Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] The shelf used for cleaning medical devices in this embodiment, such as... Figure 1-3As shown, the system includes a frame 1, a main waterway 2, branch waterways 3, a water spray bracket 4, and a limiting frame 5. The main waterway 2 is horizontally positioned at the bottom of the frame 1, and an inlet 21 is located in the middle of the main waterway 2, with the inlet 21 facing downwards. The branch waterways 3 connect to both sides of the main waterway 2. The water spray brackets 4 are spaced apart above the branch waterways 3, and water spray holes are provided on the side walls and top of the water spray brackets 4. The limiting frame 5 includes an upper limit. The lower limit frame 51 and the upper limit frame 52 are configured as follows: the lower limit frame 5 is a square frame with a side length of 15-25cm, which is formed by interlacing vertical and horizontal bars; the ends of the vertical and horizontal bars are fixed to the frame body 1; the distance between the lower limit frame 52 and the bottom of the frame body 1 is 10-20cm (15cm is preferred); the distance between the upper limit frame 51 and the bottom of the frame body 1 is 25-35cm (20cm is preferred); the water spray bracket 4 is located in the middle of the limit frame.

[0022] During use, place the medical device to be cleaned (such as an emergency breathing bag 9, oxygen mask, etc.) with its opening facing down on the water spray bracket 4, push the bracket into the cleaning machine, and the cleaning machine's spray nozzle 8 sprays out cleaning fluid. The cleaning fluid enters the main water channel 2, branch water channel 3 and water spray bracket 4 through the inlet 21 in sequence, and finally sprays out from the spray hole of the water spray bracket 4 to spray and clean the inner wall of the medical device. Since the spray water pressure is relatively high, the upper limit bracket 51 and lower limit bracket 52 are used to clamp and limit the medical device to prevent displacement during the cleaning process.

[0023] Preferably, the main waterway 2 is arranged in a "V" shape (e.g., Figure 5 As shown), the inlet 21 is the lowest point, the end is the highest point, and the included angle N is 170-150° (optimal is 165°). This setting can prevent the water flow from directly hitting the top wall of the inlet 21 when water enters, reduce the resistance when water enters, and increase the water pressure of the branch waterway 3 and the water spray bracket 4.

[0024] In addition, casters and handles are provided. The casters are located at the four ends of the bottom of the frame 1, and the handles are located at the upper ends of both sides of the frame 1. The casters facilitate the movement of the rack into and out of the washing machine.

[0025] In addition, the shelf in this embodiment is also provided with a pressure frame 6. The top of the frame 1 is provided with a pressure frame flange 11, and the pressure frame 6 is placed on the pressure frame flange 11. The pressure frame is formed by interlacing longitudinal and transverse bars to form multiple pressure points, and each pressure point is set above the water spray bracket 4. Furthermore, the distance between the bottom of the frame 1 and the pressure frame 6 is 45-60cm (preferably 55cm), and the longitudinal and transverse bars of the pressure frame 6 are made of stainless steel with a diameter of 30-55mm (preferably 38mm). Since the water pressure is relatively high during spray cleaning, in order to prevent the medical device from being pushed away from the water spray bracket 4 by the sprayed cleaning fluid, a heavier pressure frame 6 is set to limit it.

[0026] The present embodiment of a cleaning machine uses the above-mentioned shelf for cleaning medical devices. The shelf is installed in the inner tank of the cleaning machine. The cleaning machine is provided with a slide rail 7 and a bottom water spray nozzle 8. The casters of the shelf slide on the slide rail 7. When the shelf is installed in the inner tank of the cleaning machine, the bottom water spray nozzle 8 is connected to the water inlet 21 of the shelf.
