Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical equipment disinfection, and specifically relates to a color ultrasound probe disinfection device. Background Art

[0002] Color Doppler ultrasound, also known as color ultrasound, is an examination method that uses ultrasonic technology to perform internal imaging examinations of the human body. Color ultrasound can display the structure and function of internal organs and tissues. By observing color blood flow images, it is possible to assess blood flow within blood vessels and diagnose various diseases. Color ultrasound examinations do not require the use of radiation and are harmless to the human body. They are simple and convenient to operate, making them very suitable for clinical medical diagnosis. Color ultrasound examinations can be used to examine the heart, blood vessels, thyroid gland, abdominal organs, breasts, pelvic cavity, and other parts of the body. They are of great significance for the early detection of lesions, the clear diagnosis of diseases, and the evaluation of treatment effects. Therefore, color ultrasound has been widely used in clinical medicine.

[0003] After completing the color ultrasound examination, since the probe has been in contact with the patient's skin and there is still emulsion left on the probe for enhanced development, the probe needs to be cleaned in time to avoid the attachment of bacteria, dust, etc., and to avoid contact infection between patients. Usually, medical staff use disinfectant alcohol to wipe the probe, let it dry naturally or wipe it with dry disinfectant cotton, but this method of cleaning is too inefficient and can easily cause infection. When there are a large number of patients, it cannot be dried in time, and the residual alcohol affects the development effect of the developer, resulting in errors in the detected image and affecting the test results.

[0028] When in use, first inject an appropriate amount of disinfectant into the disinfectant storage bottle 701, then put the disinfectant storage bottle 701 into the storage chamber 704, and put the external connecting tube 703 into the disinfectant storage bottle 701. The end of the permeation tube 307 is now docked with the permeation joint 702, and the disinfectant penetrates into the external connecting tube 703, the permeation joint 702, the permeation tube 307 and the rotary brush 306 in sequence; press the separation switch 102 to let the probe locking mechanism 2 slide out of the disinfection main cabin 1, and clamp the contaminated probe 8 on both sides through the fixing clamp 203. Then push the probe locking mechanism 2 into the disinfection main cabin 1; start the probe disinfection operation, start the drying fan 501, the drying fan 501 sucks air through the air inlet channel 502, blows and cleans the contaminated probe 8, and starts the lifting motor 604.

During the movement of the lifting platform 601, the outer sleeve shaft 301 moves downward under the drive of the push plate 103 and approaches the contaminated probe 8. When the rotation After the wheel brush 306 contacts the probe, the limit connecting piece 303 will squeeze the locking spring 207 for buffering. At the same time, under the influence of the airflow generated by the drying fan 501, the wind wheel 305 is rotated by the thrust of the airflow. The rotation of the wind wheel 305 drives the connecting shaft 302 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting shaft 302 drives the wheel brush 306 to rotate. Due to the action of centrifugal force, the disinfectant on the head of the wheel brush 306 is thrown onto the contaminated probe 8. While providing an appropriate amount of disinfectant, the contaminated probe 8 is disinfected and cleaned. Due to the disinfection at the wheel brush 306, As the liquid decreases, the disinfectant in the permeation tube 307 automatically diffuses to the rotary brush 306 to replenish the disinfectant. The flowing airflow can blow away the dirt and disinfectant on the surface of the contaminated probe 8 from top to bottom, and at the same time dry the contaminated probe 8. The liquid after being blown away flows into the waste discharge channel 401, and the airflow changes into a spiral trajectory at the spiral spoiler 402. The small droplets mixed in the airflow are thrown to the inner wall of the waste discharge channel 401 by the centrifugal force. The concentrated waste liquid flows into the waste liquid collection channel 404 under the influence of gravity, and the airflow is finally discharged through the exhaust channel 403.
