[0001] This invention relates to the field of infant care equipment technology, specifically to a fully automatic sterilization incubator. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of infant care equipment, infant incubators have always played a vital role, providing infants, especially newborns, with a relatively stable and suitable temperature and humidity environment, which greatly improves the survival rate of special infants such as low birth weight infants and premature infants. However, there are still many problems to be solved in the field of incubator sterilization.
[0003] Current methods for disinfecting infant incubators primarily rely on manual disinfection. Medical staff need to regularly wipe and disinfect the inside and corners of the incubator manually. This process is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but also quite cumbersome. Furthermore, the corners inside the incubator are difficult to reach, making it hard to achieve a comprehensive and thorough disinfection. This can easily lead to blind spots in disinfection, leaving germs inside the incubator and posing a potential threat to the infant's health. In addition, the varying levels of skill and diligence among different medical staff during manual disinfection make it difficult to guarantee consistent and stable disinfection results.
[0004] Therefore, it is of great importance to design a fully automatic disinfection chamber to solve the above-mentioned defects. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention designs a fully automatic sterilization incubator. This fully automatic sterilization incubator aims to solve the technical problems of manual sterilization methods for infant incubators under existing technologies, such as high labor and time consumption, cumbersome operation, difficulty in achieving comprehensive and thorough sterilization, easy retention of sterilization dead spots, and lack of consistency and stability in sterilization effects.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A fully automatic disinfection chamber includes a chamber body, a top cover fixedly installed on the top of the chamber body, ultraviolet disinfection lamps fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the bottom of the top cover, and an automatic disinfection component fixedly installed at the bottom of the top cover and inside the chamber body. The automatic disinfection assembly includes a threaded rod rotatably connected to the front end of the bottom of the top cover.

The front end of the movable frame is threadedly connected to the threaded rod, and the rear end of the movable frame is slidably connected to the guide rod. A first motor is fixedly installed at the front end of the right side of the top cover, and the drive end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the right end of the threaded rod. A second motor is fixedly installed on the side of the movable frame away from each other. Rotating tubes are rotatably connected to the drive ends of the two sets of second motors. Spray plates are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the two sets of rotating tubes. Multiple sets of spray nozzles are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the left and right ends of the multiple sets of spray plates. Liquid guide tube frames are rotatably connected to the outer sides of the two sets of rotating tubes. Delivery hoses are fixedly connected to the top ends of the two sets of liquid guide tube frames, and the delivery hoses extend to the outer side of the incubator body.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, mounting seats are installed at both ends of the threaded rod and the guide rod, the left and right ends of the threaded rod are rotatably connected to the mounting seats, and the left and right ends of the guide rod are fixedly connected to the mounting seats.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a diffuser is fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the multiple sets of nozzles, and a baffle is threadedly connected to the end of each of the multiple sets of nozzles away from the spray plate and located inside the diffuser. Multiple sets of spray holes are opened on the outer side of the multiple sets of gravel nozzles and between the baffle and the diffuser.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper and lower ends of the liquid guide tube frame are fixedly connected to the connection points of the rotating tube, and the upper and lower ends of the rotating tube are rotatably connected to the connecting sleeves. Rubber sealing rings are fitted on the outer side of the rotating tube and at the upper and lower ends of the connecting sleeves. Multiple sets of liquid guide holes are opened on the outer side of the rotating tube and inside the connecting sleeves.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, both the front and rear ends of the bottom of the liquid guide tube frame are rotatably connected with rollers, and the outer side of the rollers abuts against the bottom of the interior of the incubator.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a movable base is fixedly installed at the bottom of the incubator body, a control panel is installed at the middle of the top of the movable base, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the incubator body, and a valve is attached to the drain pipe.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the left and right ends of the front and rear sides of the top cover are fixedly connected to the incubator body by latches.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: In this invention, through the combined design of ultraviolet disinfection lamps and automatic disinfection components, when disinfecting the interior of the incubator, the first motor is activated to drive the threaded rod to rotate. Because the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the front end of the top cover, and the guide rod is fixedly connected to the rear end and guides the movable frame, the front end of the movable frame is threadedly connected to the threaded rod, and the rear end is slidably connected to the guide rod, thus achieving left and right movement.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0017] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution: An automatic disinfection chamber includes a chamber body 1, a top cover 2 fixedly installed on the top of the chamber body 1, and ultraviolet disinfection lamps 3 fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the bottom of the top cover 2. After the ultraviolet disinfection lamps 3 are embedded in the top cover 2, the four corners of the bottom of the ultraviolet disinfection lamps 3 are fixedly installed inside the top cover 2 by screws. An automatic disinfection component 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top cover 2 and inside the chamber body 1.
[0018] First, in this embodiment, the specific structure of the automatic disinfection component 4 is as follows: The automatic disinfection component 4 includes a threaded rod 401 rotatably connected to the front end of the bottom of the top cover 2. A guide rod 402 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the bottom of the top cover 2. A movable frame 403 is installed between the guide rod 402 and the threaded rod 401. The front end of the movable frame 403 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 401, and the rear end of the movable frame 403 is slidably connected to the guide rod 402. A first motor 404 is fixedly installed at the front end of the right side of the top cover 2. The first motor 404 is fixedly installed on the right side of the top cover 2 by screws, and the drive end of the first motor 404 is fixedly connected to the right end of the threaded rod 401. The drive end of the first motor 404 is connected to the right end of the threaded rod 401 through a coupling. Two sets of second motors 405 are fixedly installed on the opposite side of the movable frame 403, and both sets of second motors 405 are fixed to the opposite side of the movable frame 403 by screws. Rotating tubes 406 are rotatably connected to the drive ends of both sets of second motors 405. Spray plates 407 are fixedly connected to both ends of the two sets of rotating tubes 406. Multiple sets of spray nozzles 408 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of both ends of the multiple sets of spray plates 407. The spray plates 407 and spray nozzles 408 are integrally injection molded with the rotating tubes 406. Liquid guide tube supports 409 are rotatably connected to the outer side of both sets of rotating tubes 406. The top of both sets of liquid guide tube supports 409 is... A delivery hose 410 is fixedly connected, and the delivery hose 410 is connected to the liquid guide tube frame 409 by a pipe joint. The delivery hose 410 extends to the outside of the incubator body 1. When disinfecting the inside of the incubator body 1, the first motor 404 is started, and its drive end drives the threaded rod 401 to rotate. When the threaded rod 401 rotates, the moving frame 403 will move linearly along the guide rod 402, realizing the left and right movement of the moving frame 403 between the threaded rod 401 and the guide rod 402. The second motor 405 on the moving frame 403 drives the rotating tube 406 to rotate, and the spray plates 407 installed at the upper and lower ends of the rotating tube 406 also rotate accordingly. Simultaneously, the disinfectant liquid is delivered to the liquid guide frame 409 through the delivery hose 410, and then flows into the rotating tube 406 through the liquid guide hole 417, and finally sprayed out from the nozzle 408 on the spray plate 407, realizing large-area disinfection spraying of the inside of the incubator 1. It should be emphasized that all components of the automatic disinfection component 4 are made of waterproof and corrosion-resistant materials, which effectively prevents the components from direct contact with the disinfectant liquid and avoids damage due to the corrosion of the disinfectant liquid. This ensures that the normal working process of the automatic disinfection component 4 is not affected, and ensures that it can operate stably and for a long time, and successfully realize the efficient and comprehensive disinfection function of the inside of the incubator 1.The delivery hose 410 is connected to a disinfectant storage tank and a pressure pump. The disinfectant is stored in a dedicated storage tank. The pressure pump applies pressure to the disinfectant in the tank, and under pressure, the disinfectant is pumped into the delivery hose 410. Then, it passes through the liquid guide bracket 409 and the rotating pipe 406, and is finally sprayed out quickly and stably from the nozzle 408. This design ensures a continuous and stable supply of disinfectant liquid with sufficient pressure and a stable flow rate, enabling large-area and efficient disinfection spraying inside the incubator 1. After disinfection is completed and the waste liquid is drained, the delivery hose 410 is connected to an external clean water source to thoroughly flush the inside of the incubator 1. After rinsing to remove visible disinfectant residue and draining the waste liquid, the existing temperature components of the incubator 1 are used for drying to remove excess moisture, ensuring that the incubator 1 is clean and free of obvious disinfectant residue. Then, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 3 is turned on for disinfection. This avoids the drawbacks of manual disinfection, such as the large amount of manpower and time consumed and the cumbersome operation. The automated spraying and rinsing mechanism achieves all-round, no-dead-angle disinfection and cleaning of the inside of the incubator 1, ensuring the consistency and stability of the disinfection effect, greatly reducing the risk of residual bacteria in the incubator 1, effectively protecting the health of infants, and ensuring a safe and hygienic environment inside the incubator.
[0019] Furthermore, mounting seats 411 are installed at both ends of the threaded rod 401 and the guide rod 402. The left and right ends of the threaded rod 401 are rotatably connected to the mounting seats 411, and the left and right ends of the guide rod 402 are fixedly connected to the mounting seats 411. The rotatable connection between the threaded rod 401 and the mounting seats 411 allows the threaded rod 401 to rotate flexibly within the mounting seats 411. The left and right ends of the guide rod 402 are fixedly connected to the mounting seats 411, providing stable support for the guide rod 402. When the automatic disinfection component 4 is working, the threaded rod 401 rotates under the drive of the first motor 404, and the mounting seats 411 ensure the stability of its rotation. At the same time, the guide rod 402 relies on the mounting seats 411 to provide stable guiding support for the moving frame 403, providing precise guidance for the movement of the moving frame 403, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the automatic disinfection component 4.
[0020] Then, a diffuser 412 is fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the multiple sets of nozzles 408. The multiple sets of diffuser 412 are integrally injection molded with the nozzles 408. A baffle 413 is threadedly connected to the end of each set of nozzles 408 away from the spray plate 407 and located inside the diffuser 412. Multiple sets of spray holes 414 are opened on the outer side of the multiple sets of gravel nozzles 408 and between the baffle 413 and the diffuser 412. During the disinfection spraying process, when the disinfectant liquid is sprayed from the nozzles 408, it first impacts the baffle 413. Because the threaded connection between the baffle 413 and the nozzles 408 is fixed... The liquid is blocked and diverted by the baffle 413, changing its flow direction. It is then dispersed and sprayed out through multiple sets of spray holes 414 set between the baffle 413 and the diffuser 412. The diffuser 412 further expands the spray range of the disinfectant liquid, thereby providing more comprehensive coverage and disinfection of the interior of the incubator 1. This ensures that all corners inside the incubator 1 receive the disinfectant liquid more evenly, reducing disinfection dead spots and greatly improving the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of disinfection. At the same time, the threaded baffle 413 is easy to disassemble and replace, facilitating the maintenance and cleaning of the spray nozzles 408.
[0021] Furthermore, connecting sleeves 415 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the liquid guide tube frame 409 at the connection points with the rotating tube 406. The connecting sleeves 415 and the liquid guide tube frame 409 are integrally injection molded, and the upper and lower ends of the rotating tube 406 are rotatably connected to the connecting sleeves 415. Rubber sealing rings 416 are fitted on the outer side of the rotating tube 406 and at the upper and lower ends of the connecting sleeves 415. Multiple sets of liquid guide holes 417 are opened on the outer side of the rotating tube 406 and inside the connecting sleeves 415. During the disinfectant liquid transportation process, the connecting sleeves 415 are fixedly connected to the liquid guide tube frame 409. The connection points at the upper and lower ends of the rotating tube 406 ensure a tight and stable connection. The upper and lower ends of the rotating tube 406 can rotate freely within the connecting sleeve 415. The rubber sealing ring 416 is fitted on the outside of the rotating tube 406 and located at the upper and lower ends of the connecting sleeve 415 to provide a seal and prevent leakage of the disinfectant liquid. The disinfectant liquid flows into the liquid guide tube frame 409 through the delivery hose 410, and then flows into the interior of the rotating tube 406 through multiple sets of liquid guide holes 417 located on the outside of the rotating tube 406 and inside the connecting sleeve 415, and finally sprays out from the nozzle 408.
[0022] The bottom of the liquid guide tube frame 409 is rotatably connected to both the front and rear ends of the bottom, and the outer side of the support roller 418 abuts against the bottom of the incubator body 1. When the automatic disinfection component 4 is running, the outer side of the support roller 418 always remains in contact with the bottom of the incubator body 1. The support roller 418 moves and rotates with the liquid guide tube frame 409, providing stable support for the liquid guide tube frame 409.
[0023] Secondly, a movable base 101 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the incubator body 1. The top of the movable base 101 is fixed to the bottom of the incubator body 1 with screws. A control panel 102 is installed in the middle of the top of the movable base 101. A drain pipe 103 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the incubator body 1. The rear end of the drain pipe 103 has an external thread and is fixed to the incubator body 1 by threaded connection. A valve is attached to the drain pipe 103. The movable base 101 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the incubator body 1, providing a support structure for the movement of the incubator body 1, which facilitates the movement and position adjustment of the incubator by the staff as needed. The control panel 102 is installed in the middle of the top of the movable base 101. The staff can operate and control various functions of the incubator through the control panel 102, such as starting or stopping the automatic disinfection component 4, setting the drying temperature and time, and adjusting the delivery parameters of the disinfection liquid. After disinfection, the valve attached to the drain pipe 103 is opened, and the waste liquid in the incubator will be discharged through the drain pipe 103.
[0024] Finally, the top cover 2 is fixedly connected to the incubator body 1 at both ends of the front and rear sides by the latches 201. When it is necessary to operate inside the incubator body 1, such as maintaining the automatic disinfection component 4, cleaning the incubator body 1, or taking care of the baby, the top cover 2 can be opened by opening the latches 201. When the incubator body 1 is in normal use, the top cover 2 is firmly fixed to the incubator body 1 by fastening the latches 201.
[0025] In this embodiment, the specific implementation scenario is as follows: When disinfecting the interior of the incubator 1, the first motor 404 is started to drive the threaded rod 401 to rotate. Because the threaded rod 401 is rotatably connected to the bottom front end of the top cover 2, and the guide rod 402 is fixedly connected to the rear end and guides the movable frame 403, the front end of the movable frame 403 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 401, and the rear end is slidably connected to the guide rod 402, thereby realizing left and right movement. At the same time, the second motor 405 on the movable frame 403 drives the rotating tube 406 to rotate, driving the upper and lower spray plates 407 to rotate. Through the delivery hose 410 of the external storage tank and the pressurization pump device, the disinfectant liquid is delivered to the liquid guide frame 409, and then through the rotating tube 406. The liquid flows into the rotating tube 406 through the guide hole 417 and is finally sprayed out from the nozzle 408 to achieve large-area disinfection spray. After disinfection, it is rinsed with an external clean water source, and then dried using the temperature component built into the existing incubator body 1. Finally, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 3 is turned on for disinfection. The whole operation process is simple and convenient. This invention avoids the drawbacks of manual disinfection, such as the large amount of manpower and time wasted and the operation is cumbersome. It uses an automated spraying and rinsing mechanism to achieve all-round, no dead angle disinfection and cleaning inside the incubator body 1, ensuring the consistency and stability of the disinfection effect, greatly reducing the risk of residual bacteria inside the incubator body 1, effectively protecting the health of infants, and ensuring a safe and hygienic environment inside the incubator.
[0026] Furthermore, the control method of the present invention is controlled by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Since the present invention is intended to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail here.
[0027] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
