Detailed Implementation
[0022] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Specific implementation examples are given below.
[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a cleaning basket for instruments includes a basket body 1; a bottom frame 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the basket body 1; multiple sets of first top blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the top of the bottom frame 12, and the multiple sets of first top blocks 13 are semi-circular; multiple sets of discharge holes 14 are opened in the middle of the bottom frame 12, and the multiple sets of discharge holes 14 are located near the first top blocks 13; two sets of mounting brackets 15 are fixedly connected to the middle of the basket body 1; elastic elements 16 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting brackets 15; a sliding rod 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the elastic element 16, and the sliding rod 17 slides on the inner wall of the mounting bracket 15. The sliding rod 17 is equipped with a support rod 18 at its end; a second top block 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod 18, and the second top block 19 is semi-circular; a tray 110 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod 17, and the inner wall of the tray 110 is arc-shaped; during operation, the instruments to be cleaned can be placed inside the basket body 1, and positioned on top of the bottom frame 12, so that the multiple first top blocks 13 on the bottom frame 12 can support the lowest instrument. Subsequently, the basket body 1 can be placed on the conveyor belt of the cleaning machine, and high-pressure water generated by the cleaning machine can be used. The water flows through the basket body 1 and processes the equipment inside, allowing wastewater and impurities to be transferred to the outside through multiple discharge holes 14. When the basket body 1 is placed, some of the water from the high-pressure nozzles can contact the top of the tray 110, and the resulting thrust causes the slide bar 17 to move downwards, compressing the elastic element 16 and deforming it. At the same time, the support rod 18 can also move downwards, and the arc surface of the second top block 19 can contact the equipment inside the basket body 1 before the slide bar 17 descends to its lowest point and the water flow separates from the tray 110, and the elastic element... Under the action of the reverse force 16, the slide bar 17 can be reset as a whole, and the plane position of the second top block 19 can agitate the placed instruments and adjust the position of some instruments. Under the action of the protruding first top block 13, this step can avoid the instrument surface from directly contacting the bottom of the basket frame during the instrument cleaning process, so that some impurities and liquids are difficult to be effectively discharged, resulting in residual dirt after cleaning. Under the action of the up and down movement of the second top block 19, the position of some instruments placed in the basket frame body 1 can be adjusted to achieve the effect of cleaning multiple areas of instruments.
[0025] like Figure 1-5As shown, the support rod 18 is slidably disposed in the middle of the slide rod 17; multiple sets of slots 2 are provided in the middle of the support rod 18; a movable groove 21 is provided in the middle of the slide rod 17; a spring rod 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 21; a support plate 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the spring rod 22, and the support plate 23 is slidably disposed in the inner wall of the movable groove 21; two sets of locking pins 24 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the support plate 23, and the locking pins 24 are shaped to match the inner wall of the slot 2; during operation, by sliding the support rod 18, the operator can pull down the support plate 23 as a whole when adjusting the working position of the second top block 19, so that the support plate 23 can squeeze the output end of the spring rod 22 to retract when sliding, until the two sets of locking pins 24 engage with the slot 2. Once disengaged, the support rod 18 can be pulled and slid in the middle of the slide rod 17 to adjust its position. After this, the support for the support plate 23 is released, and the output end of the spring rod 22 loses its support. Then, the two sets of locking pins 24 can be re-engaged into the inner wall of the slot 2 to complete the overall fixation of the support rod 18. This step, with the sliding support rod 18, can improve the flexibility of the second top block 19 during subsequent operation and allow for the handling of more areas. At the same time, the support rod 18 can be disassembled for subsequent maintenance. The spring rod 22 ensures that the support plate 23 is only subjected to vertical force, reducing subsequent wear on the support plate 23 and mitigating the occurrence of jamming.
[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an inner groove 3 is provided in the middle of the second top block 19; two sets of magnetic balls 31 are provided on the inner wall of the inner groove 3, and the two sets of magnetic balls 31 are arranged in a repulsive manner; during operation, the inner groove 3 is provided on the inner wall of the second top block 19, and while the second top block 19 moves up and down, the two sets of magnetic balls 31 can approach each other and generate a corresponding repulsive force when they approach each other, causing the designated magnetic balls 31 to hit the inner wall of the inner groove 3. This process is repeated, which can remove some water stains from the second top block 19 and nearby instruments. This step, under the action of the magnetic balls 31 hitting the inner wall of the inner groove 3, can improve the cleaning speed of the second top block 19 and some instruments, and improve the accuracy of cleaning the instruments.
[0027] like Figure 1-5As shown, a shielding strip 4 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the locking pin 24; two sets of counterweights 41 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the shielding strip 4; during operation, by setting the shielding strip 4 at the end of the locking pin 24, and under the action of the downward gravity of the counterweights 41, the shielding strip 4 can be straightened in its entire length, and some water stains near the spring rod 22 can be blocked by the unfolded shielding strip 4. At the same time, when pulling down the spring rod 22, the two sets of shielding strips 4 can be held in hand first, and the counterweights 41 can be used to limit the hand. This step, together with the unfolded shielding strip 4, can block some water stains, reducing the problem of frequent subsequent handling near the spring rod 22, and can improve the stability of pulling the locking pin 24 down during the holding process.
[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a protective pad 5 is fixed to the outer wall of the second top block 19, and the protective pad 5 is located on the arc surface of the second top block 19. During operation, the protective pad 5 is provided on the outer wall of the second top block 19. When the second top block 19 is in use, the unfolded protective pad 5 can first come into contact with the instrument. The protective pad 5 can also be torn off later. This step can reduce the direct contact between the second top block 19 and the instrument during use, thus reducing the problem of wear between the two. Moreover, tearing it off facilitates subsequent replacement and maintenance.
[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the bottom of the bottom frame 12 is fixed with multiple sets of support blocks 6. During operation, by setting multiple support blocks 6 at the bottom of the bottom frame 12, when the basket frame body 1 is placed on the conveyor belt of the cleaning machine, the multiple support blocks 6 can suspend the basket frame body 1 as a whole. This step, under the action of the support blocks 6, can improve the stability of the basket frame body 1 placed on the cleaning machine, and after being suspended, it is convenient to drain the water.
[0030] Working principle: The instruments to be cleaned are placed inside the basket body 1, on top of the bottom frame 12. Multiple first top blocks 13 on the bottom frame 12 support the lowest-end instruments. The basket body 1 can then be placed on the conveyor belt of the cleaning machine. The high-pressure water flow generated by the cleaner processes the instruments inside the basket body 1, allowing wastewater and impurities to be discharged to the outside through multiple discharge holes 14. When the basket body 1 is placed, some of the water from the high-pressure nozzles contacts the top of the tray 110, generating a thrust that causes the sliding rod 17 to move downwards, deforming the elastic element 16. Simultaneously, the support rod 18 also moves downwards. The second top block 19's arc surface can contact the equipment inside the basket body 1 before the slide bar 17 descends to its lowest point and the water flow separates from the tray 110. Under the action of the elastic element 16's reverse force, the slide bar 17 can be reset to its original position. The plane position of the second top block 19 can agitate the placed equipment and adjust the position of some equipment. By sliding the support rod 18, the working position of the second top block 19 can be adjusted later. At this time, the operator can pull down the tray 23 as a whole, so that the tray 23 can squeeze the output end of the spring rod 22 to retract when sliding, until the two sets of locking pins 24 disengage from the slot 2. Then the support rod can be pulled. 18. Slide the slide rod 17 in the middle to adjust the position of the support rod 18. After that, release the support on the support plate 23 so that the output end of the spring rod 22 loses support. Then, the two sets of locking pins 24 can be locked into the inner wall of the slot 2 to complete the overall fixation of the support rod 18. The inner wall of the second top block 19 has an inner groove 3. When the second top block 19 moves up and down, the two sets of magnetic balls 31 can approach each other and generate a corresponding repulsive force when they approach each other. This causes the designated magnetic balls 31 to hit the inner wall of the inner groove 3. By repeating this process, some water stains on the second top block 19 and the nearby instruments can be removed. The locking pin 24 has a blocking strip 4 at its end, which blocks the water stains. Under the downward force of the counterweight 41, the baffle 4 can be straightened. When some water stains are near the spring rod 22, they can be blocked by the unfolded baffle 4. At the same time, when pulling down the spring rod 22, you can hold the two sets of baffles 4 and use the counterweight 41 to limit the hand. The second top block 19 is provided with a protective pad 5 on its outer wall. When the second top block 19 is in use, the unfolded protective pad 5 can first contact the equipment and can be torn off later. The bottom frame 12 is provided with multiple support blocks 6. When the basket frame body 1 is placed on the conveyor belt of the washing machine, the multiple support blocks 6 can suspend the entire basket frame body 1.
