Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning disc for automatic cleaning of reduced germanium ingots. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the production of reduced germanium ingots is mainly based on the standard GB / T 11070-2017 "Reduced Germanium Ingots," and it is the main raw material for the production of zone-melted germanium ingots. Section 3.4 of GB / T 11070-2017, "Surface Quality," requires that the surface of reduced germanium ingots "should have a silvery-gray metallic luster, without obvious oxide film, slag, cracks, or inclusions." However, during the production process, some impurities inevitably adhere to the surface. To meet product quality requirements, these impurities are generally removed by acid and alkali treatment, followed by rinsing with pure water and drying to remove surface moisture. Currently, the acid and alkali cleaning and rinsing processes are mainly done manually. This approach is problematic because it compromises inherent safety, posing a risk of acid and alkali corrosion to cleaning workers. Furthermore, it may result in incomplete cleaning, affecting the surface quality of the reduced germanium ingots. In the existing technology, there are already methods for cleaning using mechanical equipment. When using mechanical equipment for cleaning, the key is how to stably support the reduced germanium ingots without affecting the cleaning operation. Such a support tray does not exist in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address or partially address the problems existing in the related technologies, this application provides a cleaning tray for automatic cleaning of reduced germanium ingots, which can facilitate cleaning operations while supporting the reduced germanium ingots.

[0004] This application discloses a cleaning disc for automatic cleaning of reduced germanium ingots, comprising: a disc body, strip-shaped protrusions spaced apart on the disc surface, and multiple through holes arranged in rows at the intervals of the strip-shaped protrusions; and a low guardrail, a high guardrail, and a support column;

[0005] The disc body has low guardrails symmetrically arranged on both sides, high guardrails symmetrically arranged on the other two sides, and support columns at the four corners.

[0006] Optionally, the support column is set as an L-shaped thickened plate, with one side integrally connected to the low guardrail and the other side integrally connected to the high guardrail.

[0007] Optionally, the tray can be rectangular, with the low guardrail located on the long side and the high guardrail located on the short side.

[0008] Optionally, the top of the support column is constructed with a triangular positioning plate, and the positioning plate is provided with columnar positioning pins. The bottom of the plate is constructed with positioning holes that are adapted to the orientation of the positioning pins.

[0009] Optionally, the strip protrusion can be set to a tapered shape.

[0010] Optionally, the high guardrail is equipped with clamps.

[0011] The technical solution provided in this application may include the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This device features a disc with tapered, raised sections at the bottom to support the reduced germanium ingots and minimize contact area. Multiple through-holes within the disc allow for thorough contact and mixing of the cleaning solution with the ingots. Protective railings around the disc prevent the ingots from slipping and falling during cleaning. Support pillars at the four corners position and stack multiple discs, enabling simultaneous cleaning of multiple ingots within the cleaning tank. This stable support and restraint of the ingots, without disrupting the cleaning process, ensures thorough contact between the cleaning solution and the ingots, guaranteeing a clean finish and meeting surface quality standards, thus ensuring product quality.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a cleaning tray for automatic cleaning of reduced germanium ingots. The technical solution of this application embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1 A cleaning tray for automatically cleaning reduced germanium ingots includes: a tray body 1, wherein the tray body 1 is a square plate adapted to the shape of the reduced germanium ingot; strip-shaped protrusions 12 are spaced apart on the surface of the tray body 1 to support the reduced germanium ingot; and the strip-shaped protrusions 12 are tapered to reduce the contact area with the reduced germanium ingot. Multiple through holes 11 are arranged in rows on the tray surface at the intervals of the strip-shaped protrusions 12 to facilitate easy overflow of the cleaning solution from the through holes 11 at the bottom when the cleaning tray is placed in the cleaning solution, allowing the solution to fully contact and clean the reduced germanium ingot.

[0024] To facilitate the containment of reduced germanium ingots on the tray 1, this application symmetrically provides low guardrails 2 on both sides of the tray 1 and high guardrails 3 on the other two sides. This serves two purposes: firstly, to prevent the reduced germanium ingots from slipping off the cleaning tray during cleaning, and secondly, to strengthen the cleaning tray and prevent deformation. The low guardrails 2 on the long side facilitate the automatic gripping and placement of the reduced germanium ingots by the robotic arm. The low guardrails 2 are located on one side of the long side, and the high guardrails 3 are located on the short side. Simultaneously, to ensure stable stacking of multiple trays during cleaning, support columns 4 are provided at the four corners of the tray 1. Each support column 4 is an L-shaped thickened plate, integrally formed with one side of the low guardrail 2 and the other side of the high guardrail 3. A triangular positioning plate 41 is constructed at the top of the support column 4, with columnar positioning nails 42 on the positioning plate 41. Positioning holes 13, which mate with the positioning nails 42, are constructed on the bottom of the tray 1.

[0025] This application utilizes a disk 1 with tapered, strip-shaped protrusions 12 at the bottom to reduce the contact area and support the reduced germanium ingot. Multiple through holes 11 are provided within the gaps to facilitate thorough contact and mixing of the cleaning solution with the reduced germanium ingot. Furthermore, protective railings are installed around the cleaning disk to prevent the reduced germanium ingot from slipping off and falling during cleaning. Support pillars 4 at the four corners are used to position and stack multiple disks 1, allowing for the simultaneous cleaning of multiple reduced germanium ingots within the cleaning tank. Thus, without affecting the cleaning operation, the reduced germanium ingot is stably restrained and supported, ensuring thorough contact between the cleaning solution and the ingot, resulting in a complete cleaning and guaranteeing that the surface quality of the reduced germanium ingot meets the required standards, thus ensuring product quality.

[0026] In one embodiment, a clamping buckle is provided on the high guardrail 3 for manual clamping and lifting.

[0027] In this application, a cleaning tray is placed in a storage mechanism in front of the cleaning tank. Reduced germanium ingots to be cleaned are transported to the front of the cleaning tank, where a robotic arm automatically places the ingots onto the cleaning tray. Once the tray is full of a set number of ingots, a signal is transmitted to the robotic arm in the cleaning section. The robotic arm picks up the tray with the ingots and, according to a set program, completes the acid-alkali cleaning and pure water rinsing of the reduced germanium ingots through a preheating tank, an acid-alkali cleaning tank, and a pure water rinsing tank. The ingots are then automatically transferred to the next section. Ultrasonic cleaning is performed in the cleaning tank using ultrasonic vibration, ensuring thorough contact between the cleaning acid / alkali and the rinsing pure water with the reduced germanium ingots, resulting in a complete cleaning process.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that in this document, relationships such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "include," "contain," or any other variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
