Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical communication device processing technology, and in particular to a glass slide cleaning rack. Background Technology

[0002] Glass slides are crucial components in devices such as BOSA optical connectors, and their cleanliness directly impacts the quality of the BOSA optical connectors. Upon arrival, glass slides often require cleaning to improve their cleanliness. Current cleaning methods involve holding the slide with tweezers, immersing it in alcohol, and gently agitating it for a simple cleaning. After cleaning and drying, the slide is transferred to the housing. This method has limitations in cleaning effectiveness, and the agitation process can easily cause the slide to fall off. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a glass slide cleaning rack to solve the shortcomings of the prior art, addressing the problems of poor cleaning effect and easy slide falling during cleaning, and has strong practicality.

[0004] In order to achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technology is proposed to be adopted: A glass slide cleaning rack is placed inside a cleaning box. The cleaning box has a rectangular structure with an open top and a raised edge at the top. The cleaning box is filled with alcohol or cleaning agent and covered with a cover plate. When the glass slides arrive at the factory, they can be immersed in the alcohol in the cleaning box to prevent the glass slides from getting dusty. Although the factory is a cleanroom, a small amount of micro-dust may exist in the workshop. These micro-dusts have a certain probability of adhering to the glass slides during production.

[0005] The device includes a concave frame located within the cleaning box. A pair of hanging plates are bent at the upper end of the concave frame and placed on a raised edge, providing space for the concave frame. Multiple pairs of rotating shafts are welded at equal intervals along the vertical section of the concave frame. Rotating arms are rotatably mounted on the rotating shafts. At least one middle plate is located between each pair of rotating arms on the same side and at the same height. A movable top plate is located between each pair of rotating arms on the same side and at the same height. Multiple glass slides are placed between the movable top plate and the middle plate. The movable top plate and the middle plate securely restrain the glass slides to prevent them from falling off during immersion.

[0006] Furthermore, a transverse hole parallel to the length direction of the rotating arm is provided at the root of the rotating arm. A stop bar is inserted through the transverse hole, and inner top nuts are threaded to both ends of the stop bar. The inner end of the inner top nut abuts against the outer wall of the rotating arm, and the outer circumference of the stop bar abuts against the narrow side of the vertical section of the concave frame, so that the outer end of the rotating arm tilts downward, thereby facilitating the discharge of dust on the glass slide.

[0007] Furthermore, the two ends of the movable top plate are connected to movable screws by threads, and the rotating arm is provided with at least a pair of guide holes. The length direction of the guide holes is parallel to the length direction of the rotating arm. The movable screws are movably disposed in the guide holes. The outer end of the movable screw is connected to a movable outer plate by threads. A V-shaped spring is fixed on the movable outer plate by a pin. The outer end of the rotating arm is fixed with at least one fixed seat by a pin. The other end of the V-shaped spring abuts against the fixed seat. The provided V-shaped spring facilitates the fixing of the glass slide by the movable top plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the two ends of the V-shaped spring are bent into arc-shaped pieces, and the outer wall of the arc-shaped pieces abuts against the fixing seat. This design can prevent the two ends of the V-shaped spring from deforming inward and also improve the structural strength of the V-shaped spring.

[0009] Furthermore, multiple lower lining protrusions are formed on the inner wall of the moving top plate, and multiple inner protrusions are formed on the inner wall of the middle plate. The glass slides are placed on the lower lining protrusions and inner protrusions to prevent the glass slides from falling off during soaking and cleaning.

[0010] The advantages of the above technical solution are: This invention uses an immersion method to prevent dust from adhering to the glass slide and to provide stable restraint for the slide, preventing it from falling off. Attached Figure Description
