Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cleaning device for glass production, and more particularly to a cleaning device for optical glass production applied in the field of cleaning devices. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of ophthalmology, high-precision instruments such as laser treatment equipment and fundus imaging systems place stringent demands on the performance of optical glass. The core requirement is to simultaneously achieve high transmittance and zero optical distortion to ensure diagnostic accuracy. The surface cleanliness and microscopic flatness directly affect optical performance; even nanoscale particle residues or micron-level scratches can cause light scattering and transmittance shifts, thus impacting diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, cleaning equipment used in the production of this type of glass needs to overcome the bottlenecks of traditional cleaning technologies.

[0003] Chinese patent CN207170347U discloses an optical glass cleaning machine, including a main frame, an emergency stop button, conveyor rollers, a protective sleeve, cleaning components, and a drying component. This utility model has a scientifically sound and reasonable structure, is safe and convenient to use, and is equipped with components such as hollow plates and filter screens. The wastewater after cleaning can be filtered and recycled, avoiding water waste and reducing production costs. The protective sleeve increases the safety factor of transporting optical glass on the conveyor rollers and also increases the yield rate of finished optical glass. The emergency stop button can quickly cut off the power to the optical glass cleaning machine in the event of an emergency to prevent accidents.

[0004] Chinese patent CN204052216U discloses an optical glass cleaning machine, including a cleaning machine housing. Inside the housing are an optical glass conveying device and several sets of cleaning devices arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the optical glass conveying device. This invention features an intelligent spray device for timed and quantitative spraying; the use of a heating rod ensures thorough cleaning of the optical glass; a lifting device controls the up-and-down movement of the cleaners to ensure pressure between the cleaners and the optical glass, guaranteeing the cleaning effect; after cleaning, an ion fan removes static electricity, and a coating device applies a film to effectively protect the optical glass.

[0005] Traditional cleaning devices have poor size adaptability when processing such precision optical glass. The clamp spacing needs to be manually adjusted for glass sheets of different specifications. This is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also prone to clamp position deviation due to human error, affecting the uniformity of cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem that this utility model aims to solve in view of the above-mentioned prior art is that traditional cleaning devices have poor size adaptability when processing such precision optical glass. For glass sheets of different specifications, the clamp spacing needs to be adjusted manually, which is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also prone to clamp position deviation due to human error, affecting the uniformity of cleaning.

[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a cleaning device for optical glass production, comprising an ultrasonic cleaning assembly, a basket support assembly, and a gap clamping assembly. The ultrasonic cleaning assembly includes multiple horizontally arranged ultrasonic cleaning pool frames, and the basket support assembly includes a basket support frame extending sequentially into the multiple ultrasonic cleaning pool frames. A central column is symmetrically fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the basket support frame. A bottom anti-fall crossbar is fixedly fixed to the upper side of the middle of the basket support frame, and central columns are symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper ends of the bottom anti-fall crossbar. Electrical push rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the central columns. A sliding U-shaped guide is slidably connected between the front and rear central columns. The output end of the electrical push rod is connected to the side end of the corresponding sliding U-shaped guide. Multiple silicone abutment sheets arranged vertically and equidistantly are installed on the inner wall of the central columns.

[0008] In the aforementioned cleaning device for optical glass production, this solution uses an electric push rod to drive the sliding guide to automatically adjust the spacing. During the cleaning process, the gap clamping assembly maintains the stability of the glass synchronously when switching contact positions through the coordinated action of the linkage rod, ensuring that ultrasonic cleaning can fully cover the glass surface and significantly improve the cleaning uniformity and cleanliness.

[0009] As a further improvement of this application, an electrical guide rail is installed at the rear end of the ultrasonic cleaning tank frame, and a roller guide belt is installed on the upper side between two adjacent ultrasonic cleaning tank frames.

[0010] As a further improvement of this application, the silicone abutment sheet has multiple clamping grooves at one end near the bottom anti-fall crossbar, and the glass sheet is clamped between two clamping grooves.

[0011] As a further improvement of this application, a protruding carrying handle is fixedly connected to the upper end of the basket support frame, and a scale ruler is fixedly connected to the upper end of the central column.

[0012] As another improvement of this application, the gap clamping assembly includes multiple internal channels fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding U-shaped guide, and miniature electric actuators are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the internal channels.

[0013] As a further improvement to this application, the output ends of the multiple miniature electric actuators are respectively equipped with a push linkage rod one, a push linkage rod two, and a push linkage rod three.

[0014] As a further improvement to this application, multiple silicone pads are interconnected with push linkage rod one, push linkage rod two, and push linkage rod three, respectively.

[0015] In summary, this solution automatically adjusts the spacing of the sliding guide frame via an electrically driven push rod, adapting to glass sheets of different sizes without manual intervention. This significantly reduces the tediousness and errors of manual operation, improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment. The combination design of the silicone abutment and clamping groove not only firmly grips the glass edge to prevent slippage but also utilizes the flexibility of silicone to avoid scratching the glass during clamping, effectively protecting the precision surface of the optical glass. During the cleaning process, the gap clamping assembly maintains the stability of the glass simultaneously when switching abutment positions through the coordinated action of the linkage rod. This eliminates the contact blind spots of traditional clamping methods and prevents the glass from tipping over due to changes in force, ensuring that ultrasonic cleaning can fully cover the glass surface and significantly improving cleaning uniformity and cleanliness.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The two embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] First implementation method:

[0027] Figures 1-5 This invention discloses a cleaning apparatus for optical glass production, comprising an ultrasonic cleaning assembly 1, a basket support assembly 2 disposed within the ultrasonic cleaning assembly 1, and a gap clamping assembly 3 disposed within the basket support assembly 2. The ultrasonic cleaning assembly 1 includes a plurality of horizontally arranged ultrasonic cleaning tank frames 102, and the basket support assembly 2 includes a basket support frame 200 extending sequentially into the plurality of ultrasonic cleaning tank frames 102. A central column 202 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the basket support frame 200, and the middle portion of the basket support frame 200... A bottom anti-fall crossbar 201 is fixed on the upper side. A central column 202 is symmetrically fixed to both sides of the upper end of the bottom anti-fall crossbar 201. An electric push rod 203 is symmetrically fixed to both ends of the central column 202. The electric push rod can be of the Linak LA36 series. A sliding U-shaped guide 204 is slidably connected between the front and rear central columns 202. The output end of the electric push rod 203 is connected to the side end of the corresponding sliding U-shaped guide 204. Multiple silicone abutment pieces 205 are installed on the inner wall of the central column 202 in a vertical and equidistant manner.

[0028] An electric guide rail 103 is installed at the rear end of the ultrasonic cleaning tank frame 102. A roller guide belt 100 is installed on the upper side between two adjacent ultrasonic cleaning tank frames 102. A silicone abutment 205 has multiple clamping grooves 206 at one end near the bottom anti-fall crossbar 201. A glass sheet is clamped between two clamping grooves 206. A protruding handle 207 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the basket support frame 200. A scale ruler 208 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the central column 202.

[0029] Figures 1-5When this solution is in operation, the optical glass sheet to be cleaned is first placed in the basket support assembly 2, specifically fixed by multiple vertically and equidistantly arranged silicone abutment pieces 205 installed on the inner wall of the central column 202. At this time, the electric push rods 203, which are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the central column 202, are simultaneously activated. Through the rigid connection between their output ends and the sides of the sliding U-shaped guide 204, which is slidably connected between the front and rear central columns 202, the sliding U-shaped guide 204 is driven to slide smoothly in the horizontal direction. This automated adjustment process requires no manual intervention, which can quickly respond to the size requirements of glass sheets of different specifications, and ensure the consistency of spacing adjustment through precise displacement control, greatly improving the equipment's adaptability to diverse production tasks. After adjustment, using... Multiple clamping grooves 206 are opened at one end of the silicone abutment 205 near the bottom anti-fall crossbar 201, so that two opposite clamping grooves 206 precisely bite the edge of the glass sheet to form a stable clamp. After the glass sheet is clamped, the basket support frame 200 moves along the roller guide belt 100 installed on the upper side between two adjacent ultrasonic cleaning tank frames 102, and extends into the multiple horizontally arranged ultrasonic cleaning tank frames 102 included in the ultrasonic cleaning assembly 1, and officially starts the cleaning process. During this process, the roller guide belt 100 continuously provides guidance and support for the basket support assembly 2. The ultrasonic cleaning tank frame 102 is pre-filled with cleaning agent, and the ultrasonic transducer plates at the bottom and sides start 20kHz low-frequency vibration, which removes oil and impurities from the glass surface through the liquid cavitation effect.

[0030] Second implementation method:

[0031] Figures 6-7 A cleaning apparatus for optical glass production is shown. The gap clamping assembly 3 includes multiple internal channels 300 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding U-shaped guide 204. Miniature electric actuators 301 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the internal channels 300. Homson Electrorak HD miniature electric actuators can be selected. The output ends of the multiple miniature electric actuators 301 are respectively equipped with a first push linkage rod 3020, a second push linkage rod 3021, and a third push linkage rod 3022. Multiple silicone abutment sheets 205 are interconnected with the first push linkage rod 3021, the second push linkage rod 3021, and the third push linkage rod 3022.

[0032] During the cleaning process, within the multiple internal channels 300 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding U-shaped guide 204, the micro electric push rods 301 fixed to the inner wall begin to work. Their output ends drive the first push linkage rod 3020, the second push linkage rod 3021, and the third push linkage rod 3022 to move respectively. The first push linkage rod 3020 alternately abuts against the side end of the glass sheet in sequence. During the switching of abutment positions, the second push linkage rod 3021 simultaneously forms a stable abutment against both ends of the glass sheet to prevent it from tipping over due to changes in force. At the same time, the third push linkage rod 3022 causes the silicone abutment piece 205 to produce a slight displacement, continuously changing the contact position between the clamping groove 206 and the glass sheet, thereby completely eliminating the cleaning blind spots in the clamping area and ensuring that the ultrasonic cleaning assembly 1 can perform comprehensive and uniform cleaning on the glass sheet.

[0033] In light of current practical needs, the above-described embodiments adopted in this application are not limited to these. Any changes made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
