Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hand sanitizer technology, and in particular relates to a hand sanitizer with a settable date. Background Technology

[0002] Surgical disinfectants generally have a very short shelf life, but are used in large quantities during surgery. Therefore, an expiration date is usually written by hand. However, this handwritten date is easily wetted or rubbed off and becomes illegible, or the label may fall off or be covered up. It needs to be replaced manually as the expiration date approaches. Therefore, it is impossible to ensure the accuracy of the time, and it is also impossible to control the accuracy of the label date.

[0003] To address this issue, we propose a date-settable hand sanitizer. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing a hand sanitizer with a settable date.

[0008] In the aforementioned date-settable hand sanitizer, the timing component includes an inner cavity, a first timer, a first drive motor, and a first threaded rod. The first drive motor is fixed in the inner cavity, and the first threaded rod is fixedly connected to the first drive motor. A first movable block is threaded onto the first threaded rod, and the first timer is electrically connected to the first drive motor. A first trigger rod is inserted into the locking block, and the first trigger rod abuts against the first movable block. One end of the first trigger rod extends into the hand sanitizer bottle, and the first trigger rod abuts against a movable button.

[0009] In the aforementioned date-settable hand sanitizer, the groove is provided on the side wall of the hand sanitizer bottle.

[0010] In the aforementioned date-settable hand sanitizer, the trigger assembly head includes a second channel disposed on the inner wall of the hand sanitizer bottle. The second channel is connected to the suction tube. A notch is vertically provided on the second channel, and a movable plug is inserted into the notch. The movable plug has a perforation for docking with the second channel.

[0011] In the aforementioned date-settable hand sanitizer, a spring is fixedly connected to the movable stopper, and the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the notch.

[0012] In the aforementioned date-settable hand sanitizer, the timing component includes a retainer, a connecting strip, and a second timer. The retainer engages with the bottom of the hand sanitizer bottle, the connecting strip is fixed to the edge of the retainer, and the upper end of the retainer is fixedly connected to a fitting block. The fitting block has a chamber, in which a second drive motor is fixedly connected. A second threaded rod is fixedly connected to the second drive motor, and a second movable block is threaded onto the second threaded rod. A second trigger rod is inserted into the fitting block, and the second trigger rod abuts against the second movable block. One end of the second trigger rod extends into the hand sanitizer bottle and passes through a spring to abut against a movable plug. The upper end of the fitting block has a groove.

[0015] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this date-settable hand sanitizer are:

[0016] 1. This invention utilizes a timer, a drive motor, a trigger rod, and a suction tube to control the start of the drive motor. This, in turn, causes the drive motor to move the trigger rod to control the opening and closing of the suction tube. This allows for automatic reminders for the surgical hand sanitizer via timing and automatic locking of the hand sanitizer to prevent it from being triggered again. This eliminates the need for manual labeling, ensuring date accuracy and preventing overdue replacement.

[0017] 2. This invention utilizes the coordination of a first gear, a knob, a second gear, and a fixing strip to control the first gear via the knob, and then manipulates the timer through the meshing of the first and second gears, achieving the effect of adjusting the timing setting. Furthermore, the fixing / breaking of the fixing strip allows the knob to control / not control the first gear, thus preventing the date reminder from being modified. Simultaneously, the hand sanitizer dispenser is also rendered unusable, enhancing its adjustability and improving safety during use, preventing the hand sanitizer from being repeatedly reused.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Surgical disinfectants generally have a short shelf life, but are used in large quantities during surgery. Therefore, an expiration date is usually handwritten. However, handwritten labels are easily wetted, rubbed off, or become illegible, or they may fall off or be covered up. They need to be manually replaced near the expiration date. Therefore, it's impossible to ensure the accuracy of the date on the label, and it's also impossible to control the accuracy of the date on the label. Figure 1-11 As shown, this solution designs a hand sanitizer with a settable date, including a hand sanitizer bottle 1, a pressing head 2, and a suction tube 3. The hand sanitizer bottle 1 is a traditional plastic bottle. The pressing head 2 is threaded onto the hand sanitizer bottle 1. The pressing head 2 includes a pressing component and a pressing head, etc. The hand sanitizer is sprayed out by pressing the pressing head 2. At the same time, the suction tube 3 is fixedly connected to the pressing head 2 and communicates with it, so that the suction tube 3 draws water from the bottom of the hand sanitizer bottle 1.

[0033] To achieve the locking function of the hand sanitizer bottle 1, ensuring that the expiration date is noticed after labeling, a trigger assembly head 4 is provided inside the hand sanitizer bottle 1. The trigger assembly head 4 is located at the inner bottom of the hand sanitizer bottle 1. Specifically, the trigger assembly head 4 includes a protrusion 8 at the inner bottom of the hand sanitizer bottle 1, protruding from the bottom of the hand sanitizer bottle 1. A first channel 9 is provided within the protrusion 8, connecting the first channel 9 to a suction tube 3. The first channel 9 draws in hand sanitizer through the suction tube 3. The first channel 9 is horizontally positioned, with the end furthest from the suction tube 3 being closed. A [further details about the first channel 9 are missing]. The movable button 10 is connected to the first channel 9. One end of the movable button 10 protrudes from the protrusion 8 and extends to the outside of the protrusion 8. The movable button 10 is perpendicular to the first channel 9, and its exposed position is also perpendicular to the first channel 9. The movable button 10 is hollow and cap-shaped. The movable button 10 has a perforation. Therefore, after the movable button 10 pushes out of the first channel 9, it can connect the first channel 9 and the hand sanitizer bottle 1 through the perforation. The movable button 10 is made of metal and has a certain weight. Under the influence of no external force, the movable button 10 falls completely into the first channel 9 and seals the first channel 9.

[0034] The timing method is as follows: the active button 10 is movably connected to the timing component 6, and the active button 10 is controlled by the timing component 6. The outer wall of the hand sanitizer bottle 1 is provided with a groove, which is located at the bottom of the hand sanitizer bottle 1. The groove is provided with a fitting block 5, which is locked to the groove. The timing component 6 is provided in the fitting block 5, and one end of the timing component 6 extends to the outside of the fitting block 5 and is connected to the trigger assembly head 4 to directly control the active button 10.

[0035] Specifically, the timing component 6 includes an inner cavity disposed inside the fitting block 5, a first timer 11, a first drive motor 12, and a first threaded rod 13. The first drive motor 12 is fixed in the inner cavity and is a micro motor. The first threaded rod 13 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the first drive motor 12. At the same time, a first movable block 14 is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 13. The upper end of the movable block 14 is arc-shaped, and its side wall contacts and limits the inner cavity. The first timer 11 is electrically connected to the first drive motor 12. The first timer 11 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The first timer 11 is set by exposing a protrusion at the top. The counting content (timer) of the first timer 11 is controlled by rotating the protrusion. After the first timer 11 is set, the first drive motor 12 is triggered to rotate and drive the first threaded rod 13, so that the first movable block 14 can achieve directional movement. A first trigger rod 15 is inserted on the fitting block 5, and the first trigger rod 15 abuts against the first movable block 14.

[0036] One end of the first trigger lever 15 extends into the hand sanitizer bottle 1, and the first trigger lever 15 abuts against the movable button 10. Since the upper end of the movable block 14 is arc-shaped, the extension and retraction of the first trigger lever 15 can be controlled. When the first trigger lever 15 pushes up the movable button 10, the movable button 10 remains connected to the first channel 9. After the first trigger lever 15 retracts, the movable button 10 disengages from the first trigger lever 15, thus closing the first channel 9 and automatically locking the hand sanitizer to prevent it from being triggered again. This eliminates the need for manual label reminders, ensuring the accuracy of the date and preventing overdue replacement. In addition, to improve the clarity of information, a label can still be used to temporarily set the time content. A button battery 7 is installed on the interlocking block 5 to power the first drive motor 12 and the first timer 11. The button battery 7 can be replaced for repeated use. Only the upper hand sanitizer bottle 1 needs to be replaced.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] In the above embodiment 1, only a certain time-locking function is available, and the control of the first timer 11 by medical staff is adjustable. This would cause the hand sanitizer bottle 1 to still be misused after being reset. Therefore, in this embodiment 2, the groove is set on the side wall of the hand sanitizer bottle 1.

[0039] The trigger assembly head 4 is similar to that in Embodiment 1, but it is located on the side. It mainly includes a second channel 16 on the inner wall of the hand sanitizer bottle 1. The second channel 16 is connected to the suction tube 3. The second channel 16 is fitted into the middle of the suction tube 3 to control the opening and closing. A notch is vertically provided on the second channel 16. A movable plug 17 is inserted into the notch. A spring 18 is fixedly connected to the movable plug 17. The spring 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the notch. The movable plug 17 is also provided with a perforation for docking with the second channel 16. Therefore, the second channel 16 can only remain unobstructed after the perforation on the movable plug 17 is connected. Under the action of the spring 18, the movable plug 17 normally keeps the second channel 16 closed.

[0040] The timing component 6 includes a card holder 19, a connecting strip 20, and a second timer 21. The card holder 19 is engaged with the bottom of the hand sanitizer bottle 1 and is used to fix the hand sanitizer bottle 1. The connecting strip 20 is fixed to the edge of the card holder 19 and the upper end of the card holder 19 is fixedly connected to the interlocking block 5. The connecting strip 20 is made of rubber and is used to flexibly connect the interlocking block 5 so that it can move.

[0041] The fitting block 5 has a cavity, in which a second drive motor 22 is fixedly connected. A second threaded rod 23 is fixedly connected to the second drive motor 22, and a second movable block 24 is threadedly connected to the second threaded rod 23. A second trigger rod 25 is inserted into the fitting block 5. The second trigger rod 25 abuts against the second movable block 24. One end of the second trigger rod 25 extends into the hand sanitizer bottle 1, and the second trigger rod 25 passes through the spring 18 and abuts against the movable plug 17. Similar to Embodiment 1, the movement of the second movable block 24 is controlled by controlling the second drive motor 22, which in turn drives the extension and retraction of the second threaded rod 23. The spring 18 controls the position of the movable plug 17. When the second trigger rod 25 disengages from the movable plug 17, the movable plug 17 rebounds and blocks the second channel 16, thereby locking the hand sanitizer bottle 1 and preventing it from dispensing hand sanitizer.

[0042] In addition, to limit the number of times the hand sanitizer bottle 1 can be used, a groove is provided at the upper end of the fitting block 5. A first gear 26 is rotatably fitted inside the side wall of the hand sanitizer bottle 1. A connecting rod 27 is fixed to the first gear 26, and a knob 28 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 27. Multiple fixing strips 32 are fixedly connected between the knob 28 and the connecting rod 27. A second gear 29 that meshes with the first gear 26 is rotatably fitted inside the groove. A second timer 21 is set inside the fitting block 5 and electrically connected to the second drive motor 22. The trigger end is fixedly connected to the second gear 29. Therefore, the second timer 21 can only be operated when the first gear 26 and the second gear 29 are meshed. The first gear 26 is controlled by the knob 28. When setting, the knob 28 is rotated to control the second timer 21. After setting, the knob 28 is pressed, causing the fixing strip 32 fixedly connected to the knob 28 to break. As a result, the connecting rod 27 cannot be controlled, and the knob 28 can only rotate freely. Therefore, the hand sanitizer bottle 1 cannot be reused and a new hand sanitizer bottle 1 must be replaced.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] To enhance the reminder effect in Embodiment 2, the interlocking block 5 is circular in shape and is divided into a first part 30 and a second part 31. The first part 30 and the second part 31 are rotatably connected to each other. The button battery 7 is placed on the second part 31, which is convenient for both covering and replacement. At the same time, a display screen is installed on the surface of the first part 30 (since it is reusable, the cost can be disregarded). When the timer is set, the display screen can show the timer numbers and display the status through color, such as green, yellow, and red, which represent different stages in turn, replacing the traditional label setting. A buzzer can also be installed in the second part 31 for voice reminders to enhance the reminder effect.

[0045] Although this document frequently uses terms such as hand sanitizer bottle 1, pressing head 2, suction tube 3, trigger assembly head 4, interlocking block 5, timing component 6, button battery 7, protrusion 8, first channel 9, movable button 10, first timer 11, first drive motor 12, first threaded rod 13, first movable block 14, first trigger rod 15, second channel 16, movable plug 17, spring 18, card holder 19, connecting strip 20, second timer 21, second drive motor 22, second threaded rod 23, second movable block 24, second trigger rod 25, first gear 26, connecting rod 27, knob 28, second gear 29, first part 30, second part 31, fixing strip 32, etc., the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. The use of these terms is merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of the invention; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of the invention.
