Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of forensic laboratories and medical equipment cleaning equipment, and more specifically to an automatic cleaning method and an automatic cleaning machine for scissors used in medical and laboratory applications. Background Art

[0002] In order to prevent DNA contamination and cross infection during surgery, the scissors used in forensic testing and medical surgery need to be put aside after one use and wait for unified cleaning and disinfection before reuse. At present, the instrument processing equipment in laboratories and operating rooms is relatively scattered, and the scissors used for sampling after cleaning and disinfection must be dried and stored in time for the next use.

[0003] Traditional scissor cleaning machines, such as drum-type cleaning machines, are suitable for medical departments with a large amount of cleaning. The cleaning process is very rough and can easily damage the scissors. Other scissor cleaning machines cannot open the scissors for cleaning. If the scissors are not opened for cleaning, the dirt hidden in them is difficult to completely remove. They often need to be opened manually when placed manually, which has very low operating efficiency and lacks competitiveness. Some scissor cleaning machines hang one side of the scissors on the protrusion and use gravity to automatically open the other side. Although this can also achieve the purpose of automatically opening the scissors, when the scissors have been used for a long time and are relatively old or have a lot of stains during use, the gravity of the scissors themselves cannot guarantee automatic opening. When one or more of the scissors cannot guarantee automatic opening, the scissors that cannot be opened automatically will not be cleaned. The stains on the scissors that have not been cleaned contain DNA, which will contaminate the adjacent or even all scissors, causing detection failure or even wrong results. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an automatic cleaning method for scissors for medical and laboratory use. When the scissors need to be cleaned, the cleaning cover together with the automatic scissor opener is opened and placed aside, and then the scissors are placed in the cleaning tank and placed on the scissor holder in sequence. After all the scissors are placed, the cleaning cover together with the automatic scissor opener cover is returned to the cleaning tank, and the automatic scissor opener opens the scissor holder so that the scissors can be automatically opened. The automatic scissor cleaning machine for medical and laboratory use provided by the present invention has a compact structure and is very suitable for medical departments and forensic laboratories with a small amount of cleaning. The cleaning process will not cause damage to the scissors, and because the automatic scissor opener is provided, it can ensure that all scissors are automatically opened for cleaning, avoiding the problem of the cleaning process being wasted because the scissors cannot be opened automatically. The equipment in the cleaning tank can clean the dirt hidden therein, and there is no need to manually open it when placing it manually.
