By setting the feeding assembly 22, the material storage box 221 can be connected with the feeding pipe 222, the material distribution plate 223 and the dispersion fan blade 2 24 cooperates with the material storage box 221 to limit the feed pipe 222 and the dividing plate 223, so that the feed pipe 222 can be connected to an external catalyst delivery device to replenish the catalyst for the material storage box 221, and the dividing plate 223 can evenly deliver the catalyst to the discharge component 23, and the dispersion fan blades 224 can rotate through the air flow generated by the air delivery pipe 212, so that the catalyst can be evenly dispersed at the dividing plate 223, thereby improving the stability of the catalyst when it is evenly delivered to the discharge component 23.

[0057] Among them, the discharge component 23 includes an assembly frame 231, a storage bin 232 and a discharge nozzle 233. The assembly frame 231 is clamped at the bottom of the dividing plate 223, the storage bin 232 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the assembly frame 231, and the discharge nozzle 233 is connected to the bottom of the storage bin 232. By setting the discharge component 23, the assembly frame 231 can cooperate with the storage bin 232 and the discharge nozzle 233. The storage bin 232 can be limited by the assembly frame 231, and the storage bin 232 can be easily taken out of the connecting top plate 211 for cleaning. The storage bin 232 can guide the evenly distributed catalyst to the discharge nozzle 233, and the discharge nozzle 233 can spray the catalyst onto the ultrasonic probe with air pressure, thereby coating the ultrasonic probe with the catalyst.

[0058] Among them, the catalytic component 24 includes an assembly plate 241, an ultraviolet lamp tube 242 and a limiting frame 243. The assembly plate 241 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the connecting top plate 211, the ultraviolet lamp tube 242 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the assembly plate 241, and the limiting frame 243 is clamped on the surface of the ultraviolet lamp tube 242.

By setting the catalytic component 24, the assembly plate 241 can cooperate with the ultraviolet lamp tube 242 and the limiting frame 243. The ultraviolet lamp tube 242 and the limiting frame 243 are limited by the assembly plate 241, so that the structural stability of the ultraviolet lamp tube 242 can be increased. The ultraviolet lamp tube 242 can perform photocatalytic treatment on the catalyst on the surface of the ultrasonic probe, so that the active oxygen species generated by photocatalysis can destroy bacteria and viruses, thereby improving the efficiency of disinfecting the ultrasonic probe.

[0059] Among them, the flow delivery component 21 includes a connecting top plate 211, a flow delivery pipe 212 and a connecting ring buckle 213. The connecting top plate 211 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rotating plate 114, the flow delivery pipe 212 is connected to the right side of the connecting top plate 211, and the connecting ring buckle 213 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the flow delivery pipe 212. The bottom of the connecting ring buckle 213 is clamped with the top of the vacuum pump 121. By setting the flow delivery component 21, the connecting top plate 211 can cooperate with the flow delivery pipe 212 and the connecting ring buckle 213. By moving along the connecting rotating plate 114 through the connecting top plate 211, it can be closed with the positioning frame 111 to form a closed space, thereby providing the required space for disinfecting the ultrasonic probe. The flow delivery pipe 212 can be connected to the circulating pump 113 through the connecting ring buckle 213, and the gas in the positioning frame 111 can be transported to the connecting top plate 211 through the flow delivery pipe 212, providing the required force for the feeding component 22 to disperse the catalyst, and providing the required air pressure for the discharge component 23 to spray the catalyst.

[0060] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: first, the feed pipe 222 is connected to an external catalyst delivery device to deliver the catalyst to the storage box 221, and then the dispersion fan blades 224 rotate driven by the airflow delivered by the delivery pipe 212 to evenly disperse the catalyst to the distribution plate 223, and stably deliver it to the storage bin 232. The storage bin 232 guides the evenly distributed catalyst to the discharge nozzle 233, and the discharge nozzle 233 sprays the catalyst on the surface of the ultrasonic probe with the help of air pressure. Then the ultraviolet lamp 242 emits ultraviolet light to photocatalyze the catalyst on the probe surface, generating strong oxidizing substances to destroy bacteria and viruses, thereby achieving efficient disinfection of the ultrasonic probe.
