The drying area is connected to a hot air system, and the cleaning area is equipped with a cleaning water tank. An air outlet is located at the top of the cleaning cabinet. A horizontally arranged hanging rod is located above the cleaning water tank. The hanging rod is used to hang lead aprons. The cleaning cabinet is equipped with a lifting drive mechanism that drives the hanging rod to move down into the cleaning water tank for cleaning.
[0006] An ultrasonic transducer vibrator is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank, and the cleaning equipment also includes an ultrasonic generator connected to the ultrasonic transducer vibrator.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the cleaning tank is equipped with a water outlet, which is connected to an electrically controlled water outlet valve. The side wall of the cleaning tank is also equipped with a water inlet and a cleaning fluid inlet. The upper side wall of the cleaning tank is equipped with an overflow outlet. The water inlet is connected to a water source through an electrically controlled water inlet valve, and the cleaning fluid inlet is connected to a cleaning fluid tank through a liquid inlet pump.
[0008] Furthermore, a high-level water level sensor for high-level water level detection is installed on the side wall of the cleaning water tank, and an emptying detection water level sensor is installed at the bottom.
[0009] Furthermore, the cleaning cabinet includes a rectangular frame, on which left and right side panels, a top panel, a bottom panel, and a rear panel are fixed and sealed together as a whole. The bottom panel of the cleaning cabinet is higher than the bottom height of the cleaning cabinet. The cleaning water tank is embedded in the bottom panel of the cleaning area and is suspended at the bottom.
[0010] Furthermore, the hot air system includes multiple air inlet distribution boxes that are sealed and connected to both sides of the back of the rear panel and arranged vertically. At least one exhaust hole is opened on the rear panel inside the air inlet distribution box. A hot air fan is installed on the top of the cleaning cabinet, and the hot air outlet of the hot air fan is connected to the air inlet distribution box through a pipeline.
[0011] Furthermore, the lifting drive mechanism includes an upper sprocket and a lower sprocket rotatably mounted on the back of the rear side panel of the cleaning cabinet. The upper and lower sprockets are arranged vertically, with their axes set horizontally and located in the middle of the width of the cleaning cabinet. A chain is engaged between the upper and lower sprockets, and a vertically arranged slide rail is provided in the chain. A slider is slidably mounted on the front side of the slide rail, and a slider bracket is fixedly mounted on the front side of the slider. The sliding bracket passes forward through the rear side panel and connects to the middle of the hanging rod. The sliding bracket is also fixedly connected to the front section of the chain. A gap is left between the rear side panels to form a groove that facilitates the sliding bracket to slide up and down.
[0012] Furthermore, a polyurethane sealing strip is provided in the slide groove. There are two polyurethane sealing strips on the left and right sides, forming a V-shaped structure with the front end facing forward. The sliding bracket passes through the polyurethane sealing strips on both sides. The rear sides of the polyurethane sealing strips on both sides extend out of the slide groove of the rear side plate and are bent outward and fixed to the rear side plate.
[0013] Furthermore, the switch door is a double door, with a protruding stop bar on the inner end of one side of the switch door and a groove on the inner end of the other side of the switch door that presses the stop bar backward when closed and cooperates with the stop bar to form a stop.
[0014] Furthermore, the recessed door is locked to the cleaning cabinet via a magnetic lock.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1) No friction is generated during ultrasonic cleaning, thus reducing wear and tear on clothing and protecting the integrity of the fabric. It uses ultrasonic vibrations to penetrate fabric fibers, removing deep-seated dirt while maintaining the fabric's softness and extending the lifespan of clothing; 2) The cavitation effect and mechanical vibration of ultrasound can destroy the structure of bacteria and viruses, thereby achieving sterilization and disinfection; 3) This invention includes a drying mechanism that dries clothing after cleaning, eliminating the need for natural drying.

The polyurethane sealing strip 38 has two strips on the left and right sides, forming a V-shaped structure with the front end facing forward. The sliding bracket 36 passes through the polyurethane sealing strips 38 on both sides. The rear sides of the polyurethane sealing strips 38 on both sides extend backward from the rear side plate 7 and are bent outward and fixed to the rear side plate 1.6.
[0032] An ultrasonic transducer 42 is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 3. An ultrasonic generator 47 connected to the ultrasonic transducer 42 is installed on the top of the cleaning cabinet 1. Furthermore, ultrasonic transducers 42 are installed on the bottom and front and rear side walls of the cleaning tank 3.
[0033] The hot air system includes multiple air inlet distribution boxes 43 that are sealed and connected to both sides of the back of the rear panel 1.6 and arranged vertically. At least one exhaust hole 44 is provided on the rear panel 1.6 inside the air inlet distribution box 43. A hot air blower 45 is installed on the top of the cleaning cabinet 1. The hot air outlet of the hot air blower 45 is connected to the air inlet distribution box 43 through a pipeline.
[0034] The working process of this utility model:
[0035] The lead apron is hung on the hanging rod 25 using a clothes hanger (preferably an anti-fall hanger). The switch door 2 is closed, and cleaning water is injected into the cleaning tank 3 through the water inlet 16. The cleaning solution in the cleaning solution tank 21 is injected into the cleaning tank 3 through the infusion pump 20. The lifting drive motor 30 drives the chain 31 to rotate, moving the lead apron hanging on the hanging rod 25 into the cleaning tank 3. The ultrasonic generator 47 is then activated to clean the lead apron using ultrasonic waves. After washing, open the electrically controlled water outlet valve 15 to drain the wastewater. Then, inject cleaning water into the cleaning water tank 3 through the water inlet 16. At the same time, rinse multiple times under the action of ultrasonic waves until the water is rinsed clean. Finally, the lifting drive motor 30 drives the chain 31 to rotate, causing the lead apron protective clothing hanging on the hanging rod 25 to lift up and detach from the cleaning water tank. At the same time, the hot air blower 45 introduces hot air into the front cavity 5 through the air inlet diverter box 43 to dry the lead apron protective clothing. After drying, take out the lead apron protective clothing.
