Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to experimental cleaning equipment in the fields of chemical analysis and soil testing, and in particular to a simple electric rinsing device for test tubes used in organic matter testing. Background Technology
[0002] In many scientific research and experimental fields such as chemical analysis and soil testing, organic matter detection is a crucial task. As a commonly used experimental instrument, the cleaning effect of test tubes directly affects the accuracy and reliability of the test results. In the early days, researchers mainly relied on manually cleaning test tubes with test tube brushes. This method was not only inefficient, but the cleaning quality also depended on the skill level of the operator. It was difficult to thoroughly remove some hard-to-reach corners and stubborn stains, which could easily lead to cross-contamination and affect subsequent experiments.
[0003] With advancements in technology and increasing experimental demands, test tube cleaning technology is gradually evolving towards automation and intelligence. Various types of test tube cleaning equipment have emerged on the market, such as spray cleaners, which use high-pressure nozzles to spray cleaning fluid onto the inner and outer walls of test tubes to achieve cleaning; and ultrasonic cleaners, which utilize the cavitation effect of ultrasound to generate and break tiny bubbles in the cleaning fluid, thereby impacting the dirt on the test tube surface. However, these devices suffer from problems such as complex structure, high cost, and poor cleaning effectiveness for specific stains.
[0004] Manual cleaning: Researchers manually clean test tubes using a tube brush, relying on experience and skill to apply the cleaning solution to all parts of the tube to remove stains. This method is simple to operate, but it is inefficient, labor-intensive, and the cleaning effect varies from person to person, making it difficult to guarantee consistent cleaning quality.
[0005] Spray cleaning equipment: This type of equipment uses multiple nozzles, with a water pump pressurizing the cleaning solution before spraying it out from the nozzles to create a high-pressure spray that rinses the inner and outer walls of the test tubes. Its advantages include a high degree of automation and the ability to clean multiple test tubes simultaneously. However, the equipment has a complex structure, can create blind spots, is less effective at cleaning stubborn stains, and is relatively expensive.
[0006] Ultrasonic cleaners utilize an ultrasonic generator to produce high-frequency vibrations, which generate numerous tiny bubbles in the cleaning solution. When these bubbles burst on the surface of the test tube, they create impact force that removes dirt. Their advantage is that they can clean even tiny crevices and hidden areas. However, their effectiveness is limited for test tubes with complex shapes and small diameters, and they may not completely remove organic residues. Furthermore, they consume a relatively high amount of energy.
[0007] Rotary cleaning devices: These typically use a motor to drive the test tube brush or cleaning head to rotate and clean the inner wall of the test tube. However, they generally only clean the inner wall of the test tube and are not very effective at cleaning the outer wall. In addition, they are mostly used for cleaning single test tubes and cannot meet the needs of cleaning multiple test tubes at the same time.
[0008] In the field of organic matter detection, traditional cleaning equipment struggles to meet the requirements for deep cleaning due to the complex composition of residual organic matter in test tubes. This invention addresses this issue by developing a simple, electric-powered test tube rinsing device for organic matter detection. Its aim is to achieve efficient cleaning of test tubes with a simple structure and low cost, overcoming the shortcomings of existing cleaning technologies in cleaning test tubes for organic matter detection. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Working principle of this utility model:
[0018] In organic matter detection experiments, test tube cleaning is a crucial step, but existing cleaning technologies have many drawbacks. Manual cleaning is inefficient and produces inconsistent quality, relying on manual operation and making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale experiments; spray cleaning equipment has a complex structure, high cost, and is prone to leaving cleaning dead spots; ultrasonic cleaners are ineffective at cleaning stubborn organic matter and consume a lot of energy; traditional rotary cleaning devices only clean the inner wall and cannot process multiple test tubes simultaneously.
[0019] This invention aims to solve the aforementioned problems by providing a simple, low-cost, electrically operated test tube rinsing device for organic matter detection. Through innovative design, two motors drive the inner and outer test tube brushes respectively. One motor rotates clockwise to drive the inner brush, and the other counterclockwise to drive the outer brush.
