Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize a cleaning operation supported by a strong ultrasonic vibration by a method wherein a sound-collecting tube which has tapered off in a traveling direction of ulrasonic waves is attached at the inside of a cleaning tank where an ultrasonic oscillator has been installed at the bottom, a cleaning liquid is made to flow toward an opening part from its inside, an object to be cleaned is immersed and an ultrasonic energy is irradiated. CONSTITUTION:A sound-collecting tube 3 which is provided with a rectangular opening part 2 and whose base part has been expanded fully inside a cleaning tank 1 is attached inside the cleaning tank 1 whose cross section is rectangular; an ultrasonic oscillator 4 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. A cleaning liquid 7 inside a reservoir tank 8 is fed, via a filter 6, into the sound-collecting tube 3 from the lower part of the cleaning tank 1 by using a circulating pump 5. The cleaning liquid 7 rises on the opening part 2 of the sound- collecting tube 3, overflows, flows down along an external wall of the sound-collecting tube 2 from its circumference, returns to the reservoir tank 8 via a drainage pipe 9 and circulates. Ultrasonic waves generated inside the cleaning tank 1 by means of the ultrasonic oscillator 4 are collected by the sound-collecting tube 3 and are guided to the opening part 2. Consequently, an object 10 to be cleaned is passed while it is immersed in the cleaning liquid which has risen on the opening part; it can be cleaned efficiently by the ultrasonic waves.

Generally performed ultrasonic cleaning conventionally involves attaching an ultrasonic oscillator to a cleaning tank filled with a cleaning solution, sending ultrasonic waves into the cleaning tank, and cleaning the object by immersing it in the tank. Met. Therefore, when automating the cleaning process, transporting the object to be cleaned requires two different operations: horizontal movement and vertical dipping. That is, the cleaning process had to be performed intermittently (so-called batch processing).

With conventional technology, in order to perform ultrasonic cleaning while continuously moving the object to be cleaned using a conveyor, a conveyor with an ascending and descending path is required, resulting in a mechanically complex configuration. There was a drawback that it could be stored away. In addition, automatic cleaning equipment generally has multiple cleaning tanks arranged side by side and repeats the process of cleaning, rinsing, cleaning, and rinsing. As this becomes necessary, increasingly complex mechanisms will be required.
