Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of medical product production, and particularly relates to a dental cotton edge and leftover material recycling and processing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Dental cotton is a kind of medical consumable commonly used in dental and stomatological departments, and is mainly used for wound cleaning, material repair and repair of oral mucosa, etc. According to whether sterile supply, the dental cotton can be divided into non-sterile products and sterile products. The sterile products should ensure the sterile state to meet the safety requirements of clinical use.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN209465455U discloses a soundproof cotton edge and leftover material recycling device. The soundproof cotton edge and leftover material recycling device has the weighing function through the cooperation of the weighing sensor and the display screen, so that the user can measure the quantity of the recycled soundproof cotton edge and leftover material. The design of the infrared counter enables the soundproof cotton edge and leftover material recycling device to count the soundproof cotton edge and leftover material after packaging, so that the user can measure the working efficiency of the device. However, the whole recycling process is open, and for the dental cotton which needs to be treated in a sterile manner, even if a large amount of edge and leftover material needs to be recycled and processed, the open recycling mode will affect the subsequent reuse and increase the cost of subsequent reuse, and there is a certain deficiency.

[0004] Therefore, the application provides a dental cotton edge and leftover material recycling and processing device to solve the above problems. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0005] The application provides a dental cotton edge and leftover material recycling and processing device, and aims to solve the problems that the whole recycling process of the existing cotton recycling device is open, for the dental cotton which needs to be treated in a sterile manner, even if a large amount of edge and leftover material needs to be recycled and processed, the open recycling mode will affect the subsequent reuse and increase the cost of subsequent reuse, and there is a certain deficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the application provides the following technical scheme: a dental cotton edge and leftover material recycling and processing device, comprising a conveying belt and a sterile recycling mechanism installed on the conveying belt.

[0007] The aseptic recycling mechanism includes several disinfection chambers fixedly installed on a conveyor belt. These chambers are connected end-to-end and tightly fitted together. Ultraviolet lamp strips are fixedly installed on two opposite inner walls of each chamber. A guide pipe, fixedly connected to the disinfection chambers, is fixedly installed at the output end of the conveyor belt. A discharge pipe with its opening facing downwards is fixedly installed at the end of the guide pipe furthest from the disinfection chambers. In this way, dental cotton scraps are placed on the conveyor belt from the input end. As the conveyor belt rotates, the scraps enter the channel composed of the disinfection chambers. During their movement within the channel, the ultraviolet lamp strips in the disinfection chambers continuously irradiate the scraps, achieving a sterilization effect. The sterilized scraps then enter the discharge pipe through the guide pipe and are subsequently packaged in aseptic bags, achieving a closed-loop recycling effect. This reduces the labor difficulty of subsequent recycling and reuse of sterile dental cotton, saving time and effort, and is highly efficient and fast.

[0008] Preferably, to secure the disinfection chamber, fixing plates are fixedly installed on two opposing surfaces of the outer side wall of the disinfection chamber. These fixing plates have fixing holes for connecting to the conveyor belt. The disinfection chamber and the conveyor belt are secured together by inserting bolts into the fixing holes, which is convenient and quick.

[0009] Preferably, for docking the disinfection chambers, an inverted U-shaped seam strip is provided between every two adjacent disinfection chambers. On the two opposing sides of the outer wall of the seam strip, pressure strips are fixedly installed to fit against the inner and outer walls of the disinfection chamber. The docking of the disinfection chambers via the seam strip and pressure strips is more convenient and faster.

[0010] Preferably, for sealing purposes, a sealing strip is sandwiched between the two pressure strips on the joint strip. The sealing strip seals the gap between the two disinfection chambers, effectively preventing external dust and debris from entering, resulting in a cleaner and more hygienic environment.

[0011] Preferably, to facilitate maintenance of the devices inside the disinfection chamber, an inspection window is provided on the top of the disinfection chamber. A transparent panel is fixedly installed inside the inspection window, and a cover plate is hinged above the transparent panel inside the inspection window. The transmission situation in the channel can be observed at any time through the transparent panel, allowing for immediate monitoring of the mechanism's operation and facilitating maintenance.

[0012] Preferably, for turning over the scrap materials, the processing equipment further includes a turning mechanism. The turning mechanism includes a drop trough fixedly installed at the bottom middle section of the conveyor belt. An auger is obliquely rotatably installed inside the drop trough. The lower end of the auger penetrates the outer wall of the drop trough and a drive motor is fixedly installed at its end. The higher end of the auger extends to the upper surface of the conveyor belt's output end. This disrupts the scrap materials, making the sterilization of the scrap materials more comprehensive and efficient.

[0013] This recycling equipment places dental cotton scraps onto the conveyor belt from the input end. As the conveyor belt rotates, the scraps enter a channel consisting of several sterilization chambers. During their movement within the channel, ultraviolet lamps in the sterilization chambers continuously irradiate the scraps, achieving a sterilization effect. The sterilized scraps then enter the discharge pipe through a guide pipe and are subsequently packaged in sterile bags, thus achieving a closed-loop recycling effect. This reduces the labor difficulty of subsequent recycling and reuse of sterile dental cotton, saving time and effort, and is highly efficient and fast.

[0014] This recycling and processing equipment includes a material turning mechanism comprising a trough fixedly installed at the bottom middle section of the conveyor belt. An auger is obliquely rotatably mounted within the trough. The lower end of the auger penetrates the outer wall of the trough and a drive motor is fixedly installed at its end. The higher end of the auger extends to the upper surface of the conveyor belt's output end. This disrupts the scrap materials, making the sterilization of the scrap materials more comprehensive and efficient. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] This embodiment provides a dental cotton scrap recycling and processing device, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the recycling equipment includes a conveyor belt 1 and a sterile recycling mechanism 2 installed on the conveyor belt 1.

[0025] The aseptic recycling mechanism 2 includes several disinfection chambers 21 fixedly installed on the conveyor belt 1. The several disinfection chambers 21 are connected end to end and closely fitted together. Ultraviolet lamp strips 22 are fixedly installed on two opposite surfaces of the inner sidewall of the several disinfection chambers 21. A guide pipe 23 fixedly connected to the disinfection chambers 21 is fixedly installed on the output end of the conveyor belt 1. A discharge pipe 24 with its opening facing downward is fixedly installed on the end of the guide pipe 23 away from the disinfection chambers 21.

[0026] In use, dental cotton scraps are placed on conveyor belt 1 from the input end. As the conveyor belt 1 rotates, the scraps are driven into a channel composed of several sterilization chambers 21. During the movement in the channel, the ultraviolet lamps 22 in the sterilization chambers 21 continuously irradiate the scraps, thereby achieving a sterilization effect. After sterilization, the scraps enter the discharge pipe 24 through the guide pipe 23 and are then packaged in sterile bags, thereby achieving a closed-loop recycling effect. This reduces the labor difficulty in the subsequent recycling and reuse of sterile dental cotton, making it more time-saving, labor-saving, efficient and fast.

[0027] Specifically, fixing plates 25 are fixedly installed on two opposing sides of the outer wall of the disinfection chamber 21. The fixing plates 25 have fixing holes 26 for connecting with the conveyor belt 1. In use, the side of the disinfection chamber 21 with the fixing plates 25 is placed face down on the conveyor belt 1, and then the disinfection chamber 21 is fixed to the conveyor belt 1 by bolts passing through the fixing holes 26.

[0028] More specifically, an inverted U-shaped seam strip 27 is provided between every two adjacent disinfection chambers 21. A pressure strip 28, which fits against the inner and outer walls of the disinfection chamber 21, is fixedly installed on the two opposing surfaces of the outer wall of the seam strip 27. In use, each time a disinfection chamber 21 is installed, one seam strip 27 is inserted into the side of the disinfection chamber 21 using the pressure strip 28, and then the next disinfection chamber 21 is installed. Positioning is convenient and quick, facilitating the installation of the disinfection chambers 21.

[0029] Furthermore, a sealing strip 29 is sandwiched between the two pressure strips 28 on the seam strip 27. In use, the sealing strip 29 is inserted between the contact surfaces of every two disinfection chambers 21 and the seam strip 27 to improve the sealing of the disinfection chambers 21, reduce the probability of foreign objects entering the disinfection chambers 21, and improve cleanliness.

[0030] Furthermore, the top of the disinfection chamber 21 is provided with an inspection window 210, a transparent panel 211 is fixedly installed inside the inspection window 210, and a cover plate 212 is hinged above the transparent panel 211 inside the inspection window 210.

[0031] When in use, open the cover 212 to expose the transparent panel 211 so as to observe the operation of the conveyor belt 1 and the irradiation of the ultraviolet lamp strip 22, so as to perform maintenance on the equipment. Close the cover 212 to darken the environment inside the disinfection chamber 21, so as to facilitate the ultraviolet lamp strip 22 to irradiate and sterilize.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Unlike Embodiment 1, during the process of conveying dental cotton scraps on the conveyor belt 1, the scraps piled at the bottom are not easily exposed to irradiation for sterilization. Therefore, the processing equipment also includes a turning mechanism 3. The turning mechanism 3 includes a drop trough 31 fixedly installed at the middle of the bottom of the conveyor belt 1. An auger 32 is obliquely rotatably installed in the drop trough 31. The lower end of the auger 32 penetrates the outer wall of the drop trough 31 and a drive motor 33 is fixedly installed at the end. The higher end of the auger 32 extends to the upper surface of the output end of the conveyor belt 1.

[0034] When conveying scrap materials, the upper part of the scrap materials is sterilized by irradiation on the first half of the conveyor belt 1. When it reaches the drop trough 31, the sterilized scrap materials fall into the drop trough 31. Then, the drive motor 33 drives the auger 32 to rotate. The auger 32 drives the fallen scrap materials to rise again and is conveyed to the second section of the conveyor belt 1 to complete the flipping. The bottom scrap materials are sterilized again to improve the sterilization efficiency.

[0035] It should be noted that after the auger 32 rotates, it flips the scrap material onto the second conveyor belt 1, but it does not necessarily flip the side of the scrap material that was not irradiated in the first section completely over. The purpose of this device is only to break up the scrap material in order to improve the irradiation efficiency, rather than to achieve complete irradiation and disinfection.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
