Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary components for the maintenance of ultrasound examination probes, and specifically to an ultrasound examination probe disinfection device. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasound diagnosis and treatment technology is a widely used, easy-to-operate, low-cost, non-ionizing, non-invasive or low-trauma diagnostic and treatment method. The core component of ultrasound equipment is the ultrasound probe. Through the filling of an intermediate medium, ultrasound coupling agent, the ultrasound probe and the human body form a complete sealed sound wave penetration system, thereby completing the diagnosis of diseases. In actual operation, the ultrasound probe and coupling agent can directly contact the patient's skin and mucous membranes. In emergency or other diagnostic and treatment situations, they may even come into contact with the patient's open wounds. This poses a potential risk of hospital-acquired infection transmission from the ultrasound probe.

[0003] Therefore, all ultrasound probes must be sterilized to a high level after use. To ensure the safety of medical staff and patients, appropriate gloves should be worn on the probe during ultrasound examinations. When removing the gloves, care must be taken not to contaminate the probe. The probe must be cleaned at the end of the examination. After wiping and cleaning the ultrasound probe, it is necessary to thoroughly disinfect it by immersing it in a chemical disinfectant. The current common practice is to soak the ultrasound probe in a 2% glutaraldehyde solution for about 10 hours after each week's use, and then rinse it with sterile water for later use. In practice, a beaker or basin is usually used as a container to hold the disinfectant, and the ultrasound probe is then directly immersed in the disinfectant for disinfection. Since the ultrasound probe cannot be kept upright during the immersion process, the disinfectant can easily enter from the tilted top of the machine and damage the ultrasound probe. At the same time, due to the lack of drainage measures, the disinfectant will spill out when the ultrasound probe is taken out at the end of the immersion. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an ultrasonic probe disinfection device to solve the above problems. The ultrasonic probe body can be placed upright in the storage box by means of vertical gap fitting, and the outer periphery of the storage box is provided with multiple liquid passage holes. Then, by placing the storage box together with the ultrasonic probe body into the disinfection box body, the ultrasonic probe body can be stably kept in an upright position during the process of immersing in disinfectant, as described below.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides an ultrasonic probe disinfection device, including a disinfection box body, a storage box and an ultrasonic probe body. The top of the disinfection box body is open, the storage box is placed vertically on the inner bottom surface of the disinfection box body and the top is open, and the ultrasonic probe body is placed vertically in the storage box through a vertical gap fit.

[0007] The rear top surface of the storage box is connected to the rear top of the disinfection box body via an adjustment component, which is used to limit the height of the storage box and the ultrasonic probe body in the disinfection box body at the immersion position and the drain position.

[0008] Preferably, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the lower part of one side of the disinfection box body, and a cap for controlling opening and closing is detachably installed on the outer end of the drain pipe.

[0009] Preferably, a transparent liquid level observation window is embedded and fixed on the front of the disinfection box body.

[0010] Preferably, the outer perimeter and bottom surface of the storage box are provided with multiple liquid passage holes.

[0011] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a wing plate and a mounting plate. The wing plate is horizontally extended and fixed to the top of the back of the disinfection box body, and a guide post is vertically fixed to the top surface of the wing plate. Drainage limiting holes and soaking limiting holes are respectively opened longitudinally at the upper and lower positions of the rear periphery of the guide post. The drainage limiting holes and the soaking limiting holes are located in the same vertical direction, and both the drainage limiting holes and the soaking limiting holes are through holes. The mounting plate is horizontally extended and fixed to the upper part of the back of the storage box. A sliding sleeve is vertically fixed to the top rear surface of the mounting plate, and the guide post passes through the rear part of the mounting plate and the sliding sleeve in a vertical sliding fit. A mounting hole is opened longitudinally at the rear periphery of the sliding sleeve. The mounting hole is a through hole, and a limiting rod is coaxially inserted into the mounting hole in a longitudinal sliding fit. At the same time, the front end of the limiting rod is coaxially slidingly fitted with the soaking limiting hole.

[0012] Preferably, a handle is coaxially fixed to the rear end of the limiting rod extending out of the outer periphery of the sliding sleeve, and a spring is coaxially fitted to the portion of the limiting rod located between the handle and the outer periphery of the sliding sleeve, with both ends of the spring being fixedly connected to the handle and the sliding sleeve respectively.

[0013] Preferably, each guide post has a detachable anti-detachment cap with an outer diameter larger than that of the guide post, which is coaxially mounted on its top end.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom surface of the mounting plate is not lower than the top surface of the disinfection box body, and when the limiting rod is coaxially engaged with the soaking limiting hole, the bottom surface of the storage box is placed in contact with the inner bottom surface of the disinfection box body.

[0015] Using the aforementioned ultrasonic probe disinfection device, specifically during the disinfection of the ultrasonic probe body, the ultrasonic probe body can be placed upright in the storage box via a vertical clearance fit. The storage box has multiple liquid passage holes on its periphery. By placing the storage box and the ultrasonic probe body together into the disinfection chamber, the ultrasonic probe body can remain stably upright during immersion in the disinfectant solution, thus preventing damage from the disinfectant solution entering the probe body. After placing the storage box and the ultrasonic probe body into the disinfection chamber, an appropriate amount of disinfectant solution is poured into the chamber. The disinfectant solution level in the chamber should be higher than the area of ​​the ultrasonic probe body that needs to be immersed in disinfection, but lower than the upper part of the probe body. Since the rear of the storage box is connected to the disinfection chamber via an adjustment component, and the adjustment component can... The device effectively limits the height of the storage box and the ultrasonic probe body at the immersion and drainage positions. Furthermore, by sliding the sleeve vertically along the guide post and engaging with the immersion limiting hole longitudinally through the limiting rod, the storage box and the ultrasonic probe body are locked together at the immersion position height. This ensures that the storage box and the ultrasonic probe body can be stably immersed in the disinfectant solution within the disinfection chamber. Simultaneously, by sliding the sleeve vertically along the guide post and engaging with the drainage limiting hole longitudinally through the limiting rod, the storage box and the ultrasonic probe body are locked together at the drainage position height. This ensures that the storage box and the ultrasonic probe body can be removed from the top of the disinfectant solution within the disinfection chamber and allowed to drain. This ensures both stable immersion disinfection of the ultrasonic probe body and proper drainage after immersion.

[0016] The beneficial effects are as follows: 1. The ultrasonic probe body of this utility model can be placed upright in the storage box by means of vertical gap fit, and the outer periphery of the storage box is provided with multiple liquid passage holes. Then, by placing the storage box together with the ultrasonic probe body into the disinfection box body, the ultrasonic probe body can be stably kept upright during the process of immersing in disinfectant, which helps to prevent disinfectant from entering the body of the ultrasonic probe body and causing damage.

[0017] 2. The rear of the storage box is connected to the disinfection chamber body via an adjustment component. This component limits the height of the storage box and the ultrasonic probe body at the immersion and drainage positions. A sliding sleeve slides vertically along the guide post and engages with a limiting rod that slides longitudinally through the immersion limiting hole, locking the storage box and ultrasonic probe body together at the immersion position. This ensures stable immersion of the storage box and ultrasonic probe body in the disinfectant solution within the disinfection chamber. Simultaneously, the sliding sleeve slides vertically along the guide post and engages with a limiting rod that slides longitudinally through the drainage limiting hole, locking the storage box and ultrasonic probe body together at the drainage position. This ensures that the storage box and ultrasonic probe body can be removed from the top of the disinfectant solution within the disinfection chamber and allowed to drain. This ensures stable immersion disinfection of the ultrasonic probe body and facilitates drainage after immersion. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] See Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides an ultrasonic probe disinfection device, including a disinfection box body 2, a storage box 4, and an ultrasonic probe body 1. The top of the disinfection box body 2 is open, and the storage box 4 is placed vertically on the inner bottom surface of the disinfection box body 2 with its top open. At the same time, the ultrasonic probe body 1 is placed vertically in the storage box 4 through a vertical gap fit. The advantage of this arrangement is that by placing the storage box 4 together with the ultrasonic probe body 1 into the disinfection box body 2, the ultrasonic probe body 1 can be stably kept in an upright position during the process of immersion in disinfectant, thereby helping to prevent disinfectant from entering the body of the ultrasonic probe body 1 and causing damage.

[0030] See Figures 1-4As shown, the rear top surface of the storage box 4 is connected to the rear top of the disinfection box body 2 via an adjustment assembly 3. This adjustment assembly 3 restricts the height of the storage box 4 and the ultrasonic probe body 1 within the disinfection box body 2 at the immersion and drainage positions. Specifically, the adjustment assembly 3 includes a wing plate 307 and a mounting plate 308. The wing plate 307 is horizontally extended and fixed to the rear top of the disinfection box body 2, and a guide post 303 is vertically fixed to the top surface of the wing plate 307. Drainage limiting holes 302 and immersion limiting holes 3011 are longitudinally formed at the upper and lower positions of the rear periphery of the guide post 303, respectively. 11 are located in the same vertical direction, and both the drain limiting hole 302 and the soaking limiting hole 3011 are through holes. A mounting plate 308 is fixed to the upper back of the storage box 4, extending horizontally backward. A sliding sleeve 306 is vertically fixed to the top rear surface of the mounting plate 308. A guide post 303 passes through the rear of the mounting plate 308 and the sliding sleeve 306 in a vertical sliding fit. A mounting hole 3010 is longitudinally formed on the rear outer periphery of the sliding sleeve 306. The mounting hole 3010 is a through hole, and a limiting rod 309 is coaxially inserted into the mounting hole 3010 in a longitudinal sliding fit. Simultaneously, the front end of the limiting rod 309 is aligned with the soaking limiting hole 3011. The limiting rod 309 extends out of the outer periphery of the sliding sleeve 306 and is coaxially fixed to a handle 304. A spring 305 is coaxially fitted between the limiting rod 309 and the outer periphery of the sliding sleeve 306, with both ends of the spring 305 fixedly connected to the handle 304 and the sliding sleeve 306 respectively. This design facilitates both pulling the limiting rod 309 by applying force with the handle 304 and automatically returning the limiting rod 309 to its original position by releasing the tension of the spring 305. The sliding sleeve 306 then slides vertically down the guide post 303 and through the limiting rod 309 to the immersion limiting hole 3. The longitudinal sliding mechanism 011 can restrict and lock the storage box 4 together with the ultrasonic probe body 1 at the immersion position height, thereby ensuring that the storage box 4 and the ultrasonic probe body 1 can be immersed together in the disinfectant solution in the disinfection box body 2 for a stable immersion effect. At the same time, by sliding the sliding sleeve 306 vertically upward along the guide post 303 and longitudinally sliding with the limiting rod 309 and the drain limiting hole 302, the storage box 4 together with the ultrasonic probe body 1 can be restricted and locked at the drain position height, thereby ensuring that the storage box 4 and the ultrasonic probe body 1 can leave the top of the disinfectant solution in the disinfection box body 2 and then stand to drain.

[0031] See Figures 1-7As shown, the following optimizations were made to the disinfection box body 2, the storage box 4, and the adjustment component 3. Specifically, for the disinfection box body 2 and the storage box 4, a drain pipe 201 is fixedly connected to the lower part of one side of the disinfection box body 2, and a cap 202 for controlling opening and closing is coaxially and detachably installed at the outer end of the drain pipe 201, so as to discharge the disinfectant in the disinfection box body 2 to the outside through the drain pipe 201, and at the same time, it is easy to control the opening and closing state of the drain pipe 201 through the cap 202. Optionally, a transparent liquid level observation window 203 is embedded and fixed on the front of the disinfection box body 2, so as to view the liquid level of the disinfectant in the disinfection box body 2 in real time through the liquid level observation window 203, which facilitates the addition of disinfectant. Multiple liquid passage holes 401 are evenly distributed on the periphery and bottom surface of the storage box 4, so that the ultrasonic probe body 1 can fully contact the disinfectant in the disinfection box body 2 through the liquid passage holes 401. Specifically, for the adjustment component 3, the top of each guide post 303 is coaxially and detachably fitted with an anti-slip cap 301 with an outer diameter larger than that of the guide post 303. Preferably, the anti-slip cap 301 is coaxially installed on the top of the guide post 303 by means of tensioning, so as to prevent the sliding sleeve 306 from accidentally slipping off the top of the guide post 303 by setting the anti-slip cap 301. Optionally, the bottom surface of the mounting plate 308 is not lower than the top surface of the disinfection box body 2. When the limiting rod 309 is coaxially engaged with the soaking limiting hole 3011, the bottom surface of the storage box 4 is placed in contact with the inner bottom surface of the disinfection box body 2. When the limiting rod 309 is engaged with the draining limiting hole 302, the bottom surface of the storage box 4 is not lower than the top surface of the disinfection box body 2. This arrangement makes it easy to provide a clear indication when the sliding sleeve 306 moves the limiting rod 309 to be coaxially aligned with the soaking limiting hole 3011, by having the bottom surface of the storage box 4 contact the inner bottom surface of the disinfection box body 2. It also makes it easy for the ultrasonic probe body 1 to perform a draining operation when the limiting rod 309 is engaged with the draining limiting hole 302.

[0032] Using the above structure, specifically during the disinfection process of the ultrasonic probe body 1, since the ultrasonic probe body 1 can be placed upright in the storage box 4 through a vertical gap fit, and the storage box 4 has multiple liquid passage holes 401 on its periphery, placing the storage box 4 together with the ultrasonic probe body 1 into the disinfection box body 2 ensures that the ultrasonic probe body 1 remains stably upright during immersion in the disinfectant solution. This helps prevent the disinfectant solution from entering the ultrasonic probe body 1 and causing damage. After placing the storage box 4 and the ultrasonic probe body 1 together in the disinfection box body 2, an appropriate amount of disinfectant solution is poured into the disinfection box body 2. The disinfectant solution level in the disinfection box body 2 should be higher than the part of the ultrasonic probe body 1 that needs to be immersed and disinfected, but lower than the upper part of the ultrasonic probe body 1. Since the rear of the storage box 4 is connected to the disinfection box body 2 through the adjustment component 3, and the adjustment component 3 can restrict the storage box 4 and the ultrasonic probe body 1, the ultrasonic probe body 1 can be placed in a more stable position. The main body 1 is positioned at both the immersion and draining heights. The sliding sleeve 306 slides vertically along the guide post 303 and engages longitudinally with the limiting rod 309 and the immersion limiting hole 3011, thus locking the storage box 4 and the ultrasonic probe body 1 together at the immersion height. This ensures that the storage box 4 and the ultrasonic probe body 1 can be stably immersed in the disinfectant solution within the disinfection chamber 2. Simultaneously, the sliding sleeve 306 slides vertically upwards along the guide post 303 and engages longitudinally with the limiting rod 309 and the draining limiting hole 302, locking the storage box 4 and the ultrasonic probe body 1 together at the draining height. This ensures that the storage box 4 and the ultrasonic probe body 1 can be removed from the top of the disinfectant solution within the disinfection chamber 2 and allowed to drain. This ensures both stable immersion disinfection of the ultrasonic probe body 1 and proper draining after immersion.

[0033] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
