[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a storage box for medical disinfection and a method of using the same to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by the present invention is: A storage box for medical disinfection comprises a storage mechanism and a disinfection mechanism, wherein the storage mechanism comprises a storage box for storing medical devices, and the disinfection mechanism comprises a disinfection box, wherein a medicine storage tank, a pressurizing tank, and a heating tank are installed inside the disinfection box, wherein liquid medicine is stored in the medicine storage tank and is connected to the pressurizing tank, a compressor is installed on the top surface of the pressurizing tank and is connected to the heating tank, an evaporating element is installed in the heating tank and is connected to a first solenoid valve on the outside, a free end of the first solenoid valve is connected to a three-pronged pipe, four groups of branch pipes are installed on the outside of the three-pronged pipe, and the four groups of branch pipes are located inside the storage box, and air outlet holes are opened on the outside of the four groups of branch pipes.

[0005] Specifically, the drug solution is hydrogen peroxide with a concentration of 30% to 35%.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, first pipes are installed on the outer sides of the medicine storage tank and the pressurized tank near their respective bottom surfaces, and a second solenoid valve is connected between the first pipes.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the outer side of the pressurized tank is connected to a third solenoid valve near its bottom surface, the top surface of the heating tank is connected to a first pump, and a second pipe is connected between the input end of the first pump and the free end of the third solenoid valve.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the evaporating element includes a heater installed at the bottom of the heating tank and a metal cover installed on the heater.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a water storage tank is also installed inside the disinfection box, the outside of the water storage tank is connected to a second pump, the inner wall of the storage box is installed with an atomizing nozzle through a fourth solenoid valve, a third pipe is connected between the output end of the second pump and the free end of the fourth solenoid valve, and a humidity sensor is also installed on the inner wall of the storage box.

[0010] Specifically, the humidity sensor is connected to a controller outside the device via an ADC analog-to-digital converter, and medical staff can know the humidity in the storage box through the controller.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the top surface of the medicine storage tank is connected to a medicine inlet pipe through a one-way valve, and the top surface of the water storage tank is connected to a water inlet pipe through a one-way valve, and the medicine inlet pipe and the water inlet pipe are both located outside the disinfection box.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, liquid level sensors are installed on the outer sides of the medicine storage tank and the water storage tank near their respective bottom surfaces.

[0013] Specifically, the liquid level sensor is connected to a controller outside the device through an ADC analog-to-digital converter. Medical staff can know the liquid level in the medicine storage tank and water storage tank through the controller and replenish the medicine and clean water in time.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a box door is hingedly connected to the outer side of the storage box via a hinge, and a mesh partition plate is installed inside the storage box.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, an LED lamp is installed on the inner top of the storage box, a magnet is installed on one side of the box door, a reed sensor is embedded on the outer side of the storage box, and the magnet and the reed sensor are adsorbed to each other.

[0016] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for using a medical disinfection storage box, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Add hydrogen peroxide and clean water into the medicine storage tank and water storage tank through the medicine inlet pipe and water inlet pipe; Step 2: Start the second pump to pump clean water into the atomizing nozzle, which sprays clean water in the form of mist to increase the humidity in the storage box. The real-time humidity in the storage box is monitored by the humidity sensor. When the humidity reaches the required level, turn off the second pump to keep the storage box in a relatively humid state, so as to increase the diffusion degree of hydrogen peroxide vapor in the storage box. Step 3: Open the second solenoid valve, and the hydrogen peroxide flows into the pressure tank through a pair of first pipes. Then start the compressor to make the hydrogen peroxide become high-pressure. Then start the heater to heat the metal cover. Then open the third solenoid valve and the first solenoid valve and start the second pump to make the high-pressure hydrogen peroxide flow into the heating tank. Since the pressure of the heating tank is lower than that of the hydrogen peroxide at this time, the boiling point of the hydrogen peroxide will drop instantly. After it falls into the metal cover, it will boil and vaporize instantly. The vapor-like hydrogen peroxide passes through the three-pronged pipe and four sets of branch pipes, and finally sprays out from the air outlet. Step 4: Open the box door. At this time, the magnet is away from the reed sensor. The two iron sheets in the reed sensor are in contact with each other, and the current can pass through the LED light, thereby lighting up the internal space of the storage box. The medical staff will then place the medical equipment on the mesh partition board and the bottom of the storage box, and then close the box door, so that the gaseous hydrogen peroxide can sterilize and disinfect the medical equipment. Step 5: Open the box door and take out the sterilized medical devices.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the medical disinfection storage box and the use method thereof, by sequentially transferring the medicine liquid in the medicine storage tank to the pressure tank and the heating tank, the medicine liquid is pressurized by the compressor in the pressure tank, and after flowing into the heating tank, the boiling point of the medicine liquid at this time will be instantly reduced because the high-pressure medicine liquid enters the heating tank with a relatively low pressure, and after it falls into the metal cover heated by the heater, it will instantly boil and vaporize, and the medicine liquid in a steam state will finally flow into the storage box, and disinfect the medical devices in the storage box in a spray state, thereby avoiding the problem of inconvenience in taking out the medical devices due to immersion in the disinfectant.
