[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a cleaning basket for cleaning medical devices, including a basket 1 and a handle 2. There are two handles 2 installed opposite each other on the outer wall of the basket 1. An adjusting column 3 is detachably installed at the inner center of the basket 1, and multiple partition plates 4 are provided on its inner side. A hook 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the partition plate 4, and a collar 6 is fixedly connected to the other side. The hook 5 is located at the upper end of the partition plate 4 and hangs on the upper edge of the basket 1. The collar 6 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the adjusting column 3. A thread 7 is opened at the upper outer wall of the adjusting column 3, and a spiral sleeve 8 is sleeved on the upper end of the adjusting column 3 and threadedly connected to the thread 7.
[0032] Two handles 2 are installed on the outer wall of the basket 1 for easy handling. The adjusting column 3 can be detachably installed at the inner axis of the basket 1 by engaging with the four corner clips 9 at the bottom of the basket 1. The hook 5 on one side of the divider plate 4 is fitted onto the upper edge of the basket 1. The hook 5 is a flexible card structure that clamps the edge of the basket 1 to increase stability. The collar 6 on the other side of the divider plate 4 is fitted onto the outer wall of the adjusting column 3. The divider plate 4 can rotate around the adjusting column 3. The size of each compartment can be set by adjusting the spacing between adjacent dividers 4 to accommodate different medical devices.
[0033] Specifically, rotating the spiral sleeve 8 clockwise moves it downwards, applying pressure to the collar 6 to fix the partition plate 4. Reversing the spiral sleeve 8 releases the restriction, facilitating adjustment of the spacing between the partition plates 4. There are multiple partition plates 4, and the collars 6 on different partition plates 4 have different heights in the vertical direction, allowing multiple collars 6 to be stacked while ensuring that all partition plates 4 are at the same horizontal height. The difference in horizontal height between adjacent collars 6 is equal to the height of the collar 6 itself, allowing the collars 6 to be sequentially stacked and fitted onto the outer wall of the adjusting column 3, achieving stable layered installation of the partition plates 4 without affecting the rotation of the partition plates 4 around the adjusting column 3 to adjust the spacing.
[0034] In some embodiments, the partition plate 4 is made of polyetheretherketone resin, and the plate surface has multiple rectangular holes for water to pass through. The partition plate 4 is made of harmless polyetheretherketone resin, which has good chemical stability and biocompatibility, and will not contaminate medical devices. The rectangular hole design on the plate surface allows water to pass through smoothly, ensuring that water can fully contact the medical devices in the basket 1 during the cleaning process, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0035] In some embodiments, the end of the hook 5 that is attached to the outer wall of the basket 1 is a flexible clip structure. The flexible clip structure of the hook 5 attached to the outer wall of the basket 1 uses the flexible clip to clamp the edge of the basket 1, increasing the installation stability of the partition plate 4 and preventing it from falling off or shifting. At the same time, its elasticity allows for fine adjustment of the position of the partition plate 4.
[0036] In some embodiments, the adjusting column 3 consists of two cylinders, one thinner at the top and one thicker at the bottom. The collar 6 of the partition plate 4 is fitted onto the outer wall of the thinner cylinder, and its upper end is limited by a screw sleeve 8. The adjusting column 3 consists of two cylinders, one thinner at the top and one thicker at the bottom. The collar 6 of the partition plate 4 is fitted onto the outer wall of the thinner cylinder, and the thicker cylinder at the bottom acts as a limit to prevent the collar 6 from sliding down. Rotating the screw sleeve 8 moves it downwards, and its inner wall threaded groove engages with the upper thread 7 of the adjusting column 3, pressing down and fixing the bottom collar 6, thereby fixing the partition plate 4 and preventing it from shifting during cleaning. The inner wall of the screw sleeve 8 has a threaded groove, and a rotary valve is installed at its upper end. The inner wall threaded groove of the screw sleeve 8 matches the upper thread 7 of the adjusting column 3, and up and down movement is achieved by forward and reverse rotation. The upper rotary valve is designed for easy operation, allowing medical personnel to easily rotate the screw sleeve 8 to fix and unlock the partition plate 4.
[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom center of the basket 1 has four corner slots 10, and the bottom of the adjusting column 3 is fitted with four corner sleeves 9, which fit inside the four corner slots 10. This structure, where the four corner sleeves 9 fit into the four corner slots 10 at the bottom of the basket 1, restricts the rotation of the adjusting column 3 when the spiral sleeve 8 is rotated, ensuring that the rotational force of the spiral sleeve 8 acts only on the collar 6 and the partition plate 4, thus guaranteeing a stable adjustment process.
[0038] In some embodiments, the bottom of the adjusting column 3 is provided with a threaded hole, and a fixing valve 11 is threadedly connected inside the hole. The fixing valve 11 is located at the bottom of the outer side of the basket 1 and penetrates through the bottom of the basket 1 to further fix the adjusting column 3. The threaded hole at the bottom of the adjusting column 3 is threadedly engaged with the fixing valve 11, thereby threading the fixing valve 11 to the bottom of the adjusting column 3 and further fixing the adjusting column 3. At the same time, this design makes the adjusting column 3 detachable, which is convenient for medical staff to clean and maintain the basket 1.
[0039] Working principle:
[0040] When using this cleaning basket to clean medical devices, first reverse the spiral sleeve 8 to move it upwards along the thread 7 at the upper end of the adjusting column 3, releasing the restriction on the collar 6. Next, according to the size and shape of the medical devices, rotate the divider plate 4. Since the collar 6 on one side of the divider plate 4 is movably fitted onto the outer wall of the adjusting column 3, and the hook 5 on the other side is fitted onto the upper edge of the basket 1 with an elastic clip structure, the divider plate 4 can rotate around the adjusting column 3, thereby adjusting the spacing between adjacent divider plates 4 and dividing the inside of the basket 1 into appropriately sized compartments. After adjustment, rotate the spiral sleeve 8 clockwise to move it downwards. Using the engagement of the inner wall thread groove with the thread 7 of the adjusting column 3, pressure is applied to the collar 6 to fix the position of the divider plate 4. Then, different types of medical devices are placed in the separated compartments. The divider plate 4 is made of harmless polyetheretherketone resin and has rectangular holes on its surface, which can prevent contamination of the devices while ensuring thorough rinsing with water. After placement, medical personnel use the handle 2 to move the cleaning basket for cleaning. After cleaning, if a deep cleaning of the cleaning basket is required, the fixing valve 11 at the bottom of the adjusting column 3 can be unscrewed, and the adjusting column 3 can be removed from the four corner slots 10 at the bottom of the basket 1. This makes it convenient to thoroughly clean and disinfect the basket 1, adjusting column 3 and partition plate 4. After completion, the adjusting column 3 can be reinstalled and the fixing valve 11 can be tightened.
