[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 3 , which is the first embodiment of the present utility model, provides a clogging prevention mechanism. This device includes

[0038] A drainage unit 100, including a pipe 101 and a washbasin 102. Among them, the washbasin 102 is arranged on the pipe 101; after the medical staff washes their hands, the water in the washbasin 102 will first enter the water storage box 202a in the clogging prevention unit 200 along the pipe 101, and then be discharged along the pipe 101 below the water storage box 202a. And

[0039] A clogging prevention unit 200, including a connector 201 and a clogging prevention component 202. Among them, the connector 201 is arranged on the pipe 101, and the clogging prevention component 202 is arranged on the connector 201. The connector 201 is used to connect the water storage box 202a and the pipe 101.

[0040] Among them, an installation groove 203 is provided on the connecting member 201, a sealing gasket 204 is provided on the connecting member 201, and mounting bolts 205 are provided on the connecting member 201. The sizes of the connecting member 201 and the sealing gasket 204 match the size of the installation groove 203. The sealing gasket 204 is used to increase the sealing performance between the connecting member 201 and the water storage box 202a, preventing the water in the water storage box 202a from overflowing through the installation groove 203.

[0041] Among them, the anti-blocking component 202 includes a water storage box 202a arranged on the connecting member 201, a drainage double tower 202b arranged on the water storage box 202a, and drainage holes 202c arranged on the drainage double tower 202b. The drainage double tower 202b is composed of a concave member and two convex members. The drainage holes 202c are arranged on the convex members, at the top and side of the convex members. Moreover, the center line of the concave member is coaxial with the center line of the pipeline 101. The water and other impurities after handwashing in the pipeline 101 will enter the water storage box 202a along the pipeline 101. No drainage holes 202c are provided on the concave member and the inclined side connected to the concave member, and the impurities will form a precipitate on the surface of the concave member. When the water level exceeds the highest point of the convex member, it will drain along the drainage holes 202c, preventing the impurities from directly entering the pipeline 101 and affecting the drainage function of the pipeline 101.

[0042] During use, after the medical staff finishes handwashing, the water flow in the washbasin 102 is first guided into the pipeline 101 system and then flows into the water storage box 202a directly below the pipeline 101. The water storage box 202a is provided to temporarily store this water, and the pipeline 101 below the water storage box 202a drains the water smoothly. The water storage box 202a is stably placed on the connecting member 201 and fixed by the mounting bolts 205. To ensure a tight and safe connection between the water storage box 202a and the pipeline 101, an installation groove 203 and a sealing gasket 204 are provided on the water storage box 202a, and mounting bolts 205 for fixing the two are provided on the connecting member 201. Among them, the size of the sealing gasket 204 perfectly matches the installation groove 203, effectively improving the sealing effect and preventing the leakage of water in the water storage box 202a.

[0043] The drainage double towers 202b above the water storage box 202a are a key part of the anti-clogging design. It consists of a central concave part and two side convex parts. The center line of the concave part is aligned and coaxial with the center line of the pipe 101, ensuring the smooth flow of water in the pipe 101 into the water storage box 202a. The drainage holes 202c are distributed on the top and side of the convex part, forming an efficient drainage path. When the handwashing water carries impurities into the water storage box 202a, since there are no drainage holes 202c on the concave part and its connected inclined surface, these impurities gradually deposit on the surface of the concave part, avoiding direct inflow into the pipe 101 with the water and reducing the risk of clogging of the pipe 101. As the water level rises, once it reaches the highest point of the convex part, the water can flow out smoothly through the drainage holes 202c. This not only ensures the effective drainage of water but also effectively intercepts impurities, thus protecting the smoothness of the entire drainage system. When the staff cleans the water storage box 202a, they only need to rotate the mounting bolt 205 to disassemble the water storage box 202a from the connecting part 201 for cleaning.

[0044] Embodiment 2

[0045] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 This is the second embodiment of the present utility model. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the drainage double towers 202b are composed of a concave part and a convex part. Taking the center point at the bottom of the concave part as the center o, the longitudinal direction centered on the center o is the y-axis, and the transverse direction centered on the center o is the x-axis. The center line of the concave part and the center line of the pipe 101 are coaxial and both are on the y-axis. The symmetric design of the convex part and the concave part about the y-axis provides better mechanical balance, making the structure of the entire drainage double towers 202b more stable and reducing stress concentration and potential structural deformation caused by asymmetry.

[0046] Compared with Embodiment 1, further, the convex part is symmetric about the y-axis, the concave part is symmetric about the y-axis, and the drainage holes 202c on the straight surface of the convex part are arranged above the x-axis. The drainage holes 202c are located on the top and side of the convex part, allowing water to be quickly discharged from multiple directions after reaching a certain height, increasing the drainage path, thereby improving the drainage speed and efficiency. Moreover, the drainage holes 202c on the convex part are arranged above the x-axis, and such a layout can enable the water in the water storage box 202a to be quickly discharged after reaching a certain height, while avoiding the water in the water storage box 202a from staying in the concave part for too long.

[0047] During use, in the design of the drainage double towers 202b, through the cooperation of the concave part and the convex part, with the central point at the bottom of the concave part as the coordinate origin o, a drainage system framework with the y-axis as the longitudinal direction and the x-axis as the transverse direction is constructed. Such a layout not only ensures the smooth flow of water along the center line of the pipeline 101, but also enhances the overall stability of the structure of the drainage double towers 202b through the symmetrical design of the concave part and the convex part, effectively dispersing possible stress concentrations and preventing structural deformation.

[0048] The drainage holes 202c are arranged at the top and sides of the convex part, significantly improving the drainage efficiency of the drainage double towers 202b. When the water level in the water storage box 202a rises to a certain height, the water can quickly drain through these drainage holes 202c. This multi-directional drainage design not only speeds up the drainage speed, but also prevents the water from staying in the concave part for too long, reducing bacterial reproduction and odor generation. At the same time, it also avoids the deposition of impurities in the concave part.

[0049] In addition, this layout of the drainage holes 202c plays a key role in guiding the water flow, reducing the impact of the water flow on the water storage box 202a and the pipeline 101, thereby reducing wear and extending the service life of the drainage double towers 202b.

[0050] The remaining structure is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0051] Embodiment 3

[0052] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 This is the third embodiment of the present utility model. The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that a hand washer further includes

[0053] A hand washing unit 300, including a wash table 301 provided on the wash basin 102, a faucet 302 provided on the wash table 301, and a timing and reminder component 303 provided on one side of the faucet 302; As the basis of the entire hand washing unit 300, the wash table 301 supports all other components, providing an operating platform for medical staff to wash their hands. Medical staff control the water flow through the faucet 302. A water delivery pipe 304 is connected to the faucet 302 to ensure the water supply. The water outlet of the faucet 302 and the water inlet of the wash basin 102 are coaxial to ensure that the water flow directly enters the wash basin 102. And

[0054] The support unit 400 includes a support cabinet body 401 disposed on the wash basin 301, a cabinet door 402 disposed on the support cabinet body 401, and a storage room 403 disposed on the support cabinet body 401. As a part of the support unit 400, the support cabinet body 401 is fixed on the wash basin 301 to provide additional storage space. Installed on the support cabinet body 401, medical staff can open the cabinet door 402 to store and access items, such as storing clean towels or taking clean items after washing hands.

[0055] Compared with Example 2, further, the timing prompt component 303 includes an infrared sensor 303a arranged on one side of the faucet 302, a timer 303b arranged on the wash basin 301, and a voice broadcast component 303c arranged on the timer 303b. The infrared sensor 303a is arranged on one side of the faucet 302. When the hand of the medical staff approaches the faucet 302, the infrared sensor 303a can detect the action and trigger the timer 303b to start working. The timer 303b is installed on the wash basin 301, and starts after receiving the signal of the infrared sensor 303a, and sets a standard hand washing time, such as 20 seconds. The voice broadcast component 303c is installed on the timer 303b. When the timing ends, the voice broadcast component 303c emits a prompt sound to inform the medical staff that the hand washing time has come.

[0056] Among them, a water pipe 304 is provided on the faucet 302, and the water outlet of the faucet 302 is coaxial with the water inlet of the wash basin 102. A tissue box 305 is provided on the wash basin 301, and a water baffle 306 is provided on the wash basin 301. The box opening direction of the tissue box 305 is the same as the opening direction of the water baffle 306, and a hand sanitizer 307 tank is provided on the wash basin 301. The tissue box 305 is provided on the wash basin 301, which is convenient for medical staff to extract tissues and dry their hands after washing their hands. The box opening direction of the tissue box 305 is consistent with the opening direction of the water baffle 306, so that the paper taking action is more natural and smooth. The water baffle 306 is installed on the wash basin 301 to prevent water from splashing out of the wash basin 301 and keep the hand washing area dry and clean. The hand sanitizer 307 tank is also provided on the wash basin 301, and medical staff can easily squeeze out the hand sanitizer 307 to rub their hands during the hand washing process to enhance the hand washing effect.

[0057] During use, the timing and prompting component 303 integrates an infrared sensor 303a, a timer 303b, and a voice broadcaster, forming an intelligent handwashing time management system. The infrared sensor 303a in this component is located beside the faucet 302 and has an automatic sensing function. Once it detects the hand movement of medical staff, it automatically activates the timer 303b. The timer 303b is preset with a recommended handwashing duration, such as 30 seconds, to meet hygiene requirements and ensure that the handwashing action is sufficient and effective. When the preset time is up, the voice broadcaster immediately emits a sound signal to inform the medical staff that the handwashing time has been completed, improving the standardization and consistency of the handwashing process.

[0058] The introduction of the automated timing and prompting component 303, through its intelligent sensing and voice prompting functions, significantly improves the standardization and efficiency of the handwashing process, effectively reducing the infection risk faced by medical staff due to insufficient handwashing time. At the same time, this system improves the experience of medical staff by reducing the reliance on manual timing, promotes the formation of healthy habits, and improves the accuracy and consistency of handwashing. In addition, it helps to save water resources and handwashing supplies, simplifies the maintenance and management of facilities, demonstrates strong adaptability and easy integration, and provides a reliable and efficient handwashing assistance tool for medical institutions.

[0059] The remaining structure is the same as that of Embodiment 2.
