[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the clamp includes a V-shaped seat fixed on the bottom net, and an elastic clip is arranged at the right top corner of the V-shaped seat and bent toward the middle of the V-shaped seat to form an elastic clip. The V-shaped seat is used to position the flange of the laboratory basket, and the elastic clip and the V-shaped seat jointly clamp the flange of the laboratory basket.

[0009] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a pivot shaft is provided on the rear end portion of the support rod of the uppermost support basket, and a track is provided on the uppermost support arm. A guide groove extending forward and backward and slidably connected to the pivot shaft is opened on the side of the track toward the support basket. When the pivot shaft on the support basket slides to the front end of the guide groove, the support rod is separated from the support arm and the support basket can flip downward around the pivot shaft.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the bottom net of the uppermost support basket is provided with a support rod for supporting the side of the laboratory basket upward.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the inner layer spray structure, the top layer spray structure and the bottom layer spray structure all include a plurality of spray pipes extending left and right and rotatable, the plurality of spray pipes are arranged at intervals along the front and back, and each spray pipe is provided with a plurality of spray heads arranged at intervals along the left and right; all the spray pipes are linked by a driving mechanism.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, both ends of each spray pipe are rotatably connected to the cabinet through bearings, and the driving mechanism includes a driving motor, a driving pulley arranged on the output end of the driving motor, a driven pulley arranged at one end of the spray pipe, several transition pulleys, and a synchronous belt that enables the driving pulley, all transition pulleys and the driven pulley to form a transmission.

The tilted basket can increase the contact area with the hot air during the hot air drying process. The tilted angle helps the moisture on the basket to flow down and be discharged faster under the action of gravity, avoiding the accumulation of moisture inside the basket or in some difficult-to-dry parts, further improving the drying speed and effect; 4. The clips hold the basket flange firmly, which can fix the basket firmly on the basket, preventing it from moving or tipping over during the washing and drying process. This not only ensures the smooth washing and drying process, but also reduces the potential safety hazards caused by the instability of the basket. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present invention provides a laboratory basket washing and drying machine. In order to make the purpose, technical solution and effect of the present invention clearer and more specific, the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 8 The present invention provides a laboratory basket cleaning and drying machine, comprising a cabinet 11, a cabinet door 12, a plurality of tray baskets 2 arranged in a layered manner in the cabinet 11, an inner layer spray structure 31 arranged between two adjacent tray baskets 2, and a hot air drying mechanism 4, a top layer spray structure (not visible in the figure) is provided above the tray basket 2 located at the top, and a bottom layer spray structure 32 is provided below the tray basket 2 located at the bottom, each of the tray baskets 2 is used to load a plurality of laboratory baskets 5 stacked laterally, a clamp 6 is provided on the tray basket 2 for clamping the flange 51 of the laboratory basket 5 so that the laboratory basket 5 can be tilted and stood up, the inner layer spray structure 31, the top layer spray structure and the bottom layer spray structure 32 are supplied with water through a water supply mechanism and are used to spray and clean the laboratory basket 5 on the tray basket 2, and the hot air drying mechanism 4 is used to dry the laboratory basket 5 on the tray basket 2.

[0029] In actual operation, the cabinet door 12 of the laboratory basket washing and drying machine is opened, and multiple laboratory baskets 5 are placed one by one on the support basket 2 and the clamp 6 on the support basket 2 is used to clamp the flange 51 of the laboratory basket 5, so that the laboratory basket 5 can always be tilted and upright during the cleaning process, so that the water flow and hot air can fully contact various parts of the laboratory basket 5 during the cleaning and drying process, thereby improving the cleaning and drying effect. The water supply mechanism supplies water to the inner layer spray structure 31, the top layer spray structure and the bottom layer spray structure 32. The top layer spray structure sprays and cleans the laboratory basket 5 located on the top support basket 2; the bottom layer spray structure 32 sprays and cleans the laboratory basket 5 located on the bottom support basket 2; and the laboratory basket 5 on each layer of the support basket 2 in the middle is sprayed and cleaned by the inner layer spray structure 31 between two adjacent support baskets 2. The all-round spraying ensures that all surfaces of the laboratory basket 5 can be fully cleaned, effectively removing dust, stains, chemical residues and other pollution. After cleaning, the hot air drying mechanism 4 generates hot air to dry the cleaned laboratory basket 5 on the support basket 2. The hot air can quickly evaporate the moisture on the surface of the laboratory basket 5, making it dry quickly so that it can be used again; the laboratory staff can take out the clean basket in the cabinet 11 for use according to the use needs, and the basket to be used will be stored in the cabinet 11 to avoid external contamination.

[0030] The laboratory basket cleaning and drying machine provided by the present invention adopts a layered support basket 2 and multiple spray structures, which can simultaneously perform all-round automatic spray cleaning on multiple laboratory baskets 5, not only greatly improving the cleaning efficiency, but also ensuring that all parts of the laboratory basket 5 can be fully cleaned, effectively removing various pollutions, saving time and labor costs. Compared with the traditional manual cleaning method, the cleaning speed is faster, which can meet the laboratory's demand for frequent use of baskets. In addition, the clamp 6 is specially used to fix the laboratory basket 5 in an independent tilted upright posture, which has the following advantages: 1. In the layered support basket 2, the tilted upright basket can make better use of space. Compared with the flat basket, more baskets can be placed on the same support basket 2 area, which improves the capacity and use efficiency of the cleaning and drying machine and meets the laboratory's demand for cleaning a large number of baskets. 2. After the laboratory basket 5 is tilted and upright, each surface can better contact with the cleaning liquid sprayed by the spray structure. Whether it is top-layer spraying, bottom-layer spraying or inner-layer spraying, different parts of the basket can be flushed at a more appropriate angle to ensure that the cleaning liquid can reach every corner of the basket and effectively remove dust, stains and chemical residues. 3. The tilted upright basket can increase the contact area with the hot air during the hot air drying process. The tilted angle helps the moisture on the basket to flow down and discharge faster under the action of gravity, avoiding moisture accumulation inside the laboratory basket 5 or certain difficult-to-dry parts, further improving the drying speed and effect. 4. The clamp 6 clamps the basket flange 51, which can firmly fix the position of the laboratory basket 5 on the support basket 2 to prevent the laboratory basket 5 from moving or tipping over during the cleaning and drying process. This not only ensures the smooth progress of cleaning and drying, but also reduces the potential safety hazards caused by the instability of the basket.

[0031] For details, see Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the support basket 2 includes a bottom net 21, side nets 22 folded upward and arranged on both sides of the bottom net 21, and two support rods 23 respectively arranged on the top of the side nets 22. The meshes of the bottom net 21 and the side nets 22 are set larger, so that water can flow through to clean the laboratory basket 5 without blocking. The support rod 23 extends forward and backward, and a support arm 71 for supporting the support rod 23 is provided in the cabinet 11. The support arm 71 is provided with a slide groove 710 extending forward and backward and slidably connected to the support rod 23; the front end of the side net 22 is provided with a handle 24. Through such a setting, the support basket 2 can be slid outward relative to the support arm 71 for a distance, making it more convenient for the staff to take and place the laboratory basket 5 (i.e., the clamp 6 loads and unloads the laboratory basket 5). There is no need to laboriously reach out to take the basket in a narrow space, but the support basket 2 can be partially pulled out, with a more spacious operating space, which greatly improves the speed and efficiency of taking and placing the laboratory basket 5.

[0032] In other embodiments, see Figure 5As shown, the side net 22 is also provided with a handle 27, and the staff can hold the handle 27 to carry the entire support basket 2 together with the laboratory basket 5. When a batch of baskets needs to be replaced, the staff can quickly take out the support basket 2 filled with clean laboratory baskets 5 to a suitable place through the handle 27, and then put the used laboratory basket 5 to replace the support basket 2. This quick replacement method saves time, improves work efficiency, and makes the laboratory workflow smoother.

[0033] For details, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the clamp 6 includes a V-shaped seat 61 fixed on the bottom net 21, and an elastic clip 62 is formed by bending the right top corner of the V-shaped seat 61 toward the middle of the V-shaped seat 61, and a grasping gap 52 for a person's fingers to be inserted is formed between the flange 51 of the laboratory basket 5 and its side surface; when placing the laboratory basket 5, one flange 51 of the laboratory basket 5 is flexibly flipped to be inserted between the elastic clip 62 and the V-shaped seat 61, and the elastic clip 62 is located in the grasping gap 52, and then the corner edge of the flange 51 is inserted into the V-shaped groove of the V-shaped seat 61, and then combined with the self-gravity of the laboratory basket 5, the elastic clip 62 and the V-shaped seat 61 jointly clamp the flange 51 of the laboratory basket 5, and then firmly fix the laboratory basket 5 in an inclined upright posture, and the V-shaped seat 61 can accurately position the flange 51 of the laboratory basket 5. Its unique shape enables the flange 51 of the basket to be quickly and stably placed in a specific position, ensuring that the basket is accurately positioned on the support basket 2 to avoid displacement or shaking during the cleaning and drying process. The elastic clip 62 and the V-shaped seat 61 work together to tightly clamp the flange 51 of the laboratory basket 5. This clamping method provides a strong fixing force. Even if it is impacted by water flow during the cleaning process and blown by hot air during the drying process, the basket can always maintain a stable tilted upright state to ensure the cleaning and drying effect.

[0034] When designing a laboratory basket washing and drying machine, in order to be able to wash more laboratory baskets 5 at the same time, the support basket 2 will be set up with more than three layers. Taking the present embodiment as an example, the support basket 2 is set up with 4 layers. The support basket 2 at the top will have a certain height and the laboratory basket 5 on the support basket 2 is located deep inside the cabinet 11. For most staff members, it is inconvenient to take and put the laboratory basket 5 on the top layer due to their limited height and arm extension range. For this reason, the support basket 2 at the top is further improved, see Figure 4As shown, specifically, a swivel support shaft 25 is provided on the rear end portion of the support rod 23 of the uppermost support basket 2, and a track 72 is provided on the uppermost support arm 71. The track 72 is provided with a guide groove 720 extending forward and backward on the side of the support basket 2 and slidably connected to the swivel support shaft 25. When the swivel support shaft 25 on the support basket 2 slides to the front end of the guide groove 720, the support rod 23 is separated from the support arm 71 and the support basket 2 can flip downward around the swivel support shaft 25.

[0035] When it is necessary to take or place the laboratory basket 5 located on the topmost support basket 2 (i.e., the top support basket), first pull the support basket 2 outward, and the swing support shaft 25 on the support basket 2 slides forward along the guide groove 720 to the front end of the guide groove 720. At this time, the support rod 23 is separated from the support arm 71, and the support basket 2 can be turned downward around the swing support shaft 25 under the action of gravity or with manual assistance, that is, the support basket 2 switches from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and the support basket 2 and the laboratory basket 5 are exposed outward. In this way, the laboratory basket 5, which was originally located deep inside the cabinet 11 and difficult to reach, is turned over to a position that is easier to operate. The turned-over support basket 2 makes the basket closer to the staff, and whether placing or taking out the laboratory basket 5, the operation can be completed more accurately and quickly, reducing the difficulty of operation, and the basket can be easily taken and placed without the help of other tools or taking unsafe postures.

[0036] The bottom net 21 of the uppermost support basket 2 is provided with a support rod 26 for supporting the side of the laboratory basket 5 upward. During the turning process of the support basket 2, the support rod 26 can provide an upward support force to the side of the laboratory basket 5, effectively preventing the basket from sliding down due to gravity; and can also provide auxiliary support when the clamp 6 clamps the laboratory basket 5.

[0037] It is understandable that a suitable space is reserved between the door frame and the support arm and the inner spray structure 31 on the cabinet for the top-level basket to flip over, thereby ensuring that the top-level basket can flip over smoothly; and when the topmost basket 2 is to be reset to the inside of the cabinet 11, the staff can grab the bottom net 21 of the basket 2 to apply force to flip the basket 2 upward to a horizontal position, and then push the basket 2 into the cabinet 11.

[0038] In this embodiment, see Figure 2As shown, the inner layer spray structure 31, the top layer spray structure and the bottom layer spray structure 32 all include a plurality of spray pipes 34 extending left and right and rotatable, and the plurality of spray pipes 34 are arranged at intervals along the front and back, and each spray pipe 34 is provided with a plurality of spray heads 35 arranged at intervals along the left and right. This multi-directional spraying method can ensure that the cleaning liquid can cover all surfaces of the basket, including the sides, bottom and corners and other parts that are difficult to clean, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the cleaning. Since the spray pipes 34 are rotatable and all the spray pipes 34 are linked by a driving mechanism, the dynamic spray heads 35 can spray at different angles, so that the cleaning liquid can impact the surface of the basket in different directions, which can increase the impact force and fluidity of the cleaning liquid and improve the cleaning effect. This helps to break the cleaning dead corners that may exist in the traditional fixed spray heads 35, ensure that each part can be fully cleaned, and effectively remove dust, stains and chemical residues.

[0039] For further information, see Figure 7 As shown, both ends of each spray pipe 34 are rotatably connected to the cabinet 11 through bearings, and the driving mechanism includes a driving motor 36, a driving pulley 361 arranged at the output end of the driving motor 36, a driven pulley 362 arranged at one end of the spray pipe 34, a plurality of transition pulleys 363, and a synchronous belt 37 that makes the driving pulley 361, all transition pulleys 363 and the driven pulley 362 form a transmission. The driving motor 36 can achieve stable power transmission, energy saving and high efficiency through the combination of the driving pulley 361, the synchronous belt 37, the transition pulley 363 and the driven pulley 362; the synchronous belt 37 transmission has an accurate transmission ratio, which can ensure that each spray pipe 34 rotates synchronously at the same speed and angle, thereby ensuring the consistency and reliability of the cleaning process.

[0040] See Figure 8 As shown, the other end of the spray pipe 34 is provided with a rotary joint 38, and the water supply mechanism includes a water pump 391, an output main pipe 392 connected to the output end of the water pump 391, and output branch pipes 393 that are branched from the output main pipe 392 and respectively arranged corresponding to the inner layer spray structure 31, the top layer spray structure and the bottom layer spray structure 32, and each output branch pipe 393 is connected to the corresponding rotary joint 38 through a connecting pipe. The water pump 391 delivers water to each spray pipe 34 through the output main pipe 392 and the output branch pipe 393. The setting of the rotary joint 38 enables the spray pipe 34 to continuously and stably receive water from the water supply mechanism during the rotation process, and the connecting pipe will not rotate with the spray pipe 34 and be entangled, so as to provide sufficient cleaning pressure for the spray head 35. No matter how the spray pipe 34 rotates, it will not affect the water supply, ensuring that the spray head 35 can always spray and clean with stable pressure and flow, thereby improving the consistency of the cleaning effect.

[0041] For details, see Figure 8As shown, the hot air drying mechanism 4 includes a fan 41 and a plurality of heaters 42 corresponding to each layer of the basket 2. The fan 41 is connected to the heater 42 through an air duct. After the airflow generated by the fan 41 passes through the heater 42, the hot airflow blows toward the laboratory basket 5 on the basket 2. The fan 41 can generate a strong airflow, and quickly blows the hot airflow heated by the heater 42 toward the laboratory basket 5 on the basket 2. This forced convection method greatly improves the heat transfer efficiency, so that the moisture on the surface of the laboratory basket 5 can evaporate quickly, thereby achieving rapid drying. Compared with natural air drying, the drying time is significantly shortened, the turnover efficiency of the laboratory basket 5 is improved, and the demand for frequent use of the basket in the laboratory is met. For the design of the multi-layer basket 2, each basket 2 corresponds to a heater 42 and a hot air flow supply, ensuring that each layer of the laboratory basket 5 can obtain sufficient and uniform heat, avoiding the situation where some laboratory baskets 5 are not thoroughly dried or over-dried due to uneven heat distribution, and ensuring the consistency and efficiency of the overall drying effect.

[0042] Preferably, ultraviolet lamps 8 are provided on the left and right sides of each basket 2 in the cabinet 11, which can ensure that the laboratory baskets 5 can receive sufficient ultraviolet radiation to achieve comprehensive disinfection and sterilization. Ultraviolet rays have a strong bactericidal ability and can destroy the DNA or RNA structure of microorganisms (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.), thereby preventing their reproduction and growth. For pathogenic microorganisms carried by various biological samples that the laboratory baskets 5 may have contacted, such as bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, etc.) and viruses, the ultraviolet lamp 8 can effectively kill them, reducing the risk of cross infection in the laboratory.

[0043] It should be noted that a wastewater collection tank is provided at the bottom of the cabinet, and wastewater generated during the cleaning process flows into the collection tank by gravity. The collection tank is connected to a wastewater discharge pipe, and a valve is installed on the discharge pipe to control the discharge of wastewater.
