Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying devices, and in particular to a high-efficiency medical device drying device. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of treating diseases, medical devices are sometimes used. Some medical devices are disposable to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses. However, some devices can be reused due to their purpose and materials. But reusable devices must undergo strict reprocessing verification (such as cleaning residue testing and microbial limit control) to ensure that they meet safety standards before each use. Therefore, they generally need to be cleaned and disinfected. Conventional disinfectant or water washing methods require drying to remove residual water stains and avoid secondary contamination of the devices.
[0003] Currently available medical device drying devices mostly place the devices on the drying structure for drying. However, for some tubular devices, the drying effect is not good and the drying efficiency is low after placement.
[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, we propose a high-efficiency medical device drying device that can clamp and place tubular instruments to align with the airflow direction, thus ensuring drying effect and efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a high-efficiency medical device drying device, including an outer box and a placement component disposed in the outer box. A door is rotatably installed at the front end of the outer box, and the door covers the front side of the outer box. A transparent window is opened on the surface of the door. A temperature sensor is installed on the inner side of the outer box. An air outlet and an air return outlet are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the inner side of the outer box. An air duct is fixedly installed at the rear end of the outer box. A drying box is disposed in the air duct. A connecting channel is opened inside the upper and lower ends of the outer box. The air outlet and the air return outlet are connected to the two ends of the air duct through the connecting channel. A fan is installed between the air outlet and the air duct. The fan is used to drive the airflow to blow out from the air outlet and return the air from the air return outlet.
[0007] The mounting components include two side mounting brackets, with a mounting plate installed between them. The mounting plate is equipped with clamping components, and the bottom of the side mounting brackets is movably connected to the outer casing via a sliding member.
[0008] Preferably, the door and the outer casing are connected by hinges, and a sealing strip is provided between the door and the outer casing for sealing.
[0009] Preferably, a heating element is installed in the air outlet, and the heating elements are evenly distributed. A baffle plate is installed on the return air outlet to prevent debris from entering the return air outlet.
[0010] Preferably, the drying box contains a desiccant, and the drying box and the air duct are slidably connected, so that the desiccant can be replaced by pulling out the drying box.
[0011] Preferably, the mounting plate includes a fixed plate and a movable plate. The two ends of the fixed plate are fixedly connected to the side mounting bracket, and the movable plate and the side mounting bracket are movably connected by an adjustment component. The height of the movable plate can be adjusted to change the distance between the fixed plate and the movable plate.
[0012] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes connecting blocks fixedly connected to both ends of the movable plate, a connecting groove is provided on the surface of the side mounting bracket, the connecting blocks and the connecting groove are slidably connected, and a locking bolt is threaded on the top of the surface of the connecting block.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. This high-efficiency medical device drying device clamps and fixes the upper and lower ends of the tube through a clamping assembly, thereby vertically installing the tube between the fixed plate and the movable plate. The internal airflow is blown out from the air outlet and returned through the air return outlet.

A fan 7 is disposed between the air outlet 3 and the air duct 5, and the fan 7 is used to carry air... The airflow is blown out from the air outlet 3 and returned to the air return port 4. The placement component includes two side mounting brackets 11, with a mounting plate installed between them. The mounting plate is equipped with a clamping component. The bottom of the side mounting bracket 11 is movably connected to the outer casing 1 by a sliding member. The sliding member at the bottom allows the placement component to move to the outside of the outer casing 1, facilitating the insertion and removal of tubular instruments and improving convenience. The clamping component clamps and fixes both ends of the tubular instrument, keeping it vertically placed. The fan 7 drives the airflow, expelling air from the air outlet 3 and returning air to the air return port 4. The airflow flows from top to bottom, adapting to the placement of tubular instruments and improving drying efficiency.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 , Figure 5 In this embodiment, a heating tube is provided in the air outlet 3, and the heating tubes are distributed at equal intervals. A baffle plate is provided on the return air outlet 4 to prevent debris from entering the return air outlet 4. A desiccant is provided in the drying box 6, and the drying box 6 and the air duct 5 are slidably connected. The desiccant can be replaced by pulling out the drying box 6. Air flows in the air duct 5 and passes through the drying box 6 to dry the air and reduce the humidity in the air.
[0028] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6In this embodiment, the mounting plate includes a fixed plate 111 and a movable plate 112. The two ends of the fixed plate 111 are fixedly connected to the side mounting bracket 11, and the movable plate 112 and the side mounting bracket 11 are movably connected by an adjustment component. The height of the movable plate 112 can be adjusted to change the distance between the fixed plate 111 and the movable plate 112. The adjustment component includes connecting blocks 113 fixedly connected to both ends of the movable plate 112. The surface of the side mounting bracket 11 is provided with a connecting groove 114. The connecting blocks 113 and the connecting groove 114 are slidably connected. A locking bolt is threaded on the top of the surface of the connecting block 113. When the locking bolt is tightened, the connecting block 113 is fixed inside the connecting groove 114. The position of the movable plate 112 can be adjusted to change the distance between the fixed plate 111 and the movable plate 112, adapting to tubular instruments of different sizes and improving convenience.
[0029] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a clamping seat 12. The surfaces of the fixed plate 111 and the movable plate 112 are both provided with through grooves 121. The through grooves 121 are evenly distributed. The clamping seats 12 are provided at both ends of the inner side of the through grooves 121. The clamping seats 12 are designed with an arc-shaped structure. Movable grooves 122 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the through grooves 121. Movable seats 123 are slidably installed in the movable grooves 122. One end of the movable seat 123 is fixedly connected to the clamping seat 12. The other end of the movable seat 123 is movably connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 122 by a spring. The end of the tubular instrument is placed in the through groove 121. The clamping seat 12 clamps the tube. When the spring is compressed, it is convenient to clamp stably.
[0030] During operation, after opening the box door 2, the placement component can be moved to the outside of the outer box 1 via the bottom sliding component. Then, the tubular instrument is placed into the placement component, with the end of the tubular instrument placed into the through slot 121. The clamping seat 12 clamps the tube, and the elasticity of the spring achieves stable clamping. By tightening the locking bolt, the position of the movable plate 112 is fixed, and the distance between the fixed plate 111 and the movable plate 112 is changed to accommodate tubular instruments of different sizes. During drying, the fan 7 drives the air circulation, so that the air is blown out from the air outlet 3. The heating tube heats the air, and the hot air blows downward. The airflow returns through the bottom return air port 4, so that the airflow flows from top to bottom. This can simultaneously accommodate the placement of tubular instruments, making it convenient to blow and dry the inside of the tube. The air also flows in the air duct 5 and passes through the drying box 6 to dry the air and reduce the humidity in the air.
[0031] Through the above steps, the sliding component at the bottom allows the placement component to move to the outside of the outer casing 1, facilitating the insertion and removal of tubular instruments and improving convenience. The clamping component clamps and fixes both ends of the tubular instrument, keeping it vertically placed. The fan 7 drives the airflow, expelling air from the air outlet 3 and returning air through the air return port 4. The airflow flows from top to bottom, adapting to the placement of tubular instruments and improving drying efficiency, thus solving the problem of poor drying effect and efficiency of existing medical device drying devices for tubular instruments.
