Detailed Implementation

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, an electronic component cleaning device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an ultrasonic cleaner 1. The ultrasonic cleaner 1 generally includes the core component of the ultrasonic cleaning equipment, an ultrasonic generator, an ultrasonic transducer that converts electrical energy from the ultrasonic generator into mechanical vibration, a cleaning fluid, a control system, and an immersion basket 101. These are all common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, electronic components are placed in soaking basket 101. The ultrasonic cleaner 1 is equipped with a foaming mechanism that matches the soaking basket 101. The foaming mechanism releases bubbles into the electronic components being cleaned in the soaking basket 101. The bubbles break when they reach the blind spots caused by the interlacing of electronic components or the edges of the inside and outside of electronic components with complex shapes and many cavities, promoting more thorough contact between the cleaning fluid and the electronic components, resulting in a more thorough cleaning effect.

[0030] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the foaming mechanism includes an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet introduces gas from the external environment into the air outlet, which is located below the electronic components to release bubbles around the electronic components and in blind areas. The air inlet and air outlet are interconnected.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the air inlet includes an air pump 211, and a third air duct 212 is installed at the air outlet of the air pump 211. A rotary joint 213 is fixedly connected to the end of the third air duct 212 away from the air pump 211. The rotary joint 213 is installed at one end of the first air duct 201 and is connected to the first air duct 201. The exhaust end includes a first air duct 201, and the end of the first air duct 201 away from the air inlet is mounted on the soaking basket 101 via a bearing. The air introduced by the air pump 211 enters the cleaning solution through the third air duct 212, the rotary joint 213, and the exhaust end. This generates bubbles and causes bubble bursts around the electronic components and in the blind areas created by the intersection of electronic components, improving the cleaning effect on the electronic components. Simultaneously, under the action of the airflow, the first air duct 201 releases bubbles while rotating, thus expanding the effective range of the bubbles to a certain extent.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, several second air guides 202 are evenly installed on the outer wall of the first air guide 201, and the first air guide 201 is connected to the second air guides 202. The multiple second air guides 202 make the first air guide 201 more evenly and stably subjected to force when rotating, and at the same time increase the coverage of air bubbles.

[0033] like Figures 3-4As shown, a flexible universal hose 203 is installed between the first air duct 201 and the second air duct 202. The universal hose 203 is connected to both the first air duct 201 and the second air duct 202. An angle limiting component matching the second air duct 202 is installed on the outside of the first air duct 201. The angle limiting component helps the user adjust the rotation speed of the first air duct 201 according to the cleaning requirements of electronic components, thereby adjusting the effective range of the air bubbles.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the angle limiting component includes a limiting ring 205. Several limiting grooves are formed on the inner side of the limiting ring 205. Several limiting teeth 206 matching the limiting grooves are installed on the outer wall of the first air guide duct 201. A spring 207 is installed on one side of the limiting ring 205, and the other end of the spring 207 is installed on the second air guide duct 202. A telescopic rod 204 matching the spring 207 is installed between the limiting ring 205 and the second air guide duct 202. Pushing the limiting ring 205 towards the spring 207 compresses the spring 207, causing the limiting teeth 206 to move away from the limiting grooves. Rotating the limiting ring 205, with the cooperation of the telescopic rod 204, allows the second air guide duct 202 to rotate to a suitable angle. Then, pushing the limiting ring 205 back into the locking state with the limiting grooves achieves the adjustment of the angle of the second air guide duct 202, thus adjusting the bubble range.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, a connecting rod 2041 is installed on the outside of the second air duct 202 to ensure that several second air ducts 202 swing simultaneously. The connecting rod 2041 ensures that multiple second air ducts 202 swing simultaneously, which improves the convenience of the angle limiting component to a certain extent.

[0036] like Figures 5-6 As shown, a density adjustment component for adjusting bubble size is installed inside the first air duct 201. The density adjustment component helps the user adjust the size of the second air duct 202 according to the cleaning requirements of electronic components. The smaller the second air duct 202, the denser the bubbles. The denser small bubbles can more easily enter the blind spots caused by the interlacing of electronic components and the blind spots with complex shapes and many holes, so that the cleaning fluid can have more sufficient contact with the surface of electronic components, further reducing dead corners and unclean areas.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, the density adjustment assembly includes an adjustment tube 208, on which an adjustment hole 2081 is provided that matches the second air guide duct 202. A locking assembly is installed at one end of the adjustment tube 208. When the adjustment tube 208 is rotated, the adjustment hole 2081 rotates accordingly, thereby adjusting the overlapping area between the adjustment hole 2081 and the second air guide duct 202. The locking assembly ensures that the overlapping area remains stable after adjustment.

[0038] like Figure 6As shown, the locking assembly includes a threaded rod 209. A groove 2011 matching the threaded rod 209 is provided on the first air duct 201. A locking nut 210 matching the first air duct 201 is externally threaded onto the threaded rod 209. Loosening the locking nut 210 allows the threaded rod 209 to slide within the groove 2011, adjusting the overlap area. The locking nut 210 is then tightened to lock the connection.

[0039] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the first air duct 201 is an acrylic cylinder. The transparent acrylic cylinder makes it easy for users to observe the size of the overlapping area.

[0040] The air pump 211 can be selected as model FM2002, or users can choose different models according to actual market needs. The air pump 211 is electrically connected to an external power source, and since the air pump 211 is common knowledge to those skilled in the art, its specific structure, switching method, and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0041] During use, the air pump 211 is started to introduce gas into the first air duct 201. The gas enters the cleaning liquid through the second air duct 202 and generates bubbles. The bubbles enter the blind spots created by the intersection of electronic components, effectively cleaning the blind spots of electronic components and improving the cleaning effect to a certain extent.

[0042] When the user needs to adjust the cleaning intensity according to the degree of overlap of electronic components, rotating the adjustment tube 208 adjusts the size of the overlapping area between the adjustment hole 2081 and the second air guide tube 202, thereby adjusting the size and density of the bubbles.

[0043] When the user needs to adjust the cleaning range according to the number of electronic components, the limit ring 205 is rotated to adjust the angle of the second air duct 202, that is, to adjust the effective range of the air bubbles, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the cleaning range according to the number of components.

[0044] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0045] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
