Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic oscillator technology, and specifically to a glassware fixing device for ultrasonic oscillators. Background Technology

[0002] An ultrasonic oscillator is a device that uses ultrasonic technology to generate high-frequency vibrations. It utilizes the high-frequency sound waves of ultrasound to generate oscillations, which can be used to stir solutions or clean glassware. Ultrasonic oscillators primarily operate based on the piezoelectric effect. They typically contain a piezoelectric transducer. When an alternating electric field is applied to the piezoelectric transducer, the properties of the piezoelectric material cause it to undergo mechanical deformation. This mechanical deformation vibrates at the frequency of the ultrasound waves, thus generating ultrasonic waves. These ultrasonic waves propagate through a medium (such as air or liquid), causing violent vibrations of the medium's molecules during propagation. This allows glassware to be cleaned within the liquid medium inside the ultrasonic oscillator.

[0003] Glassware includes beakers, flasks, and glasses. Glassware fixing devices are used to secure glassware during the cleaning process inside an ultrasonic oscillator, ensuring the stability of the glassware's position during the cleaning process, preventing collisions between glassware, and thus protecting the glassware.

[0004] While existing fixing devices offer numerous advantages during use, they still suffer from several drawbacks. Their cleaning capabilities are inadequate. Because the vessel remains in a stable position after fixing, residual liquid remains on its surface after cleaning by the liquid medium inside the ultrasonic oscillator. This makes it difficult for operators to handle the vessel properly. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems in the prior art, this utility model provides a glassware fixing device for an ultrasonic oscillator.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a glassware fixing device for an ultrasonic oscillator, including an oscillator body, a support plate and an annular cover. A cleaning groove is opened on the upper outer wall of the oscillator body. A fixing frame is screwed to the upper outer wall of the oscillator body. Support plates are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the fixing frame. A screw is rotatably installed inside the support plate. A linkage plate is screwed to the lower outer wall of the screw. An annular cover is provided on the lower outer wall of the linkage plate. A storage basket is screwed to the inside of the annular cover. A cover plate is threaded to the upper end of the inner wall of the storage basket.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the cleaning tank can hold cleaning fluid for ultrasonic cleaning, and the fixing frame supports the support plate. The rotation of the screw can adjust the height of the linkage plate and the annular cover to adapt to different height requirements, allowing the annular cover to enter or leave the cleaning tank. This facilitates the handling of glassware and ensures efficient handling. When the screw rotates, it drives the annular cover to rotate through the linkage plate. The centrifugal force generated on the basket separates the liquid remaining on the outer wall of the glassware inside the basket and drains it through the drain hole. The annular cover blocks the liquid from spreading and allows it to fall back into the cleaning tank. The basket inside the annular cover is used to place the glassware, and the cover provides some protection for the glassware. The pressure exerted by the silicone pad on the glassware inside the basket ensures relative stability during the cleaning and spin-drying process, preventing damage to the glassware.

[0008] Specifically, a screw hole is provided on one side of the upper outer wall of the fixing frame, and the screw is threaded into the screw hole.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the screw can be stably installed on the fixed frame through the screw hole. When the drive motor drives the screw to rotate, the screw can move up and down smoothly in the screw hole, thereby accurately controlling the lifting and lowering of the linkage plate, the lower annular cover and the storage basket, and ensuring the stable realization of the height adjustment function.

[0010] Specifically, the outer walls of both sides of the support plate are screwed with limit rods, and the outer walls of both sides of the fixing frame are provided with through holes adapted to the limit rods, with the limit rods located inside the through holes.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting rod, in conjunction with the through hole, plays a good guiding and limiting role. When the screw rotates and drives the support plate to move up and down, the limiting rod moves within the through hole, which can prevent the support plate from shifting or shaking during the movement, ensuring the stability of the entire device when adjusting the height.

[0012] Specifically, a drive motor for providing power is provided through one end of the outer wall of the support plate, the screw is connected to the screw by a coupling, and the drive motor is screwed to the upper outer wall of the support plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor is controlled by the matching controller. The drive motor provides power for the rotation of the screw, and since the lower end of the screw protrudes from the support plate and is connected to the linkage plate, the rotation of the screw can drive the linkage plate to rotate accordingly.

[0014] Specifically, the outer walls on both sides of the annular cover are rotatably fitted with buckles, the linkage plate is located at the lower end of the support plate, and the upper outer walls of the linkage plate are provided with slots on both sides, with the buckles snapped into the slots.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the snap-fit ​​force between the buckle and the slot makes the connection between the ring cover and the linkage plate firm and easy to disassemble. When it is necessary to clean the ring cover and the storage basket, the buckle can be easily rotated to release the connection.

[0016] Specifically, the upper surface of the storage basket is lower than the upper surface of the annular cover, and the outer wall of the storage basket is provided with a circular array of drainage holes.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the height restriction is used to limit the discharge of residual liquid inside the storage basket, so that the annular cover can block the liquid that is thrown out, prevent the liquid from spreading, and ensure that the liquid during the cleaning process can flow back to the cleaning tank along the annular cover. During the ultrasonic cleaning process, the cleaning fluid can smoothly enter the storage basket to clean the glassware, and after cleaning, it can be quickly discharged through the drain hole, improving cleaning efficiency and ensuring cleaning effect.

[0018] Specifically, a silicone pad for providing compressive force is bonded and fixed to the lower outer wall of the cover plate, and the silicone pad is located inside the storage basket.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cover is installed on the storage basket, the silicone pad can provide squeezing force to the glassware. On the one hand, the silicone pad is soft and can avoid causing hard damage to the glassware; on the other hand, the squeezing force can make the glassware more securely fixed in the storage basket. When the staff places the glassware inside the storage basket, the open end of the glassware faces the inner wall of the storage basket, which facilitates the discharge of residual liquid from the inner wall of the glassware during the subsequent spin-drying process.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] (1) The glassware fixing device for ultrasonic oscillator described in this utility model can drive the annular cover to rotate through the linkage plate. The centrifugal force generated on the storage basket can separate the liquid remaining on the outer wall of the glassware inside the storage basket and discharge it through the drain hole. The annular cover blocks the liquid that comes out, preventing the liquid from spreading, reducing the amount of liquid residue on the outer wall of the glassware, reducing the amount of cleaning liquid loss, and making it easier for subsequent staff to pick up the glassware.

[0022] (2) The glassware fixing device for ultrasonic oscillator described in this utility model has a cover plate that can provide certain protection for the glassware, and the squeezing force of the silicone pad on the glassware inside the basket can ensure the relative stability of the glassware during the washing and spin-drying process, and avoid damage to the glassware.

[0029] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0030] To save manpower and improve efficiency, as one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the glassware fixing device for an ultrasonic oscillator of this utility model includes an oscillator body 1, a support plate 2, and an annular cover 3. A cleaning groove 11 is provided on the upper outer wall of the oscillator body 1. A fixing frame 12 is screwed to the upper outer wall of the oscillator body 1. Support plates 2 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the fixing frame 12. A screw 21 is rotatably installed inside the support plate 2. A linkage plate 24 is screwed to the lower outer wall of the screw 21. An annular cover 3 is provided on the lower outer wall of the linkage plate 24. A storage basket 31 is screwed to the inside of the annular cover 3. A cover plate 33 is threaded to the upper end of the inner wall of the storage basket 31.

[0031] In use, the cleaning tank 11 can hold cleaning fluid for ultrasonic cleaning, and the fixing frame 12 is used to support the support plate 2. By rotating the screw 21, the height of the linkage plate 24 and the annular cover 3 can be adjusted to adapt to different height requirements, so that the annular cover 3 can enter or move out of the cleaning tank 11, making it convenient for staff to pick up and put down glassware, ensuring the efficiency of glassware handling. When the screw 21 rotates, it can drive the annular cover 3 to rotate along with it through the linkage plate 24. The centrifugal force generated on the storage basket 31 can separate the liquid remaining on the outer wall of the glassware inside the storage basket 31 and discharge it through the drain hole 32. The annular cover 3 blocks the liquid that has come out, preventing the liquid from spreading and allowing the liquid to fall back into the cleaning tank 11. The storage basket 31 inside the annular cover 3 is used to place glassware, and the cover plate 33 can provide a certain degree of protection for the glassware. The squeezing force of the silicone pad 34 on the glassware inside the storage basket 31 can ensure the relative stability of the glassware during the cleaning and spin-drying process and prevent damage to the glassware.

[0032] To drive movement, for example, such as Figure 3 As shown, a screw hole is provided on one side of the upper outer wall of the fixing bracket 12, and the screw 21 is threaded into the screw hole.

[0033] In use, the screw 21 can be stably installed on the fixed frame 12 through the screw hole. When the drive motor 22 drives the screw 21 to rotate, the screw 21 can move up and down smoothly in the screw hole, thereby accurately controlling the lifting and lowering of the linkage plate 24 and the lower annular cover 3 and the storage basket 31, ensuring the stable realization of the height adjustment function.

[0034] To limit the movement trajectory, for example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer walls of both sides of the support plate 2 are screwed with limit rods 23, and the outer walls of both sides of the fixing frame 12 are provided with through holes adapted to the limit rods 23, with the limit rods 23 located inside the through holes.

[0035] During use, the limiting rod 23, in conjunction with the through hole, provides excellent guidance and limiting. When the screw 21 rotates and drives the support plate 2 to move up and down, the limiting rod 23 moves within the through hole, preventing the support plate 2 from shifting or wobbling during movement, thus ensuring the stability of the entire device when adjusting its height.

[0036] To drive rotation, for example, such as Figure 3 As shown, a drive motor 22 for providing power is provided on one end of the outer wall of the support plate 2 through the screw 21. The drive motor 22 is connected to the screw 21 by a coupling, and the drive motor 22 is screwed to the upper outer wall of the support plate 2.

[0037] In use, the drive motor 22 is controlled by the controller. The drive motor 22 provides power for the rotation of the screw 21. Since the lower end of the screw 21 protrudes from the support plate 2 and is connected to the linkage plate 24, the rotation of the screw 21 can drive the linkage plate 24 to rotate accordingly.

[0038] To maintain a stable connection, for example, such as Figure 4 As shown, buckles 35 are rotatably installed on both sides of the outer wall of the annular cover 3. The linkage plate 24 is located at the lower end of the support plate 2, and slots are opened on both sides of the upper outer wall of the linkage plate 24, and the buckles 35 are snapped into the slots.

[0039] During use, the locking force between the buckle 35 and the slot makes the connection between the ring cover 3 and the linkage plate 24 firm and easy to disassemble. When it is necessary to clean the ring cover 3 and the storage basket 31, the buckle 35 can be easily rotated to release the connection.

[0040] For drainage, for example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the upper surface of the storage basket 31 is lower than the upper surface of the annular cover 3, and the outer wall of the storage basket 31 is provided with drainage holes 32 arranged in a circular array.

[0041] During use, the height restriction is used to limit the discharge of residual liquid inside the storage basket 31, so that the annular cover 3 can block the liquid that is thrown out, prevent the liquid from spreading, and ensure that the liquid during the cleaning process can flow back to the cleaning tank 11 along the annular cover 3. During the ultrasonic cleaning process, the cleaning fluid can smoothly enter the storage basket 31 to clean the glassware, and after cleaning, it can be quickly discharged through the drain hole 32, improving cleaning efficiency and ensuring cleaning effect.

[0042] For compression fixation, exemplarily, such as Figure 4 As shown, a silicone pad 34 for providing compressive force is bonded and fixed to the lower outer wall of the cover plate 33, and the silicone pad 34 is located inside the storage basket 31.

[0043] When in use, when the cover plate 33 is installed on the storage basket 31, the silicone pad 34 can provide squeezing force to the glassware. On the one hand, the silicone pad 34 is made of soft material, which can avoid causing hard damage to the glassware; on the other hand, the squeezing force can make the glassware more securely fixed in the storage basket 31. When the staff places the glassware inside the storage basket 31, the open end of the glassware should face the inner wall of the storage basket 31, so that the residual liquid on the inner wall of the glassware can be discharged during the subsequent spin-drying process.

[0044] When using this utility model, open the cover plate 33 on the storage basket 31, carefully place the glassware inside the storage basket 31, so that the open end of the glassware faces the inner wall of the storage basket 31, and then reinstall the cover plate 33 on the storage basket 31. At this time, the silicone pad 34 at the lower end of the cover plate 33 will exert a squeezing force on the glassware. Finally, the operator uses the buckle 35 and the slot to fix the annular cover 3 to the lower end of the linkage plate 24.

[0045] Start the drive motor 22. Under the control of the matching controller, the drive motor 22 starts to work and drives the screw 21 to rotate through the coupling. Since the screw 21 is threaded into the screw hole on one side of the upper outer wall of the fixed frame 12, and the limiting rods 23 connected to the outer walls on both sides of the support plate 2 move in the through holes on both sides of the fixed frame 12, it plays a guiding and limiting role. Therefore, when the screw 21 rotates, it can move up and down smoothly in the screw hole, accurately controlling the lifting and lowering of the linkage plate 24 and the lower annular cover 3 and the storage basket 31, so that the storage basket 31 can enter or move out of the cleaning tank 11.

[0046] Once the annular cover 3 and the storage basket 31 have descended to the appropriate position, the ultrasonic function of the vibrator body 1 is turned on. Under the action of ultrasonic waves, the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank 11 cleans the glassware in the storage basket 31.

[0047] After cleaning, the drive motor 22 is restarted. The drive motor 22 drives the screw 21 to reverse. The screw 21 drives the annular cover 3 to rotate upwards through the linkage plate 24. At this time, the basket 31 generates centrifugal force as the annular cover 3 rotates, causing the liquid remaining on the outer wall of the glassware inside the basket 31 to separate under the action of centrifugal force and be discharged through the drain hole 32 on the outer wall of the basket 31. Since the upper end of the basket 31 is lower than the upper end of the annular cover 3, the annular cover 3 can block the liquid that has come out. The blocked liquid will drip into the cleaning tank 11 for recycling.

[0048] It should be noted that this utility model is a glassware fixing device for an ultrasonic oscillator. All components in this utility model are known to those skilled in the art, and their structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

[0049] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
