ultrasonic cleaning machine for automotive rearview lenses is proposed.

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an ultrasonic cleaner for automotive rearview mirrors, which has the advantages of simple operation and high cleaning efficiency, and solves the problem of low operating efficiency of traditional ultrasonic cleaners for automotive rearview mirrors.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned goals of simple operation and high cleaning efficiency, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an ultrasonic cleaner for automotive rearview mirrors, comprising a machine body, a drive motor disposed on the side of the machine body, and a plurality of ultrasonic generators fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the machine body. The inner side wall of the machine body is provided with a cleaning component, and the side of the machine body is provided with a drying component.

[0008] The cleaning assembly includes a rotating rod rotatably connected to the inner wall of the machine body, a rotating cylinder fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating rod, a fixed frame fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating cylinder, a rotating seat fixedly installed on the side of the fixed frame, a fixed seat inserted and fixed on the side of the rotating seat, a lens holder movably connected to the side of the fixed seat, and a stabilizing seat movably connected to the top of the fixed seat.

[0009] The drying assembly includes a fixed slot on the side wall of the machine body, an air outlet guide channel movably connected inside the fixed slot, and several guide fans fixedly installed in the air outlet guide channel.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating rod extends laterally through the side wall of the machine body to the outside of the machine body, and a transmission belt is provided on the outer side of one end of the rotating rod located on the outside of the machine body. The rotating rod is connected to the drive motor through the transmission belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing frame is a cross structure with several support rods on the outside, and one side of the fixing seat is inserted and fixed to the side of the rotating shaft of the rotating seat. The side of the fixing seat is provided with a slot.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the lens holder is provided with T-shaped locking blocks on both sides for use with locking slots, and the top of the lens holder is provided with several locking slots for fixing the lens, and the inner sidewall of the locking slot is provided with a rubber pad.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the T-shaped card block is provided with a plug-in hole, and the sides of the stabilizing base are provided with plug-in rods for fixing in conjunction with the plug-in hole. The bottom of the stabilizing base is provided with several limiting slots for use in conjunction with the locating slot.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner wall of the air outlet guide channel is provided with several heating wires, and a Y-shaped air outlet is provided at one end of the air outlet guide channel located on the inner wall of the machine body.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an ultrasonic cleaner for automotive rearview mirrors, which has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This ultrasonic cleaner for automotive rearview mirror lenses works by inserting the lens into the recessed slot. After the lens is fixed, the stabilizing seat is inserted into the top of the T-shaped block. Then, the drive motor and ultrasonic generator are started. The ultrasonic generator causes the cleaning fluid inside the machine to vibrate at high frequency. The rotation of the drive motor transmits power to the rotating rod through the transmission belt. The rotation of the rotating rod drives the rotating cylinder to rotate, thereby driving the fixing frame, rotating seat, and fixing seat to rotate. This causes the lens holder to send the lens into the cleaning fluid inside the machine for cleaning.

[0018] 2. This ultrasonic cleaner for automotive rearview mirrors controls the cleaning time of the mirror in the cleaning fluid by controlling the rotation speed of the drive motor. Then, the guide fan is started to rotate, and the guide fan quickly sends the treated air from one side of the air outlet channel into the machine body through the air outlet channel's air outlet. The cleaned mirror rotates to the air outlet position of the air outlet channel under the rotation of the mirror holder. The rapidly passing air increases the drying speed of the cleaning fluid. After being quickly dried, the mirror reaches the top of the machine body, thus solving the problem of low operating efficiency of traditional ultrasonic cleaners for automotive rearview mirrors.
