[0002] In laboratory research and testing, glass test tubes are the core instruments for holding reagents and conducting chemical reactions. Their cleanliness and ease of storage directly affect experimental efficiency and safety. Traditional test tube racks only have a single storage function, usually consisting of supports and holes, which can only accommodate test tubes and cannot meet the needs of cleaning.

[0003] Existing cleaning methods mostly rely on manual operation, using handheld cleaning brushes to scrub the inner and outer walls of test tubes separately. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also makes it difficult to ensure uniformity and thoroughness of cleaning, easily leading to stain residue. While some automated cleaning equipment can achieve single-dimensional cleaning, it cannot simultaneously clean the inner and outer walls of test tubes, resulting in a cumbersome and inefficient cleaning process.

[0004] To address this problem, the present invention provides a glass test tube storage rack with a cleaning function. Utility Model Content

[0014] This invention provides a glass test tube storage rack with a cleaning function. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0015] (1) The glass test tube storage rack with cleaning function, after the servo motor is started, drives the drive rod to rotate, so that the connecting plate, internal cleaning brush, drive ring and external cleaning brush rotate synchronously to mechanically clean the inner and outer walls of the test tube. The connecting hole on the outside of the drive rod connects with the through holes on both sides of the connecting sleeve in sequence as it rotates. When it is aligned with the through hole on the side of the water pump, the cleaning liquid enters the cavity of the connecting plate through the pipe, connecting sleeve and drive rod, and is sprayed out from the water outlet of the cleaning brush to rinse the test tube. When it is aligned with the through hole on the side of the air pump, the dry gas is sprayed out, so that the cleaning liquid and gas enter in sequence to enhance the cleaning effect. After cleaning, the dry gas dries the test tube, so that the water stains on the test tube can be quickly removed.

[0016] (2) The glass test tube storage rack with cleaning function, by placing the test tube into the fixing ring, the test tube squeezes the fixing round head to compress the spring, and the spring force drives the fixing round head to clamp the test tube, preventing it from shaking or falling off during the cleaning process, providing a stable foundation for test tube cleaning, and at the same time ensuring that the cleaning brush can accurately clean the inner and outer walls of the test tube, improving the reliability of cleaning.

[0024] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 A glass test tube storage rack with a cleaning function includes a test tube rack structure 1 for placing clean test tubes 4. The test tube rack structure 1 includes a storage rack 11. A connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage rack 11 by a support rod. A placement platform 13 is fixedly connected to the storage rack 11. A placement groove 14 is opened inside the placement platform 13.

[0026] The test tube rack structure 1 is also equipped with a cleaning mechanism 3 for cleaning test tubes 4. The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a servo motor 31 fixedly connected to the connecting plate 12. A drive rod 32 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 31. A connecting plate 34 is fixedly connected to the top of the drive rod 32. The connecting plate 34 is located inside the placement slot 14. An internal cleaning brush 35 for cleaning the inside of the test tubes 4 is fixedly connected to the center of the connecting plate 34. A drive ring 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 34. At least one external cleaning brush 37 for cleaning the outside of the test tubes 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the drive ring 36. A cavity is opened inside the connecting plate 34. The drive rod 32 communicates with the cavity on the connecting plate 34. Both the internal cleaning brush 35 and the external cleaning brush 37 have connecting plates inside them. The cavity on 34 is connected to a hollow hole. The surfaces of the internal cleaning brush 35 and the external cleaning brush 37 are also provided with water outlet holes that communicate with the hollow hole. The bottom of the placement platform 13 is fixedly connected to a connecting sleeve 33, and the connecting sleeve 33 is rotatably connected to the drive rod 32. The outer side of the drive rod 32 is provided with a connecting hole 321. The top of the connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected to a water pump 6 and an air pump 7. The output ends of the water pump 6 and the air pump 7 are both fixedly connected to pipes. The pipe at the output end of the water pump 6 is connected to one side of the connecting sleeve 33, and the pipe at the output end of the air pump 7 is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting sleeve 33. The connecting sleeve 33 is provided with a through hole that communicates with the connecting hole 321. The input end of the water pump 6 is connected to an external cleaning liquid source through a pipe, and the input end of the air pump 7 is connected to an external drying gas source through a pipe.

[0027] During operation, the servo motor 31 starts, and its output shaft drives the drive rod 32 to rotate. The connecting plate 34 at the top of the drive rod 32 rotates accordingly. The internal cleaning brush 35 at the center of the connecting plate 34 extends into the test tube 4, and the external cleaning brush 37 on the drive ring 36 wraps around the outside of the test tube 4. The two rotate synchronously. Combined with the spraying of the cleaning liquid and drying gas, the mechanical brushing and drying of the inner and outer walls of the test tube 4 are achieved.

[0028] As the servo motor 31 rotates, the connecting hole 321 on the outside of the drive rod 32 will connect with the through holes on both sides of the connecting sleeve 33 in sequence as it rotates.

[0029] When the connecting hole 321 is aligned with the through hole on one side of the pipe connecting the water pump 6 on the connecting sleeve 33, the cleaning fluid flows into the connecting sleeve 33 through the output pipe, enters the drive rod 32 through the connecting hole 321, and then flows into the cavity of the connecting plate 34. Since the hollow holes of the internal cleaning brush 35 and the external cleaning brush 37 are connected to the cavity of the connecting plate 34, the cleaning fluid is sprayed out from the water outlet holes on the internal cleaning brush 35 and the external cleaning brush 37 to rinse the inner and outer walls of the test tube 4.

[0030] When the connecting hole 321 is aligned with the other side of the connecting hole on the connecting sleeve 33 that connects to the air pump 7, the dry gas is sprayed out from the water outlet on the inner cleaning brush 35 and the outer cleaning brush 37 through the same path, so as to realize the sequential entry of cleaning liquid and gas, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0031] After cleaning, the servo motor 31 continues to rotate, aligning the connecting hole 321 with the other side of the connecting hole on the connecting sleeve 33 that connects to the air pump 7 pipe. Drying gas is sprayed out from the water outlet on the internal cleaning brush 35 and the external cleaning brush 37 to dry the test tube 4.

[0032] After cleaning, test tube 4 is placed on storage rack 11. Example

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6 This embodiment provides a technical solution based on embodiment one: The top of the storage rack 11 is provided with a fixing mechanism 2 for fixing and limiting the test tube 4 that needs to be cleaned. The fixing mechanism 2 includes a fixing ring 21 fixedly connected to the top of the storage rack 11. At least three fixing grooves 22 are arranged in a circular array inside the fixing ring 21. Springs 23 are fixedly connected inside each of the three fixing grooves 22. A fixing round head 24 is fixedly connected to the other side of the spring 23. An isolation cover 5 for preventing the cleaning liquid from splashing is installed on the outside of the cleaning mechanism 3. An outlet hole is opened on the isolation cover 5, and a pipe for discharging the cleaning liquid is installed on the outside of the outlet hole.

[0034] During operation, the test tube 4 to be cleaned is placed inside the fixing ring 21. The test tube 4 presses against the fixing head 24, which compresses the spring 23, thereby clamping the test tube 4 with the fixing head 24 to ensure that it will not shake or fall off during the cleaning process.

[0035] The isolation cover 5 on the outside of the cleaning unit 3 can prevent the cleaning fluid from splashing. The outlet hole on the isolation cover 5 is connected to the pipe, and the waste liquid after cleaning is discharged through the pipe, keeping the working environment clean and avoiding contamination of the clean test tube 4.

[0036] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] Cleaning brush rotation: After the servo motor 31 starts, it drives the drive rod 32 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting plate 34, the internal cleaning brush 35, the drive ring 36 and the external cleaning brush 37 to rotate synchronously, so as to achieve mechanical brushing of the inner and outer walls of the test tube 4.

[0039] Alternating supply of cleaning fluid and gas for rinsing: The connecting hole 321 on the outside of the drive rod 32 connects sequentially with the through holes on both sides of the connecting sleeve 33 as it rotates. When the connecting hole 321 is aligned with the through hole on one side of the water pump 6, the cleaning fluid enters the cavity of the connecting plate 34 through the pipe, the connecting sleeve 33, and the drive rod 32, and then sprays out from the water outlet of the cleaning brush to rinse the test tube 4. When the connecting hole 321 is aligned with the through hole on one side of the air pump 7, the drying gas is sprayed out along the same path, realizing the alternating supply of cleaning fluid and gas, enhancing the cleaning effect. At the same time, after the cleaning is completed, the test tube 4 is dried.

[0040] Test tube fixation: Place test tube 4 into fixing ring 21. Test tube 4 presses the fixing round head 24 to compress spring 23, which in turn drives the fixing round head 24 to clamp test tube 4, ensuring that test tube 4 does not shake or fall off during cleaning.

[0041] Cleaning fluid collection: The isolation cover 5 on the outside of the cleaning mechanism 3 can prevent cleaning fluid from splashing. The outlet on the isolation cover 5 discharges the waste liquid through the pipe, keeping the environment clean and avoiding pollution.

[0042] Test tube storage: The cleaned test tubes 4 can be stored in the placement slots 14 of the placement platform 13.

[0043] It should be noted that the start and stop of air pump 7, water pump 6 and servo motor 31 are all controlled by the controller. The control relationship between the controller and the three is common knowledge in simple circuit control and is common knowledge in the field of art. The controller model can be Siemens S7-1200, which supports multi-device timing control.
