Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sterilizers, specifically a liftable sterilizer base. Background Technology

[0002] An autoclave, also known as a high-pressure steam autoclave, can be divided into a portable autoclave and a vertical autoclave. It is a device that uses an electric heating wire to heat water to generate steam and maintain a certain pressure. It mainly consists of a sealable container, a pressure gauge, an exhaust valve, a safety valve, and an electric heating wire.

[0003] When using an autoclave, materials are typically placed inside the inner chamber, which is then placed inside the autoclave for sterilization. Due to the large volume of materials that need to be sterilized daily, the inner chamber is usually designed with a multi-layered frame structure. However, when placing and removing materials, the entire inner chamber must be removed before the materials can be placed on each layer of the inner chamber, making the operation cumbersome. Furthermore, the inner chamber, when filled with a large amount of materials, is quite heavy and inconvenient to carry. Moreover, when removing the inner chamber after sterilization, it is easy to cause burns to staff, posing a safety concern. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a liftable sterilizer base that can lift the inner liner, making it convenient for workers to place materials into the inner liner. After the materials are placed, sterilization can be performed. After sterilization, the inner liner can also be lifted to facilitate the removal of materials from the inner liner. During the operation, loading and unloading can be completed without touching the inner liner, increasing safety.

[0005] This utility model provides a liftable sterilizer base, including a pot body and a lid detachably mounted on top of the pot body. The pot body contains an inner liner that can move up and down. A heating chamber is connected to the bottom of the pot body, and a heating rod is fixed inside the heating chamber. A water pipe interface is connected to the bottom of the heating chamber. A pressure gauge and an exhaust valve are fixed to the lid. A fixing frame is fixed to the side of the pot body, and a rotatable rotating frame is rotatably mounted on the top of the fixing frame via a bearing. The rotating frame is connected to the lid via a height adjustment component. First, open the lid, the inner liner is pushed out, and the material to be sterilized is placed inside the inner liner. The inner liner is then reset, the lid is closed, and the water pipe is connected to the water pipe interface to fill the heating chamber with water. The heating rod is then activated, heating the water to generate steam, which sterilizes the material inside the inner liner.

[0006] As a further technical solution, the pot lid is detachably mounted to the top surface of the pot body via a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism enables the installation and removal of the pot lid from the pot body.

[0007] As a further technical solution, the pot body is provided with a threaded rod, and a pair of movable blocks are threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod. The internal threads of the two movable blocks are in opposite directions. Four rotating arms are rotatably provided on the outer side of the two movable blocks via a rotating shaft. The four rotating arms are distributed in a rhombus shape. The top two rotating arms are rotatably provided with a support seat 1 fixed to the bottom of the inner pot via a rotating shaft. The bottom two rotating arms are rotatably provided with a support seat 2 connected to the inner wall of the pot body via a rotating shaft. An operating door is provided on the front side of the pot body. When the operating door is opened and the threaded rod is rotated, when the two movable blocks move relative to each other, the included angle between the left and right sides of the rhombus formed by the four rotating arms increases, which can lift the inner pot, thereby facilitating the placement and removal of materials from the inner pot. When the two movable blocks move in opposite directions, the included angle between the left and right sides of the rhombus formed by the four rotating arms decreases, and the inner pot can move downward.

[0008] As a further technical solution, a pair of slide rails are fixed to the inner wall of the pot body, and sliders that are slidably connected to the slide rails are fixed to both sides of the inner pot. Under the constraint of the sliders and slide rails, the movement of the inner pot is more stable.

[0009] As a further technical solution, a rotary motor is fixed on the mounting frame, a drive gear is fixed to the output shaft of the rotary motor, and a driven gear that meshes with the drive gear is fixed to the outer side of the rotating frame. When the rotary motor is started, the output shaft of the rotary motor rotates, and under the meshing transmission of the drive gear and the driven gear, the rotating frame can drive the pot lid to rotate automatically, thus exposing the inner pot inside the pot.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the height adjustment component includes a sleeve fixed to a rotating frame, with a lead screw threaded into the sleeve, the end of which is connected to a pot lid. When the lead screw is rotated, the pot lid can move up and down with the lead screw.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the bottom end of the lead screw is rotatably mounted on the top of the pot lid via a bearing. A pair of limiting rods are fixed to the top of the pot lid, with one end of each limiting rod passing through the end of the rotating frame and extending above the rotating frame. When the lead screw is rotated, the pot lid can move up and down with the lead screw under the guidance of the limiting rods, resulting in greater stability.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This sterilizer is simple and convenient to operate, making it more convenient for staff to use. Furthermore, staff can load and unload materials without touching the inner tank during use, which enhances safety.

[0014] 2. Since the inner liner of the sterilizer is usually a multi-layered frame structure, when the lid is rotated to the side of the body, the height of the inner liner is adjustable. Lifting the inner liner makes it easy for staff to place materials inside. After the materials are placed, sterilization can be performed. After sterilization, the inner liner can also be lifted to easily remove the materials. During the operation, loading and unloading can be completed without touching the inner liner, which increases safety.

[0015] 3. The rotating rack can automatically rotate the pot lid, which will expose the inner pot and realize the automatic opening operation.

[0016] 4. The lid can also move up and down. When opening the lid, the lid can be moved up a certain distance to avoid affecting the rotation of the lid. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, the technical features of the various embodiments or individual embodiments provided by this utility model can be arbitrarily combined to form new technical solutions. Such combinations are not bound by the order of steps and / or structural composition patterns, but must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a liftable sterilizer base, including a pot body 1 and a pot cover 2 that can be detachably installed on the top of the pot body 1. The pot body 1 is provided with an inner liner 3. The bottom end of the pot body 1 is connected to a heating chamber 4. A heating rod 5 is fixed in the heating chamber 4. A water pipe interface 6 is connected to the bottom of the heating chamber 4. A pressure gauge 7 and an exhaust valve 8 are fixed on the pot cover 2.

[0024] When using, first open the pot lid 2, place the material to be sterilized into the inner pot 3, close the pot lid 2, connect the water pipe to the water pipe interface 6, fill the heating chamber 4 with water, start the heating rod 5, the heating rod 5 heats the water to generate water steam, and sterilize the material in the inner pot 3.

[0025] The lid 2 is detachably installed on the top surface of the pot body 1 via a locking component 9. The locking component 9 includes, but is not limited to, bolts, buckles, and other locking structures, enabling the lid 2 to be installed and removed from the pot body 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a fixing frame 10 is fixed to the side of the pot body 1. A rotatable rotating frame 11 is rotatably mounted on the top of the fixing frame 10 via a bearing. The rotating frame 11 is connected to the pot lid 2 via a height adjustment component. After the pot lid 2 is unlocked from the pot body 1, the pot lid 2 is moved up by the height adjustment component. At the same time, the rotating frame 11 rotates automatically, which exposes the opening at the top of the pot body 1, making it convenient to put the material into the inner pot 3 and also convenient to take the material out of the inner pot 3.

[0027] As for how the rotating frame 11 achieves automated rotation, a rotary motor 14 is fixed on the fixed frame 10, a drive gear 15 is fixed on the output shaft of the rotary motor 14, and a driven gear 16 that meshes with the drive gear 15 is fixed on the outside of the rotating frame 11.

[0028] When the rotary motor 14 is started, the output shaft of the rotary motor 14 rotates. Under the meshing transmission of the drive gear 15 and the driven gear 16, the rotating frame 11 can drive the pot lid 2 to rotate automatically, so that the inner pot 3 in the pot body 1 can be exposed.

[0029] The height adjustment assembly includes a sleeve 12 fixed to the rotating frame 11 and located at the center of the top of the pot lid 2. The sleeve 12 is internally threaded with a screw 13 connected to the pot lid 2. By rotating the screw 13, the pot lid 2 can move up and down.

[0030] The bottom end of the lead screw 13 can be rotatably mounted on the top of the pot lid 2 via a bearing. A pair of limiting rods 17 are fixed on the top of the pot lid 2. One end of the limiting rod 17 passes through the end of the rotating frame 11 and extends above the rotating frame 11. When the lead screw 13 is rotated, the pot lid 2 can move up and down with the lead screw 13 under the limiting action of the limiting rod 17.

[0031] Because the inner liner 3 of the sterilizer typically has a multi-layered frame structure, when the lid is rotated to the side of the body 1, the inner liner 3 inside the body 1 can be raised to expose the body 1, facilitating the loading and unloading of materials. Figure 2 As shown, a threaded rod 18 is provided inside the pot body 1. A pair of movable blocks 19 are threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 18. The internal threads of the two movable blocks 19 are in opposite directions. Four rotating arms 20 are provided on the outer side of the two movable blocks 19 via a rotating shaft. The four rotating arms 20 are distributed in a diamond shape. The top of the two top rotating arms 20 is provided with a support seat 1 21 fixed to the bottom of the inner pot 3 via a rotating shaft. The bottom of the two bottom rotating arms 20 is provided with a support seat 22 via a rotating shaft. The two ends of the support seat 22 are fixed to the inner wall of the pot body 1. An operating door 23 is provided on the front side of the pot body 1.

[0032] Open the operating door 23 and rotate the threaded rod 18. Since the two top rotating arms 20 and the two bottom rotating arms 20 are connected to the inner pot 3 and the pot body 1 respectively through the support seat 1 21 and the support seat 22, the two movable blocks 19 cannot rotate and can only move linearly on the threaded rod 18. When the two movable blocks 19 move relative to each other, the included angle between the left and right sides of the rhombus formed by the four rotating arms 20 increases, which can lift the inner pot 3, making it convenient to put the material into the inner pot 3 and to take the material out of the inner pot 3. When the two movable blocks 19 move in opposite directions, the included angle between the left and right sides of the rhombus formed by the four rotating arms 20 decreases, and the inner pot 3 can move down.

[0033] One end of the threaded rod 18 is fixed with an L-shaped throttle handle, which makes it convenient for workers to rotate the threaded rod 18.

[0034] A pair of slide rails 24 are fixed to the inner wall of the pot body 1, and sliders 25 that are slidably connected to the slide rails 24 are fixed on both sides of the inner pot 3. Under the restriction of the sliders 25 and the slide rails 24, the movement of the inner pot 3 is more stable.

[0035] A sealing ring is provided between the pot body 1 and the pot lid 2, as well as between the operating door 23 and the pot body 1, to ensure the airtightness of the sterilizer when it is sealed.

[0036] In summary, when using this utility model, firstly, after unlocking the pot lid 2 from the pot body 1, rotate the screw 13, and the pot lid 2 moves upward. Start the rotary motor 14, and the output shaft of the rotary motor 14 rotates. Under the meshing transmission of the drive gear 15 and the driven gear 16, the rotating frame 11 can drive the pot lid 2 to rotate automatically, so that the inner pot 3 in the pot body 1 can be exposed. Open the operating door 23, rotate the screw rod 18, and when the two movable blocks 19 move relative to each other, the included angle on the left and right sides of the rhombus formed by the four rotating arms 20 increases, which can lift the inner pot 3, making it convenient for the staff to put the material into the inner pot 3. After the material is placed, the inner pot 3 returns to its original position, and the pot lid 2 rotates back to the top of the pot body 1, so that the pot lid 2 moves down onto the pot body 1. The locking part 9 locks the pot lid 2 onto the pot body 1, completing the feeding operation.

[0037] To start the sterilizer, first connect the water pipe to water pipe interface 6 and fill the heating chamber 4 with water. Then, start the heating rod 5, which heats the water to generate steam. When the pressure gauge 7 reaches a certain value, open the exhaust valve 8 to release the cold air. At this time, the pressure gauge 7 will drop. When the pointer drops to zero, close the exhaust valve 8 and continue heating. The steam inside the sterilizer will increase, and the pressure gauge 7 will rise again. When the pressure inside the sterilizer reaches the required pressure, maintain the steam pressure for a certain period of time according to the characteristics of the items being sterilized. Then, turn off the power or flame of the sterilizer and let it cool naturally before slowly opening the exhaust valve 8 to release any remaining gas. Finally, open the lid and remove the items to complete the sterilization operation.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
