Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of test tube cleaning equipment, and in particular to a test tube cleaner for pharmaceutical testing. Background Technology

[0002] Pharmaceutical testing typically refers to a series of experiments conducted on new drugs or drug formulations during drug development to assess their safety and efficacy. Test tube cleaners used in pharmaceutical testing are devices or tools used to clean glassware such as test tubes, beakers, and graduated cylinders in the laboratory. The design and use of cleaners depend on the specific needs of the laboratory and the type of experiment being conducted.

[0003] In existing pharmaceutical testing tube cleaners, the inner brush is inserted into the test tube, the fixed handle is held, and the movable handle is pressed with four fingers. The movable handle swings clockwise, which in turn drives the ratchet wheel to rotate via the pawl. Releasing the movable handle causes it to swing counterclockwise under the action of the return spring. This causes the stop pawl to rotate the ratchet wheel counterclockwise, and the pawl slides across the back of the ratchet wheel's teeth. Therefore, when the movable handle is continuously pressed and released, the ratchet wheel rotates continuously in one direction. The ratchet wheel drives the sun gear to rotate, and the sun gear drives the planetary gears to rotate. The inner brush rotates and revolves around the sun gear to clean the inner wall of the test tube, while the outer brush cleans the outer wall. However, existing test tube cleaners for pharmaceutical testing require the inner and outer brushes to be strictly matched in size and hardness to the test tubes. But test tubes come in various sizes, and the corresponding brushes must be replaced when changing test tubes. Each time a test tube is changed, the old brush must be removed and a new brush of the corresponding size must be installed. This process is time-consuming, especially in batch cleaning scenarios, which will significantly slow down the efficiency of test preparation or completion.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new test tube cleaner for pharmaceutical testing to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a test tube cleaner for pharmaceutical testing.

[0006] The present invention provides a test tube cleaner for pharmaceutical testing, which includes an operating rod, and a cleaning device is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove opened at the bottom of the operating rod;

[0007] The cleaning device includes a drive motor, a sleeve, a drive ring, and several movable plates. The drive motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of a groove at the bottom of the operating rod, and a drive assembly is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The sleeve is fitted onto the end of the drive assembly away from the drive motor, and several fixed plates are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sleeve. The drive ring is threaded to the outer surface of a threaded rod, and a fixed ring is rotatably connected to the drive ring. A first hinge frame is hinged to the outer surface of the fixed ring through a fixed block. Two second hinge frames are hinged to the side walls of the several fixed plates. The bottoms of the several movable plates are all hinged to the first hinge frame and the two second hinge frames at the ends away from the fixed ring and the fixed plates.

[0008] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a drive component and a threaded rod. The drive component is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, and the output end of the drive component is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod. The end of the threaded rod away from the drive component is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, a cleaning brush is fixedly connected to one end of the movable plate away from the first hinge frame and the two second hinge frames.

[0012] Preferably, the outer surface of the operating lever is provided with an anti-slip sleeve.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, the test tube cleaner for pharmaceutical testing provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The cleaning device, when cleaning the test tubes is required, first activates the servo motor, which rotates clockwise. This rotation drives a threaded rod, which in turn rotates its own drive ring towards the sleeve. The drive ring then moves its own fixed ring towards the sleeve. Simultaneously, the fixed ring, via its fixed block, rotates the first hinge frame. This rotation causes the movable plate to expand outwards at its end away from the fixed block. This expansion also rotates two second hinge frames, supporting the inner wall of the test tubes through the movable plate and the cleaning brushes mounted on it. The drive motor then activates to clean the test tubes using the movable plate and cleaning brushes. This device significantly reduces the probability of slowing down test preparation or completion efficiency in batch cleaning scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a test tube cleaner for pharmaceutical testing provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the cross-sectional structure.

[0022] Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the cleaning device. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The diagram shows the exploded structure of the cleaning device.

[0023] In the specific implementation process, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, a cleaning device is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove at the bottom of the operating lever 1, and a switch button 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove on one side wall of the operating lever 1. An anti-slip sleeve is provided on the outer surface of the operating lever 1. The cleaning device includes a drive motor 2, a sleeve 3, a drive ring 4, and several movable plates 5. The drive motor 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove at the bottom of the operating lever 1, and a drive assembly is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 2. The sleeve 3 is sleeved on the end of the drive assembly away from the drive motor 2, and several fixed plates 6 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sleeve 3. The drive ring 4 is threaded to the outer surface of the threaded rod 10, and a fixed ring 7 is rotatably connected to the drive ring 4. A first hinge frame 8 is hinged to the outer surface of the fixed ring 7 through a fixed block. Two second hinge frames 9 are hinged to the side walls of several fixed plates 6. The bottoms of several movable plates 5 are all hinged to the first hinge frame 8 and the two second hinge frames 9 at the ends away from the fixed ring 7 and the fixed plates 6.

[0024] It should be noted that a cleaning brush 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable plate 5 away from the first hinge frame 8 and the two second hinge frames 9;

[0025] The drive assembly includes a drive component and a threaded rod 10. The drive component is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 2, and the output end of the drive component is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 10. The end of the threaded rod 10 away from the drive component is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 3.

[0026] It should be noted that the driving component is a servo motor 12, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 2, and the output end of the servo motor 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 10.

[0027] When cleaning the test tube, the servo motor 12 is started first. The servo motor 12 rotates clockwise, causing the threaded rod 10 to rotate. Simultaneously, the threaded rod 10 rotates its own drive ring 4, moving it closer to the sleeve 3. The drive ring 4 then moves its own fixed ring 7 towards the sleeve 3. As the fixed ring 7 moves, it drives the first hinge frame 8 to rotate via its fixed block. When the first hinge frame 8 rotates, it causes the movable plate 5 to expand outwards via its end away from the fixed block. Simultaneously, the movable plate 5 expands outwards, causing the two second hinge frames 9 to rotate. This, along with the movable plate 5 and the cleaning brush 11 on it, supports the inner wall of the test tube. Then, the drive motor 2 is started to clean the test tube using the movable plate 5 and the cleaning brush 11.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When cleaning the test tube, the servo motor 12 is started first. At this time, the servo motor 12 rotates clockwise, which drives the threaded rod 10 to rotate. While the threaded rod 10 is rotating, it drives the drive ring 4 on its own to rotate and move towards the sleeve 3. The drive ring 4 drives the fixed ring 7 on its own to move towards the sleeve 3. While the fixed ring 7 is moving, it drives the first hinge frame 8 to rotate through the fixed block on its own. When the first hinge frame 8 rotates, it drives the movable plate 5 to expand outward through the end away from the fixed block. While the movable plate 5 is expanding outward, it drives the two second hinge frames 9 to rotate. Thus, the inner wall of the test tube is supported by the movable plate 5 and the cleaning brush 11 on the movable plate 5. Then, the drive motor 2 is started to drive the movable plate 5 and the cleaning brush 11 to clean the test tube.

[0029] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
