Abstract
A cleaning apparatus includes a heating device, a freezing device, and a conveying belt. The heating device includes a hot water source and a hot water container. The hot water container includes an exit shutter and defines a water inlet and a water outlet. The hot water source being communicated to the hot water container via the water inlet. The freezing device includes an aerosol spray system and a freezing container. The spray system includes a spray head. The freezing container includes an entrance shutter. The spray head is received in the freezing container. The conveying belt extends into the hot water container via the exit shutter and into the freezing container via the entrance shutter and thereby bridges the hot water container and the freezing container.
Claims9
A cleaning apparatus comprising:
- a heating device comprising a hot water source and a hot water container, the hot water container comprising an exit shutter and defining a water inlet and a water outlet, the hot water source being communicated to the hot water container via the water inlet;
- a freezing device comprising an aerosol spray system and a freezing container, the spray system comprising a spray head, the freezing container comprising an entrance shutter, the spray head being received in the freezing container;
- and
- a conveying belt extending into the hot water container via the exit shutter and extending into the freezing container via the entrance shutter, thereby bridging the hot water container and the freezing container;
- wherein the hot water container is cuboid in shape and comprises a bottom plate and a top plate opposite to the bottom plate, the water inlet is defined at the bottom plate, the water outlet is defined at the top plate;
- and wherein the exit shutter is embedded in a sidewall of the hot water container and connecting between the bottom plate and the top plate.
A cleaning apparatus for cleaning glue remained on an optical element, the cleaning apparatus comprising:
- a heating device configured for heating the optical element so that the glue is changed from a solid state to a solid-liquid state and a water layer is formed on the optical element and contacts the glue;
- a freezing device configured for freezing the optical element so that the water layer is frozen into a solid state such that the glue is expelled and partitioned off from the optical element by the frozen water layer;
- and
- a conveying belt for transporting the optical element from the heating device to the freezing device;
- wherein the heating device comprises a hot water source and a hot water container, the hot water container comprising an exit shutter and defines a water inlet and a water outlet, the hot water source being communicated to the hot water container via the water inlet;
- wherein the hot water container is cuboid in shape and comprises a bottom plate and a top plate opposite to the bottom plate, the water inlet is defined at the bottom plate, the water outlet is defined at the top plate;
- and
- wherein the exit shutter is embedded in a sidewall of the hot water container and connecting between the bottom plate and the top plate.
