Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of disinfection devices, in particular to an automatic disinfection device for an ultrasonic probe. Background Art

[0002] An ultrasonic probe is a device used to transmit and receive ultrasonic waves. Its principle is to measure the flow rate and flow of a fluid by transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves. When ultrasonic waves propagate in a fluid, their propagation speed will be affected by the flow rate of the fluid. By measuring the propagation time or frequency change of ultrasonic waves, the flow rate and flow of the fluid can be calculated. In downhole oil production, ultrasonic flow measurement technology can be used to monitor the production and flow of oil wells in real time, help optimize the production process, and improve the recovery rate. Due to the complex environment of downhole oil production, ultrasonic probes may come into contact with oil, formation water, rock debris, etc. containing various bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. At the same time, it also avoids corrosion and damage to the ultrasonic probe. Therefore, an automatic disinfection device is needed to disinfect it in time to avoid cross infection and protect the performance and service life of the probe.

[0003] According to the search, the Chinese patent document, announcement number: CN210963189U, discloses an automatic disinfection device for ultrasonic probes, which heats the disinfection chamber through a heating tube, and energizes the heating tube by connecting an external power supply through a wiring board, so that the heating tube heats the disinfection chamber, thereby drying the ultrasonic probe on the holding plate, which facilitates the use of the ultrasonic probe. However, in actual use, the ultrasonic probe is fixed on the holding plate, and the disinfection equipment cannot cover its entire surface. The disinfectant is sprayed unevenly, and the angle needs to be adjusted manually, which reduces the overall practicality. Summary of the invention
