Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device maintenance devices, and in particular to a self-drying otoscope disinfection device. Background Technology

[0002] An otoscope is an otoscope equipped with a light source and magnifying glass, primarily used to examine lesions in the external auditory canal, tympanic membrane, and middle ear cavity. Its applications are wide-ranging, including diagnosing ear diseases, assessing hearing loss, monitoring ear condition, removing foreign objects, and evaluating the effectiveness of ear surgeries. However, when the otoscope comes into contact with the patient's external auditory canal, it easily becomes contaminated with the patient's earwax, secretions, etc. If the patient has external auditory canal fungal infection or purulent or bloody secretions, and the otoscope is not cleaned and disinfected promptly, cross-infection is highly likely. Current techniques primarily involve wiping with alcohol-soaked gauze or soaking in disinfectant for disinfection, but these methods require manual contact with the contaminated otoscope, posing a risk of occupational exposure for doctors.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described herein without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model. Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods in the following embodiments are conventional methods, and the materials and reagents used in the following embodiments are commercially available unless otherwise specified.

[0026] This application includes a box 1 with a centrally hollowed-out design, and the interior of the box 1 is provided with the following... Figure 2The baffle 11 shown is used for dry and wet separation. A rectangular cavity for storing cleaning fluid is formed between the baffle 11 and the inner wall of the housing 1. A drain hole 12 is provided on the housing 1 to drain the cleaning fluid from the rectangular cavity. A drying platform 2 is provided inside the housing 1 to absorb residual moisture on the surface of the otoscope. The drying platform 2 is made of zeolite, which can absorb excess moisture while inhibiting bacterial growth. The center of the drying platform 2 is hollowed out. A heating tube 21 is provided at one end of the drying platform 2 closest to the housing 1. An electric push rod 31 is located at the center of the drying platform 2. The axis of the electric push rod 31 is collinear with the axis of the drying platform 2. A fixing plate 3 is installed on the moving end of the electric push rod 31. The heating tube 21 is used to increase the temperature of the drying platform 2 itself, thereby raising the temperature between the drying platform 2 and the fixing plate 3, accelerating placement on the drying platform 2. To prevent the evaporation of moisture from the surface of the otoscope, the fixed plate 3 is equipped with multiple clamping components arranged in a circular array at equal intervals around the axis of the fixed plate 3. The drying table 2 is equipped with a number of dehumidifying holes 22 that are one-to-one in position. As the electric push rod 31 changes its length, it drives the fixed plate 3 connected to it to move in the same direction, allowing the clamping components to move along the axial direction. When the distance between the fixed plate 3 and the drying table 2 shortens, the clamping components are inserted into the corresponding dehumidifying holes 22. The otoscope placed on the clamping components is inserted into the dehumidifying holes 22 and is wrapped by the drying table 2, ensuring that the drying table 2 absorbs the moisture on the surface of the otoscope.

[0027] The drying table 2 is equipped with such as Figure 6 The water valve 5 shown has an annular pipe 51 fixed to and connected to it. Multiple water distribution channels 52 are arranged on the annular pipe 51, with the number of channels 52 corresponding to the number of clamping components. The distance between the water distribution channel 52 and the electric actuator 31 is less than the distance between the clamping component and the electric actuator 31. Multiple nozzles 53 are arranged at equal intervals along the axial direction of the water distribution channel 52, spraying the cleaning fluid flowing in the water distribution channel 52 onto the surface of the otoscope located within the clamping component. When cleaning the otoscope, the length of the electric actuator 31 needs to be changed, causing the fixed plate 3 to move axially, increasing the distance between it and the drying table 2, separating the clamping component from the dehumidification hole 22, thus allowing the water distribution channel 52 to spray the entire otoscope.

[0028] The clamping assembly includes a positioning plate 4 mounted on a fixed disk 3, a steering column A41 rotatably connected to the positioning plate 4, the steering column A41 rotating around its own axis, a motor 42 mounted on the fixed disk 3, and the output shaft of the motor 42 connected to the steering column A41. A base plate 44 is slidably connected to the positioning plate 4. Sleeves 43 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the positioning plate 4. The base plate 44 is slidably connected to the positioning plate 4 via the sleeves 43. A tension spring is fitted onto each sleeve 43, with its two ends connected to the sleeve 43 and the base plate 44 respectively. A steering column B45 is rotatably connected to the base plate 44. Steering columns A41 and B45 are correspondingly positioned and equal in size. The two ends of the otoscope are placed between the positioning plate 4 and the base plate 44, and the two ends of the otoscope are clamped by steering columns A41 and B45 respectively. Rubber pads are provided on both steering columns A41 and B45 to increase friction with the otoscope and protect it from damage to its outer wall. The motor 42 drives steering column A41 to rotate, thereby causing the otoscope to rotate in the same direction, ensuring that the water distributor 52 can spray cleaning fluid onto every part of the otoscope, avoiding cleaning dead spots. Multiple drainage holes 46 are provided on the base plate 44 to prevent the cleaning solution sprayed on the otoscope from accumulating on the base plate 44 and to accelerate the evaporation of water vapor on the surface of the otoscope. One or more support rods 54 are connected to the annular tube 51. One end of the support rod 54 is installed on the annular tube 51, and the other end is installed on the drying table 2 to support the annular tube 51. A delivery pipe is connected to the water valve 5. One end of the delivery pipe is connected to the water valve 5, and the other end is connected to a liquid storage device. The liquid storage device is installed on the outer wall of the housing 1 to store the otoscope cleaning solution.

[0029] When using this device, multiple otoscopes are placed between the positioning plate 4 and the base plate 44 for clamping. The otoscopes are pushed upwards and the water distribution valve 52 sprays water to clean and disinfect the surface of the otoscopes. After spraying, the electric push rod 31 shortens itself and inserts the otoscopes into the corresponding dehumidification holes 22. The heating tube 21 heats the drying table 2 and the drying table 2 evaporates the water vapor on the surface of the otoscopes, preventing liquid residue and water mist from forming on the otoscopes.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
