An ultrasonic working tip sterilization box device with lifting and retrieval function

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically disclosing an ultrasonic working tip disinfection box device with a lifting and retrieval function, comprising: a storage box; and a permeation mechanism disposed inside the storage box. Through the inclusion of a permeation plate, permeation holes, a limiting plate, and miniature lifting cylinders, this invention allows for individual control of different miniature lifting cylinders via an external switch button on the storage box when retrieving the working tip. This control enables the lifting rod to rise and fall, thereby raising the lifting plate. After the lifting plate is raised, the working tip placed on it can be easily retrieved. With this lifting and retrieval mechanism, nurses only need to press a button to automatically eject a specific type of working tip. During retrieval, only the handle section is touched, eliminating the need to touch the sharp working end, effectively reducing the risk of needlestick injury from occupational exposure, while protecting the working tip from human-caused damage.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to an ultrasonic working tip sterilization box device with a lifting and retrieval function. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasonic working tip sterilization box usually refers to a special sterilization container for the working tip (cleaning head / blade) of a dental ultrasonic scaler. The box usually consists of a box body and a box lid. The inside has perforated partitions or slots to fix the working tip and prevent collisions. Some designs also include silicone gaskets for better fixation and protection of the working tip.

[0003] Current storage methods often involve haphazardly placing the working tips in ordinary instrument boxes or using simple silicone supports. Retrieving them requires searching through them one by one, easily causing collisions and friction between the working tips, leading to wear, deformation, or even breakage, directly affecting clinical effectiveness and instrument lifespan. Furthermore, in the current sterilization process, working tips must first be placed in a sterilization box for sterilization before being transferred to a storage box. This process increases the risk of secondary contamination of instruments and the workload of nurses. Simultaneously, nurses need to directly handle the working tips during transfer, increasing the risk of occupational exposure. Because the working tips are sharp and slender, nurses often need to pinch the working ends directly with their hands when retrieving them, which not only easily pricks their fingers but may also contaminate the instrument through contact with the working ends. Existing sterilization boxes are mostly flip-top designs, with working tips tightly packed together, making retrieval inconvenient and affecting clinical work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultrasonic working tip sterilization box device with a lifting and retrieval function, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing ultrasonic working tip sterilization boxes do not have a lifting and retrieval function when the working tip is retrieved.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An ultrasonic working tip sterilization box device with lifting and retrieval function includes:

[0007] Storage box;

[0008] The permeation mechanism is located inside the storage box. The permeation mechanism includes a permeation plate with multiple permeation holes on its outer surface, an installation groove on its outer surface, and an installation plate base on its top.

[0009] Waste liquid collection box, wherein the waste liquid collection box is inserted into the storage box;

[0010] A disinfection mechanism, which is rotatably connected to the top of the storage box;

[0011] A lifting mechanism is provided inside the permeation mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes a limiting plate. A miniature lifting cylinder is provided at the bottom end of the limiting plate. A lifting rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the miniature lifting cylinder. A lifting plate is fixedly connected to the top end of the lifting rod. A fixing plate is provided at the top end of the lifting plate.

[0012] A clamping mechanism is disposed outside the lifting mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting plate base is provided with multiple lifting mechanisms inside, and the mounting slot is used to install a miniature lifting cylinder.

[0014] Preferably, both the limiting plate and the lifting plate have multiple through holes and slots on their exteriors, and two fixing plates are fixedly installed on the top of the lifting plate.

[0015] Preferably, the fixing plate is used for the fixed installation of the clamping mechanism, the lifting plate is controlled by the up and down extension of the lifting rod, and the storage box is provided with multiple switch buttons on the outside, each of which corresponds to operating a different miniature lifting cylinder.

[0016] Preferably, the disinfection mechanism includes a top cover plate, a disinfectant liquid tank is installed on one side of the top cover plate, multiple flow pipes are arranged inside the top cover plate, and multiple disinfection spray heads are installed on the outside of each of the multiple flow pipes.

[0017] Preferably, the disinfection spray head is connected to the disinfectant tank through a flow pipe, and the disinfection spray head is used to disinfect the working tip. The flow pipe is located directly above the lifting mechanism.

[0018] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes an elastic clip, an abutting spring is installed on the inner sidewall of the elastic clip, and a working tip abuts against the outside of the abutting spring.

[0019] Preferably, the abutment spring is provided on both sides of the inner wall of the elastic clip, and the working tip is elastically engaged inside the elastic clip by the abutment spring.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] (1) The present invention, through the setting of the permeation plate, permeation hole, limiting plate and miniature lifting cylinder, enables the use of different miniature lifting cylinders by controlling the external switch button of the storage box when the working tip is taken out, so that the lifting rod can be raised and lowered, thereby driving the lifting plate to rise. After the lifting plate is raised, the working tip placed on the lifting plate can be easily taken out. With the lifting taking mechanism, the nurse only needs to press the button and a certain type of working tip can be automatically pushed out. When taking out, only the handle section is in contact, and there is no need to touch the sharp working end, which effectively reduces the occupational exposure risk of needlestick injury, while protecting the working tip from human damage.

[0022] (2) The present invention enables the disinfection spray head to spray disinfection on the working tips stored on the permeation mechanism through the top cover plate, disinfectant tank, elastic clip and abutment spring. The working tips can be automatically disinfected during storage. The working tips are held in place by the elastic abutment spring, and working tips of different sizes and models can be locked and fixed. The elastic clip ensures that the working tips do not shake or collide in the box, avoiding tip wear or deformation caused by mutual friction and collision between working tips, thus extending the service life of the instrument. The disinfection module is integrated into the storage box. After cleaning, the working tips can be directly put into the device for disinfection. After disinfection, there is no need to transfer them. They can be stored directly, avoiding the risk of secondary contamination, simplifying the operation process and saving nurses' working time.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, an ultrasonic working tip sterilization box device with a lifting and retrieval function includes:

[0033] Storage box 1;

[0034] The permeation mechanism 2 is disposed inside the storage box 1. The permeation mechanism 2 includes a permeation plate 201. The permeation plate 201 has multiple permeation holes 202 on its outer side. The permeation plate 201 has an installation groove 203 on its outer side. The top of the permeation plate 201 is provided with an installation plate base 204.

[0035] Waste liquid collection box 3, which is inserted inside storage box 1;

[0036] Disinfection mechanism 4 is rotatably connected to the top of storage box 1;

[0037] The lifting mechanism 5 is located inside the permeation mechanism 2. The lifting mechanism 5 includes a limiting plate 501. A miniature lifting cylinder 502 is provided at the bottom end of the limiting plate 501. A lifting rod 503 is fixedly connected to the output end of the miniature lifting cylinder 502. A lifting plate 504 is fixedly connected to the top end of the lifting rod 503. A fixing plate 505 is provided at the top end of the lifting plate 504.

[0038] A clamping mechanism 6 is disposed outside the lifting mechanism 5. Multiple lifting mechanisms 5 are disposed inside the mounting plate base 204. The mounting groove 203 is used to install miniature lifting cylinders 502. Multiple holes and slots are opened through the exterior of the limiting plate 501 and the lifting plate 504. Two fixing plates 505 are fixedly installed on the top of the lifting plate 504. The fixing plates 505 are used to fix the clamping mechanism 6. The lifting plate 504 is controlled to extend and retract up and down by the lifting rod 503. Multiple switch buttons are disposed outside the storage box 1. Each of the multiple switch buttons corresponds to controlling a different miniature lifting cylinder 502.

[0039] Specifically, after the miniature lifting cylinder 502 is in operation, it can lift the lifting rod 503 to realize the lifting adjustment control of the lifting plate 504, which facilitates the use of the working tip 603 that is locked on the fixed plate 505. Moreover, through the control of multiple switches, different miniature lifting cylinders 502 can be energized to realize the use of different types of working tips. Different types of working tips are stored on the three sets of lifting plates 504. To use a certain type of working tip, simply turn on the corresponding switch.

[0040] As can be seen from the above, when retrieving the working tip, medical staff can precisely control different miniature lifting cylinders 502 via the switch button on the outside of the storage box 1. This design allows for independent driving of a single model of working tip; that is, after pressing the corresponding button, the corresponding miniature lifting cylinder 502 is activated, pushing the lifting rod 503 inside it to move stably up and down in the vertical direction. When the lifting rod 503 moves upward, it will simultaneously drive the lifting plate 504 fixed to it to rise, so that the lifting plate 504 originally stored in the storage box 1 (whose surface is pre-fixed with a specific model) can rise synchronously. The working tip 603 gradually emerges from the opening of the box; after the lifting plate 504 rises to the appropriate height, the nurse only needs to press the corresponding button with one hand and gently grasp the handle of the working tip 603 to complete the retrieval, without having to touch the sharp working end throughout the process; this lifting retrieval mechanism not only significantly reduces the risk of occupational exposure (such as needlestick injuries and other sharp instrument injuries) caused by directly grasping the working tip, but also effectively reduces accidental collisions or wear on the tip caused by human operation by avoiding contact and friction between the fingers and the working end, thus taking into account both the safety of medical staff and the integrity of the medical device.

[0041] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the disinfection mechanism 4 includes a top cover plate 401. A disinfectant liquid tank 402 is installed on the outside of one side of the top cover plate 401. Multiple flow pipes 403 are arranged inside the top cover plate 401. Multiple disinfection spray heads 404 are installed on the outside of each of the multiple flow pipes 403. The disinfection spray heads 404 are connected to the disinfectant liquid tank 402 through the flow pipes 403. The disinfection spray heads 404 are used to disinfect the working tip. The flow pipes 403 are located directly above the lifting mechanism 5.

[0042] Specifically, the disinfectant tank 402, as the liquid storage unit of the disinfection system, is pre-filled with medical-standard disinfectant cleaning solutions (such as chlorine-containing disinfectants or special enzyme cleaning solutions), which can continuously provide a stable supply of disinfectant to the disinfectant spray head 404. When preliminary disinfection of the working tip is required, the precision high-pressure nozzle inside the disinfectant spray head 404 will accurately spray the disinfectant in a mist or columnar high-pressure form onto the surface of the working tip. This high-pressure spray design not only ensures full contact between the disinfectant and all parts of the working tip, but also removes contaminants such as bloodstains and tissue debris attached to the tip through impact force. The waste liquid remaining on the surface of the working tip after disinfectant spraying... The waste liquid (including dissolved contaminants and excess disinfectant) will seep downwards through the pre-set guide holes on the lifting plate 504 and the limiting plate 501, and after being evenly diffused by the permeation plate 201, it will finally flow into the waste liquid collection box 3 located at the bottom of the device for centralized storage. After completing the disinfection operation of a batch of working tips, medical staff only need to pull out the waste liquid collection box 3 with a non-slip handle to easily pour the accumulated cleaning waste liquid into the designated medical waste liquid treatment area. This structure not only ensures the efficient execution of the disinfection process, but also realizes the standardized collection and safe disposal of waste liquid, effectively avoiding the risk of secondary pollution caused by disinfectant residue or contaminant diffusion.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] refer to Figures 1-6 As shown, the clamping mechanism 6 includes an elastic clip 601. An abutment spring 602 is installed on the inner wall of the elastic clip 601. A working tip 603 abuts against the outside of the abutment spring 602. The abutment spring 602 is provided on both sides of the inner wall of the elastic clip 601. The working tip 603 is elastically engaged inside the elastic clip 601 by the abutment spring 602.

[0045] Specifically, the elastic engagement between the abutment spring 602 and the working tip 603 enables the fixing of working tips of different sizes and models, allowing each working tip to be independently fixed in a dedicated fixing hole.

[0046] As can be seen from the above, the disinfection spray head 404, as the core execution component of the disinfection module, can precisely spray disinfectant onto the working tips positioned in the storage area above the penetration mechanism 2. This spraying system, through its built-in fine atomizing nozzle or directional high-pressure nozzle, evenly covers the tip, handle, and connecting parts of the working tip with disinfectant, enabling continuous automatic disinfection and protection of the working tip even in storage, effectively inhibiting microbial growth. Simultaneously, the working tip 603 is stably engaged and fixed by the abutment spring 602 in the elastic clamping mechanism 6. This mechanism utilizes the elastic restoring force of the spring to adaptively adjust according to the diameter differences of different sizes and models of the working tip 603, ensuring that working tips of various specifications can be firmly clamped in the designated position. This elastic clamping design not only provides reliable positioning support for the working tip but also effectively… This design prevents the working tips from shaking, colliding, or shifting inside the housing, fundamentally avoiding problems such as tip wear, blade dulling, or structural deformation caused by mutual friction and collision between the working tips, significantly extending the service life of precision instruments. More importantly, this device innovatively integrates the disinfection module with the storage housing, allowing the working tips to be directly placed inside the device for in-situ disinfection after the cleaning process. After disinfection, there is no need to transfer them to other containers or storage cabinets; they can be safely stored directly in the clean environment after disinfection. This design effectively blocks the risk of secondary contamination that may be caused by contact between the disinfected working tips and the external environment, and simplifies the traditional multi-step operation process of "cleaning-transfer-disinfection-retransfer-storage," greatly saving nurses' time costs for round-trip processing and improving clinical work efficiency and the standardization of instrument management.
