Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermometer disinfection devices, in particular to a circulation type thermometer disinfection device. Background Art

[0002] Body temperature is one of the four major vital signs of the human body and plays a very important role in the human body. Medical staff often need to judge the patient's physical signs by body temperature during diagnosis and treatment, so as to provide a reliable basis for diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Therefore, the thermometer, as a tool that can accurately judge and measure human body temperature, is an indispensable medical supply in diagnosis and treatment. Among them, mercury thermometers have been widely used due to their advantages such as accurate measurement, convenient carrying, and economical applicability. Usually, medical staff will measure the body temperature of patients regularly. In clinical practice, it is common for the same thermometer to be used by multiple patients, and the thermometer needs to directly contact the patient's skin when used. In some cases, the thermometer entrance is also required for temperature measurement. In order to prevent cross-infection of diseases, the thermometer must be disinfected after use.

[0003] Most of the thermometer disinfection devices currently available on the market use the method of immersing the thermometer in disinfectant to disinfect the thermometer. This disinfection method is inconvenient to take out. Medical staff need to use their hands or other tools to fish it out, which can easily cause contamination of the disinfectant. After taking it out, the thermometer needs to be wiped and disinfected additionally, which increases the workload of medical staff and reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

When in use, a proper amount of clean water is placed in the open container 400, and a disinfectant tablet is placed from the open part of the open container 400 into the clean water in the open container 400 to form a disinfectant with a concentration of 500 mg / l; the bracket 200 is vertically arranged in the open container 400, and the bracket 200 includes a fixed plate fixedly sleeved on the driving mechanism 300, and a first annular fixed plate and a first annular fixed plate. The mounting plate is arranged on the axis, and the fixing plate and the mounting plate are fixedly connected by at least two supporting rods. Three thermometer boxes 100 are evenly arranged on the mounting plate along the circumferential direction of the bracket 200 and are all vertically rotatably connected to the mounting plate. A leakage hole is arranged on the bottom surface of the thermometer box 100. The thermometer box 100 arranged on the mounting plate can rise out of or sink into the disinfectant liquid surface as the bracket 200 rotates. During this process, the disinfectant in the open container 400 can enter or be discharged from the thermometer box through the leakage hole at the bottom of the thermometer box 100, or stay in the thermometer box to soak the thermometer.
