[0024] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be further set forth in the description which follows in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and in part will be obvious from the description or may be learned by practice of the invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a disinfection device for leaves in plant tissue includes a disinfection cup 1, a placement component 5 for positioning and holding the leaves inside the cup 1, a lid 2 pluggably mounted on the top of the cup 1, a stirring component 3 for eccentrically agitating the placement component 5 at the center of the lid 2, a driving component 4 for eccentrically rotating the stirring component 3 at the top of the stirring component 3, and a support component 6 for providing stable support to the bottom of the cup 1. The disinfection cup 1 is fixed to a workbench by the support component 6. In use, disinfectant is poured into the cup 1, then the leaves are placed inside the placement component 5, and the lid 2 is closed. The cup lid 2 extends the placement component 5 into the sterilization cup 1 via the stirring component 3, immersing the blades in the disinfectant. At this time, the driving component 4 controls the eccentric rotation of the stirring component 3, causing the stirring component 3 to drive the blades in the placement component 5 to eccentrically stir in the disinfectant, making the blades more fully contacted with the disinfectant and ensuring the disinfection effect of the disinfectant on the blades. After disinfection, the cup lid 2 is opened and the blades are lifted out through the placement component 5 without the need to clamp the blades. Then, the disinfectant is poured out and sterile water is poured in. At this time, the above stirring process can make the blades fully contact with the sterile water, washing off the disinfectant on the blades and improving the cleaning effect of the sterile water on the blades.

[0026] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the stirring assembly 3 includes a hinge seat 31 fixed at the center of the cup lid 2. A hinge ball 32 is rotatably mounted at the center of the hinge seat 31. An inclined swing shaft 33 passes through the hinge ball 32. A rotating groove 7 for mounting the hinge ball 32 is opened at the center of the hinge seat 31. The blade is placed inside the placement assembly 5, and then the cup lid 2 is placed on the sterilization cup 1. At this time, the swing shaft 33 sinks the blade into the sterilization cup 1 through the placement assembly 5 at its bottom, so that the blade is immersed in the disinfectant in the sterilization cup 1. Then, the drive assembly 4 drives the top of the swing shaft 33 to rotate eccentrically, so that the bottom of the swing shaft 33 rotates eccentrically inside the sterilization cup 1 under the support of the hinge ball 32 and the hinge seat 31. The swing shaft 33 drives the blade inside the placement assembly 5 to stir eccentrically inside the sterilization cup 1, so that the blade and the disinfectant can be in more sufficient contact. The eccentric stirring setting can generate multi-directional vortex, so that the blade can be fully turned and contacted in the disinfectant, which promotes more sufficient contact between the blade and the disinfectant and ensures the disinfection effect.

[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the drive assembly 4 includes a mounting cover 41 fixed to the top of the cup lid 2. A rotating shaft 42 is provided through the top of the mounting cover 41. A rotating handle 44 is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 42. A turntable 43 is fixed to the bottom of the rotating shaft 42. The top of the swing shaft 33 is eccentrically fixed to the bottom of the turntable 43. The rotating shaft 42 is rotated by the rotating handle 44, which causes the rotating shaft 42 to drive the turntable 43 to rotate. The turntable 43 then drives the top of the swing shaft 33 to rotate around the rotating shaft 42.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the placement component 5 includes a fixed cover 51 fixed to the bottom of the swing shaft 33. A filter box 52 is inserted and installed at the bottom of the fixed cover 51. The filter box 52 is a flat cuboid with a porous structure. The blade is placed into the flat filter box 52, and the top of the filter box 52 is inserted into the fixed cover 51 to limit the placement of the blade. After disinfection, the cup lid 2 can be opened to move the filter box 52 out of the disinfection cup 1, and the blade can be lifted out of the disinfection cup 1 through the filter box 52 without clamping the blade, thus reducing damage to the blade.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the support component 6 includes a base 61 that is pluggably installed at the bottom of the sterilization cup 1, and a suction cup 62 is fixedly provided on the top of the base 61; the suction cup 62 is attached to the workbench to fix the base 61, and at the same time the bottom of the sterilization cup 1 is inserted into the base 61 to fix the sterilization cup 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the sterilization cup 1 when it is stirred.

[0030] The work process is as follows:

[0031] S1: As Figure 1As shown, during disinfection, the suction cup 62 is attached to the workbench to fix the base 61, and at the same time, the bottom of the disinfection cup 1 is inserted into the base 61 to fix the disinfection cup 1. After fixing, disinfectant is poured into the disinfection cup 1.

[0032] S2: As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the blades are then placed into the flat filter box 52, and the top of the filter box 52 is inserted into the fixed cover 51 with the top facing upward. Then the cup lid 2 is placed on the disinfection cup 1. At this time, the swing shaft 33 sinks the filter box 52 into the disinfection cup 1 through the fixed cover 51, so that the blades are immersed in the disinfectant in the disinfection cup 1.

[0033] S3: As Figure 4 As shown, the rotating shaft 42 is then rotated by the rotating handle 44, causing the rotating shaft 42 to drive the rotating disk 43 to rotate. The rotating disk 43 then drives the top of the swing shaft 33 to rotate around the rotating shaft 42, thereby causing the filter box 52 at the bottom of the swing shaft 33 to rotate eccentrically inside the sterilization cup 1 under the support of the hinge ball 32 and the hinge seat 31.

[0034] S4: As Figure 4 As shown, the filter box 52 drives the blades to stir in the disinfectant, so that the blades and disinfectant can be in more thorough contact. The eccentric stirring setting can generate multi-directional vortex, so that the blades can be fully turned and contacted in the disinfectant, ensuring that the blades and disinfectant are in more thorough contact and disinfection effect. After stirring for a few rounds, let it stand for fifteen minutes for disinfection.

[0035] S5: As Figure 3 As shown, after disinfection, open the cup lid 2, so that the cup lid 2 moves the filter box 52 out of the disinfection cup 1, and the leaf is lifted out of the disinfection cup 1 through the filter box 52. There is no need to clamp the leaf, which reduces damage to the leaf.

[0036] S6: As Figure 4 As shown, the disinfectant in the disinfection cup 1 is then poured out and sterile water is poured in. At this time, the above stirring process can make the leaves come into full contact with the sterile water, wash off the disinfectant on the leaves, and ensure the cleaning effect of the sterile water on the leaves.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
