Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server technology, and more specifically, to an ultrasonic cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Servers that are submerged in coolant for extended periods will develop stubborn dirt on their surfaces due to coolant evaporation, contaminant deposition, and the server's electrostatic adsorption.

[0003] Ultrasonic cleaners, used for automatically cleaning server surfaces, precisely control the frequency and power of ultrasonic waves using pulse width modulation (PWM) technology in the ultrasonic generator, outputting a stable electrical signal. A vibrating plate then converts this electrical signal into mechanical vibration, which is transmitted to the cleaning agent in the cleaning tank. As the ultrasonic waves propagate in the cleaning agent, bubbles form, expand, and collapse under the high-frequency vibration (cavitation effect). The high pressure and high temperature generated when these bubbles collapse break the adhesion between the dirt and the server surface, causing the dirt to peel off. Simultaneously, the liquid flow caused by the ultrasonic waves accelerates the convection of the cleaning agent, carrying away the detached dirt.

[0004] In existing ultrasonic cleaning machines, servers are placed haphazardly in the cleaning tank, resulting in excessive attenuation of ultrasonic energy reaching the server surface and uneven distribution of ultrasonic energy on the server surface, leading to poor cleaning effect; the vibrating plate installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank will hinder the flow of cleaning fluid and reduce cleaning efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, it is particularly important to design an ultrasonic cleaner with high cleaning effect and high cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention aims to address one of the technical problems in related technologies to a certain extent. To this end, this invention provides an ultrasonic cleaning machine with advantages such as the ability to fix a server, high cleaning effect, and high cleaning efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] An ultrasonic cleaner includes a body, an ultrasonic generator, a cleaning agent circulation and filtration device, a liquid container, and multiple vibrating plates. The ultrasonic generator, the cleaning agent circulation and filtration device, and the liquid container are disposed within the body. The ultrasonic generator and the cleaning agent circulation and filtration device are both disposed on the outer side of the liquid container. Each vibrating plate includes a transducer and a plate body. The transducer is disposed on the plate body. The output end of the ultrasonic generator is electrically connected to the transducer of the vibrating plate. The ultrasonic cleaner also includes multiple server fixing components. The liquid container includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a third sidewall. The first sidewall and the second sidewall are adjacent to each other, and the first sidewall and the third sidewall are adjacent to each other. Multiple vibrating plates are disposed on the inner surface of the first sidewall, and multiple server fixing components are respectively disposed on the inner surfaces of the second sidewall and the third sidewall.

[0009] Optionally, multiple vibration plates are disposed at the same height on the inner surface of the first sidewall, and multiple server fixing components are disposed at the same height on the inner surface of the second sidewall and the inner surface of the third sidewall, respectively.

[0010] Optionally, the server fixing component includes multiple server fixing blocks, each server fixing block having multiple fixing ports that match the server, and the multiple fixing ports within the fixing block are arranged at equal intervals.

[0011] Optionally, an opening is formed on the liquid container shell, and a liquid container cover is provided at the opening for sealing the opening of the liquid container shell; the liquid container cover and the opening are connected by a hinge for opening and closing the liquid container shell; a first gas strut is provided between the opening and the liquid container cover, and the two ends of the first gas strut are respectively connected to the opening and the liquid container cover.

[0012] Optionally, the liquid container cap further includes a rotating handle, which is located on the side of the liquid container cap away from the opening. A fixing seat is also provided at the opening, and a slot is provided on the fixing seat. When the rotating handle is inserted into the slot, the liquid container cap is fixed to the opening.

[0013] Optionally, the body also includes a cover, which is disposed outside the liquid-containing shell and at the same height as the opening.

[0014] Optionally, the ultrasonic cleaner further includes an electrical control box and an operation panel. The electrical control box is disposed outside the liquid container and between the ultrasonic generator and the cleaning agent circulation and filtration device. The machine body includes a first outer shell and a second outer shell. The two ends of the first outer shell are respectively connected to the two ends of the second outer shell. The electrical control box is disposed at the connection between the first outer shell and the second outer shell, and the operation panel is disposed on the second outer shell.

[0015] Optionally, the body includes a first layer plate and a second layer plate, the first layer plate and the second layer plate being adjacent to each other; the first layer plate is disposed at the connection between the first outer shell and the second outer shell, the electrical control box is fixed at the connection via an adapter plate, and an ultrasonic generator is disposed on the second layer plate adjacent to the first layer plate.

[0016] Optionally, the body further includes a base plate, a fixing frame assembly for fixing the base plate, the first outer shell, and the second outer shell, wherein the base plate, the first outer shell, the second outer shell, and the fixing frame assembly together form a receiving opening on the body, and a body cover is provided at the receiving opening for sealing the receiving opening of the body; the body cover and the receiving opening are connected by a hinge, and a second gas strut is provided between the receiving opening and the body cover, with both ends of the second gas strut connected to the receiving opening and the body cover respectively; a latching lock is provided on the second outer shell for fastening the body cover.

[0017] Optionally, the body also includes a plurality of wheels, which are mounted on the fixed frame assembly.

[0018] The ultrasonic cleaner provided by this invention first mounts an ultrasonic transducer plate to the first inner wall surface of the cleaning tank. Server fixing components are then installed on the second and third inner wall surfaces adjacent to the first inner wall surface to secure the server to be cleaned. By providing server fixing blocks on the server fixing components that precisely match the server, the server can be accurately fixed to the corresponding blocks, ensuring that the surface of the server to be cleaned is exposed as completely as possible to the energy range emitted by the ultrasonic transducer plate, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the ultrasonic cleaner. Furthermore, this invention also includes a cleaning agent circulation and filtration device. During the cleaning process, the ultrasonic energy effectively removes dirt from the server surface, which is then discharged from the outlet at the bottom of the cleaning tank through the cleaning agent circulation and filtration device. Traditional bottom-mounted ultrasonic transducers tend to retain the removed dirt on the transducer plate during cleaning, thus affecting the ultrasonic emission effect and service life. The side-mounting method adopted in this invention not only effectively avoids this problem and ensures stable output of ultrasonic energy, but also ensures that the ultrasonic energy is evenly and efficiently applied to every corner of the server by fixing the server in the cleaning tank through the server fixing component. Compared with the traditional method of placing the server randomly in the cleaning tank, the method of fixing the vibrating plate to the server improves the utilization rate of ultrasonic energy and optimizes the flow path of the cleaning fluid, so that the cleaning fluid can circulate more smoothly, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described are intended to explain this utility model and should not be construed as limiting it.

[0028] The terms "an embodiment," "example," or "trademark" used in this specification refer to a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment itself that may be included in at least one embodiment disclosed in this utility model. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0029] The cleaning effect of a server is closely related to the ultrasonic energy transmitted by the vibrating plate and the ultrasonic energy reaching the server surface. Existing ultrasonic cleaners lack server fixing components, allowing servers to be placed haphazardly in the cleaning tank. This can result in some server surfaces being obstructed by the tank walls or other objects, leading to uneven distribution of ultrasonic energy reaching the server surface. Furthermore, traditional ultrasonic vibrating plates are often bottom-mounted. While this installation method ensures that ultrasonic energy radiates upwards from the bottom, it is easily obstructed by the flow of cleaning agent. Additionally, bottom-mounted vibrating plates may accumulate dirt generated during the cleaning process, causing ultrasonic energy attenuation and further reducing cleaning efficiency. These design flaws in existing ultrasonic cleaners result in a smaller exposed surface area of ​​the server in the cleaning tank, and the arbitrary positioning of the server and vibrating plate prevents ultrasonic energy from reaching the server surface effectively and evenly, affecting cleaning results and efficiency.

[0030] In view of the above, as a first aspect of this utility model, an ultrasonic cleaner is provided, comprising a body, an ultrasonic generator 300, a cleaning agent circulation and filtration device 400, a liquid container shell 500, and a plurality of vibrating plates 200. The ultrasonic generator 300, the cleaning agent circulation and filtration device 400, and the liquid container shell 500 are disposed within the body. The ultrasonic generator 300 and the cleaning agent circulation and filtration device 400 are both disposed on the outer side of the liquid container shell 500. The vibrating plate 200 includes a transducer and a vibrating plate body. The transducer is disposed on the vibrating plate body. The output end of the ultrasonic generator 300 is electrically connected to the transducer of the vibrating plate 200. The ultrasonic cleaner further includes a plurality of server fixing components 100. The liquid container shell 500 includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a third sidewall. The first sidewall and the second sidewall are adjacent to each other, and the first sidewall and the third sidewall are adjacent to each other. The vibrating plate 200 is disposed on the inner surface of the first sidewall. The plurality of server fixing components 100 are respectively disposed on the inner surface of the second sidewall and the inner surface of the third sidewall.

[0031] like Figure 1 The ultrasonic cleaner shown has a vibrating plate 200 and a server fixing assembly 100 respectively mounted on the inner surfaces of the first, second, and third side walls of the liquid container 500. When the server to be cleaned is fixed to the server fixing assembly 100, there is no obstruction between the server surface and the vibrating plate 200, allowing the server surface to be exposed as completely as possible to the energy range emitted by the ultrasonic vibrating plate 200. The ultrasonic energy can act directly and evenly on the server surface, removing dirt. Simultaneously, under the action of the cleaning machine's circulating filtration device, the dirt can be discharged from the liquid container 500 along the flow direction of the cleaning agent. Compared with the traditional bottom-mounted type, the side-mounted vibrating plate 200 also avoids the adhesion of detached dirt to the vibrating plate 200, thus avoiding affecting the ultrasonic emission effect and service life.

[0032] The vibrating plate 200 and the server mounting assembly 100 are respectively fixed at different positions in the liquid tank containing part. As an optional embodiment, multiple vibrating plates 200 are disposed at the same height on the inner surface of the first sidewall, and multiple server mounting assemblies 100 are respectively disposed at the same height on the inner surfaces of the second and third sidewalls. It should be particularly noted that the installation height of the vibrating plate 200 is lower than the installation height of the server mounting assembly 100; this height difference reduces the waste of ultrasonic energy.

[0033] A detailed structural description of the server fixed component 100 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the server mounting component 100 includes a plurality of server mounting blocks 101, and a plurality of mounting ports matching the server are formed on the server mounting blocks 101. The plurality of mounting ports in the server mounting blocks 101 are arranged at equal intervals.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1 The liquid container shell 500 shown has an opening, and a liquid container cover 600 is provided at the opening to seal the opening of the liquid container shell 500. The liquid container cover 600 and the opening are connected by a hinge 800 for opening and closing the liquid container shell 500. A first gas strut 900 is provided between the opening and the liquid container cover 600, and the two ends of the first gas strut 900 are respectively connected to the opening and the liquid container cover 600. The liquid container cover 600 also includes a rotating handle 700, which is located on the side of the liquid container cover 600 away from the opening. A fixing seat is also provided at the opening, and the fixing seat is provided with a slot 201. When the rotating handle 700 is inserted into the slot 201, the liquid container cover 600 is fixed to the opening.

[0035] like Figure 3 The ultrasonic cleaner shown also includes a housing 202 inside the machine body. The housing 202 is located outside the liquid container 500 and at the same height as the opening.

[0036] The relationship between the electrical control box 203, the ultrasonic generator 300, and the cleaning machine's circulating filter device is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, in one optional embodiment, the ultrasonic cleaner further includes an electrical control box 203 and an operation panel 204. The electrical control box 203 is disposed outside the liquid container shell 500 and between the ultrasonic generator 300 and the cleaning agent circulation and filtration device 400. The machine body includes a first outer shell 205 and a second outer shell 206. The two ends of the first outer shell 205 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second outer shell 206. The electrical control box 203 is disposed at the connection between the first outer shell 205 and the second outer shell 206, and the operation panel 204 is disposed on the second outer shell 206.

[0037] More specifically, the machine body includes a first layer plate 207 and a second layer plate 208, with the first layer plate 207 and the second layer plate 208 adjacent to each other; the first layer plate 207 is located at the connection between the first outer shell 205 and the second outer shell 206, and the electrical control box 203 is fixed at the connection via an adapter plate 209; an ultrasonic generator 300 is provided on the second layer plate 208 adjacent to the first layer plate 207.

[0038] like Figure 3In one optional embodiment, the ultrasonic cleaner further includes a base plate, a fixing frame assembly for fixing the base plate, the first outer shell 205, and the second outer shell 206. The base plate, the first outer shell 205, the second outer shell 206, and the fixing frame assembly together form a receiving opening on the machine body. A body cover 301 is provided at the receiving opening to seal the receiving opening. The body cover 301 and the receiving opening are connected by a hinge 302. A second gas strut 303 is provided between the receiving opening and the body cover 301, with both ends of the second gas strut 303 connected to the receiving opening and the body cover 301, respectively. A locking lock 304 is provided on the second outer shell 206 to fasten the body cover 301.

[0039] More specifically, the machine body also includes multiple wheels 305, which are mounted on the fixed frame assembly. It should be noted that the wheels 305 are swivel wheels with braking functionality.

[0040] The ultrasonic cleaning machine provided by this utility model first mounts the ultrasonic transducer 200 to the first inner wall surface of the cleaning tank. Server fixing components 100 are then installed on the second and third inner wall surfaces adjacent to the first inner wall surface to fix the server to be cleaned. By providing server fixing blocks 101 on the server fixing components 100 that precisely match the server to be cleaned, the server can be accurately fixed to the corresponding fixing blocks, ensuring that the surface of the server to be cleaned is exposed as completely as possible within the energy range emitted by the ultrasonic transducer 200, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the ultrasonic cleaning machine on the server. Furthermore, this utility model also includes a cleaning agent circulation and filtration device 400. During the cleaning process, the ultrasonic energy can effectively remove dirt from the server surface, and this dirt is discharged from the outlet at the bottom of the cleaning tank through the cleaning agent circulation and filtration device 400. Traditional bottom-mounted ultrasonic transducers 200 are prone to adhering to the transducer 200 during the cleaning process, thus affecting the ultrasonic emission effect and service life. The side-mounting method adopted in this invention not only effectively avoids this problem and ensures stable output of ultrasonic energy, but also ensures that the ultrasonic energy is evenly and efficiently applied to every corner of the server by fixing the server in the cleaning tank through the server fixing component 100. Compared with the traditional method of placing the server randomly in the cleaning tank, the fixing method of the vibrating plate 200 to the server improves the utilization rate of ultrasonic energy and optimizes the flow path of the cleaning fluid, so that the cleaning fluid can circulate more smoothly, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect.

[0041] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model includes, but is not limited to, the contents described in the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments above. Any modifications that do not depart from the functional and structural principles of this utility model will be included within the scope of the claims.
