[0004] In existing technologies, when ampoules are sterilized using a water bath method, disinfectant residue remains on the surface of the ampoule after sterilization. Long-term contact with the ampoule body may cause a chemical reaction, leading to corrosion or aging of the ampoule body. Therefore, an ampoule water bath sterilization cabinet is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] like Figure 1-6As shown, an ampoule water bath sterilizer includes a sterilizer body 1; a liquid storage tank 12 is provided at the bottom inner side of the sterilizer body 1; a placement tray 11 is slidably connected inside the sterilizer body 1; multiple sets of limiting grooves 18 are provided inside the placement tray 11; a leakage plate 19 is installed at the bottom of the placement tray 11; a spraying device body 13 is installed inside the liquid storage tank 12; a disinfection pump 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sterilizer body 1; the output end of the disinfection pump 14 is connected to a gas supply. Pipe 15; a heating element 16 is installed on the outside of the gas supply pipe 15; a guide plate 17 is installed inside the sterilizer body 1; an exhaust device body 100 is provided on the top of the sterilizer body 1; during operation, the liquid storage tank 12 is filled with disinfectant, then the placement tray 11 is pulled out, and the ampoule is placed inside the limiting groove 18, with the bottom of the ampoule contacting the leakage plate 19. At this time, the placement tray 11 is pushed into the sterilizer body 1, and the spraying device body 13 is driven to draw the disinfectant. The disinfectant is sprayed to sterilize the ampoules, and simultaneously, the disinfectant flows into the storage tank 12 through the drain plate 19 for recycling. After sterilization, the disinfectant pump 14 generates airflow to the air supply pipe 15, and then the heating element 16 heats the airflow inside the air supply pipe 15 to form hot air. The airflow then flows through the small holes on the outside of the air supply pipe 15 and into the sterilizer body 1 through the guide plate 17, drying the water stains remaining on the ampoules. The generated steam is discharged through the exhaust device body 100. When sterilizing ampoules by water bath method, disinfectant residue remains on the surface of the ampoules after sterilization. Long-term contact with the bottle body may cause a chemical reaction, leading to corrosion or aging of the bottle body. Therefore, to address the above problems, an ampoule water bath sterilizer is proposed. After sterilization, the ampoules are dried by hot air, reducing the corrosion of the bottle body by residual disinfectant.
[0027] like Figure 2-4 As shown, a rotating bearing 2 is installed inside the limiting groove 18; a support frame 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the rotating bearing 2; a fan blade 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 21; an air inlet 23 is opened inside the placement tray 11; during operation, the ampoule is placed above the support frame 21 inside the rotating bearing 2. After sterilization, hot air is introduced into the space between the limiting groove 18 and the leakage plate 19 through the air inlet 23. The resulting airflow will drive the fan blade 22 to rotate, so that the rotating bearing 2 rotates inside the limiting groove 18. This allows the ampoule to continuously adjust its direction when it is being dried. When drying the ampoule, the airflow will always dry one side of the bottle, which will result in lower drying efficiency on the back of the bottle. Therefore, by continuously driving the ampoule to rotate during drying, the drying effect is more uniform and efficient.
[0028] like Figure 5-6As shown, sliders 3 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the placement tray 11; a sliding column 31 is fixedly connected to the inside of the sterilizer body 1 near the sliders 3; a slider 3 is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding column 31; a return spring 32 is installed on the outside of the sliding column 31; when the placement tray 11 is pulled out from the inside of the sterilizer body 1 during operation, the slider 3 will slide on the outside of the sliding column 31, and the return spring 32 will be deformed by compression. When it is necessary to push the placement tray 11 into the sterilizer body 1, the return spring 32 will slowly rebound, pulling the placement tray 11 into the sterilizer body 1. At the same time, the return spring 32 can block the placement tray 11, increasing the stability of the placement tray 11 inside the sterilizer body 1.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, a second filter plate 41 is installed inside the air supply pipe 15; a first filter plate 4 is installed inside the air supply pipe 15; during operation, the first filter plate 4 and the second filter plate 41 are installed inside the air supply pipe 15. Through the double filtration of the second filter plate 41 and the first filter plate 4, the air passing through the disinfection pump 14 is filtered again, which increases the purity of the air entering the sterilizer body 1 and further reduces the pollution of the internal environment of the sterilizer body 1 by impurities in the air.
[0030] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a scale plate 5 is provided on the outside of the sterilization cabinet body 1 near the liquid storage tank 12; during operation, the amount of disinfectant in the liquid storage tank 12 is observed through the scale plate 5, and the disinfectant is replenished when the disinfectant level is low, reducing the possibility that the sterilization effect may be poor due to insufficient disinfectant.
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, a buffer pad 6 is fixed to the top of the support frame 21; when the ampoule is placed on the support frame 21 during operation, the buffer pad 6 is in between, and the buffer pad 6 provides excellent protection for the bottom of the ampoule.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the exhaust device body 100 is filled with activated carbon 7 inside. When working, the activated carbon 7 is filled inside the exhaust device body 100. When the exhaust device body 100 exhausts gas, the discharged vapor may carry some harmful substances and cause pollution to the surrounding environment. Therefore, the activated carbon 7 adsorbs the discharged exhaust gas, reducing the pollution that may be caused to the environment.
[0033] The working principle is as follows: The storage tank 12 is filled with disinfectant. Then, the placement tray 11 is pulled out, and the ampoules are placed inside the limiting groove 18, with the bottom of the ampoules contacting the leakage plate 19. The placement tray 11 is then pushed into the sterilizer body 1, driving the spraying device body 13 to extract and spray the disinfectant, sterilizing the ampoules. Simultaneously, the disinfectant flows through the leakage plate 19 into the storage tank 12 for recycling. After sterilization, the disinfection pump 14 generates airflow to the air supply pipe 15. The rear-drive heating element 16 heats the airflow inside the air supply pipe 15 to form hot air, which then flows through the small hole on the outside of the air supply pipe 15 and the guide plate 17 enters the sterilizer body 1 to dry the water stains remaining on the ampoule. The generated steam is discharged through the exhaust device body 100. When sterilizing the ampoule by water bath method, after sterilization, there will be disinfectant residue on the surface of the ampoule. Long-term contact with the ampoule body may cause a chemical reaction with the ampoule body, resulting in corrosion or aging of the ampoule body.Therefore, to address the above problems, an ampoule water bath sterilization cabinet is proposed. After sterilization, hot air dries the ampoules, reducing the risk of residual disinfectant corroding the bottles. The ampoules are placed above the support frame 21 inside the rotating bearing 2. After sterilization, hot air is introduced through the air inlet 23 between the limiting groove 18 and the drain plate 19. The resulting airflow drives the fan blades 22 to rotate, causing the rotating bearing 2 to rotate within the limiting groove 18. This allows the ampoules to continuously adjust their orientation during the drying process. During drying, the airflow continuously dries only one side of the bottle, resulting in lower drying efficiency on the back. Therefore, the airflow continuously rotates the ampoule during drying to ensure a more even and efficient drying effect. When the placement tray 11 is pulled out of the sterilizer body 1, the slider 3 slides outside the slider 31, and the return spring 32 is deformed by compression. When it is necessary to push the placement tray 11 into the sterilizer body 1, the return spring 32 slowly rebounds, pulling the placement tray 11 into the sterilizer body 1. Simultaneously, the return spring 32 can be used to push the tray 11 back into the sterilizer body 1. The positioning spring 32 provides a stop to the placement tray 11, increasing its stability inside the sterilizer body 1. The first filter plate 4 and the second filter plate 41 are installed inside the air supply pipe 15. Through the dual filtration of the second filter plate 41 and the first filter plate 4, the air passing through the disinfection pump 14 is filtered again, increasing the purity of the air entering the sterilizer body 1 and further reducing the pollution of the internal environment of the sterilizer body 1 by impurities in the air. The quantity of disinfectant in the storage tank 12 is observed through the scale plate 5, and the level is monitored when the disinfectant level is low. Replenishing the solution reduces the possibility of insufficient sterilization due to insufficient disinfectant. When placing the ampoules on the support frame 21, a buffer pad 6 provides excellent protection for the bottom of the ampoules. Activated carbon filler 7 is filled inside the exhaust device body 100. When the exhaust device body 100 exhausts gas, the emitted vapors may carry harmful substances and pollute the surrounding environment. Therefore, the activated carbon filler 7 adsorbs the emitted exhaust gas, reducing potential environmental pollution.

The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
