Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cleaning technology, and specifically relates to a cleaning machine for gene detection equipment. Background Technology
[0002] A cleaning machine for gene testing equipment is a specialized device for the efficient and automated cleaning and disinfection of sample tubes, pipette tips, chip carriers, and related microfluidic components used in gene testing. It typically consists of a cleaning chamber, an ultrasonic cleaning module, a circulating spray system, a filtration tank, a waste collection unit, and an automatic drying device. Through multi-stage program control, it achieves multiple steps including pre-rinsing, deep cleaning, disinfection, and drying. This effectively removes residual samples and contaminants, prevents cross-contamination, ensures the accuracy of test results, improves laboratory sample turnover efficiency, and reduces the tediousness and risks of manual cleaning operations. It is widely applicable to gene testing laboratories in medical testing, scientific research, and biopharmaceutical fields.
[0003] Traditional cleaning devices often use a single-size electric cleaning brush, which cannot flexibly adapt to the diverse containers in gene detection equipment, such as measuring cups, test tubes, or miniature reaction cups containing samples of different sizes. Due to differences in diameter and structure, it is necessary to frequently change cleaning brush heads of different diameters or adjust the position of the brush handle, or drive a single cleaning brush to rotate around the inner wall of the container for cleaning. This results in problems such as limited contact area of the brush bristles, easy residue in dead corners of the inner wall, low cleaning efficiency, and high risk of cross-contamination. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a cleaning machine for gene detection equipment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a cleaning machine for gene detection equipment, including a handle and a motor, the motor being fixedly installed inside the handle; a support frame, the support frame being rotatably installed at the lower part of the handle, the output end of the motor extending through the handle to the outside and being inserted into the support frame; a rotating plate, the rotating plate being provided in multiples, the multiple rotating plates being rotatably installed outside the support frame by torsion springs; and a cleaning roller, the cleaning roller being rotatably installed on the side of the rotating plate away from the support frame; in use, the motor drives the support frame to revolve around the cleaning roller to perform a cleaning action, and the torsion force of the torsion springs makes the cleaning roller adhere to the inner wall of the culture dish.
[0006] In the above technical solution, the support frame further includes a mounting column, and a limiting ring is fixedly connected to the upper part of the mounting column. The limiting ring is rotatably installed inside the handle side.
[0007] In the above technical solution, a special-shaped frame is inserted into the mounting column and limited by the lower knob, and the rotating plate is rotatably mounted on the special-shaped frame.
[0008] In the above technical solution, a square slot is further provided in the middle of the irregular frame, and the motor output end passes through the handle and is inserted into the square slot.
[0009] In the above technical solution, the lower part of the handle is further provided with a transmission component. The transmission component includes a gear ring fixedly installed on the lower part of the handle, a first rotating wheel rotatably installed on the upper part of the rotating plate, a gear fixed on the upper part of the first rotating wheel meshing with the gear ring, and a second rotating wheel fixed on the upper part of the cleaning roller driving the first rotating wheel with a belt. In use, the motor drives the cleaning roller to revolve and drives the cleaning roller to rotate by itself through the transmission component to perform enhanced cleaning action.
[0010] In the above technical solution, the torsion spring torque performs a reset action. During use, the motor drives the cleaning roller to rotate, and the cleaning roller is driven by centrifugal force to adhere to the inner wall of the culture dish to perform a cleaning action. After cleaning, the torsion spring completes the reset of the rotating plate and even the cleaning roller.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: By fixing a motor inside the handle, the output end of the motor passes through the handle and extends to the outside to connect with the support frame, thereby realizing the drive control of the support frame. Multiple rotating plates connected to the support frame via torsion springs are rotatably installed on the lower part of the support frame. A cleaning roller is rotatably installed on the side of each rotating plate away from the support frame. When working, the motor starts and drives the support frame and the multiple rotating plates outside it to rotate synchronously, forming a revolution motion. While the cleaning roller rotates around the support frame under the drive of the rotating plates, it automatically adjusts the fit between the cleaning roller and the inner wall of containers such as petri dishes or sample measuring cups by relying on the torque provided by the torsion springs. This ensures that containers of different diameters or shapes can achieve adaptive expansion and contraction and tight fit of the cleaning roller, effectively increasing the contact area and thoroughly removing residues. Through the revolution and rotation of the cleaning roller, the inner wall of the container is rubbed and cleaned from multiple angles and directions, improving the cleaning coverage and cleanliness, and solving the problems of poor adaptability, many cleaning dead corners, low efficiency and risk of cross-contamination of traditional fixed brush heads.

[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] like Figures 1-4 The cleaning machine shown is for a gene detection device and includes a handle 1, a motor 7, which is fixedly installed inside the handle 1; a support frame 2, which is rotatably installed on the lower part of the handle 1, and the output end of the motor 7 extends through the handle 1 to the outside and is inserted into the support frame 2; a rotating plate 3, of which multiple rotating plates 3 are provided, and multiple rotating plates 3 are rotatably installed on the outside of the support frame 2 by torsion springs 4; and a cleaning roller 5, which is rotatably installed on the side of the rotating plate 3 away from the support frame 2. In use, the motor 7 drives the support frame 2 to revolve and clean the cleaning roller 5, and the torque of the torsion spring 4 makes the cleaning roller 5 adhere to the inner wall of the culture dish.
[0021] A cleaning machine for gene detection equipment, by fixing a motor 7 inside the handle 1, and using the output end of the motor 7 to pass through the handle 1 and extend to the outside to connect with the support frame 2, the drive control of the support frame 2 is realized. Multiple rotating plates 3 connected to the support frame 2 by torsion springs 4 are rotatably installed on the lower part of the support frame 2. Each rotating plate 3 has a cleaning roller 5 rotatably installed on the side away from the support frame 2.
[0022] During operation, the motor 7 starts and drives the support frame 2 and its multiple external rotating plates 3 to rotate synchronously, forming a revolution motion. While the cleaning roller 5 rotates around the support frame 2 under the drive of the rotating plates 3, it automatically adjusts the fit between the cleaning roller 5 and the inner wall of the container such as the petri dish or sample measuring cup by the torque provided by the torsion spring 4. This ensures that the cleaning roller 5 can adaptively expand and contract and press against containers of different diameters or shapes, effectively increasing the contact area and thoroughly removing residues.
[0023] In this embodiment, the support frame 2 includes a mounting column 201. A limiting ring 204 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the mounting column 201. The limiting ring 204 is rotatably installed inside one side of the handle 1. A shaped frame 202 is inserted into the mounting column 201 and limited by the lower knob. A rotating plate 3 is rotatably installed on the shaped frame 202. A square groove 203 is opened in the middle of the shaped frame 202. The output end of the motor 7 passes through the handle 1 and is inserted into the square groove 203.
[0024] The support frame 2 cooperates with the mounting column 201, the limiting ring 204, and the irregular frame 202. The limiting ring 204, which is fixedly connected to the upper part of the mounting column 201, can be rotatably installed inside the handle 1, which plays a role in limiting and stabilizing the mounting column 201. The irregular frame 202 is inserted into the mounting column 201 and is limited and fixed by the lower knob, ensuring that the position of the irregular frame 202 is adjustable and stable during use. The rotating plate 3 is rotatably installed outside the irregular frame 202. The output end of the motor 7 passes through the handle 1 and is inserted into the square groove 203 opened in the middle of the irregular frame 202, so that the torque of the motor 7 is directly transmitted to the irregular frame 202 and the rotating plate 3, driving the rotating plate 3 to drive the cleaning roller 5 to revolve and rotate, thereby efficiently cleaning the inner wall of the container in multiple directions.
[0025] Furthermore, users can replace the irregular frame 202 by rotating the knob to further match gene detection equipment of different diameters.
[0026] In this embodiment, a transmission assembly 6 is also provided at the lower part of the handle 1. The transmission assembly 6 includes a gear ring 601 fixedly installed at the lower part of the handle 1, a first rotating wheel 603 rotatably installed on the upper part of the rotating plate 3, a gear 602 fixed on the upper part of the first rotating wheel 603 meshing with the gear ring 601, and a second rotating wheel 604 fixed on the upper part of the cleaning roller 5 driving the first rotating wheel 603 with a belt. In use, the motor 7 drives the cleaning roller 5 to revolve, and drives the cleaning roller 5 to rotate by itself through the transmission assembly 6 to perform a stronger cleaning action. The torsion spring 4 performs a reset action with torque. In use, the motor 7 drives the cleaning roller 5 to rotate, and the cleaning roller 5 is driven by centrifugal force to adhere to the inner wall of the petri dish to perform a cleaning action. After cleaning, the torsion spring 4 completes the reset of the rotating plate 3 and even the cleaning roller 5.
[0027] A transmission assembly 6 is provided at the lower part of the handle 1 to realize the dual drive of the self-rotation and revolution of the cleaning roller 5. The transmission assembly 6 includes a gear ring 601 fixedly installed at the lower part of the handle 1. The gear ring 601 meshes with the first rotating wheel 603 rotatably installed on the upper part of the rotating plate 3. When the motor 7 drives the rotating plate 3 to revolve through the drive support frame 2, the gear ring 601 drives the first rotating wheel 603 to rotate accordingly. The gear 602 on the upper part of the first rotating wheel 603 meshes with the gear ring 601 to realize torque transmission. At the same time, the second rotating wheel 604 fixed on the upper part of the cleaning roller 5 is connected to the first rotating wheel 603 through belt drive, which drives the cleaning roller 5 to achieve self-rotation while revolving, thereby performing bidirectional superimposed high-efficiency cleaning of the inner wall of the container.
[0028] Furthermore, the torsion spring 4 provides stable torque to ensure that the cleaning roller 5 always adheres to the inner wall of the container. It further utilizes centrifugal force to enhance the tight contact between the cleaning roller 5 and the inner wall of the petri dish or measuring cup, effectively removing attached substances and residues. After use, the torsion spring 4 automatically drives the rotating plate 3 and the cleaning roller 5 back to their initial state through the rebound reset action, avoiding misalignment or jamming during repeated operations, ensuring the smoothness and efficiency of the next cleaning action, and greatly improving the adaptability and ease of operation of the equipment when cleaning containers of various sizes.
[0029] Working principle: A motor 7 is fixedly installed inside the handle 1. The output end of the motor 7 passes through the handle 1 and extends to the outside to connect with the support frame 2, thereby driving and controlling the support frame 2. Multiple rotating plates 3 connected to the support frame 2 via torsion springs 4 are rotatably installed on the lower part of the support frame 2. A cleaning roller 5 is rotatably installed on the side of each rotating plate 3 away from the support frame 2. During operation, the motor 7 starts and drives the support frame 2 and the multiple rotating plates 3 outside to rotate synchronously, forming a revolution. While the cleaning roller 5 rotates around the support frame 2 under the drive of the rotating plates 3, it automatically adjusts the fit between the cleaning roller 5 and the inner wall of containers such as petri dishes or sample measuring cups by relying on the torque provided by the torsion springs 4. This ensures that containers of different diameters or shapes can achieve adaptive expansion and contraction and tight fit of the cleaning roller 5, effectively increasing the contact area and thoroughly removing residues. The revolution and rotation of the cleaning roller 5 work together to perform multi-angle and multi-directional friction cleaning on the inner wall of the container.
