Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a disposable thermometer soaking device. Background Technology

[0002] Patients with multidrug-resistant bacterial infections need to be isolated from contact, and the medical devices used on them need to be for individual use only. Currently, there are no thermometer soaking boxes available for individual use by patients with multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

[0003] One existing technology involves a capsule-shaped medical mercury thermometer box. Its unique feature is the addition of a medicine capsule to the box cap. This capsule contains a substance that reacts chemically with mercury to produce a non-toxic or low-toxicity product. In the event of mercury spillage, opening the capsule and sprinkling the medicine onto the collected mercury maximizes the protection of human health and the environment.

[0004] However, the aforementioned capsule-shaped medical mercury thermometer box is mainly intended to avoid safety hazards to the human body and the environment caused by the breakage of the mercury thermometer. It has not effectively solved the problem of contact isolation for patients with multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

[0005] Currently, the disinfection of medical devices for patients is primarily performed by medical staff. They typically place multiple thermometers intended for different patients in a metal tray filled with alcohol, ensuring the thermometers are completely submerged. Tweezers are then used to remove the thermometers for disinfection. However, because multiple thermometers are placed in the same tray, incomplete disinfection can easily lead to cross-infection. To achieve effective disinfection and isolation, clinical staff often modify existing medical facilities into individual thermometer immersion devices for patients with multidrug-resistant bacteria. Furthermore, due to the high frequency of thermometer use, some patients with multidrug-resistant bacteria infections or their families may use the individual thermometers placed beside the patient's bedside. These devices often directly use the existing, custom-made thermometers intended for patients with multidrug-resistant bacteria infections. While the thermometer heads and bottoms are submerged in alcohol, the ends are exposed to air. Repeated direct use of these thermometers violates disinfection and isolation principles and easily leads to cross-infection. Utility Model Content

[0016] Functions and effects of utility models

[0017] According to the disposable thermometer immersion device involved in this utility model, by setting up a thermometer box, the thermometer can be completely submerged. The thermometer box can only hold one thermometer at a time, which can effectively avoid cross-infection during the disinfection process and facilitate the individual storage and use of patients with multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. At the same time, through the setting of the first cover, the second cover and the rubber part, the thermometer must be removed by pressing the rubber part during the removal process.

[0020] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easy to understand, the following embodiments, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will specifically describe the disposable thermometer immersion device of this utility model.

[0022] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the disposable thermometer soaking device in an embodiment of this utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the disposable thermometer 11 immersion device 100 in this embodiment includes: thermometer box 10, first cover 20 and second cover 30.

[0024] The thermometer case 10 is used to hold alcohol and soak the thermometer 11. The bottom center of the thermometer case 10 is made of rubber, referred to as the rubber part 12, for pushing the thermometer 11 upward.

[0025] The first cover 20 is placed on the thermometer box 10 and is threadedly connected to the thermometer box 10. It is used to pour alcohol into the thermometer box 10 after opening. The first cover 20 is provided with a hole 21 for the thermometer 11 to pass through.

[0026] The second cover 30 is placed on top of the first cover 20, snaps together with the first cover 20, and covers the hole 21 for opening and removing the thermometer 11. In this embodiment, the second cover 30 is connected to the thermometer box 10 via a connector 15.

[0027] The thermometer box 10 has a limiting ring 13 inside, which corresponds to the position of the hole 21 and is used to limit the position of the thermometer 11, so that the thermometer 11 can be pushed upward through the hole 21.

[0028] The limiting ring 13 is fixedly connected to the thermometer box 10 through the limiting rod 14. In this embodiment, there are two limiting rods 14.

[0029] How to use:

[0030] The user unscrews the first cover 20, pours alcohol into the thermometer box 10, and then places the thermometer 11 into the thermometer box 10, passing it through the limiting ring 13. The alcohol poured into the thermometer box 10 can submerge the thermometer 11, and the liquid level is slightly lower than the opening of the thermometer box 10 to prevent alcohol from overflowing when the rubber part is pushed upwards later.

[0031] When in use, pull out the second cover 30 and push the rubber part 12 at the bottom center of the thermometer box 10 upward until the thermometer 11 extends upward through the hole 21 and out of the first cover 20, making it easy for the user to take it out.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the disposable thermometer soaking device in Embodiment 2 of this utility model.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, compared with Embodiment 1, in the disposable thermometer soaking device 100' of this embodiment, the first cover 20 and the second cover 30 are both connected to the thermometer box 10 through the connector 15', and there are two limiting rods 14' and limiting rings 13'.

[0035] For ease of explanation, the same symbols are used for structures identical to those in Embodiment 1, and the same descriptions are omitted in this embodiment.

[0036] The role and effect of the embodiments

[0037] According to the disposable thermometer soaking device involved in this utility model, by setting up a thermometer box, the thermometer can be completely submerged. The thermometer box can only hold one thermometer at a time, which can effectively avoid cross-infection. At the same time, through the setting of the first cover, the second cover and the rubber part, the thermometer must be removed by pressing the rubber part during the removal process, avoiding improper operation and direct insertion of hands into the alcohol, which would cause contamination. This makes it easier for patients with multidrug-resistant bacterial infections to disinfect themselves, avoid cross-infection, and improve the efficiency of use.

[0038] This invention connects the first and second covers to the thermometer box by setting a connector, which can effectively prevent the first and second covers from being lost.

[0039] This invention, through the setting of a limiting ring and a limiting rod, allows the thermometer to be positioned corresponding to the hole, making it easy for the user to push the thermometer upward through the rubber part.

[0040] Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
