Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically a gauze counting rack. Background Technology
[0002] In clinical practice, after a patient's surgery is completed, nursing staff need to count the number of gauze pads used during the surgery. The gauze pads are placed one by one on a counting rack for medical staff to count.
[0003] However, most current gauze counting racks are of fixed size and have many long rods, which can easily lead to gauze stacking when storing gauze, and the rack itself occupies a large area. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a gauze counting rack, which solves the problems mentioned in the background.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a gauze counting rack, including a support rod, a hanging mechanism installed on the outer side of the support rod, the hanging mechanism including: an opening and closing base and a mounting sleeve, hanging rods arranged in an array on the outer side of the opening and closing base, a rotating shaft installed between the hanging rods and the opening and closing base, adjustment threads arranged in an array on the side surface of the support rod, an upper support mechanism installed at the upper end of the support rod, a base installed at the lower end of the support rod, folding grooves arranged in an array inside the base, a swing arm arranged inside the folding groove, and a foot support provided at one end of the swing arm.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an extension screw is installed between the foot support and the swing arm, and a ratchet gear is installed on the inner side of the folding groove via a pivot on the swing arm, and a pawl is installed above the ratchet gear on the inner side of the folding groove.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an upper swing rod is installed in an internal annular array of the upper support mechanism, a collar is installed in an array below the upper swing rod, and a clamp is installed inside the collar.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the mounting sleeve is rotatably connected to the adjusting thread, and the upper surface of the opening and closing base is provided with a non-through movable groove corresponding to the position of the hanging rod.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the mounting sleeve is configured to penetrate the opening and closing base.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the foot support is fixedly connected to the swing arm via the extension screw, and the ratchet gear engages with the ratchet pawl.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the base and the upper support mechanism are fixedly connected to the support rod by bolts.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, a rotating shaft is installed between the upper swing rod and the upper support mechanism.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] The hanging rods are arranged in a circular array on the outside of the opening and closing base. At the same time, the hanging rods are folded upward inside the hanging mechanism. The installation sleeves inside the hanging mechanism can be fixed by adjusting the threads at different positions on the support rod. Therefore, the spacing between adjacent gauze can be controlled to be the same, and the vertical spacing can also be adjusted, which is convenient for medical staff to count.
[0015] The device uses the different tooth positions of the pawl and ratchet to limit movement and adjust the angle between the swing arm and the base, making it easy to adjust the stability of the support. At the same time, the ratchet can be folded with the base, and the hanging rod can also be folded upward inside the opening and closing base. Therefore, when not in use, the overall space occupied by the device after folding is small. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.
[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a gauze counting rack, including a support rod 1. A hanging mechanism 2 is installed on the outer side of the support rod 1. The hanging mechanism 2 includes: an opening and closing base 201 and a mounting sleeve 204. The mounting sleeve 204 is connected to the opening and closing base 201. Hanging rods 202 are arranged in an array on the outer side of the opening and closing base 201. A non-through movable groove is opened on the upper surface of the opening and closing base 201 corresponding to the position of the hanging rod 202. A rotating shaft 203 is installed between the hanging rod 202 and the opening and closing base 201. Adjustment threads 7 are arranged in an array on the side surface of the support rod 1. The mounting sleeve 204 is engaged with the adjustment threads 7 for rotational connection. An upper support mechanism 3 is installed on the upper end of the support rod 1. A base 4 is installed on the lower end of the support rod 1. The base 4 and the upper support mechanism 3 are fixedly connected to the support rod 1 by bolts. Folding grooves 401 are arranged in an array inside the base 4. A swing arm 501 is arranged inside the folding groove 401. A foot support 5 is arranged at one end of the swing arm 501.
[0024] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, an extension screw 504 is installed between the foot support 5 and the swing arm 501. The foot support 5 is fixedly connected to the swing arm 501 through the extension screw 504. A ratchet 502 is installed on the inner side of the folding groove 401 via a rotating shaft. A pawl 503 is installed above the ratchet 502 on the inner side of the folding groove 401. The ratchet 502 and the pawl 503 mesh and engage. An upper swing rod 301 is installed in a ring array inside the upper support mechanism 3. A rotating shaft is installed between the upper swing rod 301 and the upper support mechanism 3. A collar 302 is installed in an array below the upper swing rod 301. A clamp 6 is installed inside the collar 302.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the base 4 and the support rod 1 are first fixed. The number of hanging mechanisms 2 arranged on the outside of the support rod 1 is selected according to the amount of gauze to be placed. After the installation sleeve 204 and the opening and closing base 201 are fitted onto the outside of the support rod 1, the installation position of the hanging mechanism 2 is controlled by rotating the adjusting threads 7 at different positions on the outside of the installation sleeve 204 and the support rod 1. Then, the upper support mechanism 3 is lifted and fixed on the upper end of the support rod 1. The hanging rod 202 on the outside of the opening and closing base 201 is rotated outward using the rotating shaft 203, and at the same time, the upper swing rod 301 is rotated and unfolded inside the upper support mechanism 3. The gauze to be stored is then draped over the unfolded part. The clamp 6 installed on the outer side of the hanging rod 202 and the collar 302 below the upper swing rod 301 can be used to clamp the cotton strips. Therefore, the spacing between the multiple layers of gauze is the same, which can ensure the same drying efficiency during drying. The foot support 5 can be adjusted to adjust the distance between itself and the swing arm 501 by extending the screw 504. At the same time, the pawl 503 and the ratchet 502 are used to limit the movement and adjust the angle between the swing arm 501 and the base 4, which facilitates the adjustment of the stability of the support. The ratchet 502 can be folded with the base 4, and the hanging rod 202 can also be folded upward inside the opening and closing base 201. Therefore, when not in use, the overall space occupied by the device after folding is small.
