Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a cleaning device, and more particularly to a washing apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] During the assembly of finished mobile phones, if dust particles are present on the camera module, vibrations and other factors can cause these particles to remain on the lens surface, affecting photo taking. This necessitates disassembling and reassembling the phone to clean the camera module, severely impacting production quality and efficiency. Currently, there is no standardized, systematic equipment for cleaning camera modules; workers rely on wiping or rinsing with isopropyl alcohol solution, which is inefficient. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more efficient device for cleaning camera modules. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.
[0004] The solution to the technical problem of this utility model is:
[0005] A cleaning device includes: a rotating mechanism having a rotatable rotating plate, the rotation axis of the rotating plate extending in a vertical direction, a fixing unit connected to the top side of the rotating plate, and multiple fixing units arranged around the center of the rotating plate; a positioning fixture including a fixture base plate and a fixture cover plate, multiple workpiece slots provided on the top side of the fixture base plate, the fixture cover plate connected to the top side of the fixture base plate, and clearance holes provided on the fixture cover plate opposite to the multiple workpiece slots, the fixture base plate being connectable to any one of the fixing units; and a spraying mechanism located above the rotating plate, the spraying mechanism being able to spray towards the positioning fixture.
[0006] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: Multiple workpiece slots for placing products such as camera modules are provided on the top side of the fixture base plate. When the fixture cover plate is connected to the fixture base plate, multiple products can protrude from the clearance holes opened on the fixture cover plate, thus avoiding the protruding structure of the product itself. The fixture cover plate can also partially block the product, preventing the product from detaching upwards from the fixture cover plate. Then, the fixture base plate is connected to a fixing unit, and multiple positioning fixtures can be installed in these multiple fixing units. Each positioning fixture... The unit can hold multiple products to be cleaned. The spraying mechanism sprays the products onto the positioning fixtures from above. As the rotating plate drives the multiple positioning fixtures to rotate, the products inside the multiple positioning fixtures can be sprayed and cleaned. After completion, the positioning fixtures are removed from the positioning unit, and the top cover and bottom plate of the fixtures are separated. The bottom plate of the fixtures, along with the multiple products, can then be transferred to the next workstation. The operation is convenient. Therefore, by spraying and cleaning multiple camera modules and other products simultaneously, the cleaning efficiency and convenience of the products are greatly improved, which is conducive to improving production quality.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a positioning post is connected to the top side of the fixture base plate, and a positioning hole is provided on the fixture cover plate to cooperate with the positioning post. When the fixture cover plate and the fixture base plate are connected to each other, the mutual alignment of the positioning post and the positioning hole can improve the tightness of the connection between the fixture cover plate and the fixture base plate, and prevent relative displacement between the fixture cover plate and the fixture base plate during cleaning.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, at least one magnet is housed on the top side of the fixture base plate, and the fixture cover plate is magnetically connected to the magnet. Because the fixture base plate is equipped with a magnet, the fixture base plate and the fixture cover plate attract each other magnetically, enhancing the connection force between them in the vertical direction, thereby further increasing the stability after they are connected.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the fixing unit includes a connecting rod connected to the top side of the rotating plate and limiting rods connected to both ends of the connecting rod. Positioning grooves are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the two limiting rods, and the two sides of the fixture base plate are respectively embedded into the two positioning grooves. The connecting rod and the two limiting rods at its ends form a frame-shaped limiting area. When the fixture base plate is installed into the fixing unit, its two sides are inserted into the positioning grooves of the two limiting rods, which quickly positions the fixture base plate within the fixing unit. Similarly, after cleaning, the fixture base plate can be easily removed from the positioning grooves of the two limiting rods. The operation is convenient.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, limiting stops are respectively provided on the top sides of the two limiting rods, and the two limiting stops extend to the upper sides of the fixture base plate. In the limiting rods, a groove structure is formed between the limiting stops and the positioning groove to limit the side of the fixture base plate. When installing the fixture base plate, the side of the fixture base plate is inserted into this groove structure, which can effectively prevent the fixture cover plate from coming off due to centrifugal force, further improving the overall stability of use.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the two sides of the fixture base plate are respectively connected to the two positioning slots by snap-fit connections. When the fixture base plate is installed into the positioning slots of the two limiting rods, the snap-fit connection between the two positioning slots on both sides of the fixture base plate can restrict the sliding of the fixture base plate within the two limiting rods, thereby further improving the stability of the fixture base plate during rotation.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, this utility model also includes a bottom ring, with the rotating plate located inside the bottom ring and capable of rotating relative to the bottom ring. The bottom ring can be used to connect to a fixed structure of an external device, and the rotating plate's rotatable connection within the bottom ring improves the stability of the rotating plate during rotation and reduces vibrations generated during operation.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, this utility model also includes a cover, in which a downward-facing chamber is formed, and the bottom side of the cover abuts against the top side of the bottom ring. During spray cleaning, the rotating plate drives multiple positioning fixtures to rotate within the chamber, and the spraying mechanism sprays water within the chamber. The cover can block and protect the solution splashing in all directions during spraying, thereby improving the overall cleanliness of the cleaning process.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the rotating plate is provided with multiple through holes. Wastewater from the spray cleaning can flow downwards out of the rotating plate through these through holes, reducing wastewater accumulation on the rotating plate.
[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the spraying mechanism includes a spray pipe, and at least one spray head is provided along the length of the bottom side of the spray pipe. The spray coverage shape of at least one spray head is conical. The spray pipe is connected to an external water supply pump, which supplies spray solution to multiple spray heads. At this time, the multiple spray heads spray the solution onto the positioning fixture, and the spray heads spray downwards in a conical shape, effectively increasing the spray coverage range and ensuring that multiple products in the positioning fixture are sprayed and cleaned simultaneously.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A cleaning device includes a rotating mechanism 100, a positioning fixture 200, and a spraying mechanism 300. The rotating mechanism 100 has a rotatable rotating plate 110, the rotation axis of which extends vertically. A fixing unit 120 is connected to the top side of the rotating plate 110. Multiple fixing units 120 are arranged around the center of the rotating plate 110. In practical applications, the rotating mechanism 100 contains a drive source, such as a motor, that can drive the rotating plate 110. The motor drives the rotating plate 110, thereby causing it to rotate along its vertical axis. The number of fixing units 120 can be set according to factors such as the size of the positioning fixture 200 and the number of products to be cleaned simultaneously. For example, the number of fixing units 120 can be three, four, or five. The positioning fixture 200 includes a fixture base plate 210 and a fixture cover plate 220. The top side of the fixture base plate 210 is provided with multiple workpiece slots 211. The fixture cover plate 220 is connected to the top side of the fixture base plate 210. The fixture cover plate 220 has clearance holes 221 at positions opposite to the multiple workpiece slots 211. The fixture base plate 210 can be connected to any of the fixing units 120. In practical applications, raised support ribs are formed at the bottom of the side walls of the multiple workpiece slots 211, which can be used to support and position the product placed in the workpiece slot 211, thus improving the stability of the product placed in the workpiece slot 211. A spraying mechanism 300 is located above the rotating plate 110 and can spray water towards the positioning fixture 200.
[0025] As described above, multiple workpiece slots 211 for placing products such as camera modules are provided on the top side of the fixture base plate 210. When the fixture cover plate 220 is connected to the fixture base plate 210, multiple products can protrude from the clearance holes 221 opened on the fixture cover plate 220, thereby avoiding the protruding structure of the product itself. The fixture cover plate 220 can also block part of the product, thereby preventing the product from coming off the fixture cover plate 220 upwards. Then, the fixture base plate 210 is connected to the fixing unit 120. In this way, multiple positioning fixtures 200 can be installed in the multiple fixing units 120 respectively. Multiple products to be cleaned can be loaded into the positioning unit 200. The spraying mechanism 300 sprays the positioning fixture 200 from above. As the rotating plate 110 drives the multiple positioning fixtures 200 to rotate, the products in the multiple positioning fixtures 200 can be sprayed and cleaned. After completion, the positioning fixtures 200 are removed from the positioning unit, and the top cover of the fixture and the bottom plate of the fixture are separated from each other. The bottom plate of the fixture 210 along with the multiple products can then be transferred to the next work station. The operation is convenient. Therefore, by spraying and cleaning multiple camera modules and other products at the same time, the cleaning efficiency and convenience of the products are greatly improved, which is conducive to improving production quality.
[0026] When connecting the fixture cover plate 220 and the fixture base plate 210, to facilitate quick alignment of the fixture cover plate 220 and the fixture base plate 210, in this embodiment, a positioning post 212 is connected to the top side of the fixture base plate 210, and a positioning hole 222 is provided on the fixture cover plate 220 to cooperate with the positioning post 212. For example, two positioning posts 212 can be spaced apart along the length of the fixture base plate 210. In this case, positioning holes 222 are also provided on the fixture cover plate 220 at positions opposite to the two positioning posts 212, thereby achieving a quick and stable connection between the two. When connecting the fixture cover plate 220 and the fixture base plate 210, the mutual alignment of the positioning post 212 and the positioning hole 222 can improve the tightness of the connection between the fixture cover plate 220 and the fixture base plate 210 and prevent relative displacement between the fixture cover plate 220 and the fixture base plate 210 during cleaning.
[0027] To further improve the tightness of the connection between the fixture base plate 210 and the fixture cover plate 220, in this embodiment, at least one magnet 213 is housed on the top side of the fixture base plate 210, and the fixture cover plate 220 is magnetically connected to the magnet 213. For example, the fixture base plate 210 may be made of a magnetic material, or multiple magnets may be installed on the fixture base plate 210, while the fixture cover plate 220 may be made of a magnetically conductive material such as metal. When the fixture cover plate 220 is placed on the fixture base plate 210, the fixture cover plate 220 will be magnetically attracted to the fixture base plate 210. Thus, because the fixture base plate 210 is equipped with the magnet 213, the fixture base plate 210 and the fixture cover plate 220 are attracted to each other magnetically, which enhances the connection force between them in the vertical direction, thereby further increasing the stability after they are connected.
[0028] The fixing unit 120 is mainly used for the installation and positioning of the fixture base plate 210. Naturally, the fixture base plate 210 can be disassembled from the fixing unit 120 to replace the fixture base plate 210. Specifically, the fixing unit 120 includes a connecting rod 121 connected to the top side of the rotating plate 110 and a limiting rod 122 connected to both ends of the connecting rod 121. The two limiting rods 122 are respectively provided with positioning grooves 123 on their opposite sides, and the two sides of the fixture base plate 210 are respectively embedded in the two positioning grooves 123. The connecting rod 121 and the two limiting rods 122 at both ends form a frame-shaped limiting area. When the fixture base plate 210 is installed into the fixing unit 120, its two sides are inserted into the positioning grooves 123 of the two limiting rods 122 respectively, so that the fixture base plate 210 can be quickly positioned in the fixing unit 120. Similarly, after cleaning, the fixture base plate 210 can be removed from the positioning grooves 123 of the two limiting rods 122. The operation is convenient.
[0029] To prevent the fixture base plate 210 from detaching upwards between the two limiting rods 122, in this embodiment, limiting flanges 124 are respectively provided on the top sides of the two limiting rods 122, and the two limiting flanges 124 extend to the upper sides of the fixture base plate 210. In the limiting rods 122, the limiting flanges 124 and the positioning grooves 123 form a groove structure that limits the side of the fixture base plate 210. When installing the fixture base plate 210, the side of the fixture base plate 210 is inserted into the groove structure, which can effectively prevent the fixture cover plate 220 from detaching due to centrifugal force, further improving the overall stability of use.
[0030] Furthermore, the two sides of the fixture base plate 210 are respectively connected to the two positioning grooves 123 by snap-fit connections. For example, a locking block is provided in each of the two positioning grooves 123, and a locking slot is provided on each of the two sides of the fixture base plate 210. When the two sides of the fixture base plate 210 are inserted into the two positioning grooves 123, the locking block and the locking slot are correspondingly engaged. When the fixture base plate 210 is inserted into the positioning grooves 123 of the two limiting rods 122, the snap-fit connection between the two positioning grooves 123 on both sides of the fixture base plate 210 can restrict the sliding of the fixture base plate 210 within the two limiting rods 122, thereby further improving the stability of the fixture base plate 210 during rotation. In some embodiments, the fixture base plate 210 can also be connected to the connecting rod 121 by snap-fit connections to achieve positioning of the fixture base plate 210 during insertion.
[0031] This utility model also includes a bottom ring 400, and the rotating plate 110 is located inside the bottom ring 400. The rotating plate 110 is rotatable relative to the bottom plate. For example, a bearing or bushing or other rotatable connection structure can be provided between the inner side of the bottom ring 400 and the rotating plate 110, so that the rotating plate 110 is rotatably connected within the bottom ring 400. The bottom ring 400 can be used to connect to a fixed structure of an external device, and the rotatable connection of the rotating plate 110 within the bottom ring 400 can improve the stability of the rotating plate 110 during rotation and reduce vibration generated during operation.
[0032] This utility model also includes a cover 500, which has a downward-facing chamber. The bottom side of the cover 500 abuts against the top side of the bottom ring 400. In practical applications, an annular groove that mates with the bottom side of the cover 500 can be provided on the top side of the bottom ring 400. When the cover 500 is placed on the top side of the bottom ring 400, the cover 500 can be quickly installed on the top side of the bottom ring 400 through the interaction between the bottom side of the cover 500 and the annular groove. During spray cleaning, the rotating plate 110 drives multiple positioning fixtures 200 to rotate within the chamber, and the spraying mechanism 300 sprays within the chamber. The cover 500 can block and protect the solution splashing in all directions during spraying, improving the overall cleanliness of the cleaning process. In practical applications, if a hole needs to be opened on one side of the cover 500, the spraying mechanism 300 can be inserted into the cover 500 through the opened hole, thereby achieving water circulation between the inside and outside of the cover 500.
[0033] In some embodiments, the rotating plate 110 is provided with a plurality of through holes 111. The through holes 111 can be located in the gap between two adjacent positioning fixtures 200, or they can be located directly opposite the positioning fixture 200, thereby facilitating the direct downward flow of wastewater. Wastewater after spray cleaning can flow downward through the multiple through holes 111 and exit the rotating plate 110, reducing the accumulation of wastewater on the rotating plate 110.
[0034] The spraying mechanism 300 is used to spray a solution onto the positioning fixture 200. For example, it sprays an isopropanol solution into the positioning fixture 200. The isopropanol solution evaporates quickly after cleaning the product. Combined with the rotation of the rotating plate 110, the solution can be further dried, resulting in a good cleaning effect. As a specific structural embodiment of the spraying mechanism 300, the spraying mechanism 300 includes a spray pipe 310. At least one spray head 320 is provided along the length of the bottom side of the spray pipe 310. The spray coverage shape of at least one spray head 320 is conical. In practical applications, the cover 500 has holes to allow the spray pipe 310 to pass, facilitating the removal, placement, and disassembly of the cover 500. The spray coverage shape of multiple spray heads 320 can all be conical. The spray pipe 310 is connected to an external water pump, and the spray solution is supplied to multiple spray heads 320 through the spray pipe 310. At this time, the multiple spray heads 320 spray the solution onto the positioning fixture 200, and the spray heads 320 spray downward in a cone shape to cover the area, effectively increasing the spray coverage range, thereby ensuring that multiple products in the positioning fixture 200 are sprayed and cleaned at the same time.
[0035] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
