Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical device cleaning, and more specifically, relates to an ultrasonic cleaning device. Background Art
[0002] Ultrasonic cleaning is a technology that uses the cavitation, acceleration, and straight-through flow effects of ultrasound in liquids to directly or indirectly oscillate and clean liquids and contaminants. It can disperse, emulsify, and exfoliate contaminants from the object being cleaned, achieving precision cleaning. Currently, due to the small and complex structures of precision medical devices, they are often immersed in the water tank of an ultrasonic cleaning machine for cleaning. However, after a single cleaning cycle with a traditional ultrasonic cleaning machine, the water or cleaning solution in the ultrasonic cleaning machine's water tank must be manually replaced by emptying it, and the medical device must be removed for each replacement. This manual replacement of the cleaning solution during multiple water changes significantly reduces the cleaning efficiency of the ultrasonic cleaning machine. Furthermore, after the oscillation cleaning of the medical device, medical staff must wipe any remaining water from the device with absorbent cotton balls to ensure the surface remains dry. However, manual wiping is not only cumbersome and inconvenient, but also highly susceptible to contamination from medical devices through contact with the hands of medical staff.

The upper side of the support 28 is installed with a cleaning controller 9; the lower side of the support 28 is installed with a bottom plate 6, and the upper side of the bottom plate 6 is rotatably connected to a turntable 25.
[0026] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, there are two groups of skateboards 24, which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right. A long through groove is provided on the upper side of each group of skateboards 24, and two groups of circular through holes are provided on the skateboards 24 that pass through the left and right. The guide rods 15 are inserted into the circular through holes of the skateboards 24 to ensure that the guide rods 15 support the two groups of skateboards 24 for directional sliding left and right.
[0027] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, an external tooth structure is provided on the outer side of the turntable 25, and the gear 22 is meshed and connected to the external tooth structure of the turntable 25. Two groups of bosses 26 are provided on the upper side of the turntable 25 near the outer edge. Each group of bosses 26 is a cylindrical structure. The bosses 26 are inserted into the long through grooves of the slide plate 24. The gear 22 drives the turntable 25 to rotate through the external tooth structure of the turntable 25.

Seven groups of through grooves are provided on the left and right sides of the top cover 3. The through grooves of the top cover 3 are opposite to the fan 13 on the left and right sides. The right side of the through grooves on the right side of the top cover 3 is covered with a filter 4. The filter 4 is made of a polyurethane mesh sponge. Due to the high air permeability of the polyurethane mesh sponge, the filter 4 blocks external dust without affecting the air flow, preventing dust from being sucked into the top cover 3 by the fan 13, thereby preventing the medical equipment from being contaminated with dust during the drying process.
[0030] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, two groups of vertically extending through grooves are provided on the upper side of the frame plate frame 27 near the edges of the front side and the rear side. The lifting frame 17 is inserted into the through grooves of the frame plate frame 27, and the outer side of the lifting frame 17 is attached to the groove wall of the through groove of the frame plate frame 27. The through grooves of the frame plate frame 27 support the lifting frame 17 to move vertically up and down, so that the two groups of lifting frames 17 support the horizontal and stable movement of the loading basket 20.
[0031] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the upper side of the loading basket 20 is an open square trough structure, and the lower side of the loading basket 20 is densely covered with a large number of water-permeable through holes. Eleven groups of through slots are provided on the left and right sides of the loading basket 20. The through slots on the right side of the loading basket 20 are opposite to the electric heating tube 12 on the left and right sides. The fan 13 generates wind to blow the heat generated by the electric heating tube 12 through the through slots on the right side of the loading basket 20 onto the medical devices placed inside the loading basket 20. After the moisture on the surface of the medical devices is vaporized, it is blown from the through slots on the left side of the loading basket 20 to the through slots on the left side of the top cover 3 by the wind to be discharged, thereby completing the drying of the medical devices.
[0032] In the disclosed embodiment, the UVLED ultraviolet lamp board 14 is connected to the center position of the upper side surface inside the cover structure of the top cover 3 by bolts. The UVLED ultraviolet lamp board 14 is opposite to the opening position of the square trough structure of the loading basket 20. The UVLED ultraviolet lamp board 14 generates ultraviolet light to irradiate the medical devices carried inside the loading basket 20, so that the medical devices are always in a sterilization environment during the hot air drying process, ensuring that the medical devices remain sterile and dried.
[0033] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows: When performing ultrasonic cleaning of medical devices, the present invention first pours the cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 18, and then places the medical devices to be cleaned into the loading basket 20. At this time, the medical devices are immersed in the cleaning liquid. Then, the lifting rod 2 is held by the hand to place the top cover 3 on the top of the casing 5. The control panel 10 controls the cleaning controller 9 to start through the wire. The cleaning controller 9 controls the ultrasonic generator 11 to start through the wire. The ultrasonic generator 11 controls the ultrasonic transducer 19 to emit ultrasonic waves to the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 18 through the wire. The cleaning liquid generates a cavitation effect to perform oscillation cleaning of the medical devices. After the first cleaning is completed, the cleaning controller 9 controls the micro electric water valve 16 installed on the drain pipe 7 to open through the wire, and the cleaning liquid is discharged through the drain pipe 7. Washing tank 18, after the cleaning liquid is discharged, the cleaning controller 9 controls the micro electric water valve 16 installed on the drain pipe 7 to close, and the cleaning controller 9 controls the micro electric water valve 16 installed on the water inlet pipe 8 to open through the wire. The water inlet pipe 8 guides the clean water in the external water pipe into the cleaning tank 18 until the clean water soaks the medical equipment in the loading basket 20. The cleaning controller 9 controls the micro electric water valve 16 installed on the water inlet pipe 8 to close, and then the ultrasonic generator 11 controls the ultrasonic transducer 19 to emit ultrasonic waves to the clean water in the cleaning tank 18 for secondary immersion cleaning of the medical equipment. After the clean water cleaning is completed, the cleaning controller 9 controls the micro electric water valve 16 installed on the drain pipe 7 to open again, and the cleaning liquid is discharged from the cleaning tank 18 through the drain pipe 7. At this time, the cleaning controller The motor 23 is controlled to drive the gear 22 to rotate. Since the gear 22 is meshed and connected to the outer tooth structure of the turntable 25, the turntable 25 drives the two sets of bosses 26 to rotate around the vertical center axis of the turntable 25. The two sets of bosses 26 push the groove walls of the two sets of slides 24 respectively, so that the two sets of slides 24 move apart in opposite directions along the guide support rods 15. The two sets of slides 24 push the two sets of connecting rods 21 to flip. The four sets of connecting rods 21 synchronously push the two sets of lifting frames 17 to move vertically upward along the grooves of the frame frame 27. The lifting frame 17 drives the loading basket 20 to move upward and out of the washing tank 18. At this time, the loading basket 20 carrying the medical equipment goes deep into the inside of the top cover 3. Then the medical staff controls the drying and dehydration control machine 1 to start. The drying and dehydration control machine 1 controls the electric heating through the wires. The tube 12, the fan 13 and the UVLED ultraviolet lamp board 14 are started synchronously. The UVLED ultraviolet lamp board 14 generates ultraviolet light to irradiate the medical devices in the loading basket 20 for sterilization. The fan 13 generates wind to blow the heat generated by the electric heating tube 12 to the surface of the medical devices on the loading basket 20. The moisture on the surface of the medical devices is vaporized by the heat. The wind force of the fan 13 blows the vaporized moisture to the groove on the left side of the top cover 3 for discharge, thereby completing the sterilization and drying work of the medical devices after cleaning. After drying is completed, the drying and water removal control machine 1 controls the electric heating tube 12, the fan 13 and the UVLED ultraviolet lamp board 14 to turn off, and the lifting rod 2 is held to remove the top cover 3 from the top of the casing 5, and then the loading basket 20 is removed from the lifting frame 17.
[0034] All of the above components are installed, connected, or set up using common mechanical methods, such as welding, threaded connections, and screw connections. The specific structures, models, and coefficient indicators of all components are proprietary technologies, and any method that can achieve beneficial effects may be implemented. The drying and water removal controller 1, cleaning controller 9, control panel 10, ultrasonic generator 11, electric heating tube 12, fan 13, UVLED lamp panel 14, micro electric water valve 16, ultrasonic transducer 19, and motor 23 used above are all commonly available components on the market.
