Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disinfectant cotton swab technology, and in particular to a cotton swab processing and disinfection device. Background Technology

[0002] Disinfecting cotton swabs consist of a cotton stalk and a cotton head. The cotton stalk is usually made of bamboo, wood, or plastic, while the cotton head is made of medical absorbent cotton. Both ends of the disinfecting cotton swab are fixedly wrapped with cotton heads, making it an essential tool in hospitals, clinics, and homes.

[0003] Traditional disinfectant swab processing involves first attaching the cotton tip to the swab stick, then transferring the swab to a disinfection box for sterilization. Once inside the box, the swab undergoes specific disinfection treatments, which may include soaking in chemical disinfectants (such as ethanol, hydrogen peroxide, etc.), steam sterilization, or ultraviolet irradiation. The purpose of disinfection is to kill any bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms that may be present on the swab, ensuring its hygiene and safety. After disinfection, the swab may require further processing steps such as drying and packaging.

[0004] Because existing cotton swabs mainly focus on disinfecting the top of the swab when they are transferred to the disinfection box, the disinfection of the bottom of the swab may be relatively insufficient. This results in a difference in the disinfection effect between the top and bottom of the swab, and bacteria, viruses or other microorganisms may remain at the bottom of the swab.

[0026] 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.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a cotton swab processing and disinfection device, including a base plate 1. A conveyor plate 2 is symmetrically slidably connected to the top of the base plate 1. A conveyor seat 3 is symmetrically fixed to the top of each of the two conveyor plates 2. A conveyor chain 4 is drivenly connected to one side of the conveyor seat 3. A cotton swab 5 is disposed on the top of the conveyor chain 4. Two disinfection boxes 6 are disposed on the top of the base plate 1. An actuating component 7 is installed on one side of the disinfection box 6. An adjusting component 8 is installed on the top of the base plate 1. The actuating component 7 includes an actuating seat 701 slidably connected to the outer wall of the disinfection box 6. A connecting rod 702 is inserted inside the actuating seat 701. An actuating piece 703 is fixed to the outer wall of the connecting rod 702. The actuating piece 703 is arc-shaped and its lower end abuts against the outer wall of the cotton swab 5.

[0029] Specifically, a worm gear 704 is fixed to the end of the connecting rod 702 away from the actuating seat 701. A worm 706 is inserted into one side of the disinfection box 6 and meshes with the worm gear 704. An electric push rod 705 is fixed to the side of the disinfection box 6 near the worm gear 704. The output end of the electric push rod 705 is fixed to the outer wall of the actuating seat 701. The actuating seat 701 slides on the outer wall of the disinfection box 6 via a guide rail. A handle is fixed to the top of the worm 706. The angle at which the lower end of the actuating plate 703 abuts against the outer wall of the cotton swab 5 is consistent with the actuating angle required to flip the cotton swab 5. The angle at which the actuating plate 703 rotates the cotton swab 5 is an odd multiple of 180°.

[0030] Furthermore, the electric push rod 705 is activated to drive the actuating seat 701 to slide, so that the actuating plate 703 can abut against the outer wall of cotton swabs 5 of different diameters. Then, by turning the handle, the worm gear 706 is driven to rotate, and the worm gear 706 drives the worm wheel 704 to rotate. The worm wheel 704 drives the connecting rod 702 to rotate, and the connecting rod 702 drives the actuating plate 703 to rotate, thereby adjusting the actuating plate 703 to the actuating angle required to flip cotton swabs 5 of different sizes, ensuring that the actuating plate 703 flips the cotton swabs 5 when it abuts against them.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The adjusting component 8 includes a limiting seat 801 symmetrically fixed on the top of the base plate 1. A square rod 802 is inserted inside the limiting seat 801. A first connecting plate 803 is rotatably connected to the top of the base plate 1. A second connecting plate 804 is movably connected to both ends of the first connecting plate 803 through a shaft pin. The end of the second connecting plate 804 away from the first connecting plate 803 is movably connected to the bottom of the conveying plate 2.

[0033] Specifically, a first motor 805 is fixed to the top of the base plate 1, and a rotating rod 806 is fixed to the output end of the first motor. The upper end of the rotating rod 806 is inserted inside the first connecting plate 803. A second motor 807 is fixed to the outer wall of one of the limiting seats 801. The output end of the second motor 807 is fixed to one end of the square rod 802. The bottoms of the two conveying plates 2 are slidably connected to the top of the base plate 1 via guide rails. The two second connecting plates 804 are of the same length, and the angle between the two second connecting plates 804 and the first connecting plate 803 is greater than or equal to 135°, thereby ensuring that the first connecting plate 803 can stably push the two conveying seats 3 to slide simultaneously by rotating. Two shock-absorbing pads are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the base plate 1.

[0034] Furthermore, the first motor 805 is started to drive the rotating rod 806 to rotate, then the rotating rod 806 drives the first connecting plate 803 to rotate, then the first connecting plate 803 drives the second connecting plate 804 to rotate, thereby causing the two conveying plates 2 to slide simultaneously on the top of the base plate 1, and simultaneously causing the two conveying seats 3 to slide on the square rod 802, thereby adjusting the distance between the two upper conveying chains 4. Then the second motor 807 is started to drive the square rod 802 to rotate, then the square rod 802 drives the conveying chain 4 to drive the transmission, and then the conveying chain 4 drives the cotton swabs 5 to be conveyed, thus completing the adjustment work.

[0035] Working principle: Before the cotton swabs 5 are transferred to the disinfection box 6 for disinfection, the electric push rod 705 is activated to drive the actuating seat 701 to slide, so that the actuating plate 703 can abut against the outer wall of cotton swabs 5 of different diameters. Then, by turning the handle, the worm gear 706 is rotated, which in turn drives the worm wheel 704 to rotate. The worm wheel 704 then drives the connecting rod 702 to rotate, which in turn drives the actuating plate 703 to rotate. This adjusts the actuating plate 703 to the angle required for flipping cotton swabs 5 of different sizes, ensuring that the actuating plate 703 flips the cotton swabs 5 when it comes into contact with them. Then, the first motor 805 is started to drive the rotating rod 806 to rotate, and the rotating rod 806 drives the first connecting plate 803 to rotate, and the first connecting plate 803 drives the second connecting plate 804 to rotate, thereby causing the two conveying plates 2 to slide simultaneously on the top of the base plate 1, and simultaneously causing the two conveying seats 3 to slide on the square rod 802, thereby adjusting the distance between the two upper conveying chains 4. Then, the second motor 807 is started to drive the square rod 802 to rotate, and the square rod 802 drives the conveying chain 4 to drive the cotton swabs 5 to be conveyed, thus completing the adjustment work.
