Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, and in particular to a waste liquid treatment system. Background Technology

[0002] During certain surgical procedures, waste of various types, including liquids, semi-solids, and solids, is inevitably generated. Examples include bodily fluids such as blood, irrigation solutions introduced into the surgical site, fragments of human tissue, and small pieces of surgical materials. These wastes need to be collected promptly to prevent contamination of the surgical site and to avoid them becoming biohazardous materials in the operating room or other locations where surgical procedures are performed.

[0003] In existing technologies, waste materials are generally collected in waste liquid collection equipment connected to a vacuum source. This waste liquid collection equipment is typically mounted on a portable trolley with wheels for easy movement and transportation. When the storage capacity of the waste liquid collection equipment reaches a predetermined volume, it needs to be moved to a waste liquid treatment device and connected to it so that the waste liquid treatment device can collect the waste from the waste liquid collection equipment and disinfect the container.

[0004] When docking the waste liquid treatment equipment with the waste liquid collection equipment, after the two devices are aligned, the power source can drive the various joints in the waste liquid treatment equipment to move and connect with the various joints in the waste liquid collection equipment.

[0005] However, during use, due to manufacturing errors and alignment errors, when the power source moves the various joints in the waste liquid treatment equipment, there are many joints that need to be connected. During the alignment process, the joints on the waste liquid treatment equipment and the joints in the waste liquid collection equipment are prone to jamming, which makes it impossible for the joints in the two devices to be successfully connected. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides a waste liquid treatment system that can treat waste liquid relatively smoothly.

[0007] A waste liquid treatment system includes a waste liquid treatment device and a waste liquid collection device. The waste liquid treatment device includes a first docking module, and the waste liquid collection device includes a second docking module that docks with the first docking module. The first docking module includes a first support plate, a power source, a first elastic element, and multiple movable joints. The first support plate moves up and down under the drive of the power source, and the multiple movable joints are disposed on the first support plate. The movable joints include a first type of joint and a second type of joint. The second docking module includes a second support plate and multiple fixed structures disposed on the second support plate. The fixed joints include a third type of joint for docking with the first type of joint and a fourth type of joint for docking with the second type of joint. When the waste liquid treatment device and the waste liquid collection device begin to dock, the distance between the first type of joint and the third type of joint is less than the distance between the second type of joint and the fourth type of joint. The second type of joint is buoyantly disposed on the first support plate. One end of the first elastic element is connected to the first support plate, and the other end is connected to the second type of joint.

[0008] Furthermore, the waste liquid treatment equipment also includes a main unit, which is equipped with a suction device, a cleaning liquid injection device and a steam generating device. When the first docking module is docked with the second docking module, the suction device, the cleaning liquid injection device and the steam generating device are respectively connected to the container tank in the waste liquid collection equipment through their respective connectors.

[0009] Furthermore, the first docking module has a first end that overlaps with the second docking module during docking, and a second end opposite to the first end. The first type of connector is a drain connector and a flushing connector, and the second type of connector is a steam connector. There is one drain connector and one flushing connector, and there are two steam connectors. The drain connector and the flushing connector are arranged side by side in the direction perpendicular to the first end to the second end of the first docking module, and the two steam connectors are arranged side by side in the direction perpendicular to the first end to the second end of the first docking module.

[0010] Furthermore, the first docking module has a first end that overlaps with the second docking module during docking. The first docking module is also provided with a guide rod, and the first support plate is sleeved on the guide rod. The power source drives the first support plate to move along the axial direction of the guide rod. There are at least two guide rods, which are spaced apart along the direction from the first end to the second end of the first docking module. A second elastic element is sleeved on the guide rod near the host. The first docking module also includes a base, which includes a top plate and a bottom plate. The guide rod is fixed between the top plate and the bottom plate, and the second elastic element is supported between the first support plate and the top plate of the base.

[0011] Furthermore, the first docking module has a first end that overlaps with the second docking module during docking. The first docking module also includes a base, and a cover plate is provided on the top of the base. The cover plate covers the top plate of the base and can move relative to the top plate in the direction from the first end to the second end of the first docking module. A first position sensing element and a second position sensing element are provided on the cover plate. The first position sensing element is located at the second end of the first docking module, and the second position sensing element is located at the first end of the first docking module. A first position probe is provided on the top plate. The position probe is electrically connected to the control unit. By moving the cover plate, the position of the first position probe corresponds to the position of the first position sensing element or the second position sensing element.

[0012] Furthermore, the first type of connector and the fourth type of connector are female connectors, and the second type of connector and the third type of connector are male connectors.

[0013] Furthermore, the first docking module includes a connecting post, which is buoyantly disposed on the first support plate. The second type of connector is disposed inside the connecting post, and the first elastic element is sleeved outside the connecting post. The connecting post is provided with a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate. The first support plate is disposed between the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate. Elastic gaskets are provided between the first clamping plate and the first support plate, and between the second clamping plate and the first support plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the top of the connecting column is formed with a mounting edge, one end of the first elastic member abuts against the mounting edge, and the other end abuts against the first support plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the second docking module also includes a connecting cylinder, a guide cylinder, and a fourth elastic element. A connecting hole is provided on the second support plate. The connecting cylinder is fixed in the connecting hole. The guide cylinder is buoyantly disposed in the connecting cylinder. Along the top-to-bottom direction, the area of ​​the cross-section of the guide cylinder gradually increases in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the guide cylinder. The fourth elastic element is disposed in the connecting cylinder and located between the connecting cylinder and the guide cylinder. The fixed joint is fixed in the guide cylinder.

[0016] Furthermore, a retaining edge is provided at the lower end of the guide cylinder, and the distance between the edge of the retaining edge and the axis of the guide cylinder is greater than the diameter of the connecting cylinder.

[0017] In summary, in this embodiment, the different distances between the first type of connector and the second type of connector and their respective third type of connector and fourth type of connector create a time difference during docking, which facilitates the docking of multiple connectors. By providing a first elastic element on the connector that is docked later in the sequence, i.e., the second type of connector, during docking, it helps to align the connector that is docked later in the sequence and prevents the first support plate from tilting during the docking process.

[0018] Furthermore, by setting a second elastic element on the guide rod, it is possible to better prevent the first support plate from tilting up at the end where the second elastic element is located, so as to better connect the various joints.

[0019] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of this utility model. In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, preferred embodiments are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0042] This invention provides a waste liquid treatment system that can treat waste liquid relatively smoothly.

[0043] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the waste liquid treatment system provided in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 2 As shown Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the waste liquid treatment equipment. Figure 3 As shown Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the waste liquid collection device. The waste liquid treatment system provided by this utility model includes a waste liquid treatment device 10 and a waste liquid collection device 20. The waste liquid treatment device 10 is used in conjunction with the waste liquid collection device 20 to discharge the waste liquid inside the waste liquid collection device 20 and to disinfect the waste liquid collection device 20.

[0044] In this embodiment, there can be multiple waste liquid collection devices 20 that are paired with the waste liquid treatment device 10, that is, one waste liquid treatment device 10 can be combined with multiple waste liquid collection devices 20.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the waste liquid collection device 20 may be equipped with a container tank 21, a negative pressure generating device (not shown), and a suction head (not shown). The negative pressure generating device is connected to the container tank 21 and is used to generate negative pressure inside the container tank 21. The container tank 21 is connected to the outside through the suction head, and the suction head is used to suction out the waste.

[0046] The waste liquid treatment equipment 10 includes a main unit 11 and a first docking module 12, and a second docking module 22 is provided inside the waste liquid collection equipment 20. When the waste liquid collection equipment 20 has finished collecting waste, or when the liquid level in the container tank 21 reaches the limit, the waste liquid collection equipment 20 is transported to the waste liquid treatment equipment 10. The waste liquid collection equipment 20 is brought close to the waste liquid treatment equipment 10 so that the first docking module 12 and the second docking module 22 can dock.

[0047] A control unit 111 is installed inside the main unit 11 (see...) Figure 16 The system includes a suction device 112, a cleaning fluid injection device 113, and a steam generator 114. After the first module 12 and the second module 22 are connected, the control unit 111 first uses the suction device 112 to suction the dirt in the container 21 of the waste liquid collection device 20, then uses the cleaning fluid injection device 113 to clean the container 21, and finally uses the steam generator 114 to disinfect the container 21.

[0048] The first docking module 12 includes a first end that overlaps with the second docking module 22 during docking, and a second end that is positioned opposite the first end. That is, the first end is the end of the first docking module 12 that is away from the host 11, and the second end is the end of the first docking module 12 that is close to the host 11.

[0049] Figure 4 The diagram shows the structure of the first docking module of the waste liquid treatment equipment and the second docking module of the waste liquid collection equipment. Figure 5 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the first docking module and the second docking module when they are docked. Figure 6 As shown Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of the cover plate of the first docking module. Figure 7 The diagram shown is an exploded view of the first docking module from a first-person perspective. Figure 8 The diagram shown is an exploded view of the first docking module from a second perspective. Figure 9 The diagram shows the structure of the first docking module after removing the cover plate and baffle, and its connection to the second docking module. Please refer to the diagram below. Figures 3 to 9 More specifically, the first docking module 12 includes a base 121, a first support plate 122, a power source 123, a guide rod 124, and multiple movable joints 125. The second docking module 22 includes a second support plate 221 and multiple fixed joints 222.

[0050] The guide rod 124 is fixed to the base 121. A first support plate 122 is sleeved on the guide rod 124 and is movably mounted on the guide rod 124 along its axial direction. Multiple movable joints 125 are mounted on the first support plate 122. A power source 123 is connected to the first support plate 122 and drives the first support plate 122 to move on the guide rod 124. Multiple fixed joints 222 are mounted on the second support plate 221.

[0051] After the second docking module 22 is moved above the first docking module 12, and the fixed connector 222 and the movable connector 125 are aligned, the power source 123, under the control of the control unit 111, drives the multiple movable connectors 125 on the first support plate 122 to move upward, so that the movable connectors 125 dock with the fixed connectors 222. After the movable connectors 125 and the fixed connectors 222 are docked, the suction device 112, the cleaning fluid injection device 113, and the steam generating device 114 are connected to the container tank 21 through their respective movable connectors 125 and fixed connectors 222.

[0052] In this embodiment, the multiple movable joints 125 include a first type of joint 1251 and a second type of joint 1252. When the second docking module 22 moves above the first docking module 12 and begins docking, the distances of the first type of joint 1251 and the second type of joint 1252 from their respective fixed joints 222 on the second docking module 22 are different. In other words, during the process of the power source 123 moving the movable joints 125 towards the fixed joints 222, the docking times of the first type of joint 1251 and the second type of joint 1252 with their respective fixed joints 222 are sequential. The distance between the first type of joint 1251 and its corresponding fixed joint 222 is less than the distance between the second type of joint 1252 and its corresponding fixed joint 222. That is, the first type of joint 1251 docks with its corresponding fixed joint 222 before the second type of joint 1252. By setting the sequence, it is possible to help each joint overcome errors in the manufacturing and movement process during docking, so as to better dock the various joints.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second type of connector 1252 is buoyantly disposed on the first support plate 122. It should be explained that "buoyant" means that, relative to the first support plate 122, the second type of connector 1252 can move along its own axis and / or swing about its own axis. The second docking module 22 also includes a first elastic element 1253, one end of which is connected to the first support plate 122, and the other end is connected to the second type of connector 1252. Preferably, the first elastic element 1253 is a spring and is sleeved on the second type of connector 1252.

[0054] More specifically, the first type of connector 1251 is closer to the first end of the first docking module 12 than the second type of connector 1252, while the second type of connector 1252 is closer to the second end of the first docking module 12 than the first type of connector 1251.

[0055] In this embodiment, the movable connector 125 can be divided into three categories according to its purpose: a drain connector, a flushing connector, and a steam connector. There is one drain connector and one flushing connector, while there are two steam connectors. The drain connector and the flushing connector are arranged side by side in a direction perpendicular to the relative movement direction when the waste liquid collection device 20 and the waste liquid treatment device 10 are docked (i.e., the direction from the first end to the second end on the first docking module 12). The two steam connectors are also arranged side by side in a direction perpendicular to the relative movement direction when the waste liquid collection device 20 and the waste liquid treatment device 10 are docked. In the movable connector 125, compared to the steam connectors, the drain connector and the flushing connector are located closer to the waste liquid collection device 20 in the first docking module 12.

[0056] The drain connector is connected to the suction device 112 inside the main unit 11, the flushing connector is connected to the cleaning fluid injection device 113 inside the main unit 11, and the steam connector is connected to the steam generating device 114 inside the main unit 11.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first type of connector 1251 can be a drain connector and a flushing connector, while the second type of connector 1252 can be a steam connector.

[0058] In this embodiment, the power source 123 can be a motor, which drives the first support plate 122 to move up and down on the guide rod 124 under the control of the control unit 111.

[0059] To ensure smooth movement, multiple guide rods 124 can be used. In this embodiment, there can be at least two guide rods 124, which are spaced apart along the direction from the first end to the second end of the first docking module 12. That is, one guide rod 124 is located on one side of the first end of the first docking module 12, while the other guide rod 124 is located on one side of the second end of the first docking module.

[0060] The base 121 includes a top plate 1211 and a bottom plate 1212, with a guide rod 124 fixed between the top plate 1211 and the bottom plate 1212. A second elastic element 1241 is also sleeved on the guide rod 124 near the main unit 11, specifically on the guide rod 124 located at the second end of the first docking module 12. The second elastic element 1241 is supported between the first support plate 122 and the top plate 1211. Understandably, the second elastic element 1241 can apply downward pressure to the first support plate 122 through its own compression during the upward movement of the first support plate 122, thereby preventing the first support plate 122 from tilting upwards at the second end of the first docking module 12.

[0061] Furthermore, a cover plate 1261 is provided on the top of the first docking module 12, and a baffle is provided around the periphery of the first docking module 12.

[0062] The cover plate 1261 is placed on top of the top plate 1211 and can move relative to the top plate 1211 along the direction from the first end to the second end of the first docking module 12. During the docking process, as the second docking module 22 moves toward the first docking module 12, the second support plate 221 of the second docking module 22 can push the cover plate 1261 toward the direction of the second end of the first docking module 12. When the second docking module 22 is disengaged from the first docking module 12, the cover plate 1261 can be placed back on the first docking module 12 to protect the first docking module 12.

[0063] Specifically, a third elastic element 1263 is provided between the top plate 1211 and the cover plate 1261, and the third elastic element 1263 connects the top plate 1211 and the cover plate 1261. Specifically, one end of the third elastic element 1263 is connected to the end of the top plate 1211 located at the second end of the first docking module 12, and the other end is connected to the end of the cover plate 1261 located at the second end of the first docking module 12. The third elastic element 1263 provides an elastic force to automatically reset the cover plate 1261 after the second docking module 22 separates from the first docking module 12. More specifically, when the second docking module 22 is pushed into the first docking module 12, the third elastic element 1263 is gradually stretched, and after the second docking module 22 separates from the first docking module 12, it retracts to release the elastic force.

[0064] Specifically, the cover plate 1261 is also provided with a first position sensing element 1264 and a second position sensing element 1265. The first position sensing element 1264 is located at the end of the cover plate 1261 away from the second docking module 22, that is, at the second end of the first docking module 12; the second position sensing element 1265 is located at the end of the cover plate 1261 close to the second docking module 22, that is, at the first end of the first docking module 12. A first position probe 1266 is provided on the top plate 1211, and the first position probe 1266 is electrically connected to the control unit 111. When the first position probe 1266 corresponds to the first position sensing element 1264, it indicates that the first docking module 12 and the second docking module 22 have disengaged or are ready to dock. When the first position probe 1266 corresponds to the second position sensing element 1265, it indicates that the first docking module 12 and the second docking module 22 have been aligned and the moving connector 125 and the fixed connector 222 can be docked.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first position sensing element 1264 and the second position sensing element 1265 can be magnetic elements, and the first position probe 1266 can be a magnetic switch.

[0066] Figure 10 The diagram shown is a top view of the second docking module. Figure 11 As shown Figure 10 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure in the XI-XI direction. Figure 12 As shown Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the decomposition structure of related structures. (e.g.) Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the position and type of the fixed connector 222 correspond to the position and type of the movable connector 125. It can be understood that the fixed connector 222 includes a third type connector 2221 corresponding to the first type connector 1251 and a fourth type connector 2222 corresponding to the second type connector 1252. In this embodiment, the third type connector 2221 can be a liquid dispensing connector and a flushing connector, while the fourth type connector 2222 can be a steam connector. Similarly, the fourth type connector 2222 is positioned closer to the first docking module 12 on the second support plate 221 than the third type connector 2221.

[0067] The distance between the first type of connector 1251 and the third type of connector 2221 is less than the distance between the second type of connector 1252 and the fourth type of connector 2222. Preferably, when the second docking module 22 moves above the first docking module 12, the distance between the lower end of the third type of connector 2221 and the upper surface of the first support plate 122 is less than the distance between the lower end of the fourth type of connector 2222 and the upper surface of the first support plate 122.

[0068] To more effectively achieve a smooth connection between the movable connector 125 and the fixed connector 222, one of the first type connector 1251 and the second type connector 1252 can be a male connector, while the other of the first type connector 1251 and the second type connector 1252 can be a female connector. Understandably, the types of the third type connector 2221 and the fourth type connector 2222 can be determined based on the first type connector 1251 and the second type connector 1252.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first type of connector 1251 can be a female connector, while the second type of connector 1252 can be a male connector. Correspondingly, the third type of connector 2221 can be a male connector, while the fourth type of connector 2222 can be a female connector.

[0070] To ensure a smooth connection between the movable connector 125 and the fixed connector 222, in this embodiment, the fixed connector 222 can be floating. Specifically, the second docking module 22 further includes a connecting cylinder 223, a guide cylinder 224, and a fourth elastic element 225. A connecting hole (not shown in the figure) is provided on the second support plate 221. The connecting cylinder 223 is fixed in the connecting hole and extends downward. The guide cylinder 224 is floatingly disposed inside the connecting cylinder 223. Along the top-to-bottom direction, the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide cylinder 224 gradually increases in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the guide cylinder 224. Preferably, the guide cylinder 224 is in the shape of a downwardly opening trumpet. The fourth elastic element 225 is disposed inside the connecting cylinder 223 and located between the connecting cylinder 223 and the guide cylinder 224. Preferably, the fourth elastic element 225 can be sleeved on the outside of the guide cylinder 224. The fourth elastic element 225 allows the guide cylinder 224 to be compressed when subjected to an upward force relative to the connecting cylinder 223, and to automatically return to its original position after the force is removed. The aforementioned third type connector 2221 and fourth type connector 2222 are respectively fixed within their respective guide cylinders 224. That is, there can be multiple sets of connecting cylinder 223, guide cylinder 224, and fourth elastic element 225, each set containing one third type connector 2221 or a fourth type connector 2222.

[0071] When the first type of connector 1251 or the second type of connector 1252 moves upward, the guide cylinder 224 will automatically guide the first type of connector 1251 and the second type of connector 1252. At the same time, by its own swinging or up-and-down movement, it will accommodate the positional error between the first docking module 12 and the second docking module 22, so that the connection between the first type of connector 1251 and the third type of connector 2221, and between the second type of connector 1252 and the fourth type of connector 2222 is more accurate.

[0072] More specifically, a tapered connecting surface 2241 is formed at the upper end of the guide cylinder 224. The area of ​​the tapered connecting surface 2241 gradually increases along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the guide cylinder 224, moving from the direction near the second support plate 221 to the direction away from the second support plate 221. When the guide cylinder 224 is disposed inside the connecting cylinder 223, the tapered connecting surface 2241 rests on the upper end surface of the connecting cylinder 223. The tapered connecting surface 2241 facilitates the swinging of the guide cylinder 224 relative to the connecting cylinder 223 around its own axis.

[0073] A retaining edge 2242 is also provided at the lower end of the guide cylinder 224. The distance between the edge of the retaining edge 2242 and the axis of the guide cylinder 224 is greater than the diameter of the connecting cylinder 223. That is, during the process of the guide cylinder 224 rising relative to the connecting cylinder 223, the retaining edge 2242 will abut against the lower end surface of the connecting cylinder 223 to limit the distance of the guide cylinder 224 rising relative to the connecting cylinder 223.

[0074] Preferably, the distance between the bottom of the guide cylinder 224 corresponding to the third type of connector 2221 and the first type of connector 1251 is less than the distance between the bottom of the guide cylinder 224 corresponding to the fourth type of connector 2222 and the second type of connector 1252.

[0075] Figure 13 The diagram shown is an axial side view of the first support plate, power source, and various joints within the first docking module. Figure 14 As shown Figure 13 Side view diagram of the relevant structures. Figure 15 As shown Figure 14 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure in the XV-XV direction. (See attached diagram.) Figures 13 to 15 As shown, in this embodiment, to ensure the floating of the second type of connector 1252, the first docking module 12 may further include a connecting post 1254, which is buoyantly disposed on the first support plate 122. The second type of connector 1252 is disposed within the connecting post 1254.

[0076] A first clamping plate 1255 and a second clamping plate 1256 are provided on the connecting post 1254. A first support plate 122 is disposed between the first clamping plate 1255 and the second clamping plate 1256. Elastic gaskets 1257, such as PTFE gaskets, are respectively provided between the first clamping plate 1255 and the first support plate 122, and between the second clamping plate 1256 and the first support plate 122. The range of vertical movement and swing of the connecting post 1254 relative to the first support plate 122 can be limited by the thickness of the elastic gaskets 1257 and their own elasticity.

[0077] In this embodiment, the second retaining plate 1256 can be an additional retaining spring that is fixed during assembly to reduce the assembly difficulty of the connecting post 1254.

[0078] An mounting edge 1258 is formed at the top of the connecting post 1254. A first elastic member 1253 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting post 1254. One end of the first elastic member 1253 abuts against the mounting edge 1258, and the other end abuts against the first support plate 122.

[0079] Please continue to refer to Figure 9 In this embodiment, a third position sensing element 1267 and a fourth position sensing element 1268 are spaced apart along the height direction on the base 121, while a second position probe 1269 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 122. When the third position sensing element 1267 is opposite to the second position probe 1269, it indicates that the first support plate 122 is in the initial position; when the fourth position sensing element 1268 is opposite to the second position probe 1269, it indicates that the first support plate 122 is in the position where each connector has completed docking.

[0080] The third position sensing element 1267 and the fourth position sensing element 1268 can be electrically connected to the control unit 111 to sense the position of the first support plate 122.

[0081] In this embodiment, the third position sensing element 1267 and the fourth position sensing element 1268 can be photoelectric sensors. The second position probe 1269 can be a baffle.

[0082] Figure 16 The diagram shown is a system block diagram of the waste liquid treatment system. In this embodiment, the control unit 111 can be electrically connected to the suction device 112, the cleaning fluid injection device 113, and the steam generating device 114 in the main unit 11, and control each device.

[0083] Furthermore, depending on the characteristics of the position sensing device, one of the sensing elements such as the first position sensing element 1264 and the second position sensing element 1265, as well as the first position probe 1266, can be electrically connected to the control unit 111 to sense whether the second docking module 22 has moved above the first docking module 12.

[0084] Depending on the characteristics of the position sensing device, sensing elements such as the third position sensing element 1267 and the fourth position sensing element 1268, as well as the second position probe 1269, can be electrically connected to the control unit 111 to sense whether the power source 133 has moved the first support plate 122 into place.

[0085] Figure 17 The diagram shown is a side view of the joints in the first docking module and the joints in the second docking module in the unconnected state. Figure 18 As shown Figure 17 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure in the XVIII-XVIII direction. Figure 19 The diagram shown is a side view of the joints in the first docking module and the joints in the second docking module in the connected state. Figure 20 As shown Figure 19 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure in the XX-XX direction.

[0086] The following combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figures 17 to 20 This will describe the entire docking process.

[0087] When it is necessary to treat the waste liquid collected in the waste liquid collection device 20, the waste liquid collection device 20 can be moved to the waste liquid treatment device 10 first. Then, the second docking module 22 moves closer to the first docking module 12. During the docking process, the second docking module 22 pushes the cover plate 1261 backward.

[0088] During the movement, when the first position sensing element 1264 and the first position probe 1266 lose contact, it signifies the start of the docking process. When the second position sensing element 1265 contacts the first position probe 1266, the first docking module 12 and the second docking module 22 have completed the alignment process.

[0089] After the first docking module 12 and the second docking module 22 are aligned, the power source 123 is activated, driving each movable joint 125 on the first support plate 122 to move upward.

[0090] As the first support plate 122 rises, the first type of connector 1251 connects to its corresponding fixed connector 222 before the second type of connector 1252. Therefore, the guide cylinder 224 on the third type of connector 2221 will guide the first type of connector 1251 first, and the first type of connector 1251 will connect to its corresponding fixed connector 222 before the second type of connector 1252.

[0091] During the connection process, when the third type connector 2221 is connected to the first type connector 1251, the third type connector 2221 will exert a downward reaction force on the first type connector 1251. This reaction force acts on the first support plate 122, causing the end of the first support plate 122 where the second type connector 1252 is located to tilt upwards. This can easily cause difficulty in aligning the second type connector 1252 with the fourth type connector 2222, as well as causing the first support plate 122 to get stuck on the guide rod 124.

[0092] When the second type of connector 1252 comes into contact with the fourth type of connector 2222, due to the floating setting of the second type of connector 1252 and the presence of the first elastic element 1253, the first elastic element 1253 will store elastic energy through its own compression, thereby alleviating the warping of the first support plate 122 and facilitating the connection between the second type of connector 1252 and the fourth type of connector 2222.

[0093] When the fourth position sensing element 1268 is aligned with the second position probe 1269, it means that all connectors on the first docking module 12 and the second docking module 22 have been aligned.

[0094] After all the joints are connected, the suction device 112, the cleaning fluid injection device 113, and the steam generating device 114 in the main unit 11 are connected to the container tank 21 through their respective joints.

[0095] Waste liquid is discharged from the container 21 of the waste liquid collection device 20 through the drain connector, the container 21 is rinsed through the flushing connector, and then the container 21 is disinfected through the steam connector.

[0096] After disinfection is completed, the power source 123 drives the first support plate 122 to move downward, and the movable joint 125 disengages from the fixed joint 222. When the third position sensing element 1267 is opposite to the second position probe 1269, the first support plate 122 descends into place, and the movable joint 125 completely disengages from the fixed joint 222.

[0097] The first docking module 12 is disconnected from the second docking module 22, and the cover plate 1261 is gradually reset. When the first position sensing element 1264 on the cover plate 1261 is opposite to the first position probe 1266, it means that the first docking module 12 and the second docking module 22 are completely disconnected, and the processing work of the waste liquid collection device 20 is completed.

[0098] In summary, in this embodiment, the different distances between the first type of connector 1251 and the second type of connector 1252 and their respective third type of connector 2221 and fourth type of connector 2224 create a time difference during the docking of the first type of connector 1251 and the second type of connector 1252, which facilitates the docking of multiple connectors. By providing a first elastic element 1253 on the connector that is docked later in the sequence, i.e., the second type of connector 1252, during docking, it helps to align the connectors that are docked later in the sequence and prevents the first support plate 122 from tilting during the docking process.

[0099] Furthermore, by providing a second elastic element 1241 on the guide rod 124, it is possible to better prevent the first support plate 122 from tilting up at the end where the second elastic element 1241 is located, so as to better connect the various joints.
