[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a precision instrument drain rack for a hospital sterilization supply room, comprising:

[0019] The drain basket 1 has a lifting device 2 fixedly connected to its outer wall. The lifting device 2 lifts the rubber pad by pressing. The lifting device 2 includes a rotating device 3, which slides at the bottom of the rubber pad. The rubber pad in the drain basket 1 is lifted by the lifting device to drain water. The rotating device 3 lifts the pad from multiple directions to prevent water from accumulating on the rubber pad.

[0020] The lifting device 2 includes a lever 20, with a lever 21 fixedly connected to the side wall of the lever 20. The lever 21 is L-shaped, and its outer wall is slidably connected to the top of the drain basket 1 and the bottom of the rubber pad. A compression spring 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lever 20, and a fixing plate 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the compression spring 22. The side wall of the fixing plate 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drain basket 1. When medical staff use this precision instrument drain rack in the hospital's sterilization supply room, if they need to retrieve or place precision instruments, it will affect the lifting device. When the lever 20 is pressed, the bottom end of the lever 20 is fixedly connected to the compression spring 22, and the bottom end of the compression spring 22 is connected to the fixed plate 23. The fixed plate 23 is fixed to the outer wall of the drain basket 1. When the lever 20 is pressed, the compression spring 22 is compressed, and the lever 20 moves downward. The L-shaped lever 21 fixed to the side wall of the lever 20 slides with the top end of the drain basket 1 and the bottom end of the rubber pad. As the lever 20 moves downward, the lever 21 lifts the rubber pad during the sliding process, which makes it convenient to take out and place precision instruments.

[0021] The rotating device 3 includes a column 30, a ball joint 31 fixedly connected to the top of the column 30, and a bottom end of the column 30 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 23. The ball joint 31 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the lever plate 20 through a sliding groove, and the sliding groove is opened in the wall of the lever plate 20.

[0022] During use, the rubber pad in the drain basket 1 is lifted by the lifting device to drain water. The rotating device 3 lifts the rubber pad from multiple directions to prevent water from accumulating on it. After the lifting device lifts the rubber pad, the bottom of the column 30 of the rotating device 3 is fixed to the fixed plate 23. The ball joint 31 at the top is rotatably connected through a groove in the wall of the lever 20. During the process of pressing the lever 20 to lift the rubber pad, medical staff can rotate the lever 20 according to the distribution of water in the rubber pad, so that the ball joint 31 can rotate flexibly in the groove, driving the lever 21 to change the direction of lifting the rubber pad. In this way, the rubber pad can be lifted from all directions, preventing water from accumulating in corners and ensuring that the water on the rubber pad can be drained smoothly, ensuring the efficient drainage function of the drain rack. At the same time, it can also prevent water accumulation from breeding bacteria and affecting the storage environment of precision instruments.

[0023] First, when medical staff use the precision instrument drain rack in the hospital's sterilization supply room, they will press the lever 20 of the lifting device 2 if they need to take or place precision instruments. Since the bottom end of the lever 20 is fixedly connected to the compression spring 22, and the bottom end of the compression spring 22 is connected to the fixed plate 23, and the fixed plate 23 is fixed to the outer wall of the drain basket 1, when the lever 20 is pressed, the compression spring 22 is compressed, and the lever 20 moves downward. The L-shaped lever 21 fixed to the side wall of the lever 20 slides with the top end of the drain basket 1 and the bottom end of the rubber pad. As the lever 20 moves downward, the lever 21 lifts the rubber pad during the sliding process, making it convenient to take and place precision instruments.

[0024] After taking or placing the item, release the pressure on the lever 20. The spring 22, due to its elastic deformation, generates a restoring force that pushes the lever 20 upward to reset. The lever 21 then moves the rubber pad back to its original position, maintaining the stability of the drain rack structure and preventing damage or displacement of the rubber pad.

[0025] After the lifting device lifts the rubber pad, the bottom end of the column 30 of the rotating device 3 is fixed to the fixed plate 23, and the ball joint 31 at the top is rotatably connected through the groove opened in the wall of the lever 20. During the process of pressing the lever 20 to lift the rubber pad, medical staff can rotate the lever 20 according to the distribution of water in the rubber pad, so that the ball joint 31 can rotate flexibly in the groove, driving the lever 21 to change the position of lifting the rubber pad. In this way, the rubber pad can be lifted in all directions, avoiding water accumulation in the corners, ensuring that the water on the rubber pad can be drained smoothly, ensuring the efficient water-draining function of the drain rack, and also preventing water accumulation from breeding bacteria and affecting the storage environment of precision instruments.
