ROTATION EQUIPMENT FOR WASHING THE COMPONENTS RELEASED FROM THE IMPREGNATION PROCESS OF THE SAID COMPONENTS
3. Preamble to the Description:
Field of Invention
The present invention relates to rotation equipment for washing the components released from the impregnation process of the said components.
Background of the Invention & the Related Art
It is noted that, after the impregnating process for the components is over, out of the total sealant used, only 10% to 20% sealant is actually absorbed by the component impregnated. The remaining sealant i.e. approximately 80% to 90% of the sealant remains on the surface of the component being impregnated. Therefore it becomes necessary to wash the said impregnated components properly with the help of the water. Similarly, many a times the sealant used in the impregnation process, blocks the drilled & tapped holes on the components subjected to the impregnation.
Under the current equipment a steady tank filled with water is used to wash the components released from the impregnation process. Within the tank filled with water an air agitation system is built in. When the basket containing the components (through from impregnation process) are set for washing in the washing tank filled with water, the air agitation system starts functioning, which is manually operated. With the operation of the air agitation system," the excess sealant existing on the surface of the components is washed away. Also, the blocked drilled & tapped holes because of the sealant used in the impregnation process also get washed away.

However, the major shortcomings of this equipment are as under:
• The entire operation involved in this is mostly manual. A good amount of the manual interference & supervision is necessary.
• While washing under this, the sealant, which is blocking the drilled & tapped holes, is not taken out appropriately.
• Sometimes, the sealant within the porosity of the component is also oozed out.
Hence, some system is necessary for, taking care of the above shortfalls of the current equipment.
4. Description of the invention:
In the invention under consideration, a tank containing water is at the lower end of the equipment. The water (generally the fresh water) from the tank is lifted up to the washing unit with the help of a pump. Within the washing unit, a facility is provided with help of the help of rotation mechanism to allow the basket filled with the components to rotate in 360°. Also, within the washing unit there is a manifold having several pipes to spray the water on the components kept in the basket. The water from the tank duly lifted by the pump and sprayed (cascaded) on the components kept inside the basket goes on filling in the washing unit till a certain level. A sensor senses the level of water in the washing unit. When a particular level of the water is reached in the washing unit, automatically the inflow of water in the washing unit is stopped and the level of the water is maintained for some specified time. On lapse of the specified time, automatically the valves at the bottom of the washing unit open and allow the water to go back in the tank. Embedded in the lifting pipe system there is a filter to remove the contaminations in the water. This allows the flow of fresh (or nearly fresh) water being continuously used for washing.

The equipment when in the start mode i.e. when the basket filled with the components to be washed is placed appropriately in position on the rotation system of the washing unit, the water from the tank duly lifted by the pump and sprayed on the components kept inside the basket goes on filling in the wash unit. At the same time, the basked starts rotating itself within the washing unit in 360°. With this the components kept in the basket, are duly washed simultaneously by the sprayed water (cascaded) form the several pipes of the manifold as well as by the water getting accumulated in the washing unit. This allows the components in the basket to be washed thoroughly i.e. the sealant on the surface of the components in the basket and the sealant, which blocked the drilled, & tapped holes of the components are cleaned properly.

Description of the invention with figure:
In the invention under consideration, a tank (1) containing water (2) is at the lower end of the equipment. The water (2) (generally the fresh water) from the tank (1) is lifted up to the washing unit (3) with the help of a pump (4). Within the washing unit (3), a facility is provided with help of the help of rotation mechanism (5) to allow the basket (6) filled with the components to be washed (7) to rotate in 360°. Also, within the washing unit (3) there is a manifold (8) having several pipes (9) to spray the water (10) on the components (7) kept in the basket (6). The water (2) from the tank (1) duly lifted by the pump (4) and sprayed (cascaded) (10) on the components (7) kept inside the basket (6) goes on filling in the washing unit (3) till a certain level (11). The level (11) of water (12) in the washing unit (3) is sensed by a sensor (13). When a particular level (11) of the water (12) is reached in the washing unit (3), automatically the inflow/spray of water (10) in the washing unit (3) is stopped and the level (11) of the water (12) in the washing unit (3) is maintained for some specified time. On lapse of the specified time, automatically the valves (14) at the bottom (15) of the washing unit (3) open and allow the water (12) to go back in the tank (1). Embedded in the lifting pipe system (16) there is a filter (17) to remove the contaminations in the water (2). This allows the flow of fresh (or nearly fresh) water being continuously used for washing.
The equipment when in the start mode i.e. when the basket (6) filled with the components (7) to be washed is placed appropriately in position on the rotation mechanism (5) of the washing unit (3), the water (2) from the tank (1) duly lifted by the pump (4) and sprayed (10) on the components (7) kept inside the basket (6) goes on filling in the wash unit (3). At the same time, the basket (6) starts rotating itself within the washing unit in 360°. With this the components (7) kept in the

basket (6), are duly washed simultaneously by the sprayed water (10) form the several pipes (9) of the manifold (8) as well as by the water (12) getting accumulated in the washing unit (3). This allows the components (7) kept in the basket (6) to be washed thoroughly i.e. the sealant on the surface of the components in the basket (6) and the sealant which has blocked the drilled & tapped holes of the components (7) are cleaned properly.
