Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the technology. Furthermore, the terms "horizontal," "vertical," and "suspended," etc., do not mean that the component must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-3 A medical device cleaning and disinfection device includes a main control panel 1 for controlling the device, a drying and sterilization component 2 for drying and sterilizing the device, a cleaning component 3 disposed inside the drying and sterilization unit, and a combined partition component 4 for separating the drying and sterilization component 2 from the cleaning component 3.

[0032] The drying and sterilization component 2 includes a cabinet 21, a drying device 22 located inside the cabinet 21, and a sterilization device 23. The sterilization device 23 is located at the top of the inner cavity of the cabinet 21 and can be a common ultraviolet lamp or a sterilization lamp commonly used in the sterilization process of medical devices. The cleaning component 3 is also a common cleaning device, specifically including an ultrasonic cleaning tank 31 located inside the cabinet 21 and a storage bag 32 located inside the ultrasonic cleaning tank 31 for placing medical devices inside. To facilitate cleaning of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 31, the ultrasonic cleaning tank 31 is designed as a whole. The ultrasonic cleaning tank 31 can be small in size and can be disassembled and installed inside the cabinet 21. It can also be equipped with an independent battery and control panel inside, so that it can work without external power cord after the cabinet door is closed. Alternatively, it can be connected to an external power cord with an opening on the cabinet door for the power cord to pass through. Preferably, the cabinet 21 can also have an interface for connecting the main control panel 1 and the ultrasonic cleaning tank 31. After the ultrasonic cleaning tank 31 is installed inside the cabinet 21, the two interfaces are connected to achieve power supply and control. The above configuration is intended to ensure the normal operation of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 31 inside the cabinet 21.

[0033] In practical application, to divide the interior of cabinet 21 into two independent working areas, the modular partition component 4 includes a guide partition plate 41 located inside cabinet 21. The guide partition plate 41 can cooperate with the cabinet door of cabinet 21 to divide the interior of cabinet 21 into upper and lower chambers. The drying and sterilization component 2 and the cleaning component 3 are located in the two chambers respectively. The interior of cabinet 21 is equipped with an installation structure adapted to the guide partition plate 41, which can simultaneously clean and disinfect instruments. After the cleaning component 3 has finished cleaning, the operator can initially clean the ultrasonic cleaning tank 31, remove the guide partition plate 41, and let the drying and sterilization component 2 dry and sterilize the ultrasonic cleaning tank 31. This effectively reduces the space occupied by the equipment and also achieves cleaning of the interior of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 31, effectively improving the operator's work efficiency.

[0034] Considering the need to fix the position of the storage bag 32 inside the two chambers, a movable connector 5 is provided inside the cabinet 21 to suspend the storage bag 32 in the chamber above the guide partition plate 41. The movable connector 5 is generally hook-shaped, and the surface of the storage bag 32 is provided with a fixed handle that matches the movable connector 5. The movable connector 5 is located in the gap between the top of the inner cavity of the cabinet 21 and the sterilization device 23, which effectively avoids the sterilization device from directly contacting the storage bag 32, while also ensuring that the ultraviolet light emitted by the sterilization device can completely cover the inside of the storage bag 32.

[0035] Meanwhile, in order to improve the drying efficiency of the drying device 22, the drying device 22 consists of a fan and a heating pipe located on the side wall of the cabinet 21, which can blow hot air into the cabinet 21. The surface of the cabinet 21 is provided with ventilation openings that allow its interior to communicate with the outside.

[0036] In some embodiments, to ensure the heat insulation function of the material guide partition 41 and the stable flow during drying, the material guide partition 41 has a hollow cavity inside, and the surface of the material guide partition 41 has a slope inclined to one side. Meanwhile, to avoid leaving too many cleaning dead corners inside the cabinet 21, the mounting structure includes a protrusion on the surface of the cabinet 21 and a slot 42 inside the cabinet 21 that is adapted to the material guide partition 41 and extends into the protrusion. The material guide partition 41 can be inserted into the slot 42 from outside the cabinet 21.

[0037] In other embodiments, in order to collect water stains generated during drying, a water collection box 6 is provided on the outside of the cabinet 21, and a water supply channel is provided in the slot 42 inside the cabinet 21 to guide the water flowing up and down from the guide plate 41 into the water collection box 6. The water collection box 6 is detachably connected to the outside of the cabinet 21 through a fixed structure.

[0038] Meanwhile, in order to guide the hot air flow of the drying device 22 to the cleaning device when drying the cleaning device, the cabinet 21 is provided with a slot inside that allows the material guide insulation plate to be vertically inserted into it. After the material guide insulation plate is inserted into the slot, it can cooperate with the cabinet door of the cabinet 21 to divide the interior of the cabinet 21 into a U-shaped structure, thereby forming a suitable flow channel.

[0039] In the description of this technology, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this technology based on the specific circumstances.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
