When the unlocking push block moves downward, the second unlocking guide surface will move along the first unlocking guide surface, thereby driving the unlocking slider to move left, and finally making the embedded side block disengage from the embedded side groove to release the lock of the B-ultrasound probe; the second spring allows the unlocking push block to move upward to avoid hindering the rightward movement of the unlocking slider and the embedded side block; the air intake gap can maintain its own existence, so that the air sent in through the first air intake pipe can smoothly pass into the air intake gap.

[0047] 9. In the present invention, the middle partition can separate the independent unlocking inner hole and the driving inner hole to optimize the space utilization; the fixed horizontal plate as a fixed structure can not only separate the driving inner hole into the upper driving cavity and the lower driving cavity, but also play a role in supporting the ends of the upper spring and the lower spring; the elastic force of the upper spring is greater than that of the lower spring, and the main movable seat has a tendency to move upward; the setting of the lower spring can ensure the existence of the lower driving cavity, so that the air sent in through the second intake pipe can smoothly pass into the lower driving cavity.

[0086] This embodiment also discloses a method for using the B-ultrasound probe disinfection device, comprising the following steps:

[0087] The B-ultrasound probe 13 is placed in the inner locking main cavity 72 . Driven by the embedded side block 83 , the B-ultrasound probe 13 moves downward to be pressed and contacted with the disinfection cotton 12 on the table, thereby achieving disinfection of the B-ultrasound probe 13 .

[0088] The working principle of this embodiment is:

[0089] 1. The sterilizing cotton 12 placed on the discharge seat 22 can slide down to the right along the slope of the discharge seat 22 and fall into the placement recess 26; the first motor 34 works to drive the screw 32 to rotate, and then the screw block 33 will move upward, and then drive the first receiving block 23 and the second receiving block 24 to move upward; until the upper end of the second receiving block 24 is higher than the third receiving block 42, at this time, the sterilizing cotton 12 will slide down the third inclined surface 421 to the conveyor belt 44.

[0090] 2. The conveyor belt 44 moves forward driven by the second motor 43, and the disinfection cotton 12 is conveyed forward; the infrared transceiver sensor 45 can detect the position of the disinfection cotton 12, and then delays driving the third motor 511 to work. When the disinfection cotton 12 moves to the temporary storage interval 54 of the toggle wheel 52, the third motor 511 works just right, and the toggle wheel 52 rotates counterclockwise to push the disinfection cotton 12 in the temporary storage interval 54 out to the right.

[0091] 3. The disinfection cotton 12 is moved onto the guide path 61 by the rotating wheel 52 , and then slides rightward along the slope of the guide path 61 , and finally falls onto the disinfection contact surface 631 of the disinfection table 63 .

[0092] 4. The solenoid valve 641 is opened for a certain period of time, and the disinfectant can flow through the solenoid valve 641 to the drainage channel 65, and then flow along the drainage channel 65 into the disinfection cotton 12 on the disinfection table 63, so as to realize the combination of the disinfection cotton 12 and the disinfectant;

[0093] 5. When the B-ultrasound probe 13 needs to be disinfected after use, the B-ultrasound probe 13 is placed in the inner locking main cavity 72; during the downward insertion of the B-ultrasound probe 13, the B-ultrasound probe 13 will contact the inner moving guide surface 831 of the embedded side block 83, and then follow the inner moving guide surface 831 to allow the embedded side block 83 to gradually move inward and hide in the main movable hole 82; the B-ultrasound probe 13 moves downward smoothly until the embedded side groove 84 corresponds to the position of the main movable hole 82, at this time, the embedded side block 83 will just extend into the embedded side groove 84 under the thrust of the first spring 854, completing the locking of the B-ultrasound probe 13.

[0094] 6. Turn on the air pump on the operating terminal to allow air to enter the second air inlet pipe 96. The air in the second air inlet pipe 96 will then enter the lower driving chamber 942 through the second air inlet duct. After the air fills the lower driving chamber 942, it will push the entire main movable seat 81 downward, and will also drive the B-ultrasound probe 13 to move downward, so that the B-ultrasound probe 13 is squeezed and contacted with the disinfection cotton 12 with disinfectant to complete the disinfection.

[0095] 7. After the disinfection is completed, turn off the air pump, and the main movable seat 81 moves up under the thrust of the upper spring 951 to separate the B-ultrasound probe 13 from the disinfection cotton 12; the fourth motor controls the disinfection table 63 to flip 180 degrees from the initial state, and the disinfection contact surface 631 faces vertically downward, and the disinfection cotton 12 on the disinfection contact surface 631 will fall down into the waste basket 14 to achieve cleaning.

[0096] 8. When the disinfected B-ultrasound probe 13 needs to be used, turn on the air pump on the operation terminal (or the air pump will automatically turn on after the B-ultrasound probe 13 is disinfected) to allow air to enter the first air inlet pipe 892. The air in the first air inlet pipe 892 will then enter the air inlet gap 891 through the first air inlet duct 893. After the air fills the air inlet gap 891, it will push the unlocking push block 872 downward, and the second unlocking guide surface 8721 will move along the first unlocking guide surface 861, thereby driving the unlocking slider 86 to move left, and finally making the embedded side block 83 disengage from the embedded side groove 84 to release the lock of the B-ultrasound probe 13; then, when the B-ultrasound probe 13 needs to be used, pull out the B-ultrasound probe 13.

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by the patent law.
