[0036] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0037] The present application embodiment discloses a mop disinfection machine for experimental animals. Figure 1 The laboratory animal mop disinfection integrated machine includes a cleaning container 1, a connecting frame 2, and a disinfectant storage container 3. The connecting frame 2 is connected to the cleaning container 1, and the disinfectant storage container 3 is connected to the connecting frame 2 so that disinfectant can be added to the cleaning container 1.

[0038] The cleaning container 1 is in the shape of a square basket, and a partition is fixed in the middle of the inner cavity of the cleaning container 1 to separate the inner cavity of the cleaning container 1 into a soaking chamber 4 and a cleaning chamber 5 located on both sides of the partition. The soaking chamber 4 and the cleaning chamber 5 both have upward openings. The soaking chamber 4 is used to mix disinfectant and allow the mop to enter for soaking, and the cleaning chamber 5 is used to allow the mop to enter and clean the mop.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connecting frame 2 is in a square frame shape and is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the cleaning container 1, and the connecting frame 2 is located on one end of the cleaning container 1 away from the cleaning chamber 5. A mounting rod 22 is provided in the middle of the connecting frame 2 for mounting the disinfectant storage container 3.

[0040] The disinfectant storage container 3 is bottle-shaped and has a lid threadedly connected to the opening. The disinfectant storage container 3 is made of a transparent and corrosion-resistant material, such as plastic or glass. The disinfectant storage container 3 stores the disinfectant stock solution for the day or week. Commonly used disinfectants include DuPont Virbac, sodium hypochlorite, 75% alcohol, and peracetic acid.

[0041] The disinfectant storage container 3 is detachably mounted on the mounting rod 22. In this embodiment, a plastic clip 23 is fixed to the disinfectant storage container 3. The mounting rod 22 is a round rod that cooperates with the clip 23. Applying force to the clip 23 causes it to elastically deform and open, allowing the clip 23 to be sleeved onto the mounting rod 22, thereby mounting the disinfectant storage container 3 on the mounting rod 22. In other embodiments, the disinfectant storage container 3 can also be mounted using bolt connections, magnetic connections, or other methods.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 The outer wall of the disinfectant storage container 3 has a scale mark 6. The scale mark 6 can be a scale fixed to the disinfectant container or a scale mark drawn on the disinfectant container. In this embodiment, the scale mark is preferably a scale mark, and the scale marks are arranged along the extension direction of the disinfectant storage container 3. When the lid of the disinfectant storage container 3 is opened, the disinfectant can be poured into the soaking chamber 4, and the amount of disinfectant used can be controlled by the scale mark 6.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the cleaning container 1 is also made of a transparent material, preferably a hard plastic in this embodiment. A vertically extending guide rail 8 is fixed to the outer wall of the cleaning container 1 near the immersion chamber 4. An indicator mark 7 is vertically adjustable on the guide rail 8 to indicate the liquid level in the immersion chamber 4. The outer wall of the guide rail 8 is provided with a scale mark 9, which is a scale mark engraved on the outer wall of the guide rail 8.

[0044] The indicator mark 7 is moved to different heights according to different types of disinfectant stock solutions, so as to facilitate the control of the liquid capacity in the immersion chamber 4 for different disinfectant stock solutions, thereby enhancing the accuracy of the ratio between the disinfectant stock solution and water, and improving the accuracy of the disinfectant solution reaching the qualified concentration after mixing.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 Specifically, in this embodiment, the guide rail 8 has a guide groove 10 extending vertically, the guide groove 10 passes through the upper and lower ends of the guide rail 8 and the side of the guide rail 8 away from the outer wall of the cleaning container 1, and the guide groove 10 is used for the indicator mark 7 to enter and move.

[0046] The indicator 7 includes an adjustment seat 71, a pressing seat 72, a pointer 73, and a leaf spring 74. The adjustment seat 71 is block-shaped, and the extension width of the adjustment block is greater than the extension width of the guide slot 10. The guide rail 8 has vertically extending extension slots 24 on the inner walls of the guide slot 10 at opposite ends. The adjustment seat 71 slides up and down simultaneously in the extension slots 24 on both sides of the guide slot 10 and the guide rail 8.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The pressing seat 72 is square-shaped and slides vertically along the length of the guide rail 8 onto the adjustment seat 71. The end of the pressing seat 72 away from the cleaning container 1 extends out of the guide rail 8 and is connected to a pointer 73. The pointer 73 extends horizontally and close to the immersion chamber 4, facing the immersion chamber 4, to facilitate observation of the distance between the liquid level in the immersion chamber 4 and the pointer 73. The end of the pressing seat 72 close to the cleaning container 1 passes through the adjustment seat 71 and is connected to a leaf spring 74. The leaf spring 74 is located in the space enclosed by the adjustment seat 71 and the guide rail 8.

[0048] More importantly, the guide rail 8 has multiple protrusions 11 fixed vertically and evenly spaced on the inner walls of the guide groove 10 on opposite sides, forming a recessed slot 12 between adjacent protrusions 11. The adjustment seat 71 has outwardly protruding engaging portions 13 on the outer walls on opposite sides, and the shape and dimensions of the engaging portions 13 match those of the slot 12.

[0049] When the leaf spring 74 is not subjected to any other external force, both ends of the leaf spring 74 abut against the inner wall of the guide rail 8, and the middle portion of the leaf spring 74 protrudes 11 toward the adjustment seat 71 and abuts against the adjustment seat 71. At this time, the clamping portion 13 abuts against one of the slots 12 on the same side, so that the indicator 7 and the guide rail 8 are relatively positioned, thereby positioning the pointer 73. The pressing seat 72 is pressed toward the cleaning container 1, so that the pressing seat 72 squeezes the leaf spring 74, and the clamping portion 13 disengages the slot 12. At this time, the indicator 7 can be moved up and down relative to the guide rail 8 to adjust the position of the pointer 73. After the position of the indicator 7 is adjusted, the pressure on the pressing seat 72 is released, and the elastic force of the leaf spring 74 can reset the leaf spring 74, causing the pressing seat 72 to move to the clamping portion 13 and re-engage in the slot 12.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 Furthermore, a drain basket 17 is hung on the cleaning container 1 via a hook, allowing the drain basket 17 to enter the cleaning chamber 5. The drain basket 17 is a circular basket with an upward opening, and drain holes 18 are arranged in an array on the wall of the drain basket 17. A disc-shaped rotating base 19 is coaxially connected to the bottom of the drain basket 17, and the outer diameter of the rotating base 19 is smaller than the inner diameter of the drain basket 17.

[0051] The mop used for cleaning is a conventional rotary mop. Pressing the mop handle downwards rotates the mop. After cleaning in the cleaning chamber 5, the mop is placed in the drain basket 17, which abuts against the rotating base 19. The rotation of the mop drives the rotating base 19 to rotate together, and the mop drains water into the cleaning chamber 5 through the drain hole 18 during the rotation.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, a plurality of hooks 21 are installed on the top rod of the connecting frame 2 for hanging cleaning tools such as mops and brooms, so that the cleaning tools are suspended relative to the ground, so as to improve the orderliness of the cleaning tools while improving the cleanliness of the cleaning tools. After the mop is cleaned, the remaining water in the mop can be gradually drained by the principle of gravity to reduce the growth of bacteria on the mop.

[0053] In addition, the hook 21 can fix the sliding block 25 at the top, and the top rod of the connecting frame 2 has a sliding rail 26 extending along the length direction of the rod. The sliding block 25 slides in the sliding rail 26 to be able to adjust the distance between the hooks 21 to adapt to the sizes of different cleaning tools.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 Furthermore, to facilitate the flow of water into and out of the cleaning container 1, a water inlet port 15 is mounted on the top of the cleaning container 1. The water inlet port 15 is faucet-shaped. The water inlet end of the water inlet port 15 can be connected to a tap water pipe, and the water outlet end of the water inlet port 15 is connected to a water inlet pipe 16. The water inlet pipe 16 is made of a hose material and can be made of a stainless steel hose or a rubber hose. In this embodiment, a stainless steel hose is preferred. The water outlet end of the water inlet pipe 16 can be swung to either the immersion chamber 4 or the water outlet chamber to fill the cleaning container 1 with water.

[0055] Two water outlet interfaces 14 are connected to the cleaning container 1. The water outlet interfaces 14 are in the shape of faucets. The water inlet ends of the two water outlet interfaces 14 are respectively connected to the soaking chamber 4 and the cleaning chamber 5, and the water outlet ends of the water outlet interfaces 14 can be connected to the sewer pipe in the sewage centralized treatment tank to facilitate the discharge of sewage in the cleaning container 1.

[0056] More importantly, a plurality of movable wheels 20 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 2 and the bottom of the cleaning container 1 to improve the convenience of moving the cleaning container 1. In other embodiments, the movable wheels 20 can be installed only at the bottom of the cleaning container 1 or only at the bottom of the connecting frame 2.

[0057] The operating principle of the integrated mop disinfector for laboratory animals in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: first, the position of the indicator 7 is adjusted according to the type of disinfectant stock solution, and the water inlet interface 15 is connected to the water source through a pipe. Then, water is pumped into the soaking chamber 4. When the water reaches the position of the indicator 7, the water is stopped and the disinfectant stock solution is added. Then, the water is pumped into the cleaning chamber 5 through the water inlet interface 15.

[0058] The mop is then placed in the immersion chamber to soak it in disinfectant, then taken out and placed in the drain basket 17 to drain some of the water as needed. The mop is then mopped. After mopping, the mop is placed in the cleaning chamber 5 for cleaning. After cleaning, the mop is placed in the drain basket 17 for draining, and then hung on the hook 21 for further water control. The water outlet 14 is then opened to discharge the wastewater after use into the centralized wastewater treatment tank.

[0059] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
