[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0036] See Figures 1 to 4 The tumor tissue cleaning device provided in this embodiment includes a support 100, a cleaning component 200, and a filter component 300.

[0037] The support 100 has a supporting portion. The cleaning component 200 is located on the supporting portion and includes a cleaning container 210 and a cap 220. The cleaning container 210 has a cleaning space, with a dispensing port connected to the top of the cleaning space. The bottom of the cleaning container 210 has a liquid outlet, and the cap 220 is adapted to the dispensing port. The filter component 300 is located in the cleaning space and below the dispensing port.

[0038] Specifically, in use, the tumor tissue cleaning device is first installed by placing the support on a flat structure such as a table or workbench, and then placing the cleaning component 200 on the support of the bracket 100 to fix the cleaning component 200 stably on the support, thereby realizing the installation of the tumor tissue cleaning device.

[0039] When cleaning tumor tissue blocks, first remove the cap 220 at the inlet, then place the tumor tissue block into the cleaning container 210 through the inlet. The tumor tissue block enters the cleaning space and remains on the filter element 300. Then, tissue cleaning solution is introduced through the inlet to immerse the tumor tissue block. The waste liquid after washing flows downward under gravity, passes through the filter element 300, and is discharged outside the cleaning container 210 through the outlet. The tumor tissue block remains on the filter element 300, thus achieving the cleaning of the tumor tissue block.

[0040] The tumor tissue cleaning device provided in this embodiment is small in size, easy to move and place, and does not require centrifugation during cleaning. Solid-liquid separation is achieved through the filter element 300, making cleaning convenient and efficient.

[0041] In this embodiment, the tumor tissue cleaning device further includes a flow guiding assembly 400. The flow guiding assembly 400 includes a liquid guiding pipe 410 and a switching valve 420. One end of the liquid guiding pipe 410 is connected to the liquid outlet, and the switching valve 420 is disposed on the liquid guiding pipe 410.

[0042] After the liquid guide pipe 410 is connected to the liquid outlet, it enables directional flow of the waste liquid, reducing the contact between operators and the waste liquid, thereby ensuring safety. In this embodiment, the switch valve 420 is specifically a flow rate regulation control switch, which is clamped on the liquid guide pipe 410 to realize the discharge control and flow rate control of the waste liquid.

[0043] In this embodiment, the tumor tissue cleaning device further includes a liquid collection component 500. The liquid collection component 500 is connected to the other end of the liquid guide tube 410.

[0044] The liquid collecting device 500 is directly connected to the end of the liquid guiding pipe 410, forming a closed path for waste liquid discharge and avoiding pollution caused by waste liquid discharge.

[0045] Among them, the liquid collection unit 500 can be a large-capacity container to collect and store waste liquid from multiple cleaning processes.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the liquid collection device 500 is a collection bag. The opening of the collection bag is connected to the liquid guide tube 410.

[0047] In this embodiment, the collection bag is specifically a medical waste liquid bag. Since there are many microorganisms and bacteria in the waste liquid after immersion, the waste liquid can be directly discharged into the medical waste liquid bag through the liquid guide tube 410. After the waste liquid bag is full, it can be directly sealed for disposal, which further ensures safety and avoids waste liquid pollution.

[0048] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 , Figure 3 In this embodiment, the bracket 100 includes a base 110, a support frame 120, and a carrier 130.

[0049] One end of the support frame 120 is connected to the base 110 and is mounted on the base 110. The bearing member 130 is located at the other end of the support frame 120, and the bearing part is located on the bearing member 130.

[0050] In this embodiment, the base 110 and the support frame 120 are connected to form a support structure to provide stable support for the carrier 130. The carrier part is set on the carrier 130, leaving a certain distance between the carrier part and the base 110. After the cleaning part 200 is set on the carrier part, there is space at the bottom of the cleaning part 200 to place the flow guiding component 400 so as to guide the waste liquid.

[0051] The support frame 120 can adopt a telescopic structure to achieve height adjustment of the bearing component 130, thereby improving the applicability of the tumor tissue cleaning device.

[0052] In this embodiment, the base 110 is a flat plate structure. The support frame 120 is located at the midpoint of one side of the flat plate structure. The bearing member 130 is located on the support frame 120 and extends in the same direction as the base 110.

[0053] The support frame 120 is located at the midpoint of one side of the base 110. The areas of the base 110 on both sides of the support frame 120 are symmetrical. In this embodiment, the bearing member 130 is located on the same side of the base 110, and the length of the bearing member 130 is approximately half the length of the base 110. With this structure, the bearing part is positioned close to the straight line where the center of the base 110 is located. After the cleaning member 200 is placed on the bearing part, the overall center of gravity of the bracket 100 will not shift too much, thereby ensuring the stability of the bracket 100.

[0054] In this embodiment, the cleaning container 210 is a cleaning bottle. The bottom of the cleaning bottle has a tapered structure. The supporting part is an insertion hole 131, in which the cleaning bottle is detachably inserted.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cleaning bottle can be inserted into the socket 131, and the top of the cleaning bottle has a protrusion with a large outer diameter. The protrusion cannot protrude from the socket 131, so that the cleaning bottle can be inserted and fixed in the socket 131. In this embodiment, the cleaning bottle is installed in the socket 131 by insertion, thereby realizing the installation of the cleaning bottle. The cleaning bottle is inserted into the socket 131, which is very convenient for disassembly and installation. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0056] As an alternative approach, the cleaning bottle can also be a conical bottle with an outer diameter that gradually decreases from the top to the bottom. This structure facilitates the insertion of the conical bottle into the insertion hole 131.

[0057] In this embodiment, a secondary hole 132 is provided on one side of the insertion hole 131. One end of the secondary hole 132 is connected to the insertion hole 131, and the other end is located at the edge of the support member 130 and has an open structure.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the secondary hole 132 is provided on one side of the insertion hole 131 and one end is connected to the insertion hole 131. The secondary hole 132 extends horizontally and penetrates the support member 130 vertically. The other end of the secondary hole 132 is open at the edge of the support member 130. Under this structure, the insertion hole 131 is connected to the outside of the support member 130 through the secondary hole 132.

[0059] In this embodiment, one end of the liquid guide tube 410 is fixedly connected to the liquid outlet. When the cleaning component 200 is inserted into the insertion hole 131, the cleaning component 200 can be moved from the open end of the secondary hole 132 towards the insertion hole 131, allowing the liquid guide tube 410 to enter the insertion hole 131 through the secondary hole 132. Then, the cleaning bottle is inserted into the insertion hole 131. The secondary hole 132 can accommodate the liquid guide tube 410, preventing the liquid guide tube 410 from being unable to move directly into the insertion hole 131 horizontally during the insertion of the cleaning bottle into the insertion hole 131.

[0060] In this embodiment, the mouth of the cleaning bottle is the dispensing port. The cap 220 is threaded into the bottle mouth.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cleaning bottle has a transparent body made of medical-grade plastic. The cleaning bottle is connected to the cap 220 via a threaded connection, and the cap 220 can be tightened to connect to the bottle opening before and after use. This prevents the cleaning bottle from being contaminated before use or from being splashed by residual waste liquid after cleaning.

[0062] Furthermore, during the cleaning process, the cap 220 can be tightened to ensure a tight connection between the cap 220 and the bottle opening. Then, the bottle can be held and shaken to vibrate the bottle, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect on the tumor tissue block.

[0063] In this embodiment, the filter element 300 is a filter membrane.

[0064] The small pore design of the filter membrane can completely trap tumor tissue blocks, preventing them from being lost with the waste liquid during the washing process.

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pore size of the filter membrane is less than 0.5 mm. At this size, microorganisms (such as bacteria with a diameter of 1-5 μm) or cell debris mixed in the tumor tissue can pass through the filter membrane and be discharged with the waste liquid, while tumor tissue blocks will be retained due to their larger size (mostly millimeter or centimeter scale), thereby achieving selective filtration, reducing the risk of contamination and residue, and improving the culture purity of TIL.

[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
