Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable efficient cleaning free from adverse influence to human bodies and damage, oxidation or the like of a part by a method wherein a part for an electronic tube is cleaned by cleaning solution containing 95% or more of limonene and dried under reduced pressure. CONSTITUTION:An object 6 to be cleaned (part for an electronic tube) is put in a dedicated transfer tray of a degreasing device and soaked in limonene solution containing 95% or more of limonene of a first reservoir 1a by an automatic transfer mechanism. After being soaked for specified time, the object 6 is transported to a second reservoir 1b by the automatic transfer mechanism, cleaned and rinsed in more cleaned solutions sequentially. Then the object 6 which has been finally cleaned in a third reservoir 1c is transported to an adjacent draining chamber 1d so that limonene is dropped and removed while it is kept stable for specified time. The object is transported to a pressure- reduced chamber 2 and after the lid 2a is closed, a cut valve 2b is opened to evacuate inside the chamber by a pressure reducing pump 3 so that the object is dried under reduced pressure. Thus a part for an electronic tube can be efficiently degreased and cleaned by using limonene free from adverse influence to natural environments.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for cleaning parts for electron tubes, and in particular to an improved cleaning method using limonene (a type of terpene compound) that has less adverse effects on the human body and the environment. This invention relates to a method for cleaning pipe parts.

Conventionally, in such a cleaning process, solvents made of organic halogen compounds, such as 1,1.1 trichloroethane and Freon 113, have been widely used. However, in recent years, the negative effects on the human body due to groundwater contamination and ozone layer destruction caused by organic halogen compound solvents have become a major problem.

In view of this situation, there are calls for restrictions on the use of organic halogen compound solvents on a global scale, and progress is being made in developing and switching to alternative agents. Limonene is a substance selected based on these requirements and has the properties shown in Table 1.

In this method, a multi-tank cleaning device equipped with a plurality of cleaning tanks is widely used in many cases. For example, in the case of a two-tank system, the items to be washed are first heated to about 50°C in a hot tub (first
tank), and dissolve the oils and fats on the surface in triethane for cleaning.

Finally, it is kept in triethane vapor in a steam bath (third tank) in which triethane is boiled. The triethane vapor condenses on the surface of the object cooled in the cold bath (second tank) to become a clean liquid triethane, thereby further cleaning the object.

Thereafter, the temperature of the material to be treated increases and when it reaches the same level as the vapor temperature of triethane, the surface becomes dry and the cleaning is completed.

On the other hand, when cleaning with limonene in the same process as with triethane, there are the following drawbacks.

(危険物第4類第二石油) (2)沸点が高く蒸発し難いので乾燥に時間がかかる。(Dangerous Goods Class 4 Class 2 Petroleum) (2) It takes a long time to dry because it has a high boiling point and is difficult to evaporate.

In addition, we offer electron tube parts such as magnetron anode parts with many narrow parts, klystron resonant cavity parts,
There are many structures where limonene liquid tends to accumulate, such as the helical poles of traveling wave tubes. Moreover, these parts are the most important parts of the electron tube and reach high temperatures during operation, so the cleanliness of the parts' surfaces directly affects the degree of vacuum inside the tube and, ultimately, its performance and life. For the above reasons, it is necessary to completely remove the degreasing solvent. For this reason, attempting to dry limonene by steam cleaning or by blowing high-temperature air or inert gas is undesirable because it may cause damage or oxidation to easily deformed parts such as minute parts and grids.

Another known method is to replace limonene with acetone by immersing it in a solvent that evaporates easily, such as acetone, and then drying it.However, these solvents have an even lower flash point than limonene, and pose a risk of causing a fire accident. There are various restrictions on the use of large quantities.

Next, after soaking for a predetermined period of time, the cleaning object 6 is transported by an automatic conveyance mechanism.
is transferred to the second tank 1b. The cleaning liquid (limonene) in the second tank 1b is cleaner than the first tank 1a and flows from the third tank IC. This system is widely used as the inlet method for cleaning liquid in many multi-tank cleaning apparatuses, in which clean new cleaning liquid is introduced into the last tank, and the overflow causes it to flow down into the previous tanks. Therefore, the object to be washed is sequentially washed with a liquid having a high degree of cleanliness and then rinsed.

Next, the cleaning object 6 that has completed the final cleaning of the third tank IC is moved to the adjacent liquid draining chamber 1d, and is left standing for a predetermined period of time to drip and remove limonene.

Next, the object to be washed 6 is transferred to the vacuum chamber 2, the lid 2a is closed, and the cut valve 2b is opened to exhaust the interior of the room using the vacuum pump 3. It is efficient to reduce the pressure to below the saturated vapor pressure of limonene at that temperature, and the saturated vapor pressure of limonene is as shown in Table 2. After checking the surface, the pressure is maintained for 3 minutes, the pressure is returned to atmospheric pressure, and the object 6 to be washed is taken out.
