[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a quick drying rack for tourniquets, including a base 1, a rotating seat 3 rotatably connected to the top of the base 1, a drive mechanism for facilitating the rotation of the rotating seat 3 on the inner side of the base 1, a vertical rod 11 detachably installed on the top of the rotating seat 3, and three sets of drying trays 13 fitted around the outer ring of the vertical rod 11. The three sets of drying trays 13 are all connected to the vertical rod 11 by a locking mechanism that is easy to install and remove. The drying trays 13 are hollowed out, and multiple sets of placement slots 14 are opened on their tops to facilitate the laying of tourniquets.

[0024] Specifically, the hollowed-out drying tray 13 increases air circulation and accelerates the drying speed of the tourniquet. The placement slot 14 facilitates the placement and containment of the tourniquet. The locking mechanism allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the drying tray 13, and the position of the drying tray 13 can be easily adjusted to increase or decrease its quantity. The multiple sets of drying trays 13 effectively reduce the space occupied by the tourniquet when laid flat. The drive mechanism can rotate the rotating base 3 and the upright 11, thereby rotating the drying tray 13 to accelerate the drying of the tourniquet. Thus, the above structure effectively prevents and solves the problem of uneven drying and slow drying speed caused by tourniquet accumulation. At the same time, the multiple sets of drying trays 13 arranged vertically reduce the space occupied by the tourniquet when laid flat, making it suitable for use in confined medical environments.

[0025] The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 8. A groove 2 is provided on the top of the base 1. A rotating seat 3 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the groove 2. A turbine 5 is sleeved on the outer ring of the rotating seat 3. The turbine 5 meshes with a worm gear 6 rotatably connected to the inner side of the groove 2. An installation groove 7 is provided on one side of the base 1. The drive motor 8 is installed inside the installation groove 7. One end of the worm gear 6 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 8. By starting the drive motor 8, the output shaft of the drive motor 8 starts to rotate and drives the worm gear 6 to rotate in the groove 2. The rotation of the worm gear 6 drives the turbine 5 meshing with it to rotate. The rotation of the turbine 5 can drive the rotating seat 3 sleeved on its outer ring to rotate around its central axis in the groove 2. This can drive the upright 11 installed on the top of the rotating seat 3 and the drying tray 13 on the upright 11 to rotate together. This allows the tourniquet placed on the drying tray 13 to be fully dried during the rotation. Tourniquets in different positions can receive uniform ventilation and light. Thus, by setting up this mechanism, the problem of uneven drying and slow drying speed caused by tourniquet accumulation can be effectively prevented and solved.

[0026] The top of the base 1 is fitted with a cover plate 9. The top of the cover plate 9 is sloped, and a through groove 10 is provided in the center of the cover plate 9 to facilitate the rotation of the rotating seat 3. The cover plate 9 can cover and protect the drive mechanism inside the base 1, preventing external dust and debris from entering the base 1 and affecting the normal operation of the device. The sloped top of the cover plate 9 is conducive to the dripping water flowing away along the slope, avoiding water accumulation on the cover plate 9.

[0027] The rotating seat 3 has a threaded groove 4 on its top, and one end of the upright 11 has a threaded connector 12 that matches the threaded groove 4. The rotating seat 3 and the upright 11 are connected through the threaded groove 4 and the threaded connector 12, which makes it easy to remove the upright 11 from the rotating seat 3 when the drying rack needs to be repaired, replaced or transported, thus improving the maintainability and portability of the device.

[0028] The locking mechanism includes a locking seat 17. A sliding sleeve 15 is rotatably connected to the center of the drying tray 13. The sliding sleeve 15 is fitted onto the outer ring of the upright 11. Four sets of threaded plates 16 are arranged in a ring at the bottom of the sliding sleeve 15. The locking seat 17 is fitted onto the outer ring of the upright 11 below the sliding sleeve 15. The locking seat 17 is adapted to the four sets of threaded plates 16. The internal thread of the locking seat 17 is tapered. The sliding sleeve 15 is fitted onto the upright 11, so that the drying tray 13 is connected to the upright 11 through the sliding sleeve 15. The four sets of threaded plates 16 at the bottom of the sliding sleeve 15 are aligned with the locking seat 17. Since the sliding sleeve 15 is rotatably connected to the drying tray 13, the drying tray 13 can be adjusted to a suitable height first. Then, the locking seat 17 is rotated so that the threaded plates 16 are gradually screwed into the locking seat 17. As it rotates, the threaded engagement between the threaded plate 16 and the locking seat 17 brings them closer together and generates a squeezing force, thereby firmly fixing the sliding sleeve 15 to the upright 11, and thus fixing the drying tray 13 to prevent it from moving up and down or rotating during use. If it is necessary to adjust the height of the drying tray 13 on the upright 11, the locking seat 17 can be rotated in the opposite direction to loosen the engagement between the threaded plate 16 and the locking seat 17. At this time, the drying tray 13 can be moved up and down to the desired position, and then the locking seat 17 can be rotated again to lock it. Thus, by setting it up, the installation and removal of the drying tray 13 and the adjustment of the position of the drying tray 13 can be facilitated. At the same time, the number of drying trays 13 can be easily increased or decreased, effectively reducing the space occupied by the tourniquet.

[0029] The base 1 is equipped with four sets of braked casters 18 at its bottom. These casters allow the drying rack to be easily moved to the desired location.

[0030] Working principle: First, the sliding sleeve 15 is fitted onto the upright 11, connecting the drying tray 13 to the upright 11 via the sliding sleeve 15. The four sets of threaded plates 16 at the bottom of the sliding sleeve 15 are aligned with the locking seat 17. Since the sliding sleeve 15 and the drying tray 13 are rotatably connected, the drying tray 13 can be adjusted to a suitable height. Then, the locking seat 17 is rotated, causing the threaded plates 16 to gradually screw into the locking seat 17. As the rotation occurs, the threaded engagement between the threaded plates 16 and the locking seat 17 brings them closer together and generates a compressive force, thus tightly fixing the sliding sleeve 15 to the upright 11, thereby securing the drying tray 13. A tourniquet is then placed on the drying tray 13. After the tourniquet is placed in the top slot 14, the drive motor 8 is started. The drive motor 8 can drive the worm gear 6 to rotate in the groove 2. The rotation of the worm gear 6 drives the turbine 5 meshing with it to rotate. The rotation of the turbine 5 can drive the rotating seat 3, which is sleeved on its outer ring, to rotate around its central axis in the groove 2. This can drive the upright 11 installed on the top of the rotating seat 3 and the drying tray 13 on the upright 11 to rotate together. This allows the tourniquet placed on the drying tray 13 to be fully dried during the rotation. Tourniquets in different positions can receive uniform ventilation and light, so as to accelerate the drying of the tourniquet and complete the entire operation process.

[0031] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
