The air drying tank 1 8 and the air drying tank 2 11 are slightly larger than the two driving frames 29. The immersion scrubbing tank 7 and the pickling rinsing tank 10 can meet the size of the rotation of the two driving frames 29. A certain distance space is left between the three placement frames 24 so that the three placement frames 24 can rotate at a certain angle.

[0033] The interior of the driving frame 29 is provided with a receiving slot 25 and two driving slots 28. The two driving slots 28 are both located on one side of the receiving slot 25. The interior of the driving frame 29 is rotatably connected with three rotating shafts 26. The three rotating shafts 26 are each provided with a pulley at one end located inside the receiving slot 25. The three pulleys are connected through two transmission belts 27.

[0034] Two placement frames 24 are provided outside the three rotating shafts 26 , and the two placement frames 24 are respectively located inside the two driving slots 28 . A placement slot 23 is opened inside the placement frame 24 , and the placement slot 23 runs through the front, back and top of the placement frame 24 .

[0039] One end of one of the three rotating shafts 26 is fixedly connected to a driving plate 20, and the driving plate 20 is located outside the driving frame 29. The driving plate 20 is used to drive the placement frame 24 to rotate a certain angle after contacting the blocking blocks on the inner walls of the air-drying tank 1 8 and the air-drying tank 2 11.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] When cleaning the bacterial culture plates, first, each bacterial culture plate is inserted into the placement groove 23. Under the push of the elastic member 22, the clamping frames 21 on both sides are brought together to clamp and fix the culture plates. Then, the linear motor 13 drives the entire lifting mechanism to move the culture plates to the top of the soaking and scrubbing tank 7. The electric telescopic rod 17 is started to lower the driving frame 29 carrying the culture plates into the soaking and scrubbing tank 7. The plates are first soaked in clean water to soften and dissolve impurities and residues attached to the surface of the culture plates.

[0042] After the soaking and cleaning is completed, the culture plate is moved to the interior of the air-drying tank 1 8 by the above-mentioned driving mechanism. When the driving frame 29 descends to a certain height, the driving plate 20 contacts the protruding block and is blocked by the protruding block and slowly rotates and tilts, thereby causing the multiple placement frames 24 loaded with culture plates to tilt synchronously, driving the entire culture plate to tilt, so that the drainage process of the culture plate is more rapid and complete. The fan 3 is started to air-dry the culture plate after soaking and cleaning;

[0043] After the first air drying, the culture plate is moved by the aforementioned drive mechanism into the interior of the pickling and rinsing tank 10, where the strong oxidizing effect of the acid removes trace impurities that cannot be removed by brushing, such as mineral deposits and other chemical residues. The culture plate is then raised a distance, the acid in the container is drained, and then rinsed through the rinsing nozzle in the tank.

[0044] After the acid rinse is completed, the culture plate is moved to the interior of the air-drying tank 2 11 by the above-mentioned driving mechanism, and the tilting action of the first air-drying is repeated. The fan 3 is started to air-dry the culture plate after the acid rinse;

[0045] During immersion cleaning and acid rinsing, the motors inside the motor shield 18 are all in the started state, and the culture plate is driven to rotate slowly through the connecting block 19 and the driving frame 29 so that the internal cleaning liquid can more fully contact the culture plate.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
