[0002] The supplies required for surgery primarily include medical equipment and sterile items, which are typically prepared in advance by the hospital operating room based on the type of surgery. Medical staff then transport these items to the operating room using carts. This method of transportation requires strict separation between contaminated, clean, and sterile areas, employing a one-way circulation system to prevent cross-contamination. The transport corridor for sterilized surgical instruments must be physically isolated from the medical waste corridor, even requiring the use of a dedicated elevator. This entire process is not only inefficient but also susceptible to human error, compromising material safety. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.
[0021] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, or indirect connection through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0022] Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The shown embodiment is a high-efficiency material conveying equipment for an operating room, comprising a closed overhead material conveying pipe 1 installed on the ceiling of a medical system and an internal material guide box 2 for conveying materials. A longitudinal lifting material guide pipe 3 connected to the interior of the closed overhead material conveying pipe 1 is fixedly mounted at the lower end thereof, and electrically controlled longitudinal material guiding mechanisms 4 are symmetrically mounted on the inner walls on both sides of the longitudinal lifting material guide pipe 3. An electrically controlled bottom lifting cover plate 5 is mounted at the opening position of the lower end of the longitudinal lifting material guide pipe 3, and an electrically controlled flip-type side material guide plate 6 is movably mounted on the side wall of the electrically controlled longitudinal material guiding mechanism 4.
[0023] The internal material guide box 2 is transported inside the closed overhead material conveying pipeline 1. The transportation mode of the internal material guide box 2 can be self-propelled wheel drive or driven by a material guide mechanism installed inside the closed overhead material conveying pipeline 1. The specific selection is made according to the actual scenario.
[0024] When the inner material guide box 2 carrying the materials is transported to the upper opening position of the longitudinal lifting guide tube 3, the electrically-controlled longitudinal material guiding mechanism 4 drives the inner material guide box 2 to descend to the upper end of the electrically-controlled bottom lifting cover plate 5 at the lower opening of the longitudinal lifting guide tube 3, and then the electrically-controlled bottom lifting cover plate 5 is lowered to separate the inner material guide box 2 from the inside of the longitudinal lifting guide tube 3, and at the same time controls the electrically-controlled flip-type lateral material guide plate 6 to flip downward to be parallel to the electrically-controlled bottom lifting cover plate 5, and then the electrically-controlled bottom lifting cover plate 5 pushes the inner material guide box 2 horizontally to the upper end of the electrically-controlled flip-type lateral material guide plate 6, and then the electrically-controlled bottom lifting cover plate 5 is lifted upward to close the lower opening of the longitudinal lifting guide tube 3, completing the material unloading; If the operating room needs to meet the needs of both material delivery and waste recovery, multiple longitudinal lifting guide pipes 3 can be set up, one specifically for material delivery and one specifically for waste recovery to avoid cross infection.
[0025] In order to cooperate with the bottom material guide, the lower end of the closed top material conveying pipeline 1 is located at the assembly end of the vertical lifting material guide pipe 3 and is provided with a bottom side material guide port.
[0026] In order to cooperate with the longitudinal material guiding, the longitudinal lifting material guiding pipe 3 includes a longitudinal material discharge pipe 31 located at the lower end opening position of the bottom material guide port and a side material guide cover 32 fixed on the two side walls of the longitudinal material discharge pipe 31. The side material guide cover 32 closes the bottom material guide port from both sides and is fixedly connected to the closed overhead material delivery pipeline 1.
[0027] The upper end opening of the longitudinal material discharge pipe 31 is fixedly connected to the lower opening of the bottom material guide port, and the side material guide cover 32 is fixedly connected to the openings on both sides of the bottom material guide port.
[0028] In order to cooperate with the electric control adjustment and lifting, the electric control longitudinal material guiding mechanism 4 includes a side-mounted electric control conveyor belt 41 installed inside the side guide cover 32 and a side support plate 42 fixed on the outside of the side-mounted electric control conveyor belt 41.
[0029] The side-mounted electrically controlled conveyor belt 41 is driven by the driving wheel at the bottom, which is the existing technology. The driving wheel drives the conveyor belt on the outside to move, thereby driving the side support plate 42 fixed on the outside of the conveyor belt to support and lift the bottom side of the internal material guide box 2 on both sides.
[0030] In order to cooperate with the lifting adjustment and electric control translation, the electric control bottom lifting cover 5 includes a longitudinal side lifting rod 51 fixed on the inner side of the side material guide cover 32, a bottom lifting cover 52 fixed on the bottom protruding end of the longitudinal side lifting rod 51, and an electric control translation push plate 53 installed on the inner bottom surface of the bottom lifting cover 52.
[0031] The extended end of the longitudinal lifting rod 51 is fixed to the upper surface of the bottom lifting cover 52, and the height of the bottom lifting cover 52 is adjusted by extension and retraction, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the bottom material guide port.
[0032] The electrically controlled translation push plate 53 is used to push the internal material guide box 2 on the upper surface of the bottom lifting cover 52 to translate.
[0033] In order to cooperate with the electric-controlled flipping, a horizontal support frame is formed on the outside. The electric-controlled flip side guide plate 6 includes a flip support frame 61 movably mounted on the outer surface of the side guide cover 32 and a side flip support rod 62 for controlling the flip support frame 61.
[0034] The side-mounted flipping device 62 controls the flipping support frame 61 to flip on the outside by telescoping. When idle, it is longitudinally horizontal with the outside of the side material guide cover 32. When working, a platform for horizontally supporting the internal material guide box 2 is formed on the side of the lower end opening of the longitudinal lifting guide tube 3, which is convenient for supporting and placing the internal material guide box 2.
[0035] In order to coordinate with the positioning of the topmost lateral support plate 42 , an embedded top positioning module 7 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the closed top material conveying pipeline 1 .
[0036] The embedded overhead positioning module 7 is an optical ranging probe, which is an existing technology. It determines whether the position of the topmost lateral support plate 42 is level with the inner bottom surface of the closed overhead material conveying pipeline 1 by detecting the distance between it and the uppermost lateral support plate 42, without affecting the normal translation of the internal material guide box 2 inside the closed overhead material conveying pipeline 1.
[0037] In order to facilitate optical identification of the position of the internal material guide box 2 and the type of materials therein during transportation, thereby facilitating positioning, an embedded optical identification module 8 is fixedly installed at the top surface of the closed overhead material conveying pipeline 1 corresponding to the bottom material guide port.
[0038] The embedded optical recognition module 8 is used to perform downward optical scanning to locate the position of the internal material guide box 2 to be introduced. When optically scanning the material inside the internal material guide box 2, the type of material is scanned to determine whether it is the material required by the operating room at that position. If it is the material at that position, the side-mounted electrically controlled conveyor belt 41 is started by the embedded optical recognition module 8, and the side support plate 42 on the outside of the side-mounted electrically controlled conveyor belt 41 supports the internal material guide box 2 to descend until it is lowered to the electrically controlled bottom lifting cover plate, and then the electrically controlled bottom lifting cover plate descends to open the lower end opening of the longitudinal lifting guide tube 3, and then the electrically controlled bottom lifting cover plate 5 is used to push the internal material guide box 2 horizontally onto the electrically controlled flip side guide plate 6 that has been flipped downward, which is not only convenient for taking, but also can control the electrically controlled bottom lifting cover plate 5 to electrically reset and close the lower end opening of the longitudinal lifting guide tube 3 to ensure the airtightness of the operating room.
[0039] In order to cooperate with the electric control adjustment, the lower surface of the bottom lifting cover 52 is fixedly equipped with a downward-protruding embedded strip guide rail 521, and the electric control translation push plate 53 includes an electric control screw rod 531 installed inside the embedded strip guide rail 521, an internal thread translation block 532 threadedly mounted on the electric control screw rod 531, a bottom side control frame 533 fixed on the upper end of the internal thread translation block 532, and an embedded infrared positioning module 534 fixed on the side wall of the bottom side control frame 533.
[0040] The electric control screw 531 rotates, thereby driving the internal thread translation block 532 to translate along the embedded strip guide 521, thereby driving the bottom control frame 533 to slide and adjust on the bottom lifting cover 52. The embedded infrared positioning module 534 performs optical distance measurement to monitor the placement of the internal material guide box 2, thereby facilitating automatic control.
[0041] In order to cooperate with ultraviolet sterilization, an ultraviolet LED sterilization lamp 9 is fixedly installed at the inner angle position of the vertical lifting guide tube 3.
[0042] While the electrically controlled longitudinal material guiding mechanism 4 drives the internal material guiding box 2 to rise and fall inside the longitudinal lifting material guiding tube 3, the ultraviolet LED sterilization lamp 9 is automatically started to sterilize and disinfect the materials inside the internal material guiding box 2 by emitting ultraviolet rays. It can also be started to sterilize and disinfect the inner wall of the longitudinal lifting material guiding tube 3 by ultraviolet rays during idle time, thereby completing self-maintenance.
[0043] With the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention as a guide, and with reference to the above description, relevant personnel are fully capable of making various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of this invention. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
