[0042] In this embodiment, the base 1 stably supports the entire device, the tank body 5 is mounted on the base 1, and the cleaning tank 2 is precisely placed in the tank body 5, ensuring the stability of the cleaning tank 2. The top cover 3 is tightly fixed to the tank body 5 by buckles, which not only ensures the stability of the cleaning tank 2, but also adds PBS buffer into the cleaning tank 2 through the hopper 301, thereby realizing automated sample cleaning.
[0043] The filtering and draining assembly in the cleaning tank 2 can effectively drain the proteomics samples after cleaning. The stirring mechanism arranged on the top cover 3 drives the filter plate 9 to stir by driving the circular plate 6 to rotate, thereby ensuring sufficient contact between the PBS buffer and the sample, improving the cleaning efficiency and uniformity, and reducing protein degradation, thereby ensuring the integrity of the sample.
[0044] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tank body 5 includes an outer tank 51 and an inner tank 52, the outer tank 51 is fixed on the base 1, the inner tank 52 is arranged in the outer tank 51 and is integrally formed with the outer tank 51, and a closed liquid storage chamber 53 is formed between the outer tank 51 and the inner tank 52 for storing coolant, a liquid inlet pipe 54 connected to the liquid storage chamber 53 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer tank 51, and a coolant filling bucket 55 is fixedly installed on the top of the liquid inlet pipe 54, and a valve is provided on the liquid inlet pipe 54.
[0045] In this embodiment, the double-layer structure design of the tank body 5, including the outer tank 51 and the inner tank 52, significantly improves the cooling effect and safety of the device. The outer tank 51 is firmly fixed on the base 1 and is integrally formed with the inner tank 52 to jointly construct a closed liquid storage chamber 53, providing a dedicated storage space for the coolant. The injection and management of the coolant are achieved through the liquid inlet pipe 54 set on one side of the outer tank 51. The coolant filling hopper 55 at the top of the liquid inlet pipe 54 facilitates the addition of coolant, and the valve on the liquid inlet pipe 54 ensures the control and safety of the coolant during use.
[0046] The cooling liquid added into the liquid storage chamber 53 can cool the cleaning tank 2, thereby cooling the PBS, effectively avoiding the degradation of protein during the cleaning process, and improving the integrity of the sample and the accuracy of the experiment.
[0047] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a temperature sensor 56 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer tank 51, and a detection probe of the temperature sensor 56 extends into the liquid storage chamber 53 to monitor the temperature of the coolant.
[0048] In this embodiment, the integrated use of the temperature sensor 56 further improves the intelligence level of the device and the accuracy of the experiment. The temperature sensor 56 is fixed on one side of the outer tank 51, and its detection probe is deep inside the liquid storage chamber 53, which can monitor the temperature change of the coolant in real time, ensuring that the temperature control during the cleaning process reaches an ideal stable state. This design not only avoids protein degradation caused by temperature fluctuations, ensures the purity of the sample and the consistency of the experiment, but also provides the operator with intuitive temperature information through real-time temperature feedback, which is convenient for timely adjustment of the coolant state and optimization of the cleaning conditions, thereby significantly improving the efficiency and quality of proteomics sample pretreatment.
[0049] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2, and a channel opening connected to the drainage hole is opened at the bottom of the tank body 5, and a switch mechanism is installed in the channel opening for opening and closing the drainage hole.
[0050] In this embodiment, the drainage hole designed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2 is closely connected to the channel opening at the bottom of the tank body 5, and the switch mechanism is cleverly integrated to achieve convenient drainage of the cleaning liquid. This innovative design not only simplifies the drainage step after cleaning, but also improves the operating efficiency.
[0051] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the switch mechanism includes: a mounting block 16 arranged in the passage opening, on which a plurality of support rods 17 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the passage opening are fixedly mounted, for supporting and fixing the mounting block 16; a pull rod 18 slidably mounted on the mounting block 16 and arranged vertically, on which a spring 19 is slidably sleeved, and the spring 19 is located at the top of the mounting block 16; a sealing plug 20 fixedly mounted on the top of the pull rod 18, the sealing plug 20 is plugged at the bottom of the drainage hole to block the drainage hole to make it sealed; a fixing ring 21 fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the pull rod 18, on which a pull rope 22 is fixedly connected; a pull ring 23 fixedly connected to the other end of the pull rope 22, for pulling the pull rope 22 to lower the sealing plug 20 and open the drainage hole; a hook 24 fixedly mounted on one side of the base 1, for hanging the pull ring 23 on the hook 24 without pulling the pull ring all the time.
[0052] In this embodiment, the switch mechanism includes a mounting block 16 and a support rod 17 thereon for stable support. A pull rod 18 is slidably mounted on the mounting block 16, and a spring 19 is sleeved thereon to provide a reset force. A sealing plug 20 is fixed to the top of the pull rod 18 for sealing the drainage hole. The bottom of the pull rod 18 is connected to a fixing ring 21, which in turn connects a pull rope 22 and a pull ring 23 for easy operation. A hook 24 is provided on one side of the base 1 for easy fixing of the pull ring 23 for convenient operation. This design can easily control the opening and closing of the drainage hole by pulling the pull ring 23, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of use. At the same time, the structure is compact, easy to install and maintain, and embodies significant beneficial effects. When the pull ring 23 is pulled, the pull rod 18 drives the sealing plug 20 to descend, the spring 19 is compressed, and the drainage hole is opened; when the pull ring 23 is released, the spring 19 returns to its original state, pushes the sealing plug 20 to rise, and the drainage hole is closed, thereby achieving effective control of the drainage hole.
[0053] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a same telescopic sleeve 25 is fixedly installed between the top of the mounting block 16 and the bottom of the sealing plug 20, and the spring 19 is located in the telescopic sleeve 25 to prevent the spring 19 from being corroded by the discharged liquid.

[0056] In this embodiment, the liquid receiving hopper 26 fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank body 5 is cleverly located just below the channel opening, effectively receiving the waste liquid discharged from the drain hole. The drain pipe 27 connected to the bottom of the liquid receiving hopper 26 is responsible for smoothly draining the waste liquid. Through the coordinated use of the liquid receiving hopper 26 and the drain pipe 27, the waste liquid is effectively collected and quickly discharged.
[0057] In another embodiment of the present invention, the filtering and draining assembly includes: an annular block 4 arranged directly above the cleaning tank 2, two symmetrically arranged support columns 401 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the annular block 4, and the two support columns 401 are fixedly installed on the top of the cleaning tank 2; a circular plate 6 arranged in an annular accommodating groove opened on the inner wall of the annular block 4, and the circular plate 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the annular accommodating groove; two electric telescopic rods 7 hinged at the bottom of the circular plate 6; a rotating shaft 8 arranged at the bottom of the circular plate 6, and both ends of the rotating shaft 8 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2; two filter plates 9 rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 8, and the two filter plates 9 are respectively hinged to the output rods of the two electric telescopic rods 7. When the two filter plates 9 are unfolded into a horizontal state, they form a circle and are compatible with the cleaning tank 2. When the two filter plates 9 are unfolded into a horizontal state, they are used to drain proteomics samples.
[0058] In this embodiment, the design of the filter and drain assembly is ingenious. It is cleverly arranged just above the cleaning tank 2, and includes an annular block 4, a support column 401, a circular plate 6, an electric telescopic rod 7, a rotating shaft 8, and a filter plate 9. The annular block 4 is firmly mounted on the top of the cleaning tank 2 through the support column 401, and the circular plate 6 is flexibly rotated in the annular receiving groove on its inner wall. Two electric telescopic rods 7 are hinged at the bottom of the circular plate 6 and are connected to two filter plates 9 rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 8. When the filter plates 9 are pulled and unfolded into a horizontal state by the electric telescopic rod 7, they perfectly form a circle that is compatible with the cleaning tank 2, and can now be used for efficient drainage of proteomics samples. This design not only greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of drainage, but also ensures the integrity and quality of proteomics samples during the drainage process, showing its significant beneficial effects.
[0059] In another embodiment of the present invention, the stirring mechanism drives the circular plate 6 to rotate, thereby driving the filter plate 9 in a vertical state to rotate, and the solution and the proteomics sample in the cleaning tank 2 are stirred through the filter plate 9 to improve the cleaning effect. The stirring mechanism includes: a rotating drum 10 rotatably mounted on the top cover 3; a gear column 11 vertically sliding in the rotating drum 10, both ends of the gear column 11 extend outside the rotating drum 10, and annularly distributed teeth are provided on the outer wall of the gear column 11 and the inner wall of the rotating drum 10, and the gear column 11 and the rotating drum 10 are meshed with teeth; a reduction motor 12 fixedly mounted on the top of the top cover 3, and the output shafts of the rotating drum 10 and the reduction motor 12 are fixedly sleeved with a bevel gear 13, and the two bevel gears 13 are meshed with each other; a first cylindrical block 14 fixedly mounted on the top of the circular plate 6, a tooth groove is opened on the top of the first cylindrical block 14, and the bottom end of the gear column 11 extends into the tooth groove and meshes with the tooth groove.
[0060] In this embodiment, the design of the stirring mechanism ingeniously realizes efficient stirring of the PBS solution and proteomics samples in the cleaning tank 2 to improve the cleaning effect. The stirring mechanism includes key components such as a rotating drum 10, a tooth column 11, a reduction motor 12 and a bevel gear 13. The rotating drum 10 is rotatably mounted on the top cover 3, and the tooth column 11 slides vertically inside it and meshes with the rotating drum 10 through teeth. The reduction motor 12 is fixedly mounted on the top of the top cover 3, and the bevel gear 13 on its output shaft meshes with the bevel gear 13 on the rotating drum 10, thereby driving the rotating drum 10 and the tooth column 11 to rotate. A tooth groove is provided on the first cylindrical block 14 at the top of the circular plate 6, and the bottom end of the tooth column 11 meshes with it. Therefore, when the tooth column 11 rotates, it will drive the circular plate 6 and the filter plate 9 in a vertical state to rotate together, so as to achieve full stirring of the solution and sample in the cleaning tank 2. This design not only improves the cleaning efficiency, but also ensures that the proteomics samples are evenly stressed during the cleaning process, effectively improving the cleaning effect and demonstrating its significant beneficial effects.

[0062] In actual experiments, in order to know more accurately how much tissue sample we have used, we need to weigh the tissue sample. In the prior art, in order to weigh more accurately, after washing the tissue sample and draining off the water appropriately, it is generally necessary to use filter paper to absorb the water on the surface of the sample before weighing it, which is more troublesome.
[0063] In the present embodiment, by adding an air-drying mechanism to the tank body 5 and the top cover 3, the function of drying the proteomics sample after cleaning is realized, and the surface moisture of the sample is effectively removed. The air-drying mechanism includes a second support seat 31, an air blower 32, a hose 33, a vertical pipe 34 and an air jet 35.
