[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-4. A diabetic foot debridement device includes a box 1. A foot placement platform 2 is provided inside the box 1. Multiple evenly distributed toe separation support blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the foot placement platform 2.

[0025] A movable plate 4 is slidably connected to the upper part of the inner side of the housing 1. The movable plate 4 has two vertically distributed first cavities 5 and second cavities 6. Multiple water spray nozzles 7, which are evenly distributed and communicate with the first cavity 5, are fixedly connected to the lower end face of the movable plate 4. Multiple air spray nozzles 8, which are evenly distributed and communicate with the second cavity 6, are fixedly connected to the lower end face of the movable plate 4. A hot air blower 9 is installed on the rear end face of the housing 1. A first pipe 10 is connected between the air outlet end of the hot air blower 9 and the second cavity 6. A second pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the rear end face of the housing 1. One end of the second pipe 11 passes through the housing 1 and communicates with the first cavity 5.

[0026] In this embodiment: When in use, first connect the external cleaning water delivery pipe to the second pipe 11, then place the foot on the foot placement platform 2, and insert multiple toe separation support blocks 3 into the gaps between multiple toes of the foot. The multiple toe separation support blocks 3 can separate the multiple toes of the foot to prevent the adhesion of lesion tissue. Then, medical staff perform debridement on the foot.

[0027] After processing, the electric telescopic rod 17 retracts, causing the foot placement platform 2 and the foot to move downwards, positioning them below the moving plate 4. The moving plate 4 then moves forward until it is directly above the foot. Because the section of the first pipe 10 and the second pipe 11 between the inner rear wall of the housing 1 and the rear end face of the moving plate 4 is a flexible hose, the first pipe 10 and the second pipe 11 extend as the moving plate 4 moves, supplying cleaning water into the first cavity 5 through the external cleaning water delivery pipe and the second pipe 11. The cleaning water in the first cavity 5 is then sprayed out through multiple nozzles 7 to clean the foot. After cleaning, the foot is wiped with a medical towel, and then the moving plate 4 returns to its original position. After the foot is cleaned and observed, and if there are no problems, the moving plate 4 moves forward again to directly above the foot, and then the hot air blower 9 (model 9 is Deye DY-6122 medical hot air blower, and it is equipped with a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of the hot air delivered by the hot air blower 9) is turned on. The hot air blower 9 delivers hot air into the second cavity 6 through the first pipe 10, and then the hot air is sprayed out through multiple nozzles 8. The hot air removes the water stains remaining on the outer wall of the foot. Then the treated foot is bandaged, which quickly removes the water stains remaining on the foot, effectively shortens the treatment time, and avoids the foot being exposed to the air for a long time, avoiding the wound from being contaminated by environmental microorganisms and preventing secondary infection from aggravating the patient's condition.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the left and right inner sidewalls of the housing 1 are provided with sliding grooves 12, and the left and right sidewalls of the movable plate 4 are fixedly connected with sliders 13 that match the two sliding grooves 12 respectively. The inside of the left sliding groove 12 is rotatably connected with a screw 14 that is slidably connected to the left slider 13. The screw 14 is driven by a drive motor 15 installed inside the left sidewall of the housing 1.

[0029] In this embodiment: the drive motor 15 is started, the drive motor 15 drives the screw 14 to rotate, and the screw 14, in conjunction with the slider 13 on the left side, drives the moving plate 4 to move.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a cleaning item hanger 16 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the left side wall of the box 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the medical towel can be stored by the cleaning item hanger 16, making it convenient for medical staff to use.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, an electric telescopic rod 17 is installed at the lower end of the interior of the box 1, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 17 is fixedly connected to the foot placement platform 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, the foot placement platform 2 can be moved by the electric telescopic rod 17.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a control panel 18 is installed on the right side wall of the housing 1. The control panel 18 is equipped with a control processing unit. The control panel 18 is electrically connected to the hot air blower 9, the drive motor 15 and the electric telescopic rod 17 respectively.

[0035] In this embodiment, the control panel 18 can control the start and stop of the hot air blower 9, the drive motor 15 and the electric telescopic rod 17, and can also control the temperature of the hot air delivered by the hot air blower 9.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a sewage pipe 19 is connected to the lower end of the left side wall of the box 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cleaning water after cleaning can be discharged from the tank 1 through the sewage pipe 19.

[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the section of the first pipe 10 and the second pipe 11 located between the inner rear wall of the box 1 and the rear end face of the moving plate 4 is a telescopic flexible hose structure.

[0039] In this embodiment, the section of the first pipe 10 and the second pipe 11 between the inner rear wall of the housing 1 and the rear end face of the moving plate 4 is a telescopic flexible hose structure, which can prevent the first pipe 10 and the second pipe 11 from affecting the movement of the moving plate 4.

[0040] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: When in use, first connect the external cleaning water delivery pipe to the second pipe 11, then place the foot on the foot placement platform 2, and insert multiple toe separation support blocks 3 into the gaps between multiple toes of the foot. The multiple toe separation support blocks 3 can separate the multiple toes of the foot to prevent the adhesion of lesion tissue. Then, medical staff can perform debridement treatment on the foot.

[0041] After the treatment is completed, the electric telescopic rod 17 retracts, causing the foot placement platform 2 and the foot to move downwards, positioning them below the moving plate 4. Then, the drive motor 15 is activated, driving the screw 14 to rotate. The screw 14, in conjunction with the slider 13 on the left side, moves the moving plate 4 forward until it is directly above the foot. Cleaning water is then supplied to the first cavity 5 through the external cleaning water supply pipe and the second pipe 11. The cleaning water in the first cavity 5 is then sprayed out through multiple nozzles 7 to clean the foot. After cleaning, the foot is wiped with a medical towel, and then the moving plate 4 is reset. The cleaned foot is then observed. If there are no problems, the moving plate 4 moves forward again to directly above the foot. Then, the hot air blower 9 is activated, supplying hot air to the second cavity 6 through the first pipe 10. The hot air is then sprayed out through multiple nozzles 8 to remove any remaining water stains from the outer wall of the foot. Finally, the treated foot is bandaged.
