The carrier tray is conveyed within the flow channel. When it reaches below the typhoon cleaning component (a position sensor can determine if the tray is in the designated position and provide a corresponding signal), the filtration and dust collection mechanism is activated (receiving the signal from the carrier tray), and the negative pressure mechanism (fan) begins operation. A negative pressure gauge detects the negative pressure value within the exhaust box. Simultaneously, the air circuit solenoid valve group controls... The high-pressure gas source supplies high-pressure gas to the pneumatic rotary nozzle and ion air knife. The pneumatic rotary nozzle sprays gas and rotates under the influence of the jet flow, thus providing a high-speed airflow similar to a typhoon to clean the surface of the carrier. The ion air knife generates positive and negative ions, which are carried by the high-pressure gas and blown toward the carrier to remove static electricity from the surface of the carrier. After cleaning is completed, the flow channel continues to move the carrier until it flows out (the position sensor can determine whether the carrier is in the designated position and provide a corresponding signal). The air circuit solenoid valve group closes, the negative pressure mechanism closes, and it waits for the next carrier to arrive.
