Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of trailers, and in particular to an instrument transfer trailer for use with a reprocessing instrument recovery robot and an application method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The re-sterilization instrument recovery robot is an automated device specially designed for the recovery and processing of re-sterilization instruments (i.e. medical instruments that need to be repeatedly sterilized). It combines robotic technology, image AI recognition technology and intelligent electric storage control technology. It can autonomously navigate to the designated location, take pictures of re-sterilization instruments through visual cameras, obtain before and after storage images, and compare and verify images through the background processor to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the instruments.

[0003] However, due to the limitations of the re-disposal instrument recovery robot itself, the number of medical devices it can transport each time is limited. When a large number of medical devices need to be transported, the re-disposal instrument recovery robot needs to transport them multiple times, which is very inefficient. For this reason, the present application proposes an instrument transfer trailer for use by the re-disposal instrument recovery robot and an application method thereof, which are used to enable the re-disposal instrument recovery robot to transport more medical devices at one time, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the re-disposal instrument recovery robot. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide an instrument transfer trailer and an application method for use by a re-disposal instrument recovery robot, so as to enable the re-disposal instrument recovery robot to transport more medical devices at one time, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the re-disposal instrument recovery robot.

[0005] The above-mentioned purpose of the present application is achieved through the following technical solutions: an instrument transfer trailer for use by a reprocessing instrument recovery robot, comprising a towing box, a box door hingedly installed on the towing box, a plurality of partitions arranged in the box door for placing medical instruments, and a connecting rod arranged on one side of the towing box for connecting to the recovery robot, wherein a plurality of support rods are provided on the bottom surface of the towing box, and universal movable wheels are installed at the bottom ends of the support rods.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the re-disposal instrument recovery robot needs to transport a large number of medical devices, medical staff can place the medical devices that need to be transported on multiple partitions respectively, and then close the box door, and connect it to the re-disposal instrument recovery robot with a connecting rod. At this time, it is only necessary to start the re-disposal instrument recovery robot, and the re-disposal instrument recovery robot can carry the medical devices in the towing box to the designated location for medical staff to disinfect, thereby enabling the re-disposal instrument recovery robot to transport more medical devices at one time, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the re-disposal instrument recovery robot.

[0007] Furthermore, a mounting box is provided on the bottom surface of the towing box, a moisturizing machine is provided in the mounting box, and an output nozzle of the moisturizing machine extends from the bottom surface of the towing box into the towing box.

[0008] By adopting the above-mentioned technical scheme, although the setting of the towing box enables the re-disinfection instrument recovery robot to transport more medical devices at one time, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the re-disinfection instrument recovery robot, in the process of transporting medical devices, since the towing box is closed, this will cause the blood stains or tissues on the medical devices that need to be disinfected to quickly solidify on the medical devices. In this way, the dirt will block the contact between the cleaning agent and the sterilizing agent and the surface of the device, making the cleaning and sterilization work more difficult. The setting of the moisturizing machine solves this technical problem. Through the setting of the moisturizing machine, medical staff can start the moisturizing machine after closing the box door. The moisturizing machine sprays humidified gas into the towing box through the nozzle, making the towing box relatively moist, so that the surface of the medical device can be kept moist, thereby ensuring that the medical device can be quickly and conveniently cleaned, disinfected and sterilized after entering the disinfection supply room.

[0009] Furthermore, ventilation holes penetrating the partitions are provided on the surfaces of the plurality of partitions.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the provision of the vents enables the humidified gas to flow to each partition through the vents, so that the medical devices on each partition can be kept moist.

[0011] Furthermore, a water collection tray is placed on the inner bottom surface of the towing box, and the output nozzles of the moisturizing machine are located on both sides of the water collection tray, and the opening of the water collection tray faces upward.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, although the setting of the moisturizing machine ensures that the medical equipment can be quickly and conveniently cleaned, disinfected and sterilized after entering the disinfection supply room, the humidified gas sprayed therefrom will also cause water to accumulate inside the towing box, making it more troublesome for medical staff to clean the accumulated water inside the towing box. The setting of the water accumulation tray solves this technical problem. Through the setting of the water accumulation tray, when medical staff need to clean the accumulated water inside the towing box, they only need to wait for the accumulated water inside the towing box to fall into the water accumulation tray through the vent, and then just pull the water accumulation tray out of the towing box, and then pour out the accumulated water in the water accumulation tray.

[0013] Furthermore, the partition is composed of two inclined plates that abut against each other and are connected as one body, and the lowest ends of the two inclined plates abut against each other.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the partition composed of two inclined plates abutting each other and connected as one body can make the water droplets condensed by humid gas on the surface of the partition flow to the middle part of the partition, so that the water droplets condensed by humid gas on the surface of the partition can accurately fall into the water accumulation tray, thereby making it more convenient for medical staff to clean the water inside the towing box.

[0015] Furthermore, a plurality of visual cameras are installed around the upper end of the towing box.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, medical staff can connect the visual camera to the reprocessing equipment recovery robot so that when the reprocessing equipment recovery robot transports the towing box, the visual camera can be used to collect the conditions around the towing box to prevent the towing box from colliding with obstacles during transportation.

[0017] Furthermore, a visual camera is installed on the top surface of the interior of the towing box, and the partition is a transparent plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the visual camera on the top surface of the towing box can prevent the medical devices from being illegally obtained or lost during transportation.

[0019] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the support rod is provided with an installation opening which passes through to the interior of the support rod, and a shock-absorbing spring is installed in the installation opening. One end of the shock-absorbing spring is fixedly connected to the support rod, and the other end is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, and the universal movable wheel is installed on the mounting plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the shock-absorbing spring, the towing box can move more smoothly when the reprocessing equipment recovery robot transports the towing box.

[0021] Furthermore, the box door is provided with a restricted area for controlling the opening and closing of the box door.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, medical staff need to place the access card in the restricted area when placing equipment, thereby preventing unauthorized persons from opening and closing the door.

[0023] The application method of the instrument transfer trailer used by the reprocessing instrument recovery robot in the above technical solution comprises the following steps: S1. Swipe the card to open the box door and place the medical device on the partition, then adjust the position of the water tray to make it centered in the towing box; S2. Close the box door and connect the connecting rod to the recovery robot for re-disinfection equipment; S3, start the moisturizing machine so that the output nozzle of the moisturizing machine outputs humidified gas into the towing box, and then start the recovery robot for the disinfection equipment.

[0024] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: Through the setting of the towing box, when the re-disposal instrument recovery robot needs to transport more medical devices, medical staff can place the medical devices that need to be transported on multiple partitions respectively, and then close the box door, and use the connecting rod to connect it to the re-disposal instrument recovery robot. At this time, you only need to start the re-disposal instrument recovery robot, and the re-disposal instrument recovery robot can take the medical devices in the towing box to the designated location for medical staff to disinfect, thereby enabling the re-disposal instrument recovery robot to transport more medical devices at one time, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the re-disposal instrument recovery robot.

[0027] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The equipment transport trailer for use by the reprocessing equipment recovery robot includes a towing box 1, on which a door 10 is hingedly installed for easy opening and closing of the towing box 1. Inside the towing box 1, a plurality of partitions 11 arranged along the height direction of the towing box 1 are installed. These partitions 11 are specially arranged for properly placing and separating different types of medical equipment, ensuring the safety and stability of the medical equipment during transportation. In addition, a connecting rod 12 is also arranged on one side of the trailer, and the connecting rod 12 is mainly used to connect the towing box 1 with the reprocessing equipment recovery robot.

[0029] In order to enhance the mobility and flexibility of the trailer, a plurality of support rods 13 are installed on the bottom of the towing box 1, and the bottom ends of these support rods 13 are installed with universal movable wheels 2 that enable the towing box 1 to move flexibly, so that the trailer can move freely in various complex environments, whether it is narrow aisles or uneven roads.

[0030] When the reprocessing equipment recovery robot needs to undertake the task of transporting a large number of medical devices, medical staff can make full use of the advantages of this transport trailer. Medical staff only need to neatly place the medical devices to be transported on the partition 11, and then close the box door 10 to ensure that all medical devices will not fall out of the towing box 1 during transportation. Then, the trailer is tightly connected to the reprocessing equipment recovery robot through the connecting rod 12. The whole process is simple and efficient.

[0031] Once the connection is completed, the re-disinfection equipment recovery robot only needs to be started, and it can carry the towing box 1 full of medical equipment to the designated location smoothly and quickly. There, medical staff can perform necessary disinfection on these medical equipment. This design not only greatly improves the one-time transportation capacity of the re-disinfection equipment recovery robot, but also significantly improves its overall transportation efficiency, bringing great convenience and benefits to the daily operation of medical institutions.

[0032] Although the design of the towing box 1 does greatly enhance the ability of the reprocessing device recycling robot to transport medical devices at one time, thereby significantly improving its transportation efficiency, the closed nature of the towing box 1 brings about a problem that cannot be ignored in the actual transportation of medical devices. Because medical devices are often stained with impurities such as blood or tissue before transportation, these impurities can easily solidify on the surface of the device in a short time in the closed towing box 1. Once these impurities solidify, they will form a barrier to prevent the cleaning agent and sterilizing agent from directly contacting the surface of the medical device, which will undoubtedly bring additional challenges and difficulties to the subsequent cleaning and sterilization work.

[0033] In order to solve this technical problem, this embodiment makes innovative improvements in the design of the towing box 1. Specifically, this embodiment sets a mounting box 3 on the bottom surface of the towing box 1, and a moisturizing machine 30 is installed inside the mounting box 3. The output nozzle 31 of the moisturizing machine 30 extends from the bottom surface of the towing box 1 into the interior thereof, thereby realizing accurate and uniform humidified gas spraying inside the towing box 1.

[0034] In actual operation, after the medical staff properly places the medical device on the partition 11 of the towing box 1 and closes the box door 10, they only need to simply start the moisturizing machine 30, and it will start working immediately. The moisturizing machine 30 will continuously and stably spray the moist gas into the towing box 1 through the nozzle to ensure that the environment in the box is kept in a suitable moist state. In this way, the surface of the medical device can always be kept moist, effectively preventing the coagulation of impurities such as blood stains or tissues.

[0035] When the towing box 1 arrives at the disinfection supply room with the re-disinfection equipment recovery robot, medical staff can find that because the surface of the medical equipment is always kept moist, they can be cleaned and disinfected and sterilized more quickly and conveniently. This innovative design not only greatly improves the cleanliness and sterilization effect of medical equipment, but also brings more convenience and benefits to the daily operation of medical institutions.

[0036] In this embodiment, vents 14 penetrating the partitions 11 are provided on the surfaces of the plurality of partitions 11. The vents 14 are provided so that humidified gas can flow through the vents 14 to each partition 11, thereby keeping the medical devices on each partition 11 moist.

[0037] Although the configuration of the moisturizing machine 30 ensures that the medical devices can be easily and quickly cleaned and sterilized after entering the sterilization supply room, this design is also accompanied by a potential problem: the humidified gas sprayed by the moisturizing machine 30 may form water accumulation inside the towing box 1. Such accumulated water will not only increase the workload of medical staff in cleaning the towing box 1, but may also cause inconvenience to the subsequent transportation and handling of medical devices.

[0038] In order to solve this technical problem, this embodiment provides a water accumulation tray 4 on the inner bottom surface of the towing box 1. The water accumulation tray 4 is placed at the bottom of the towing box 1, and its position is just enough to receive the accumulated water that may be generated. And the output nozzles 31 of the moisturizing machine 30 are cleverly designed on both sides of the water accumulation tray 4 to ensure that the humidified gas can be evenly sprayed into the towing box 1, while avoiding direct spraying onto the water accumulation tray 4 to affect the diffusion of the humidified gas.

[0039] The design of the water accumulation tray 4 adopts a structure with an opening facing upward, which allows the accumulated water to flow smoothly into the water accumulation tray 4 without flowing around. When water accumulates inside the towing box 1, the accumulated water will fall into the water accumulation tray 4 through the vent 14 or naturally flow, so that it is effectively collected and fixed.

[0040] In this way, it has become easier than ever for medical staff to clean the accumulated water inside the hauling box 1. Medical staff only need to wait for the accumulated water to completely flow into the water accumulation tray 4, and then easily pull the water accumulation tray 4 to separate it from the hauling box 1. Then, they can directly pour out the accumulated water in the water accumulation tray 4 to complete the entire cleaning process. This design not only greatly reduces the workload of medical staff, but also improves the cleanliness and use efficiency of the hauling box 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the partition 11 is composed of two inclined plates that are abutted against each other and connected as a whole. The lowest ends of the two inclined plates are abutted against each other. The partition 11 composed of two inclined plates that are abutted against each other and connected as a whole can make the water droplets condensed from the humid gas on the surface of the partition 11 flow to the middle part of the partition 11, so that the water droplets condensed from the humid gas on the surface of the partition 11 can accurately fall into the water accumulation tray 4, thereby making it more convenient for medical staff to clean the water inside the towing box 1.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 In this embodiment, a plurality of visual cameras 5 are installed around the upper end of the towing box 1. Medical staff can connect the visual cameras 5 to the reprocessing equipment recovery robot so that when the reprocessing equipment recovery robot transports the towing box 1, the visual cameras 5 can be used to collect the conditions around the towing box 1 to prevent the towing box 1 from colliding with obstacles during transportation.

[0043] In this embodiment, a visual camera 5 is installed on the top surface of the interior of the towing box 1, and the partition 11 is a transparent plate. The visual camera 5 on the top surface of the interior of the towing box 1 can prevent medical devices from being illegally obtained or lost during transportation.

[0044] In this embodiment, a mounting opening is opened on the bottom surface of the support rod 13 and penetrates into the interior of the support rod 13. A shock-absorbing spring 130 is installed in the mounting opening. One end of the shock-absorbing spring 130 is fixedly connected to the support rod 13, and the other end is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 131. The universal movable wheel 2 is installed on the mounting plate 131. Through the setting of the shock-absorbing spring 130, the towing box 1 moves more smoothly when the decontamination equipment recovery robot transports the towing box 1.

[0045] In this embodiment, a restricted access area 15 for controlling the opening and closing of the door 10 is provided on the door 10 . When medical staff need to place equipment, they need to place an access card on the restricted access area 15 , thereby preventing unauthorized persons from opening and closing the door 10 .

[0046] Specific implementation process: first swipe the card to open the box door 10 and place the medical equipment on the partition 11, then adjust the position of the water accumulation tray 4 so that it is centered in the towing box 1, then close the box door 10, connect the connecting rod 12 to the re-disinfection equipment recovery robot, and then start the moisturizing machine 30 so that the output nozzle 31 of the moisturizing machine 30 outputs humidified gas into the towing box 1, and then just start the re-disinfection equipment recovery robot, and the re-disinfection equipment recovery robot can take the medical equipment in the towing box 1 to the designated location.

[0047] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
