Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical lens cleaning technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic cleaner for aiming lenses. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasonic cleaning machines utilize ultrasonic waves to propagate in liquids, causing the liquid and the cleaning tank to vibrate together at the ultrasonic frequency. The ultrasonic waves radiate forward in the liquid with alternating high and low density, causing the liquid to flow and generating tens of thousands of tiny bubbles. These tiny bubbles in the liquid vibrate under the influence of the sound field, thus cleaning the items in the cleaning solution. Ultrasonic cleaning machines are often used for cleaning lenses.

[0003] Currently, when cleaning optical sight lenses, the lenses are often placed in a storage box and then put into an ultrasonic cleaner. Since the lenses are not secured, their edges tend to scrape. To solve this problem, clamping components are used to hold the lenses in place. However, existing clamping components mostly clamp the sides of the lens. While this method works adequately on the flat side, clamping convex or concave surfaces requires a curved clamping component to accommodate these surfaces, making it less adaptable and less practical. Furthermore, the contact surfaces on the sides of the lens actually obstruct the cleaning process, resulting in incomplete cleaning. After cleaning, a significant amount of cleaning fluid often remains on the lenses, requiring manual wiping. Consequently, some cleaning fluid is carried out of the cleaning machine along with the lenses, sometimes necessitating additional replenishment.

[0004] In summary, existing ultrasonic cleaners for cleaning lenses have problems such as low practicality of the clamping components used to hold the lenses, poor cleaning effect for some types of optical lenses, and waste caused by the cleaning fluid being carried out of the cleaner. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an ultrasonic cleaner for aiming lenses. It solves the problems of low practicality of clamping components for fixing lenses, poor cleaning effect for certain types of optical lenses, and waste caused by cleaning fluid being carried out of the cleaner.

[0006] According to an embodiment of this utility model, an ultrasonic cleaner for aiming lenses includes a rectangular box with a lid hinged to the top. A spin-drying mechanism is vertically rotatably connected to the central area inside the box. The spin-drying mechanism includes a motor fixed to the bottom of the box, with the motor's output end extending vertically into the box. A horizontally suspended base plate is fixedly connected to the top of the output end. A vertical support plate is provided on the base plate, and a groove is vertically provided on the support plate. A clamping assembly is detachably provided in the groove, and the clamping assembly includes an insert plate vertically slidably disposed within the groove and a... A fixing block is horizontally fixed to the insert plate. Several fixing blocks are arranged in a vertical straight line. Multiple fixing rods extend horizontally from any one of the fixing blocks. A sleeve is provided at the end of each fixing rod away from the fixing block. A tension spring is provided inside the sleeve. The end of the fixing rod is slidably disposed in the sleeve and fixedly connected to one end of the tension spring. The other end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the sleeve. Another fixing block is fixedly connected to the outside of the closed end of the sleeve. The two fixing blocks are arranged opposite each other, and each of their opposite sides is provided with a fixing groove facing inward.

[0007] An ultrasonic generator is also provided on one side of the bottom of the box, and an inlet and an outlet are provided at different heights on the outside of the box, with the outlet located on the bottom side wall of the box.

[0008] Furthermore, the upright plate has four pieces arranged in a cross shape on the base plate, with the side of the upright plate with the groove facing the center of the base plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a waterproof bearing is provided between the center of the base plate and the bottom of the housing, and the motor output end passes through the waterproof bearing and is fixedly connected to the center of the base plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing block fixed on the insert plate has four fixing rods arranged in two groups facing each other. The four fixing rods are in the four corners of a rectangle, and the fixing groove is arranged between the relative positions of the two groups of fixing rods.

[0011] Furthermore, the insert plate is symmetrically provided with slide bars on both sides, and the groove is provided with limiting grooves on both sides corresponding to the slide bars. The insert plate slides in the limiting grooves by means of a slider.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the insert plate is provided with a handle, and a pull ring is provided on the outside of the fixing block located on one side of the closed end of the sleeve.

[0013] Furthermore, valves are provided on the inlet and outlet.

[0014] The technical principle of this utility model is as follows: By setting a spin-drying mechanism and clamping components in a general ultrasonic cleaner, it is possible to clean lenses of various sizes and specifications. The spin-drying mechanism can spin-dry the cleaning fluid on the lens, avoiding waste. When cleaning the lens, the operator first removes the insert plate from the upright plate and then places the insert plate horizontally on the worktable. At this time, the fixing block, fixing rod, and sleeve are all in a vertical state. Pulling the fixing block located at the sleeve will pull the tension spring inside the sleeve, and the fixing rod will slide inside the sleeve, increasing the distance between the fixing block on the sleeve and the insert plate. Then, the edge of the lens is placed in the fixing groove of the fixing block. Since the fixing groove contacts the edge of the lens but not the light-transmitting surface of the lens, it can be cleaned more thoroughly. After placing the lens in the fixing groove, the pulled fixing block is slowly released, and the tension spring begins to return to its original position. The two fixing blocks abut against the opposite edges of the lens, achieving the effect of stabilizing the lens. Furthermore, due to the cooperation of the sleeve, fixing rod, and tension spring, lenses of different sizes can be clamped, improving practicality.

[0015] Then, the staff placed the insert plate back into the groove, closed the lid, opened the inlet to release the cleaning fluid, turned on the ultrasonic generator, and cleaned the lenses. After cleaning, they opened the outlet to release the cleaning fluid to the collection point. At this time, the motor could be started, which would drive the base plate to rotate, and the upright plate and clamping components on it would rotate synchronously to shake off as much cleaning fluid as possible from the lenses. After shaking off the fluid, the lid was opened, and the staff removed the insert plate again and took out various lenses from the clamping components. The lenses could then be cleaned simply by wiping them with an absorbent towel. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes an ultrasonic cleaner for aiming lenses, including a rectangular box 1. The top of the box 1 is hinged to a box cover 11. A spin-drying mechanism 2 is vertically rotatably connected to the central area inside the box 1. The spin-drying mechanism 2 includes a motor 21 fixed to the bottom of the box 1. The output end of the motor 21 extends vertically into the box 1. A horizontally suspended base plate 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the output end. A vertical plate 24 is vertically provided on the base plate 23. A groove 25 is vertically provided on the vertical plate 24. A clamping assembly 3 is detachably provided in the groove 25. The clamping assembly 3 includes an insert plate 31 vertically slidably disposed in the groove 25 and a fixing block 32 horizontally fixed on the insert plate 31. Several fixing blocks 32 are provided and arranged in a vertical straight line. Multiple fixing rods 3 extend horizontally from any one of the fixing blocks 32. 3. The end of the fixing rod 33 away from the fixing block 32 is also provided with a sleeve 34. The sleeve 34 is provided with a tension spring 35. The end of the fixing rod 33 is slidably disposed in the sleeve 34 and fixedly connected to one end of the tension spring 35. The other end of the tension spring 35 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the sleeve 34. Another fixing block 32 is also fixedly connected to the outside of the closed end of the sleeve 34. The two fixing blocks 32 are arranged opposite to each other, and the opposite sides are respectively provided with fixing grooves 36 facing inward. An ultrasonic generator 4 is also provided on one side of the bottom of the box 1. The ultrasonic generator 4 can be a device for generating ultrasonic waves set on a general ultrasonic cleaner. There is also a liquid inlet 12 and a liquid outlet 13 on the outside of the box 1. The liquid outlet 13 is disposed on the bottom side wall of the box. The liquid inlet 12 and the liquid outlet 13 are used to deliver cleaning fluid and discharge cleaning fluid.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, various sizes and styles of lenses can be cleaned by setting a spin-drying mechanism 2 and a clamping assembly 3 inside the housing 1. The spin-drying mechanism 2 can spin-dry the cleaning solution on the lenses to avoid waste. When cleaning the lenses, the operator first removes the insert plate 31 from the upright plate 24 and then places the insert plate 31 horizontally on the worktable. At this time, the fixing block 32, the fixing rod 33, and the sleeve 34 are all in a vertical state. Pulling the fixing block 32 located at the sleeve 34 will pull the tension spring 35 located inside the sleeve 34, and the fixing rod 33 will slide inside the sleeve 34. The distance between the fixing block 32 on the sleeve 34 and the insert plate 31 will increase. Then, the edge of the lens is placed in the fixing groove 36 of the fixing block 32. The fixed groove 36 contacts the edge of the lens but not the light-transmitting surface, allowing for a more thorough cleaning. The lens is placed in the fixed groove 36, and the pulled fixed block 32 is slowly released. The tension spring 35 begins to return to its original position. The two fixed blocks 32 abut against the opposite edges of the lens, achieving a stable lens. Furthermore, the sleeve 34, the fixed rod 33, and the tension spring 35 work together to clamp lenses of different sizes, improving practicality. Finally, although the weight of the spin-drying mechanism 2 and the clamping assembly 3 is much greater than the weight of the placed lens, lenses of similar sizes are fixed on the fixed blocks 32 at the same height on the insertion plate 31 to ensure relative balance during spin-drying and prevent instability.

[0028] Then, the staff puts the insert plate 31 back into the groove 25, closes the box cover 11, opens the liquid inlet 12 to release the cleaning fluid, turns on the ultrasonic generator 4, and after cleaning, opens the liquid outlet 13 to release the cleaning fluid to the collection point. At this time, the motor 21 can be started. The motor 21 drives the base plate 23 to rotate, and the upright plate 24 and clamping assembly 3 on it rotate synchronously to shake off the cleaning fluid on the lens as much as possible. After shaking off the fluid, the box cover 11 is opened, and the staff takes out the insert plate 31 again and takes out various lenses from the clamping assembly 3. The lenses can be cleaned simply by wiping them with an absorbent towel.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, furthermore, the upright plate 24 has four pieces arranged in a cross shape on the base plate 23, with the side of the upright plate 24 with the groove 25 facing the center of the base plate 23. Through the above mechanism, a total of four insert plates 31 can be inserted, which plays a balancing role during spin drying. Moreover, during spin drying, it also solves the problem that the tension spring 35 will deform due to centrifugal force and thus not clamp tightly. The cross-shaped arrangement of the upright plates avoids positional interference between the lenses.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, a waterproof bearing 22 is provided between the center of the base plate 23 and the bottom of the housing 1. The output end of the motor 21 passes through the waterproof bearing 22 and is fixedly connected to the center of the base plate 23. The waterproof bearing 22 is used to protect the output end of the motor 21 during cleaning and also serves to waterproof it.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, further, the fixing block 32 fixed on the insert plate 31 has four fixing rods 33 arranged in two groups and facing each other. The four fixing rods 33 are in the rectangular four-corner position on the fixing block 32. The fixing groove 36 is arranged horizontally between the relative positions of the two groups of fixing rods 33, so that the lens is fixed in a horizontal position between the fixing grooves 36. The two groups of fixing rods 33 are located in the upper and lower areas of the lens. The inner surface of the fixing groove 36 can also be provided with a flexible material such as silicone. The silicone can protect the edge of the lens. The fixing groove can also be selected with different groove styles for different lenses. For example, the edge of a concave mirror gradually narrows towards the center. The groove can be provided with individual protruding contact points to assist in fixing the concave mirror.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, further, the insert plate 31 is symmetrically provided with slide bars 312 on both sides, and the groove 25 is provided with limiting grooves 26 on both sides corresponding to the slide bars 312. The insert plate 31 slides in the limiting grooves 26 by means of a slider. The limiting grooves 26 restrict the horizontal position of the insert plate 31, so that it can only slide vertically on the groove 25.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the top of the insert plate 31 is further provided with a handle 311 for easy lifting of the insert plate 31 by the staff. The outer side of the fixing block 32 located on the closed end side of the sleeve 34 is also provided with a pull ring 37 to facilitate the staff to pull the fixing block 32 located on the fixing cylinder.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, valves 14 are further provided on the inlet 12 and outlet 13 for manually controlling the inlet and outlet of the cleaning fluid.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
