Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of surgical instrument recovery vehicles, in particular to a recovery vehicle capable of reading RFID tags of surgical instruments. Background Art
[0002] Surgical instruments are reusable equipment, so they need to be recycled after use before they can be cleaned, disinfected, maintained, inspected, and other subsequent processing steps. Surgical instruments with RFID tags are especially important. Since they are rented surgical instruments, they will circulate in different hospitals with a wide range of circulation, so special attention needs to be paid when recycling them.
[0003] However, when recycling surgical instruments with existing recycling vehicles that can read RFID tags, the surgical instruments need to be placed in a reading area for information reading. This process will cause contact with other objects. If not disinfected in time, it is easy to cause secondary contamination of the reading area by the surgical instruments. In addition, after completing the tag reading of the surgical instrument, the recycling personnel need to remember the information displayed by the reader, and then find the classification and put it into the instrument box with the corresponding tag information in the recycling vehicle. When a large number of surgical instruments need to be recycled, it is easy to confuse the tag information, resulting in the surgical instruments being easily placed in the wrong instrument box during recycling, which is not conducive to the smooth recycling of surgical instruments.

For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present embodiment can read the recovery vehicle of RFID-tagged surgical instruments, including a vehicle body 1, a reader 2 is fixedly installed on one side wall of the vehicle body 1, a single-chip computer 20 is electrically connected to one side wall of the reader 2, a mesh plate 5 is provided at the bottom of the reader 2, a vertical rod 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mesh plate 5, a button switch 19 is fixedly installed directly below the vertical rod 18, a side wall of the button switch 19 is electrically connected to an atomizing pump 11, a bottom box 6 is provided at the bottom of the mesh plate 5, the interior of the bottom box 6 is filled with a disinfectant 10, a door 7 is hinged on the front of the vehicle body 1, a wheel 8 is installed at the bottom end of the vehicle body 1, a layer plate 12 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the vehicle body 1, an instrument frame 13 is movably connected to the top of the layer plate 12, an indicator light 14 is provided on one side of the instrument frame 13, and a built-in battery 15 is installed at the bottom of the inner side of the vehicle body 1.
[0031] Specifically, the vehicle body 1 is composed of a vehicle compartment and a vehicle base, and structures such as the layer plate 12 and the instrument frame 13 are all located inside the vehicle compartment, while structures such as the handrail 3 and the reader 2 are all located on the outer wall of one side of the vehicle compartment. At the same time, the vehicle compartment can form a relatively closed space after the door 7 is closed, so that the surgical instruments recovered in the vehicle compartment can circulate in a closed state, thereby reducing secondary pollution. The reader 2 is a contactless RFID reader 2, so that the surgical instruments only need to be placed in the sensing identification area where the mesh plate 5 is located for information reading, thereby avoiding contact between the surgical instruments and the reader 2. A chip and a corresponding programming are implanted in the single-chip microcomputer 20, so that after the reader 2 reads the information corresponding to the RFID tag on the surgical instrument, the indicator light 14 at the corresponding position can be controlled by the single-chip microcomputer 20 through the programming program to light up, thereby facilitating the recovery personnel to quickly find the surgical instrument. The corresponding instrument frame 13 and the mesh plate 5 can support the surgical instrument for reading the label information, and at the same time, the disinfectant 10 sprayed by the atomizer pump 11 can contact the surface of the surgical instrument, so as to facilitate the preliminary disinfection of the surgical instrument and the reading and identification area where the surgical instrument is located, and reduce the secondary pollution caused by the surgical instrument to the surrounding environment. After the vertical rod 18 is driven to slide down by the mesh plate 5, it will trigger the button switch 19, so that the atomizer pump 11 is powered on, thereby realizing the spraying of the atomized disinfectant 10 on the mesh plate 5. The function of the bottom box 6 is to contain the disinfectant 10. There are multiple instrument frames 13, and different instrument frames 13 are used to recycle different types of surgical instruments. At the same time, the instrument frame 13 is in an overhead state, so that there is no cross-contamination between different types of surgical instruments. The colors of the indicator lights 14 are the same, and the built-in battery 15 also provides power for the wheel 8 drive.
[0032] Furthermore, a handrail 3 is fixedly installed in the middle of one side wall of the vehicle body 1, a flat plate 4 is fixedly connected to the middle of the handrail 3, and the bottom box 6 is snap-connected with the flat plate 4. The handrail 3 facilitates the recycling personnel to push the vehicle body 1 to move, and the function of the flat plate 4 is to support the mesh plate 5, thereby realizing the driving of the vertical rod 18 and other structures by the mesh plate 5.
[0033] Furthermore, a through pipe 9 is passed through the top of one side wall of the bottom box 6 , and the through pipe 9 is connected to the interior of the bottom box 6 . The through pipe 9 is used to add disinfectant 10 to the interior of the bottom box 6 to ensure that the atomizing pump 11 can spray the atomized disinfectant 10 .
[0034] Furthermore, a card plate 17 is fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom end of the junction of the flat plate 4 and the mesh plate 5, and a spring 16 is provided on the top of the card plate 17. The spring 16 is movably connected to the vertical rod 18. The function of the spring 16 is to control the vertical rod 18 and the mesh plate 5, so that the mesh plate 5 can remain flush with the top of the flat plate 4 when not pressed down by the surgical instrument, thereby facilitating the vertical rod 18 and the button switch 19 to remain separated, so that the atomizer pump 11 does not spray the disinfectant 10 when the surgical instrument is not placed.
[0035] Furthermore, the flat plate 4 is located below the reader 2, the mesh plate 5 is movably connected to the reader 2 through the flat plate 4 and the spring 16, and the vertical rod 18 is movably connected to the button switch 19 through the mesh plate 5 and the spring 16. The spring 16 can push the mesh plate 5 and the vertical rod 18 to return to their original positions through its own deformation, thereby reducing the continuous squeezing of the vertical rod 18 on the button switch 19.
[0036] Furthermore, the input end of the atomizer pump 11 is connected through the interior of the base box 6, and the atomizer pump 11 is located directly below the mesh plate 5, so that the atomizer pump 11 can smoothly extract the disinfectant 10 in the base box 6, and can smoothly spray the atomized disinfectant 10 toward the mesh plate 5, so that the atomized disinfectant 10 can pass through the mesh plate 5 and contact the surgical instruments placed on the mesh plate 5, thereby achieving preliminary disinfection of the surgical instruments.
[0037] Furthermore, the indicator light 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the instrument frame 13, the single-chip computer 20 is electrically connected to the indicator light 14, the built-in battery 15 is electrically connected to the single-chip computer 20, the indicator light 14, the reader 2 and the atomizing pump 11, and the indicator light 14 is also electrically connected to a micro time controller, model MD1FAS1, so that the lighting time of the indicator light 14 can be extended to five seconds, so that the recycling personnel have enough time to find the corresponding instrument frame 13 position.
[0038] The method of using this embodiment is as follows: when using the recovery vehicle that can read RFID-tagged surgical instruments, first open the vehicle door 7, and then place the surgical instrument with the RFID tag on the mesh plate 5 area of the flat plate 4. At this time, the mesh plate 5 is pressed down due to the gravity of the surgical instrument, driving the vertical rod 18 at the bottom end of the mesh plate 5 to slide toward the button switch 19. At the same time, the spring 16 at the top of the vertical rod 18 is compressed until the bottom end of the vertical rod 18 triggers the button switch 19. The atomizing pump 11 will connect to the built-in battery 15, so that the atomizing pump 11 will atomize the disinfectant 10 in the bottom box 6 and spray it out from the bottom of the mesh plate 5. At this time, the atomized disinfectant 10 will pass through the mesh plate 5. The mesh contacts the surface of the surgical instrument to disinfect the surgical instrument. At the same time, the RFID tag on the surgical instrument will be read by the reader 2, so that the single-chip microcomputer 20 connected to the reader 2 controls the indicator light 14 at the corresponding position on the layer plate 12 to light up through the programmed program. Then the recycling personnel can pick up the surgical instrument from the mesh plate 5 and put it into the corresponding instrument frame 13 at the lighted position. At the same time, the mesh plate 5 and the vertical rod 18 are pushed up by the compressed spring 16. At this time, the vertical rod 18 will be separated from the button switch 19, and the power supply of the atomizing pump 11 will be cut off, so that the atomizing pump 11 will no longer spray the disinfectant 10. After completing the recycling of the surgical instrument, the car door 7 will be closed.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
