Both ends of the liquid guide tube are fixedly connected to the sleeve, and four nozzles are installed at the bottom of the liquid guide tube. This utility model places both ends of a glass slide on a support plate, then rotates an adjusting disc to drive a screw. The screw rotation simultaneously drives two adjusting plates to move towards the glass slide, thereby clamping the glass slide through a clamping mechanism. Up to four glass slides can be clamped simultaneously, improving rinsing efficiency. Furthermore, the liquid guide tube can be moved during rinsing to adjust the rinsing position, improving rinsing quality.

[0004] While the above-mentioned technical solution facilitates rinsing multiple glass slides, it requires the slides to be allowed to drain naturally after rinsing and then disinfected using sterilization equipment. This involves multiple pieces of equipment, increasing the cost of cleaning the slides. Therefore, we need to propose a rinsing device for staining bacteria in microbial experiments. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a washing device for staining bacteria in microbial experiments, comprising:

[0025] Cleaning chamber 1, and positioning mechanism 2 installed inside cleaning chamber 1 for fixing glass slides;

[0026] The distance adjustment mechanism 3 is set above the cleaning tank 1, and the integrated cleaning mechanism 4 is installed on the distance adjustment mechanism 3 for cleaning the stained bacteria on the glass slide.

[0027] The integrated cleaning mechanism 4 includes a cleaning component 41, an air supply component 42, and a liquid supply component 43. The cleaning component 41 rinses the stained bacteria on the glass slide through the liquid supply component 43, and the cleaning component 41 dries the cleaned glass slide through the air supply component 42.

[0028] The cleaning assembly 41 includes a hollow plate 411, with multiple sets of protruding plates 412 and multiple sets of ultraviolet disinfection lamps 414 arranged on the lower surface of the hollow plate 411. The multiple sets of protruding plates 412 and multiple sets of ultraviolet disinfection lamps 414 are arranged alternately at equal intervals. Each set of protruding plates 412 has multiple sets of spray holes 413 on its lower surface. When the liquid supply assembly 43 delivers the cleaning solution into the hollow plate 411, the cleaning solution is sprayed out through the spray holes 413 on the lower surface of the protruding plates 412 to rinse the stained bacteria on the glass slide. At the same time, the ultraviolet disinfection lamps 414 can disinfect the glass slide and kill residual bacteria. The spray holes 413 can make the cleaning solution evenly sprayed on the glass slide, improving the rinsing effect. The ultraviolet disinfection lamps 414 can disinfect the glass slide during the rinsing process, reduce bacterial residue, and ensure the accuracy of experimental results.

[0029] The air supply assembly 42 includes a hot air blower 421 located on one side of the cleaning chamber 1. The outlet of the hot air blower 421 is connected to a flexible air guide 422. One end of the flexible air guide 422 is connected to a hollow plate 411. A first valve 423 is located at the end of the flexible air guide 422 near the hollow plate 411. The hot air generated by the hot air blower 421 is delivered into the hollow plate 411 through the flexible air guide 422. The hot air is then blown out from the nozzle 413 to dry the cleaned glass slides. The first valve 423 controls the flow of hot air, enabling rapid drying of the glass slides, reducing waiting time, and improving experimental efficiency. By controlling the first valve 423, the supply of hot air can be flexibly controlled, avoiding unnecessary energy waste.

[0030] The liquid supply assembly 43 includes a water tank 431 located on one side of the cleaning tank 1. A water pump 432 is installed inside the water tank 431. A liquid supply hose 433, penetrating the water tank 431, is installed at the outlet of the water pump 432. One end of the liquid supply hose 433 is connected to a hollow plate 411, and a second valve 434 is installed at one end of the hose. The water pump 432 draws cleaning liquid from the water tank 431 and delivers it to the hollow plate 411 through the liquid supply hose 433. The cleaning liquid is sprayed from the nozzle 413 to rinse the glass slides. The second valve 434 controls the flow of the cleaning liquid, providing a stable supply and ensuring smooth rinsing operations. By controlling the second valve 434, the supply of cleaning liquid can be flexibly controlled, and the rinsing intensity and time can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0031] The positioning mechanism 2 includes a hollow support beam 21 fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the cleaning chamber 1. Multiple sets of isolation protrusions 22 are provided on the upper surface of the hollow support beam 21, and multiple sets of adsorption holes 23 are opened on the upper surface of the hollow support beam 21. An extension tube 24 is provided on one side of the hollow support beam 21, and a piston 26 is slidably disposed within the extension tube 24. A handwheel screw 25 for adjusting the position of the piston 26 is provided on one side of the piston 26. When a glass slide is placed on the hollow support beam 21, rotating the handwheel screw 25 causes the piston 26 to slide within the extension tube 24, changing the air pressure inside the hollow support beam 21 and causing the adsorption holes 23 to generate adsorption force, thereby fixing the glass slide on the hollow support beam 21. The isolation protrusions 22 are used to separate different glass slides, preventing mutual interference and firmly fixing the glass slides, preventing movement during rinsing and drying, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the operation. Simultaneously, the multiple sets of isolation protrusions 22 allow for simultaneous operation on multiple glass slides, improving experimental efficiency.

[0032] The distance adjustment mechanism 3 includes two sets of guide square tubes 31 and a support frame 32 inserted into the two sets of guide square tubes 31. A hollow plate 411 is installed on the top of the support frame 32. Both ends of the support frame 32 are provided with limiting components to fix the support frame 32. The distance between the cleaning component 41 and the positioning component can be adjusted by using the limiting components, thereby preventing the cleaning liquid from splashing out of the cleaning tank 1 during cleaning, thus preventing bacteria from splashing out during cleaning and improving the safety of cleaning.

[0033] The limiting component includes a positioning rod 35 and multiple sets of springs 36 disposed on one side of the positioning rod 35. Both ends of the support frame 32 are provided with C-shaped through grooves 34 for mounting the positioning rod 35. One side of the guide square tube 31 is provided with multiple sets of positioning holes 33 for inserting the positioning rod 35. The shape of the positioning rod 35 is the same as that of the C-shaped through groove 34, both being C-shaped. By pressing the positioning rod 35 to compress the spring, the positioning rod 35 can be easily stored in the C-shaped through groove 34, thus facilitating the storage of the positioning rod 35. By inserting the positioning rod 35 into different positioning holes 33, the position of the cleaning component 41 can be adjusted, making it convenient to raise the cleaning component 41 before placing the glass slide and to bring the cleaning component 41 close to the glass slide during cleaning to avoid splashing of cleaning fluid.

[0034] In use, the slide is first placed on the hollow support beam 21 of the positioning mechanism 2. The handwheel screw 25 is turned to make the piston 26 slide, thereby reducing the air pressure inside the hollow support beam 21. The suction force generated by the suction hole 23 fixes the slide. The isolation protrusion 22 can separate multiple slides so as to position slides of different specifications. Then, the distance adjustment mechanism 3 is used to make the support frame 32 slide in the guide square tube 31. After the integrated cleaning mechanism 4 is adjusted to a suitable position, the positioning pressure rod 35 of the limiting component is inserted into the positioning hole 33 under the action of the spring to fix the support frame 32.

[0035] Next, the water pump 432 of the liquid supply assembly 43 draws cleaning fluid from the water tank 431 and sends it into the hollow plate 411 through the liquid supply hose 433. The fluid is then sprayed out from the nozzle 413 of the convex plate 412 to rinse the glass slides. At the same time, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 414 disinfects the slides. After rinsing, the hot air blower 421 of the air supply assembly 42 generates hot air, which is sent into the hollow plate 411 through the air guide hose 422 and blown out from the nozzle 413 to dry the glass slides. The first valve 423 and the second valve 434 control the flow of hot air and cleaning fluid respectively, so as to achieve efficient treatment of the glass slides.

[0036] 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 alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
