Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a cooling rack for unloading sterilized medical devices. Background Technology

[0002] In hospitals, reusable medical devices should be sterilized. After sterilization, sterile items should be unloaded and placed on a cooling rack for at least 30 minutes to cool. However, currently, hospital sterilization departments use sterilization racks for cooling, with fixed spacing between each layer. In practice, different items have varying sizes, and because the spacing is fixed, larger items may not fit on the rack, reducing its utilization efficiency. Purchasing new racks is expensive and time-consuming. Ordinary treatment carts cannot hold the same batch of items at once, and wet packs can easily cause confusion. Therefore, this invention, based on existing technology, increases the adjustability of each layer of the sterilization rack to accommodate different sizes of items, improving rack turnover and increasing the efficiency of medical staff. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a cooling rack for unloading sterilized instruments.

The channel is vertically arranged on one side of the support column, and baffles are provided on both sides of the channel. Several square fixing grooves are provided on one side of the baffle. The round rod is fixed in the channel vertically, and the fixing member is sleeved on the round rod. The partition is fixed to the support column by the fixing member.

[0007] Preferably, both the cooling rack body and the partition are made of 304 stainless steel.

[0008] Preferably, a timer is provided on the side of the partition.

[0009] Preferably, the main body of the fastener is a ring, and square strips and fan-shaped support blocks are provided on the side of the ring.

[0010] Preferably, the square strip matches the square fixing groove.

[0011] Preferably, the inner diameter of the ring is the same as the diameter of the support column.

[0017] To provide a better understanding of the purpose, structure, features, and functions of this utility model, detailed descriptions are provided below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0018] Please refer to the reference. Figure 1 and Figure 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides a sterilization and unloading cooling rack for instruments, comprising a cooling rack body 1, partitions 2, and fixing members 3. The number of partitions 2 is several, and the partitions 2 are fixed on the cooling rack body 1.

[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the cooling rack body 1 includes a fixing frame 102 and a support column 101. The fixing frame 102 is located in the lower middle part of the cooling rack body 1, and the support column 101 is located at the corner of the cooling rack body 1.

[0020] like Figure 3As shown, the support column 101 is a long rectangular structure. The support column 101 includes a channel 103, a square fixing groove 106, a baffle 105, and a round rod 104. The support column 101 is a long rectangular structure. The channel 103 is arranged vertically on one side of the support column 101. Baffles 105 are provided on both sides of the channel 103. Several square fixing grooves 106 are provided on one side of the baffle 105. The round rod 104 is fixed vertically in the channel 103. The fixing member 3 is sleeved on the round rod 104. The partition 2 is fixed to the support column 101 by the fixing member 3.

[0021] Preferably, both the cooling rack body 1 and the partition 2 are made of 304 stainless steel. This design effectively reduces the weight of the sterilization rack, making it easier for medical staff to move it.

[0022] Preferably, a timer 201 is provided on the side of the partition 2. This design allows for the tracking of the cooling time of the sterilized items on the cooling rack.

[0023] Preferably, the main body of the fixing member 3 is a ring 301, and a square strip 302 and a fan-shaped support block 303 are provided on the side of the ring 301.

[0024] Preferably, the square strip 302 matches the square fixing groove 106. This design ensures that when the square strip 302 is inserted into the square fixing groove 106, the fixing member 3 can be fixed to the support column 101 through the square fixing groove 106.

[0025] Preferably, the inner diameter of the ring 301 is the same as the diameter of the support column 102.

[0026] In use, after sterilizing the instruments in their original state, remove the cooling rack and place the cooling rack body 1 on a horizontal surface. Fit the fixing member 3 onto the round rod 104. Then rotate the fixing member 3 so that the square strip 302 disengages from the square fixing groove 106, while the fan-shaped support block 303 faces inwards towards the cooling rack body 1. Move the fixing member 3 vertically until it is adjusted to the appropriate position. Finally, rotate the fixing member 3 so that the square strip 302 is inserted into the square fixing groove 106, ensuring that the fixing member 3 is fixed to the round rod 104. At this point, the partition 2 is placed on the cooling rack body 1, and the partition 2 is fixed on the cooling rack body 1 by the fan-shaped support block 303; the sterilized items are placed on the partition 2, and according to the specifications of the sterilized items, the above operation is repeated to align the partition 2 with the fixing piece 3, and the second layer of partition 2 is placed to ensure that the second layer of partition 2 is 3-5 cm away from the first layer of sterilized items. The above operation is repeated until there is no space left on the cooling rack to place the partition 2. Through this design, the appropriate distance between each layer of partition 2 is selected according to the specifications of the sterilized items, so as to maximize the use of the space of the cooling rack and improve the utilization efficiency of the cooling rack.

[0027] This utility model has been described by the above-described embodiments; however, these embodiments are merely examples for implementing this utility model. It must be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of this utility model. Conversely, any modifications and refinements made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model are within the scope of patent protection of this utility model.
