[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cleaning machine for cleaning optical lenses, including a bracket 1, and a transport mechanism for transporting optical lenses is provided above the bracket 1; the transport mechanism includes a first conveyor 2, which is provided above the bracket 1, and a first baffle 3 is provided above the first conveyor 2. A first mounting hole 4 is provided on the surface of the first baffle 3 and penetrates through the first baffle 3.
[0023] Above the transport mechanism is a holding mechanism for holding optical lenses; the holding mechanism includes a material frame 5, which is positioned above the first conveyor 2 at the conveying end of the first conveyor 2, and a first through hole 6 is provided on the surface of the material frame 5. The first through hole 6 facilitates the cleaning of the optical lenses by the ultrasonic waves emitted by the ultrasonic generator plate 14 after the material frame 5 enters the cleaning box 7.
[0024] A cleaning mechanism for cleaning optical lenses is provided on one side of the transport mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning box 7, which is located on one side of the first conveyor 2. Inside the cleaning box 7 is a placement plate 8, with a second through hole 9 on its surface. A connecting rod 10 is located at the top of the placement plate 8, and a traction rope 11 is located at the top of the support 1. A first electric guide rail 12 is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning box 7, with a mounting block 13 on the moving end of the first electric guide rail 12. The top of the mounting block 13 is connected to the end of the traction rope 11 furthest from the connecting rod 10. An ultrasonic generating plate 14 is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning box 7, and a support rod 15 is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning box 7. A mounting plate 16 is located at the top of the support rod 15, and a second electric guide rail 17 is located at the bottom of the mounting plate 16. A servo cylinder 18 is located at the moving end of the second electric guide rail 17, and a push block 19 is located at the output end of the servo cylinder 18. The second through hole 9 facilitates the removal of cleaning residue from the bottom of the cleaning box 7.
[0025] During the actual cleaning of optical lenses, the moving end of the first electric guide rail 12 descends, causing the mounting block 13 to move downwards, thereby lifting the placement plate 8 with the traction rope 11 and transporting the material frame 5 from the first conveyor 2 to above the placement plate 8. The moving end of the second electric guide rail 17 moves above the material frame 5, and the output end of the servo cylinder 18 extends, causing the push block 19 to contact the material frame 5. The output end of the servo cylinder 18 then resets. Then, the moving end of the second electric guide rail 17 moves so that the material frame 5 is directly above the placement plate 8. The moving end of the first electric guide rail 12 rises, causing the mounting block 13 to move upwards, thereby lowering the placement plate 8 with the traction rope 11. The ultrasonic generating plate 14 then cleans the optical lenses inside the material frame 5. After cleaning, the moving end of the first electric guide rail 12 descends, causing the mounting block 13 to move downwards, thereby lifting the placement plate 8 with the traction rope 11. The moving end of the second electric guide rail 17 moves to one side of the material frame 5, and the output end of the servo cylinder 18 extends, causing the push block 19 to contact the material frame 5 and push it to the second conveyor 28 for the next step.
[0026] The outer wall of the cleaning mechanism is equipped with an inlet / outlet mechanism for the entry and exit of optical lens cleaning fluid. The outlet mechanism includes an inlet 20 located on the outer wall of the cleaning box 7. An inlet pipe 21 is located on the outer wall of the cleaning box 7, corresponding to the inlet 20. A first valve 22 is located above the inlet pipe 21. A first flange 23 is located at the end of the inlet pipe 21 away from the cleaning box 7. An outlet 24 is located on the side of the cleaning box 7 away from the inlet 20. An outlet pipe 25 is located on the side of the cleaning box 7 away from the inlet pipe 21, corresponding to the outlet 24. A second valve 26 is located above the outlet pipe 25. A second flange 27 is located at the end of the outlet pipe 25 away from the cleaning box 7. The first flange 23 and the second flange 27 facilitate connection to pipelines. When fluid needs to be introduced, the first valve 22 is opened and the second valve 26 is closed until the liquid reaches the level that submerges the optical lens to be cleaned. When draining fluid, the second valve 26 is opened and the first valve 22 is closed.
[0027] A drying mechanism for drying the cleaned optical lenses is located on the side of the cleaning mechanism away from the transport mechanism. The drying mechanism includes a second conveyor 28, positioned on the side of the cleaning box 7 away from the first conveyor 2. A second baffle 29 is positioned above the second conveyor 28, and a drying chamber 30 is positioned above the second baffle 29.

An air hood 33 is installed on the top of the drying chamber 30, and a connecting pipe 34 is located above the air hood 33. A fan 35 is installed at the end of the connecting pipe 34 away from the air hood 33. A second mounting hole 36 is opened on one side of the second baffle 29 and extends through it. When it is necessary to dry the optical lenses after ultrasonic cleaning, the heating rod 31 is turned on to raise the temperature inside the drying chamber 30, thereby drying the liquid on the surface of the optical lenses. Start the exhaust fan 35 so that the moisture inside the drying oven 30 enters the exhaust hood 33 through the air inlet 32, reaches the connecting pipe 34, and is discharged by the exhaust fan 35.
[0028] A limiting mechanism for restricting the position of the holding mechanism is provided on one side of the transport mechanism. The limiting mechanism includes a first fixing block 37, which is located on one side of the first conveyor 2. A first cylinder 38 is located above the first fixing block 37, and a first stop block 39 is located at the output end of the first cylinder 38. The first stop block 39 is adapted to the first mounting hole 4. A second fixing block 40 is located on one side of the second conveyor 28, and a second cylinder 41 is located above the second fixing block 40. A second stop block 42 is located at the output end of the second cylinder 41, and the second stop block 42 is adapted to the second mounting hole 36. When there is a material frame 5 inside the cleaning box 7, the first cylinder 38 extends and drives the first stop block 39 to prevent the material frame 5 from entering the conveying end of the first conveyor 2. When there is a material frame 5 inside the drying box 30, the second cylinder 41 extends and drives the second stop block 42 to prevent the material frame 5 from flowing out of the second conveyor 28. When there is no material frame 5 inside the drying oven 30, the moving end of the second electric guide rail 17 will move to one side of the material frame 5, and the output end of the servo cylinder 18 will extend to drive the push block 19 to contact the material frame 5 and push it to the second conveyor 28 for the next step.
