Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic cleaning equipment technology, specifically to an ultrasonic cleaning device for camera glass lenses. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasonic cleaning utilizes the cavitation, acceleration, and direct flow effects of ultrasound waves in liquids to directly and indirectly act on the liquid and contaminants, thereby dispersing, emulsifying, and peeling off the contaminant layer to achieve the cleaning purpose.

[0003] An existing patent (publication number: CN218223826U) discloses an ultrasonic plasma cleaning device for mobile phone camera lenses, relating to the field of mobile phone camera lens cleaning technology. It includes an ultrasonic cleaner, with a lens placement device installed in the cleaning tank. A control panel is located on the top side of the ultrasonic cleaner, and a drive device for controlling the lens placement device is also located on the outside of the ultrasonic cleaner. This invention, through the design of the ultrasonic cleaner, lens placement device, and drive device, allows for the simultaneous placement of a large number of mobile phone camera lenses during use, ensuring relatively stable lens positions for easy collection. Furthermore, it allows for the removal of lenses from the previous batch and the placement of lenses for the next batch during cleaning, which is convenient and effectively improves lens cleaning efficiency, meeting production needs.

[0004] The aforementioned device can accommodate a large number of mobile phone camera lenses at once during use, and can ensure the relative stability of the lens position during the cleaning process, making collection convenient. Furthermore, when cleaning a batch of lenses, the previous batch of lenses can be removed and another batch of lenses to be cleaned can be placed in, which is convenient and effectively improves the efficiency of lens cleaning to meet production needs. However, since the lenses are located at the top of the cleaning machine, it is not convenient for users to remove them. Also, after cleaning, there are many water droplets on the surface of the lenses, which is not conducive to subsequent processes and affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an ultrasonic cleaning device for camera glass lenses, which has advantages such as automatic feeding and automatic drying, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an ultrasonic cleaning device for camera glass lenses, comprising a cleaning tank and two guardrails on one side of the cleaning tank. Two hot air blowers for drying are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the cleaning tank. A guide frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of one end of the cleaning tank. A lifting frame is slidably connected up and down inside the guide frame. An extraction frame is slidably connected left and right inside the lifting frame. A rotary motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extraction frame. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor. An electromagnet is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft. A placement rack is attracted to the bottom of the electromagnet.

[0007] Multiple trays are installed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the rack. The rack is located between two hot air blowers, and a set of casters is installed at the bottom of the rack to facilitate its movement.

[0008] Furthermore, an ultrasonic generator is fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning tank, and a transducer is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank.

[0009] The above scheme and setup enable efficient cleaning of the lenses by the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank.

[0010] Furthermore, a set of guide rods is fixedly connected between the inner top wall and the inner top wall of the guide frame, and the left end of the lifting frame is slidably sleeved with the two guide rods.

[0011] The above solution, through the setting of guide rods, can improve the stability of the lifting frame during lifting.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the two guardrails is fixedly connected to a power frame at one of its far ends. A first lead screw is rotatably connected between the inner top wall and the inner bottom wall of each of the two power frames. The right end of the guide frame is threadedly connected to the two first lead screws. A first motor is installed at the top of each of the two power frames. The output ends of the two first motors are fixedly connected to the top ends of the first lead screws that are close to each other.

[0013] The above scheme, through the setting of the first lead screw, enables the electromagnet to drive the placement frame to lift or lower.

[0014] Furthermore, a second lead screw is rotatably connected between the left and right inner sidewalls of the lifting frame, the extraction frame is threadedly connected to the second lead screw, and a second motor is fixedly installed at the other end of the lifting frame, with the output end of the second motor fixedly connected to one end of the second lead screw.

[0015] With the above solution, the second lead screw can drive the placement rack to move parallel above the guardrail and the cleaning pool. When the placement rack is pushed into the two guardrails, the extraction rack descends and is attracted to the top of the placement rack by an electromagnet, then rises above the guardrail and moves to the top of the cleaning pool by the second lead screw, and is finally placed inside the cleaning pool, effectively improving the convenience for users.

[0016] Furthermore, one end of one of the guardrails is hinged to a door panel via a torsion spring hinge.

[0017] The above solution, through the installation of door panels, can provide protection and prevent personnel from entering during work, thus avoiding safety hazards.

[0018] Furthermore, a control host is fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning tank.

[0019] The above scheme, through the configuration of the control host, enables the control of electrical components.

[0020] Furthermore, multiple limiting discs are fixedly installed on the top of the placement rack.

[0021] The above solution, through the setting of the limit plate, enables the placement of the placement rack after it is pushed between the two guardrails, thus ensuring the accuracy of the solenoid valve's adsorption.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] This ultrasonic cleaning device for camera glass lenses utilizes an ultrasonic generator and transducer to efficiently remove surface contaminants from the lenses through high-frequency cavitation. Simultaneously, two hot air blowers create convection, and a rotary motor drives a batch of lenses on a placement rack in a slow, circular motion, achieving uniform drying, significantly reducing water residue, and improving the efficiency of subsequent processes. The device features a lifting and extraction rack, coupled with first and second lead screw drives, to automatically transfer lenses from the loading area to the cleaning tank. The multi-layered tray design supports batch cleaning, allowing multiple sets of lenses to be processed at once, effectively improving cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the rollers at the bottom of the placement rack facilitate direct pushing of the cleaned and dried lenses to the next process, eliminating the tedious process of workers removing and loading lenses.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An ultrasonic cleaning device for camera glass lenses in this embodiment includes a cleaning tank 1 and two guardrails 2 set on one side of the cleaning tank 1. An ultrasonic generator 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning tank 1, and a transducer 14 is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. With the above configuration, the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank 1 can efficiently clean the lens. A control host 22 is fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning tank 1. With the configuration of the control host 22, the purpose of controlling the electrical components can be realized.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 Two hot air blowers 3 for drying are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the cleaning tank 1. A guide frame 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of one end of the cleaning tank 1. A lifting frame 5 is slidably connected up and down inside the guide frame 4. An extraction frame 6 is slidably connected left and right inside the lifting frame 5. A rotary motor 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extraction frame 6. A rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor 7. An electromagnet 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 8. A placement rack 10 is attracted to the bottom of the electromagnet 9. By setting up the hot air blowers 3, and cooperating with the solenoid valve and the rotary motor 7 to drive the placement rack 10 to slowly rotate, the purpose of drying the lens can be achieved.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4A set of guide rods 15 are fixedly connected between the inner top walls of the guide frame 4 and the left end of the lifting frame 5 is slidably sleeved with the two guide rods 15. The setting of the guide rods 15 can improve the stability of the lifting frame 5 when it is raised and lowered. Multiple trays 11 are installed between the inner walls of the placement frame 10. The placement frame 10 is located between the two hot air blowers 3. A set of rollers 12 are installed at the bottom of the placement frame 10 to facilitate the movement of the placement frame 10. The setting of the trays 11 can facilitate the user to place multiple sets of lenses and improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two guardrails 2 are fixedly connected to power frames 16 at their far ends. First lead screws 17 are rotatably connected between the inner top and bottom walls of the two power frames 16. The right end of the guide frame 4 is threadedly connected to the two first lead screws 17. First motors 18 are installed at the top of each of the two power frames 16. The output ends of the two first motors 18 are fixedly connected to the top ends of the adjacent first lead screws 17. Through the arrangement of the first lead screws 17, the electromagnet 9 can drive the placement frame 10 to lift or lower. Second lead screws 19 are rotatably connected between the left and right inner walls of the lifting frame 5. The frame 6 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 19. The other end of the lifting frame 5 is fixedly installed with a second motor 20. The output end of the second motor 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the second lead screw 19. Through the setting of the second lead screw 19, the placement frame 10 can be driven to move parallel above the guardrail 2 and the cleaning pool 1. When the placement frame 10 is pushed into the two guardrails 2, the extraction frame 6 descends and is attracted to the top of the placement frame 10 by the electromagnet 9. Then it rises above the guardrail 2 and moves to the top of the cleaning pool 1 by the second lead screw 19. Finally, it is placed inside the cleaning pool 1, which effectively improves the convenience of the user.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Multiple limiting plates 23 are fixedly installed on the top of the placement rack 10. By setting the limiting plates 23, the placement rack 10 can be positioned after being pushed between the two guardrails 2, ensuring the accuracy of the solenoid valve's adsorption. One end of one of the guardrails 2 is hinged to a door panel 21 by a torsion spring hinge. The door panel 21 can provide protection and prevent personnel from entering during operation, thus avoiding safety hazards.

[0036] This embodiment of an ultrasonic cleaning device for camera glass lenses utilizes an ultrasonic generator 13 and a transducer 14 to efficiently remove surface contaminants from the lenses through high-frequency cavitation. Simultaneously, two hot air blowers 3 create convection, which, combined with a rotary motor 7, drives a batch of lenses on a placement rack 10 to move slowly in a circular motion, achieving uniform drying, significantly reducing water residue, and improving the efficiency of subsequent processes. Through the setting of a lifting rack 5 and an extraction rack 6, and with the transmission of a first lead screw 17 and a second lead screw 19, the lenses are automatically transferred from the loading area to the cleaning tank 1. The multi-layered design of the tray 11 supports batch cleaning, allowing multiple groups of lenses to be processed at once, effectively improving cleaning efficiency. At the same time, the rollers 12 at the bottom of the placement rack 10 facilitate the user to directly push the cleaned and dried lenses to the next process, avoiding the tedious process of workers removing and loading the lenses.

[0037] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: First, the user places the lens to be cleaned on the tray 11 of the placement rack 10. The design of the tray 11 allows for the placement of multiple sets of lenses, improving cleaning efficiency. After placing the lens, the placement rack 10 is pushed between the two guardrails 2, and then the door panel 21 at one end of the guardrail 2 is closed to ensure that personnel cannot enter during the work process and cause safety hazards. Next, the device is started by controlling the host 22, and the first motor 18 starts to work, driving the first lead screw 17 to rotate, so that the lifting frame 5 at the right end of the guide frame 4 rises or falls along the guide rod 15. During this process, the stability of the lifting frame 5 is ensured. When the lifting frame 5 rises to a certain height, the second motor 20 starts, driving the second lead screw 19 to rotate, so that the extraction frame 6 slides left and right along the second lead screw 19. When the extraction frame 6 slides to the vicinity of the guardrail 2, it descends and is attracted to the top of the placement rack 10 by the electromagnet 9. Subsequently, the second motor 20 reverses, and the extraction frame 6, carrying the placement rack 10, moves along the second lead screw. 19 moves above the cleaning tank 1. At this time, the lifting frame 5 descends again through the transmission of the first lead screw 17, placing the placement rack 10 and the lens into the cleaning tank 1. Inside the cleaning tank 1, the ultrasonic generator 13 is activated, transmitting high-frequency vibrations to the cleaning fluid through the transducer 14, generating a high-frequency cavitation effect to efficiently remove stains from the lens surface. After cleaning, the lifting frame 5 rises again, and the extraction frame 6 carries the placement rack 10 away from the cleaning tank 1. Then, the rotary motor 7 is activated, driving the rotary shaft 8 and the electromagnet 9 to slowly rotate in a circular motion. At the same time, the hot air blower 3 starts working, forming convection to evenly dry the lens. During this process, water stains on the lens are significantly reduced, improving the efficiency of subsequent processes. Finally, when the lens is dried, the lifting frame 5 descends again, and the extraction frame 6 carries the placement rack 10 to the top of the guardrail 2. At this time, the electromagnet 9 is de-energized, and the placement rack 10 falls between the two guardrails 2. The user can easily push it to the next process, avoiding the tedious process of workers taking out and loading the lens.
