[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] Example

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model proposes a technical solution for an ultrasonic cleaning and drying device for pearls: An ultrasonic cleaning and drying device for pearls includes a cleaning tank 1, specifically, the cleaning tank 1 has a square structure, and a cleaning trough 2 is opened at the top of the cleaning tank 1. Specifically, the cleaning trough 2 contains cleaning liquid, and a cleaning frame 3 is installed inside the cleaning trough 2. Specifically, the cleaning frame 3 is used to support the pearls, reducing manual operation. A lifting mechanism is installed at the top of the cleaning tank 1, and the lifting mechanism is connected to the cleaning frame 3 through a detachable mechanism. A dryer 4 and a fan 5 are also installed on the lifting mechanism. An ultrasonic vibrating plate 6, an ultrasonic transducer 7, and an ultrasonic generator 8 are installed inside the cleaning trough 2. The ultrasonic transducer 7 is connected to the ultrasonic vibrating plate 6 and the ultrasonic generator 8 respectively. Specifically, the dryer 4 can clean the pearls... After drying, the pearls are dried. The blower 5 uses a low-temperature airflow to dry the moisture on the surface of the pearls. The temperature and airflow of the dryer 4 and the blower 5 are adjusted according to the material of the pearls to ensure that they are not damaged. The ultrasonic generator 8 is responsible for converting electrical energy into high-frequency ultrasonic signals (usually between 20kHz and 100kHz) and transmitting the signals to the ultrasonic transducer 7. The ultrasonic generator 8 provides a stable high-frequency current to ensure the effectiveness of the ultrasonic cleaning process. The ultrasonic generator 8 converts the high-frequency electrical signals output by the ultrasonic generator 8 into mechanical vibration components. The ultrasonic generator 8 converts electrical energy into mechanical waves of ultrasonic waves and transmits them to the liquid in the cleaning tank 2. The ultrasonic vibration plate 6 is used to transmit and enhance the ultrasonic vibration, ensure the uniform distribution of ultrasonic waves, improve cleaning efficiency, and ensure uniform cleaning effect.

[0024] The lifting mechanism includes a motor 9, a screw 10, a support rod 11, a bracket 12, a movable frame 13, and a movable plate 14. The bracket 12 is fixedly installed on the cleaning tank 1, and the motor 9 is installed on the cleaning tank 1. There are two screws 10 and two support rods 11, which are located on the inner walls of both sides of the bracket 12. The two ends of the support rod 11 are fixedly connected to the bracket 12. One end of the screw 10 is fixedly connected to the motor 9, and the other end of the screw 10 is movably connected to the bracket 12. The screw 10 passes through the movable frame 13 and is threadedly connected to the movable frame 13. The support rod 11 passes through the movable frame 13 and is movably connected to the movable frame 13. The movable plate 14 is installed at the bottom of the movable frame 13. Specifically, the bracket 12 provides support. Starting the motor 9 can drive the screw 10 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. When the screw 10 rotates, it drives the movable frame 13, which is threaded with it, to move up and down. When the movable frame 13 moves, it can drive the movable plate 14 to move up and down, which facilitates the movement of the cleaning frame 3, the dryer 4, and the fan 5.

[0025] Please see Figure 3-4As shown, further, the detachable mechanism is provided in several sets. The detachable mechanism includes a spring 15 and a locking plate 16. Both ends of the movable plate 14 are provided with several openings. The spring 15 and the locking plate 16 are both located inside the openings. The locking plate 16 and the spring 15 are fixedly connected. Both ends of the locking plate 16 extend to the outside of the openings. Both ends of the cleaning frame 3 are provided with several latches.

[0026] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to disassemble the cleaning frame 3, by pressing one end of the latch plate 16, under the action of the spring 15, the other end of the latch plate 16 can be moved away from the latch of the cleaning frame 3, so that the cleaning frame 3 can be taken out. There are four sets of detachable mechanisms.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 As shown, furthermore, a gear one is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 9, and a gear two is fixedly connected to the screw 10, with gear one and gear two meshing.

[0028] In this embodiment, the motor 9 is started, which drives gear 1 to rotate. Since gear 1 meshes with gear 2 on screw 10, the motor 9 drives screw 10 to rotate.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 As shown, a drain pipe 17 is further connected to one side of the cleaning pool 1.

[0030] In this embodiment, a valve is provided on the drain pipe 17, which can discharge the cleaning fluid.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, the movable frame 13 and the movable plate 14 are further connected by bolts.

[0032] In this embodiment, installation and disassembly are convenient.

[0033] Please see Figure 2 As shown, the screw 10 and the bracket 12 are further connected by bearings.

[0034] In this embodiment, the stability of the connection between the screw 10 and the bracket 12 is effectively improved by using bearings.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model:

[0036] Place the pearls to be cleaned into the cleaning frame 3. Using the detachable mechanism, install the cleaning frame 3 onto the movable plate 14. First, manually press one end of the locking plate 16. Under the action of the spring 15, the other end of the locking plate 16 will retract into the opening. Move the locking slot on the cleaning frame 3 until it is level with the other end of the locking plate 16. Release the locking plate 16. Under the action of the spring 15, the other end of the locking plate 16 will engage with the locking slot of the cleaning frame 3, thus completing the installation of the cleaning frame 3. Then, use the lifting mechanism to move the cleaning frame 3 into the cleaning tank 1.

[0037] The starting motor 9 drives the screw 10 to rotate clockwise. When the screw 10 rotates, it drives the movable frame 13, which is threaded with it, to move downwards. When the movable frame 13 moves, it drives the movable plate 14 to move downwards, making it easier to move the cleaning frame 3 into the cleaning tank 2. The pearls are ultrasonically cleaned by the ultrasonic vibration plate 6, ultrasonic transducer 7, and ultrasonic generator 8, ensuring uniform distribution of ultrasonic waves, improving cleaning efficiency, and ensuring uniform cleaning effect. After cleaning, the drain pipe 17 drains the cleaning liquid from the cleaning tank 1. The dryer 4 and the fan 5 are started. The dryer 4 dries the cleaned pearls, and the fan 5 uses a low-temperature airflow to dry the moisture on the surface of the pearls. The temperature and airflow of the dryer 4 and the fan 5 are adjusted according to the material of the pearls to ensure that they are not damaged. After cleaning and drying, the pearls can be taken out.

[0038] This invention solves the problem that traditional pearl cleaning and drying require multiple separate devices, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. It greatly simplifies the operation process, improves production efficiency, and integrates cleaning and drying, eliminating the need for multiple devices to work together, saving space in the production line. At the same time, it reduces equipment purchase and maintenance costs, lowering the overall production investment. Ultrasonic cleaning effectively removes impurities, oil, and deposits from the pearl surface, while the drying function, through reasonable temperature control and airflow design, removes moisture evenly and quickly. The entire process is completed in a short time, ensuring the cleaning effect while avoiding surface damage and unevenness that may occur in traditional drying methods. The use of temperature control design and low-temperature drying technology effectively avoids damage to the pearls caused by excessively high temperatures, maintaining the natural luster and texture of the pearls and improving their market competitiveness.
