Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing auxiliary facilities technology, specifically a nursing disinfection device. Background Technology

[0002] Medical ultrasonic cleaning devices use high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to create a cavitation effect in the cleaning solution, forming tiny bubbles that instantly collapse and generate high-pressure shock waves to remove dirt from the surface of instruments for disinfection and cleaning. They are usually used in conjunction with cleaning baskets, which are used to hold nursing instruments such as scissors, pliers, and other metal instruments.

[0003] When an ultrasonic cleaner is in operation, the metal mesh basket has a short handle, so the operator usually holds the handle while immersing the basket containing the medical instruments below the liquid surface. After cleaning, the basket is removed by holding the handle again. Both insertion and removal require the operator to put their hands below the liquid surface. During ultrasonic cleaning, the liquid surface is turbulent, and impurities and dirt easily float to the surface. Even if the operator wears gloves, these impurities and dirt can easily enter through the gap between the gloves and wrists when the gloves are submerged, posing a risk of infection. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a disinfection device for nursing care to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a disinfection device for nursing care, comprising a cleaning machine body and a frame, with connecting rods bolted to both sides of the frame surface, and a sliding sleeve bolted to the inside of the cleaning machine body, with the connecting rods slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve, and a handle fixed to the other end of the connecting rods, with cages bolted to both sides of the frame, and an empty plastic box provided inside the cage, with a rubber buffer pad fixed to the bottom of the cage by screws.

[0006] Preferably, a threaded hole is provided on the lower part of the cage surface, and a through hole is provided on the surface of the rubber buffer pad.

[0007] Preferably, the grip is positioned above the slide when the rubber cushioning pad touches the bottom.

[0008] Preferably, the frame, connecting rods, and cage are all made of aluminum alloy material with a fluorocarbon coating on the surface.

[0009] Preferably, the plastic empty box is made of polypropylene, and the rubber cushioning pad is made of fluororubber.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the cage has an open design.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention utilizes an empty plastic box to allow the frame and connecting rods to float in the disinfectant solution within the ultrasonic cleaner. This allows staff to place metal mesh baskets containing medical instruments. After the metal mesh baskets are placed on the surface of the frame, gravity causes them to descend and become submerged in the liquid for cleaning. A rubber buffer pad provides cushioning protection during this descent. After cleaning, medical staff can lift the handle above the liquid surface to raise the connecting rods, frame, and metal mesh baskets for easy removal. Whether removing or placing the baskets, staff do not need to submerge their hands, reducing the risk of infection. Attached Figure Description

[0014] 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.

[0015] Please see Figures 1-7As shown, a disinfection device for nursing care includes a cleaning machine body 1 and a frame 2. Connecting rods 3 are bolted to both sides of the surface of the frame 2. A sliding sleeve 4 is also bolted to the inside of the cleaning machine body 1, and the connecting rods 3 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 4, thereby enabling the frame 2 and connecting rods 3 to move vertically up and down. The frame 2 is welded from aluminum alloy square tubing, with aluminum alloy square strips welded to the inner side to form the frame 2, which is used to support a metal mesh basket. The surface of the aluminum alloy square tubing forming the frame 2 is coated with fluorocarbon paint. Fluorocarbon paint has excellent weather resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, and is especially suitable for environments containing chlorine disinfectants and peroxide disinfectants, effectively preventing the aluminum alloy material from being corroded by the disinfectant during immersion. A handle 6 is fixed to the other end of the connecting rod 3. The connecting rod 3 is made of aluminum alloy round tubing, and its surface is also coated with fluorocarbon paint.

[0016] Both sides of frame 2 are bolted with cages 7, which are welded from aluminum alloy square and round tubes. The surface of this aluminum alloy material is also coated with fluorocarbon paint to prevent corrosion by disinfectant. Inside cages 7 are empty plastic boxes 5. The bottom of cages 7 has an open design to allow for removal of the empty plastic boxes 5 from below. The empty plastic boxes 5 are made of polypropylene, which is resistant to acids, alkalis, organic solvents, and oxidizing disinfectants such as those containing chlorine and peroxides. It has high chemical stability, and medical-grade PP is non-toxic and harmless, and will not release harmful substances. Furthermore, the empty plastic boxes 5 are relatively large, and the bottom of cages 7... The cage 7 is secured with a rubber buffer pad 8 by screws. The rubber buffer pad 8 is made of fluororubber. As a rubber material that is immersed in chlorine-containing disinfectant and peroxide disinfectant for a long time, fluororubber has excellent corrosion resistance and is stable against more than 1,600 kinds of chemicals. A threaded hole 9 is provided on the lower part of the surface of the cage 7. The threaded hole 9 passes through the aluminum alloy square tube at the bottom of the cage 7. A through hole 10 is opened on the surface of the rubber buffer pad 8. The screw is picked up, passed through the through hole 10, and rotated with a screwdriver. The screw enters the threaded hole 9, and the rubber buffer pad 8 is fixed to the bottom of the cage 7.

[0017] During use, the pool inside the cleaning machine body 1 contains disinfectant. The level of the disinfectant is lower than the height of the sliding sleeve 4. The buoyancy of the internal disinfectant causes the empty plastic box 5 to float. Because the connecting rod 3, frame 2, and cage 7 are all made of lightweight aluminum alloy square and round tubes, and are hollow and lightweight, the empty plastic box 5 can easily lift the connecting rod 3, frame 2, and cage 7, making the frame 2 higher than the liquid level. Simultaneously, the handle 6 is positioned above the edge of the pool in the cleaning machine body 1, allowing the metal container containing medical instruments (scissors, pliers, etc.) to float. The metal mesh basket is placed inside the frame 2. At this time, the weight overcomes the buoyancy of the empty plastic box 5. The metal mesh basket, connecting rod 3, frame 2, cage 7 and empty plastic box 5 descend. The rubber buffer pad 8 at the bottom of the cage 7 touches the bottom and provides cushioning. At this time, the handle 6 is still above the sliding sleeve 4, that is, above the liquid surface. The metal mesh basket is submerged below the liquid surface for cleaning. In this way, medical staff do not need to directly immerse the metal mesh basket below the liquid surface by hand. The main body of the cleaning machine 1 is an ultrasonic cleaner. Its specific working method is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0018] After cleaning, by holding handle 6, the connecting rod 3, frame 2 and metal basket are raised, so that the metal basket is moved above the liquid surface, allowing the staff to remove the metal basket without putting their hands into the liquid, reducing the risk of infection.
