Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sterilization and disinfection technology, specifically to a loading basket for a sterilizer. Background Technology

[0002] Sterilizers are indispensable sterilization equipment in the medical industry. Ethylene oxide sterilizers are mainly used for the low-temperature sterilization of medical devices and items that cannot withstand high-temperature and high-pressure steam sterilization, especially long and narrow tubes and endoscopes, plastic or rubber products, and sanitary materials. These include highly hazardous items that come into contact with patients' blood and body fluids, such as flexible endoscopes, rigid endoscopes, cameras, fiber optics, and anesthesia video laryngoscopes. During sterilization, the items to be sterilized are usually placed in a dedicated loading basket before being sent to the sterilization chamber. Most existing sterilizer loading baskets are fixed-size, single-basket structures. These fixed-size baskets cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the quantity or volume of the items to be sterilized. When there are few items, using a large loading basket wastes internal space in the sterilizer, reducing the efficiency of a single sterilization cycle; while when the items are of special or excessive size, the fixed basket may not be able to accommodate them.

[0003] Existing sterilizer loading baskets are not adaptable to different quantities or volumes of items to be sterilized, and their adjustment flexibility is poor. This solution addresses this technical problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a loading basket for a sterilizer. By slidably mounting a second basket body on the open side of the first basket body, the overall capacity of the loading basket can be flexibly adjusted according to the quantity and volume of the items to be sterilized. When there are few items, it can be contracted to save space in the sterilization chamber; when there are many items or the items are large, it can be expanded to increase the capacity, thereby improving the space utilization rate and single sterilization efficiency of the sterilizer. The loading basket has flexible capacity adjustment and high space utilization.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a loading basket for a sterilizer, including a basket body one with an open side, and a basket body two slidably disposed on the open side of the basket body one. The bottom side of the basket body two is provided with a locking component connected to the basket body one. The top sides of the basket body one and the basket body two are provided with connecting components. The two loading baskets stacked on top of each other can be detachably connected through the connecting components.

[0006] The first basket body includes a bottom rib, a top rib, and a plurality of vertical ribs connected between the bottom rib and the top rib. The second basket body includes a second bottom rib, a second top rib, and a plurality of vertical ribs connected between the second bottom rib and the second top rib. The locking assembly includes a plurality of fixing sleeves fixed on the second bottom rib and a guide sleeve on one side of the fixing sleeve. The two ends of the first bottom rib slide through the guide sleeve. The guide sleeve has a relief groove for avoiding the first vertical rib. A fastening bolt for locking the first bottom rib is provided through the side of the guide sleeve.

[0007] Both ends of the bottom rib are provided with locking nuts to prevent the guide sleeve from coming out, and the locking nuts are detachably connected to both ends of the bottom rib.

[0008] The connecting assembly includes a sliding sleeve that is slidably disposed on the top rib one and the top rib two respectively, and a snap-fit ​​sleeve disposed on the side of the sliding sleeve. The snap-fit ​​sleeve is detachably snapped onto the bottom rib one of the upper basket body one and the bottom rib two of the basket body two respectively.

[0009] A reinforcing rib is provided below the first top rib, and a reinforcing rib is provided below the second top rib. A guide component is provided on the side of the second reinforcing rib, and the first reinforcing rib is slidably disposed on the guide component.

[0010] The guide assembly includes several fixed sleeves two fixedly sleeved on the outside of the reinforcing rib two, and guide sleeve two disposed on the side of the fixed sleeve two. The reinforcing rib one is slidably disposed in the guide sleeve two, and the guide sleeve two is provided with a relief groove two for avoiding the vertical rib one.

[0011] Several of the vertical ribs are arranged in an array on the outside of the bottom rib and the top rib.

[0012] Several of the vertical ribs are arranged in an array inside the bottom rib and the top rib.

[0013] The bottom rib, top rib, reinforcing rib, and vertical rib of the first basket are all made of stainless steel and are connected by welding. The bottom rib, top rib, reinforcing rib, and vertical rib of the second basket are all made of stainless steel and are connected by welding.

[0014] The connecting component is made of thin-walled stainless steel, and the opening size of the snap-fit ​​sleeve is smaller than the cross-sectional width of the first bottom rib and the second bottom rib.

[0015] One or more technical solutions proposed in this application have at least the following technical effects:

[0016] (1) By setting a second basket that can be slidably set on the open side of the first basket, the overall capacity of the loading basket can be flexibly adjusted according to the quantity and volume of the items to be sterilized. When there are few items, it shrinks to save space in the sterilization chamber; when there are many items or the volume is large, it expands to increase the capacity, which improves the space utilization rate and single sterilization efficiency of the sterilizer. The capacity adjustment of the loading basket is flexible and the space utilization rate is high.

[0017] (2) Through the design of the locking component, after the basket is pulled out and extended, it can be firmly locked to the bottom rib by tightening the fastening bolts, which ensures the overall structural strength and stability in the extended state, and can safely support heavy medical devices. The structure of the loading basket is more stable and reliable.

[0018] (3) By using the connecting components set on the top ribs 1 and 2, the stacked loading baskets can be connected to the bottom ribs of the lower basket by snap-fit ​​sleeves, forming a stable and separable connection. This effectively prevents the baskets from sliding or tipping over during handling or moving, improving operational safety and convenience. At the same time, stacking empty baskets also saves storage space, making the stacking connection safer and more reliable, and making storage and transportation convenient and fast.

[0035] In one embodiment, see Figures 1-10 A loading basket for a sterilizer includes a basket body 1 with an open side, and a basket body 2 that is slidably disposed on the open side of the basket body 1. The bottom side of the basket body 2 is provided with a locking component 3 connected to the basket body 1, and the top sides of both the basket body 1 and the basket body 2 are provided with a connecting component 4.

[0036] It is understandable that the two stacked loading baskets are detachably connected by the connecting component 4, and the sliding between basket body 1 and basket body 2 is achieved by the locking component 3, thereby enabling the loading basket to achieve the function of extension and retraction. The connecting component 4 can connect the upper and lower layers of loading baskets, thereby realizing the stacking of multiple layers of loading baskets.

[0037] Furthermore, the basket body 1 includes a bottom rib 11, a top rib 12, and several vertical ribs 13 connecting the bottom rib 11 and the top rib 12. The basket body 2 includes a bottom rib 21, a top rib 22, and several vertical ribs 23 connecting the bottom rib 21 and the top rib 22. The locking assembly 3 includes several fixing sleeves 31 fixedly mounted on the bottom rib 21 and a guide sleeve 32 mounted on the side of the fixing sleeve 31. The two ends of the bottom rib 11 slide through the guide sleeve 32. The guide sleeve 32 has a relief groove 321 for avoiding the vertical ribs 13. The side of the guide sleeve 32 is provided with a fastening bolt 33 for locking the bottom rib 11.

[0038] Both ends of the bottom rib 11 are equipped with locking nuts 111 to prevent the guide sleeve 32 from coming off. The locking nuts 111 are detachably connected to both ends of the bottom rib 11. It can be understood that by using the locking nuts 111 on the basket body 1 to prevent the basket body 2 from coming off, the use of the loading basket is made safer and more reliable.

[0039] The connecting component 4 includes a sliding sleeve 41 that is slidably disposed on the top rib 12 and the top rib 22 respectively, and a snap-fit ​​sleeve 42 disposed on the side of the sliding sleeve 41. The snap-fit ​​sleeve 42 can be detachably snapped onto the bottom rib 11 of the upper basket 1 and the bottom rib 21 of the basket 2 respectively. The snap-fit ​​sleeve 42 of the connecting component 4 realizes the stacking and fixing of multi-layer loading baskets.

[0040] In another embodiment, a reinforcing rib 14 is provided below the top rib 12, and a reinforcing rib 24 is provided below the top rib 22. A guide component 5 is provided on the side of the reinforcing rib 24, and the reinforcing rib 14 is slidably disposed on the guide component 5. By providing the reinforcing rib 14 and the reinforcing rib 24, the structural rigidity of the basket 1 and the basket 2 is improved, and the use is more stable and reliable.

[0041] The guide assembly 5 includes several fixed sleeves 51 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the reinforcing rib 24, and guide sleeves 52 disposed on the side of the fixed sleeves 51. The reinforcing rib 14 is slidably disposed in the guide sleeves 52. The guide sleeves 52 are provided with clearance grooves 521 for avoiding the vertical rib 13.

[0042] Several vertical ribs 13 are arranged in an array outside the bottom ribs 11 and the top ribs 12.

[0043] Several vertical ribs 23 are arranged in an array inside the bottom rib 21 and the top rib 22, so as to facilitate the avoidance of the vertical rib 1 by the avoidance groove 321 and the avoidance groove 521.

[0044] The bottom rib 11, top rib 12, reinforcing rib 14, and vertical rib 13 of basket body 1 are all made of stainless steel and are connected by welding. The bottom rib 21, top rib 22, reinforcing rib 24, and vertical rib 23 of basket body 2 are all made of stainless steel and are connected by welding, thus making the connection and use of basket body 1 and basket body 2 safer and more reliable.

[0045] The connecting component 4 is made of thin-walled stainless steel. The opening size of the snap-fit ​​sleeve 42 is smaller than the cross-sectional width of the bottom rib 11 and the bottom rib 21. The snap-fit ​​sleeve 42 is deformed and embedded into the outside of the bottom rib 11 and the bottom rib 21 through the opening, thereby realizing the stacking connection of the multi-layer loading basket.

[0046] The specific working process of this utility model:

[0047] First, assemble basket body 1 and basket body 2 together. During assembly, first remove the locking nuts 111 at both ends of bottom rib 11, then put the guide sleeve of the locking component 3 on bottom rib 21 onto both ends of bottom rib 11, and then screw on the locking nuts 111 to limit the locking component 3.

[0048] In use, slide the second basket 2 along the bottom rib 11 of the first basket 1 to the position that matches the medical device, and then tighten the fastening bolts 33 on the guide sleeves 32 on both sides of the bottom rib 21. The fastening bolts 33 press the bottom rib 11, thereby limiting the position of the first basket 1. Then, the medical device of a specific size can be placed in the loading basket, and then the loading basket is placed in the sterilizer for sterilization.

[0049] If multiple medical devices need to be loaded, the loading baskets can be assembled using a multi-layer stacking method. The stacking configuration of the loading baskets is as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the stacking process of the loading baskets is as follows: First, fill one layer of loading baskets with medical devices, then place another layer of loading baskets on top of the loading baskets. Then, rotate the snap-fit ​​sleeves 42 of the connecting components 4 on the top ribs 12 and 22 of the lower loading basket to the positions of the bottom ribs 11 and 21 of the upper loading basket. Then, press the snap-fit ​​sleeves 42 firmly. Since the snap-fit ​​sleeves 42 are made of thin-walled stainless steel, the opening of the snap-fit ​​sleeves 42 becomes larger and fits onto the bottom ribs 11 and 21 of the upper loading basket. Then, load the medical devices into the upper loading baskets. After loading the medical devices, place the stacked loading baskets into the sterilizer for sterilization.

[0050] If it is necessary to place large and tall medical devices, and also to stack them, slide the upper loading basket 2 along the direction of the basket 1 to fold the basket 2. Then, tighten the fastening bolt 33 of the connecting component 4, and then install the loading basket on the bottom loading basket that has already loaded the medical devices through the connecting component 4.

[0051] By setting a second basket 2 that can be slidably set on the open side of the first basket 1, the overall capacity of the loading basket can be flexibly adjusted according to the quantity and volume of the items to be sterilized. When there are few items, it can shrink to save space in the sterilization chamber; when there are many items or the items are large, it can expand to increase the capacity, thereby improving the space utilization rate and single sterilization efficiency of the sterilizer. The capacity adjustment of the loading basket is flexible and the space utilization rate is high.

[0052] The design of the locking component 3 ensures that after the basket 2 is pulled out and extended, it is firmly locked to the bottom rib 11 by tightening the fastening bolts 33, thus ensuring the overall structural strength and stability in the extended state. This allows it to safely support heavy medical equipment, making the structure of the loading basket more stable and reliable.

[0053] By using the connecting components 4 on the top ribs 12 and 22, the stacked loading baskets can be interlocked with the bottom ribs of the lower basket through the snap-fit ​​sleeves 42, forming a stable and separable connection. This effectively prevents the baskets from sliding or tipping over during handling or movement, improving operational safety and convenience. At the same time, stacking empty baskets also saves storage space, and the stacking connection is safer and more reliable, making storage and transportation convenient and fast.

[0054] Technical features not described in detail in this solution are based on conventional operations and general understanding of those skilled in the art, and are therefore not elaborated upon here. Technical features not described in this utility model can be implemented using existing technology, and will not be repeated here.
