Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat dissipation devices, and in particular to an auxiliary heat dissipation device for a pressure sterilizer. Background Technology
[0002] Pressure autoclaves, also known as steam sterilizers, are available in both portable and vertical models for laboratory use. They utilize heating elements to heat water and generate steam, maintaining a constant pressure. A typical pressure autoclave consists of a sealable container, pressure gauge, exhaust valve, safety valve, and heating elements. Suitable for use in medical, research, and agricultural settings, it is ideal for sterilizing medical devices, dressings, glassware, and culture media.
[0003] Conventional pressure sterilizers primarily rely on natural cooling and simple fan cooling for heat dissipation. Natural cooling depends on natural air convection, resulting in extremely low heat dissipation efficiency, which is insufficient for continuous sterilization operations. While simple fan cooling accelerates airflow to some extent, it only provides airflow in one direction and cannot dissipate heat from all directions within the sterilizer, creating heat dissipation dead zones. This leads to uneven temperature distribution within the equipment, affecting its overall performance and sterilization effect. Therefore, we propose an auxiliary heat dissipation device for pressure sterilizers to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary heat dissipation device for a pressure sterilizer to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An auxiliary heat dissipation device for a pressure sterilizer includes a sterilizer body, three support feet connected to the bottom surface of the sterilizer body, a touch panel connected to the front surface of the sterilizer body, a lid on the top of the sterilizer body, a master control switch connected to the front surface of the sterilizer body, an air-cooling component connected to the bottom surface of the sterilizer body, and a water-cooling component connected to the back surface of the sterilizer body.
[0007] In a further embodiment, the air-cooling assembly includes a dust cover connected to the bottom surface of the sterilizer body, a heat-conducting plate connected to the bottom surface of the sterilizer body, a motor connected to the bottom surface of the sterilizer body, and a set of blades connected to the output end of the motor.
[0008] In a further embodiment, the water-cooling assembly includes a cooler connected to the back of the sterilizer body, and the output end of the cooler is connected to an output pump.
[0009] In a further embodiment, a cooling tank is provided inside the sterilizer body, and a cooling pipe is connected to the inner wall of the cooling tank.
[0010] In a further embodiment, the output end of the output pump passes through the sterilizer body and extends into the interior of the cooling tank via a conduit, the input end of the cooler passes through the sterilizer body and extends into the interior of the cooling tank via a conduit, one end of the cold pipe is connected to the output pump via a conduit, and the other end of the cold pipe is connected to the output pump via a conduit.
[0011] In a further embodiment, a temperature sensor is connected to the inner bottom wall of the sterilizer body.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This device achieves efficient and precise heat dissipation through a combined air-cooling and water-cooling mechanism, improving equipment performance and user experience. The temperature sensor and the main control switch form an intelligent monitoring and feedback system. When the temperature exceeds the threshold at the end of sterilization, the air-cooling component is activated. The motor drives the blades to rotate and work with the heat-conducting plate to quickly dissipate heat. At the same time, the water-cooling component is activated simultaneously. The cooler cools the coolant and delivers it to the cold pipe for circulation and heat dissipation through the output pump, which greatly shortens the cooling time. This not only effectively meets the needs of continuous sterilization operations but also avoids energy waste and reduces operating costs. In addition, the dust cover can prevent dust from entering and extend the service life of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 In this utility model, an auxiliary heat dissipation device for a pressure sterilizer includes a sterilizer body 1, three support feet 6 connected to the bottom of the sterilizer body 1, a touch panel 2 connected to the front of the sterilizer body 1, a lid 7 on the top of the sterilizer body 1, a master control switch 3 connected to the front of the sterilizer body 1, an air-cooling component 4 connected to the bottom of the sterilizer body 1, and a water-cooling component 5 connected to the back of the sterilizer body 1. When the temperature sensor 8 detects that the temperature inside the sterilizer body 1 is higher than the set air-cooling start threshold, the air-cooling component 4 is activated, the motor 403 starts running, driving a set of blades 404 to rotate and generate airflow. Heat inside the sterilizer body 1 is conducted out through the heat conduction plate 402. Airflow carries away the heat through the heat conduction plate 402. At the same time, the water cooling component 5 is activated, and the cooler 501 starts working to cool the coolant. The output pump 502 delivers the cooled coolant through a conduit to the cold pipe 504 in the cooling tank 503. The coolant circulates in the cold pipe 504, absorbing heat from the sterilizer body 1, and then flows back to the cooler 501 through the conduit for further cooling. This cycle achieves efficient heat dissipation and significantly shortens the cooling time. It not only effectively meets the needs of continuous sterilization operations but also avoids energy waste and reduces operating costs.
[0021] The air-cooled assembly 4 includes a dust cover 401 connected to the bottom surface of the sterilizer body 1. A heat-conducting plate 402 is connected to the bottom surface of the sterilizer body 1. A motor 403 is connected to the bottom surface of the sterilizer body 1. A set of blades 404 is connected to the output end of the motor 403. The dust cover 401 prevents dust from entering and extends the service life of the equipment. The water-cooled assembly 5 includes a cooler 501 connected to the back of the sterilizer body 1. An output pump 502 is connected to the output end of the cooler 501. The output pump 502 improves the water flow efficiency. A cooling tank 503 is provided inside the sterilizer body 1. A cold pipe 504 is connected to the inner wall of the cooling tank 503. The cold pipe 504 absorbs heat from inside the sterilizer body 1.
[0022] The output end of the output pump 502 passes through the sterilizer body 1 through a conduit and extends into the interior of the cooling tank 503. The input end of the cooler 501 passes through the sterilizer body 1 through a conduit and extends into the interior of the cooling tank 503. One end of the cold pipe 504 is connected to the output pump 502 through a conduit, and the other end of the cold pipe 504 is connected to the output pump 502 through a conduit. Through the above structure, efficient heat dissipation through circulation can be achieved. A temperature sensor 8 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the sterilizer body 1. Through the set temperature sensor 8, the temperature inside the sterilizer body 1 can be monitored in real time.
[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0024] After the sterilization process is completed, the temperature sensor 8 inside the sterilizer body 1 begins to monitor the internal temperature in real time and feeds the temperature data back to the main control switch 3. When the temperature sensor 8 detects that the temperature inside the sterilizer body 1 is higher than the set air-cooling start threshold, the air-cooling component 4 is activated, the motor 403 starts to run, driving a set of blades 404 to rotate and generate airflow. At the same time, the heat inside the sterilizer body 1 is conducted out through the heat conduction plate 402, and the airflow carries away the heat through the heat conduction plate 402. Simultaneously, the water-cooling component 5 is activated, the cooler 501 starts to work, and cools the coolant. The output pump 502 delivers the cooled coolant through the conduit to the cold pipe 504 in the cooling tank 503. The coolant circulates in the cold pipe 504, absorbing the heat inside the sterilizer body 1, and then flows back to the cooler 501 through the conduit for further cooling. This cycle achieves efficient heat dissipation. When the temperature sensor 8 detects that the temperature inside the sterilizer body 1 drops to the set safe temperature range, the control system will sequentially shut down the water-cooling component 5 and the air-cooling component 4, ending the heat dissipation process.
