[0040] Embodiment 1
[0041] This embodiment discloses a soaking and cleaning device for a sternal retractor, as Figure 1-4 shown, which includes a machine base 1, an ultrasonic generating component 2, and an electric control component 3. A soaking tank 4 is provided at the top of the machine base 1, and a support member 5 is provided in the soaking tank 4; the support member 5 is used to lift the sternal retractor.
[0042] As Figure 4 shown, the support member 5 includes an L-shaped support member 51 and a sliding sleeve support member 52.
[0043] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, through holes 511 are evenly distributed on the surface of the L-shaped support member 51. As Figure 6As shown, the sliding sleeve support 52 includes a support seat 521 and a fixing ring 522. The bottom of the support seat 521 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the immersion tank 4, and the top of the fixing ring 522 is arranged on the support seat 521. The fixing ring 522 is used to fix the sliding sleeve of the sternal spreader from the inside.
[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the ultrasonic generating assembly 2 includes an ultrasonic generator 21 and an ultrasonic transducer 22. The ultrasonic generator 21 is arranged inside the base 1. The ultrasonic transducer 22 includes a first ultrasonic transducer 221 and a second ultrasonic transducer 222. The first ultrasonic transducer 221 is arranged on the sliding sleeve support 52 for ultrasonic cleaning of the inner wall of the sliding sleeve of the sternal spreader, and the second ultrasonic transducer 222 is used for ultrasonic cleaning of the sternal spreader as a whole. As shown in the figure, the sliding sleeve support 52 is provided with a fixing hole 523, and the first ultrasonic transducer 221 is arranged on the fixing hole 523. There are multiple second ultrasonic transducers 222, which are evenly distributed in the immersion tank 4.
[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the electric control component 3 includes a power cord 31, a control circuit board 32, and a touch screen 33. The touch screen 33 is used to input operation instructions and display the soaking time, ultrasonic time, and ultrasonic cleaning mode. The control circuit board 32 is used to receive the operation instructions of the touch screen 33 and control the ultrasonic generator 21 to work according to the instructions.
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, a top cover 41 is provided on the top of the soaking tank 4. A drain pipe 42 is provided on one side of the bottom of the soaking tank 4.
[0047] The bottom of the base 1 is also provided with an anti-skid pad 11, which is used to prevent the device from sliding during use, thereby improving the safety of use.
[0048] like Figure 7 As shown, the sternal spreader generally consists of two parallel spreader rods 6, one of which is provided with a rack 61, and the other is provided with a sliding sleeve 62 and a control handle 63 that cooperate with the rack 61. It is usually difficult for conventional cleaning devices to effectively clean the area inside the sliding sleeve 62.
[0049] However, in this solution, when cleaning the sternal spreader, Figure 8 As shown, first, the spreading rod 6 with the rack 61 is placed on the L-shaped support 51, and then the sliding sleeve 62 is put on the sliding sleeve support 52 from above, so that the sliding sleeve 62 is vertically arranged and fixed on the outside of the fixing ring 522. At this time, the first ultrasonic transducer 221 can ultrasonically clean the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 62 from the inside. The main part of the sternal spreader is ultrasonically cleaned by the second ultrasonic transducer 222.
[0050] After cleaning is completed, take out the sternal retractor, and then drain the cleaning liquid from the drain pipe 42.
[0051] The specific embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above, but they are only examples, and the present utility model is not equivalent to the specific embodiments described above. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent modifications and substitutions made to the present utility model are also within the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, equivalent transformations and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of the present utility model.
