[0028] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned needle holder drying device may include a water collecting tank 1, a needle holder carrier 2, and a rotating mechanism 4. Among them, the above-mentioned water collecting tank 1 can be used to collect the liquid dripped from the needle holder. The above-mentioned water collecting tank 1 can be a box body for collecting liquid. The material of the inner surface of the above-mentioned water collecting tank 1 can be a hydrophobic material. The above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2 can be a mechanism for carrying the needle holder. For example, the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2 can be a carrying tray. As another example, the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2 can also be a telescopic rod. The above-mentioned rotating mechanism 4 can be a motor that provides rotational power for the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2. Further, in order to ensure the drying effect while avoiding damage to the instrument, the above-mentioned rotating mechanism 4 can be a low-speed motor (such as 100 - 300 RPM).

[0029] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned rotating mechanism 4 can be arranged inside the above-mentioned water collecting tank 1. The above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2 can be arranged above the above-mentioned rotating mechanism 4. The above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2 can be electrically connected to the above-mentioned rotating mechanism 4. Specifically, the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2 can be connected to the above-mentioned rotating mechanism 4 through a bearing. The above-mentioned rotating mechanism 4 can be used to drive the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2 to perform a self-rotating motion. Thus, the above-mentioned rotating mechanism can provide power for the rotation of the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2.

[0030] In some embodiments, at least one needle holder fixing member (e.g., the needle holder fixing member 3) may be provided at the upper end of the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2. Among them, the above-mentioned needle holder fixing member may be a mechanism for fixing the needle holder. For example, the above-mentioned needle holder fixing member may be a hook or a clamp. Each of the at least one needle holder fixing members can be used to fix the needle holder. In a state where the above-mentioned rotating mechanism 4 rotates, the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2 can drive the needle holders fixed on each needle holder fixing member to rotate. Thus, the needle holder can be fixed on the above-mentioned needle holder carrier through the needle holder fixing member, so that the needle holder is driven to rotate by the above-mentioned needle holder carrier to dry the needle holder.

[0031] In some embodiments, each of the at least one needle holder fixing members may be detachably connected to the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2. Each needle holder fixing member may include a connecting member (e.g., the connecting member 31) and a fixing member (e.g., the fixing member 32). Among them, the above-mentioned connecting member may be a mechanism for connecting the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2. For example, the above-mentioned connecting member may be a buckle. The above-mentioned fixing member may be a mechanism for fixing the needle holder. For example, the above-mentioned fixing member may be a gripper. One end of the above-mentioned connecting member may be connected to the above-mentioned fixing member. Here, the specific connection method between the above-mentioned connecting member and the above-mentioned fixing member is not limited. As an example, the connection method between the above-mentioned connecting member and the above-mentioned fixing member may be a plug-in connection. The other end of the above-mentioned connecting member may be connected to the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2. For example, the above-mentioned connecting member may be connected to the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2 by a snap connection. The above-mentioned fixing member can be used to fix the needle holder.

[0032] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned needle holder drying device may further include a water collecting cover. During the use of the above-mentioned needle holder drying device, the above-mentioned water collecting cover can cover the above-mentioned water collecting tank 1. Thus, it is possible to prevent the liquid splashed out by the needle holder from splashing.

[0033] Optionally, the above-mentioned connecting member may include a connecting sleeve and a telescopic rod. Among them, the above-mentioned connecting sleeve may be a snap connection sleeve for sleeving on the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2. The above-mentioned telescopic rod may be a rod body that is used to connect the connecting sleeve and the fixing member and is telescopic. The above-mentioned connecting sleeve can be clamped on the upper end of the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2. One end of the above-mentioned telescopic rod may be connected to the above-mentioned connecting sleeve. The other end of the above-mentioned telescopic rod may be connected to the above-mentioned fixing member. Here, the specific connection method between the above-mentioned telescopic rod and the above-mentioned connecting sleeve and the above-mentioned fixing member is not limited. As an example, the connection method between the above-mentioned connecting member and the above-mentioned connecting sleeve and the above-mentioned fixing member may be a plug-in connection.

[0034] Optionally, the above-mentioned fixture may include a clamp and a rotating base. The above-mentioned clamp may include adjustable jaws, elastic gaskets, and a locking mechanism. Among them, the above-mentioned adjustable jaws may be jaws with adjustable width. Thus, it can adapt to needle holders of different sizes and shapes. The above-mentioned elastic gaskets may be arranged inside the adjustable jaws. By adding an elastic material (such as medical silicone) inside the jaws, the surface of the needle holder can be protected and the friction can be increased. The above-mentioned locking mechanism can be used to fix the above-mentioned adjustable jaws. The above-mentioned locking mechanism may be a mechanism for locking the above-mentioned adjustable jaws. For example, the above-mentioned locking mechanism may be a knob or a spring lock. Thus, by locking the adjustable jaws through the above-mentioned locking mechanism, the needle holder can be firmly fixed to prevent the needle holder from falling off or sliding. The above-mentioned clamp may be detachably connected to the above-mentioned rotating base. The above-mentioned rotating base may be a 360° rotatable base. As an example, the above-mentioned clamp and the above-mentioned rotating base may be connected by a quick connection method (such as a snap or a thread), which is convenient for disassembly and replacement. The above-mentioned rotating base may be connected to the above-mentioned connecting piece.

[0035] In the process of adopting technical solutions to solve the above technical problems, there is often another technical problem 2: When drying the needle holder by means of rotary drying, for some needle holders with more complex structures, single-direction rotation will cause the liquid in some parts to be not easily thrown out, and there will still be a situation where the drying degree of the needle holder is relatively low, thereby increasing the risk of rusting of the needle holder. For the above technical problem 2, the conventional solution is generally: After rotary drying for a period of time, adjust the fixed angle of the needle holder and then perform rotary drying again. However, the above conventional solution still has the following problems: When there is liquid remaining in multiple places on the needle holder, the angle of the needle holder needs to be adjusted multiple times, resulting in low drying efficiency.

[0036] Considering the problems of the above conventional solution, in the face of the above technical problem 2: When drying the needle holder by means of rotary drying, for some needle holders with more complex structures, single-direction rotation will cause the liquid in some parts to be not easily thrown out, and there will still be a situation where the drying degree of the needle holder is relatively low, thereby increasing the risk of rusting of the needle holder. Combining the technical status quo, the following solution can be decided upon: Optionally, the above-mentioned rotating base can be a rotating motor. A weight sensor can be provided on the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2. The above-mentioned weight sensor can be a sensor for detecting the weight carried on the needle holder carrier 2. A controller and a set of rotation mode buttons can also be provided on the above-mentioned water collection tank 1. Among them, the above-mentioned controller can be a microprocessor for performing various information processing. The above-mentioned rotation mode buttons can be buttons for selecting various rotation modes. For example, the above-mentioned rotation mode buttons can be virtual buttons. It can be understood that a display screen can be provided on the above-mentioned water collection tank. The rotation mode buttons can be displayed on the above-mentioned display screen. Also for example, the above-mentioned rotation mode buttons can be physical buttons. As an example, the above-mentioned set of rotation mode buttons can include a rotation mode button representing the horizontal rotation mode, a rotation mode button representing the vertical rotation mode, and a rotation mode button representing the bidirectional rotation mode. In practice, the user can select different rotation modes according to different needs and the shape of the needle holder to be dried. For example, when the shape of the needle holder to be dried is relatively complex, the user can select the rotation mode button representing the bidirectional rotation mode. The above-mentioned controller can be communicatively connected to the above-mentioned rotation mechanism 4, the above-mentioned rotating base, and the above-mentioned set of rotation mode buttons. The above-mentioned controller can be configured to perform the following steps: First step, obtain the rotation mode information sent by any rotation mode button. Among them, the above-mentioned rotation mode information can be information representing the rotation mode of the above-mentioned needle holder drying device. For example, the above-mentioned rotation mode information can represent the horizontal rotation mode, the vertical rotation mode, or the bidirectional rotation mode.

[0037] Second step, in response to determining that the above-mentioned rotation mode information represents the horizontal rotation mode, control the above-mentioned rotation mechanism to rotate.

[0038] Third step, in response to determining that the above-mentioned rotation mode information represents the vertical rotation mode, control the above-mentioned rotating base to rotate.

[0039] Fourth step, in response to determining that the above-mentioned rotation mode information represents the bidirectional rotation mode, control the above-mentioned rotation mechanism and the above-mentioned rotating base to rotate simultaneously.

[0040] Fifth step, obtain the real-time weight information collected by the above-mentioned weight sensor.

[0041] Sixth step, determine the weight difference between the above-mentioned real-time weight information and the previous weight information corresponding to the above-mentioned real-time weight information.

[0042] Seventh step, determine whether the above-mentioned weight difference is less than a preset weight difference threshold. Among them, the above-mentioned preset weight difference threshold can be a weight difference representing that the needle holder is dried when the weight difference is less than this threshold.

[0043] In the eighth step, in response to determining that the above weight difference is less than a preset weight difference threshold, control the above rotation mechanism and / or the above rotating base to perform a stop rotation operation.

[0044] The above relevant content regarding the rotation mode is an inventive point of an embodiment of the present disclosure, which solves the second technical problem: "When drying the needle holder by means of rotary dehydration, for some needle holders with relatively complex structures, single-direction rotation will cause the liquid in some parts to be not easily thrown out, and there will still be a situation where the drying degree of the needle holder is relatively low, thus increasing the risk of rusting of the needle holder." The reasons for increasing the risk of rusting of the needle holder are as follows: When drying the needle holder by means of rotary dehydration, for some needle holders with relatively complex structures, single-direction rotation will cause the liquid in some parts to be not easily thrown out, and there will still be a situation where the drying degree of the needle holder is relatively low. If the above factors are solved, the risk of rusting of the needle holder can be reduced. To achieve this effect, the rotating base included in the needle holder drying device of the present disclosure is a rotating motor. A weight sensor is provided on the above needle holder carrier. A controller and a set of rotation mode buttons are also provided on the above water collecting tank. The above controller is communicatively connected to the above rotation mechanism, the above rotating base, and the above set of rotation mode buttons. The controller is configured to perform the following steps: In the first step, obtain the rotation mode information sent by any rotation mode button. Wherein, the above rotation mode information may be information characterizing the rotation mode of the above needle holder drying device. In the second step, in response to determining that the above rotation mode information characterizes the horizontal rotation mode, control the above rotation mechanism to rotate. In the third step, in response to determining that the above rotation mode information characterizes the vertical rotation mode, control the above rotating base to rotate. In the fourth step, in response to determining that the above rotation mode information characterizes the bidirectional rotation mode, control the above rotation mechanism and the above rotating base to rotate simultaneously. In the fifth step, obtain the real-time weight information collected by the above weight sensor. In the sixth step, determine the weight difference between the above real-time weight information and the previous weight information corresponding to the above real-time weight information. In the seventh step, determine whether the above weight difference is less than a preset weight difference threshold. In the eighth step, in response to determining that the above weight difference is less than a preset weight difference threshold, control the above rotation mechanism and / or the above rotating base to perform a stop rotation operation. Thus, on the basis of the rotation mechanism, the above needle holder drying device adds a rotating base that rotates in the vertical direction, enabling the needle holder to achieve rotation in two different directions, achieving more comprehensive dehydration, thereby improving the drying degree of the needle holder and reducing the risk of rusting of the needle holder. And different rotation modes are set for different needle holders. For needle holders with relatively simple structures, a single rotation mode is adopted to save power resources, while for needle holders with relatively complex structures, a bidirectional rotation mode is adopted to improve the drying degree of the needle holder, so as to more comprehensively meet the needs of users. And by detecting the weight of the needle holder, when the weight change is small, it is determined that the drying of the needle holder is completed, and the dehydration is stopped in time, further reducing resource waste.

[0045] Optionally, a hollow boss may be provided in the middle of the above-mentioned water collecting tank 1. The above-mentioned rotating mechanism 4 may be located within the above-mentioned hollow boss. It can be understood that the above-mentioned rotating mechanism 4 can be embedded inside the center of the above-mentioned water collecting tank 1. A through hole may be provided in the middle of the above-mentioned hollow boss. The above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2 may be connected to the above-mentioned rotating mechanism 4 through the above-mentioned through hole. The diameter of the above-mentioned through hole may be larger than the diameter of the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2. Specifically, the diameter of the above-mentioned through hole may be larger than the diameter of the portion where the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2 is connected to the above-mentioned rotating mechanism 4. A water separation pipe may be provided between the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2 and the above-mentioned through hole. The outer ring of the above-mentioned water separation pipe may be fixed to the above-mentioned through hole through a sealing ring. The inner diameter of the above-mentioned water separation pipe may be larger than the diameter of the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2. Specifically, the diameter of the above-mentioned water separation pipe may be larger than the diameter of the portion where the above-mentioned needle holder carrier 2 is connected to the above-mentioned rotating mechanism 4. The height of the above-mentioned water separation pipe may be higher than the height of the above-mentioned hollow boss. Thus, the liquid can be separated from the rotating mechanism 4 through the above-mentioned hollow boss, reducing the damage of the liquid to the rotating mechanism 4. The water separation pipe can prevent the liquid from entering the rotating mechanism 4 through the through hole, further reducing the damage of the liquid to the rotating mechanism 4.

[0046] Optionally, the height of the upper surface of the above-mentioned hollow boss near the above-mentioned through hole may be higher than the height of the above-mentioned hollow boss away from the above-mentioned through hole. It can be understood that the height of the above-mentioned hollow boss gradually decreases from the middle to the edge. Thus, during the use of the needle holder drying device, the liquid splashed onto the hollow boss can slide down from the upper surface.

[0047] In the process of adopting technical solutions to solve the above technical problems, there is often another technical problem 3: When drying the needle holder by the way of centrifugal drying, in order to avoid damage to the needle holder caused by the needle holder falling off due to a relatively high rotation speed, the above-mentioned rotating mechanism often adopts a relatively low rotation speed, and the relatively low rotation speed may lead to a relatively low drying degree of the centrifugal drying of the needle holder, increasing the risk of rusting of the needle holder. In response to the above technical problem 3, the conventional solution is generally: using a needle holder fixing member with a relatively firm fixation to fix the needle holder and increasing the rotation speed of the rotating mechanism to improve the drying degree of the centrifugal drying of the needle holder. However, the above conventional solution still has the following problems: For some needle holders with relatively complex shapes, when simply drying them by the way of centrifugal drying, the liquid in some parts is not easily thrown out, and there will still be a situation where the drying degree of the needle holder is relatively low, thus increasing the risk of rusting of the needle holder.

[0048] Considering the problems of the above conventional solutions, in the face of the above technical problem three: when drying the needle holder by centrifugal drying, in order to avoid damage to the needle holder caused by the needle holder falling off due to a relatively high rotation speed, the above rotation mechanism often adopts a relatively low rotation speed, and the relatively low rotation speed may result in a relatively low drying degree of the needle holder. Combining the technical status quo, the following solutions can be determined: Optionally, a drying mechanism may be provided on the water collecting cover. An air inlet channel and an air outlet channel may be formed on the water collecting cover. Among them, the air inlet channel may be a channel for hot air to enter. The air outlet channel may be a channel for hot air to blow out. The drying mechanism may include a heating device and a fan. Among them, the heating device may be a heating rod. The heating device and the fan may be installed in the air inlet channel. The heating device may be located in front of the fan.

[0049] Optionally, a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, and a flow sensor may be provided at the air outlet channel. The humidity sensor may be a sensor for detecting the humidity in the environment. The temperature sensor may be a sensor for detecting the temperature in the environment. The flow sensor may be a sensor for detecting the air flow in the environment.

[0050] Optionally, a weight sensor may be provided on the needle holder carrier 2. The weight sensor may be a sensor for detecting the weight carried on the needle holder carrier 2. A controller and a mode selection button set may also be provided on the water collecting tank 1. Among them, the controller may be a microprocessor for performing various information processing. The mode selection button may be a button for selecting various drying modes. For example, the mode selection button may be a virtual button or a physical button. As an example, the mode selection button set may include a mode selection button representing the fast drying mode, a mode selection button representing the energy-saving drying mode, and a mode selection button representing the protection drying mode. In practice, the user can select different modes according to different needs and the material or shape of the needle holder to be dried. For example, when the user is in a hurry to use the needle holder, the user can select the mode selection button representing the fast drying mode. When the material of the needle holder to be dried is relatively fragile, the user can select the mode selection button representing the protection drying mode. Different mode selection buttons may correspond to different drying parameters. The drying parameters may include initial parameters and parameter thresholds. The initial parameters may include an initial heating temperature and an initial wind speed. The parameter thresholds may include a temperature threshold and a fan threshold. The controller may be communicatively connected to the humidity sensor, the temperature sensor, the air flow sensor, the weight sensor, and the mode selection button set. The controller may be configured to perform the following steps: First step: In response to receiving the drying mode information sent by any mode selection button, determine the drying parameters corresponding to the above drying mode information. Among them, the above drying parameters may include initial parameters and parameter thresholds. The above drying mode information may be information used to represent the drying mode selected by the user. The above initial parameters may be the initial parameters for the above drying mechanism to operate in the mode corresponding to the above drying mode information. The above parameter thresholds may be the parameter thresholds for the above drying mechanism to operate in the mode corresponding to the above drying mode information. The above initial parameters may include an initial heating temperature and an initial wind speed. The above parameter thresholds may include a temperature threshold and a fan threshold. In practice, the above controller may select the preset drying parameters corresponding to the above drying mode information from a preset drying parameter configuration table as the drying parameters.

[0051] Second step: According to the above initial parameters, control the above drying mechanism to perform a drying operation corresponding to the above initial parameters. In practice, the above controller may adjust the heating temperature of the above heating device to the initial drying temperature included in the above initial parameters. And the above controller may adjust the wind speed of the above fan to the initial wind speed included in the above initial parameters.

[0052] Third step: Obtain the humidity information collected by the above humidity sensor, the temperature information collected by the above temperature sensor, the flow information collected by the above flow sensor, and the weight information collected by the above weight sensor.

[0053] Fourth step: Determine the preset adjustment drying parameter generation model corresponding to the above drying mode information in the preset adjustment drying parameter generation model set as the target adjustment drying parameter generation model. Among them, each preset adjustment drying parameter generation model in the above preset adjustment drying parameter generation model set corresponds to different drying mode information respectively.
