[0024] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0025] This utility model discloses a swing-and-clean device for a growth container and its contents. In this embodiment, the cleaning device is specifically applied to the cleaning of bottle-grown Gastrodia elata. The growth container is a transparent glass cultivation bottle with a volume of 1000mL; the contents are bottle-grown Gastrodia elata that has completed its growth cycle. This cleaning device can create stable swinging motions between the growth container (cultivation bottle) and its contents (Gastrodia elata) without removing the Gastrodia elata, thus facilitating the cleaning of both.

[0026] The cleaning device consists of a support frame 1, a swing assembly 2, and a reset assembly 3. The support frame 1 forms the load-bearing structure of the device; the swing assembly 2 serves as the excitation source; and the reset assembly 3 provides an elastic reset function. Details are as follows: Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a cleaning device used for the growth container and its in-situ cleaning of Gastrodia elata (the diagram shows a portion of the accommodating cavity containing the growth container). Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the support structure; Figure 3 for Figure 1 Right view of the cleaning device; Figure 4 for Figure 3 Enlarged view of point A (the leftmost ball is not shown in this image); Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the drive shaft structure.

[0027] The support frame 1 includes a support leg 11 and a support plate 12. The support leg 11 supports the entire device and maintains stability. The support plate 12 is used to mount related moving parts. The support plate 12 has a clearance cavity 121, which provides movement space for the transmission parts. Multiple ball bearing frames 13 are mounted on the support plate 12. Each ball bearing frame 13 has a ball bearing cavity 131, which contains rotatable balls 132, allowing the structure of the swing assembly 2 to slide against the support plate 12.

[0028] The swing component 2 includes: Motor 21 mounted on support leg 11; The drive shaft 22 is rotatably mounted on the support leg 11 via a bearing and is connected to the motor 21 for transmission. The swing chamber 23 is in sliding fit with the support plate 12 via ball bearings 132 and is connected to the upper end of the drive shaft 22 via a bearing.

[0029] Among them, the function of motor 21 is to provide power source; the function of drive shaft 22 is to transmit power and change the form of motion; the function of swing chamber 23 is to contain and drive the growth container to move.

[0030] Furthermore, the drive shaft 22 is an eccentric drive shaft, with an eccentric shaft structure at its output end, used to convert the rotational motion of the motor 21 output shaft into the planar reciprocating oscillating motion of the swing chamber 23. Kinematically, this manifests as a circular trajectory motion around a fixed axis with a radius of 15cm. The rotation direction of the motor 21 is controlled in real time by a servo control system, allowing adjustment of the motion trajectory mode of the swing chamber 23. In this embodiment, its kinematic characteristics are specifically manifested as follows: first, a complete circular motion cycle is completed in a clockwise direction, then immediately converted to a counterclockwise direction to complete another complete circular motion cycle, thereby forming a continuous and stable alternating motion cycle.

[0031] Furthermore, a clamp 231 is installed inside the swing chamber 23 via adhesive or bolt connection. The clamp 231 is made of an elastic material, such as foam or silicone. The clamp 231 has a receiving cavity 232 for accommodating and fixing the growth container 4. The outline dimension of the receiving cavity 232 is smaller than the outer outline dimension of the growth container 4, and the single-sided interference between the two is not less than 0.5 mm. Therefore, when the growth container 4 is placed in the receiving cavity 232, the elastic sidewall of the receiving cavity 232 undergoes elastic deformation, forming an elastic interference fit with the outer surface of the growth container 4, thereby positioning and fixing the growth container 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, a self-aligning bearing is selected, whose self-aligning characteristic can compensate for the slight misalignment that may occur during the oscillation of the transmission shaft 22, thus helping to improve the smoothness of the oscillation transmission and the reliability of operation. In other embodiments, ordinary deep groove ball bearings can also be used, which is beneficial to the overall manufacturing cost of the control device.

[0033] Figure 6 for Figure 1 A top view of the cleaning device.

[0034] Multiple reset components 3 are used to assist in the reset of the swing chamber 23. Each reset component 3 includes a left spring 31 and a right spring 32. One end of the left spring 31 is connected to the left lug of the support plate 12, and the other end is connected to the middle lug on the swing chamber 23; one end of the right spring 32 is connected to the right lug of the support plate 12, and the other end is connected to the middle lug on the swing chamber 23. The function of the left spring 31 and the right spring 32 is to provide restoring force to maintain the dynamic balance of the system.

[0035] When at rest, the left spring 31 and right spring 32 in each reset assembly 3 are positioned symmetrically about a vertical plane, which is determined by the rotation axis of the drive shaft 22 and the center of the intermediate lug on the swing chamber 23, and is used to provide a balanced reset force for the swing chamber 23.

[0036] In this embodiment, there are four sets of reset components 3, symmetrically arranged around the swing chamber 23; in other embodiments, the number of reset components 3 may be two or three sets, etc., depending on the size and weight of the swing chamber 23.

[0037] When using the cleaning device in this embodiment for cleaning operations, an appropriate amount of cleaning medium can be pre-filled into the growth container to be treated. This medium can be a liquid medium (e.g., water or alcohol) or a solid medium (e.g., wood blocks, rubber blocks, etc.). The growth container is then placed inside the swing chamber 23. By activating the cleaning device, the motor 21 drives the eccentric transmission shaft 22, converting the rotational motion into the reciprocating swing of the swing chamber 23, thereby causing the growth container and its Gastrodia elata to swing accordingly. Therefore, the cleaning medium undergoes relative motion within the growth container, rubbing against the surface of the growth container and the Gastrodia elata, thus cleaning the growth container and its Gastrodia elata.

[0038] Overall, the oscillating component 2 in the above-mentioned cleaning device can maintain the same amplitude and frequency of multiple growth containers in the oscillating chamber 23 during oscillation; the resetting component 3 can, to a certain extent, maintain stable circumferential oscillation of the oscillating chamber 23 and its growth containers during oscillation. This cleaning device can improve the quality and efficiency of in-situ cleaning of the growth containers and Gastrodia elata to a certain extent.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
