[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a cleaning device for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine includes a cleaning bucket 1, a bucket lid 2, a conveyor belt 3, a fixing clamp 4, a spray pipe 5, a brushing mechanism 6, and a drying mechanism 7.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning tank 1 has an opening at the top and is filled with disinfectant. An ultrasonic generator 8 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. The lid 2 is located at the top of the cleaning tank 1, and the conveyor belt 3 is vertically installed inside the cleaning tank 1 with its lower end immersed in the disinfectant for transporting surgical instruments.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the fixing clips 4 are spaced apart on the surface of the conveyor belt 3 and are used to fix surgical instruments. The fixing clips 4 include four fixing rods 41 and four locking blocks 42. The four fixing rods 41 are vertically arranged in a cross shape on the conveyor belt 3, and the locking blocks 42 are located at the upper end of the fixing rods 41 and are used to press the surgical instruments.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the spray pipe 5 is vertically installed inside the cleaning tank 1 and is passed through one side of the conveyor belt 3. The inner wall of the spray pipe 5 is provided with several spray holes 51 for spraying clean water onto the surgical instruments to achieve preliminary rinsing and cleaning of the surgical instruments.

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, the scrubbing mechanism 6 is located below the spray pipe 5 and is used to pass through one side of the conveyor belt 3 for scrubbing surgical instruments. The drying mechanism 7 is arranged side by side beside the spray pipe 5 and is used to pass through the other side of the conveyor belt 3 for drying surgical instruments.

[0034] When it is necessary to clean and disinfect surgical instruments, the conveyor belt 3 is controlled to rotate intermittently. When each fixed clamp 4 on the conveyor belt 3 moves to the upper position of the cleaning bucket 1, the surgical instruments such as suture cutters, hemostatic forceps, needle holders and towel clamps are opened, and the rotation position of the surgical instruments is locked between the four fixed rods 41. The clamping block 42 is used to press the surgical instruments to achieve clamping and fixing of the surgical instruments.

[0035] Then, conveyor belt 3 drives each surgical instrument in intermittent motion, moving the instruments into the spray pipe 5. At this point, clean water is sprayed onto the surgical instruments through the spray holes 51, rinsing them. The surgical instruments then continue to the scrubbing mechanism 6, where both ends are scrubbed and cleaned. Next, the surgical instruments move to the bottom of conveyor belt 3, where ultrasonic generator 8 and disinfectant are used for thorough cleaning. Finally, the surgical instruments pass through drying mechanism 7 to dry them. When the surgical instruments reach the top of the sterilization tank, they can be removed and stored.

[0036] Therefore, by setting up a highly automated cleaner, multiple surgical tools can be transferred, cleaned, scrubbed, and dried, enabling continuous cleaning and disinfection of surgical tools. The disinfection and cleaning process is easy and convenient, eliminating the need for manual retrieval and wiping, thus improving the efficiency of disinfection and cleaning.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the scrubbing mechanism 6 includes cleaning brushes 61, connecting rods 62, and a drive unit 63. There are four cleaning brushes 61, arranged in pairs. Each pair of cleaning brushes 61 is located on both sides of the conveyor belt 3 and is used to hold the two ends of surgical instruments. The connecting rods 62 are located between a pair of cleaning brushes 61 on each side.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the drive unit 63 is used to control the reciprocating horizontal sliding of each set of cleaning brushes 61. The drive unit 63 includes a gear 64, a rack 65, and a motor 66. The gear 64 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the cleaning tub 1. A pair of racks 65 are horizontally arranged on the outer wall of a pair of connecting rods 62 and penetrate through the cleaning tub 1. The pair of racks 65 are distributed on both sides of the gear 64 and mesh with the gear 64.

[0039] When it is necessary to clean the surgical instruments, the motor 66 controls the gear 64 to rotate. The gear 64 drives a pair of racks 65 to move alternately. At this time, the racks 65 drive the connecting rod 62 and the cleaning brush 61 to move synchronously, and the cleaning brush 61 moves back and forth, so as to achieve synchronous brushing of both ends of the surgical instruments, thereby achieving thorough cleaning of the surgical instruments and improving the cleaning effect.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the drying mechanism 7 includes a drying pipe 71, an air distribution pipe 72, and a fan 73. The drying pipe 71 is vertically installed inside the cleaning tank 1, the air distribution pipe 72 is arranged in a ring inside the drying pipe 71, and the fan 73 is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1 and connected to the air distribution pipe 72. A serpentine electric heating wire 74 is installed inside the drying pipe 71 for heating and drying surgical instruments.

[0041] When surgical instruments need to be dried, the conveyor belt 3 carries the surgical instruments into the drying tube 71. At this time, the fan 73 blows air along the air distribution duct 72 into the drying tube 71, and uses the electric heating wire 74 to heat the instruments. By combining air drying with heating, the surgical instruments can be quickly cleaned and dried, improving the efficiency of disinfection and cleaning.

[0042] The specific embodiments are merely explanations of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to these embodiments without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
