Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model discloses a cleaning device, belonging to the field of cleaning machine technology, specifically relating to a single-unit double-tank cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasonic cleaners utilize the cavitation effect generated by high-frequency vibrations to efficiently remove stubborn stains from surfaces and crevices, making them suitable for various applications including industry, medicine, and home use. Ultrasonic cleaners use high-frequency vibrations (typically 20kHz-100kHz) to create cavitation in liquids, forming tiny bubbles that burst instantly, releasing shock waves and high-temperature, high-pressure energy. This physical action can remove oil, debris, microorganisms, and other contaminants from object surfaces, and is particularly effective at cleaning complex structures that are difficult to clean using traditional methods.

[0003] Traditional ultrasonic cleaners use a freestanding cleaning structure, with ultrasonic transducers installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank for operation (e.g., Figure 1 (As shown), but sonic cleaning usually requires two cleaning steps (pre-wash and rinse). Existing technology either uses two cleaning machines to perform the work separately or uses one cleaning machine to perform the work twice. Both of these methods have the following problems:

[0004] 1. Using two cleaning machines will increase costs;

[0005] 2. Using a single cleaning machine requires frequent water changes, which reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] Purpose of the utility model: To provide a single-unit dual-tank cleaning machine to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0007] Technical solution: A single-unit dual-tank cleaning machine, the cleaning machine comprising: a cleaning container, an ultrasonic transducer, and a drive circuit;

[0008] The ultrasonic transducer and the driving circuit are installed in the cleaning container and the ultrasonic transducer is electrically connected to the driving circuit.

[0009] The cleaning container includes a first cleaning tank, a second cleaning tank, and a mounting cavity. The first cleaning tank and the second cleaning tank are located on both sides of the mounting cavity. The ultrasonic transducer and the driving circuit are installed in the mounting cavity. The ultrasonic transducer is located between the first cleaning tank and the second cleaning tank to emit ultrasonic waves to the first cleaning tank and the second cleaning tank.

[0010] In a further embodiment, the drive circuit is located at the bottom of the mounting cavity and is connected to a power source via an interface.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the ultrasonic transducer includes: a piezoelectric ceramic sheet, a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, a first insulating sheet, and a second insulating sheet;

[0012] The positive electrode and the negative electrode are respectively fixedly installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet. The first insulating sheet is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the positive electrode and the second insulating sheet is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the negative electrode.

[0013] In a further embodiment, the positive electrode and the negative electrode are respectively connected to the driving circuit via electrode leads.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model separates one container into two containers, and emits ultrasonic waves into the water in the left and right containers through the two sound-emitting surfaces of the ultrasonic transducer, thereby replacing two traditional cleaning machines, greatly reducing cleaning costs and improving the utilization rate of the ultrasonic transducer.

[0016] 2. Two separate tanks are used for washing and rinsing, allowing for simultaneous initial washing and rinsing. This enables two washing cycles to be completed in one go without the need to change the water in between, greatly improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0023] A single-unit dual-tank cleaning machine includes: a cleaning container 8, an ultrasonic transducer 9, and a drive circuit 10.

[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the ultrasonic transducer 9 and the driving circuit 10 are installed in the cleaning container 8 and the ultrasonic transducer 9 is electrically connected to the driving circuit 10.

[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning container 8 includes a first cleaning tank 11, a second cleaning tank 12, and a mounting cavity 13. The first cleaning tank 11 and the second cleaning tank 12 are located on both sides of the mounting cavity 13. The ultrasonic transducer 9 and the driving circuit 10 are installed inside the mounting cavity 13. The ultrasonic transducer 9 is located between the first cleaning tank 11 and the second cleaning tank 12 to emit ultrasonic waves to the first cleaning tank 11 and the second cleaning tank 12.

[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drive circuit 10 is located at the bottom of the mounting cavity 13 and is connected to the power supply through the interface 7.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the ultrasonic transducer 9 includes: a piezoelectric ceramic sheet 1, a positive electrode sheet 2, a negative electrode sheet 3, a first insulating sheet 4, and a second insulating sheet 5;

[0028] The positive electrode 2 and the negative electrode 3 are respectively fixedly installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 1. The first insulating sheet 4 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the positive electrode 2, and the second insulating sheet 5 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the negative electrode 3.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the positive electrode 2 and the negative electrode 3 are respectively connected to the driving circuit 10 through electrode leads 6.

[0030] Working principle: When this invention is in operation, firstly, cleaning fluid and detergent are added to the first cleaning tank 11 of the cleaning container 8, and cleaning fluid is added to the second cleaning tank 12. Then, the items to be cleaned are placed into the first cleaning tank 11. Subsequently, the power is connected through the interface 7, and the cleaning parameters and time are set through the drive circuit 10. The high-speed wave transducer operates, and voltage is input to the positive electrode plate 2 and the negative electrode plate 3 through the electrode lead 6. Then, the piezoelectric ceramic plate 1 converts electrical energy into sound energy, which is transmitted to the first cleaning tank 11 and the second cleaning tank 12 through the insulating sheet. Then, the first cleaning tank 11 performs the initial cleaning. After the initial cleaning, the items are moved to the second cleaning tank 12. At the same time, new items to be cleaned are added to the first cleaning tank 11, and the high-speed wave transducer operates again. The first cleaning tank 11 performs the initial cleaning, and the second cleaning tank 12 performs the rinsing, thus completing the simultaneous operation.

[0031] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
