The guide mechanism is disposed between the loading / unloading platform and the cleaning tank, with one end extending to the loading / unloading platform and the other end extending to the cleaning tank. The basket is movably connected to the guide mechanism. The first drive mechanism is capable of driving the basket to move up and down and to slide horizontally along the guide mechanism. The swing mechanism is movably connected to the cleaning tank. The second drive mechanism is connected to the swing mechanism to drive the swing mechanism to swing, thereby realizing the swing of the basket located in the cleaning tank.

[0034] This application provides an ultrasonic cleaner 10 to address the following problems in traditional ultrasonic button cleaning operations where the process is done manually: workers first pour the washed buttons into a button hopper, then transport the hopper to the ultrasonic cleaner for polishing. This traditional cleaning method consumes a large amount of manpower in tedious and repetitive work, and is inefficient, failing to meet the requirements for energy-saving and high-efficiency operations. The ultrasonic cleaner 10 will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] The ultrasonic cleaner 10 provided in this application embodiment is exemplary; please refer to [link to example]. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the ultrasonic cleaner 10 provided in an embodiment of this application. The ultrasonic cleaner 10 of this application can be used for ultrasonic cleaning of accessories in the textile industry, such as buttons.

[0036] To more clearly illustrate the structure of the ultrasonic cleaner 10, the ultrasonic cleaner 10 will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] For example, please refer to Figure 1As shown, an ultrasonic cleaner 10 includes a loading / unloading platform 100, a cleaning tank 200, a guide mechanism 300, a first drive mechanism 400, a basket 500, a swing mechanism 600, and a second drive mechanism 700. The guide mechanism 300 is disposed between the loading / unloading platform 100 and the cleaning tank 200, with one end extending to the loading / unloading platform 100 and the other end extending to the cleaning tank 200. The basket 500 is movably connected to the guide mechanism 300. The first drive mechanism 400 can drive the basket 500 to move up and down and slide horizontally along the guide mechanism 300. The swing mechanism 600 is movably connected inside the cleaning tank 200. The second drive mechanism 700 is connected to the swing mechanism 600 to drive the swing mechanism 600 to swing the basket 500 located inside the cleaning tank 200.

[0038] In some of these embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the ultrasonic cleaner 10 also includes a rope 800 and a sliding seat 900. One end of the rope 800 is connected to the sliding seat 900 and the other end is connected to the basket 500. The sliding seat 900 is slidably connected to the guide mechanism 300. The first drive mechanism 400 can drive the rope 800 to extend and retract, and drive the sliding seat 900 to slide horizontally along the guide mechanism 300.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first drive mechanism 400 includes a winding motor 401 mounted on a slide seat 900 and connected to a rope 800 for driving the rope 800 to extend and wind up.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first drive mechanism 400 includes a sliding wheel and a sliding drive motor 402. The sliding seat 900 is slidably connected to the guide mechanism 300 through a plurality of sliding wheels. The sliding drive motor 402 is mounted on the sliding seat 900 and is connected to at least one sliding wheel for driving the sliding wheel to move.

[0041] In some of these embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the guiding mechanism 300 includes a guide rail 301 and a bracket 302. The guide rail 301 is mounted above the loading / unloading platform 100 and the washing tank 200 via at least one bracket 302.

In addition, by setting an abutment between the crank rocker arm and the basket 500, the periodic oscillation of the crank rocker arm under the drive of the second drive mechanism 700 can also drive the basket 500 to oscillate.

[0044] In some embodiments, the second drive mechanism 700 is a motor.

[0045] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic cleaner 10 further includes a liquid level detection mechanism. The liquid level detection mechanism is disposed within the cleaning tank 200 and is used to detect the liquid level within the cleaning tank 200. The liquid level detection mechanism is not shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0049] In some embodiments, the alarm mechanism includes one or more of a flashing light, a buzzer, and a vibrator. The buzzer, flashing light, and vibrator provide auditory, visual, and tactile alerts to personnel. A buzzer is an electronic device that emits a sound signal, commonly used for reminders or warnings; its working principle is based on electromagnetic or piezoelectric effects. Examples include electromagnetic buzzers, which generate sound by passing an electric current through a coil to create a magnetic field, driving a diaphragm to vibrate; and piezoelectric buzzers, which generate sound by utilizing the deformation of piezoelectric materials under an applied voltage. A flashing light is a visual signaling device that attracts attention or conveys information through intermittent on / off switching. Its main components include a light source (such as an LED), control circuitry, and a power supply. Flashing lights have a wide range of applications, such as: safety warnings: used at construction sites, on roads, or other places where attention is needed; emergency alarms: as part of fire alarm systems or as emergency lights on vehicles; and decorative lighting: used for dynamic effects in holiday decorations or commercial displays. A vibrator is a device that generates mechanical vibrations, typically used for tactile feedback or signal cues.

[0050] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic cleaner 10 further includes a control mechanism 1000. The control mechanism 1000 is electrically connected to the first drive mechanism 400 and the second drive mechanism 700. The control mechanism 1000 may be a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).

[0051] The controller includes a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). A PLC is a digital electronic system specifically designed for industrial applications. It uses a programmable memory to perform functions such as logic operations, sequential control, timing, counting, and arithmetic operations, and controls various types of machinery or production processes through digital or analog input / output modules. The basic components of a PLC include: a Central Processing Unit (CPU): This is the core of the PLC, responsible for executing user programs, processing data, and communicating with external devices. Input / output modules (I / O modules): These connect the PLC to various devices in the industrial field, such as sensors, switches, and drives. Input modules receive information from field devices, while output modules send instructions to the actuators. A power supply module: Provides a stable operating voltage for the PLC. A programming device: Typically a personal computer, where engineers use specific programming software to write, debug, and upload programs to the PLC. A communication interface: Supports data exchange with other PLCs or host computers, facilitating the implementation of distributed control systems.

[0052] The aforementioned ultrasonic cleaner 10 can automatically raise and lower the button hopper and perform ultrasonic cleaning, solving the problem of wasted manpower in traditional technologies and improving the overall efficiency of the process. This application controls the raising and lowering of the basket 500 via a first drive mechanism 400, eliminating the need for manual transport by arm strength. The first drive mechanism 400 then automatically sends the basket 500 to the cleaning tank 200 along the guide mechanism 300. Under the agitation of the swing mechanism 600 in the cleaning tank 200, the buttons in the button hopper are shaken up and down for uniform cleaning, thus achieving the functions of button collection, automatic raising and lowering, and ultrasonic cleaning.
