Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical device disinfection, and in particular to a device for disinfecting abdominal surgical instruments. Background Art

[0002] Thorough disinfection of surgical instruments is crucial to ensure the safety and success of surgery and prevent cross infection. Especially in abdominal surgery, surgical instruments are of various types and complex structures, which places extremely high demands on the disinfection of surgical instruments.

[0003] However, in common surgical instrument sterilization box usage scenarios, surgical instruments are often in a loose state during the cleaning process. Since the cleaning process is often accompanied by the impact of water flow, vibration of equipment, and mutual friction between instruments, surgical instruments are very prone to collision. These collisions may cause damage such as blunting of the instrument's cutting edge, damage to the surface coating, and deformation of precision parts, thereby reducing the performance and service life of the surgical instrument.

[0004] Chinese patent application CN116726219A discloses a disinfection device for an operating room, which can clean surgical instruments in multiple directions and angles by clamping them on an instrument holder, making the cleaning more complete. However, the instrument holder in the patent always clamps and fixes the surgical instruments during the entire cleaning process, which avoids collisions between instruments, but results in the clamped parts not being fully cleaned, resulting in incomplete cleaning of the surgical instruments, which affects the subsequent safe use. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides an abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device to solve the problem that when the existing disinfection device cleans the surgical instrument, the instrument clamping frame always clamps and fixes the surgical instrument during the entire cleaning process, resulting in the clamped part cannot be fully cleaned.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting platform is installed in the shell through the base, and the base is snap-connected with the shell.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping arm can slide along its own axis on the mounting table, and the sliding of the clamping arm along its own axis on the mounting table can switch the abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device from the first state to the second state.

[0011] Furthermore, the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw are both elastic, the first clamping jaw has a first notch and a first clamping opening, the first notch is connected to the first clamping opening, the second clamping jaw has a second notch and a second clamping opening, the second notch is connected to the second clamping opening.

[0015] Furthermore, the first notch is smaller than the second notch.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: an abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device of the present invention arranges two clamps in an outer shell. When cleaning the surgical instrument, the first clamp is firstly clamped by the first jaw of the first clamp and the first jaw of the second clamp.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] An embodiment of a device for sterilizing abdominal surgical instruments of the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 to 8 shown.

[0022] A device for sterilizing abdominal surgical instruments includes a housing 100, a sterilizing system and two clamps 200. Both clamps 200 are installed in the housing 100. The clamps 200 include a mounting platform 210 and a clamping arm 220. The mounting platform 210 is arranged in the housing 100 along a first direction, and the first direction is a vertical direction. The clamping arm 220 is a U-shaped structure, and the clamping arm 220 is installed on the mounting platform 210. The clamping arm 220 has two clamps, and the clamps can clamp surgical instruments. The sterilizing system is installed in the housing 100, and is used to spray cleaning fluid on surgical instruments. The sterilizing system is a prior art, and specifically may include a cleaning device for spraying cleaning fluid, as well as an ultraviolet disinfection lamp, a drying device, etc., which is not shown in the attached drawings of the sterilizing system.

[0023] The two clamps 200 are respectively referred to as the first clamp and the second clamp, and the two jaws are respectively referred to as the first jaw 230 and the second jaw 240. The abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the first jaw 230 of the first clamp and the first jaw 230 of the second clamp clamp the surgical instrument, and in the second state, the second jaw 240 of the first clamp and the second jaw 240 of the second clamp clamp the surgical instrument. In the initial state, the abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device is in the first state.

[0024] Specifically, a cover plate 110 is disposed on the housing 100. The upper end of the housing 100 is open, and the lower end is closed, and the cover plate 110 is connected to the housing 100 by snap fastening.

[0025] In this embodiment, two clamps 200 are arranged in the shell 100. When cleaning the surgical instrument, the first jaw 230 of the first clamp and the first jaw 230 of the second clamp are first used to clamp the surgical instrument. At this time, the abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device is in the first state. Then the disinfection system is started to start cleaning the surgical instrument. During the cleaning process, the second jaw 240 of the first clamp replaces the first jaw 230 of the first clamp to clamp the surgical instrument, and the second jaw 240 of the second clamp replaces the first jaw 230 of the second clamp to clamp the surgical instrument. That is, the abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device is in the second state until the cleaning of the surgical instrument is completed.

[0026] During the cleaning process of the surgical instrument, the two clamps 200 work together to fully expose and clean the parts that were originally clamped and difficult to clean, so that the surgical instrument can be cleaned more thoroughly. In the cleaning process, the surgical instrument is clamped by the first jaw 230 of the first clamp and the first jaw 230 of the second clamp, or the second jaw 240 of the first clamp and the second jaw 240 of the second clamp, which can improve the stability of the clamping of the surgical instrument and enable the surgical instrument to remain in place when facing external interference factors such as the impact of cleaning water flow and vibration of equipment operation.

[0027] In this embodiment, the mounting platform 210 is installed in the housing 100 via the base 250 , and the base 250 is snap-connected with the housing 100 .

[0028] Furthermore, the mounting platform 210 is mounted on the base 250 via a bearing, so that the mounting platform 210 can rotate around its own axis on the base 250 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the base 250 is clamped in the housing 100, and the position of the base 250 can be changed as needed during use to adapt to different surgical instruments. The orientation of the clamping arm 220 can be changed by rotating the mounting table 210 to adapt to different surgical instruments, thereby increasing the scope of application of the abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device.

[0030] In this embodiment, the density of the first jaw 230 is greater than the density of the cleaning fluid, and the density of the second jaw 240 is less than the density of the cleaning fluid, that is, the density of the first jaw 230 is greater than the density of the second jaw 240, and the second jaw 240 can float on the cleaning fluid. The mass of the first jaw 230 is less than the mass of the second jaw 240, and when the abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device is in the first state, the first jaw 230 is located above the second jaw 240; when the abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device is in the second state, the second jaw 240 is located above the first jaw 230.

[0031] Specifically, the clamping arm 220 can slide along its own axis on the mounting platform 210, and the sliding of the clamping arm 220 along its own axis on the mounting platform 210 can switch the abdominal surgical instrument sterilization device from the first state to the second state.

[0032] In this embodiment, the density of the first clamping jaw 230 is greater than the density of the second clamping jaw 240, and the mass of the first clamping jaw 230 is less than the mass of the second clamping jaw 240. Before the disinfection system is started, there is no cleaning liquid in the housing 100, so the second clamping jaw 240 will deflect under the action of its own gravity, so that the first clamping jaw 230 is located above the second clamping jaw 240 in a natural state, see the attached Figure 6 shown.

[0033] After the surgical instrument is clamped to the first jaw 230 of the first clamp and the first jaw 230 of the second clamp, the disinfection system is started. As the cleaning fluid in the housing 100 continues to increase, when the liquid level of the cleaning fluid reaches the position of the second jaw 240, the second jaw 240 will move upward under the action of buoyancy, and prompt the clamping arm 220 to slide along its own axis on the mounting table 210, thereby moving the first jaw 230 downward. Until the second jaw 240 clamps the surgical instrument under the action of buoyancy. And because the density of the first jaw 230 is greater than the density of the cleaning fluid, after the second jaw 240 clamps the surgical instrument, the first jaw 230 will gradually disengage from the surgical instrument under the action of buoyancy and its own gravity until the second jaw 240 is located above the first jaw 230, see attached. Figure 8 As shown, at this time, the abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device switches from the first state to the second state.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first clamping jaw 230 and the second clamping jaw 240 are both elastic. The first clamping jaw 230 has a first notch 231 and a first clamping opening 232 . The first notch 231 is connected to the first clamping opening 232 , so that surgical instruments can enter the first clamping opening 232 from the first notch 231 .

[0035] The second clamping jaw 240 has a second notch 241 and a second clamping opening 242 . The second notch 241 is in communication with the second clamping opening 242 , so that a surgical instrument can enter the second clamping opening 242 from the second notch 241 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the first clamp and the second clamp are referred to as a clamping group. There are multiple clamping groups, and the multiple clamping groups are all installed in the housing 100 .

[0037] By setting up multiple clamping groups, multiple surgical instruments can be disinfected and cleaned at the same time, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0038] In another possible embodiment, the clamping arm 220 is provided with a first magnet 221 and a second magnet 222, the first magnet 221 is located on the side of the second magnet 222 close to the first clamping claw 230 in the axial direction of the clamping arm 220, and the mounting platform 210 is provided with a third magnet 211 and a fourth magnet 212. The first magnet 221 can be attracted to the third magnet 211, and the second magnet 222 can be attracted to the fourth magnet 212. When the abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device is in the first state, the second magnet 222 is attracted to the fourth magnet 212, and when the abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device is in the second state, the first magnet 221 is attracted to the third magnet 211.

[0039] In this embodiment, a first magnet 221 and a second magnet 222 are arranged on the clamping arm 220, and a third magnet 211 and a fourth magnet 212 are arranged on the mounting table 210. When the abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device is in the first state, the second magnet 222 and the fourth magnet 212 are attracted to limit the initial position of the clamping arm 220. As the cleaning fluid in the shell 100 continues to increase, when the liquid level of the cleaning fluid reaches the position of the second clamping jaw 240, the second clamping jaw 240 will move upward under the action of buoyancy. Since the second magnet 222 and the fourth magnet 212 are attracted to each other, the time for the second clamping jaw 240 to move upward can be delayed, so that the second clamping jaw 240 will rise only when the buoyancy is greater than the magnetic force, so that the part of the surgical instrument waiting to be clamped by the second clamping jaw 240 can be thoroughly cleaned, thereby ensuring the cleaning quality of the surgical instrument.

[0040] Similarly, when the second clamp 240 is upward and the first clamp 230 is downward to disengage the second magnet 222 and the fourth magnet 212 and attract the first magnet 221 and the third magnet 211, the abdominal surgical instrument disinfection device switches from the first state to the second state, and the position of the clamping arm 220 is restricted again through the cooperation of the first magnet 221 and the third magnet 211.

[0041] When cleaning is completed, the cleaning liquid is discharged. As the cleaning liquid level continues to drop, the second clamp 240 will also move down with the cleaning liquid level and overcome the magnetic force of the first magnet 221 and the third magnet 211, so that the clamping arm 220 is reset and the surgical instrument is clamped again by the first clamp 230 of the first clamp and the first clamp 230 of the second clamp.

[0042] In another possible embodiment, the first notch 231 is smaller than the second notch 241 , so that the surgical instrument needs external force to enter or leave the first clamping opening 232 through the first notch 231 , and the surgical instrument can freely enter or leave the second clamping opening 242 through the second notch 241 .

[0043] When in use, the operator first manually clamps the surgical instrument on the first clamp 230 of the first clamp and the second clamp 240 of the second clamp. As the cleaning fluid in the housing 100 increases, when the liquid level of the cleaning fluid reaches the position of the second clamp 240 of the clamp 200, the second clamp 240 will move upward under the action of buoyancy, and prompt the clamping arm 220 to slide along its own axis on the mounting table 210, thereby causing the first clamp 230 to move downward until the second clamp 240 clamps the surgical instrument under the action of buoyancy. And because the density of the first clamp 230 is greater than the density of the cleaning fluid, after the second clamp 240 clamps the surgical instrument, the first clamp 230 will gradually disengage from the surgical instrument under the action of buoyancy and its own gravity until the second clamp 240 is located above the first clamp 230.

[0044] After the second clamp 240 clamps the surgical instrument and the first clamp 230 is disengaged from the surgical instrument, the clamped portion of the surgical instrument continues to be cleaned until the surgical instrument is cleaned, and then the cleaning fluid is discharged. As the level of the cleaning fluid continues to drop, when the clamping arm 220 is reset, the first clamp 230 and the first clamp 230 clamp the surgical instrument again. Since the surgical instrument requires a certain external force to enter the first clamping port 232 through the first notch 231, at this time, since there is no additional force to prompt the surgical instrument to enter the first clamping port 232 from the first notch 231, the surgical instrument will be restricted between the first notch 231 and the first clamping port 232 and be held up by the first clamp 230, thereby making it convenient for the operator to remove the surgical instrument after cleaning.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
