Abstract
Disclosed is an improvement of ultrasonic washing apparatus comprising at least one washing vessel, an ultrasonic vibrator for radiating ultrasonic wave into the washing bath, an oscillator for operating the ultrasonic vibrator and degassing means for removing dissolved air and other gases from the washing liquid, thereby enhancing cavitation in the washing bath when the ultrasonic wave is radiated therein, said degassing means including gas separating means and barrier means for preventing surrounding air from dissolving into the washing liquid while it is degassed. Thanks to deaeration in the washing bath cavitation can be used to its full extent in removing soil from a soiled object in the washing bath.
Claims5
Ultrasonic washing apparatus comprising at least one washing vessel at a single or multi-washing stages, each containing a washing liquid for washing an object to be cleaned when thrown into the washing vessel, an ultrasonic vibrator for radiating ultrasonic waves into the washing liquid and an oscillator for operating the ultrasonic vibrator characterized in that it further comprises degassing means for removing gas from the washing liquid, thereby enhancing cavitation in the washing liquid when the ultrasonic waves are radiated in the washing liquid, said degassing means comprising a boiling vessel which is put upstream of the washing vessel on the washing liquid supplying side, said boiling vessel being effective in removing from the washing liquid a gas whose boiling point is lower than the boiling point of the washing liquid.
