[0002] In recent years, childhood infectious diseases have often caused fever in children. In order for doctors to make an accurate and objective judgment on the condition, it is often necessary to measure the body temperature of the child before seeing a doctor, which requires a large number of thermometers.

[0003] The current situation is that family members often touch other thermometers when taking them from the nurses' station, and used thermometers are then placed back on the station. Clean thermometers and used thermometers are often mixed together. However, hospitals are where patients are most concentrated and where they are most susceptible to other infections. Hospitals are home to various infectious patients (respiratory infections, drug-resistant bacteria carriers, etc.), resulting in a significantly higher density of pathogens than in normal environments. In addition, children have weaker immune systems, which increases the risk of cross-infection. Utility Model Content

[0033] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate this embodiment, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0034] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a thermometer placement plate includes a clean box 2 and a waste box 1. The clean box 2 is equipped with a rotating wheel 9, a drive assembly and a transmission assembly. The clean box 2 is equipped with a sensing control system. The rotating wheel 9 and the drive assembly are connected by the transmission assembly.

[0036] The rotating wheel 9 includes a rotating wheel body 91, which is a cylindrical structure. A thermometer receiving groove is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating wheel body 91 along its axial direction. The longitudinal section profile of the thermometer receiving groove is adapted to the profile of the thermometer 4. In this embodiment, the thermometer receiving groove is a V-shaped groove 92, which runs through the entire length of the rotating wheel body 91. The longitudinal section shape of the V-shaped groove 92 is adapted to the profile of the thermometer 4. An annular groove 93 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the middle section of the rotating wheel body 91. A shaft 94 is provided at the central axis of the rotating wheel body 91.

[0037] The number of V-grooves 92 is not attached. Figures 3-5 The quantity shown is limited; the number of V-grooves 92 can also be 2 or 3, etc.

[0038] The clean box 2 includes a clean box body 21, which is a box-shaped structure. An outlet 29 is provided on the lower end face of the clean box body 21. A rotating wheel 9 is provided above the outlet 29. Shaft holes 28 are provided on the left and right end faces of the clean box body 21. A shaft 94 is fitted into the shaft holes 28. The rotating wheel body 91 is rotatably connected to the clean box 2 through the shaft 94.

[0039] The rear end face inside the clean box body 21 is provided with a stop 26 that mates with the arc-shaped surface of the rear end of the rotating wheel 9. The stop 26 is used to prevent the thermometer 4 in the V-groove 92 from falling off unexpectedly before rotating to the outlet 29. The upper end face of the stop 26 is a slope that slopes downward toward its front end face. The side of the stop 26 that mates with the outer peripheral surface of the rotating wheel 9 is an arc-shaped surface. There is a gap between the arc-shaped surface of the stop 26 and the outer peripheral surface of the rotating wheel 9 and it extends to the outlet 29.

[0040] The front end face of the clean box body 21 is provided with a partition 27 that extends downward to the rotating wheel 9, and a gap is left between the partition 27 and the outer peripheral surface of the rotating wheel 9.

[0041] A pressure-reducing plate is provided on the front and / or rear end face of the clean box body 21 and above the rotating wheel 9. The pressure-reducing plate is used to form a cavity between its lower part and the front and / or rear end face of the inner wall of the clean box body 21. In this embodiment, the pressure-reducing plate includes a first pressure-reducing plate 25 and a second pressure-reducing plate 24 respectively provided on the front and rear end faces of the inner wall of the clean box body 21 and arranged alternately. The first pressure-reducing plate 25 and the second pressure-reducing plate 24 are inclined in opposite directions, and a passage for the thermometer 4 to move downward is formed between the first pressure-reducing plate 25 and the second pressure-reducing plate 24.

[0042] The upper end face of the clean box body 21 is provided with an inlet 22 for inserting a thermometer 4, and a receiving plate 23 is provided at the outlet 29 on the lower end face of the clean box body 21 to catch the thermometer 4 falling from the outlet 29 and slide it to the lower front end face of the clean box body 21.

[0043] The drive assembly is located inside the cleanroom body 21 and below the partition 27. The drive assembly is connected to the rotating wheel 9 via a transmission assembly. In this embodiment, the drive assembly includes a geared motor 8, and the transmission assembly includes a pulley 71 and a belt 72. The pulley 71 is fixed to the motor shaft of the geared motor 8 by a key. One end of the belt 72 is sleeved on the pulley 71, and the other end is sleeved in the annular groove 93.

[0044] In this embodiment, the sensing control system includes a proximity switch 3 installed on the right side of the cleanroom 2. The power terminal of the proximity switch 3 is connected to a power source (not shown) via a wire, and the signal output terminal of the proximity switch 3 is connected to a controller (not shown) via a wire. The controller controls the start or stop operation of the geared motor 8 according to the detection signal of the proximity switch.

[0045] The waste bin 1 includes a waste bin body 11, which is a box-shaped structure. A discharge window 12 is provided above the front end face of the waste bin body 11. Several sliding plates 14 are arranged in a staggered manner and tilted downwards on the front and rear end faces inside the waste bin body 11, forming a zigzag channel between the sliding plates 14.

[0046] Several sliding plates form a zigzag buffer channel, allowing the thermometer to slide slowly to the bottom of the waste bin, protecting it from being broken.

[0047] The thermometer 4 described in this embodiment has a protective shell, which is triangular in shape. The geared motor 8 has a built-in speed reduction mechanism to reduce the output speed of the geared motor 8 to a low speed. The induction control system can control the start or stop operation of the geared motor 8 by sensing. The induction control system and the geared motor 8 are both existing technologies and are not related to the inventive point of this utility model, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0048] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0049] Several thermometers 4, after being disinfected and sterilized, are placed into the clean box body 21 through the feed inlet 22. At this time, the first pressure relief plate 25 and the front end face of the inner wall of the clean box body 21 form a first cavity 6, and the second pressure relief plate 24 and the rear end face of the inner wall of the clean box body 21 form a second cavity 5.

[0050] When the operator places their hand near the proximity switch 3, the proximity switch 3 will detect the object within its sensing range and send out a corresponding signal. Then, the controller will start the reduction motor 8 according to the detection signal of the proximity switch 3. The power of the reduction motor 8 will be transmitted to the pulley 71, belt 72 and pulley 9 in sequence, thus driving the pulley 9 to rotate clockwise.

[0051] When the V-groove 92 of the rotating wheel 9 starts to rotate clockwise from the partition 27, the V-groove 92 will cause the thermometer 4 above it to roll upward. Then, the thermometer 4 above it enters the V-groove 92. Since the surface formed by the outward side of the thermometer 4 in the V-groove 92 and the outer peripheral surface of the rotating wheel body 91 is not a smooth and continuous cylindrical surface, as the rotating wheel 9 rotates, the thermometer 4 in the V-groove 92 will also cause the thermometer 4 above it to roll upward. Due to the existence of the first cavity 6 and the second cavity 5, the thermometer 4 above the rotating wheel body 91 will roll towards the first cavity 6 and the second cavity 5. At this time, the squeezing force between the thermometers 4 is small, and they are not easily damaged during the rolling.

[0052] As the rotating wheel 9 continues to rotate, due to the obstruction of the stop block 26, only one thermometer 4 will be carried to the outlet 29 by the V-groove 92. At this time, if the hand near the proximity switch 3 is removed, the proximity switch 3 will send out a corresponding signal if it cannot detect the object within its sensing range. Then, the controller will control the reduction motor 8 to stop according to the detection signal of the proximity switch 3.

[0053] At the same time, the thermometer 4 that fell from the outlet 29 was caught by the receiving plate 23 and eventually slid to the front of the receiving plate 23.
