[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a non-destructive cleaning machine for ophthalmic precision instruments, comprising a housing 1, a partition 6, a filter basket 8, an ultrasonic component, and a conveying component;

[0034] The partition 6 is installed inside the housing 1 and one end extends to the top of the inner side of the housing 1. The partition 6, the bottom end of the inner side of the housing 1, and the inner side of the housing 1 respectively enclose the first cavity 10 and the second cavity 14. The housing 1 and the second cavity 14 are interconnected. The partition 6 is used to make the inner side of the housing 1 have two cavities for holding cleaning water. When in use, the cleaning water inside the second cavity 14 is transported to the housing 1, which drives the cleaning water inside the housing 1 to flow. The cleaning water in contact with the instrument carries impurities away from the instrument, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the instrument.

[0035] The conveying assembly is disposed in the first cavity 10 and connected to the partition 6. The conveying assembly is also connected to the housing 1 and the second cavity 14. It is used to convey the cleaning water inside the housing 1 from one end of the housing 1 to the second cavity 14 formed by the housing 1 and the partition 6 at the other end of the housing 1 during use, and to convey it back into the housing 1. This allows the cleaning water to circulate in the housing 1 and the second cavity 14. The circulation of the cleaning water causes impurities to accumulate at the bottom of one end of the housing 1, improving the ease of cleaning impurities.

[0036] The ultrasonic component is located inside the first cavity 10, with one end extending to the top of the first cavity 10 and connected to the partition 6, and arranged towards the inside of the housing 1. During use, the ultrasonic component is connected to the partition 6 inside the first cavity 10, and the partition 6 generates tens of thousands of tiny bubbles in the cleaning water inside the housing 1. The bubbles rapidly increase in size and then suddenly close, generating an instantaneous high pressure of more than 1,000 atmospheres around the instrument to destroy the structure of impurities and disperse them in the cleaning water.

[0037] The filter basket 8 is installed at one end of the partition 6 and located at the feed end of the conveying assembly. The filter basket 8 is set at one end of the housing 1, and the cleaning water in the housing 1 and the second cavity 14 is circulated through the filter basket 8 by the conveying assembly. When the cleaning water containing impurities in the housing 1 passes through the filter basket 8, the filter basket 8 filters the impurities in the cleaning water, keeping the instruments away from the impurities and improving the cleaning effect of the instruments. The filter basket 8 also collects the impurities, making it easier to clean them. At the end of the filter basket 8 and on the outside of the housing 1, there is a sealing assembly 2 for sealing the end of the filter basket 8 in use. The filter basket 8 and the partition 6 are sealed to prevent the leakage of impurities between the partition 6 and the filter basket 8.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, a water passage 7 is provided at one end of the partition 6 and near the top of the housing 1, which communicates with the second cavity 14 and the housing 1. This water passage 7 is used to transport the cleaning water that is transported to the inside of the second cavity 14 by the conveying assembly to the inside of the housing 1 during use. This allows the cleaning water to carry impurities to the filter basket 8 and then transport them back to the housing 1 to form a flow system, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, a cover plate 3 is hinged to the top rear end of the housing 1 and covers the housing 1. A limiting plate 4 connected to the cover plate 3 is provided on the top rear end of the housing 1 and on the hinge side of the cover plate 3. This limiting plate 4 is used to close the top end of the housing 1 during use and to restrict the rotation of the cover plate 3. The limiting plate 4 supports and limits the cover plate 3. When the cover plate 3 is opened, it is tilted and placed on the limiting plate 4, making the use of the cover plate 3 more convenient.

[0040] In this embodiment, a first cavity 10 and a second cavity 14 are formed by the partition 6 enclosing the bottom and one side of the inner side of the housing 1, respectively, and the housing 1 and the second cavity 14 are interconnected. The conveying component conveys the cleaning water inside the housing 1 through the filter basket 8 to the inside of the second cavity 14, and discharges it into the housing 1 through the water passage 7, so that the cleaning water in the housing 1 and the second cavity 14 circulates and washes away impurities on the surface and in the crevices of the instrument. At the same time, the high-frequency vibration of the ultrasonic component further decomposes stubborn stains, improves the overall cleaning effect, and allows impurities to be collected and filtered through the filter basket 8. The filter basket 8 can be replaced through the sealing component 2, making the cleaning of the inside of the housing 1 more convenient.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention proposes a non-destructive cleaning machine for ophthalmic precision instruments. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the middle part of the partition 6 is arranged at an inclination, and the lowest end is located at the top of the filter basket 8.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, a support plate 5 is provided on the middle part of the partition 6, the surface of the support plate 5 has through holes, and the support plate 5 is placed horizontally.

[0044] In this embodiment, by arranging the middle part of the partition 6 at an angle toward the top of the filter basket 8, impurities in the washing water are more easily deposited on the inner side of the filter basket 8 under the action of gravity, and the filter basket 8 collects and filters them. At the same time, by installing a support plate 5 with through holes on its surface horizontally above the middle part of the partition 6, the support plate 5 supports the instrument and prevents the instrument from sliding on the partition 6 into the filter basket 8.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention proposes a non-destructive cleaning machine for ophthalmic precision instruments. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the conveying component includes a connector 9 and a pump body 12.

[0047] There are two connectors 9. The two connectors 9 are located on one side of the first cavity 10 and connected to the partition 6. The two connectors 9 are also connected to the housing 1 and the second cavity 14 respectively.

[0048] The pump body 12 is installed inside the first cavity 10 and connected to the two connectors 9.

[0049] In this embodiment, the pump body 12 efficiently circulates the cleaning water between the housing 1 and the second cavity 14 through the synergistic effect of the two connectors 9, thereby improving the cleaning effect and ensuring that the instruments are cleaned thoroughly and without damage.

[0050] Example 4

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention proposes a non-destructive cleaning machine for ophthalmic precision instruments. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the ultrasonic component includes a transducer 11 and an ultrasonic generator 13.

[0052] The transducer 11 is located at the top of the first cavity 10 and is connected to the partition 6;

[0053] An ultrasonic generator 13 is located inside the first cavity 10 and connected to the transducer 11.

[0054] In this embodiment, the transducer 11 and the ultrasonic generator 13 are activated to generate ultrasonic waves to clean and decompose impurities on ophthalmic precision instruments, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0055] Example 5

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention proposes a non-destructive cleaning machine for ophthalmic precision instruments. Compared with the first embodiment, the difference in this embodiment is that the sealing component 2 includes a door panel 21, a sealing gasket 22, a nut 23, and a stud 24.

[0057] The door panel 21 is hinged to the outside of the housing 1 and covers the end of the filter basket 8;

[0058] The sealing gasket 22 is disposed on one side of the door panel 21 and connected to the filter basket 8 and the housing 1;

[0059] The stud 24 is disposed on the outside of the housing 1 and located at one end of the door panel 21;

[0060] Nut 23 is fitted onto the outside of stud 24 and connected to door panel 21.

[0061] In this embodiment, the door panel 21 is installed on the outside of the housing 1 by a hinge, and the door panel 21 causes the sealing gasket 22 to cover the end of the filter basket 8. It is connected to the stud 24 by a nut 23, so that the nut 23 presses the door panel 21 and fixes the door panel 21 to the side of the housing 1. The sealing gasket 22 seals the door panel 21 and the housing 1. By separating the nut 23 from the stud 24, the door panel 21 can be opened, which facilitates the periodic replacement or cleaning of the filter basket 8.

[0062] In this invention, a first cavity 10 and a second cavity 14 are formed by a partition 6 enclosing the bottom and one side of the inner surface of the housing 1, respectively. Two connectors 9 connect the pump body 12 to the housing 1 and the second cavity 14. A support plate 5 supports the ophthalmic precision instruments, and a cover plate 3 is placed on top of the housing 1. Simultaneously, the pump body 12 is activated, causing the cleaning water inside the housing 1 to flow into the second cavity 14 through the connectors 9, and then to be delivered to the ophthalmic precision instruments through the water passage 7, allowing the cleaning water to rinse the instruments. The cleaning water carries impurities toward the filter basket 8, which then filters the cleaning water to ensure that the impurities are effectively intercepted. This creates a water circulation system in the housing 1 and the second cavity 14, improving the impurity interception effect and ensuring the cleanliness of the instruments. At the same time, the ultrasonic waves from the transducer 11 and the ultrasonic generator 13 work together to further decompose stubborn impurities on the surface of the instruments, ensuring that the cleaning process is efficient and non-destructive, improving the overall cleaning effect. The sealing structure of the door panel 21 and the sealing gasket 22 makes it easy and quick to disassemble the filter basket 8 and makes it easier to clean the inside of the housing 1.

[0063] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
