[0042] The following further elaborates on this application with reference to Figure 1 —3. The embodiments of this application disclose a postoperative inventory cart.

[0043] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, a postoperative inventory cart includes a tabletop 200, a table base 100, and a cover 300. The tabletop 200 is detachably installed on the table base 100, and an inventory grid group for placing gauze, cotton balls, or saline bottles is provided on the tabletop 200. The cover plate is used to cover the tabletop 200 to cover the inventory grid group provided on the tabletop 200, wherein a moving component 400 for placing and moving it is provided on the bottom surface of the table base 100. The table base 100 is inclined and forms an angle of about 30 degrees with the horizontal plane, improving the comfort and operation convenience of the user during use.

[0044] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the inventory grid group includes a plurality of first inventory grids 260 and a plurality of second inventory grids 230. The plurality of first inventory grids 260 are arranged along the same row or the same column. In the embodiments of this application, the first inventory grids 260 are arranged along the same row. The spacing between the first inventory grids 260 is greater than the spacing between the second inventory grids 230. Thus, the first inventory grids 260 can be used to place large gauze or accommodate medical devices such as saline bottles. The second inventory grids 230 are arranged in a matrix on the tabletop 200 for placing cotton balls or gauze and other structures.

[0045] Adopting the method of independent inventory grids makes the placement and removal of each piece of gauze or cotton ball more intuitive, reducing visual fatigue during continuous inventory. Medical staff can clearly see the remaining empty spaces at a glance, clearly master the quantity of the inventoried items, thereby accelerating the inventory speed, shortening the cleaning time after the operation, and saving valuable space for subsequent operations.

[0046] Among them, each inventory grid group is provided with a receiving box 240, that is, the receiving box 240 is arranged below the first inventory grid 260 group or the second inventory grid 230 group. Thus, when gauze or cotton balls are placed in the first inventory grid 260 during use, the blood on the gauze can be collected. Thereby calculating the blood loss and judging whether the patient needs to replenish blood according to the blood loss.

[0047] Among them, the inner cavity of the accommodating box 240 is composed of four inclined side plates. The four inclined side plates are arranged end to end in a ring, and the four inclined side walls are all inclined towards the center, avoiding the appearance of cleaning dead corners. That is, the blood flowing on the gauze will converge towards the center of the accommodating box 240, so that the calculation of the blood volume will be more accurate.

[0048] A drainage hole 250 is provided at the bottom surface of each accommodating box 240. That is, the drainage hole 250 is arranged at the intersection of the four inclined surfaces of the accommodating box 240, and one end of the drainage hole 250 communicates with the accommodating box 240, and the other end of the drainage hole 250 faces the bottom 100 of the table. In this way, all the blood in the accommodating box 240 is collected on the bottom 100 of the table, facilitating the collection by medical staff during the process of calculating the blood volume, and effectively improving the work efficiency.

[0049] A first hanging strip 220 is assembled on the side wall of the tabletop 200. The hanging strip is continuously arranged along the extending direction of the side wall of the tabletop 200, forming a stable support structure. During the process of installing the tabletop 200 onto the bottom 100 of the table, the first hanging strip 220 is accurately aligned and attached to the side wall of the bottom 100 of the table. Especially at the highest side where the bottom 100 of the table is inclined, a precise snap connection is formed to ensure that the tabletop 200 is firmly fixed and not prone to sliding.

[0050] To further enhance the positioning accuracy and structural stability, the two ends of the first hanging strip 220 are specially designed as L-shaped corners. When the hanging strip abuts against the highest side surface of the tabletop 200, the L-shaped corners at both ends can perfectly fit into the two adjacent side surfaces where the tabletop 200 and the side wall of the bottom 100 of the table intersect, achieving multi-point contact, effectively restricting any displacement of the tabletop 200 on the horizontal plane, ensuring that the tabletop 200 can remain stable and immovable after installation, and avoiding shaking or deviation due to external forces.

[0051] Through the double guarantee of multi-point contact and precise snap connection, the connection strength between the tabletop 200 and the bottom 100 of the table is significantly enhanced, ensuring the structural stability and safety during use, and is suitable for application scenarios that require frequent disassembly and assembly or bear large loads.

[0052] Two handrails 210 are provided on two opposite side walls of the tabletop 200. The two handrails 210 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the tabletop 200, facilitating the movement of the tabletop 200 during use, and reducing the contact with the surface of the tabletop 200 during the movement process, ensuring its safety and hygiene.

[0053] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, an accommodation cavity 110 with an upward opening is provided inside the table bottom 100. When the table top 200 is assembled with it, the opening direction of the accommodation cavity 110 is parallel to the table top 200, ensuring that the liquid generated during the operation can smoothly flow into the cavity. Moreover, the other end of the drainage hole 250 preset on the table top 200 directly points to the opening of the accommodation cavity 110, forming a natural drainage path, effectively collecting blood and water, avoiding splashing everywhere, and keeping the operation environment clean.

[0054] To further improve the convenience of liquid handling, a special drainage pipe 120 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the table bottom 100. This pipeline is closely connected to the inside of the accommodation cavity 110, ensuring that liquids such as blood and water can be quickly and smoothly discharged from the cavity. This design not only facilitates the centralized collection of blood and water for subsequent weight measurement, but also greatly reduces the possible leakage or scattering during the collection, transfer, and weighing processes, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the entire operation process.

[0055] The internal structure of the accommodation cavity 110 is especially designed in a conical shape. Its tip extends away from the side where the table top 200 contacts the table bottom 100, and the bottom tip just docks with the inlet of the drainage pipe 120. This design causes the collected blood to naturally converge at the lowest point of the cavity, facilitating quick discharge, while reducing the chance of liquid staying in the cavity and avoiding bacterial growth. In addition, the conical structure is also beneficial for the cleaning liquid to fully cover the inside of the cavity without leaving dead corners during the cleaning process, ensuring thorough disinfection and meeting the high-standard hygiene requirements of the operating room.

[0056] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, a table cavity is provided inside the cover body 300. A fan 320 is fixedly installed in the table cavity. Multiple narrow holes 330 corresponding to each inventory grid group are provided on the bottom surface of the table cavity. The narrow holes 330 are arranged in a long and narrow shape, that is, the width is relatively narrow and the length is long. Each narrow hole 330 corresponds to the inventory grid group on the table top 200 one by one, forming a direct and effective air flow channel. When the cover body 300 tightly covers the table top 200, the fan 320 is started, and strong air flow is directionally delivered to each inventory grid group through the narrow holes 330 to specifically handle the blood and water on the gauze.

[0057] The narrow holes 330 are designed in a long and narrow shape, that is, the width is narrow and the length is long. This structure greatly increases the air volume, effectively improves the flow rate of the air flow, and the design of the long and narrow narrow holes 330 can also ensure uniform air flow distribution. The high-speed air flow can more effectively remove the moisture on the surface of the gauze, accelerate the separation of blood and water from the gauze, and since the cover body 300 covers the table top 200, the separated blood and water enter the accommodation box 240 and flow out, thereby shortening the blood and water collection time.

[0058] A second hanging strip 340 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cover body 300. The hanging strip is also continuously arranged along the extending direction of the side wall of the tabletop 200 to form a stable support structure. During the process of installing the cover body 300 onto the tabletop 200, the second hanging strip 340 is accurately aligned with and attached to the side wall of the first scraping strip. Especially at the highest side of the inclined design of the table bottom 100, a precise snap connection is formed to ensure that the cover body 300 is firmly fixed and not prone to sliding.

[0059] A handle 310 is also fixedly connected to the top surface of the cover body 300 to facilitate the lifting and placement of the cover body 300.

[0060] After the tabletop 200 is disassembled, the table bottom 100 can be used alone as a debridement cart, and can also be used as a mobile auxiliary cart when covered. An LCD screen for displaying time, weather, and controlling the rotation of the fan 320 is arranged outside the table bottom 100.

[0061] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, the moving component 400 includes a base 420 and a telescopic member 410. The telescopic member 410 is arranged between the table bottom 100 and the base 420. A universal wheel 430 for moving the base 420 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base 420. The telescopic member 410 is an electric cylinder fixedly connected to the base 420, and the output end of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the tabletop 200. Thus, the height of the tabletop 200 can be adjusted, and further adjusted according to the usage situation during use to suit different users and improve the comfort of using the counting cart.

[0062] Through its unique design, the postoperative counting cart solves the problem in traditional manual counting that each piece of gauze needs to be unfolded and placed to avoid overlapping. When the number of gauzes and cotton balls used during the operation is large, it is easy to make mistakes due to the distraction of manual counting, realizing the modernization upgrade of operating room management, which is of great significance for improving the quality and efficiency of medical services.

[0063] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the protection scope of the claimed rights.
