Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a dryer with an air blowing function. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, medical institutions generally use dryers to dry cleaned medical devices to prevent bacterial growth.

[0003] However, existing dryers generally use thermal radiation to heat and dry instruments, and their working principle is similar to that of an oven. During operation, the instruments need to be placed inside the dryer's chamber, and the interior of the chamber is heated by heating tubes set on the top or side walls of the chamber. The moisture on the surface of the instruments is heated through heat conduction, causing the moisture to evaporate quickly. However, the internal air circulation of traditional drying chambers is usually poor, and the drying time is usually long. This is especially true for some medical instruments with complex shapes and structures, which require a long drying time to completely evaporate the moisture, resulting in low drying efficiency.

[0004] To address the problem of low drying efficiency in existing dryers, there are many improvement cases in the prior art. For example, a medical device drying box (CN106643030A) described in Chinese invention patent application provides a solution to improve the drying effect by setting heating tubes on all four sides inside the drying box and setting a heat insulation layer. The principle is to improve the internal heating speed and overall temperature of the dryer.

[0005] In addition, some dryers use hot airflow to improve the airflow inside the chamber, thereby increasing drying efficiency. For example, adding a mechanism (such as a fan) inside the chamber to agitate the airflow can improve the airflow inside the chamber. This improvement can improve the drying effect to some extent, but there is still room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides a dryer with an air blowing function, which has better drying efficiency for instruments.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a dryer with an air blowing function, including a box body, an openable door connected to the front side of the box body, and a heating tube disposed on the inner wall of the box body. An air blowing mechanism is disposed on the top inner wall of the box body. The air blowing mechanism includes multiple downward-facing airflow nozzles, an annular seat, and a drive module. The annular seat is rotatably disposed on the top inner wall of the box body. The multiple airflow nozzles are disposed at the lower end of the annular seat and are evenly distributed around the center of the annular seat. The drive module is connected and cooperates with the annular seat and is used to drive the annular seat to rotate around its center. A tray for placing instruments is disposed at the lower part of the box body, and the tray is provided with multiple drainage holes.

[0008] During use, place the instruments to be dried on the tray inside the chamber. Once the dryer is started, multiple air nozzles in the air-blowing mechanism spray air downwards, directly hitting the surface of the instruments. This effectively removes any water adhering to the surface and simultaneously accelerates the airflow around the instruments. Combined with the heating element, this increases the drying speed. Furthermore, the blown-off water falls over the tray, preventing water accumulation. Because the ring is driven to rotate by the drive module, the position of the airflow from the multiple nozzles constantly changes, resulting in better air-blowing effectiveness in hard-to-reach areas of the instruments.

[0009] Furthermore, the tray is connected to a vibration mechanism, which drives the tray to generate high-frequency vibration. When the tray generates high-frequency vibration, it also causes the instrument to vibrate, which can shake off the water attached to its surface and further improve its drying effect.

[0010] Furthermore, the tray has multiple drainage holes evenly spaced along the longitudinal and transverse directions of the tray, and multiple rubber blocks that mate with the instruments are evenly spaced along the longitudinal and transverse directions of the upper end of the tray. The multiple rubber blocks are distributed in the gaps between adjacent drainage holes. When the instruments are placed on the tray, they are contacted and limited by the multiple rubber blocks to prevent displacement. In addition, they are less likely to collide with the instruments and generate noise during vibration.

[0011] Furthermore, rubber support strips are provided on the lower part of the inner walls of the sides and rear of the box. The support strips include slots, and the sides and rear edges of the tray are inserted and positioned in the slots of the support strips. The rubber support strips have an elastic deformation effect, allowing the tray to produce a small displacement, thereby improving the vibration effect of the tray and reducing noise generation.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper part of the housing has an air chamber, the upper end of the ring seat is disposed in the air chamber, and multiple air inlets connected to airflow nozzles are evenly distributed around the upper end of the ring seat. Pressurized gas in the air chamber enters multiple airflow nozzles simultaneously through the air inlets.

[0013] Furthermore, the air blowing mechanism includes a heating module disposed in the air chamber, which can heat the gas in the air chamber, enabling the airflow nozzle to generate hot airflow, which also helps to further improve the drying effect on the instrument.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper inner side of the ring seat has an annular internal tooth portion, and the drive module includes a motor and a gear connected to the output shaft of the motor. The gear meshes with the annular internal tooth portion, and the motor drives the ring seat to rotate through the meshing of the gear and the annular internal tooth portion.

[0015] Furthermore, it includes a drawer for collecting liquid, the drawer being pull-out and inserted into the box body and located below the tray, and the drawer can be disassembled by opening the box door when it is necessary to disassemble or install it.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: compared with the prior art, the dryer with air blowing function of this utility model can improve the drying efficiency of instruments by combining the air blowing mechanism with the heating tube. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Examples of the implementation of this utility model of a dryer with air blowing function Figure 1-5 As shown: The enclosure includes a housing 1, an openable door 2 connected to the front of the housing 1, and a heating pipe 3 mounted on the inner wall of the housing 1. An air-blowing mechanism is installed on the top inner wall of the housing 1. This mechanism includes multiple downward-facing airflow nozzles 41, an annular seat 42, and a drive module. The seat 42 is rotatably mounted on the top plate 11 of the housing 1. Specifically, the top plate 11 has a circular hole, and the outer periphery of the seat 42 is rotatably connected to the inner edge of the circular hole. The top plate 11 includes a circular plate 111 located within the inner hole of the seat 42. An air chamber for airflow is located above the top plate 11. The top of the air chamber and the circular plate 11... The circular plate 111 is connected by a support rib 112 to hold the circular plate 111 at the lower end of the inner hole of the ring seat 42. Multiple airflow nozzles 41 are arranged at the lower end of the ring seat 42 and are evenly distributed around the center of the ring seat 42. The upper end of the ring seat 42 is located in the air chamber. Multiple air inlets 421 connected to the airflow nozzles 41 are evenly distributed around the upper end of the ring seat 42. Pressurized gas in the air chamber enters the multiple airflow nozzles 41 through the air inlets and is sprayed downward. An air pump for supplying air is connected between the air chamber and the outside. The air pump delivers outside air into the air chamber. The heating tube 3 is embedded in the groove of the side plate 12 of the box body 1.

[0023] The drive module is connected and cooperates with the ring seat 42 and is used to drive the ring seat 42 to rotate around its center. The upper inner side of the ring seat 42 has an annular internal tooth portion 422. The drive module includes a motor 71 and a gear 72 connected to the output shaft of the motor 71. The gear 72 and the annular internal tooth portion 422 mesh with each other. The motor drives the ring seat 42 to rotate through the meshing of the gear 72 and the annular internal tooth portion 422. The diameter and number of teeth of the annular internal tooth portion 422 are both larger than those of the gear 72, which can reduce the rotational speed of the ring seat 42.

[0024] The air blowing mechanism includes a heating module installed in the air chamber. The heating module can also be an S-shaped heating tube. The heating module can heat the gas in the air chamber, so that the airflow nozzle 41 can generate hot airflow, which is also conducive to further improving the drying effect on the instrument.

[0025] The lower part of the inside of the box 1 is provided with a tray 5 for placing instruments, and the tray 5 is provided with multiple drainage holes 51.

[0026] In use, place the instruments to be dried on the tray 5 inside the housing 1. The dryer is then started, and multiple airflow nozzles 41 of the air-blowing mechanism spray air downwards. This airflow directly hits the surface of the instruments, directly blowing away any water adhering to the surface and simultaneously accelerating the airflow around the instruments. In conjunction with the heating element 3, this improves the drying speed. Furthermore, the blown-off water falls through the tray 5, preventing water accumulation. Because the ring base 42 is driven to rotate by the drive module, the position of the airflow generated by the multiple airflow nozzles 41 continuously changes, resulting in better air-blowing effects even in hard-to-reach areas of the instruments.

[0027] The tray 5 is connected to a vibration mechanism (not shown in the figure). The vibration mechanism is used to drive the tray 5 to generate high-frequency vibration. The vibration mechanism may include a vibration motor connected to the bottom or edge of the tray. When the tray 5 generates high-frequency vibration, it will also drive the instrument to vibrate, which can promote the shaking off of water attached to its surface and further improve its drying effect.

[0028] The tray 5 has multiple drainage holes 51 evenly spaced along the longitudinal and transverse directions to improve drainage. The upper end of the tray 5 has multiple rubber blocks 52 that come into contact with the instruments. The multiple rubber blocks 52 are distributed in the gaps between adjacent drainage holes 51. When the instruments are placed on the tray 5, they come into contact with the instruments through the multiple rubber blocks 52. The friction between the rubber blocks and the instruments and the limiting contact prevent displacement. In addition, due to the softness of the rubber material, it is not easy for the instruments to collide and generate noise during vibration.

[0029] Rubber support strips 6 are provided on the lower part of the inner walls of the sides and rear of the box 1. The support strips 6 include slots. The sides and rear edges of the tray 5 are inserted and positioned in the slots of the support strips 6. The rubber support strips 6 have an elastic deformation effect, allowing the tray 5 to make a small displacement, thereby improving the vibration effect of the tray 5 and reducing noise generation. Rubber strips are also provided at the corresponding positions of the box door for abutting and cooperating with the front edge of the tray 5 to reduce noise generation.

[0030] The end of the airflow nozzle 41 preferably includes a tapered annular jet nozzle, which can present an umbrella-shaped airflow jet effect, improve the coverage of the inside of the box 1, and can blow air on multiple instruments at the same time, thereby improving the drying efficiency of multiple instruments.

[0031] The housing 1 is also equipped with a drawer 8 for collecting liquid water. The drawer 8 is pull-out and inserted into the housing 1 and is located below the tray 5 (e.g., Figure 3 As shown, when the drawer needs to be disassembled, it can be done by opening the cabinet door 2. The water blown down by the airflow can drip through the drain hole 51 of the tray 5 into the drawer 8 for collection, making it easy to clean.

[0032] In addition to the features mentioned above, the enclosure 1 is also equipped with a display screen 21 for displaying the internal temperature of the enclosure 1; in order to avoid increasing the internal pressure of the enclosure 1 and to improve the internal airflow effect, an exhaust vent is also provided on the enclosure 1, preferably at the top.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely one preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Ordinary changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model's technical solution are all included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
