[0025] See attached document Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a sterilization rack for medical devices, including a lifting rod 101, a platform 102, a fan 103, an air duct 104, and a sterilization basket 106. The lifting rod 101 is integrally formed at the center of the top surface of the platform 102, allowing for easy placement of the entire sterilization rack into the sterilization tank for immersion sterilization of surgical instruments during sterilization. The fan 103 is bolted to the top surface of the platform 102. A wiring hole extends from the top to the bottom surface of the platform 102, and the air duct 104 is connected to the air outlet of the fan 103 and fixed to the bottom surface of the platform 102 through the wiring hole. The sterilization basket 106 is disposed on the bottom surface of the platform 102, with the air outlet of the air duct 104 facing the sterilization basket 106.
[0026] Currently, for traditional immersion-based surgical instrument sterilization, the sterilization rack is usually removed after the surgical instruments are sterilized to allow the disinfectant solution to drain naturally. The urgent problem to be solved is how to quickly drain the disinfectant solution, thereby shortening the working time and improving work efficiency.
[0027] Therefore, in this embodiment, by setting a fan 103 on the top surface of the platform 102 and setting an air duct 104 on the bottom surface of the plane, with the air duct 104 connected to the fan 103, after soaking and disinfection, the disinfection basket 106 is lifted out of the disinfection pool by holding the lifting rod 101, and the fan 103 is used to send air from the air duct 104 to quickly remove the moisture from the surface of the surgical instruments, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly draining the disinfectant, shortening the working time and improving the working efficiency.
[0028] It should be noted that since the fan 103 is existing technology, its specific structure will not be described in detail here. For reference, the fan 103 can be a Jinghang Electric model 1010# blower with a power of 700w and a speed of up to 13000 rpm.
[0029] In the above embodiments, since the disinfection basket 106 needs to be repeatedly fixed to and removed from the platform 102, in order to avoid damage to the air duct 104 during the installation and removal of the disinfection basket 106, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom surface of the platform 102 has a pre-fabricated groove, and the air duct 104 is installed in the groove. It is easy to imagine that after the air duct 104 is installed in the groove, the air duct 104 is hidden and will not protrude from the bottom surface of the platform 102. This can avoid scratching the air duct 104 during the installation of the disinfection basket 106 and increase the safety of the disinfection rack during use.
[0030] Of course, in order to fix the disinfection basket 106 to the bottom of the platform 102, such as Figure 2 As shown, several U-shaped hooks 105 are integrally formed in the recessed groove of the platform 102. The air duct 104 is supported by the U-shaped hooks 105 and hung in the recessed groove on the bottom surface of the platform 102, thereby completing the concealed installation of the air duct 104 and avoiding scratching the air duct 104 during the installation of the detoxification basket 106.
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air duct 104 is arranged in an S-shape on the bottom surface of the platform 102, and the end of the air duct 104 away from the fan 103 is a closed design. Several air outlets are evenly arranged along the air duct 104 towards the side away from the bottom surface of the platform 102, and the air outlets blow air towards the disinfection basket 106.
[0032] In the above embodiments, it is easy to imagine that by arranging the air duct 104 in an S-shape on the bottom surface of the platform 102, after the disinfection basket 106 is fixed to the platform 102, the S-shaped air duct 104 can cover a large air outlet range, thereby forming a large-area air drying effect on the disinfection basket 106 and avoiding the problem of poor drying effect caused by local air outlet.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the disinfection basket 106 is suspended from the platform 102 by fasteners. It is conceivable that in this embodiment, suspending the disinfection basket 106 from the platform 102 by fasteners facilitates fixing the disinfection basket 106 to the platform 102 during disinfection and also facilitates removing the disinfection basket 106 from the platform 102 after disinfection, thereby improving ease of use.
[0034] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fastener includes a latch 108 and a hook 109. The latch 108 is disposed on two opposite outer surfaces of the platform 102 and is integrally formed with the platform 102. The hook 109 is disposed on two opposite outer surfaces of the disinfection basket 106. One end of the hook 109 is a ring portion that is rotatably connected to the disinfection basket 106. The other end of the hook 109 is a bent hook portion that is used to hang on the latch 108.
[0035] In the above embodiments, it is easy to see that by setting buckles 108 on two opposite outer surfaces of the platform 102 and hooks 109 on two opposite outer surfaces of the disinfection basket 106, when the disinfection basket 106 needs to be fixed on the platform 102 during disinfection, medical staff can hold the hooks 109 by hand, hang one side of the hook 109 on the buckle 108, and then hang the other end of the hook 109 on the buckle 108, thereby quickly fixing the disinfection basket 106 on the platform 102. After disinfection is completed, the hooks 109 can be removed from the buckle 108, and the disinfection basket 106 can be quickly removed from the platform 102, thereby improving the convenience of loading and unloading the disinfection basket 106.
[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the disinfection basket 106 is divided into multiple storage areas by multiple grid plates 107, and the grid plates 107 and the disinfection basket 106 are integrally formed.
[0037] As can be easily understood in the above embodiments, by setting the grid plate 107 to divide the sterilization basket 106 into multiple storage areas, surgical instruments can be classified and placed. After sterilization, there is no need to classify the surgical instruments again. The storage and classification of sterilized surgical instruments can be completed quickly, thereby effectively shortening the working time and improving work efficiency.
[0038] As can be imagined, when surgical instruments are immersed in disinfection, after disinfection is completed, the disinfection net containing the surgical instruments is usually lifted out of the disinfection pool manually, which is quite laborious.
[0039] Therefore, in one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown in the embodiment of this application, a sterilization rack for medical devices also includes a lifting mechanism 110. A connecting bushing is installed at the top of the lifting mechanism 110, and a horizontal bar 111 is arranged on the connecting bushing. The horizontal bar 111 is integrally formed with the connecting bushing, and a lifting rod 101 is vertically fixed to the end of the horizontal bar 111.
[0040] It is easy to understand that by setting up the lifting mechanism 110, the disinfection basket 106 can be raised and lowered. When disinfection is required, the disinfection basket 106 is fastened to the buckle 108 by the hook 109 and suspended on the platform 102. The lifting mechanism 110 can be used to lower the disinfection basket 106 into the disinfection pool. After disinfection is completed, the lifting mechanism 110 lifts the disinfection basket 106 out of the disinfection pool and maintains the height of the disinfection basket 106 to drain the disinfectant. This eliminates the need for medical staff to manually lift the disinfection basket 106 out of the disinfection pool or manually lift the disinfection basket 106 to drain the disinfectant, which saves a lot of effort and greatly reduces the workload of medical staff.
[0041] Of course, in the above embodiments, it is best to use a conventional electric push rod for the lifting mechanism 110. Alternatively, a telescopic device such as an electric cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or pneumatic cylinder, which is slightly more expensive, can also be used.
[0042] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 110 is fixed on a base 112, the base 112 is provided with a plurality of holes, and a counterweight 113 is provided in the holes.
[0043] Understandably, during soaking, the lifting mechanism 110 and the disinfection basket 106 are placed on one side of the disinfection pool via the base 112. After soaking and disinfection, the disinfection basket 106 is lifted, which will increase the weight of the entire disinfection rack to a certain extent. By inserting the counterweight 113 into the insertion hole, the weight of the entire disinfection rack is increased to prevent the disinfection rack from tipping over. Furthermore, since the counterweight 113 can be removed from the insertion hole, it can be removed when moving the disinfection rack to reduce the weight of the entire disinfection rack and facilitate its movement.
[0044] In summary, the medical device sterilization rack provided in this application includes a lifting rod with a platform on it. A fan is mounted on the top surface of the platform, and an air duct is mounted on the bottom surface of the platform. The air duct is connected to the air outlet of the fan. A sterilization basket is mounted on one side of the platform near the air duct. By fixing the sterilization basket to the platform and utilizing the fan and air duct on the platform, after sterilization is completed and the sterilization basket is lifted, air can be delivered from the air duct using the fan. This airflow accelerates the rapid drying of residual disinfectant on the surface of surgical instruments, thereby shortening working time and effectively improving work efficiency.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
