Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of biological experiment equipment, in particular to a slide spraying cleaning device. Background Technique
[0002] Slides and cover glasses are long transparent glass sheets with good light transmittance. A slide is a glass sheet used to place things when observing with a microscope. When making a sample, cells or tissue sections are placed on the slide, and then the cover glass is placed on it; the cover glass covers the cells or tissue sections to avoid contact between the liquid and the objective lens, so as to prevent contamination of the objective lens.
[0003] After the slides and cover glasses are used, they need to be cleaned, dried and disinfected for reuse. Usually, manual cleaning is adopted, the surface is scrubbed with a cleaning brush, rinsed with clean water, dried with a cotton cloth, and then soaked in alcohol for disinfection. However, the traditional method consumes a lot of energy of experimental personnel. If the number of slides and cover glasses is large, it almost takes most of the time of an experimental assistant to process, which is time-consuming and laborious. If the operation is not careful, there is also a risk of cutting the skin. Although several devices for cleaning slides and cover glasses are recorded in the existing literature, there are still disadvantages such as poor cleaning effect, low automation degree, and low cleaning efficiency. For example: Chinese Patent 1: An ultrasonic cleaning device for slides and cover glasses; CN202321855049.6; Chinese Patent 2: A slide cleaning device for the pathology department; CN202010451346.9, etc. However, there are still disadvantages such as the insufficient number of slides loaded at one time by the device and the large floor area occupied by the device. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a slide spraying cleaning device, which is applied to batch cleaning of slides and cover glasses in a laboratory, and has the advantages of high cleaning efficiency, good cleaning effect, large number of slides loaded at one time, and small floor area occupied by the device.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows:
[0006] A slide spraying cleaning device, multi-layer support beams are respectively arranged on the inner sides of both sides of the inner cavity of the machine body, the support beams support the edges of the bearing brackets, and the bearing brackets are composed of dense vertical rods arranged on a vertical and horizontal grid; the upper end of the machine body is hinged with an upwardly flipped machine cover, and several rotary sprayers are arranged on the back plate of the inner cavity of the machine body.
[0007] The rotary sprayer, also known as the spray arm, wash arm, or spray washing arm, is commonly used in various cleaning equipment to spray liquids. A self-rotating spray arm can be adopted, with inclined spray nozzles set on the spray arm. While spraying water, it drives the spray arm to rotate, forming a spray of water with continuously changing directions in the cleaning inner cavity, thus playing a role in cleaning. The machine cover can be made of transparent plexiglass, enabling a clear view of the inner cavity during cleaning. The cover glass or slide is inserted vertically between the vertical rods of the support bracket (it can be inserted horizontally or vertically), withstanding the flushing of the spray of water from all directions.
[0008] A number of vertical nozzles are set in the inner cavity of the machine body, and the vertical nozzles are connected through pipes. The vertical nozzles flush the slides in the spray inner cavity from top to bottom, achieving the compensation of the spray of water in different directions.
[0009] The machine body is a trapezoid with a wider bottom and a narrower top. The support bracket gradually increases from top to bottom and is divided into support bracket A, support bracket B, and support bracket C.
[0010] On each layer of the support bracket, a support beam can be pulled out. After filling the slides outside, insert them into the device for placement. The multi-layer support bracket can hold more slides for one-time cleaning.
[0011] A water leakage hole plate is set on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the machine body. A water storage cavity is connected below the water leakage hole plate. A water pump is set in the water storage cavity. A drain pipe and a water inlet pipe are respectively set on both sides of the water storage cavity. The water pump is connected to the rotary sprayer through a pipe.
[0012] Switch valves are set on both the drain pipe and the water inlet pipe. Deionized water enters the water storage cavity from the water inlet pipe. After reaching the predetermined water level, the water pump conveys the deionized water to the rotary sprayer and the vertical nozzles. When the deionized water completes a cleaning cycle of a certain time period, the drain pipe switch valve is opened to discharge the sewage. Then, clean water is re-injected to start the next cycle of cleaning.
[0013] A number of heaters are set in the water storage cavity. The heaters can heat the clean water in the water storage cavity, which can improve the cleaning effect.
[0014] The usage process of the present utility model is as follows:
[0015] After filling the support bracket with the cover glasses or slides to be cleaned, place the support bracket on the support beam in the inner cavity of the device, lower the machine cover, inject deionized water into the water storage cavity, turn on the water pump, and turn on the heater as appropriate. The rotary sprayer and the vertical nozzles spray cleaning water. After 10 - 15 minutes of spray cleaning, the liquid discharge valve is opened to drain the liquid, and the waste liquid is discharged into the collection bucket for collection and treatment. Then, the water inlet pipe switch valve is opened again, and the cleaning process is repeated until it is repeated 3 - 4 times, which can be regarded as the completion of cleaning. Subsequently, the experimenter only needs to take out the slides, soak them in alcohol for disinfection, and then they can be used again.
[0016] Advantages of the utility model
[0017] The utility model is applied to batch cleaning of glass slides and coverslips in a laboratory. It adopts a multi-layer trapezoidal placement, with advantages such as a large number of slides loaded at one time and a small occupied area of the equipment, and is suitable for use in experimental places such as laboratories.
[0018] The utility model adopts a multi-directional spraying cleaning mode, with good cleaning effect, high cleaning efficiency, high automation degree, and no need for manual participation in the cleaning process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
