Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] Example 1. A multifunctional dental instrument sterilization box, structural reference. Figure 1 As shown, the box includes a box body 1 and a box lid 2. The rear sides of the box body 1 and the box lid 2 are rotatably connected by hinges 3, and the front sides are movably connected by latches 4. The box body 1 is rectangular, and support blocks 11 are provided at the four corners of the box opening. The support blocks 11 are provided with grooves 12, and brackets 6 are provided in the four grooves 12. The brackets 6 include an outer frame 61. The interior of the outer frame 61 is divided into multiple placement openings 64 by several horizontal bars 62 and vertical bars 63. Each placement opening 64 is equipped with a sieve frame 7. The bottom of the two vertical bars 63 is provided with sliding blocks 8. The two vertical bars 63 are provided with two notches 16 at the front position of the box body 1. The two sliding blocks 8 are provided with U-shaped handles 5. The two vertical bars of the handles 5 pass through the two notches 16 respectively, and the horizontal bars are located on the outside of the box body 1.

[0032] The aforementioned latch 4 adopts an existing push-button type latch, which is divided into a male connector assembly and a female connector assembly. The two are respectively installed on the front side of the box body 1 and the box cover 2. After the male connector is inserted into the female connector, the latch can be fastened. Pressing the button on the female connector can separate the male connector and the female connector.

[0033] Most existing disinfection boxes have separate boxes and lids. This disinfection box has a box body 1 and a lid 2 connected by a hinge 3, which makes it easy to open and close and prevents the lid from being lost. When closed, it can reduce the evaporation of multi-enzyme solution into the air to meet infection control requirements.

[0034] The support block 11 is used to place the bracket 6, specifically through the right-angled groove 12 on it. The four corners of the bracket 6 are placed in the corresponding grooves 12 to complete the stable placement of the bracket 6.

[0035] The outer frame 61 is rectangular, and its interior is divided into multiple placement openings 64 by several horizontal bars 62 and vertical bars 63. This design allows for the selection of the appropriate number and size of placement openings 64 according to actual needs. Preferably, this sterilization box has six small openings on the left and one large opening on the right. Each placement opening 64 is equipped with a strainer 7. During use, instruments are sorted according to their quantity and size and placed into the appropriate strainer 7 to avoid confusion.

[0036] The handle 5 can slide within the slide block 8. Reference image showing the handle 5 fully inserted into the slide block 8. Figure 1 As shown, the state after handle 5 is pulled out is referenced. Figure 4 As shown. The purpose of the handle 5 is to facilitate the removal of the entire bracket 6 and the drain frame 7 on it at once, making it convenient to clean the inside of the box 1. The handle 5 is telescopic for ease of use. Retracting the handle 5 into the slide block 8 reduces the volume of the entire disinfection box, making it easier to place the disinfection box into the ultrasonic cleaner. Pulling out the handle 5 increases the gripping area, making it more convenient to use.

[0037] The sliding block 8 has guide grooves 81 on both sides; the handle 5 has guide limit blocks 51 on both sides of its two vertical rods. (Structural reference) Figure 1-2 As shown, the handle 5 is set in the guide groove 81 by the guide limit block 51. The handle 5 can slide in the guide groove 81 by the guide limit block 51, and the guide limit block 51 will not slide out of the guide groove 81, thereby preventing the handle 5 from falling out of the box 2.

[0038] A placement ear 71 is provided on the top outer side of the slot frame 7. (Structural reference) Figure 3 As shown, placing the ear 71 facilitates the placement of the slot frame 7 on the support 6.

[0039] When disinfecting small instruments for endodontics using the aforementioned disinfection box, a multi-enzyme soaking solution is added to the box. Staff directly place the used instruments, categorized by type, into their corresponding slots 7, ensuring thorough immersion in the multi-enzyme soaking solution at the bottom. The disinfection box is then placed in a rinsing machine for rinsing. After rinsing, the handle 5 is used to drain the instruments along with the support 6 and slots 7 in a non-contact manner, avoiding occupational exposure. The multi-enzyme soaking solution is then poured out, and the support 6 and slots 7 are returned to the box. Finally, the box is sealed with the locking mechanism 4 and transported to the supply room for disinfection. After disinfection, medical staff can directly pour out the required type of small instruments through each slot 7, eliminating the need for re-sorting and saving time compared to traditional methods that require categorizing instruments after disinfection.

[0040] Example 2. A multifunctional dental instrument sterilization box, structural reference. Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment is based on embodiment 1. In addition to including all the structures of embodiment 1, a horizontal strip 72 is provided on the top inner side of the slot frame 7.

[0041] This disinfection box is easier to remove and place into the slot frame 7 via the horizontal bar 72.

[0042] Example 3. A multifunctional dental instrument sterilization box, structural reference. Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment is based on embodiment 2. In addition to including all the structures of embodiment 2, a transparent label plate 15 is provided on the front side of the box 1. The transparent label plate 15 is provided with water filling line markings, including the highest water filling line, the standard water filling line and the lowest water filling line.

[0043] This disinfection box, with its transparent label 15 and water level markings, allows staff to better control the amount of multi-enzyme soaking solution used inside.

[0044] Example 4. A multifunctional dental instrument sterilization box, structural reference. Figure 6-7 As shown, this embodiment is based on embodiment 3. In addition to including all the structures of embodiment 3, the bottom of the box body 1 is provided with a drain outlet 13, and a drain cover 14 is threadedly connected to the drain outlet 13.

[0045] When dispensing liquid from existing sterilization boxes, a tool (such as tweezers) is used to block one corner of the sterilization box to prevent instruments from falling out before dispensing. This process results in incomplete liquid dispensing (some liquid is easily left over at the end). In addition, due to contact between the tool and the instruments, the risk of occupational exposure is relatively high when changing to a smaller instrument box (suitable for the size of the washing machine).

[0046] During use, if you need to replace or empty the liquid in this disinfection box, simply open the drain cap 14 to drain the liquid from the drain port 13. After draining, tighten the drain cap 14 to refill the disinfection box for reuse.

[0047] Example 5. A multifunctional dental instrument sterilization box, structural reference. Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment is based on embodiment 4, and further, the placement port 64 is replaced with a form of 9 small compartments on the left and 2 large compartments on the right to better accommodate the types and quantities of instruments.

[0048] An indicator label 21 is provided on the inside of the box cover 2. The content of the indicator label 21 corresponds to the placement port 64. The indicator label 21 shows the type of instrument that should be placed in each placement port 64, which is used to guide interns who are not familiar with instrument classification.

[0049] Example 6. A multifunctional dental instrument sterilization box, structural reference. Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment is based on embodiment 5.

[0050] The rear side of the lid 2 is connected to a flip-top limiting block 22. By setting the flip-top limiting block 22, the lid 2 can be limited to a certain opening angle after it is opened. Preferably, this angle is 120-150°. This angle is convenient for displaying the indicator label 21, so that users can check the corresponding operation of the indicator label 21 in real time during use, thereby improving the efficiency of instrument classification.

[0051] The above-mentioned disinfection box is pre-set to the size suitable for the washing machine. When disinfecting small instruments in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the staff opens the box lid 2 through the latch 4 until the flip-top limit block 22 is against the box body 1. According to the water line marking, an appropriate amount of multi-enzyme soaking solution is added. According to the instruction label 21, the used small instruments are classified and placed into the corresponding drain frame 7 to fully soak in the multi-enzyme soaking solution at the bottom. Then, the disinfection box is placed into the washing machine for washing. After washing, the soaking solution is drained through the drain outlet 13 and drain cover 14 in a way that does not involve occupational exposure. After that, the disinfection box is transported to the supply room for normal disinfection.

[0052] Example 7. A multifunctional dental instrument sterilization box. This example is based on Example 6, and the structure is referenced. Figure 10 As shown.

[0053] Since the top of the filter basket 7 has no lid, if the disinfection box is shaken too violently or falls to the ground and rolls during the transportation of the disinfection box to the supply room, the small instruments that have been sorted in each filter basket 7 may become disordered.

[0054] Therefore, a baffle 23 is provided on the inner side of the box cover 2. When the box cover 2 is closed, the baffle 23 can cover the top of all the slot frames 7, which can prevent small instruments from falling out from the top of the slot frames 7, thereby avoiding the above-mentioned problems.

[0055] The baffle 23 is part of the box cover 2. After the baffle 23 is set, the indicator label 21 can be appropriately set on the baffle 23.

[0056] Example 8. A multifunctional dental instrument sterilization box. This example is based on Example 7, and the structure is referenced. Figure 11 As shown.

[0057] The existing small metal sterilization box has holes on both sides to accommodate the use of pressurized steam sterilization.

[0058] This disinfection box also retains the design of holes. Several holes 17 are provided on the top of the left and right sides of the box body 1 to accommodate commonly used pressure steam disinfection methods.

[0059] The purpose of placing holes 17 on both sides of the top of the box body 1 is to prevent the multi-enzyme soaking solution from being splashed out of the holes 17 during the rinsing process.

[0060] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
