Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical equipment technology, and in particular relates to a dyeing vat drying and cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Medical staining vats are mainly used to stain human tissue sections, cell smears and other samples so that pathologists can observe cell morphology, structure and lesion characteristics more clearly under a microscope, and assist in the diagnosis of diseases such as cancer and infectious diseases.

[0003] Since the dyeing vat needs to be cleaned and dried after each staining of the slides before it can be used again, and the internal space of the dyeing vat is small, cleaning is troublesome, and natural drying takes a long time, which will affect the staining efficiency of the slides.

[0004] Therefore, we need to design a dyeing vat drying and cleaning device to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a dyeing vat drying and cleaning device.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A dyeing vat drying and cleaning device includes a casing. A protective assembly is installed on the top of the casing. A water supply device and a drying device are installed inside the casing below the protective assembly. The output end of the water supply device is located inside the protective assembly. Several cleaning components are also installed inside the protective assembly. Each cleaning component includes a connecting branch pipe. One end of the connecting branch pipe is connected to the output end of the water supply device, and the other end is provided with a guide pipe. The axis of the guide pipe is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. A sliding frame is fitted on the guide pipe, and an elastic clip is provided on the sliding frame. A nozzle and a brush are provided on the free end of the guide pipe above the sliding frame. The drying device is connected to the interior of the protective assembly.

[0008] Preferably, the protective assembly includes a connecting ring and a protective cover. The connecting ring extends through the top of the chassis, and a water collection cover is fixedly installed inside the connecting ring. A connecting pipe is installed on the water collection cover, and a plurality of slots are formed on the inner wall of the connecting ring above the water collection cover. A plurality of locking blocks are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the opening of the protective cover. When the protective cover is assembled with the connecting ring, the positions of the plurality of locking blocks correspond one-to-one with the positions of the plurality of locking slots, and the locking blocks match the locking slots.

[0009] This design utilizes a protective cover to prevent water splashing during washing and creates a sealed space to prevent heat from escaping during drying, thus improving drying efficiency. The locking blocks and slots ensure the stability of the connection between the sealing cover and the connecting ring. The water collection cover collects and discharges wastewater after washing, ensuring the continuity of washing and drying.

[0010] Preferably, the water supply device includes a water pump, the input end of the water pump is provided with a water inlet pipe, the free end of the water inlet pipe extends out from the side wall of the casing, the output end of the water pump is provided with a water supply pipe, the free end of the water supply pipe passes through the water collection cover and is located inside the protective cover, and the connecting branch pipes are all connected to the water supply pipe.

[0011] This setup ensures a stable water supply through the water pump.

[0012] Preferably, the drying device includes a heating chamber, an air supply hood is provided on the heating chamber, a warm air pipe is provided on the air supply hood, the free end of the warm air pipe passes through the water supply pipe and is located inside the protective cover, and the water supply pipe and the warm air pipe are connected by a sealing ring plate. The heating chamber is also provided with an air collecting hood, a fan is provided inside the air collecting hood, an air supply pipe is provided on the air collecting hood, and a three-way valve is also provided in the casing on one side of the air collecting hood. The free ends of the air supply pipe and the connecting pipe are both connected to the three-way valve. A drain pipe is also provided on the three-way valve, and the free end of the drain pipe extends out from the side wall of the casing.

[0013] With this setup, the heating chamber can heat the air, facilitating the drying of the dyeing vat. The fan and warm air duct work together to deliver warm air into the sealed hood to dry the dyeing vat. The three-way valve can switch according to the working mode. During cleaning, the connecting pipe is connected to the drain pipe to discharge the wastewater collected by the water collection hood. During drying, the connecting pipe can be connected to the air supply pipe, creating an internal circulation between the heating chamber and the sealed hood. This continuously heats the airflow inside the sealed hood, maintaining the warm air hood at the optimal drying temperature and ensuring drying efficiency.

[0014] Preferably, there are two sealing ring plates, and the connecting branch pipes are all arranged on the water supply pipe between the two sealing ring plates.

[0015] This setup ensures a stable connection between the water supply pipe and the heating pipe, while also sealing the water supply pipe to guarantee the impact force of the water jet from the nozzle.

[0016] Preferably, a lower limit ring and an upper limit ring are also fixedly fitted on the guide tube, and the sliding frame is located between the lower limit ring and the upper limit ring.

[0017] This setting limits the sliding distance of the sliding frame.

[0018] Preferably, the number of elastic cards is at least four, and they are evenly distributed around the guide tube.

[0019] This setup allows for the fixation of dyeing vats with circular and square cross-sections, ensuring that the center of gravity is located in the center after fixation, thus preventing the sliding frame from jamming due to a shift in the center of gravity.

[0020] Preferably, the protective cover is also fixedly provided with a handle, and the material of the protective cover is plexiglass.

[0021] This design allows for easy control and operation of the protective cover via the handle, while the acrylic glass not only has good resistance to high and low temperatures but also facilitates observation of the internal cleaning and drying process during operation.

[0022] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0023] This invention features a top-mounted water spray guide pipe with a brush and a sliding frame that can slide up and down. The water flow impact drives the dyeing vat, which is fixed to the sliding frame, to slide up and down. The brush can clean the inside of the vat. After cleaning, a fan sends hot air from the heating chamber into the protective cover to quickly dry the vat, reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving the cleaning and drying efficiency of the vat.

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0035] Example 1: As Figures 1-5As shown, a dyeing vat drying and cleaning device includes a housing 1. A protective component is installed on the top of the housing 1. A water supply device and a drying device are installed inside the housing 1 below the protective component. The output end of the water supply device is located inside the protective component. Several cleaning components are also installed inside the protective component. Each cleaning component includes a connecting branch pipe 8. One end of the connecting branch pipe 8 is connected to the output end of the water supply device, and the other end is provided with a guide pipe 9. The axis of the guide pipe 9 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. A sliding frame 10 is fitted on the guide pipe 9. An elastic card 11 is provided on the sliding frame 10. A nozzle 13 and a brush 12 are provided at the free end of the guide pipe 9 above the sliding frame 10. The drying device is connected to the interior of the protective component.

[0036] The chassis 1 is also equipped with a switch 18, an indicator light 3, and an adjustment knob 2. The switch 18 can be used to turn the main power supply of the equipment on and off. The adjustment knob 2 is connected to the heating box 26, the fan 25, the water pump 24, and the indicator light 3 respectively. By rotating the adjustment knob 2, different working modes can be selected. The indicator light 3 can display the current working mode and the on / off status of the equipment power supply.

[0037] Preferably, the protective assembly includes a connecting ring 4 and a protective cover 19. The connecting ring 4 extends through the top of the housing 1, and a water collection cover 23 is fixedly installed inside the connecting ring 4. A connecting pipe 30 is installed on the water collection cover 23, and several slots 5 are opened on the inner wall of the connecting ring 4 above the water collection cover 23. Several locking blocks 20 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the opening of the protective cover 19. When the protective cover 19 is assembled with the connecting ring 4, the positions of the locking blocks 20 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the slots 5, and the locking blocks 20 and the slots 5 are matched. This arrangement of the protective cover 19 can prevent water splashing during cleaning and can also form a sealed space to prevent hot air from escaping during drying, thereby improving drying efficiency. The locking blocks 20 and the slots 5 can ensure the connection stability between the sealing cover and the connecting ring 4. The water collection cover 23 can collect and discharge the wastewater after cleaning, ensuring the continuity of cleaning and drying.

[0038] Preferably, the water supply device includes a water pump 24, with an inlet pipe 16 at the input end of the water pump 24. The free end of the inlet pipe 16 extends out from the side wall of the casing 1. The output end of the water pump 24 is provided with a water supply pipe 6. The free end of the water supply pipe 6 passes through the water collection cover 23 and is located inside the protective cover 19. All connecting branch pipes 8 are connected to the water supply pipe 6. This arrangement ensures the stability of the water supply through the water pump 24.

[0039] Preferably, the drying device includes a heating chamber 26, on which an air supply hood 29 is installed. A warm air pipe 7 is installed on the air supply hood 29. The free end of the warm air pipe 7 passes through the water supply pipe 6 and is located inside the protective cover 19. The water supply pipe 6 and the warm air pipe 7 are connected by a sealing ring plate 22. The heating chamber 26 is also equipped with an air collecting hood 28, inside which a fan 25 is installed. An air supply pipe 31 is installed on the air collecting hood 28. A three-way valve 27 is also installed in the casing 1 on one side of the air collecting hood 28. The free ends of the air supply pipe 31 and the connecting pipe 30 are both connected to the three-way valve 27. A drain pipe 17 is also installed on the three-way valve 27. The free end of 17 protrudes from the side wall of the casing 1. This arrangement of the heating box 26 allows it to heat the air, facilitating the drying of the dyeing vat. The fan 25 and the warm air pipe 7 work together to send warm air into the sealed cover to dry the dyeing vat. The three-way valve 27 can switch according to the working mode. During cleaning, the connecting pipe 30 is connected to the drain pipe 17 to discharge the wastewater collected by the water collection cover 23. During drying, the connecting pipe 30 can be connected to the air supply pipe 31 to form an internal circulation between the heating box 26 and the sealed cover. This continuously heats the airflow inside the sealed cover, keeping the warm air cover at the optimal drying temperature and ensuring drying efficiency.

[0040] Preferably, there are two sealing ring plates 22, and the connecting branch pipes 8 are all set on the water supply pipe 6 between the two sealing ring plates 22. This arrangement can not only achieve a stable connection between the water supply pipe 6 and the heating pipe 7, but also seal the water supply pipe 6 to ensure the impact force of the water flow sprayed from the nozzle 13.

[0041] Preferably, a lower limit ring 15 and an upper limit ring 14 are also fixedly fitted on the guide tube 9, and the sliding frame 10 is located between the lower limit ring 15 and the upper limit ring 14. This arrangement limits the sliding distance of the sliding frame 10 and prevents the sliding frame 10 from moving beyond the limit.

[0042] Preferably, the number of elastic cards 11 is at least four, and they are evenly distributed around the guide tube 9. This arrangement can fix dyeing vats with circular and square cross sections, ensuring that the center of gravity is located in the center after fixation, and avoiding jamming of the sliding frame 10 due to the shift of the center of gravity.

[0043] Preferably, a handle 21 is also fixedly provided on the protective cover 19, and the material of the protective cover 19 is plexiglass. This handle 21 facilitates the control and operation of the sealing cover. Plexiglass not only has good resistance to high and low temperatures, but also makes it easy to observe the internal cleaning and drying status during operation.

[0044] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: First, connect the water inlet pipe 16 to the water source to be used for cleaning, and connect the drain pipe 17 to the wastewater collection bucket. Then, rotate the protective cover 19 by the handle 21 to remove the locking block 20 on the protective cover 19 from the slot 5. Then, remove the protective cover 19 from the connecting ring 4. Next, put the dyeing cylinder to be cleaned on the nozzle 13 and brush 12 with the opening facing down, and insert the cylinder opening into the elastic card 11. Fix the dyeing cylinder on the sliding frame 10. After all the dyeing cylinders to be cleaned are installed, put the protective cover 19 back on. Then, rotate the protective cover 19 in the opposite direction by the handle 21 to make the locking block 20 lock into the slot 5.

[0045] Then, the power is turned on via switch 18. At this time, the indicator light 3, which indicates that the power is on, will light up. Then, after turning the adjustment knob 2 to enter the cleaning mode, the indicator light 3, which indicates the cleaning status, will light up. At the same time, the power to the water pump 24 will be turned on. The water pump 24 will draw water from the outside through the inlet pipe 16 and send it into the water supply pipe 6. Since the two ends of the heating pipe 7 and the water supply pipe 6 are connected by a sealing pipe, a sealed interlayer is formed between the heating pipe 7 and the water supply pipe 6. Since the diameter of the connecting branch pipe 8 is much smaller than the diameter of the water supply pipe 6 and the output pipe of the water pump 24, and also smaller than the thickness of the sealed interlayer between the heating pipe 7 and the water supply pipe 6, the water in the sealed interlayer will be quickly filled with water. As the water pump 24 continues to inject water into the sealed interlayer, the water in the sealed interlayer will be squeezed out from the connecting branch pipe 8. The water that enters the connecting branch pipe 8 will flow into the guide pipe 9 and finally be sprayed out from the nozzle 13.

[0046] Since the nozzle 13 is located inside the dyeing vat, when the water jet from the nozzle 13 has a large impact force, it will push the dyeing vat upward. During this process, the brush 12 will scrub the inner wall of the dyeing vat, and the sliding frame 10 connected to the dyeing vat via the elastic card 11 will also move upward with the dyeing vat. When the water pump 24 reduces the amount of water injected into the sealing jacket, the impact force of the water jet from the nozzle 13 will also decrease. If the impact force of the water jet is insufficient to push the dyeing vat upward, the dyeing vat will move downward under the action of gravity. During this process, the brush 12 will scrub the inner wall of the dyeing vat again. This process is repeated, which can continuously scrub the inner wall of the dyeing vat. At the same time, the water jet from the nozzle 13 not only plays a role in pushing the dyeing vat to move, but also provides a water source for scrubbing the dyeing vat.

[0047] Since cleaning the dyeing vat generates a large amount of wastewater, it is necessary to quickly discharge the wastewater generated during cleaning from the protective cover 19. Therefore, in the cleaning mode, the three-way valve 27 will connect the connecting pipe 30 on the water collection cover 23 to the drain pipe 17. The large amount of wastewater generated during cleaning will be collected by the water collection cover 23, enter the drain pipe 17 through the connecting pipe 30, and finally be discharged into the waste liquid tank.

[0048] After cleaning, turn the adjustment knob 2 again. At this time, the indicator light 3 of the drying mode will light up. The power to the water pump 24 will be disconnected. Then, the three-way valve 27 will disconnect the connection between the connecting pipe 30 and the drain pipe 17 and connect the connecting pipe 30 to the air supply pipe 31. At the same time, the power to the heating box 26 and the fan 25 will be turned on. The heating box 26 will start to heat up and heat the airflow blown by the fan 25. The heated airflow will enter the warm air pipe 7 through the air supply hood 29 and flow out from the end of the warm air pipe 7 located in the protective cover 19 to dry the dyeing vat inside the protective cover 19. At the same time, part of the airflow inside the protective cover 19 will flow into the air supply pipe 31 through the connecting pipe 30 and then enter the air collection hood 28 through the air supply pipe 31. It will be blown by the fan 25 to the heating box 26 for heating, forming a circulation to achieve the drying of the dyeing vat.

[0049] Once drying is complete, indicator light 3, representing the drying mode, will turn off. At this point, you can remove the protective cover 19 by turning handle 21 again, and then remove the dried dye vat for storage or use.

[0050] In addition to manually turning the knob to adjust the washing or drying mode, you can also turn the knob directly to the automatic mode. In this mode, the washing and drying modes will be executed automatically according to the set time, without the need for manual adjustment.

[0051] It should be noted that the water sprayed from the nozzle 13 in this application needs to push the dyeing vat to move, so the optimal spray direction needs to be perpendicular to the bottom of the dyeing vat; in addition, the dyeing vat can also be rotated by adjusting the spray direction of the nozzle 13. Rotating during the upward movement can improve the brushing effect of the brush 12 on the inside of the dyeing vat.

[0052] In this embodiment, the size of the water flow impact needs to be changed during the cleaning of the dyeing vat in order to move the dyeing vat up and down. Therefore, the output of the water pump 24 needs to be constantly changed. For example, the PMW speed control board can control the speed of the water pump 24 motor, thereby controlling the output of the water pump 24. In addition, there are many other ways to control the automatic control of the motor output, which are existing technologies and will not be described in this application.

[0053] The above description details one embodiment of the present utility model, but it is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the present utility model application should still fall within the patent coverage of the present utility model.
