[0057] Furthermore, when cleaning the test tube 4, the staff first places the test tube 4 to be cleaned on the test tube placement slot 5. The test tube placement slot 5 plays a positioning role for the placement of the test tube 4. Then, the double-axis cylinder inside the first waterproof box 20 corresponding to the test tube 4 is started. The left and right telescopic ends of the double-axis cylinder drive the two connecting blocks 19 to move to relative positions.

The interior of the test tube 4 will be injected with cleaning water, and the water pump 13 is stopped, and the servo motor is started. The servo motor drives the first rectangular plate 25 to rotate rapidly as a whole. The inside and outer walls of the test tube 4 are cleaned simultaneously by the first flexible cleaning brushes on the two second cleaning shafts 24 and the second flexible cleaning brush on the first cleaning shaft 17. After about ten seconds, the servo motor is stopped and the water pump 13 is started. When the inside of the test tube 4 is injected with cleaning water again, the servo motor is started again.

The two connecting blocks 19 drive the two arc-shaped fixing clamps 21 to move to relative positions through the two fixing rods 18, thereby fixing the lower part of the test tube 4. Fixation is completed;
[0061] Among them, after the fixation is completed, the servo motor 27 is started, and the servo motor 27 drives the connecting shaft 28 to rotate to the right, and the connecting shaft 28 drives the rotating plate 29 to rotate as a whole, and waits until the test tube moves to the bottom of the second cleaning shaft 24 and stops automatically. At this time, the staff can fix the next test tube 4 that needs to be cleaned, and at the same time the first electric telescopic rod 8 is started, and the telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod 8 pushes the water-blocking plate 6 to move downward through the connecting plate 9 and the two L-shaped plates 7. The rotating plate 29 and the second rectangular plate 31 on the right will be attached to the inner wall of the concave groove 30, and cooperate with the water-blocking plate 6 to form a water-blocking wall to prevent water from splashing during the cleaning process.
[0062] Among them, the second electric telescopic rod 11 is started again, and the telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod 11 pushes the second waterproof box 26 to move downward as a whole, so that the second cleaning shaft 24 is inserted into the interior of the test tube 4. It is worth noting that the lower end of the second cleaning shaft 24 is separated from the bottom of the test tube 4 by a certain distance, and then the water pump 13 is started. The water pump 13 draws the cleaning water inside the water tank 12 into the interior of the connecting pipe 16 through the water pipe 14, and the connecting pipe 16 sprays water toward the test tube 4. The interior of the test tube 4 will be injected with cleaning water, and the water pump 13 is stopped, and the servo motor is started. The servo motor drives the first rectangular plate 25 to rotate rapidly as a whole. The inside and outer walls of the test tube 4 are cleaned simultaneously by the first flexible cleaning brushes on the two second cleaning shafts 24 and the second flexible cleaning brush on the first cleaning shaft 17. After about ten seconds, the servo motor is stopped and the water pump 13 is started. When the inside of the test tube 4 is injected with cleaning water again, the servo motor is started again.
