[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in some embodiments, the present application provides a probe disinfection device, including a bracket 100. The bracket 100 has a three-dimensional structure with a cavity 110 inside, and the cavity 110 is used to accommodate the section to be disinfected of the probe 001. A first through hole 120 is formed in the bracket 100, and the cavity 110 communicates with the outside through the first through hole 120. A first ultraviolet lamp 130 is assembled in the cavity 110, and the light source of the first ultraviolet lamp 130 faces the section to be disinfected of the probe 001. During use, an operator can hold the holding part of the probe 001, insert the end of the section to be disinfected of the probe 001 through the first through hole 120 until the section to be disinfected of the probe 001 is completely accommodated in the cavity 110. Then, turn on the first ultraviolet lamp 130, and use ultraviolet light to disinfect one side of the section to be disinfected of the probe 001. After the first ultraviolet lamp 130 is turned on for a predetermined time, adjust the position of the section to be disinfected of the probe 001 so that the un-disinfected side faces the light source of the first ultraviolet lamp 130, so that the section to be disinfected of the probe 001 can be evenly irradiated to achieve the disinfection purpose. After disinfection, turn off the first ultraviolet lamp 130, and this probe disinfection device can be used as a storage device to store the disinfected probe 001, solving the technical problem that using other storage devices after the probe 001 is disinfected may cause secondary pollution.

[0040] In some embodiments, the light source of the first ultraviolet lamp 130 adopted in the present utility model is strip-shaped, and its length matches the section to be disinfected of the probe 001. During use, it can ensure that the section to be disinfected of the probe 001 is completely covered by ultraviolet light rays in its length direction, improving the disinfection effect.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 3In a preferred embodiment, there are three first ultraviolet lamps 130. In the cross section of the cavity 110, the three first ultraviolet lamps 130 are arranged in an equilateral triangle array around the section to be sterilized of the probe 001.

[0042] It should be noted that the number of first ultraviolet lamps 130 can also be two, four, or another number. For example, when there are two first ultraviolet lamps 1301, the two first ultraviolet lamps 1301 are aligned with the probe 001 in the cross-section of the cavity 110. The light from the two first ultraviolet lamps 130 can respectively cover both sides of the section of the probe 001 to be disinfected, thereby simultaneously disinfecting all parts of the section to be disinfected. When there are four first ultraviolet lamps 130, the four first ultraviolet lamps 130 are arranged in a quadrilateral array around the section to be disinfected of the probe 001 in the cross-section of the drying chamber 110, covering all four sides of the section to be disinfected of the probe 001 and avoiding blind spots. The solution based on two first ultraviolet lamps 130 requires precise control of the installation position of the first ultraviolet lamp 130 during installation. A slight deviation will cause the light to fail to completely cover the section to be disinfected of the probe 001, which is prone to dead angles. The solution with four or more first ultraviolet lamps 130 is too expensive. After comprehensive consideration, the solution with three first ultraviolet lamps 130 is the preferred solution.

[0043] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, a reflector 140 is installed on the inner wall of the cavity 110. When the first ultraviolet lamp 130 is turned on, the reflector 140 can reflect the ultraviolet light, eliminating blind spots and improving the disinfection effect.

[0044] Specifically, the reflector 140321 can be a mirror reflector made of stainless steel, or can be made of aluminum alloy or iron.

[0045] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, bracket 100 is further equipped with a fixing bracket 150, which is located above first through-hole 120. Fixing bracket 150 is provided with a bayonet, which is coaxial with first through-hole 120 and has a size that matches the handle of probe 001. During use, the section 003 of probe 001 to be sterilized is placed into cavity 110, so that the handle of probe 001 is locked by the bayonet, thereby fixing the position of probe 001.

[0046] See also Figure 4, in some embodiments, the bracket 100 is further provided with a second through hole 160, which communicates with the cavity 110. The probe disinfection device further includes an air disinfection device 200. The air disinfection device 200 further includes a housing 210, a filter screen 220 and a blower. Among them, the housing 210 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet communicates with the outside, and the air outlet communicates with the second through hole 160. The filter screen 220 can be assembled at the air inlet or the air outlet, or the filter screen 220 can be assembled at the air inlet and the air outlet at the same time. The blower can be assembled at the air inlet, the air outlet or inside the housing 210. In some application scenarios, when a higher air supply efficiency is required, the blower can be selected to be assembled at the air inlet, the air outlet and inside the housing 210 at the same time. During use, first place the section to be disinfected of the probe 001 in the cavity 110, start the first ultraviolet lamp 130 to disinfect the section to be disinfected of the probe 001, then start the blower of the air disinfection device 200. Air enters from the air inlet, is filtered and disinfected by passing through the filter screen 220, and then is output from the air outlet. Subsequently, it enters the cavity 110 through the second through hole 160 and finally flows out from the first through hole 120. The utility model dries the section to be disinfected of the probe 001 through the rapid flow of air in the cavity 110, which can ensure that the air in contact with the section to be disinfected of the probe 001 is clean air that has been disinfected, and prevent secondary pollution of the section to be disinfected of the probe 001 by pollutants in the air during the drying process.

[0047] Specifically, in order to ensure the disinfection effect of the air disinfection device 200, different types of filter screens 220 can be assembled at its air inlet and air outlet respectively. For example, a primary filter screen 220 can be assembled at the air inlet to filter particulate dust and various suspended matters in the air, and a nano filter element filtration module and an activated carbon filter screen 220 can be assembled at the air outlet to further filter particulate dust and H13-class suspended matters in the air and remove volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde, toluene, hydrogen sulfide, chlorobenzene and other pollutants.

[0048] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 , in some embodiments, a second ultraviolet lamp 230 is further assembled in the housing 210, which can further disinfect the air passing through the housing 210.

[0049] In some embodiments, the second through hole 160 corresponds to the end position of the section to be disinfected of the probe 001. Preferably, it is located at the bottom of the cavity 110. During use, the clean air after filtration and disinfection enters the lower part of the cavity 110 through the second through hole 160 and then flows out from the first through hole 120 at the upper end, so that the air flow direction and speed in the cavity 110 are kept consistent, ensuring that each part of the section to be disinfected of the probe 001 can achieve a consistent drying effect.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4, in some embodiments, a baffle 170 is provided at the first through hole 120, and a third through hole is formed in the baffle 170. A transparent pipe fitting 180 is disposed in the cavity 110. The upper end edge of the transparent pipe fitting 180 is hermetically connected to the edge of the third through hole, and the lower end edge of the transparent pipe fitting 180 is hermetically connected to the edge of the second through hole 160. The inner diameter of the transparent pipe fitting 180 is larger than the inner diameter of the section of the probe 001 to be disinfected, and is used to accommodate the section of the probe 001 to be disinfected to pass through. During use, the air disinfected by the disinfection device enters from the lower end of the transparent pipe fitting 180 and flows out from the upper end, reducing the air volume requirement for drying operation, and thus reducing the energy consumption.

[0051] Specifically, preferably, the transparent pipe fitting 180 can be made of quartz glass.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the probe disinfection device further includes a cabinet 300. The bracket 100 and the air disinfection device 200 are both assembled in the cabinet 300. At least three rollers 310 are assembled at the bottom of the cabinet 300 to increase the mobility of the probe disinfection device. Preferably, the number of the rollers 310 is four, and the rollers 310 can be universal wheels.

[0053] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 , further, the cabinet 300 includes a cabinet door 320. An electronic lock 330 is assembled on the back plate of the bracket 100, a lock catch 321 matching the electronic lock 330 is assembled on the inner side of the cabinet door 320, and an electric control device 340 electrically connected to the electronic lock 330 and the lock catch 321 is assembled on the outer side of the cabinet door 320 to control the opening and closing of the cabinet door 320. For example, a fixed time length is set for the disinfection operation. When the first ultraviolet lamp 130 is turned on, the timing starts. When the fixed time length is not reached, the electronic lock 330 is locked and the cabinet door 320 cannot be opened. Since ultraviolet light is harmful to the human body, the electric control system can be electrically connected to the switch of the first ultraviolet lamp 130, and the switch of the first ultraviolet lamp 130 and the switch of the electronic lock 330 are synchronized. When the first ultraviolet lamp 130 is turned on, the electronic lock 330 is locked, and when the first ultraviolet lamp 130 is turned off, the electronic lock 330 is unlocked, ensuring that the first ultraviolet lamp is in the off state when the cabinet door 320 can be opened, so as to improve the safety of the probe disinfection device.
