Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of effective medical devices, specifically to a self-service shared thermometer rental device. Background Technology

[0002] However, the thermometers currently used in hospitals are all in the hands of nurses or doctors. Although thermometer guns can accurately and quickly collect patients' body temperature, they are greatly affected by environmental factors and cannot accurately collect patients' stable body temperature. Therefore, it is still necessary to use a thermometer to accurately collect patients' stable body temperature.

[0003] When using a thermometer, patients need to borrow it from a nurse or doctor to measure body temperature, and they also need to return it to the medical staff after use. This is inconvenient for patients, and it is also very troublesome for medical staff to frequently borrow and return thermometers. Since thermometers need to detect body temperature through contact with the human body, medical staff must disinfect the thermometers after use. Furthermore, mercury thermometers need to be returned to their initial position before the next use. The frequent disinfection of thermometers and return of mercury columns increases the workload of medical staff and reduces the efficiency of collecting body temperature from multiple patients at the same time.

[0004] Therefore, in response to the above problems, a method of sharing thermometers is proposed to solve them. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-service shared thermometer rental device to solve the technical problem that the use of thermometers for patients in hospitals is relatively cumbersome and complicated in the existing technology.

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a self-service shared thermometer rental device, which includes:

[0047] The placement seat 3 has a ring array of multiple cylindrical cavities 5 for placing thermometers. One end of each cylindrical cavity 5 is open for inserting and removing the thermometer.

[0048] Clamping member 6 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity 5 and is used to clamp the end of the thermometer;

[0049] The disinfectant level control chamber 1 is located at the bottom of the placement seat 3 and communicates with the column cavity 5. The disinfectant level cavity 1 is used to provide disinfectant with a variable level to the column cavity 5.

[0050] Centrifugal drive assembly 4 is connected to placement seat 3 and is used to drive the column cavity 5 on placement seat 3 to rotate centrifugally.

[0051] This invention constructs a basic rental device for the process of taking, returning, and disinfecting thermometers. In other words, by constructing a placement seat 3 suitable for centrifugation operations to hold multiple thermometers, it is applicable to situations in hospitals where multiple thermometers need to be provided simultaneously.

[0052] Based on this invention, adding an existing shared power bank rental management system is something that those skilled in the art can easily implement, thus realizing a self-service shared thermometer rental device.

[0053] In order to achieve a more detailed implementation of self-service, shared thermometer rental equipment, the following measures are taken:

[0054] An upper seat 17 is installed on the upper part of the disinfectant level control chamber 1. The upper seat 17 has a placement chamber 2 for installing the placement seat 3 inside. There is a gap between the side wall surface of the placement seat 3 and the inner wall of the placement chamber 2, which connects the disinfectant level control chamber 1. The gap is for the disinfectant to enter the column cavity 5. Of course, there are many ways to achieve this, such as a gap or a pipe structure, as long as the purpose of disinfectant entering the column cavity 5 can be achieved.

[0055] The placement seat 3 is frustum-shaped, which is suitable for constructing a structure for centrifugal action of multiple column cavities 5. The column cavities 5 are set inside the placement seat 3 along the waistline direction of the placement seat 3, and the opening 18 of the column cavity 5 is located on the upper surface of the placement seat 3. The column cavity 5 is connected to the gap through the through hole 19 set in the inner wall of the column cavity 5.

[0056] Furthermore, in order to achieve mechanical cleaning of the thermometer surface by means of a centrifugal structure in the thermometer placement seat 3, the placement seat 3 includes an inner base 31 and an outer tube 32. Multiple first grooves 33 are equally spaced along the length of the inner wall of the outer tube 32. A wiping pad 34 is provided on the inner wall of the outer tube 32 between two adjacent first grooves 33. Multiple second grooves 35 are equally spaced along the length of the outer wall of the inner base 31, and the second grooves 35 correspond one-to-one with the first grooves 33. The first grooves 33 and the second grooves 35 constitute a cylindrical cavity 5.

[0057] The bottom of the inner platform 31 is provided with a reverse locking component 20. The reverse locking component 20 is used to lock the inner platform 31 and the outer tube 32 when the centrifugal drive component 4 drives the inner platform 31 to rotate counterclockwise. The reverse locking component 20 is released when the centrifugal drive component 4 drives the inner platform 31 to rotate clockwise.

[0058] The reverse locking assembly 20 includes a plurality of torsion bars 10 arranged in a ring on the bottom surface of the inner platform 31. One end of the torsion bar 10 is mounted on the inner platform 31 via a torsion spring shaft 11. The bottom inner circumferential surface of the outer sleeve 32 is provided with corrugated teeth 12 that engage with the other end of the torsion bar 10. When the centrifugal drive assembly 4 drives the inner platform 31 to rotate counterclockwise, the corrugated teeth 12 prevent the end of the torsion bar 10 from rotating.

[0059] The inner platform 31 is equipped with a clamping displacement assembly 7, which includes a pneumatic cylinder 71 mounted on the axis of the inner platform 31. The output end of the pneumatic cylinder 71 is equipped with a clamping plate 72 and a connecting rod 74 connected to the clamping member 6 at one end. A guide rail groove 73 is provided on the inner wall of the second groove 35 along the length of the second groove 35, and the connecting rod 74 is disposed in the guide rail groove 73. When the centrifugal drive assembly 4 drives the inner platform 31 to rotate at a fixed central angle, the connecting rod 74 is positioned in the clamping position of the clamping plate 72, and the pneumatic cylinder 71 is used to drive the clamping plate 72 to clamp the connecting rod 74 and move it along the guide rail groove 73.

[0060] Among them, the pneumatic cylinder 71 is rotatably connected to the inner platform 31.

[0061] A cover 13 is installed on the placement seat 3. An arc-shaped slot 14 is provided on the upper surface of the cover 13, and an opening and closing cover 15 that matches the arc-shaped slot 14 is provided on the arc-shaped slot 14. The two ends of the opening and closing cover 15 are connected to the output end of the pneumatic cylinder 71 through a multi-segment hinge rod 16.

[0062] The drive output end of the pneumatic cylinder 71 moves up and down, driving the multi-segment hinge rod 16 to realize the opening and closing action between the cover 15 and the arc-shaped slot 14;

[0063] The top of the pneumatic cylinder 71 is fixedly connected to the cover 13, and the arc-shaped groove is located at the top of the column cavity 5.

[0064] The clamping member 6 includes a plug 61 that is slidably connected to the second groove 35. A positioning hole 62 is provided in the middle of the top of the plug 61, and the positioning hole 62 is funnel-shaped on the top surface of the plug 61.

[0065] The thickness of the wiping pad 34 is greater than the radius of the column cavity 5, and the cross-section of the wiping pad 34 is an isosceles trapezoid. The waist surface of the wiping pad 34 is tangent to the long edge of the first groove 34, and the surface of the inner platform 31 is provided with a groove that matches the wiping pad 34.

[0066] A perforated plate 8 is provided at the connection between the disinfectant level control chamber 1 and the placement seat 3. Its main purpose is to support the position of the inner platform 31 and the outer tube 32 in the placement chamber 2, and at the same time, it allows the disinfectant to enter the gap and thus enter the column cavity 5.

[0067] The bottom circumferential surface of the outer tube 32 is mounted on the perforated plate 8 via a one-way bearing 9, which is used to enable the outer tube 32 to rotate counterclockwise in the circumferential direction.

[0068] Furthermore, this invention utilizes centrifugal drying to return the mercury column inside the thermometer to its original position. The longitudinal section of the placement cavity 2 is an isosceles trapezoid, and the placement seat 3 is a frustum structure that mates with the placement cavity 2. Multiple cylindrical cavities 5 are arranged in a ring inside the placement seat 3, and the cylindrical cavities 5 are parallel to the waistline of the placement seat 3. As long as there is a certain angle between the cylindrical cavity 5 and the horizontal plane, the mercury column can be returned to its original position simultaneously with the centrifugal action. Therefore, the cylindrical cavities 5 can be completely set to be parallel to the horizontal plane, that is, the cylindrical cavities 5 are arranged in a ring on the surface of the placement seat 3.

[0069] In order to properly fix and install the placement seat 3, a perforated plate 8 is provided at the connection between the placement cavity 2 and the disinfectant level control cavity 1. The placement seat 3 is installed on the perforated plate 8, and the hole on the perforated plate 8 will connect the placement cavity 2 and the column cavity 5.

[0070] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, further, in order to thoroughly clean the thermometer during centrifugal operation, the placement seat 3 includes an inner platform 31 and an outer tube 32. Multiple first grooves 33 are evenly spaced on the inner wall of the outer tube 32. A wiping pad 34 is provided between adjacent first grooves 33 along the width direction of the inner wall of the outer tube 32. Multiple second grooves 35 are evenly spaced on the outer wall of the inner platform 31, and each second groove 35 corresponds to one of the first grooves 33. The first grooves 33 and the second grooves 35 constitute a cylindrical cavity 5. The outer tube 32 is connected to the perforated plate 8, and the centrifugal drive assembly 4 is connected to and drives the inner platform 31 to rotate.

[0071] Its specific working principle combined with the centrifugal drive component is as follows:

[0072] When the thermometer cleaning state is entered (at this time, by default, there are thermometers in the column cavity 5, and the column cavity 5 has been soaked in disinfectant), the centrifugal drive assembly 4 drives the inner platform 31 to rotate (the outer tube 32 is relatively stationary), and the second tank 35 rotates to the position where the wiping pad 34 is located. At this time, the centrifugal drive assembly 4 can be controlled to drive the inner platform 31 to rotate back and forth, so that the thermometer and the wiping pad 34 come into contact back and forth, thereby completing the wiping and cleaning of the surface of the thermometer (at this time, the thermometer can be rotated and installed in the column cavity 5).

[0073] The thickness of the wiping pad 34 (the width along the radial direction of the inner platform 31) is slightly larger than the radius of the column cavity 5, and the cross-section of the wiping pad 34 is an isosceles trapezoid, which facilitates the rotational contact of the edge of the second groove 35 with the wiping pad 34 during the rotation process, and at the same time compresses the wiping pad 34, during which the wiping pad 34 can be cleaned.

[0074] When entering the centrifugation state, the inner platform 31 cannot generate high-speed friction with the outer tube 32. Therefore, during this process, it is necessary to connect the inner platform 31 and the outer tube 32 into a whole. Therefore, it is considered to distinguish the thermometer cleaning state and the centrifugation state by the forward and reverse rotation (clockwise and counterclockwise rotation) of the centrifugation drive component 4. It is agreed that in the cleaning state (reverse rotation), the outer tube 32 is relatively stationary relative to the inner platform 31, and in the centrifugation state (forward rotation), the outer tube 32 and the inner platform 31 are connected into a whole.

[0075] Therefore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a ratchet structure is adopted, wherein the bottom outer circumferential surface of the outer sleeve 32 is mounted on the perforated plate 8 via a one-way bearing 9, a torsion bar 10 is provided on the bottom circumferential surface of the inner platform 31, one end of the torsion bar 10 is mounted on the inner platform 31 via a torsion spring shaft 11, and a corrugated tooth 12 that mates with the end of the torsion bar 10 is provided on the bottom inner circumferential surface of the outer sleeve 32.

[0076] In other words, when the centrifugal drive assembly 4 rotates in the opposite direction, the end of the torsion bar 10 away from the torsion spring shaft 11 cannot obtain support force from the corrugated teeth 12, and the outer tube 32 remains relatively stationary between the inner platform 31 and the outer tube 32 when the centrifugal drive assembly 4 drives the inner platform 31 to rotate (limited by the one-way bearing 9).

[0077] When the centrifugal drive assembly 4 rotates in the forward direction, the end of the torsion bar 10 away from the torsion spring shaft 11 is embedded in the tooth groove of the corrugated tooth 12. The outer tube 32 rotates under the drive of the torsion bar 10 when the centrifugal drive assembly 4 drives the inner platform 31 to rotate (the one-way bearing 9 is released from its restriction), thus realizing synchronous rotation between the inner platform 31 and the outer tube 32.

[0078] Since this invention contains multiple cylindrical cavities 5 (multiple thermometers), the pushing and pulling of the thermometers out of and into the cylindrical cavities 5 can be achieved using both asynchronous and synchronous driving methods.

[0079] Asynchronous drive, a clamping displacement component 7 controls the pushing in and pushing out of a thermometer in a cylindrical cavity 5. It has large overall volume requirements and is suitable for hospital working environments where the frequency of taking and returning thermometers is relatively high.

[0080] Synchronous drive, with one clamping displacement component 7 controlling the pushing in and pushing out of multiple cylindrical chambers 5 of thermometers, is suitable for hospital work environments where the frequency of taking and returning thermometers is relatively infrequent. In this case, the device to be actively clamped (clamping displacement component 7) needs to be rotated to the operating position of each cylindrical chamber 5, or the device to be clamped (cylinder 5) needs to be rotated to the position of the clamping displacement component 7. That is to say, the position of the clamping displacement component 7 is relatively fixed.

[0081] Therefore, in conjunction with the fact that the inner platform 31 of the present invention already has the driving rotation state of the centrifugal drive assembly 4, the present invention further provides a clamping displacement assembly 7 including a pneumatic cylinder 71 disposed in the inner platform 31, and a clamping plate 72 (composed of two parallel plate structures with a gap in the middle, used to place the connecting rod 74 in the gap, thereby constraining the connecting rod 74 in the axial direction of the inner platform 31) installed at the end of the pneumatic cylinder 71; a guide rail groove 73 is provided on the inner wall of the second groove 35, and the connecting rod 74 is installed in the guide rail groove 73, with one end of the connecting rod 74 fixedly connected to the clamping member 6; wherein, when the centrifugal drive assembly 4 rotates the connecting rod 74 on the inner platform 31 to the clamping position of the clamping plate 72, the pneumatic cylinder 71 drives the clamping plate 72 to clamp the connecting rod 74 and move it along the guide rail groove 73, thereby pushing out or pushing in the thermometer in the column cavity 5.

[0082] To further explain, since the column cavity 5 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, in order to clamp and move all the connecting rods 74 in the column cavity 5 through the combination structure of a pneumatic cylinder 71 and a clamping plate 72, the length of the connecting rod 74 must be greater than the projected length of the column cavity 5 on the horizontal plane.

[0083] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention further provides an external part of the equipment with the above structure, namely, a cover 13 is installed on the placement cavity 2, the upper surface of the cover 13 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 14, and an opening and closing cover 15 that cooperates with the arc-shaped groove 14 is provided on the arc-shaped groove 14. The two ends of the opening and closing cover 15 are connected to the output end of the pneumatic cylinder 71 through a multi-segment hinge rod 16. The pneumatic cylinder 71 is used to realize the opening and closing action between the opening and closing cover 15 and the arc-shaped groove 14 by moving the multi-segment hinge rod 16 up and down. The fixed end of the pneumatic cylinder 71 is fixedly connected to the cover 13, and the arc-shaped groove is located at the top of the column cavity 5. The purpose is that when the pneumatic cylinder 71 pushes the thermometer out of the column cavity 5, the output end of the pneumatic cylinder 71 retracts upward, and the output end of the pneumatic cylinder 71 applies an action to the multi-segment hinge rod 16, so that the multi-segment hinge rod 16 pushes the opening and closing cover 15, so that the opening and closing cover 15 disengages from the arc-shaped slot 14. Conversely, the opening and closing cover 15 closes the arc-shaped slot 14, and the arc-shaped slot 14 provides an operating port for the user to take out and return the thermometer.

[0084] like Figure 5 As shown, the main function of the multi-segment articulated rod 16 is to convert the longitudinal transmission at the output end of the pneumatic cylinder 71 into a horizontal transmission, which can be easily achieved with existing technology.

[0085] To illustrate the specific function of the multi-segment articulated rod 16, the multi-segment articulated rod 16 includes a first connecting rod 161, a second connecting rod 164, and a third connecting rod 165. The first connecting rod 161 is provided with a torque-changing groove 163 along the length direction of the first connecting rod 161. A fixing bolt 162 is provided in the torque-changing groove 163, and the fixing bolt 162 is fixedly connected to the cover 13.

[0086] One end of the first connecting rod 161 is hinged to the middle of the end of the opening and closing cover 15, and the other end of the first connecting rod 161 is hinged to the second connecting rod 164. The other end of the second connecting rod 164 away from the first connecting rod 161 is hinged to the third connecting rod 165. The other end of the third connecting rod 165 away from the second connecting rod 164 is radially connected to the output shaft of the pneumatic cylinder 71.

[0087] Thus, the extension and retraction of the pneumatic rod 71 drives the first connecting rod 161, the second connecting rod 164 and the third connecting rod 165 to perform transmission, and the first connecting rod 161 causes the opening and closing cover 15 to perform opening and closing action with the arc-shaped slot 14 under the action of the torque changing groove 163.

[0088] In this invention, the clamping member 6 has a certain degree of foolproofness, the purpose of which is to allow the thermometer to be placed into the column cavity 5. The clamping member 6 includes a plug 61 that is slidably connected to the second groove 35. A positioning hole 62 is provided in the middle of the top of the plug 61, and the positioning hole 62 is funnel-shaped on the top surface of the plug 61.

[0089] When the thermometer is placed into the column cavity 5, the end of the thermometer will enter the positioning hole 62 through the funnel-shaped structure at the top of the positioning hole 62 to achieve self-positioning (by default, the thermometer is placed into the column cavity 5 in the specified direction).

[0090] Preferably, in this invention, the waist surface (side edge along the height direction of the outer tube 32) of the wiping pad 34 is tangent to the edge of the first groove 34 in the opposite direction of its length. In this way, when the inner platform 31 and the outer tube 32 rotate relative to each other, the edge of the second groove 35 gradually contacts the waist surface of the wiping pad 34 until the wiping pad 34 covers the second groove 35 and contacts the thermometer, and wipes the surface of the thermometer during the rotation.

[0091] In other words, the material of the wiping pad 34 needs to be soft and flexible, so the wiping pad 3 is made of hollow silicone or sponge material.

[0092] In order to maintain the shape of the swab 34 when not wiping body temperature, the surface of the inner base 31 is provided with a groove that matches the swab 34. After wiping by the centrifugal drive component, the swab 34 is separated from the second groove 35, which can avoid cross-infection.

[0093] When the centrifugal drive assembly 4 drives the inner platform 31 and the outer tube 32 to perform centrifugal action synchronously, the disinfectant absorbed in the wiping pad 34 after wiping can be centrifuged out separately. When the disinfectant in the disinfectant level control chamber 1 enters the placement chamber 2, it can also enter the slot independently, thereby cleaning the wiping pad 34.

[0094] To further explain, the disinfectant level control chamber 2 in this invention specifically includes a chamber and a pump body connected to the chamber via a water pipe (the pump body is connected to an external disinfectant supply device or storage tank via a water pipe). The chamber is provided with an inlet and an outlet. The pump body is used to pump disinfectant into the chamber, thereby inputting and discharging disinfectant into the chamber 2.

[0095] To further explain, the clamping displacement component 7 in this invention is used to receive control signals to push the thermometer into and out of the column cavity 5, specifically relating to existing general basic control systems, including;

[0096] Central control module, tag module, drive control module, and cache module;

[0097] The label module includes a QR code or barcode set on the cover, which can be scanned by a mobile terminal to achieve wireless connection between the central control module and the mobile terminal.

[0098] The central control module obtains the operation request signal from the mobile terminal after scanning the tag module, and forms a control signal for the centrifugal drive component. This drive signal controls the rotation of the centrifugal drive component 4 and the operation of the clamping displacement component 7.

[0099] The cache module is used to record relevant log files and the status data of the thermometer in column cavity 2, such as whether it is empty, which columns are empty, etc., and then transmit them to the central control module.

[0100] The additional note is that the centrifugal drive component 4 in this invention is specifically a motor.

[0101] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. The scope of protection of this application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this application within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this application.
