It will also be appreciated that in one embodiment, an air knife cleaning device (not shown) is provided in the cleaning chamber of the cleaning tank 11 for spraying a cleaning medium to the object to be cleaned in the cleaning chamber to clean the object. The specific structure of the air knife cleaning device is not limited to this, and the cleaning device may be configured to clean the object to be cleaned moving from the inlet 113 to the outlet 114 in the cleaning chamber.

In the embodiment of the invention, the moving assembly 21 includes a base 211, a carrier plate 212, a first driving member 213 and a first connecting member 214. The carrier plate 212 is movably connected to the base 211 along a first direction, and the first driving member 213 is disposed on the base 211 and is in driving connection with the carrier plate 212 to drive the carrier plate 212 to move along the first direction relative to the base 211. One end of the first connecting member 214 is connected to the carrier plate 212, and the opposite end of the first connecting member 214 is connected to the first air blowing block 22. Therefore, when the first driving member 213 drives the carrier plate 212 to move along the first direction, the carrier plate 212 drives the first air-blowing block 22 to move along the first direction through the first connecting member 214, so that the first air-blowing block 22 penetrates into the cleaning cavity of the cleaning tank 11 from the outlet 114, and the first air-blowing block 22 can move along the first direction synchronously with the object to be cleaned, and meanwhile, the first air-blowing block 22 can perform air-blowing protection on the part of the object to be cleaned, which needs protection. Alternatively, the first driving member 213 may be a cylinder.

In one embodiment, one end of the first connecting member 214 is movably connected to the carrier plate 212 along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The moving assembly 21 further includes a second driving member 215, where the second driving member 215 is disposed on the carrier plate 212 and is in transmission connection with the first connecting member 214, so as to drive the first connecting member 214 to move along the second direction, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the position of the first air blowing block 22 in the second direction. In this way, when the cleaning chamber of the cleaning tank 11 needs to be protected by blowing air, first, the first driving member 213 drives the carrier plate 212 to move along the first direction, so that the carrier plate 212 drives the first air-blowing block 22 to penetrate into the cleaning chamber of the cleaning tank 11 from the outlet 114 through the first connecting member 214 until the first air-blowing block 22 reaches the cleaning chamber. Then, the second driving member 215 drives the first connecting member 214 to move along the second direction, so as to drive the first air blowing block 22 to approach the part of the object to be cleaned to be protected. Alternatively, the second driving member 215 may be a cylinder.

Further, in one embodiment, the first air-blowing block 22 has an abutting portion for abutting against the object to be cleaned, so that the first air-blowing block 22 and the object to be cleaned can move synchronously along the first direction. Thus, after the first air-blowing block 22 moves to the object to be cleaned along the first direction under the driving of the first driving member 213, the first air-blowing block 22 moves towards the object to be cleaned along the second direction under the driving of the second driving member 215, so that the abutting portion of the first air-blowing block 22 abuts against the object to be cleaned, and the first air-blowing block 22 can move synchronously along the first direction along with the object to be cleaned. Alternatively, the abutment may be a protrusion.

In another embodiment, the first air block 22 has a recess 225, and the recess 225 is configured to receive a portion of the object to be cleaned, so that the first air block 22 can move synchronously with the object to be cleaned along the first direction. Thus, after the first air-blowing block 22 moves to the object to be cleaned along the first direction under the driving of the first driving member 213, the first air-blowing block 22 moves towards the object to be cleaned along the second direction under the driving of the second driving member 215, so that the groove 225 of the first air-blowing block 22 accommodates a portion of the object to be cleaned, and the first air-blowing block 22 can move synchronously along the first direction with the object to be cleaned. Optionally, a groove 225 is formed in the first blowing region 221.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the first direction is a left-right direction, and the second direction is an up-down direction.

Referring to fig. 3, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first air-blowing block 22 includes a first air-blowing area 221 and a second air-blowing area 223 that are used together as one side surface of the first air-blowing area 221, where the first air-blowing area 221 is used for air-blowing protection of a part to be protected of the object to be cleaned, so as to prevent the cleaning medium from entering the part to be protected of the object to be cleaned. The second air blowing area 223 is used for preventing the cleaning medium from condensing (for example, steam condenses into water drops), so that the cleaning medium condensed in the second air blowing area 223 is prevented from dripping to the part of the object to be cleaned, which needs to be protected, and the local protection of the object to be cleaned is prevented from failing. Further, the first blowing area 221 is located at an end of the first blowing block 22 remote from the moving assembly 21.

It should be noted that, since the second air blowing area 223 is only for preventing the coagulation of the cleaning medium, the air blowing speed of the second air blowing area 223 may be smaller than that of the first air blowing area 221, so that the air source is saved as much as possible on the basis of being able to meet the purpose of preventing the coagulation of the cleaning medium.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning apparatus further includes a second protection device 30, where the second protection device 30 includes a mounting assembly 31 and a second air blowing block 32 connected to the mounting assembly 31, the mounting assembly 31 is disposed corresponding to an end of the cleaning tank 11 having an inlet 113, and the second air blowing block 32 extends into the cleaning chamber of the cleaning tank 11 at least partially through the inlet 113, so that the second air blowing block 32 performs air blowing protection on a part to be protected of the object to be cleaned entering the cleaning chamber through the inlet 113. In this way, the second air blowing block 32 can be utilized to perform air blowing protection on the part of the object to be cleaned entering the cleaning cavity of the cleaning box 11 from the inlet 113, so that the next object to be cleaned can enter the cleaning cavity of the cleaning box 11 from the inlet 113 under the air blowing protection of the second air blowing block 32 when the previous object to be cleaned is not completely cleaned, and the cleaning medium for cleaning the previous object to be cleaned is prevented from contacting the part of the next object to be cleaned, which needs to be protected. Therefore, the next object to be cleaned can enter the cleaning cavity of the cleaning box 11 from the inlet 113 after the previous object to be cleaned is cleaned and is output from the outlet 114, so that the cleaning rhythm can be quickened, and the production efficiency can be improved.

In particular embodiments, the mounting assembly 31 includes a mounting post 310, a third driver (not shown), and a second connector 313. The third driving member is disposed on the mounting post 310 and is in driving connection with the second connecting member 313 to drive the second connecting member 313 to move along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The second air blowing block 32 is connected to the second connecting member 313, so that the second air blowing block 32 and the second connecting member 313 synchronously move along the second direction under the driving of the third driving member, so that the second air blowing block 32 moves to a position corresponding to a part to be protected of the object to be cleaned, and the part to be protected of the object to be cleaned is conveniently protected by air blowing in the process that the object to be cleaned enters the cleaning cavity from the inlet 113, so that the part to be protected is prevented from being contacted with a cleaning medium for cleaning the previous object to be cleaned. Alternatively, the third driving member may be a cylinder.

The second connecting member 313 is movably connected to the adjusting block 314 along the second direction, and the third driving member is mounted on the adjusting block 314 and is in driving connection with the second connecting member 313 to drive the second connecting member 313 to move along the second direction. The second blowing block 32 is mounted on the second connection member 313. So, accessible rotation adjusting screw 312 makes regulating block 314 follow the second direction and removes to drive third driving piece, second connecting piece 313 and second and blow air piece 32 together along the second direction, and then reach the purpose of adjusting the second and blow air piece 32 in the ascending position of second direction, with the waiting washings of adaptation different specifications, promote cleaning equipment's compatibility. Alternatively, the adjustment block 314 may be coupled to the mounting post 310 by a sliding structure of a sliding rail and a slider such that the adjustment block 314 may be movable in a second direction with respect to the mounting post 310. The second connecting member 313 may also be connected to the adjusting block 314 through a sliding structure of the sliding rail and the sliding block, so that the second connecting member 313 may move along the second direction relative to the adjusting block 314.
