Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tissue culture explants, and specifically to a tissue culture explant cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Tissue culture explants refer to the tissues or organs excised from a living plant for culture during plant tissue culture. Explants can be plant shoot tips, stem segments, leaves, roots, cotyledons, bulbs, ovules, and anthers, etc. Selecting suitable explants is crucial for the success of plant tissue culture, as the quality of the explants directly affects the success rate, culture cycle, and quality of the cultured plants. Before cultivating tissue culture explants, a cleaning process is required. The cleaning of explants involves multiple steps: first, rinsing the surface with clean water; then, rinsing the explants with 70% alcohol for 3-5 minutes; and finally, rinsing the explants again with sterile water, taking approximately 0.5-1 hour. However, common cleaning devices are not convenient for performing multiple cleaning steps and waste a lot of time. Therefore, this application proposes a tissue culture explant cleaning device. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the tissue culture explant cleaning device, this utility model is proposed.

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a tissue culture explant cleaning device, which solves the problems that common cleaning devices are not convenient for multiple cleaning steps and waste a lot of time cleaning explants.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tissue culture explant cleaning device, comprising a base and a storage box. Three fixing rings are evenly and fixedly installed on the top of the base, and the storage box is placed inside one of the fixing rings. Support plates are fixedly installed at both ends of the top of the base. A liftable lifting plate is also provided between the top ends of the two support plates. Three injection tubes are evenly and throughly inserted on the lifting plate. The bottom ends of the three injection tubes are respectively located directly above the center of the three fixing rings. A cap is threaded onto the top of the storage box. A water inlet pipe is through and fixedly inserted into the top of the cap. A nozzle is fixedly installed at the end of the water inlet pipe located inside the cap. The bottom end of the injection tube can be inserted into the opening at the top of the water inlet pipe.

[0006] Preferably, the three injection tubes are located in the clean water injection tube, the alcohol injection tube, and the sterile water injection tube, respectively.

[0007] Preferably, a horizontal fixing plate is fixedly installed inside the water inlet pipe, and a top rod is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing plate. An inner tube is fixedly installed inside the bottom end of each injection pipe. The bottom end of the inner tube is sealed to the inner wall of the bottom end of the injection pipe. Several water inlet holes are evenly opened on the side wall of the lower half of the inner tube. A sealing plug is movably inserted into the lower half of the inner tube. A spring is fixedly connected between the top end of the sealing plug and the top end of the inner tube.

[0008] Preferably, the top end of the push rod is flush with the top end of the water inlet pipe. When the bottom end of the injection pipe is inserted into the top end of the water inlet pipe, the top end of the push rod is inserted into the inner pipe and pushes the sealing plug to move upward in the inner pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the storage box is provided with multiple drainage holes evenly distributed, a water trough is provided on the left side of the base, and three openings are provided on the top of the inner wall of the water trough. The three openings are respectively connected to three fixing rings, and the diameter of the openings is smaller than the diameter of the fixing rings. The bottom of the water trough is set as a slope.

[0010] Preferably, the top of both support plates is provided with a notch, and a hydraulic rod is fixedly installed in each of the two notches. The telescopic ends of the two hydraulic rods are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends of the lifting plate.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting ring is fixedly installed on the upper part of the outer wall of the storage box, and the bottom end of the cover abuts against the top of the limiting ring.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0013] During cleaning, first place the explant into the storage box and unscrew the cap. Then, place the storage box into the fixing ring below the water injection tube. Next, control the lifting plate to move down so that the bottom end of the water injection tube is inserted into the water inlet pipe on the cap. During the insertion process, the push rod will push the sealing plug in the inner tube upward, thereby opening several water outlet holes on the side wall of the inner tube. In this way, the water in the water injection tube can be sprayed into the storage box through the water inlet pipe and the nozzle, thus completing the cleaning of the explant. By using the water injection tube, alcohol injection tube and sterile water injection tube in sequence in this way, the explant in the storage box can be cleaned in different steps.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The tissue culture explant cleaning device shown includes a base 1 and a storage box 5. Three fixing rings 2 are evenly and fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The storage box 5 is placed inside one of the fixing rings 2. Support plates 12 are fixedly installed at both ends of the top of the base 1. A liftable lifting plate 13 is also provided between the top ends of the two support plates 12. Three injection tubes are evenly and through the lifting plate 13. The bottom ends of the three injection tubes are respectively located directly above the center of the three fixing rings 2.
