[0002] In the daily lives of people with limb disabilities, prosthetic assistive devices (such as sockets and silicone sleeves) are essential tools to ensure their normal mobility and quality of life. These devices are in direct and prolonged contact with the skin, and during use, sweat, sebum residue, and accumulated environmental moisture can easily lead to the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms inside. This can not only cause skin infections and inflammation, but also accelerate the aging of the devices, produce odors, and affect the user experience and lifespan. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the sockets and silicone sleeves of prosthetic assistive devices regularly during daily use.

[0003] After cleaning the receiving cavity and silicone sleeve, the main methods to keep them dry are manual wiping, natural air drying, or the use of simple tools such as ordinary towels and hair dryers.

[0004] After cleaning, in order to make it easier to keep the receiving cavity and silicone sleeve dry, existing technologies have developed drying equipment for the receiving cavity and silicone sleeve. However, the drying equipment is not flexibly adaptable to different specifications of receiving cavities and silicone sleeves in terms of structural design, and its versatility is poor. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a sterilization and drying device for receiving cavity and silicone sleeve, which enables the drying equipment to be matched with different receiving cavities and silicone sleeves.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] This utility model provides a sterilization and drying device for a receiving cavity and a silicone sleeve, including a base, a hot air assembly, a column, several frames, and an adjustment assembly;

[0008] The base has a mounting cavity, the hot air assembly is installed in the mounting cavity, the column is connected to the base and is installed at the top of the base. The column has a hollow structure, the hot air assembly is connected to the inner cavity of the column, a plurality of the skeletons are arranged in a ring array at the upper end of the column, and each skeleton is hinged to the column. The skeleton is equipped with a flexible tube, the flexible tube is connected to the inner cavity of the column, and the flexible tube and the skeleton are respectively provided with through holes. The air blown out by the hot air assembly is blown through the through holes to the receiving cavity and the silicone sleeve.

[0009] The adjustment assembly includes a sliding sleeve and a connecting rod. The sliding sleeve is installed on the outside of the column and is slidably connected to the column. One end of the connecting rod is hinged to the sliding sleeve, and the other end is hinged to the frame.

[0010] The frame is composed of a first rod and a second rod. One end of the first rod is hinged to the column, and the other end is connected to the second rod. The included angle between the first rod and the second rod is an obtuse angle.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned frames is equipped with an ultraviolet (UV) lamp strip.

[0012] Furthermore, a water collection tank is provided on the top of the base to collect water droplets falling from the receiving cavity and the silicone sleeve.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper end of the water collection tank is detachably connected to a grid-shaped baffle.

[0014] Furthermore, a control panel is installed on the base, and the control panel has a temperature setting adjustment module, a timer module, and a daily timer module.

[0015] The base cavity is equipped with a circuit board, which is connected to the control panel and the hot air assembly. The surface of the circuit board is coated with waterproof adhesive.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a receiving cavity and silicone sleeve disinfection and drying device, including a base 1, a hot air assembly 2, a column 3, several frames 4 and an adjustment assembly 5;

[0034] The base 1 has a mounting cavity, the hot air assembly 2 is installed in the mounting cavity, the column 3 is connected to the base 1 and is installed at the top of the base 1. The column 3 has a hollow structure, and the hot air assembly 2 communicates with the inner cavity of the column 3. A plurality of frames 4 are arranged in a circular array at the upper end of the column 3, and each frame 4 is hinged to the column 3. The plurality of frames 4 form an umbrella-shaped frame structure. The frames 4 are made of shape memory metal.

[0035] The opening and closing degree of the frame 4 can be adjusted by adjusting component 5, so as to adjust the outer dimensions of the frame 4 to match the receiving cavity and silicone sleeve of different sizes and specifications, thereby improving the versatility of the disinfection and drying device.

[0036] The frame 4 is equipped with a flexible hose 6, which is connected to the inner cavity of the column 3. The flexible hose 6 and the frame 4 are respectively provided with through holes. The through holes on the flexible hose 6 and the through holes on the frame 4 are connected. The air blown out by the hot air assembly 2 is blown into the receiving cavity and the silicone sleeve through the through holes.

[0037] The adjustment assembly 5 includes a sliding sleeve 51 and a connecting rod 52. The sliding sleeve 51 is installed on the outside of the column 3 and is slidably connected to the column 3. One end of the connecting rod 52 is hinged to the sliding sleeve 51 and the other end is hinged to the frame 4.

[0038] Each of the aforementioned frames 4 is composed of a first rod 41 and a second rod 42. One end of the first rod 41 is hinged to the column 3, and the other end is connected to the second rod 42. The included angle between the first rod 41 and the second rod 42 is an obtuse angle.

[0039] Specifically, each of the aforementioned frames 4 is equipped with an ultraviolet (UV) lamp strip 7. The UV lamp strip 7 serves to disinfect and sterilize.

[0040] Specifically, a water collection tank 8 is provided on the top of the base 1 to collect water droplets dripping from the receiving cavity and the silicone sleeve.

[0041] Specifically, the upper end of the water collection tank 8 is detachably connected to a grid-shaped baffle 9.

[0042] Specifically, a control panel is installed on the base 1. The control panel has a temperature level adjustment module, a timer module, a daily timer module, a device start / stop button, a drying mode selection button, a light strip start / stop button, and a first MCU. The temperature level adjustment module, the timer module, the daily timer module, the drying mode selection button, the light strip start / stop button, and the device start / stop button are all connected to the first MCU.

[0043] The base 1 has a circuit board inside its cavity. The circuit board is connected to the control panel and the hot air assembly 2. The surface of the circuit board is coated with waterproof adhesive.

[0044] The outer wall of the column 3 is equipped with a temperature sensor 10 and a humidity sensor 11, which are connected to a circuit board. When the receiving cavity or silicone sleeve is upside down on the frame 4, the temperature sensor 10 and humidity sensor 11 are used to detect the temperature and humidity inside the receiving cavity or silicone sleeve cavity.

[0045] When the temperature is higher than the set threshold or the humidity is lower than the set threshold, the circuit board controls the fan and heating wire to stop working to prevent the receiving cavity or silicone sleeve from overheating, drying out, deforming, or cracking.

[0046] The hot air assembly 2 includes a fan and a heating wire. The fan is installed in the mounting cavity, and the heating wire is located at the air outlet of the fan. Both the fan and the heating wire are connected to the circuit board.

[0047] The circuit board includes a heating wire control module, a fan control module, a clock module, a second MCU, an LED strip start / stop module, and a storage module. The second MCU is connected to the first MCU, the heating wire control module, the fan control module, the clock module, the LED strip start / stop module, the storage module, the temperature sensor 10, and the humidity sensor 11.

[0048] When the user operates the temperature setting adjustment module, timer module, daily timer module, drying mode selection button, UV light strip start / stop button, or device start / stop button, the first MCU will transmit the corresponding signal to the second MCU, which will then execute the corresponding actions, such as adjusting the working temperature of the heating wire, calling the corresponding drying mode, modifying the setting time of the drying mode, opening and closing the UV light strip 7, and controlling the start / stop of the device.

[0049] The heating wire control module controls whether the heating wire is working and its power level. The fan control module controls the fan's start / stop and the airflow. The clock module provides time information. The storage module has multiple preset drying modes corresponding to different temperatures and humidity levels to meet the drying needs of various materials such as resin, PP sheets, carbon fiber, and silicone gel. Each drying mode has a corresponding drying time, which can be adjusted by the user using the timer module. Similarly, the user can adjust the heating wire's operating temperature using the temperature setting module. Pressing the timer or temperature setting module sends a signal from the first MCU to the second MCU, which then adjusts the drying time or heating wire temperature.

[0050] Depending on the material of the receiving cavity or silicone sleeve, the user selects the appropriate drying mode via the drying mode selection button. The second MCU, based on the user-selected drying module, controls the heating wire and fan via the heating wire control module and fan control module respectively, to dry the receiving cavity or silicone sleeve.

[0051] After the set drying time is reached, the second MCU controls the fan and heating wire to stop working. Of course, in order to prevent the receiving cavity or silicone sleeve from overheating, drying, deforming, or cracking, if the temperature sensor 10 detects that the temperature is higher than the set threshold or the humidity sensor 11 detects that the humidity is lower than the set threshold before the drying time is reached, the second MCU will still control the fan and heating wire to stop working.

[0052] In addition, when the user triggers the daily timer module and sets the daily start time, drying temperature and drying time of this device, the second MCU will turn on the device at a fixed time every day according to the time information provided by the time module, and dry the receiving cavity or silicone sleeve according to the set drying time and drying temperature.

[0053] For example, a user places the receiving cavity or silicone sleeve upside down on the frame before going to sleep and sets the device to start at 6:40 AM every day, setting the drying temperature and time (e.g., 15 minutes) according to the material of the receiving cavity or silicone sleeve. Then, the device will dry (warm) the receiving cavity or silicone sleeve at 6:40 AM every day according to the user's set drying temperature and time, so that when the user puts it on at 7:00 AM every morning, they can feel the warmth of the receiving cavity or silicone sleeve.

[0054] Specifically, the sliding sleeve 51 includes an annular sleeve 511 with an opening. Ear plates 512 are integrally formed at both ends of the opening. A bolt 513 passes through the ear plates 512 and connects to a nut to fix the sliding sleeve 51 to the outer wall of the central column 3. After loosening the bolt 513, the sliding sleeve 51 can slide along the axis of the central column 3 to adjust the frame 4 to a position that matches the receiving cavity and the silicone sleeve. After adjustment, tightening the bolt 513 fixes the sliding sleeve 51 to the outer wall of the central column 3, ensuring that the dimensions of the frame 4 do not change.

[0055] The advantages of this invention are as follows: During adjustment, the sliding sleeve 51 is pushed to move, causing the frame 4 to swing, thereby adjusting the outer dimensions of the frame 4 to match different sizes and specifications of receiving cavities and silicone sleeves, thus improving the versatility of the disinfection and drying device. This device integrates hot air drying and ultraviolet (UV) lamp disinfection functions. Hot air is evenly blown onto the appliance through the column 3, the flexible hose 6 inside the frame 4, and the through holes, ensuring efficient and thorough drying; the UV lamp strip 7 can effectively kill bacteria and other microorganisms, achieving simultaneous cleaning and disinfection, reducing health problems caused by microbial growth. The circuit board inside the base 1 is sealed with glue, providing waterproof and leak-proof functions, reducing the risk of use in humid environments. The temperature sensor 10 and humidity sensor 11 installed on the central column 3 can automatically cut off power when the temperature is too high or the humidity is too low, preventing the receiving cavity and silicone sleeve from deforming or cracking due to overheating or drying, effectively extending the service life of the appliance. The control panel on base 1 features modules for temperature adjustment, timer, and daily timer, and includes multiple preset drying modes corresponding to different temperature and humidity parameters. It provides suitable drying conditions for various materials such as resin, PP sheets, carbon fiber, and silicone gel, enhancing ease of use and professionalism. The built-in water collection tank 8 collects water droplets that fall immediately after washing, eliminating the need for additional water treatment, simplifying the process, and making the drying process more convenient and efficient.
