Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical lens technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic cleaning device for optical lenses. Background Technology

[0002] Optical lenses are transparent materials with one or more curved surfaces, made of optical materials such as glass or resin. During the manufacturing process, optical lenses require coating. Before coating, the lenses need to be cleaned to remove oil, dirt, and other contaminants, ensuring a clean surface and thus guaranteeing the coating effect. Ultrasonic cleaning equipment is used for cleaning optical lenses. In ultrasonic cleaning, the glass is placed in a stainless steel container filled with cleaning fluid. Transducers installed at the bottom or side of the container convert the input electrical oscillations into mechanical oscillations, cleaning the glass under low- or high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations.

[0003] According to the description in the patent application CN213316557U, "This utility model discloses an ultrasonic cleaning device for optical lenses, including a base plate. A cleaning tank is fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the base plate. An ultrasonic generator is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the cleaning tank. A first water pump is connected to the bottom of the left side of the cleaning tank, and an electric valve is connected to the inner cavity of the first water pump. This utility model achieves the advantage of filtering the cleaning fluid by setting up a first water pump, an electric valve, a first water pump, a first installation mechanism, a first water outlet pipe, a filter box, an air outlet groove, a guide plate, a filter mechanism, a second water pump, a second installation mechanism, a second water outlet pipe, and a dustproof net in cooperation. This allows the ultrasonic cleaning device to effectively filter the cleaning fluid during use, avoiding a large amount of waste of the cleaning fluid, reducing the cost of use, and meeting the user's needs."

[0004] Regarding the above description, the applicant believes the following problems exist: When using the cleaning device, the cleaning solution is poured into the cleaning tank, the optical lens is placed into the cleaning tank, and then the ultrasonic generator is turned on for cleaning.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-7This utility model provides an embodiment of an ultrasonic cleaning device for optical lenses, including a base 1; it also includes a housing 201 and a filter and recovery assembly. The housing 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a cleaning tank 202 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the housing 201, an ultrasonic generator 203 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning tank 202, a cleaning basket 204 is slidably connected to the outside of the cleaning tank 202, a divider 205 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the cleaning basket 204, and the bottom of the cleaning tank 202... A heating plate 206 is fixedly connected. A liquid storage tank 207 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A water outlet pipe 208 is fixedly connected inside the liquid storage tank 207. A valve body 209 is threadedly connected inside the water outlet pipe 208. A valve core 210 is slidably connected inside the valve body 209. A valve disc 211 is fixedly connected to the outside of the valve core 210. A shaft 212 is fixedly connected inside the valve body 209. A lever 213 is rotatably connected to the outside of the shaft 212. A connecting rod 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the lever 213. 14. A float 215 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 214, a connecting rope 216 is fixedly connected to the outside of the lever 213, a gravity block 217 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rope 216, and a filter recovery assembly is fixedly connected to the inside of the housing 201. When using this device, first add an appropriate amount of cleaning fluid to the storage tank 207 and the cleaning tank 202, then place the cleaning basket 204 into the cleaning tank 202, and then place an appropriate amount of optical lenses into the dividers 205 inside the cleaning basket 204. In the process, the heating plate 206 is adjusted to a suitable temperature via the control panel, and the ultrasonic generator 203 is turned on. After cleaning, the lens is removed. At this time, the liquid level in the cleaning tank 202 drops, the float 215 descends, the valve core 210 opens, and the water outlet pipe 208 opens. Since the storage tank 207 is higher than the cleaning tank 202, the cleaning fluid in the storage tank 207 flows into the cleaning tank 202 under the action of gravity. When the liquid level returns to its original height, the float 215 rises and the valve core 210 closes.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment, the cleaning tank 202 has a through hole, and the water outlet pipe 208 is fixedly connected to the through hole. Because of the water outlet pipe 208, the storage tank 207 and the cleaning tank 202 are connected. When the float 215 rises, the valve core 210 will close; when the float 215 falls, the valve core 210 will open. The float 215 facilitates control of the opening and closing of the valve core 210. When the gravity block 217 is in a natural falling state, the valve core 210 will be forcibly closed. The gravity block 217 facilitates the forced closure of the valve core 210 when the liquid level in the cleaning tank 202 is too low. The bottom of the valve body 209 has a water outlet hole. When the valve core 210 opens, the water outlet hole opens; when the valve core 210 closes, the water outlet hole closes. The water outlet hole facilitates coordination with the opening and closing of the valve core 210.

[0020] Please see Figures 6-7 In this embodiment, the filtration and recovery assembly includes a filter box 301. The filter box 301 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A filter basket 302 is slidably connected to the outside of the filter box 301. A coarse filter layer 303 is fixedly connected inside the filter basket 302. A fine filter layer 304 is fixedly connected inside the filter basket 302. An ultrafiltration layer 305 is fixedly connected inside the filter basket 302. A second water outlet pipe 306 is fixedly connected inside the filter box 301. A first water pump 307 is fixedly connected to the outside of the filter box 301. A first water pump pipe 308 is connected to the output end of the first water pump 307. An electric water valve 309 is fixedly connected inside the first water pump pipe 308. A second water pump pipe 310 is fixedly connected inside the filter box 301. The outside of the filter box 301 is fixedly connected to the base 1. A second water pump 311 is connected to the cleaning tank 202, and the output end of the second water pump 311 is connected to a third water outlet pipe 312. When the cleaning solution in the cleaning tank 202 needs to be filtered, the cleaning device is turned off through the control panel, and the electric water valve 309 and the first water pump 307 are turned on to pump the cleaning solution in the cleaning tank 202 into the filter box 301. After completion, the electric water valve 309 and the first water pump 307 are turned off, and the second water pump 311 is turned on again to pump the cleaning solution that has passed through three layers of filtration back into the cleaning tank 202. When the electric water valve 309 is turned on, the inside of the first water outlet pipe 308 will be closed. When the electric water valve 309 is turned off, the inside of the first water outlet pipe 308 will be unobstructed. The electric water valve 309 is provided to facilitate the control of the opening and closing of the first water outlet pipe 308.

[0021] During operation, first add an appropriate amount of cleaning fluid to the storage tank 207 and the cleaning tank 202. Then, place the cleaning basket 204 into the cleaning tank 202 and place an appropriate amount of optical lenses into the dividers 205 inside the cleaning basket 204. Adjust the heating plate 206 to a suitable temperature using the control panel and turn on the ultrasonic generator 203. After cleaning, remove the lenses. At this time, the liquid level in the cleaning tank 202 drops, the float 215 descends, the valve core 210 opens, and the water outlet pipe 208 opens. Since the storage tank 207 is higher than the cleaning tank 202, the cleaning fluid in the storage tank 207 flows into the cleaning tank 202 under gravity. When the liquid level returns to its original height, the float 215 rises and the valve core 210 closes.

[0022] Through the above steps, when using this device, first add an appropriate amount of cleaning fluid to the storage tank 207 and the cleaning tank 202, then place the cleaning basket 204 into the cleaning tank 202, and place an appropriate amount of optical lenses into the dividers 205 inside the cleaning basket 204 in sequence. Adjust the heating plate 206 to a suitable temperature through the control panel, turn on the ultrasonic generator 203, and after cleaning is completed, remove the lenses. At this time, the liquid level in the cleaning tank 202 drops, the float 215 descends, the valve core 210 opens, and the water outlet pipe 208 opens. Since the storage tank 207 is higher than the cleaning tank 202, the cleaning fluid in the storage tank 207 flows into the cleaning tank 202 under the action of gravity. When the liquid level returns to its original height, the float 215 rises and the valve core 210 closes. This helps to overcome the problem that the constant temperature cleaning fluid cannot fully exert its cleaning effect during the optical lens cleaning process, and that frequent replenishment of the cleaning fluid is required due to consumption, which increases the number of operation steps. At the same time, collisions are likely to occur when multiple lenses are washed together, resulting in scratches and damage to the lenses.
