[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.
[0019] This utility model discloses a water-saving lens cleaning machine for lens processing. The water-saving lens cleaning machine mainly includes a frame 1, a cleaning tank 2, a filter box 3, a water pump 4, a return pipe 5, a spray pipe 6, cleaning racks 7, a support base 8, a rotating shaft 9, a transmission shaft 10, a motor 11, and an overflow plate 12. The cleaning tank 2 is mounted on the frame 1, and the support base 8 is installed inside the cleaning tank 2. The rotating shaft 9 is mounted on the support base 8, and cleaning racks 7 for positioning lenses are equidistantly mounted on the rotating shaft 9 along the axial direction. One end of the transmission shaft 10 is mounted on the support base 8 and meshes with a driven bevel gear at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 9 via a driving bevel gear; the other end... A motor 11 is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 2 and is connected to the drive shaft 10 for transmission. A filter box 3 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2. A filter screen connected to the filter box 3 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2. The interior of the filter box 3 is divided into a sedimentation zone 301 and a filtration zone 302 by an overflow plate 12. An activated carbon filter layer 303 is provided in the filtration zone 302. A water pump 4 is installed on the frame 1. The inlet of the water pump 4 is connected to the filtration zone 302 of the filter box 3. One end of the return pipe 5 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 4, and the other end passes through the top of the cleaning tank 2 and is evenly connected to a spray pipe 6. Multiple spray heads 601 are evenly arranged along the axial direction on the spray pipe 6.
[0020] The lenses to be cleaned are placed and fixed on the cleaning rack 7. After placement, the motor 11 is started. The motor 11 drives the active bevel gear to rotate through the transmission shaft 10. The active bevel gear meshes with the driven bevel gear, thereby driving the rotating shaft 9 and the cleaning rack 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the lenses on the cleaning rack 7 to rotate. Then, the water pump 4 is started. The water pump 4 delivers the cleaning solution in the filter box 3 to the spray pipe 6 through the return pipe 5, and sprays it evenly from multiple spray nozzles on the spray pipe 6 to rinse the lenses from all directions, effectively removing dust, grease and other contaminants from the lens surface. During the rotation of the lenses, the wastewater after cleaning flows into the sedimentation zone 301 of the filter box 3 through the filter screen at the bottom of the cleaning box 2, causing impurities and particles to settle. After sedimentation, the supernatant flows into the filter zone 302 through the overflow plate 12, and further adsorbs and filters the tiny impurities and harmful substances in the wastewater through the activated carbon filter layer 303. The purified cleaning solution is then pumped out again by the water pump 4 and delivered to the spray pipe 6 through the return pipe 5 for recycling. This invention uses a filter box 3 to filter and settle the wastewater after cleaning, and then recycles it into the spray pipe 6 to form a closed-loop water circulation system. At the same time, it is used in conjunction with a rotatable cleaning rack 7 to achieve efficient cleaning of lenses and recycling of water resources, thereby reducing production costs and improving cleaning quality.
[0021] The cleaning rack 7 includes support rods 701, positioning rings 702, support rings 703, and support blocks 704. Support rods 701 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the rotating shaft 9. Support blocks 704 are equidistantly arranged on the support rods 701. Each set of support blocks 704 has a positioning ring 702 of corresponding diameter. Positioning grooves 7021 for fixing lenses are equidistantly opened along the circumference of the positioning rings 702. Support rings 703 of different diameters are arranged on the horizontal section of the support rods 701, and the support rings 703 are located directly below adjacent positioning rings 702. Slots 7031 are evenly opened along the circumference of the support rings 703. The operator inserts the lenses to be cleaned one by one into the positioning grooves 7021 between the positioning rings 702. The positioning grooves 7021 and slots 7031 cooperate with the edges of the lenses to limit and fix them. The cleaning rack 7 can fix multiple lenses simultaneously and rotate the lenses during the cleaning process, thereby achieving all-round rinsing of the lenses.
[0022] The filter box 3 has a drain outlet 304 with a valve at the bottom and a water supply outlet 305 on the side wall. Wastewater is discharged by opening the drain outlet 304 periodically as needed, and new water is added through the water supply outlet 305 to ensure the normal operation and filtration effect of the filter box 3.
[0023] The cleaning chamber 2 has a hinged door on its side wall, which is fastened to the cleaning chamber 2 by fasteners. This allows operators to easily place lenses that need cleaning into the cleaning chamber 2 or remove lenses that have been cleaned. It also facilitates cleaning, inspection and maintenance of the interior of the cleaning chamber 2.
[0024] The inner walls of the positioning groove 7021 and the slot 7031 are provided with rubber pads; the rubber pads can increase the contact force between the lens and the positioning groove 7021 and the slot 7031, prevent the lens from sliding in the positioning groove 7021 and the slot 7031, ensure the stability of the lens during the cleaning process, and at the same time, protect the surface quality of the lens and reduce wear and scratches on the lens during fixing and rotation.
[0025] Work process:
[0026] During operation, the operator opens the movable door and inserts the lenses to be cleaned one by one into the positioning grooves 7021 between the positioning rings 702. The positioning grooves 7021 and the locking grooves 7031 engage with the edges of the lenses to limit and fix them. Next, the motor 11 is started. The motor 11 drives the driving bevel gear to rotate through the transmission shaft 10. The driving bevel gear meshes with the driven bevel gear, thereby driving the rotating shaft 9 and the cleaning rack 7 to rotate, which in turn causes the lenses on the cleaning rack 7 to rotate. Then, the water pump 4 is started. The water pump 4 delivers the cleaning solution in the filter box 3 to the spray pipe 6 through the return pipe 5, and sprays it from the spray pipe 6. Multiple spray nozzles on the spray pipe 6 spray evenly, rinsing the lens from all directions and effectively removing dust, grease, and other contaminants from the lens surface. During lens rotation, the cleaning wastewater flows through the filter screen at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2 into the sedimentation zone 301 of the filter tank 3, causing impurities and particulate matter to settle. After sedimentation, the supernatant flows through the overflow plate 12 into the filter zone 302, where it is further adsorbed and filtered by the activated carbon filter layer 303 to remove minute impurities and harmful substances. The purified cleaning solution is then pumped back by the water pump 4 and transported back to the spray pipe 6 through the return pipe 5 for recycling. This invention uses the filter tank 3 to filter and settle the cleaning wastewater before recycling it back to the spray pipe 6, forming a closed-loop water circulation system. Combined with the rotatable cleaning rack 7, it achieves efficient lens cleaning and water resource recycling, reducing production costs and improving cleaning quality.
[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
