Ethylene oxide sterilization device is widely used in medical equipment, medicine, textiles, rubber and plastics and other fields.
[0003] The prior art publication number is CN220801544U, which is a dosing device for an ethylene oxide sterilizer. The dosing device includes a sterilizing cabinet and an ethylene oxide gas cylinder. A fixed cylinder is installed on one side of the sterilizing cabinet. The inner cavity of the fixed cylinder is provided with a connecting pipe. The ethylene oxide gas cylinder is connected to the connecting pipe through an air inlet pipe. The inner cavity of the sterilizing cabinet is fixedly provided with a partition passed by the connecting pipe. One side of the fixed cylinder is provided with an input pipe located below the partition and connected to the inner cavity of the sterilizing cabinet. The inner cavity of the fixed cylinder is provided with a filter screen below the partition. The inner cavity of the fixed cylinder is provided with a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the filter screen.
[0004] The ethylene oxide sterilizer filters the ethylene oxide entering the sterilization cabinet through a filter screen to prevent metal impurities contained in the ethylene oxide from entering the interior of the sterilization cabinet.
