Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a ventilated drying cabinet for medical devices. Background Technology

[0002] Medical devices refer to instruments, equipment, appliances, in vitro diagnostic reagents and calibrators, materials and other similar or related items that are used directly or indirectly on the human body. Their primary purpose is the diagnosis of diseases. After use, medical devices must be disinfected with alcohol or high-temperature steam and then ventilated and dried to ensure that they do not cause secondary harm to patients during the next use.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN111504014A discloses a medical device ventilated drying cabinet, which includes a cabinet body with a door. An elongated through-hole is located on the upper side of the cabinet body. A water-absorbing strip is installed on the inner surface of the cabinet top plate, extending through the through-hole to the outside of the cabinet. One end of the water-absorbing strip is placed on a ventilation and drying device. A shelf is also installed inside the cabinet, with a heater located below the shelf. When the heater is turned on to dry the instruments inside the cabinet, high-temperature water vapor is absorbed by the water-absorbing strip and then transferred to the outside of the cabinet. The drying of the instruments takes place in a relatively sealed environment, preventing the entry of bacteria and dust.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, since one part of the absorbent strip is installed inside the cabinet and the other part is exposed to the air outside the cabinet, after long-term use, the two parts of the absorbent strip may have different degrees of oxidation, resulting in different degrees of wear and tear on the absorbent strip, which affects the absorption effect of water vapor. In addition, the replacement of the absorbent strip in the existing technology is relatively troublesome, so this issue needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the drying effect of the ventilated drying cabinet on medical devices and to make it easier to replace the drying material, this application provides a ventilated drying cabinet for medical devices.

[0006] This application provides a ventilated drying cabinet for medical devices, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A ventilated drying cabinet for medical devices includes a cabinet body and a heater. A drying chamber is rotatably mounted inside the cabinet body, containing drying materials. Multiple steam inlets are provided on the side wall of the drying chamber. A horizontal plate is installed inside the drying chamber, and a heating wire is installed inside the horizontal plate. The horizontal plate divides the drying chamber into a first drying compartment and a second drying compartment. A first drive motor is provided on the cabinet body for rotating the drying chamber, switching the positions of the first and second drying compartments. A stirring assembly for stirring the drying materials is provided on the drying chamber and the cabinet body. A separator is provided inside the cabinet body to prevent debris from falling onto the medical devices during stirring. A replacement assembly for quickly replacing the drying materials is provided on the cabinet body and the drying chamber.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, water vapor enters the drying material in the drying chamber through the steam inlet. Since the drying chamber is divided into a first drying chamber and a second drying chamber, and the drying chamber is rotatably installed inside the cabinet, the positions of the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber can be switched by the first drive motor. After the drying material in the first drying chamber has fully absorbed the water vapor, the positions of the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber are switched, and the first drying chamber moves to the top of the second drying chamber. The drying material in the second drying chamber continues to absorb water vapor, thereby ensuring that the drying material in contact with water vapor always maintains a good absorption effect, reducing the residual water vapor in the cabinet, and improving the drying effect on medical devices.

[0009] The replacement component in this application allows for the replacement of the drying materials in the first and second drying chambers that have fully absorbed water vapor. Compared to the prior art, which requires the disassembly and installation of the absorbent strip, this application enables the replacement of the drying materials in the first drying chamber without shutting down the machine and is more convenient, saving the time of replacing the absorbent strip and improving the efficiency of the ventilated drying cabinet. The heating wire in this application can dry the drying materials in the first or second drying chamber that have fully absorbed water vapor, thereby enabling the drying materials in the first and second drying chambers to continuously absorb water vapor and avoiding frequent replacement of the drying materials.

[0010] The stirring assembly in this application can also stir the drying materials in the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber respectively, so that the drying materials in the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber can fully absorb water vapor and the degree of loss of the drying materials in each part is basically the same. When the stirring assembly stirs the drying materials in the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber, it may generate dry material debris. The separator in this application can collect the dry material debris to prevent the dry material debris from contaminating or damaging the medical devices inside the cabinet.

[0011] Optionally, the stirring assembly includes a second drive motor, a rotating rod, a driving bevel gear, a driven bevel gear, a mounting rod, and a stirring rod. The second drive motor is disposed on the outer wall of the cabinet. The rotating rod is disposed inside the drying chamber, with one end penetrating through the end of the drying chamber and fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor. The driving bevel gear is fixedly disposed on the end of the rotating rod away from the second drive motor. The mounting rod is disposed inside the drying chamber and is perpendicular to the rotating rod. The driven bevel gear is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the mounting rod. The driving bevel gear and the driven bevel gear mesh with each other. Two sets of stirring rods are provided, with the two sets of stirring rods respectively disposed in the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber, and both fixedly disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the mounting rod.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the second drive motor is started, which drives the rotating rod to rotate. Since the driving and driven bevel gears mesh, the rotating rod synchronously drives the mounting rod to rotate. The rotation of the mounting rod simultaneously drives two sets of stirring rods to stir the drying materials in the first and second drying chambers respectively. This ensures that the drying materials in both chambers fully absorb water vapor, and that the degree of material loss is basically the same in each part. It also facilitates the heating wire to thoroughly dry the materials that have already absorbed water vapor in either the first or second drying chamber, improving the drying efficiency. When it is necessary to switch the position of the first and second drying chambers, the second drive motor can be turned off.

[0013] Optionally, the separator includes a partition and a hole cap. The partition is disposed between the heater and the drying chamber. The side of the partition near the heater is flat, and the side of the partition near the drying chamber is a symmetrical inclined surface. The partition has multiple connecting holes. The hole cap is disposed on the inclined surface of the partition and is disposed corresponding to the connecting holes to prevent debris of the drying material from falling into the connecting holes.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the stirring component stirs the drying materials in the first and second drying chambers, it may generate dry material debris. This debris may pass through the steam inlets of the first and second drying chambers and fall onto the partition. The corresponding caps above the connecting holes of the partition prevent the debris from falling into the cabinet below the partition and onto the medical devices inside, thus avoiding contamination. Because the side of the partition near the heater is flat, water vapor can pass through the partition evenly, facilitating the dry materials' full absorption of water vapor. The side of the partition away from the heater is inclined, preventing the accumulation of dry material debris on the partition and affecting its normal use.

[0015] Optionally, collection boxes are provided at both ends of the inclined surface of the partition near the inner wall of the cabinet, and the collection boxes are set at a height lower than the inclined surface of the partition.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the stirring component stirs the dried materials in the first and second drying chambers, it may generate dried material debris, which falls onto the inclined surface of the partition through the steam inlet. Under the action of the inclined surface, the dried material debris slides into the collection box, thereby realizing the collection of dried material debris, reducing the frequency of partition cleaning, and facilitating the centralized cleaning of dried material debris in the collection box.

[0017] Optionally, two sets of slots are symmetrically provided on the inner wall of the cabinet, and two sets of strips are symmetrically provided on the partition, with each set of strips slidingly disposed in one of the two sets of slots.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the partition needs to be cleaned due to long-term use, the two sets of slots on the inner wall of the cabinet and the two sets of clips on the partition can make the partition slide out, thereby facilitating the quick disassembly, cleaning and installation of the partition.

[0019] Optionally, the replacement assembly includes a first replacement door, a second replacement door, a first locking element, and a second locking element. The first replacement door is located on the upper part of the cabinet. Two sets of the second replacement doors are provided, and the two sets of second replacement doors are symmetrically arranged on the drying chamber for opening the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber respectively. The first locking element is provided on the first replacement door for quickly opening and closing the first replacement door. The second locking element is provided on the second replacement door for quickly opening and closing the second replacement door. The first locking element and the second locking element are configured in the same way.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drying material in the first or second drying chamber needs to be replaced, the second drive motor is turned off to stop stirring the drying material. Then, the first replacement door is quickly opened by the first locking member, and the second replacement door on the first or second drying chamber where the drying material needs to be replaced is quickly opened by the second locking member. The drying material in the first or second drying chamber can be replaced directly. Compared with the prior art, which requires the disassembly and installation of the water absorption strip, this application can replace the drying material in the first or second drying chamber without stopping the machine and is more convenient, saving the time of replacing the water absorption strip and improving the efficiency of the ventilated drying cabinet.

[0021] Optionally, the first locking component includes a mounting block, a toggle block, a spring, and a wedge block. The mounting block is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the cabinet. The mounting block has a movable groove, and the wedge block is movably mounted in the movable groove. The mounting block has a toggle groove, and the movable groove communicates with the toggle groove. The toggle block is fixedly mounted on the wedge block and movably mounted in the toggle groove. The spring is mounted in the movable groove, with one end fixedly connected to the wedge block and the other end fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the movable groove. When the first replacement door is closed, the first replacement door abuts against the wedge-shaped surface of the wedge block.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, during the closing process, the first replacement door first abuts against the wedge-shaped surface of the wedge block, and after abutting, pushes the wedge block to move into the movable groove. At this time, the spring is in a compressed state. After the first replacement door is completely closed, the spring extends and resets, causing the wedge block to return to its initial position. The first replacement door is fixed under the action of the wedge block. When it is necessary to open the first replacement door, push the actuating block to move away from the first replacement door. The actuating block synchronously drives the wedge block to move into the movable groove. At this time, the spring is in a compressed state. After the wedge block is completely separated from the first replacement door, the first replacement door can be opened, thereby realizing the rapid opening and closing of the first and second replacement doors.

[0023] Optionally, a sealing strip is provided on the inner wall of the cabinet, and the sealing strip is located at the position where the inner wall of the cabinet contacts the peripheral wall of the drying oven.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing strip fills the gap between the inner wall of the cabinet and the drying box, thereby improving the sealing effect between the inner wall of the cabinet and the drying box and reducing water vapor leakage.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. The drying chamber in this application is divided into a first drying chamber and a second drying chamber, and the drying chamber is rotatably installed inside the cabinet. Therefore, the positions of the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber can be switched by the first drive motor. If the drying material in the first drying chamber has fully absorbed water vapor, the positions of the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber are switched, and the first drying chamber is switched to the top of the second drying chamber. The drying material in the second drying chamber continues to absorb water vapor, thereby ensuring that the drying material in contact with water vapor always maintains a good absorption effect, reducing the residual water vapor in the cabinet and improving the drying effect on medical devices.

[0027] 2. The replacement component in this application can replace the drying material in the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber that has fully absorbed water vapor. Compared with the prior art, which requires the disassembly and installation of the water absorption strip, it can also replace the drying material in the first drying chamber without stopping the machine and is more convenient, saving the time of replacing the water absorption strip and improving the efficiency of the ventilation drying cabinet.

[0028] 3. The heating wire in this application can dry the drying material that has fully absorbed water vapor in the first drying chamber or the second drying chamber, thereby enabling the drying material in the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber to continuously absorb water vapor and avoid frequent replacement of drying material;

[0029] 4. The stirring assembly in this application can also stir the drying materials in the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber respectively, so that the drying materials in the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber can fully absorb water vapor and the degree of loss of the drying materials in each part is basically the same; when the stirring assembly stirs the drying materials in the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber, it may generate dry material debris. The separator in this application can collect the dry material debris to prevent the dry material debris from contaminating or damaging the medical devices inside the cabinet.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0038] This application discloses a ventilated drying cabinet for medical devices. (See also...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A ventilated drying cabinet for medical devices includes a cabinet body 1 and a heater 2. A drying chamber 11 is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the cabinet body 1. The drying chamber 11 contains drying materials. Multiple steam inlets 111 are provided on the side wall of the drying chamber 11. A horizontal plate 112 is detachably installed inside the drying chamber 11. A heating wire 113 is installed inside the horizontal plate 112. The horizontal plate 112 divides the drying chamber 11 into a first drying chamber 114 and a second drying chamber 115. A first drive motor 12 is fixedly installed on the cabinet body 1. A stirring assembly 3 is installed on the drying chamber 11 and the cabinet body 1. A separator 4 is installed inside the cabinet body 1. A replacement assembly 5 is installed on the cabinet body 1 and the drying chamber 11. In this embodiment, the drying material is activated alumina particles. Activated alumina particles are a preferred method in this embodiment. In other embodiments, the drying material may also be silica gel particles or other materials that can absorb water vapor.

[0039] When water vapor enters the drying material in the drying chamber 11 through the steam inlet 111, since the drying chamber 11 is divided into a first drying chamber 114 and a second drying chamber 115, and the drying chamber 11 is rotatably installed inside the cabinet 1, the positions of the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115 can be switched by the first drive motor 12. After the drying material in the first drying chamber 114 has fully absorbed the water vapor, the positions of the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115 are switched, and the first drying chamber 114 is switched to the top of the second drying chamber 115. The drying material in the second drying chamber 115 continues to absorb the water vapor, thereby ensuring that the drying material in contact with the water vapor always maintains a good absorption effect, reducing the residual water vapor in the cabinet 1, and improving the drying effect on medical devices.

[0040] In this embodiment, the replacement component 5 can replace the drying material in the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115 that has fully absorbed water vapor. Compared with the prior art, which requires the disassembly and installation of the water-absorbing strip, this embodiment can replace the drying material in the first drying chamber 114 without stopping the machine and is more convenient, saving the time of replacing the water-absorbing strip and improving the efficiency of the ventilated drying cabinet. In this embodiment, the heating wire 113 can dry the drying material in the first drying chamber 114 or the second drying chamber 115 that has fully absorbed water vapor, thereby enabling the drying material in the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115 to continuously absorb water vapor and avoid frequent replacement of drying material.

[0041] In this embodiment, the stirring assembly 3 can also stir the dried materials in the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115 respectively, so that the dried materials in the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115 can fully absorb water vapor and the degree of loss of each part of the dried materials is basically the same. When the stirring assembly 3 stirs the dried materials in the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115, it may generate dried material debris. In this embodiment, the separator 4 can collect the dried material debris to prevent the dried material debris from contaminating or damaging the medical devices in the cabinet 1.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4To achieve stirring of the dried material, the stirring assembly 3 in this embodiment includes a second drive motor 31, a rotating rod 32, a driving bevel gear 33, a driven bevel gear 34, a mounting rod 35, and a stirring rod 36. The second drive motor 31 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cabinet 1. The rotating rod 32 is rotatably installed inside the drying chamber 11, and one end of the rotating rod 32 is welded to the output end of the second drive motor 31 through the end of the drying chamber 11. The driving bevel gear 33 is welded to the end of the rotating rod 32 away from the second drive motor 31. The mounting rod 35 is rotatably installed inside the drying chamber 11 and is installed perpendicular to the rotating rod 32. The driven bevel gear 34 is sleeved and welded to the outer peripheral wall of the mounting rod 35. The driving bevel gear 33 and the driven bevel gear 34 mesh with each other. Two sets of stirring rods 36 are provided. The two sets of stirring rods 36 are respectively provided in the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115, and are both fixedly welded to the outer peripheral wall of the mounting rod 35.

[0043] The second drive motor 31 is started, which drives the rotating rod 32 to rotate. Since the driving bevel gear 33 and the driven bevel gear 34 mesh, the rotating rod 32 synchronously drives the mounting rod 35 to rotate. The rotation of the mounting rod 35 simultaneously drives the two sets of stirring rods 36 to stir the drying materials in the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115, respectively. This ensures that the drying materials in the first and second drying chambers 114 and 115 fully absorb water vapor, and that the loss of drying materials in each part is basically the same. It also facilitates the heating wire 113 to fully dry the drying materials in the first or second drying chamber 114 or 115 that have already fully absorbed water vapor, improving the drying efficiency. When it is necessary to switch the position of the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115, the second drive motor 31 can be turned off.

[0044] The stirring rod 36 may generate debris when stirring the dried material. This debris may fall into the cabinet 1 through the steam inlet 111 and onto the medical devices being dried inside the cabinet 1, thus contaminating the interior of the cabinet 1 and the medical devices. (Refer to...) Figure 3 and Figure 4 Therefore, the partition 4 in this embodiment includes a partition plate 41 and a hole cap 42. The partition plate 41 is detachably installed between the heater 2 and the drying chamber 11. The side of the partition plate 41 near the heater 2 is flat, and the side of the partition plate 41 near the drying chamber 11 is a symmetrical inclined surface. Multiple connecting holes 43 are provided on the partition plate 41. The hole cap 42 is integrally set on the inclined surface of the partition plate 41 and corresponds to the connecting hole 43. Collection boxes 44 can be detachably installed on both ends of the inclined surface of the partition plate 41 near the inner wall of the cabinet 1. The collection boxes 44 are set lower than the inclined surface of the partition plate 41 in vertical height.

[0045] When the stirring assembly 3 stirs the dried materials in the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115, the resulting dried material debris falls onto the partition 41 through the steam inlet 111. A corresponding cap 42 is integrally provided above the connecting hole 43 of the partition 41 to prevent debris from falling into the cabinet 1 and onto the medical devices inside, thus avoiding contamination of the cabinet 1 and the medical devices within. Furthermore, because the side of the partition 41 closest to the heater 2 is flat, water vapor can pass through the partition 41 evenly, facilitating the full absorption of water vapor by the dried materials. The side of the partition 41 furthest from the heater 2 is inclined, preventing the accumulation of dried material debris on the partition 41 and affecting its normal use. Under the action of the inclined surface, the debris slides into the collection box 44, thereby collecting the dried material debris, reducing the frequency of cleaning the partition 41, and facilitating the centralized cleaning of the dried material debris in the collection box 44.

[0046] After prolonged use, partition 41 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, as per [reference needed]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 Therefore, in this embodiment, two sets of slots 13 are symmetrically provided on the inner wall of the cabinet 1, and two sets of clips 411 are symmetrically welded on the partition 41. Both sets of clips 411 are slidably installed in the two sets of slots 13. Since the clips 411 are slidably installed in the slots 13, the partition 41 can be slid outward and pulled out, thereby facilitating the quick disassembly, cleaning and installation of the partition 41.

[0047] After prolonged use, the drying material's ability to absorb water vapor will decrease. Therefore, the drying material in the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115 needs to be replaced, referring to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 Therefore, the replacement component 5 in this embodiment includes a first replacement door 51, a second replacement door 52, a first locking member 53, and a second locking member 54. The first replacement door 51 is rotatably installed on the upper part of the cabinet 1. Two sets of second replacement doors 52 are rotatably installed, and the two sets of second replacement doors 52 are symmetrically rotatably installed on the drying oven 11. The first locking member 53 is installed on the first replacement door 51, and the second locking member 54 is installed on the second replacement door 52. The first locking member 53 is installed on the same as the second locking member 54.

[0048] When the drying material needs to be replaced, the second drive motor 31 is turned off to stop stirring the drying material. Then, the first replacement door 51 can be quickly opened through the first locking member 53, and the second replacement door 52 on the first drying chamber 114 or the second drying chamber 115 where the drying material needs to be replaced can be quickly opened through the second locking member 54. The drying material in the first drying chamber 114 or the second drying chamber 115 can be replaced directly. Compared with the prior art which requires the disassembly and installation of the water absorption strip, this embodiment can replace the drying material in the first drying chamber 114 or the second drying chamber 115 without stopping the machine and is more convenient. It saves the time of replacing the water absorption strip and improves the efficiency of the ventilated drying cabinet.

[0049] In order to achieve rapid opening and closing of the first replacement door 51 and the second replacement door 52, refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first locking member 53 includes a mounting block 531, a toggle block 532, a spring 533, and a wedge block 534. The mounting block 531 is welded to the upper surface of the cabinet 1. A movable groove 535 is provided on the mounting block 531. The wedge block 534 is movably installed in the movable groove 535. A toggle groove 536 is provided on the mounting block 531. The movable groove 535 communicates with the toggle groove 536. The toggle block 532 is welded to the wedge block 534 and movably installed in the toggle groove 536. The spring 533 is fixedly installed in the movable groove 535, with one end welded to the wedge block 534 and the other end welded to the inner bottom wall of the movable groove 535.

[0050] During the closing process, the first replacement door 51 first abuts against the wedge-shaped surface of the wedge block 534. After abutting, it pushes the wedge block 534 to move into the movable groove 535. At this time, the spring 533 is in a compressed state. After the first replacement door 51 is completely closed, the spring 533 extends and resets, causing the wedge block 534 to return to its initial position. The first replacement door 51 is fixed under the action of the wedge block 534. When it is necessary to open the first replacement door 51, the actuating block 532 is pushed to move away from the first replacement door 51. The actuating block 532 simultaneously drives the wedge block 534 to move into the movable groove 535. At this time, the spring 533 is in a compressed state. After the wedge block 534 is completely separated from the first replacement door 51, the first replacement door 51 can be opened, thereby realizing the rapid opening and closing of the first replacement door 51 and the second replacement door 52.

[0051] Reference Figure 4 A sealing strip 6 is affixed to the inner wall of the cabinet 1, and the sealing strip 6 is affixed at the position where the inner wall of the cabinet 1 contacts the perimeter wall of the drying oven 11. The sealing strip 6 fills the gap between the inner wall of the cabinet 1 and the drying oven 11, thereby improving the sealing effect between the inner wall of the cabinet 1 and the drying oven 11 and reducing water vapor leakage. In this embodiment, the sealing strip 6 is made of rubber, which is a preferred material in this embodiment. In other embodiments, the sealing strip 6 may be made of soft plastic or other materials.

[0052] The implementation principle of a ventilated drying cabinet for medical devices according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0053] When it is necessary to improve the drying effect of the ventilated drying cabinet on medical devices, the first drive motor 12 is activated. The first drive motor 12 switches the position of the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115. After the drying material in the first drying chamber 114 has fully absorbed water vapor, the first drying chamber 114 switches to the position above the second drying chamber 115, and the drying material in the second drying chamber 115 continues to absorb water vapor. Alternatively, the second drive motor 31 can be activated. The second drive motor 31 drives the rotating rod 32 to rotate, and the rotating rod 32 simultaneously drives the mounting rod 35 to rotate. The rotation of the mounting rod 35 can simultaneously drive the two sets of stirring rods 36 to stir the drying material in the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115 respectively, thereby achieving full absorption of water vapor by the drying material in the first drying chamber 114 and the second drying chamber 115, and ensuring that the degree of loss of the drying material in each part is basically the same.

[0054] When the dried material needs to be quickly replaced, push the actuating block 532 to move away from the first replacement door 51. The actuating block 532 simultaneously drives the wedge block 534 to move into the movable groove 535. At this time, the spring 533 is in a compressed state. After the wedge block 534 is completely separated from the first replacement door 51, the first replacement door 51 can be opened. Similarly, the second replacement door 52 can be opened to replace the dried material.
