[0040] Medical staff need to wash multiple thermometers in a cleaning tank and then remove them to a ventilated area to dry. This is undoubtedly a burden for medical staff who already have heavy workloads.

[0041] This utility model proposes a thermometer cleaning box.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the thermometer cleaning box 100 includes: a box body 1, a mounting frame 2, a rotating component 3, and a driving component 4; the box body 1 has a cleaning cavity 11 with an opening at the upper end, and an inlet 12 and an outlet 13 communicating with the cleaning cavity 11; the mounting frame 2 is disposed in the cleaning cavity 11 and has a plurality of mounting parts 22 spaced apart along the circumference, the mounting parts 22 being used for positioning the thermometer; the rotating component 3 is rotatably mounted in the cleaning cavity along the vertical axis and is located between the plurality of mounting parts 22, the rotating component 3 having a plurality of fan blades 31 arranged along the circumference; the driving component 4 is mounted on the box body 1 and is drivenly connected to the rotating component 3.

[0043] In this invention, the housing 1 has a cleaning chamber 11 for placing thermometers and injecting cleaning fluid. A mounting bracket 2 is disposed within the cleaning chamber 11 and has multiple mounting portions 22 spaced circumferentially. These mounting portions 22 are used to position the thermometers, ensuring spacing between them and preventing accumulation. Cleaning fluid is injected into the cleaning chamber 11 through the inlet 12, submerging the thermometers. A rotating component 3 then agitates the liquid to rinse the thermometers, removing impurities. The cleaning fluid can be clean water or a disinfecting liquid. After cleaning, the cleaning fluid is discharged from the outlet 13. The rotating component 3 then drives airflow within the cleaning chamber 11, quickly drying the liquid adhering to the thermometers, achieving automatic cleaning and drying of the thermometers. The fan blades 31 of the rotating component 3 agitate the liquid, causing it to impact the thermometer surface, and also circulate the gas within the cleaning chamber 11, accelerating the drying process. The driving component 4 is typically a motor that drives the rotating component 3.

[0044] After cleaning with the cleaning solution, in order to quickly dry the thermometer surface, the mounting bracket 2 is used to install the thermometer vertically, allowing the liquid adhering to the thermometer surface to drip off under gravity. The mounting bracket 2 includes multiple baffles 21, multiple first connectors 221, and multiple second connectors 222; the multiple baffles 21 are spaced apart circumferentially, and a channel is formed between any pair of adjacent baffles 21; the thermometer is placed in the channel, and the air generated when the rotating component 3 rotates passes through the narrow channel, further increasing the airflow and quickly drying the liquid on the thermometer surface. The thermometer is placed as follows: multiple first connectors 221 are respectively positioned between each pair of adjacent baffles 21 and are fixedly connected to the two baffles 21. Each first connector 221 has a limiting hole 2211 extending upwards, which is used for the thermometer to pass through and to limit the circumferential movement of the thermometer. Multiple second connectors 222 are respectively positioned between each pair of adjacent baffles 21 and are fixedly connected to the two baffles 21. The second connectors 222 are located below the first connectors 221 and are used to abut against the metal end of the thermometer. The first connectors 221 and the second connectors 222 form the mounting portion 22. The thermometer passing through the limiting hole 2211 and abutting against the second connector 222 ensures that the thermometer will not shake excessively under the rinsing of the cleaning fluid and avoids collisions with other components.

[0045] For ease of placement, the limiting hole 2211 and the thermometer are fitted with a clearance, meaning the thermometer is not perfectly positioned, resulting in the greatest wobbling at the bottom. Therefore, further restriction of the movement range of the metal end at the bottom of the thermometer is necessary. The second connecting piece 222 is recessed downwards to form a recess 2221, which corresponds vertically to the limiting hole 2211. Inserting the metal end of the thermometer into the recess 2221 prevents excessive wobbling of the thermometer.

[0046] However, during drainage, cleaning fluid will remain in the recess 2221, and the metal end at the bottom of the thermometer will be difficult to dry completely. Therefore, the recess 2221 is provided with multiple drainage holes 22211 that run through the vertical direction. The recess 2221 is spaced apart from the bottom of the cleaning chamber 11.

[0047] To increase the number of thermometers that can be cleaned, multiple limiting holes 2211 and recesses 2221 are provided in one channel to accommodate multiple thermometers. Specifically, the same first connector 221 has multiple limiting holes 2211, which are radially spaced. To ensure cleaning effectiveness, the multiple limiting holes 2211 are staggered circumferentially. The same second connector 222 has multiple recesses 2221 corresponding to the multiple limiting holes 2211.

[0048] For ease of placement, the limiting hole 2211 and the thermometer are fitted with a clearance. To prevent the thermometer from being damaged by repeated collisions with the first connecting piece 221 under cleaning fluid and rinsing, the mounting bracket 2 includes multiple rubber rings 23. The multiple rubber rings 23 are disposed around the multiple limiting holes 2211 to protect the thermometer.

[0049] If the cleaning solution used is purified water, it can only rinse away dirt and lacks disinfection effect. In this case, an ultraviolet disinfection lamp 6 can be used for disinfection and sterilization. Specifically, in one embodiment, the thermometer cleaning box 100 further includes: a cover 5 and an ultraviolet disinfection lamp 6; the cover 5 is movably installed on the box body 1 to open and close the opening of the cleaning chamber 11; the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 6 is located on the side of the cover 5 facing the cleaning chamber 11.

[0050] To prevent the first connector 221 from blocking the irradiation of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 6, multiple first connectors 221 are made transparent.

[0051] The thermometers are placed on the mounting bracket 2, roughly forming a ring. Since placing the ultraviolet (UV) disinfection lamps 6 on either the inner or outer side of the ring only disinfects one side of the thermometer, multiple UV disinfection lamps 6 are required. At least one UV disinfection lamp 6 is installed inside the mounting bracket 2, and another UV disinfection lamp 6 is installed on the outer periphery of the mounting bracket 2, arranged in a ring. Alternatively, multiple UV disinfection lamps 6 are provided, with at least one UV disinfection lamp installed inside the mounting bracket 2, and multiple UV disinfection lamps installed on the outer periphery of the mounting bracket 2, surrounding the outer periphery of the mounting bracket 2.

[0052] To achieve automated cleaning, the thermometer cleaning box 100 also includes a water valve 7 and a controller. The water valve 7 is located at the water outlet 13, and a corresponding water valve 7 can also be installed at the water inlet 12. The controller is electrically connected to the water valve 7, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 6, and the drive component 4. The controller can sequentially control the water inlet (a special cleaning solution can be added manually), cause the drive component 4 to drive the rotating component 3 to rotate, drain the water, and finally shut off the drive component 4. This achieves an automatic and intelligent cleaning effect.

[0053] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
