DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a rotating mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one side of the drying box 1, and a clamping disk 3 is snap-connected to the surface inside one end of the rotating mechanism 2, and a locking mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drying box 1. The drying box 1 includes a box body 11, and a box door 12 is hingedly connected to the outer surface of the other side of the box body 11. A fan 13 is installed on the outer surface of the bottom end of the box body 11, and an electric heater 14 is installed at the lower end of the inner surface of the box body 11.

[0037] By starting the fan 13 and the electric heater 14, the electric heater 14 can heat the surrounding air and convert it into hot air. When the fan 13 is working, it blows air toward the upper part of the box 11. When the air passes through the electric heater 14, it is converted into hot air. When this hot air blows to the test tubes inside the box 11, it will take away the moisture on the test tubes, thereby achieving the purpose of rapid drying.

[0038] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4The rotating mechanism 2 includes a mounting plate 21, and the outer surface of one side of the mounting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one side of the box body 11, and a driving motor 22 is mounted on the outer surface of the upper end of the mounting plate 21, and the outer surface of the output end of the driving motor 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 23, and a clamping groove 24 is provided inside the outer surface of one end of the rotating shaft 23, and the inner surfaces of both ends of the upper and lower side surfaces of the clamping groove 24 are provided with insertion holes 25, and a first spring 26 is inserted into the insertion hole 25, and the outer surface of one end of the first spring 26 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 27;

[0039] By inserting the clamping disk 3 into the inside of the locking groove 24, the outer surface of the fixing bar 31 pushes the locking block 27 to retract inwardly until the locking hole 32 is located below the locking block 27, relying on the elasticity of the first spring 26, the locking block 27 can be reset and locked into the inside of the locking hole 32, so that the clamping disk 3 can be locked and fixed. The drive motor 22 adopts a brushless DC motor. The brushless DC motor is an electric motor that uses an electronic commutator to replace traditional brushes and commutators. It converts DC power into mechanical energy with higher efficiency and lower maintenance requirements. It is suitable for a variety of application scenarios. The brushless DC motor uses an electronic controller to change the direction of current to realize rotor rotation without the need for physical brushes and commutators. By starting the drive motor 22 installed on the mounting plate 21, the output end of the drive motor 22 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate, thereby driving the clamping disk 3 to rotate;

[0040] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The cam 32 is fixed to the top of the cam 32 and the cam 32 is fixed to the top of the cam 32. The cam 32 is fixed to the top of the cam 32 and the cam 32 is fixed to the top of the cam 32.

[0041] By pushing the test tube to the middle of the first clamping block 35 and the second clamping block 36, the outer surface of the test tube pushes the first clamping block 35 and the second clamping block 36 to rotate. Then, after the test tube enters between the first clamping block 35 and the second clamping block 36, relying on the elasticity of the second spring 37, the first clamping block 35 and the second clamping block 36 reset and rotate to clamp the test tube. The anti-slip pad 38 is made of rubber. Rubber is a polymer compound with elasticity and plasticity, which is usually used as a raw material for various industrial and consumer products. It can be deformed under the action of external force and can return to its original shape after the external force is removed. Some rubbers have good resistance to oil, chemical solvents and oxidants. The anti-slip pad 38 can prevent the test tube from sliding, and then the fixing bar 31 is snapped into the inside of the snapping groove 24 to carry out drying.

[0042] Embodiment 1;

[0043] See also Figure 7 The locking mechanism 4 includes a first locking piece 41, a fixing post 42 and a snap-fit ​​piece 43. The outer surface of one end of the box body 11 is fixedly connected to the first locking piece 41, and the outer surface of one side of the box door 12 is fixedly connected to the fixing post 42. The outer surface of the fixing post 42 is sleeved with a snap-fit ​​piece 43, and one end of the snap-fit ​​piece 43 is snapped on the outer surface of the first locking piece 41. When the box door 12 needs to be closed for drying, it is only necessary to rotate the box door 12 to the closed state and then rotate the snap-fit ​​piece 43 clockwise to snap the snap-fit ​​piece 43 on the outer surface of the first locking piece 41 to lock the box body 11 and the box door 12. When the box door 12 needs to be opened, it is only necessary to rotate the snap-fit ​​piece 43 counterclockwise to open the box door 12.

[0045] See also Figure 8 The locking mechanism 4 includes a first locking piece 41, a fixing post 42 and a snap-fit ​​piece 43. The first locking piece 41 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one side of the box door 12, and the fixing post 42 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one end of the box body 11. The outer surface of the fixing post 42 is sleeved with a snap-fit ​​piece 43, and one end of the snap-fit ​​piece 43 is snapped on the outer surface of the first locking piece 41. Before drying, close the box door 12, then rotate the snap-fit ​​piece 43 counterclockwise to snap it on the outer surface of the first locking piece 41, and the box door 12 can be locked. When the box door 12 needs to be opened, rotate the snap-fit ​​piece 43 clockwise, and then the box door 12 can be opened.

[0046] Embodiment 3;

[0047] See also Figure 9The locking mechanism 4 includes a second locking piece 44, a locking hole 45 and a hinge piece 46.

When the box door 12 needs to be closed, the box door 12 is first rotated to close, and then the hinge piece 46 is rotated to be sleeved on the outer surface of the second locking piece 44. Finally, a block is inserted into the lock hole 45 to lock the box door 12. When the box door 12 needs to be opened, the block is first removed, and the hinge piece 46 is rotated in the opposite direction to disengage it from the outer surface of the second locking piece 44, and the box door 12 can be opened.

[0048] In the present invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0049] First, turn on the power of the device, then push the outer surface of the test tube against the first clamping block 35 and the second clamping block 36 and rotate them slightly, squeezing the second spring 37 until the test tube is pushed to the outer surface of the anti-slip pad 38. The elasticity of the second spring 37 will cause the first clamping block 35 and the second clamping block 36 to return to the original position and clamp the test tube. All test tubes are clamped and fixed in this way.

[0050] Subsequently, the clamping disk 3 is inserted into the interior of the locking groove 24, and the outer surface of the fixing strip 31 pushes the locking block 27 to retract inward until the locking hole 32 is located below the locking block 27. By relying on the elasticity of the first spring 26, the locking block 27 can be reset and locked into the interior of the locking hole 32, and the clamping disk 3 can be locked and fixed. Then the locking box door 12 is closed through the locking mechanism 4, and finally the fan 13, the electric heater 14 and the drive motor 22 are started to dry the test tube. The above is the entire working principle of the utility model.

[0051] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
