[0027] As shown in Figures 1-3, the device includes a sterilization chamber 1, a placement box 2 slidably connected to the inner wall of the sterilization chamber 1, a fixing component 3 on the inner wall of the placement box 2, a water collection component 4 at the bottom of the placement box 2, a mounting plate 301 installed on the side wall of the placement box 2, a movable plate 302 slidably connected to the side wall of the placement box 2, a groove 303 on the side wall of the mounting plate 301, a sliding column 304 on one side of the groove 303, a spring 305 on one side of the groove 303, a first adhesive block 306 installed on one side of the mounting plate 301, a second adhesive block 307 on one side of the movable plate 302, and a moving handle 308 on the top of the movable plate 302.
[0028] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when it is necessary to fix the vial, the movable handle 308 on the top of the movable plate 302 is pulled, so that the movable plate 302 slides along the groove 303. The sliding column 304 on one side of the groove 303 slides on the inner wall of the movable plate 302, providing guidance for the movable plate 302. One side of the spring 305 is connected to one side of the movable plate 302. At this time, the spring 305 is stretched. As the movable plate 302 moves, the size of the space formed by the mounting plate 301 and the opening of the movable plate 302 is adjusted to fit the outer diameter of the vial. The movable handle 308 is released, the spring 305 retracts, and the movable plate 302 returns to its original position. The first adhesive block 306 and the second adhesive block 307 are tightly attached to the outer wall of the vial, thereby fixing the vial.
[0029] As shown in Figure 4, the water collection assembly 4 includes a water collection tank 401 installed at the bottom of the placement box 2, and the water collection tank 401 is slidably connected to the sterilization box 1. One end of the water collection tank 401 is provided with a groove 402.
[0030] It should be noted that in this embodiment, during the sterilization process, the high-temperature steam will generate condensate when it encounters cold. The bottom of the placement box 2 is designed with a grid structure so that the condensate can fall through the placement box 2 into the water collection tank 401 below. After sterilization is completed, the water collection tank 401 can be pulled out of the sterilization box 1 by pulling the pull groove 402 at one end of the water collection tank 401 and cleaning the collected condensate.
[0031] As shown in Figure 5, a first knob 101 is rotatably connected to one end of the sterilization chamber 1, and there is resistance between the first knob 101 and the sterilization chamber 1. A second knob 102 is rotatably connected to one end of the sterilization chamber 1, and there is resistance between the second knob 102 and the sterilization chamber 1.
[0032] It should be noted that in this embodiment, after the vial is fixed in the placement box 2, the placement box 2 is slid into the sterilization box 1 along the inner wall of the sterilization box 1 in preparation for sterilization. The first knob 101 is rotated to lock the placement box 2 in a suitable position in the box to prevent the placement box 2 from shifting.
[0033] Among them, the second knob 102 located on both sides of the water collection tank 401 also maintains its stable position when the water collection tank 401 is in normal use due to the resistance between it and the sterilization box 1, and can be easily operated when it needs to be pulled out for cleaning.
[0034] Working principle of this utility model:
[0035] Referring to Figures 1-5 in the instruction manual, during sterilization, first fix the vial, pull the movable handle 308 on the top of the movable plate 302 to make the movable plate 302 slide along the groove 303. The sliding column 304 on one side of the groove 303 slides on the inner wall of the movable plate 302 to provide guidance for the movable plate 302. One side of the spring 305 is connected to one side of the movable plate 302. At this time, the spring 305 is stretched. As the movable plate 302 moves, adjust the size of the space formed by the mounting plate 301 and the opening of the movable plate 302 to fit the outer diameter of the vial. Release the movable handle 308, the spring 305 retracts, and the movable plate 302 returns to its original position. The first adhesive block 306 and the second adhesive block 307 fit tightly against the outer wall of the vial, thereby fixing the vial.
[0036] After the vial is fixed in the placement box 2, slide the placement box 2 into the sterilization chamber 1 along the inner wall of the chamber to prepare for sterilization. Rotate the first knob 101 to lock the placement box 2 in a suitable position inside the chamber to prevent the placement box 2 from shifting.
[0037] During the sterilization process, high-temperature steam will generate condensate when it cools down. The bottom of the placement box 2 is designed with a grid structure, which allows the condensate to fall through the placement box 2 into the water collection tank 401 below. The second knobs 102 located on both sides of the water collection tank 401 maintain their stable position during normal use due to the resistance between them and the sterilization chamber 1. When sterilization is completed and the water collection tank 401 needs to be removed for cleaning, the second knobs 102 are rotated and the pull groove 402 at one end of the water collection tank 401 is pulled out of the sterilization chamber 1 to clean the collected condensate.
