Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to a humidification bottle filter element sterilization and drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] Humidifier bottle filters are components used in medical equipment, such as oxygen humidifiers, ventilators, and anesthesia machines. The disinfection and cleaning of humidifier bottle filters typically involves initial rinsing with running tap water after each use, followed by soaking in an enzyme solution (all-purpose, high-efficiency multi-enzyme cleaning solution, concentration 1:400) for 5 minutes at a water temperature of 15-30℃. During soaking, the filter should be weighed down with a heavy object to prevent it from floating. Finally, rinse directly with running tap water and scrub thoroughly with a brush to remove any residue.

[0003] The existing disinfection process is as follows: Place the cleaned humidification bottle filter element into the disinfection bucket, add disinfectant, such as 500g / L chlorine-containing disinfectant, 84 disinfectant, hydrogen peroxide, etc., according to the instructions. The disinfectant level should be higher than the height of the humidification bottle and filter element. To ensure that every corner of the humidification bottle and filter element is completely disinfected, weigh them down with a heavy object during soaking to prevent them from floating on the surface. Cover the disinfection bucket and disinfect for 30 minutes.

[0004] After disinfection, remove the filter element from the humidification bottle, rinse it repeatedly with running pure water at least three times, lay it flat in a basket, and put it in a drying cabinet to dry.

[0005] However, because the filter element of the humidification bottle is made of plastic, it cannot be completely submerged in the disinfectant during soaking, which can easily lead to some areas not being disinfected properly. After disinfection, each filter element needs to be rinsed with running pure water more than 3 times, which is very time-consuming and physically demanding for staff, and also increases water consumption. In addition, staff sometimes forget the disinfection time, causing the filter element to be soaked in the disinfectant for too long and become damaged. Utility Model Content

[0031] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a humidification bottle filter element disinfection and drying rack is used to soak humidification bottle filter elements in a disinfection tank, comprising: a frame body 200, a top cover 100, a base 300, and a lifting mechanism 400.

[0033] The frame 200 is used to hold the humidification bottle filter element. It is cubic in shape and has a cavity at the back to accommodate the filter element and disinfectant. A top cover 100 is located on top of the frame 200 to cover and restrict the position of the humidification bottle filter element, preventing it from sliding out from the top of the frame 200. A base 300 is located at the bottom of the frame 200 and can be detachably connected to it. The base 300 is made of metal or has internal counterweights, allowing the frame 200 and base 300 to sink together to the bottom of the disinfection tank after connection. A lifting mechanism 400 is connected to the base 300 and is used to lift the base 300 vertically, thereby lifting the frame 200.

[0034] Specifically, the frame 200 and the base 300 can be connected by snap-fit, magnetic connection or other methods, so that the frame 200 and the base 300 can sink together to the bottom of the disinfection pool. Those skilled in the art can choose the appropriate connection method as needed, without specific restrictions.

[0035] Specifically, the base 300 is made of corrosion-resistant material. A counterweight or a denser filler such as sand or gravel can be placed inside the base 300 to ensure that the frame 200 and the base 300 can sink together to the bottom of the disinfection pool after being connected. Those skilled in the art can choose the appropriate material and structure of the base 300 as needed, without specific restrictions.

[0036] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 400 is used to remove the base 300 and the frame 200, and when the frame 200 can sink together with the base 300, it controls the sinking speed of the base 300 to prevent the sinking speed from being too fast, which would damage the humidification bottle filter element disinfection and drying rack, the humidification bottle filter element and the disinfection pool, and improve the service life of the humidification bottle filter element disinfection and drying rack.

[0037] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 400 can be a combination of a pull rod, a telescopic rod, a servo motor, and a screw, etc., as long as it can drive the base 300 to move in the vertical direction. Those skilled in the art can choose according to their needs without specific restrictions.

[0038] Preferably, the lifting mechanism 400 can be arranged on both sides of the base 300 to make the lifting of the base 300 more stable.

[0039] Understandably, this application utilizes a detachable base 300 to allow the frame 200 to sink into the disinfection tank along with the base 300, ensuring that the humidification bottle filter element is fully immersed in the disinfectant solution and guaranteeing complete disinfection. After disinfection, the operator can separate the frame 200 from the base 300 and remove the humidification bottle filter element along with the frame 200 from the disinfection tank for cleaning and drying. The overall operation is simple and can effectively improve work efficiency.

[0040] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 400 includes a telescopic rod, one end of which is hinged to the base 300, and the other end of which extends outside the disinfection tank. Specifically, the end of the telescopic rod extending outside the disinfection tank is fixed to the disinfection tank or other external support structure, allowing the humidification bottle filter element disinfection and drying rack to be electrically driven by the base 300, reducing human intervention. Simultaneously, the soaking time of the humidification bottle filter element can be controlled by timed extension and retraction of the telescopic rod, further simplifying operation and improving the operator's experience.

[0041] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 400 further includes a slide rail, which is fixed to the side wall of the disinfection pool, and the base 300 is slidably connected to the slide rail. The slide rail restricts the settlement and removal path of the base 300, preventing excessive deviation during settlement and avoiding collisions.

[0042] In one embodiment, a magnetic suction device 310 is provided inside the base 300, which is used to attract the frame 200. The magnetic suction device 310 allows the base 300 and the frame 200 to be quickly connected and separated, further facilitating operation and improving work efficiency.

[0043] Preferably, the magnetic attraction device 310 is an electromagnet. Using an electromagnet allows the operator to apply or remove the magnetic force as needed, reducing the physical effort required to separate the frame 200 and the base 300, and making the humidification bottle filter cartridge sterilization and drying rack adaptable to the needs of more operators. The electromagnet is detachably and sealed within the base 300 to prevent corrosion by disinfectant or interference with its normal operation. Specifically, the electromagnet's circuitry is sealed within the base 300, and the operation buttons can be located on the side of the base 300 and sealed with a flexible material, allowing the operator to operate the electromagnet from outside the base 300. Those skilled in the art can adjust this as needed, as long as it does not affect operation and prevent disinfectant leakage into the base 300; no specific limitations are imposed.

[0044] In one embodiment, the base 300 further includes a timing module 320, which is electrically connected to the magnetic suction device 310. After the timing module 320 is set, the magnetic suction device 310 closes after a set period of continuous suction, causing the frame 200 to separate from the base 300. The frame 200 then floats to the surface of the disinfectant solution under the buoyancy of the humidification bottle filter element, reminding the operator to remove the frame 200.

[0045] In one embodiment, the frame 200 includes a first support 210 and a second support 220. The first support 210 forms a first receiving space for accommodating the filter head of the humidification bottle filter element and the top cover 100. The second support 220 forms a hollowed-out second space for accommodating the filter body of the humidification bottle filter element and disinfectant. The humidification bottle filter element extends from the first receiving space into the second space. Specifically, the frame 200 adopts a double-layer support structure. The first support 210 has a first opening 211. The top cover 100 is connected to the first support 210, jointly restricting the relative position of the humidification bottle filter element within the frame 200. The second support 220 is a frame structure composed of connecting rods. The top of the second support 220 has a support plate with a second opening 221. The humidification bottle filter element extends from the first opening 211 into the second opening 221, thereby extending from the first receiving space into the second space. In one embodiment, the first support 210 has a sliding slot, and the top cover 100 is slidably connected to the sliding slot. This design makes it easy for operators to remove or install the top cover 100, simplifying the operation.

[0046] Specifically, the first support 210 can form a first space by four short vertical support columns and four horizontal support columns of the top cover 100, and the humidification bottle filter element is used to accommodate the filter element head and the top cover 100. The second support 220 can form a second space by four long vertical support columns and four horizontal support columns of the base 300, and the second space is used to accommodate the main body of the humidification bottle filter element and the disinfectant.

[0047] In one embodiment, the second support 220 is made of a ferromagnetic material. Specifically, different materials can be used at different locations of the second support 220. The contact portion between the second frame 200 and the base 300 can be made of a ferromagnetic material to facilitate the base 300's adsorption of the second support 220. Other locations can be made of materials such as high-temperature resistant plastics or acrylic to reduce costs and lighten the weight of the frame 200.

[0048] In one embodiment, an airbag 110 is provided inside the top cover 100. The airbag 110 allows the frame 200 to float after separating from the base 300, alerting the operator to remove it. Preferably, there is a flow gap between the airbag 110 and the filter head of the humidification bottle filter element. That is, the airbag on the top cover will not obstruct the disinfectant from entering the filter head of the humidification bottle filter element along the flow gap, ensuring...

[0049] Preferably, the airbag 110 is positioned on the side of the upper cover 100 away from the first support 210. This arrangement prevents the airbag from inflating and contacting the humidification bottle filter element, thus avoiding inadequate disinfection due to insufficient contact between the humidification bottle filter element and the disinfectant. It also allows the operator to easily adjust the airbag 110 as needed, inflating or deflating it, or disassembling it, improving the overall adaptability of the device.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a humidification bottle filter element sterilization and drying rack, comprising:

[0051] The frame is 200mm long and is used to hold the humidification bottle filter cartridge.

[0052] The top cover 100 is located on top of the frame 200 and is used to restrict the position of the humidification bottle filter element.

[0053] The base 300 is located at the bottom of the frame 200 and can be detachably connected to the frame 200.

[0054] The lifting mechanism 400 is connected to the base 300 and is used to drive the base 300 to rise and fall in the vertical direction, thereby driving the frame 200 to rise and fall.

[0055] The lifting mechanism 400 includes a telescopic rod, one end of which is hinged to the base 300, and the other end of which extends outside the disinfection pool.

[0056] The lifting mechanism 400 also includes a slide rail, which is fixed to the side wall of the disinfection pool, and the base 300 is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0057] The base 300 is equipped with a magnetic attraction device 310, which is used to attract the frame 200. The magnetic attraction device 310 is an electromagnet. The base 300 also includes a timing module 320, which is electrically connected to the magnetic attraction device 310.

[0058] The frame 200 includes a first support 210 and a second support 220; the first support 210 forms a first receiving space for receiving the filter head and the top cover 100 of the humidification bottle filter element; the second support 220 forms a hollow second space for receiving the filter body and disinfectant of the humidification bottle filter element; the humidification bottle filter element extends from the first receiving space into the second space.

[0059] In this embodiment, the second support 220 is made of a ferromagnetic material.

[0060] In this embodiment, an airbag 110 is provided on the side of the upper cover 100 away from the first support 210.

[0061] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The operator inserts the humidification bottle filter element into the second opening 221 through the first opening 211. After placing it in place, the operator slides the top cover 100 into the sliding slot, completing the installation of the top cover 100 and the humidification bottle filter element. Then, the frame 200 is placed on the base 300, the electromagnet is activated, and the timing module 320 starts timing. After adsorption is complete, the telescopic rod is activated, causing the frame 200 and the base 300 to sink together to the bottom of the disinfection tank. After the timing module 320 reaches the set time, the electromagnet is de-energized, and the frame 200 separates from the base 300. The frame 200 floats up as a whole under the action of the airbag 110 and the humidification bottle filter element, alerting the operator to remove it.

[0062] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
