Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of eyewash technology, and in particular to an adjustable eyewash device. Background Technology

[0002] When toxic or harmful substances (such as chemical liquids) splash into the eyes, eye washing is performed to reduce the harm to the body and minimize the damage. However, the eyewash station currently in use has exposed flushing pipes when not in use, which allows external impurities to easily enter the flushing pipes. This can cause damage to the patient's eyes when the equipment is reused. Utility Model Content

[0003] To at least partially solve the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an adjustable eyewash station.

[0004] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0005] An adjustable eyewash station includes a stainless steel collection basin with a water inlet pipe connected to it. A valve is connected to the water inlet pipe, and an eyewash tube is connected to the outlet of the water inlet pipe. A filter screen is fixedly connected inside the eyewash tube, and a sealing cover is slidably connected inside the eyewash tube. The surface of the sealing cover contacts the surface of the filter screen. A drain outlet is provided inside the stainless steel collection basin, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drain outlet.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above solution, a foreign object filter screen is provided at the drain outlet. A rotating column is connected to the bottom of the stainless steel collection basin, and a garbage collection box is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating column. A limit block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the stainless steel collection basin. The rotating column and the bottom of the stainless steel collection basin are installed by threads.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, the sealing cover is fitted to the lower surface of the filter screen. A guide ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the stainless steel collection basin. The eyewash tubes are symmetrically distributed on both sides, with two eyewash tubes symmetrically distributed on both sides.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0009] This invention uses a rotating valve to control the water flow into the eyewash tube via the inlet pipe. The sealing cover is then slid out from inside the eyewash tube, allowing the water to pass through a filter screen before cleaning the patient's eyes. This reduces the risk of external impurities entering the eyewash tube when the device is not in use for extended periods, thus ensuring the safety of the device during future use and minimizing potential harm to the patient's eyes.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0018] Example:

[0019] Please combine Figure 1-5 An adjustable eyewash station according to this embodiment includes a stainless steel collection basin 1. A guide ring 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the stainless steel collection basin 1. A water inlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected inside the stainless steel collection basin 1. A valve 4 is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe 3. An eyewash tube 5 is fixedly connected to the outlet of the water inlet pipe 3. A filter screen 6 is fixedly connected inside the eyewash tube 5. A sealing cover 7 is slidably connected inside the eyewash tube 5. A rotating column 8 is connected to the bottom of the stainless steel collection basin 1. A garbage collection box 9 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating column 8. A limit block 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the stainless steel collection basin 1. A drain outlet 11 is opened inside the stainless steel collection basin 1. A foreign matter filter screen is provided at the drain outlet 11. A drain pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drain outlet 11.

[0020] The adjustable eyewash station controls the water flow by rotating valve 4. When the water enters the eyewash tube 5 through the inlet pipe 3, the sealing cover 7 is pulled out from inside the eyewash tube 5 (the sealing cover 7 does not detach from the eyewash tube 5). This allows the water to pass through the filter screen 6 first to clean the patient's eyes. This reduces the risk of external impurities entering the eyewash tube 5 when the equipment is not used for a long time, thus affecting the safety of the equipment for the next use and reducing harm to the patient's eyes.

[0021] The filter 6 removes impurities that may be present in the water, preventing secondary damage to the eyes during rinsing and ensuring the cleanliness of the water used for eye washing, thus improving the safety of eye rinsing. The eyewash tubes 5 and the two filters 6 are symmetrically distributed on both sides. This symmetrical layout allows for more comprehensive filtration of the water flow, ensuring that the water flowing from the eyewash tubes 5 remains clean in all directions.

[0022] The surface of the sealing cover 7 is in contact with the surface of the filter screen 6, that is, the sealing cover 7 is set to fit the lower surface of the filter screen 6. After long-term use, some impurities will adhere to the filter screen 6. The impurities on the upper surface of the filter screen 6 can be cleaned with a brush. When the sealing cover 7 is pulled back and forth, the friction of the sealing cover 7 will wipe away the impurities on the lower surface of the filter screen 6, thereby preventing the accumulation of impurities on the lower surface of the filter screen 6. The sealing cover 7 plays the role of opening and closing and cleaning.

[0023] During the eye washing process, some foreign objects may enter the stainless steel collection basin 1 with the water flow and accumulate at the foreign object filter at the drain outlet 11. The garbage collection box 9 can conveniently collect these foreign objects and prevent them from clogging the drain outlet 11 or the drain pipe 12.

[0024] The rotating column 8 is designed to facilitate the disassembly and cleaning of the waste collection box 9, maintaining the effectiveness of the waste collection function. Specifically, the rotating column 8 is threaded to the bottom of the stainless steel collection basin 1, allowing it to be tightened and loosened as needed. Figure 2 The rotating column 8 has a circular enlarged section at its bottom, and the garbage collection box 9 has a circular through hole. The part of the rotating column 8 above the enlarged section passes through the hole in the garbage collection box 9 and is installed at the bottom of the stainless steel collection basin 1. The hole in the garbage collection box 9 is slightly larger than the part of the rotating column 8 above the enlarged section, so the garbage collection box 9 can be rotated. The garbage collection box 9 is also equipped with a handle for easy operation.

[0025] The limiting block 10 can limit the movement of components such as the waste collection box 9, preventing the waste collection box 9 from excessive displacement or falling off during use, thus ensuring the stability of the entire eyewash station structure.

[0026] In this embodiment, there are two rotating columns 8 and two garbage collection boxes 9, which are symmetrically distributed around the stainless steel collection basin 1. There are also two limiting blocks 10, which are symmetrically distributed around the stainless steel collection basin 1. Additionally, there are two drain outlets 11 and two drain pipes 12, which are symmetrically distributed around the stainless steel collection basin 1.

[0027] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
