[0023] The lifting structure includes a pad 14, a stud 16, and a motor 17. A blocking plate 15 is fixedly installed on the rear inner wall of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1. The stud 16 is rotatably installed between the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 and the blocking plate 15. The pad 14 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the lifting plate 2 and threaded onto the outer wall of the stud 16. The motor 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the blocking plate 15, and the rotating shaft of the motor 17 passes through the blocking plate 15 and is fixedly connected to the stud 16. The drive structure 6 includes a gear ring 61, a U-shaped block 62, a gear 63, and a motor 64. The outer wall of the mesh cylinder 5 is provided with an annular opening. The gear ring 61 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the annular opening. The U-shaped block... 62 is located on the top of the lifting plate 2. Gear 63 is rotatably installed inside the U-shaped block 62. Motor 64 is fixedly installed on the right side of the U-shaped block 62. The shaft of motor 64 passes through the U-shaped block 62 and is fixedly connected to gear 63. Gear 63 meshes with gear ring 61.

During the process, it can also drive the rotation of the mesh cylinder 5, which makes it easy to flip and shake the bolts inside, reducing the accumulation of bolts and preventing some bolts from not being cleaned thoroughly, thus improving the cleaning quality. On the other hand, it can also drive the lifting plate 2 to rise and fall. Combined with the rotation of the mesh cylinder 5, it can further improve the situation where bolts are not blocked locally. At the same time, it is convenient to pick up and put down the mesh cylinder 5, making loading and unloading more convenient, improving processing efficiency, and enhancing the practicality of the tooling.

[0024] Working principle: The motor 64 drives the gear 63 to rotate, and the gear 63 meshes and drives the gear ring 61 to rotate, which in turn drives the mesh cylinder 5 to rotate. At the same time, the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 is controlled to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the bolts inside the mesh cylinder 5. During the process, the motor 17 can also be controlled to drive the stud 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the pad 14 and the lifting plate 2 to move. Controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 17 shaft can drive the lifting plate 2 to move up and down. After cleaning, the motor 17 drives the lifting plate 2 to the top, and then the handle 8 is pulled to disassemble the mesh cylinder 5. Then another set of mesh cylinders 5 with unprocessed bolts already placed inside is installed, and then cleaning continues.
