Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater washing tank technology, and more specifically, to a wastewater washing tank for operating rooms. Background Technology

[0002] The operating room is a crucial location within a hospital for various surgical procedures, and its hygiene and the hand hygiene and disinfection practices of medical staff directly impact the success rate of surgeries and the health and safety of patients. Hand cleaning and disinfection before, during, and after surgery are particularly important for medical staff, as hands are the primary point of contact between them and patients. However, existing operating room wastewater treatment tanks have several shortcomings in practical use, failing to meet the demands of modern operating rooms for efficient, hygienic, and intelligent operations.

[0003] Existing waste disposal tanks have a relatively simple structure, and medical staff typically need to use manual disinfectant bottles for sterilization, which involves directly pressing the cap with their hands to dispense the disinfectant. While this method is simple, it has significant drawbacks in practical use: medical staff's hands may already carry germs or viruses, and during the pressing process, germs can easily remain on the bottle or the dispensing device, leading to cross-infection when subsequent users come into contact with them. Furthermore, in high-intensity, continuous surgical procedures, frequent contact with disinfectant bottles increases the risk of infection, failing to meet the stringent hygiene requirements of "zero-contact operation" in operating rooms.

[0004] Traditional wastewater treatment tanks rely on manual rinsing for cleaning and typically only have basic water supply and drainage functions, lacking automated cleaning systems. Over prolonged use, dirt, blood residue, and other medical waste easily accumulate inside the tanks. This not only leads to bacterial growth and unpleasant odors but also increases the risk of secondary contamination. Furthermore, manual cleaning of wastewater treatment tanks is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the cleaning effect is difficult to guarantee, failing to meet the stringent sterility standards of operating rooms.

[0005] The working environment inside the operating room places extremely high demands on time and ease of operation. However, the design of traditional handwashing basins does not fully consider the usage habits of medical staff in actual operations, resulting in numerous inconveniences. For example, hand disinfection with disinfectant requires multiple manual steps, making quick and convenient operation impossible. In emergency surgeries or high-intensity work situations, this cumbersome procedure can lead to wasted time and affect the smooth progress of the surgery. Furthermore, the cumbersome manual operation can easily lead to operational errors by medical staff under high pressure, further impacting work efficiency and surgical safety.

[0006] Wastewater generated during surgery, such as handwashing water and wastewater containing blood and medication, can cause environmental pollution in the operating room and even affect the hospital's overall hygiene management if discharged directly without effective filtration and collection. Existing wastewater treatment tanks typically lack dedicated wastewater separation and collection devices, and drainage systems are easily clogged by solid medical waste (such as gauze and cotton swabs), increasing pipe maintenance costs. Furthermore, indiscriminate discharge of wastewater can also pollute the hospital's sewage system, failing to meet the environmental protection requirements of modern medical equipment.

[0007] With the development of smart healthcare technology, hospitals are increasingly demanding intelligent management of medical equipment. However, existing operating room wastewater treatment tanks remain at the level of basic mechanical structure design, lacking intelligent monitoring and automated management functions. For example, they cannot monitor the cleanliness status and waste liquid storage in real time, requiring medical staff to rely on experience for maintenance, resulting in low equipment operating efficiency. Furthermore, existing technology fails to integrate with hospital management systems, lacking remote monitoring capabilities and thus failing to effectively improve the level of intelligent equipment management.

[0008] In summary, existing operating room wastewater treatment tanks have numerous shortcomings in terms of hand hygiene, wastewater treatment, cleaning and maintenance, and intelligent management, making it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of operating rooms for efficient, hygienic, and aseptic operations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more comprehensive operating room wastewater treatment tank that can effectively address the risk of cross-infection, improve automated cleaning and wastewater treatment capabilities, and enhance operational convenience and equipment management efficiency through intelligent design, thereby providing a safer, more hygienic, and efficient working environment for operating rooms.

A pedal 2 is hinged to the bottom end of the second movable rod 17.

[0029] In this embodiment: a support circular plate 15 is provided on one side of the outer ring of the first movable rod 14, and a spring 16 is provided on the side of the top surface of the support circular plate 15 that is close to the top inner wall of the sludge washing tank body 1, which is surrounded by the outer ring of the first movable rod 14.

[0030] In practical use: After squeezing the top of the sterilization bottle, release the pedal 2. At this time, the first movable rod 14 can restore the pressing plate 6 to its original position under the action of the supporting circular plate 15 and the spring 16.

[0031] In this embodiment: a groove is provided on the top surface of the wastewater washing tank body 1, and a storage basket 13 is slidably connected in the groove. A placement groove is provided on one side of the top surface of the storage basket 13. A baffle 10 is provided on the upper part of one side of the storage basket 13. A threaded rod 19 is rotatably connected to one side of the storage basket 13, penetrating and extending to the outside of the wastewater washing tank body 1. A handwheel 11 is provided at one end of the threaded rod 19 located outside the wastewater washing tank body 1. A threaded hole is provided on one side of the wastewater washing tank body 1, penetrating and extending into the groove of the wastewater washing tank body 1. The threaded hole matches the outer thread of the threaded rod 19. A sliding groove is provided on the bottom inner wall of the groove of the wastewater washing tank body 1. A slider is placed in the sliding groove. The outer wall of the slider is welded to the bottom surface of the storage basket 13. The vertical section of the sliding groove is T-shaped.

[0032] In practical use: First, the handwheel 11 can be turned, which will drive the threaded rod 19 to rotate, and then the storage basket 13 can be moved. After the storage basket 13 is moved out from directly under the pressing plate 6, the bottle containing disinfectant for hand washing can be placed in the placement slot opened in the storage basket 13.

[0033] In this embodiment: a fixing plate 8 is provided on one side of the top surface of the waste washing tank body 1.

When medical staff need to wash and disinfect their hands after completing surgeries or other procedures, they can rinse their hands using the sensor faucet 9 installed on the wastewater washing tank body 1, and can also use their feet to step on the pedal. 2. This will drive the second movable rod 17 to move, which in turn will drive the movable plate 18 to move, which in turn will drive the pressing plate 6 to move via the first movable rod 14. This will allow the pressing plate 6 to squeeze the top of the disinfectant bottle, squeezing the disinfectant out of the bottle. Medical staff can then catch the squeeze and apply the disinfectant to their hands, thus disinfecting their hands and preventing viral or bacterial infection, thereby protecting their health. After squeezing the top of the disinfectant bottle, the pedal 2 is released. At this time, the first movable rod 14, under the action of the supporting circular plate 15 and the spring 16, can return the pressing plate 6 to its original position.

[0037] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to several embodiments;

[0038] Example 1: A sludge washing tank with automatic water temperature regulation and cleaning functions

[0039] In this embodiment, the wastewater washing tank body 1 further includes an automatic water temperature regulation system and a cleaning system, specifically including the following structures:

[0040] Automatic water temperature regulation system: A temperature control mixing valve and a water temperature sensor are installed in the water inlet pipe of the main body 1 of the wastewater washing tank. The temperature control mixing valve automatically adjusts the ratio of cold water to hot water according to the temperature data monitored in real time by the water temperature sensor, so as to ensure that the water sprayed from the faucet 9 is always kept within the set temperature range.

[0041] The control panel is located on the side wall at the top of the main body of the wastewater washing tank 1. Medical staff can easily set the required water temperature through the touch screen, and it provides an automatic constant temperature function, which is suitable for different surgical scenarios.

[0042] Automatic cleaning system: Multiple self-cleaning nozzles are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the sludge washing tank body 1, and are connected to the built-in high-pressure water pump through cleaning water pipes.

[0043] After the medical staff completes the operation, they can activate the self-cleaning function through the control panel. The nozzles will spray high-pressure water to thoroughly rinse the inside of the waste washing tank, while the built-in disinfectant pipes will spray disinfectant inside.

[0044] The nozzle can rotate 360 ​​degrees to ensure that the inner walls, bottom and corners of the sludge washing tank are thoroughly cleaned, avoiding the residue of dirt and bacteria.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] Medical staff can activate the cleaning function through the control panel. The system automatically starts the cleaning program, which includes two stages: high-pressure water rinsing and disinfectant spraying. Finally, the sewage is discharged through the drain outlet to ensure that the wastewater washing pool remains clean and hygienic.

[0047] Example 2: A sludge washing tank with automatic waste liquid separation and collection functions;

[0048] In this embodiment, the lower part of the wastewater washing tank body 1 further integrates an automatic wastewater separation and collection system, including: a wastewater separation device: a solid-liquid separation filter device is installed at the wastewater washing tank drainage pipe. When wastewater flows into the device through the drain outlet, solid impurities (such as gauze residue, cotton, etc.) are captured and temporarily stored by the filter screen, and the cleaned liquid wastewater flows into the wastewater collection tank.

[0049] The filter screen is removable, making it easy for medical staff to clean it regularly.

[0050] Waste liquid collection tank: A waste liquid collection tank with a liquid level sensor is installed below the sludge washing tank to centrally store the filtered waste liquid.

[0051] When the liquid level sensor detects that the waste liquid has reached the warning level, the system will prompt medical staff to clean up the waste liquid through an alarm or control panel.

[0052] The waste liquid collection tank is designed with a sealed seal to prevent waste liquid leakage and odor spread, and meets medical and health standards.

[0053] Alarm and reminder device: When the waste liquid tank is full or the filter screen is clogged, the control panel on the top of the sludge washing tank will display an alarm message and emit an audible alert.

[0054] Working principle: After surgical waste fluid enters the drain outlet, it first passes through a solid-liquid separation and filtration device to filter out solid impurities. Then, the waste fluid flows into a collection tank for centralized storage. When the waste fluid tank reaches the warning level, the system automatically issues an alarm to remind staff to handle the situation promptly.

[0055] Example 3: A sludge washing tank equipped with intelligent sensing and data monitoring functions;

[0056] In this embodiment, the wastewater washing tank body 1 further integrates an intelligent sensing system and a data monitoring system, improving the intelligence level of the equipment, including:

[0057] Intelligent sensing system: The faucet 9 in the wastewater washing pool uses infrared sensing technology. The faucet automatically dispenses water when medical staff reach near it and automatically stops when they leave, thus avoiding cross-infection.

[0058] The pressure plate 6 also features a foot sensor, allowing medical staff to automatically squeeze the disinfectant bottle without touching the pressure plate after stepping on the pedal 2, ensuring a completely contactless hand cleaning process.

[0059] Data monitoring system: A touch screen control panel is installed on the top side wall of the sludge washing tank, which can display the system's working status in real time, including water temperature, waste liquid tank level, cleaning function status, etc.

[0060] The system has a built-in data logging module that automatically records the number of times the sludge washing tank is used, the cleaning cycle, and maintenance reminders.

[0061] With the network module in place, the wastewater washing tank can be connected to the hospital's management system, allowing managers to remotely monitor the equipment status and ensure timely maintenance and cleaning.

[0062] Self-check and maintenance prompt function: The system has a self-check function, which can periodically check the operating status of various components, such as sensor faucets, push-buttons, and waste liquid collection systems.

[0063] When the system detects an anomaly (such as insufficient water pressure, sensor failure, etc.), the control panel will display an alarm message and prompt staff to perform maintenance via sound.

[0064] Working principle: When medical staff use the wastewater treatment tank, the faucet and pressure plate are automatically sensed to reduce the risk of contact. The control panel monitors the equipment status in real time and records data to ensure efficient operation. The system will automatically issue an alert when the equipment malfunctions or requires maintenance.

[0065] The contents not described in detail in this description are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
