Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sterilization equipment, in particular to a formaldehyde sterilizer. Background Art

[0002] Traditionally, medical device sterilization is mainly achieved through steam sterilizers, which mainly use high-temperature and high-pressure steam to kill bacteria and viruses on medical devices, thereby ensuring the safety of medical devices and preventing patients from being infected with bacteria and viruses during the use of medical devices. However, with the continuous emergence of new medical devices, some medical devices are easily affected in performance and service life when sterilized at high temperatures. For this reason, low-temperature steam formaldehyde sterilization equipment has been vigorously promoted and developed.

[0003] Formaldehyde has a highly effective sterilizing effect on various microorganisms, including bacterial propagules, spores, mycobacteria, fungi and viruses. Its sterilization mechanism is that formaldehyde is an alkylating agent, which can alkylate and denature the active genes of bacterial proteins, enzymes and nucleic acids. It can generate methine derivatives with amino, sulfhydryl, hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on protein molecules, thereby destroying bacterial proteins (especially enzymes) and causing the death of microorganisms. However, some existing low-temperature formaldehyde sterilizers have some shortcomings, such as: when they are used, they usually mix formaldehyde gas with steam for sterilization. This method requires additional configuration of corresponding structures for generating water vapor and corresponding structures for recovering condensed liquid containing formaldehyde, which has the problems of high cost and troublesome subsequent treatment. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention mainly provides a formaldehyde sterilizer to solve the problem that the prior art usually adopts the method of mixing formaldehyde gas with steam for sterilization. This method requires additional configuration of corresponding structures for generating water vapor and corresponding structures for recovering condensed liquid containing formaldehyde, which has high cost and troublesome subsequent processing.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A formaldehyde sterilizer comprises a frame, a sterilization studio, a puncture structure, a vacuum pump, a formaldehyde purification structure, an air intake filter and a closing cover for closing the sterilization studio; the sterilization studio is provided with an air extraction port and an air intake port, the sterilization studio is provided with a first liquid inlet control valve, the sterilization studio is provided with a first liquid evaporation box, the first liquid inlet control valve is communicated with the first liquid evaporation box, the air extraction port is provided with an air extraction solenoid valve, and the air intake solenoid valve is provided with the air intake port; the output end of the puncture structure is communicated with the first liquid inlet control valve, and a first power pump is connected in series between the puncture structure and the first liquid inlet control valve; one end of the vacuum pump is communicated with the air extraction solenoid valve, and the other end is communicated with the formaldehyde purification structure; the air intake filter is communicated with the air intake solenoid valve; the sterilization studio is provided with a detection sensor for detecting the indoor pressure.

[0007] Among them, the first liquid evaporation box has a heating and evaporation function, and the heating and evaporation function is realized by any existing heating component, so as to realize the evaporation of the liquid therein. The first power pump can adopt existing technology, such as: peristaltic pump. The formaldehyde purification structure has an oxidation catalyst part that can react with formaldehyde for purification, and the oxidation catalyst part is a consumable. The connection method between the various components in this application includes but is not limited to pipe connection, direct connection of ports between components, etc. Each component in this application can be installed on a rack or on other components.

[0008] Working principle: Place the medical device to be sterilized in the sterilization workroom, close the sealing cover and the sterilization workroom, and evacuate the sterilization workroom through a vacuum pump. When the detection sensor detects that the pressure in the sterilization workroom has reached a preset threshold, the formaldehyde in the puncture structure is passed into the first liquid evaporation box through the first power pump, and then the formaldehyde liquid in the first liquid evaporation box is heated and evaporated, so that the formaldehyde gas fills the sterilization workroom; all the gas in the sterilization workroom is extracted to the formaldehyde purification structure through the vacuum pump, and is purified again by the formaldehyde purification structure before being discharged into the air; at the same time, during the initial air extraction and pressure reduction, the air intake solenoid valve is closed to achieve pressure reduction in the sterilization workroom; before the final exhaust, the air intake solenoid valve is opened and the vacuum pump is working, and the outside air can enter the sterilization workroom after passing through the air intake filter to ensure that the pressure in the sterilization workroom is in a normal state. The structure of the present application reduces the number of working steps and improves working efficiency compared to mixing formaldehyde gas with low-temperature steam. It also eliminates the response structure for generating steam and processing liquid containing formaldehyde condensation, reduces costs, and directly heats and evaporates formaldehyde, which is more efficient. The present application performs multiple purification treatments on the mixed gas to be discharged by cooperating with a formaldehyde purification structure, thereby reducing the toxicity of the discharged mixed gas. An air intake filter is provided to filter the air entering the sterilization studio.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes an internal circulation structure, which includes a formaldehyde decomposition chamber, a heat dissipation device and an internal circulation fan; the upper end of the formaldehyde decomposition chamber is connected to one end of the heat dissipation device, the other end of the heat dissipation device is connected to one end of the internal circulation fan, and the other end of the internal circulation fan is connected to the air inlet; the sterilization studio is provided with a circulation upper opening, and the lower end of the formaldehyde decomposition chamber is connected to the circulation upper opening. Among them, the formaldehyde decomposition chamber has an oxidation catalyst part that can react with formaldehyde for purification, and the formaldehyde decomposition chamber has a heating structure. When in use, after the sterilization work is completed, the internal circulation fan is started to drive the mixed gas with formaldehyde gas in the sterilization workroom to circulate in the internal circulation structure, so that the mixed gas with formaldehyde gas is preliminarily purified. At the same time, the heat dissipation device can cool down the gas heated in the formaldehyde decomposition chamber and return it to the sterilization workroom. With this structure, the formaldehyde in the mixed gas can be preliminarily treated, so that the discharged mixed gas is safer in combination with the neutralizer and the formaldehyde purification structure.

[0010] Furthermore, a first ball valve is connected in series between the lower end of the formaldehyde decomposition chamber and the upper circulation port, and a second ball valve is connected in series between the other end of the internal circulation fan and the air inlet. The first ball valve and the second ball valve are used to close the internal circulation structure when not in use, thereby avoiding excessive consumption of consumables for purifying formaldehyde in the formaldehyde decomposition chamber and reducing the formaldehyde gas concentration in the sterilization chamber.

[0011] Furthermore, the puncture mechanism includes a sealed container for placing a formaldehyde tank, an electric push rod and a puncture needle; the puncture needle is installed at the output end of the electric push rod, a sealing member matching the puncture needle is installed on the sealed container, the puncture needle moves in the sealed container driven by the electric push rod, and the liquid hole of the sealed container is connected to the first liquid inlet control valve through the first power pump. When in use, the formaldehyde tank containing formaldehyde is placed in the sealed container and sealed, and the electric push rod drives the puncture needle to pass through the sealing member to puncture the formaldehyde tank in the sealed container. After puncture, the electric push rod drives the puncture needle to reset, and the formaldehyde liquid in the formaldehyde tank flows into the sealed container. At the same time, the formaldehyde liquid in the sealed container can be transported to the first liquid evaporation box through the first power pump; when the formaldehyde liquid in the sealed container is consumed, the sealed container is opened to replace the formaldehyde tank. This structure replaces the corresponding formaldehyde tank after the formaldehyde in the sealed container is consumed, and the formaldehyde tank will not be punctured open until it enters the sealed container to allow the formaldehyde to flow into the sealed container. Compared with opening the container containing formaldehyde and then pouring the formaldehyde into the corresponding container of the equipment, this can reduce the safety hazards caused by adding formaldehyde to the equipment.

[0012] Furthermore, a heating plate is installed on the outer wall of the sealed container. With this structure, the sealed container can be heated by the heating plate, so that the formaldehyde liquid in the sealed container evaporates and enters the sterilization working room, and then the sealed container is opened to safely replace the formaldehyde tank.

[0013] Furthermore, the air intake filter is installed on one side of the formaldehyde purification structure. In this way, the formaldehyde purification structure can be cooled by the air intake, and the gas entering the sterilization studio can be preheated.

[0014] Furthermore, the formaldehyde purification structure includes a first purification chamber and a second purification chamber, the first purification chamber is provided with a communication port connected to the vacuum pump, the second purification chamber is provided with an exhaust port, and the first purification chamber is connected to the second purification chamber. With this structure, the formaldehyde content in the mixed gas can be further reduced through two purifications.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes an exhaust gas blower, which is connected to the exhaust port. With this structure, the mixed gas can be better discharged in conjunction with the formaldehyde purification structure.

[0016] Furthermore, the machine also includes a housing mounted on the frame. The housing can protect the components on the frame.

[0017] Furthermore, a heating device for heating the interior of the sterilization studio is installed on the sterilization studio. The heating device can be any one of the prior art, as long as it can heat the interior of the sterilization studio. With this structure, the sterilization studio can be heated, so that the sterilization work can be better performed.

[0018] Beneficial effects: Compared with mixing formaldehyde gas with low-temperature steam, the structure of the present application reduces the number of working steps, improves working efficiency, eliminates the response structure for generating steam and processing liquid containing formaldehyde condensation, reduces costs, and directly heats and evaporates formaldehyde, which is more efficient. The present application uses a formaldehyde purification structure to purify the mixed gas to be discharged multiple times, thereby reducing the toxicity of the discharged mixed gas. An air intake filter is provided to filter the air entering the sterilization studio. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
