Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning devices, and in particular relates to a reagent tube cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] After use, reagent tubes may retain residue from the previous experiment, including impurities such as viscous gels. If these residues are not thoroughly removed, there is a risk of contaminating newly added reagents. These tubes are typically placed in a sink, clamped, and soaked in clean water. Ultrasonic vibration is then used to remove impurities.

[0003] The tank typically uses a rubber sleeve to secure the reagent tube, preventing it from falling out due to the impact of the water flow. To remove as much impurities as possible, multiple brushes are installed vertically inside the tank. The brushes are inserted into the reagent tube, and the bristles scrub the inner wall of the tube.

[0004] When cleaning existing reagent tubes, impurities are removed by rubbing a brush against the inner wall of the reagent tube. However, the gaps between the bristles are small, which easily traps impurities such as viscous gel reagents. The bristles on the brush are relatively dense, making cleaning the brush time-consuming and labor-intensive, and prolonging the time required to prepare the brush for subsequent reagent tube cleaning. To this end, a reagent tube cleaning device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a reagent tube cleaning device, which can impact the inner wall of the reagent tube and the bristles through the oxygen bubble jet to wash away impurities, thereby saving the time for preparing the brush during subsequent reagent tube cleaning.

[0009] A metal frame is slidably installed on the inside of the cleaning box. The metal frame includes a square ring-shaped frame and a plurality of ribs distributed in a horizontal array inside the frame. The frame is fixedly connected to the lifting mechanism. One side of the ribs is fixedly connected to the outer side of the adjacent clamps. After each clamp clamps the reagent tube, the lifting mechanism is used to push the metal frame, which can drive all the reagent tubes to rise and fall synchronously, and the metal frame is supported by a slide rail to facilitate the metal frame to remain level inside the cleaning box.

[0010] The lifting mechanism includes two folding plates symmetrically inserted at the opening of the cleaning box, and the upper ends of the two folding plates extend horizontally in opposite directions out of the interior of the cleaning box. The lower surfaces of the two folding plates are fixed with hydraulic cylinders, and the outer sides of the two hydraulic cylinders are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the cleaning box. The two hydraulic cylinders are controlled by an industrial computer to synchronously lift the two folding plates, which can drive the metal frame and the clamp to rise, so that the clamp is exposed to clamp the reagent tube. Then, the two folding plates, the metal frame and the clamp are lowered, which can drive the reagent tube to be immersed in clean water, and intermittently shake up and down on the outside of the brush to facilitate the brush to rub the inner wall of the reagent tube.

[0011] Multiple plastic compression springs are fixed to the lower surfaces of the two folding plates, and the lower ends of the plastic compression springs are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cleaning box. When the two folding plates, metal frames, and clips shake up and down, the deformation of the plastic compression springs is used for support and limitation to prevent the two folding plates from being too low and directly hitting the upper surface of the cleaning box.

[0012] The upper ends of the stainless steel tubes are all bonded with limiting rubber rings. When the reagent tube is lowered, the limiting rubber rings are used to limit the position, which can support the upper wall of the reagent tube and prevent the upper ends of the stainless steel tubes from hitting the reagent tube.

[0013] The openings of the clamps are all threaded with adjusting bolts, which include butterfly bolts and nuts. The nuts are welded on one side of the clamps and the butterfly bolts are arranged on the other side of the clamps. In this way, rotating the butterfly bolt forward can pull the opening of the clamps to tighten and clamp the reagent tubes, and reversing the butterfly bolt can open the opening of the clamps to loosen the reagent tubes.

The oxygen bubble jet can impact the inner wall of the reagent tube and the bristles of the brush, and wash away impurities, so as to automatically clean the brush, reduce impurities stuck in the bristles of the brush, and save time for preparing the brush for subsequent reagent tube cleaning.

[0023] In order to make the purpose and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the following embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is only used to describe one or several specific embodiments of the present invention and does not strictly limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a reagent tube cleaning device includes a cleaning box 1, which is a hollow cubic structure with an upper opening and a lifting mechanism provided at the opening. A plurality of stainless steel tubes 2 are fixed at intervals on the lower wall of the cleaning box 1, and the upper ends of the stainless steel tubes 2 are all facing upward. A clamp 4 connected to the lifting mechanism is provided above the stainless steel tubes 2, and the clamps 4 are all in a "C"-shaped structure with the opening facing away from the stainless steel tube 2. A plurality of brushes 3 are fixed at intervals on the outside of the stainless steel tube 2, and the brushes 3 are fixed to the outside of the stainless steel tube 2 by countersunk screws, and the central axis of the brush 3 is parallel to the central axis of the stainless steel tube 2.

[0025] The bristles on the edge of the brush 3 extend toward both sides, so that the bristles of two adjacent brushes 3 are almost against each other, and can cover the inner wall of the reagent tube;

[0026] It also includes a bubble machine 5 located below the cleaning box 1. The bubble machine 5 can use an ACO-009 electromagnetic air pump with a power of 120W, an exhaust volume of 120L / min, and an air supply pressure of 0.04Mpa. It is equipped with a check valve. The output end of the bubble machine 5 is connected to and fixed with a number of air intake hoses 6. One end of the air intake hose 6 passes through the bottom surface of the cleaning box 1 and is connected to the lower port of the adjacent stainless steel pipe 2. A plurality of air outlet holes 7 are provided on the outside of the stainless steel pipe 2 between the two brushes 3. When cleaning the reagent tube, first control the lifting mechanism to lift each clamp 4, clamp the reagent tube opening downward one by one on the clamp 4, and then add sufficient clean water and detergent to the cleaning box 1. The lifting mechanism lowers the reagent tube and immerses it in clean water, and puts it on the outside of the brush 3. The stainless steel tube 2 is used to support the brush 3. The bristles of the brush 3 can continuously rub the inner wall of the reagent tube and brush off impurities such as colloidal reagents. At the same time, the bubble machine 5 is started to oxygenate each stainless steel tube 2 along the air inlet hose 6, forming a bubble flow that is intermittently ejected along the air outlet 7 and the upper end of the stainless steel tube 2. The oxygen bubble jet can impact the inner wall of the reagent tube and the bristles, and wash away impurities, so as to automatically clean the brush 3, reduce impurities stuck in the bristles of the brush 3, and save the time for preparing the brush 3 during subsequent reagent tube cleaning. After cleaning, a drain valve is fixed at the bottom of the cleaning box 1, and the sewage can be discharged by opening the drain valve.

[0027] Among them, a silicone sleeve is bonded and fixed inside the clip 4 to restrain the reagent tube, and with reference to the Chinese utility model publication number CN220371843U, a reagent tube disinfection and cleaning device, an ultrasonic oscillator and a water filter can be installed inside the cleaning box 1, which can emit ultrasonic waves into the clean water to excite impurities on the inner wall of the reagent tube and accelerate the shedding of impurities.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a metal frame 8 is slidably installed on the inside of the cleaning box 1. The metal frame 8 includes a square ring-shaped frame and a plurality of ribs distributed in a horizontal array inside the frame. The frame is fixedly connected to the lifting mechanism, and one side of the ribs is fixedly connected to the outer side of the adjacent clamps 4. After each clamp 4 clamps the reagent tube, the lifting mechanism is used to push the metal frame 8, which can drive all the reagent tubes to rise and fall synchronously, and the metal frame 8 is supported by a slide rail to facilitate the metal frame 8 to remain level inside the cleaning box 1.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the lifting mechanism includes two folding plates 9 symmetrically inserted at the opening of the cleaning box 1, and the upper ends of the two folding plates 9 extend horizontally in opposite directions out of the interior of the cleaning box 1. The lower surfaces of the two folding plates 9 are fixed with hydraulic cylinders 10, and the two hydraulic cylinders 10 share the same hydraulic system, which is not shown in the prior art. The outer sides of the two hydraulic cylinders 10 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the cleaning box 1. The two hydraulic cylinders 10 are controlled by an industrial computer to synchronously lift the two folding plates 9, which can drive the metal frame 8 and the clamp 4 to rise, so as to expose the clamp 4 to clamp the reagent tube. Then, the two folding plates 9, the metal frame 8, and the clamp 4 are lowered, which can drive the reagent tube to be immersed in clean water, and intermittently shake up and down on the outside of the brush 3 to facilitate the brush 3 to rub the inner wall of the reagent tube.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple plastic compression springs 11 are fixed to the lower surfaces of the two folding plates 9, and the lower ends of the plastic compression springs 11 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cleaning box 1. When the two folding plates 9, the metal frame 8, and the clip 4 shake up and down, the deformation of the plastic compression springs 11 is used for support and limitation to prevent the two folding plates 9 from being too low and directly hitting the upper surface of the cleaning box 1.

[0031] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper ends of the stainless steel tubes 2 are bonded with limiting rubber rings 12, which can be made of silicone. When the reagent tube is lowered, the limiting rubber rings 12 are used for limiting the position, which can resist the upper wall of the reagent tube and prevent the upper end of the stainless steel tube 2 from hitting the reagent tube.

[0032] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the openings of the clamps 4 are all threaded with adjusting bolts 13, and the adjusting bolts 13 include butterfly bolts and nuts, wherein the nut is welded on one side of the clamp 4, and the butterfly bolt is arranged on the other side of the clamp 4. In this way, the forward rotation of the butterfly bolt can pull the opening of the clamp 4 to tighten, to clamp the reagent tube, and the reverse rotation of the butterfly bolt can open the opening of the clamp 4 to loosen the reagent tube.

[0033] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when cleaning the reagent tubes, the lifting mechanism is first controlled to lift each clamp 4, and the reagent tubes are clamped onto the clamps 4 one by one with their openings facing downwards.

[0034] Then add enough clean water and detergent into the cleaning box 1, lower the reagent tube into the clean water through the lifting mechanism, put it on the outside of the brush 3, use the stainless steel tube 2 to support the brush 3, and use the bristles of the brush 3 to continuously rub the inner wall of the reagent tube to brush off impurities such as gel reagents.

[0035] At the same time, the bubble machine 5 is started to add oxygen to each stainless steel tube 2 along the air inlet hose 6, forming a bubble flow that is intermittently ejected along the air outlet 7 and the upper end of the stainless steel tube 2. The oxygen bubble jet can impact the inner wall and bristles of the reagent tube and wash away impurities, so as to automatically clean the brush 3, reduce impurities stuck in the bristles of the brush 3, and save time for preparing the brush 3 when cleaning the reagent tube later.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art may make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this invention shall, unless otherwise specified or limited, be implemented in accordance with conventional means in the art.
