[0029] In implementation, the handle 8 in the driving assembly can be two, and the two handles 8 are arranged in left and right arrangement;
[0030] As Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the connecting plate 7 is provided with a water inlet pipe 10, the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe 10 is connected with a branch pipe 11 in communication, the branch pipe 11 is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 7, and a spray head 13 is installed on the branch pipe 11; the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 10 is connected with a water pump 9 in communication, and the water pump 9 is installed at the top of the horizontal plate 5; the water inlet end of the water pump 9 is connected with a water inlet pipe in communication; the whole of this segment constitutes a washing assembly for washing the slide 16; the water pump 9 is electrically connected with a control switch and a battery, the battery is used to power the water pump 9, and the control switch is used to control the start and stop of the water pump 9; the spray nozzle of the spray head 13 faces downward; in use, the water inlet pipe on the water pump 9 is connected with an external water source, such as being placed in a container containing distilled water, and then the water pump 9 can suck the distilled water into the water inlet pipe 10, and then into the branch pipe 11 from the water inlet pipe 10, and then sprayed out through the spray head 13, because the spray head 13 is located on the front side of the horizontal plate 5, the slide 16 is fixed on the front side of the vertical plate 2, and the connecting plate 7 is located above the slide 16, so the water source sprayed out by the spray head 13 can be sprayed onto the slide 16; in the process of staining the microorganisms on the slide 16, such as adding crystal violet staining solution on the slide 16 in the Gram staining method, after staining for 1 minute, the microorganisms on the slide 16 need to be washed, and in the conventional method, the slide 16 needs to be taken to a washing tank for washing, so the operation is relatively cumbersome, and in this design, the spray head 13 is designed above the slide 16, so the slide 16 can be directly washed, without the need to move the slide 16 back and forth, thereby reducing the burden on the operator, facilitating the washing of the slide 16, and during washing, because the connecting plate 7 can move forward and backward, the connecting plate 7 can drive the spray head 13 at the bottom thereof to move forward and backward, and during the forward and backward movement of the spray head 13, the slide 16 can be washed from front to back or from back to front, so that through the design of the adjustable position of the spray head 13, the slide 16 can be washed more cleanly; when the connecting plate 7 moves forward and backward, the water inlet pipe 10 needs to move forward and backward, so the water inlet pipe 10 is preferably a hose, so that the water inlet pipe 10 can stretch according to the moving distance;
[0031] In implementation, the spray head 13 in the washing assembly is preferably a bottle washing spray head, which is long and has a gentle flow, so as to avoid the microorganism sample from being washed away;
[0032] As Figure 1As shown, the spray head 13 is installed with several, and the branch pipe 11 between each adjacent two spray heads 13 is installed with a water outlet valve 12; because the preferred clamping groove 15 is several, so the branch pipe 11 corresponding to the clamping groove 15 directly above each is provided with a spray head 13, so as to correspond to the glass 16 in each clamping groove 15 to flush, several spray heads 13 are installed in series on the branch pipe 11, so that by setting the design of the water outlet valve 12, whether the water source in the branch pipe 11 is blocked into the next spray head 13; in use, if only a piece of glass 16 on the microorganism is stained, adjust the water outlet valve 12 so that only one spray head 13 can spray water source, if the microorganism on two pieces of glass 16 needs to be stained, adjust the water outlet valve 12 so that two spray heads 13 can spray water source; then limit the glass 16 in the clamping groove 15 below the water outlet spray head 13; therefore, through the design of the water outlet valve 12, the waste of water source is avoided;
[0033] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 the rear side wall of the support plate 4 is hinged to the top of the first limiting plate 3, and can be turned up; the rear side wall of the support plate 4 can be hinged to the top of the first limiting plate 3 by hinge or pivot, when the support plate 4 is hinged and turned up, it can drive the glass 16 on it to turn from front to back; in use, when the glass 16 is washed by the washing assembly, turn the support plate 4 up to incline the glass 16 limited in the clamping groove 15, when the glass 16 is inclined, the water stains remaining on the glass 16 during cleaning can be left faster, so as to quickly remove the water stains on the glass 16;
[0034] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 the rear side wall of the fixed plate 6 is hinged to the top of the second limiting plate 14, and can be turned up; the rear side wall of the fixed plate 6 can be hinged to the top of the second limiting plate 14 by hinge or pivot, in use, when the fixed plate 6 is turned up, it can drive the connecting plate 7 to turn up, the connecting plate 7 can drive the washing assembly on it to turn up, when the above-mentioned parts are turned up, the top of the glass 16 is not shielded, so as to facilitate the dyeing treatment on the glass 16;
[0035] In specific use: first, the glass 16 is inserted into the card slot 15 for limiting, then the microorganism on the glass 16 is dyed, when the dyeing agent is dropped, the water pump 9 is opened, the water pump 9 can suck distilled water into the branch pipeline 11 through the water inlet pipe 10, then the branch pipeline 11 is discharged into the spray head 13, then the spray head 13 can directly flush the glass 16, the connecting plate 7 can be moved back and forth during flushing, the connecting plate 7 drives the spray head 13 to move back and forth, so that the glass 16 can be flushed more comprehensively, and the waste water after flushing can be collected by the water tank 1; in order to realize the rapid flow of water stain on the glass 16, the support plate 4 is turned over to make it inclined to drive the glass 16 to incline, so that the water stain can flow down conveniently; after the dyeing is completed, the vertical plate 2 is taken out from the groove, so that the waste water in the water tank 1 can be taken out and poured out; in this dyeing process, the glass 16 does not need to be moved back and forth for flushing, so that the glass 16 can be flushed conveniently, and the burden of the operator is reduced.
