Adjustable height spray system for cleaner

A cleaning apparatus for cleaning electronic substrates including printed circuit boards and semiconductor product assemblies, the cleaning apparatus comprising:

• at least one cleaning module configured to treat electronic substrates;
• and
• a conveyor system configured to transport the electronic substrates through the at least one cleaning module,
• the at least one cleaning module including
• a spray system having a manifold connected to a source of fluid and a plurality of spray bars fluidly coupled to the manifold, and
• an adjustable height spray system configured to move the manifold and the plurality of spray bars up and down with respect to the conveyor system,
• wherein each spray bar includes an inlet port formed in the spray bar at a middle of the spray bar, each spray bar being fluidly connected to a respective port of the manifold by a quick coupler clamp.

A spray system of a cleaning module of a cleaning apparatus to clean electronic substrates including printed circuit boards and semiconductor product assemblies, the spray system comprising:

• a manifold connected to a source of fluid;
• a plurality of spray bars fluidly coupled to the manifold;
• and
• an adjustable height spray system configured to move the manifold and the plurality of spray bars up and down with respect to the conveyor system, the adjustable height spray system including a lift mechanism configured to automatically move the manifold and the plurality of spray bars between a raised position and a lowered position, the lift mechanism including a linear actuator, which is mounted on a wall of the at least one cleaning module by a bracket, and a linkage assembly having two pivot links, each pivot link being pivotally secured to the wall of the cleaning module, and a linkage bar, which connects ends of the pivot links.
