A cleaning mechanism is provided at the top of the base 1. The cleaning mechanism includes a moving plate 17. The outer wall of the moving plate 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the base 1, enabling the moving plate 17 to move horizontally along the inner wall of the base 1. A fixture 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving plate 17, enabling the moving plate 17 to drive the fixture 12 to move together when moving horizontally, and enabling the container to be fixed on the moving plate 17. A cleaning cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving plate 17, enabling the moving plate 17 to drive the cleaning cylinder 10 to move together when moving horizontally. A brush 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 10, providing a fixed support for the brush 19 through the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 10. A handle 11 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the moving plate 17 through a spring 18, enabling the handle 11 to always maintain an inward movement effect without being affected by external forces.

[0031] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3, a rubber pad 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clamp 12, so that when the clamp 12 clamps the container, it can avoid damaging the outer wall of the container. The outer wall of the handle 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the moving plate 17, so that the handle 11 can move horizontally along the inner wall of the moving plate 17, and can drive the moving plate 17 to move horizontally. The outer wall of the handle 11 is snap-connected to the outer wall of the base 1, so that when the handle 11 is snap-connected to the outer wall of the base 1, the moving plate 17 can be fixed at a designated position.

[0032] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 , a water pump 7 is fixedly connected to the top end of the base 1, which provides a fixed support effect for the water pump 7 through the top end of the base 1. The output end of the water pump 7 is fixedly connected to a water inlet pipe 8, and the top end of the water inlet pipe 8 is fixedly connected to a water tank 9, so that the water pump 7 can transport the water source to the inside of the water tank 9 through the water inlet pipe 8. The inner wall of the water tank 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning cylinder 10, which provides a fixed support effect for the water tank 9 through the outer wall of the cleaning cylinder 10. A water inlet hole 20 is opened on the outer wall of the top of the cleaning cylinder 10, so that the water source inside the water tank 9 can flow into the inside of the cleaning cylinder 10 through the water inlet hole 20. The bottom end of the cleaning cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to a drain pipe 16, so that the waste water in the cleaning cylinder 10 can be discharged through the drain pipe 16.

[0033] Refer to Figure 1 , a lifting motor 5 is fixedly connected to the top end of the base 1, which provides a fixed support effect for the lifting motor 5 through the top end of the base 1. The output end of the lifting motor 5 is fixedly connected to a detector 2, so that the lifting motor 5 can drive the detector 2 to move vertically. The bottom end of the detector 2 is fixedly connected to a guide post 6, so that when the detector 2 moves vertically, it can drive the guide post 6 to move together. The outer wall of the guide post 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the base 1, so that when the detector 2 moves vertically, it can always move along the designated position.

[0034] Refer to Figure 1 , a column 15 is fixedly connected to the detection end of the detector 2, so that the detector 2 can drive the column 15 to rotate. The bottom end of the column 15 is fixedly connected to a rotor 14, so that when the column 15 rotates, it can drive the rotor 14 to rotate together. The outer wall of the rotor 14 is in contact connection with the outer wall of the brush 19, so that the surface of the rotor 14 can be cleaned by the brush 19.

[0035] Refer to Figure 3 , one end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the moving plate 17, and the other end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the handle 11, so that when the handle 11 is released, the handle 11 can immediately move inward through the elastic force of the spring 18.

[0036] Refer to Figure 1 -Figure 2 On the outer wall of the detector 2, a display panel 3 is fixedly connected. Through the display panel 3, the effect of the detection data can be observed. On the outer wall of the detector 2, a control button 4 is fixedly connected, enabling the operator to control the operation of the device through the control button 4. There are multiple groups of water inlet holes 20, enabling the water source to flush annularly along the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 10, resulting in a better cleaning effect on the rotor 14.

[0037] Working principle: When using the device, first start the lifting motor 5 to drive the detector 2 and the rotor 14 to rise. Then, clamp the sample container on the moving plate 17 by the fixture 12. Then, start the lifting motor 5 again to lower the rotor 14 into the container. Then, start the detector 2 to detect the sample in the container.

[0038] When the detection is completed, start the lifting motor 5 again to raise the rotor 14. Then, pull the handle 11 outwards to release its clamping connection with the base 1 and at the same time release the fixation of the moving plate 17. Then, push the handle 11 to the left to drive the moving plate 17 to translate to the left. When it moves to the specified position, release the handle 11. Then, the handle 11 will move inwards due to the elastic force of the spring 18 and engage with the outer wall of the base 1, and at the same time fix the moving plate 17 at the specified position. At this time, the cleaning cylinder 10 will be located below the rotor 14. Then, start the lifting motor 5 again and start the detector 2 at the same time, so that the rotor 14 rotates while descending. Then, turn on the water pump 7, and the water source will flow into the cleaning cylinder 10 from the water inlet pipe 8 to flush the surface of the rotor 14. At the same time, the brush 19 on the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 10 will clean the surface of the rotor 14 together. The cleaned water will also be discharged outside the cleaning cylinder 10 through the drain pipe 16. When the cleaning is completed, the lifting motor 5 drives the rotor 14 to rise again. Then, through the rising operation, pull the handle 11 to the right to make the fixture 12 located directly below the rotor 14, thus completing the use and cleaning of the device.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
