[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] Example:

[0023] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model provides an auxiliary cleaning device for an immunohistochemistry instrument, including a placement box 11 and reaction slides 36. The placement box 11 serves as the basic carrier of the entire device, supporting and accommodating other components. A waste liquid tank 12 is snapped onto the placement box 11, and its internal filter plate 33 effectively filters the waste liquid generated during the cleaning process, separating impurities to facilitate subsequent waste liquid treatment and prevent pipe blockage or environmental pollution. A storage tank 13 is also installed on the placement box 11 to store the cleaning solution required for cleaning, providing a sufficient liquid source for the cleaning work. The connecting circular plate 14 is securely mounted on the placement box 11. It serves not only as the mounting carrier for the heating tube 15, but also as the mounting point for the heating tube 15. The operation of the heating tube 15 can be controlled by the controller 18, which can be a SYS7192VE controller, to heat the cleaning solution and improve the cleaning effect. Simultaneously, the connecting circular plate 14 forms a detachable connection with the transparent lid 17. The transparent lid 17 covers the connecting circular plate 14, effectively preventing liquid splashing during cleaning and ensuring a safe and clean operating environment. Multiple sets of anti-detachment holes on the connecting circular plate 14, along with fixing bolts, ensure the stability of the transparent lid 17 installation and prevent it from accidentally falling off during device operation.

[0024] A supporting circular plate 16 is mounted on a connecting circular plate 14, and multiple sets of clamping assemblies are installed on it for fixing the reaction carriers 36. The clamping assemblies include a lower clamping block 29 and an upper clamping block 31. One end of the lower clamping block 29 is snapped onto the supporting circular plate 16, and the upper clamping block 31 is located above the lower clamping block 29. Multiple sets of screw rods 32 pass through the lower clamping block 29, and the upper clamping block 31 is sleeved on these screw rods 32. By rotating the screw rods 32, the distance between the upper clamping block 31 and the lower clamping block 29 can be adjusted, thereby firmly clamping the multiple sets of reaction carriers 36 between them, ensuring that the reaction carriers 36 will not shift or fall off during the cleaning process.

[0025] The transmission assembly is mounted on the supporting circular plate 16 and includes a transmission shaft 19 located above the supporting circular plate 16. A transmission carrier plate 21 is sleeved on the transmission shaft 19. One end of the transmission shaft 19 passes through a threaded cylinder 22, which is fixed to the supporting circular plate 16. A motor 23 is mounted above the transmission carrier plate 21. The shaft end of the motor 23 is directly connected to the transmission shaft 19, and the motor 23 is electrically connected to a controller 18. The controller 18 can control the start, stop, and speed parameters of the motor 23. When the motor 23 is running, it drives the transmission shaft 19 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission carrier plate 21 to move up and down. A limiting post 35 provided on the threaded cylinder 22 passes through the transmission carrier plate 21. On the one hand, it restricts the movement of the transmission carrier plate 21, allowing it to move up and down only along the transmission shaft 19. On the other hand, the limiting post 35 is detachably connected to the threaded cylinder 22, facilitating disassembly operations during equipment maintenance or component replacement.

[0026] The cleaning components are mainly mounted on the storage tank 13 and the transmission carrier plate 21. A water pump 24 is installed inside the storage tank 13. The water pump 24 is electrically connected to a controller 18, which controls the start and stop of the water pump 24 to extract and transport the cleaning solution. Multiple sets of clamping plates 25 are mounted on the transmission carrier plate 21. Each set of clamping plates 25 has a dispensing plate 26 clamped on it. Dispensing pipes 27 pass through each of the dispensing plates 26, and multiple sets of cleaning nozzles 28 are clamped on the dispensing pipes 27. The water pump 24 is connected to the dispensing pipes 27 via water pipes. When the water pump 24 starts, it extracts the cleaning solution from the storage tank 13, transports it through the water pipes to the dispensing pipes 27, and then sprays the cleaning solution evenly onto the reaction carrier plate 36 through the cleaning nozzles 28, thus cleaning the reaction carrier plate 36.

[0027] Multiple suction cups 34 located at the bottom of the placement box 11 allow the device to be firmly attached to the operating table, preventing the cleaning effect from being affected by shaking of the device during the cleaning process. Through the connection and coordinated work of the various components, the entire device achieves efficient and convenient cleaning of the immunohistochemistry instrument reaction slides 36.

[0028] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, when using this device, the placement box 11 serves as the basic supporting structure for the entire device, providing installation positions for other components and stabilizing the entire device. Multiple suction cups 34 at its bottom firmly adhere to the work platform, preventing displacement during operation. The waste liquid tank 12 is mounted on the placement box 11 to collect waste liquid generated during the cleaning process. The filter plate 33 inside the waste liquid tank 12 filters impurities from the waste liquid, preventing them from affecting subsequent processing and extending the service life of the waste liquid tank 12. The storage tank 13 is also mounted on the placement box 11 and stores the cleaning solution used to clean the reaction slides 36.

[0029] The cleaning assembly is a key component for achieving the cleaning function. Its core component, the water pump 24, is located inside the storage tank 13 and is electrically connected to the controller 18. It can control the delivery of the cleaning solution according to the instructions of the controller 18. The water pump 24 is connected to the multi-component liquid distribution pipe 27 through a water pipe, pressurizing and delivering the cleaning solution in the storage tank 13 to the distribution pipe 27. Multiple sets of clamping plates 25 are provided on the transmission carrier plate 21 to hold the distributing washing plate 26. The distributing washing plate 26 can further distribute and guide the cleaning solution delivered from the distribution pipe 27. The multi-component washing plate 26 is equipped with the distribution pipe 27. Multiple sets of cleaning nozzles 28 are clamped on the distributing pipe 27, which can evenly spray the cleaning solution onto the reaction carrier 36, achieving comprehensive cleaning of the reaction carrier 36. The connecting circular plate 14 is installed on the placement box 11 and supports important components such as the heating tube 15, the supporting circular plate 16, and the transparent cover 17. The heating tube 15 is mounted on the connecting circular plate 14 and electrically connected to the controller 18, which can perform drying and high-temperature sterilization on the cleaned reaction slide 36.

[0030] A supporting circular plate 16 is mounted on a connecting circular plate 14, and a clamping assembly on it is used to fix the reaction slides 36. The clamping assembly includes a lower clamping block 29 and an upper clamping block 31. One end of the lower clamping block 29 is clamped onto the supporting circular plate 16, and the upper clamping block 31 is positioned above it, with multiple sets of reaction slides 36 placed between them. Multiple sets of screw rods 32 are inserted through the lower clamping block 29, and the upper clamping block 31 is sleeved on the screw rods 32. By rotating the screw rods 32, the distance between the upper clamping block 31 and the lower clamping block 29 can be adjusted, thereby firmly clamping the reaction slides 36 of different thicknesses. The transparent cover 17 is detachably connected to the connecting circular plate 14, facilitating the operation of the reaction slides 36 before and after cleaning. Multiple sets of anti-detachment holes on the connecting circular plate 14, used in conjunction with fixing bolts, ensure that the transparent cover 17 remains stable during device operation and prevents it from falling off. The controller 18 is located on one side of the placement box 11 and serves as the control center of the entire device. It is electrically connected to various components to control components such as the water pump 24 and the heating tube 15, thereby coordinating the work of each component and completing the automated cleaning process of the reaction carrier 36.

[0031] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0032] The user first places the reaction slide 36 on the lower clamping block 29, and then clamps the reaction slide 36 with the upper clamping block 31 by rotating the screw rod 32. Then, the controller 18 starts the motor 23, water pump 24, and heating tube 15. The motor 23 drives the transmission plate 21 to move, the water pump 24 draws cleaning fluid and sprays it out through the nozzle 28 for cleaning, and the heating tube 15 dries and sterilizes the cleaned reaction slide. The waste liquid generated during cleaning is collected and filtered through the waste liquid tank 12. The entire process achieves efficient and convenient cleaning of the immunohistochemistry instrument's reaction slide 36.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments.
