The slide member 44 is provided at the bottom of the slide mechanism, and the slide member 44 is guided by the guide plate 14 (or the guide plate 15) during the rotation of the rotating chain 302 to cross over the adjacent two wash tanks. Wherein, a plurality of washing tanks that are the linear type and arrange and keep apart each other set up to detachable construction. The rear of the guide post 40 is provided with a link 46 connected to the revolving chain 302.

The applicant describes in detail the example of the work basket 50 carrying the work 51 across the cleaning bath 11 and the cleaning bath 12, and the work basket 50 is carried across the cleaning bath 12 and the cleaning bath 13 in the same manner.

In the present embodiment, the ultrasonic cleaning apparatus includes a cleaning tank 11, a cleaning tank 12, and a cleaning tank 13 arranged in a linear manner, and a plurality of cleaning tanks are integrally wrapped by a housing 10. The cleaning tank 11 and the cleaning tank 12 are separated from each other by a partition 14, and the cleaning tank 12 and the cleaning tank 13 are separated from each other by a partition 15. The cleaning tank 11, the cleaning tank 12, and the cleaning tank 13 perform an ultrasonic cleaning process, an ultrasonic rinsing process, and a bubbling rinsing process, respectively.

The casing 10 has a rectangular cubic shape, and an inner wall 105 and an outer wall 115 are provided inside in the longitudinal direction of the casing 10, and a side wall groove 125 connecting the inner wall 105 and the outer wall 115.

The revolving chain 302 drives the guide post 40 to horizontally pivot behind the inner slot wall 105, and the sliding member 44 moves along the top of the guide plate to drive the sliding mechanism to lift and lower the workpiece basket 50. A rotary power mechanism (such as a motor) is arranged behind the three cleaning tanks.

In the present embodiment, the slide mechanism includes: a sliding seat 42 slidably coupled to the linear guide 41 of the guide post 40 and having a first power mechanism built therein, a top plate 442 inserted into the sliding seat 42 and extending downward, and a boom 45 coupled to the work basket 50. Wherein the slide 44 is transversely mounted on the bottom of the top plate 442, and the work basket 50 is linearly and horizontally movable within the cleaning tank (in the direction indicated by the arrow B in fig. 7). The top plate 442 is disposed to extend transversely through the shaft 441 of the slider 44. Meanwhile, the first power mechanism drives the sliding seat 42 to perform a lifting motion along the linear guide 41. In particular, when the workpiece basket 50 spans two adjacent washing grooves, the first power mechanism does not participate in the spanning of the two adjacent washing grooves, but merely rolls the workpiece basket 50 on the first guiding edge 601, the second guiding edge 602, and the third guiding edge 603 of the guide plate 60 in sequence by the sliding member 44, and thus lifts the workpiece basket 50 above the partition 14 and enters the washing groove 12, so as to finally implement the spanning operation of the two adjacent washing grooves. Specifically, the first power mechanism may be a servo motor.

Referring to fig. 3, 5 and 6, the three cleaning tanks are rectangular in top view, the side walls of the cleaning tanks along the length direction thereof are formed to wrap the inner tank wall 105 and the outer tank wall 115 (and the bending portion 116), and the top of the bending portion 116 is formed to form a linear rolling surface 1161 for the sliding member 44 to roll along the linear direction. The boom 45 is composed of a mounting seat 451, a boom body 452 integrally connected to the mounting seat 451 and extending vertically downward, and a boom 453 provided at the end of the boom body 452 and connected to the work basket 50. The cleaning tank 12 is enclosed by only the inner tank wall 105, the outer tank wall 115, the partition 14, and the partition 15. Of course, the bottom of each cleaning tank is provided with a bottom wall for containing liquid.

The linear rolling surface 1161 is arranged continuously with the top of the guide plate 60, and there is a state in which the slide 44 lifts the work basket 50 above the liquid level formed inside the cleaning bath 11 (cleaning bath 12 or cleaning bath 13) when rolling on the top of the guide plate 60. Referring to fig. 5, the work basket 50 is in a state 50a when it is completely immersed in the cleaning bath 11; the state 50b is when the work basket 50 is lifted higher than the wash tank 11 and the crossing of the partition 14 is performed. The length of the boom body 452 in the vertical direction is greater than or equal to the height of the guide plate 60 (and the guide plate 15). The linear rolling surface 1161 and the top of the guide plate 60 are continuously disposed and connected to the cleaning tank 11, the cleaning tank 12 and the cleaning tank 13.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, in the present embodiment, the top of the guide plate 60 forms a first guide edge 601, a second guide edge 602 and a third guide edge 603 in sequence for guiding the slider 44, the slope of the first guide edge 601 with respect to the horizontal plane is smaller than the slope of the third guide edge 603 with respect to the horizontal plane, and the second guide edge 602 intersects with the inward extension line of the partition disposed between two adjacent wash tanks in the vertical direction. The slide 44 lifts the work basket 50 above the liquid level C formed inside the wash bowl 11 while the second leading edge 602 of the guide plate rolls. Referring to fig. 9, second guide edge 602 intersects extension line 150 in the vertical direction, which separates inward partition 14 disposed between two adjacent washing tanks (i.e., washing tank 11 and washing tank 12). The guiding plate 60 is sheet-shaped in a top view, and connects two adjacent cleaning tanks (i.e. the cleaning tank 11 and the cleaning tank 12), and further, the second guiding edge 602 connects the cleaning tank 11 and the cleaning tank 12. Preferably, the slider 44 lifts the work basket 50 above the liquid level C formed inside the wash bowl 11 while the second leading edge 602 of the guide plate 60 rolls. The first, second and third guiding edges 601, 602, 603 are arranged in series and linear with the linear rolling surface 1161 in a top view.

Meanwhile, in the embodiment, one or more ultrasonic generators 70 are provided at least at the bottom and/or side of one cleaning tank. Specifically, ultrasonic generators 70 are disposed at the bottoms of the cleaning

tanks

11 and 12. The ultrasonic generator 70 converts the sound energy of the power ultrasonic frequency source into mechanical vibration, and radiates ultrasonic waves to the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank through the cleaning tank wall. Due to the radiation of the ultrasonic wave, the micro-bubbles in the liquid in the cleaning tank can keep vibrating under the action of the sound wave. The adsorption of the broken dirt to the surface of the workpiece 51 causes fatigue breakage of the dirt layer and is peeled off, and the vibration of the gas bubbles cleans the surface of the workpiece 51. In the present embodiment, the cleaning tank 11 corresponds to a "front cleaning tank" for the cleaning tank 12, the cleaning tank 12 corresponds to a "rear cleaning tank" for the cleaning tank 11, and so on.

Referring to fig. 8, the first guiding edge 601 forms an included angle α of 45 to 50 degrees with the linear rolling surface 1161, and the third guiding edge 603 forms an included angle β of 80 to 85 degrees with the linear rolling surface 1161. In this embodiment, the first guiding edge 601 is gentle, so that the workpiece basket 50 can be slowly lifted, and the liquid adhered to the surface of the workpiece basket 50 and the workpiece 51 and containing the fine washing liquid medicine can be dropped into the cleaning tank 11 to the greatest extent, so that the liquid of the fine washing liquid medicine is maximally prevented from being carried into the cleaning tank 12 by the workpiece basket 50 and the workpiece 51, and therefore the amount of the fine washing liquid medicine is saved, the concentration of the fine washing liquid medicine in the cleaning tank 12 is reduced, and the effect of the ultrasonic rinsing treatment performed in the cleaning tank 12 is indirectly improved. Meanwhile, since the third guide edge 603 is provided in a steeper structure, the workpiece basket 50 that has crossed the partition 14 can be quickly dropped into the cleaning tank 12 (i.e., the subsequent cleaning tank), thereby improving the processing efficiency of the entire ultrasonic cleaning apparatus. The workpiece basket 50 rotates in the direction of rotation of the workpiece basket 50 as indicated by the arrow in fig. 8 while spanning the adjacent wash bowl 11 and wash bowl 12, and the workpiece basket 50 performs a translational movement in the direction indicated by the left arrow in fig. 9 in a top view.

Specifically, the applicant describes in detail a part of the process in which the work basket 50 spans the adjacent cleaning bath 11 and cleaning bath 12. The principle of the process of the workpiece basket 50 crossing the

adjacent cleaning tanks

12 and 13 is the same, and the description thereof is omitted.

The time for completely immersing the workpiece 51 in each workpiece basket 50 in the cleaning tank 11 to perform the ultrasonic cleaning is kept at about 30 seconds, the time for completely immersing the workpiece 51 in each workpiece basket 50 in the cleaning tank 12 to perform the ultrasonic rinsing process is kept at about 20 seconds, and the time for completely immersing the workpiece 51 in each workpiece basket 50 in the cleaning tank 13 to perform the bubbling rinsing process is kept at about 20 seconds.

In particular, referring to fig. 7 and 8, in the present embodiment, in the process of carrying each workpiece basket 50 to perform switching of the cleaning bath, the slider 44 first contacts the first guide edge 601, and the workpiece 51 in the workpiece basket 50 moves upward in a vertical posture. In this process, the revolving chain 302 is still performing a horizontal revolving motion at a set rotational speed, whereby the work basket 50 partially or completely submerged in the cleaning bath 11 is gradually lifted upward and finally out of the liquid level C (see fig. 3) in the cleaning bath 11 by the boom 45 connected to the guide post 40. Then, gradually in the direction of the arrow shown rightward in fig. 7 and as the revolving chain 302 performs a horizontal revolving motion at a set rotational speed, the entire guide post 40 and the workpiece basket 50 cross the partition 14 (or the partition 15) during the translation. Finally, the ultrasonic wave is moved downward in an inclined posture along an arrow inclined to the lower right in fig. 8, and quickly falls into the cleaning tank 12 where the next cleaning process is performed, and the ultrasonic wave rinsing process is performed in the cleaning tank 12.

The sliding member 44 may be selected from a bearing, a nylon wheel, and the like, which are known in the art to be capable of rolling with the linear rolling surface 1161. The guide post 40 is provided with a vertically arranged linear guide 41 in a radially outward direction, and the slide holder 42 integrally wraps the linear guide 41. The balls 402 are provided between the inner side of the sliding block 42 and the linear guide 41 so that the sliding block 42 can linearly ascend and descend in the vertical direction with respect to the guide post 40. The linear rolling surface 1161 has a width greater than or equal to the width of the slider 44. More preferably, the linear rolling surface 1161 may also be provided with a circular protrusion (not shown) on the inner and outer sides for better guiding the slider 44.

In the embodiment, there is a state where the workpiece basket 50 is lifted above the liquid level formed inside the cleaning bath 11 while the slider 44 rolls on the linear rolling surface 1161. For example, the work basket 50 may have been raised above the liquid level C of the wash tank 12 when the slide 44 has moved to the top of the first guide edge 601 and has not yet contacted the second guide edge 602.

In this embodiment, the frame, the section, the housing 10 and the tank walls 300 forming each cleaning tank of the ultrasonic cleaning apparatus may be made of SUS304 stainless steel or stainless steel with a higher grade. Cleaning tank 11, cleaning tank 12 and cleaning tank 13 are all made of SUS304 stainless steel. Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 1, a transparent cover 101 is provided at an upper portion of the housing 10 so as to facilitate an operator to observe the processing of the workpiece basket 50 loaded with the workpieces 51 in each cleaning bath. The transparent cover 101 may be plexiglas or tempered glass. An openable cabinet door 102 is arranged at the bottom of the shell 10 and used for installing and overhauling a driver, a PLC (programmable logic controller) control device and other components connected with the first power mechanism.

Since the liquid in the cleaning tank is usually subjected to a heat treatment to enhance the cleaning effect on the workpiece 51. Water vapor is generated inside the housing 10. Since water vapor may be misted when the water vapor meets the transparent cover 102 and the top of the casing 10, in the embodiment, the water vapor generated by each cleaning tank may be exhausted from the casing 10 through the air exhaust opening 18 and the air exhaust opening 19. The

suction ports

18 and 19 may be connected to a dehumidifying fan (not shown) through a flexible pipe or a rigid pipe to perform a suction operation. Heating the liquid in the cleaning tanks can be achieved by providing electrical heating elements in each tank.

Referring to fig. 3, 10 and 11, in the present embodiment, the side portion of the housing 10 forms an inlet port 1 and an outlet port 2 for introducing a workpiece to be cleaned into the workpiece basket 50. The outflow port 2 and the input port 911 of the drying apparatus 90 are close to each other. The operator can put the workpiece 51 subjected to the ultrasonic cleaning process by the ultrasonic cleaning apparatus into the drying apparatus 90 from the outflow port 2 of the drying apparatus 90 to perform the drying process, and finally can lead out the dried workpiece 51 from the outflow port 921 of the drying apparatus 90.

An operator manually or by a robot (for example, an industrial robot) puts a workpiece 51 into a workpiece basket 50 which is horizontally rotated from an input port 1, and the ultrasonic cleaning process, the ultrasonic rinsing process, and the bubbling rinsing process are respectively performed on the workpiece 51 by a cleaning tank 11, a cleaning tank 12, and a cleaning tank 13 in this order. The time for completely immersing the workpiece 51 in each workpiece basket 50 in the cleaning tank 11 to perform the ultrasonic cleaning is kept at about 30 seconds, the time for completely immersing the workpiece 51 in each workpiece basket 50 in the cleaning tank 12 to perform the ultrasonic rinsing process is kept at about 20 seconds, and the time for completely immersing the workpiece 51 in each workpiece basket 50 in the cleaning tank 13 to perform the bubbling rinsing process is kept at about 20 seconds. The workpiece after the three cleaning processes can be dried by using the drying apparatus shown in fig. 9 and 10. The applicant points out that the ultrasonic cleaning equipment can also movably splice the spraying equipment and the air spraying equipment in a linear mode after the cleaning tank 13. Since both the spraying equipment and the air spraying equipment belong to the mature prior art, they are not described herein again.
