[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device cleaning technology, and in particular to a surgical nursing instrument cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] After use, surgical instruments that are disposable must be sterilized and destroyed in a designated location, while those that are reusable must be sterilized and cleaned in a cleaning line.
[0003] In existing technologies, the steps for cleaning surgical instruments include rinsing with water, enzymatic washing, sterilizing with warm water, drying, and bagging. Each step requires sending the instruments to different production lines. Without these production lines, individuals would need to change gloves at each step to transfer the instruments, which is very inconvenient. Furthermore, since bagging is the final step, placing the surgical instruments into special packaging bags requires extreme care to prevent contact between the instruments and other items or the hands of staff, increasing the complexity of the work. In addition, existing surgical instruments are usually all placed in a basket and selected only during the final packaging, which also leads to contact between the instruments and other components. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a surgical nursing instrument cleaning device, which aims to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0006] A surgical instrument cleaning device is provided for cleaning surgical instruments. It includes a cleaning mechanism, multiple loading baskets for loading the surgical instruments in batches, and a loading tray for supporting the loading baskets. Each loading basket includes a three-sided enclosed housing, an inclined plate rotatably connected to the housing, a gripping assembly positioned above the housing and near the inclined plate, and a driving assembly for driving the inclined plate away from the housing and driving the gripping assembly. The driving assembly includes a rotating structure rotatably mounted on the housing and away from the inclined plate, and a connecting rod structure connected to the rotating structure. The connecting rod structure is connected to the gripping assembly and the inclined plate.
[0007] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the clamping assembly includes a fixing block disposed above the box body and near the side of the inclined plate. The fixing block is recessed on the side near the inclined plate to form a clamping groove.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] By setting up multiple loading baskets for loading surgical instruments and loading trays for supporting the loading baskets, the instruments required for different types of surgeries can be loaded into different loading baskets for a streamlined cleaning process. This eliminates the need for special sorting by staff at each stage; the loading baskets themselves can be used to determine the type of surgery the instruments belong to, and also avoids further contact between the instruments and staff during the sorting process. Furthermore, tilting plates are installed on the loading baskets, with clamping and driving components on these plates. When the instruments are finally placed into packaging bags during the final step of the cleaning process, only... The rotating structure drives the linkage structure to move, which in turn drives the clamping component to grip one side of the bag opening, fixing the bag in place and preventing it from shaking. Simultaneously, it drives the tilting plate away from the box, creating a ramp that allows the nursing equipment to be poured into the bag. The bag opening can be aligned with the tilting plate. When the tilting plate tilts, the other side of the bag opening is squeezed, widening the opening and allowing the loading basket to be tilted. This allows the nursing equipment in the loading basket to be poured into the bag, preventing further contact between staff and the equipment and ensuring the safety and hygiene of the equipment.

[0026] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further illustrate this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0027] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Several embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this utility model will be more thorough and complete.

When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.
[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The image shows a surgical instrument cleaning device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, used for cleaning surgical instruments. It includes a cleaning mechanism 10, multiple loading baskets 20 for loading the surgical instruments in batches, and a loading tray 30 for supporting the loading baskets 20. The loading basket 20 includes a box body 21 enclosed on three sides, an inclined plate 22 rotatably connected to the box body 21, a clamping assembly 23 disposed above the box body 21 and close to the inclined plate 22, and a driving assembly for driving the inclined plate 22 away from the box body 21 and driving the clamping assembly 23 to operate. The driving assembly includes a rotating structure 24 rotatably disposed on the box body 21 and away from the inclined plate 22, and a connecting rod structure 25 connected to the rotating structure 24. The connecting rod structure 25 is connected to the clamping assembly 23 and the inclined plate 22.
[0031] It is understandable that the cleaning mechanism 10 has various types. This embodiment uses a drying box as an example because the next step after drying the nursing instruments is to bag them. This utility model, by setting up multiple loading baskets 20 for loading surgical nursing instruments and loading trays 30 for carrying the loading baskets 20, can pack the nursing instruments required for different types of surgery into different loading baskets 20 for one-stop cleaning. This eliminates the need for special sorting by staff at each stage. The type of surgery the nursing instrument in the basket belongs to can be determined by the loading basket 20, and it also avoids further contact between the nursing instruments and staff during the sorting process. At the same time, an inclined plate 22 is set on the loading basket 20, and a clamping component 23 and a drive are set on the inclined plate 22. In the final step of the cleaning process, when the nursing instruments are placed into the packaging bag, the rotating structure 24 is rotated to move the connecting rod structure 25. This causes the connecting rod structure 25 to drive the clamping component 23 to clamp one side of the packaging bag opening, fixing the packaging bag to prevent it from shaking. At the same time, it drives the tilting plate 22 away from the box body 21, making the tilting plate 22 sloped. This allows the nursing instruments to be tilted into the packaging bag. The opening of the packaging bag can be aligned with the tilting plate 22. When the tilting plate 22 is tilted, the other side of the packaging bag opening is squeezed, making the opening larger. This allows the loading basket 20 to be tilted, allowing the nursing instruments in the loading basket 20 to be poured into the packaging bag. This prevents staff from coming into contact with the nursing instruments again, ensuring the safety and hygiene of the nursing instruments.
[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping assembly 23 includes a fixing block 231 disposed above the box body 21 and near the inclined plate 22. The fixing block 231 is recessed on the side near the inclined plate 22 to form a clamping groove 234. The clamping assembly 23 also includes a first rotating shaft 233 rotatably disposed in the fixing block 231 and a clamping plate 232 fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 233. The clamping plate 232 is movable in the clamping groove 234. The lower end of the inclined plate 22 is rotatably connected to the box body 21 through a second rotating shaft 222.
[0033] Understandably, by placing one side of the bag opening of the packaged bag into the clamping slot 234, and then rotating the first rotating shaft 233, the clamping plate 232 on the first rotating shaft 233 moves toward the fixing block 231, thus clamping and fixing one side of the bag opening of the packaged bag.
[0034] Furthermore, the rotating structure 24 includes a third rotating shaft 245 fixedly connected to the housing 21, a flywheel 243 rotatably mounted on the third rotating shaft 245, a fixed post 244 fixedly connected to the flywheel 243, a rotating ring 246 rotatably mounted on the fixed post 244, and a handle 241 fixedly connected to the flywheel 243; the connecting rod structure 25 includes a first connecting rod 251 fixedly connected to the rotating ring 246, and a second connecting rod rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 251; the inclined plate 22 has a sliding plate vertically mounted on its side. The groove 221 contains a fourth rotating shaft 254 that slides within it. The two ends of the second connecting rod are fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 233 and the fourth rotating shaft 254, respectively. The second connecting rod is integrally formed from a first angled rod 252 and a second angled rod 253 that are set at an angle to each other. The free end of the first angled rod 252 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 233, and the free end of the second angled rod 253 is fixedly connected to the fourth rotating shaft 254. A pull ring 242 is provided at one end of the box body 21 near the handle 241.
[0035] Understandably, when it is necessary to load the nursing equipment in the loading basket 20 into the packaging bag, one side of the packaging bag opening is inserted into the clamping slot 234, then the tilting plate 22 is aligned with the bag opening, then the pull ring 242 is held with the fingers, and then the handle 241 is squeezed with the palm of the hand, causing the handle 241 to drive the flywheel 243 to rotate. The flywheel 243 will drive the eccentrically mounted fixing post 244 to rotate around the center of the flywheel 243, causing the fixing post 244 to drive the rotating ring 246 on it to move towards the tilting plate 22. The rotating ring 246 will drive the first connecting rod 251 to move towards the tilting plate 22. The first connecting rod 251 presses against the second connecting rod, causing the first angled rod 252 on the second connecting rod to rotate around the first rotating shaft 233. This causes the first rotating shaft 233 to drive the clamping plate 232 to clamp the opening of the packaging bag. At the same time, the clockwise rotation of the first angled rod 252 will cause the second angled rod 253 to rotate clockwise. This causes the second angled rod 253 to drive the fourth rotating shaft 254 to slide upward along the slide groove 221 and push the inclined plate 22 to tilt slightly to form a ramp. This causes the inclined plate 22 to press against the bag opening and expand the bag opening so that the nursing device can slide into the packaging bag from the ramp.
[0036] It should be noted that the tilt angle of the tilting plate 22 does not need to be too large to prevent the opening of the sealed bag from being torn.
[0037] Furthermore, the flywheel 243 is provided with a torsion spring, and the two ends of the torsion spring are respectively connected to the flywheel 243 and the third rotating shaft 245.
[0038] Understandably, when the torsion spring is reset, the fixing post 244 on the flywheel 243 is located at the end of the flywheel 243 away from the inclined plate 22. At this time, the clamping plate 232 is still in a non-clamping state, and the inclined plate 22 is also in a non-tilting state. When the fixing post 244 on the flywheel 243 is pushed towards the inclined plate 22 by the handle 241, the torsion spring is under force. When the handle 241 is released, the torsion spring will drive the flywheel 243 to reset, so that all structures are reset. This design structure can facilitate the operation steps of the staff.
[0039] Furthermore, the loading tray 30 is provided with a plurality of partitions 31 arranged in a crisscross pattern, and a receiving space 32 for accommodating the loading basket 20 is formed between the plurality of partitions 31.
[0040] Understandably, multiple crisscrossing partitions 31 can be used to create multiple storage spaces 32 for loading baskets 20 to be placed in, and to distinguish multiple loading baskets 20. The loading tray 30 can be used to carry the loading baskets 20 for transfer at each cleaning station, which is very convenient. It should be noted that the manufacturing dimensions of the loading tray 30 need to be adapted as much as possible to the dimensions of each cleaning mechanism 10.
[0041] In summary, the surgical nursing instrument cleaning device in the above embodiments of this utility model, by setting up multiple loading baskets for loading surgical nursing instruments and loading trays for supporting the loading baskets, can load nursing instruments required for different types of surgery into different loading baskets for one-stop cleaning. This eliminates the need for special sorting by staff at each stage; the loading baskets themselves can be used to determine which type of surgery the nursing instruments belong to, and also avoids further contact between the nursing instruments and staff during the sorting process. Furthermore, an inclined plate is provided on the loading basket, and a clamping component and a driving component are installed on the inclined plate. During the final step of the cleaning process… When placing the nursing equipment into the packaging bag, simply rotate the rotating structure to move the connecting rod structure. This causes the connecting rod structure to drive the clamping component to grip one side of the packaging bag's opening, securing the bag and preventing it from shaking. Simultaneously, it drives the tilting plate away from the box, creating a ramp that allows the nursing equipment to be tilted into the packaging bag. The opening of the packaging bag can be aligned with the tilting plate. When the tilting plate tilts, the other side of the bag's opening is squeezed, widening the opening and allowing the loading basket to be tilted. This allows the nursing equipment in the loading basket to be poured into the packaging bag, preventing further contact between staff and the nursing equipment and ensuring its safety and hygiene.
