Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical disinfection equipment technology, and in particular to a disinfection cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] A TEE (Transesophageal Echocardiography) probe is a high-precision medical device specifically designed for examining the structures of the heart and major blood vessels. The insertion of the TEE probe into the esophagus is similar to that of an electronic gastroscopy. Once safely inserted, the probe's depth within the esophagus is adjusted by advancing, retreating, rotating, and bending forward, backward, left, and right, allowing for the examination of the heart and major blood vessel structures from superficial to deep.

[0003] Existing vertical TEE sterilizers are generally used to sterilize longer probes. The middle of the long probe cable is suspended above the sterilization chamber, and the probe is located inside the sterilization chamber. However, such sterilizers are not suitable for shorter medical devices, such as ENT endoscopes. When shorter medical devices are suspended from the top of the cabinet, the device cannot be fully extended into the sterilization chamber. Therefore, the sterilizers have poor versatility.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model proposes a disinfection cabinet 100, including a cabinet body 10, a cabinet door 20, a support member 30, and a hanging structure 50. The cabinet body 10 has a disinfection chamber 11 recessed on the front side, which extends vertically. The cabinet door 20 is hinged to the front side of the cabinet body 10 and covers the disinfection chamber 11 when closed. The support member 30 is used for hanging medical equipment and is detachably installed on the side wall of the disinfection chamber 11, spaced apart from the bottom wall of the disinfection chamber 11. The hanging structure 50 is installed on the top wall of the disinfection chamber 11. Both the hanging structure 50 and the support member 30 are used to hang the equipment 200 to be disinfected.

[0037] The technical solution of this utility model is to install a support member 30 in the disinfection chamber 11 of the cabinet 10, so that the disinfection cabinet 100 can be used for medical equipment of different lengths. In actual use, when dealing with longer equipment, such as TEE probes, the support member 30 can be removed and the TEE probe can be directly hung on the suspension structure 50. When dealing with shorter equipment, such as ENT endoscopes, the support member 30 can be installed in the disinfection chamber 11 first, and then the equipment can be installed on the support member 30. In this way, the disinfection cabinet 100 can be adapted to different types of medical equipment, and its applicability is higher.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, the disinfection chamber 11 includes a primary chamber 111 and a secondary chamber 112, which are arranged vertically. The wall of the disinfection chamber 11 has an assembly step surface 113 located between the primary chamber 111 and the secondary chamber 112. A support member 30 is installed on the assembly step surface 113. The assembly step surface 113 provides stable support for the support member 30 and also enhances the spatial hierarchy within the disinfection cabinet 100, making it easier for operators to clearly distinguish the disinfection areas.

[0039] The primary chamber 111 and the secondary chamber 112 can employ the same or different disinfection structures, depending on the usage requirements, and are not limited here. There are various specific forming methods for the mounting step surface 113. For example, the wall of the disinfection chamber 11 may have a protruding annular structure, with one end face of the annular structure serving as the mounting step surface 113. Preferably, in some embodiments of this invention, the primary chamber 111 is located below the secondary chamber 112, and the inner diameter of the primary chamber 111 is smaller than that of the secondary chamber 112. The end face of the primary chamber 111 facing the secondary chamber 112 forms the mounting step surface 113. In this way, the cross-sectional area of ​​the primary chamber 111 is relatively smaller than that of the secondary chamber 112, and the overall spatial arrangement of the disinfection chamber 11 is adapted to the structural shape of the ultrasonic probe. The secondary chamber 112 can accommodate the handle portion of the ultrasonic probe, and the primary chamber 111 can accommodate the end portion of the ultrasonic probe.

[0040] There are various specific implementation methods for installing the support member 30 on the assembly step surface 113, such as snap-fit ​​or magnetic attraction. Preferably, in some embodiments of this utility model, the assembly step surface 113 is provided with a positioning pin 114, and the support member 30 is provided with a positioning hole 311, into which the positioning pin 114 is inserted. This can improve the accuracy and stability of the installation of the support member 30. After the positioning pin 114 is inserted into the positioning hole 311, it can prevent the support member 30 from shifting or rotating during the sterilization process, ensuring the stable mounting of the equipment.

[0041] In some embodiments of this invention, the positioning pin 114 is square. In other embodiments, at least two positioning pins 114 are provided, with at least two positioning pins 114 arranged at intervals around the primary chamber 111; the support member 30 is provided with at least two positioning holes 311, each positioning hole 311 cooperating with a positioning pin 114. This prevents both movement and rotation of the support member 30.

[0042] The specific structure of the support member 30 varies. For example, the support member 30 may be funnel-shaped, and the inner shape of the funnel-shaped support member 30 may be adapted to the shape of the equipment to be installed. Preferably, please refer to... Figure 6 In some embodiments of this utility model, the support member 30 includes a plate 31 and a bracket 32. The plate 31 has a through hole 312, and the bracket 32 ​​is connected to the inner wall of the through hole 312. The bracket 32 ​​is used to fix the equipment 200 to be disinfected. The plate 31 has positioning holes 311 spaced apart from each other. In this way, the support member 30 has a flat structure, which does not occupy too much vertical space. Moreover, the support member 30 can provide stable support for the equipment 200 to be disinfected from various horizontal and defensive lines through the bracket 32.

[0043] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, a first clearance opening 313 is formed through one radial side of the through hole 312. The bracket 32 ​​includes multiple support arms 321, which are integrally formed on the plate 31. The multiple support arms 321 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the through hole 312. The free ends of two support arms 321 near the first clearance opening 313 are spaced apart to form a second clearance opening 322. The free ends of the multiple support arms 321 surround an installation space 323 for the installation of the device to be disinfected 200. The integral forming of the support arms 321 on the plate 31 ensures the strength and durability of the support arms 321. The spaced arrangement of the free ends of the two support arms 321 near the first clearance opening 313 facilitates stress release.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the disinfection cabinet 100 further includes a locking device 40. One end of the locking device 40 is rotatably mounted on the mounting step surface 113, and the other end of the locking device 40 is spaced apart from the mounting step surface 113. The locking device 40 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking device 40 is rotated to the locked state, the locking device 40 is positioned above the support member 30. When the locking device 40 is rotated to the unlocked state, the locking device 40 is misaligned with the support member 30. Through the above solution, the support member 30 can be unlocked or locked by rotating the locking device 40, which is convenient, and the support member 30 has high stability in the locked state.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, a storage chamber 115 is also provided on the front side of the cabinet 10, and the top of the storage chamber 115 is connected to the top of the disinfection chamber. In this way, for some medical devices with a large overall length, part of them can be placed in the storage chamber 115, and the probe part can be placed in the disinfection chamber 11. This minimizes the impact on the parts of the device that do not need to be disinfected during disinfection, and makes storage convenient.

[0046] The suspension structure 50 can be vertically offset from the support member 30, or it can be vertically opposite to it. In some embodiments of this utility model, the suspension structure 50 and the support member 30 are vertically opposite to each other. In this way, when disinfecting a long TEE probe, the suspension structure 50 can also limit the end of the probe or the handle to prevent the probe from shaking.

[0047] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
