Abstract

A high-pressured rinsing system comprises a base including a liquid reservoir, a rotation motor housing including a rotation motor adapted to rotate a spray wand attached, and extending vertically upward from, the rotation motor housing and base, a linear rail support frame attached the base and including a vertical motor and associated linear rail attached thereto, a cavity mounting plate attached to the linear rail, wherein vertical movement of the linear rail causes vertical movement of the cavity mounting plate over the base; and at least one door and a plurality of side panels mounting to an enclosure support frame, wherein the enclosure support frame is mounted and secured to the linear rail support frame and base to create an enclosure around the spray wand and linear rail.

Claims (26)

1. A rinsing system comprising:

a linear rail;

a cavity-holding frame engaged with the linear rail, the cavity-holding frame being configured to engage with a cavity;

a spray wand fluidically connected to a fluid source;

a rotation motor configured to rotate the spray wand;

a vertical motor operably engaged to the linear rail wherein the vertical motor can raise and lower the linear rail; and

an enclosure configured to prevent the fluid delivered from the spray wand from exiting the rinsing system.

2. The rinsing system of claim 1 further comprising:

a linear rail support frame associated with the linear rail.

3. The rinsing system of claim 1 further comprising:

a cavity mounting plate for mounting the cavity to the cavity-holding frame.

4. The rinsing system of claim 3 wherein the cavity mounting plate further comprises:

at least one cavity frame clamp for joining the cavity to the cavity-holding frame.

5. The rinsing system of claim 3 wherein the cavity mounting plate further comprises:

a spring plunger configured to lock and release rotation of the mounting plate.

6. The rinsing system of claim 3 further comprising:

a carriage adapter mount configured to connect the cavity mounting plate to the linear rail.

7. The rinsing system of claim 1 further comprising:

a pump motor configured to deliver fluid to the spray wand.

8. The rinsing system of claim 1 further comprising:

at least one door;

a plurality of side panels; and

a base wherein the base houses:

a fluid catch basin;

a rotation motor housing, that houses the rotation motor; and

a spray wand adaptor plate that interfaces the spray wand with a rotation gear box.
