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 medical device specifically designed for examining the structures of the heart and major blood vessels. During use, the insertion of the TEE probe into the esophagus is similar to that of an electronic gastroscopy. After the probe is safely inserted into the esophagus, its 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] TEE probes are equipped with dedicated sterilization cabinets for disinfection, allowing for reuse and preventing cross-infection when different patients use the same TEE probe. Common sterilization cabinets use ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. Specifically, sterilization lamps are installed on the walls of the sterilization chamber within the cabinet body to irradiate and disinfect the probes. A reflective mirror is installed on the cabinet door to reflect UV rays, disinfecting the side of the probe installed in the sterilization chamber facing the door.

[0004] However, the intensity of ultraviolet rays decreases after being reflected by the mirror of the cabinet door, which results in inconsistent disinfection effects on the side of the probe facing the cabinet door and the side facing away from the cabinet door. There is a "shortcoming" in the disinfection effect. In order to achieve the required overall disinfection of the probe, a high-power disinfection lamp is required, which leads to higher manufacturing costs for the disinfection cabinet and probe disinfection costs.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model proposes a disinfection cabinet 100, including a cabinet body 10, a cabinet door 20, a first disinfection module 30, and a first cooling fan 40. The cabinet body 10 has a receiving groove 11 on its front side. The cabinet door 20 has an inner side 21 and an outer side 22, as well as an opening side 23 and a ventilation side 24. The portion of the inner side 21 of the cabinet door 20 near the ventilation side 24 is hinged to the front side of the cabinet body 10. The cabinet door 20 has an installation cavity 25. The ventilation side 23... 4. A plurality of ventilation holes 26 are provided, which communicate with the mounting cavity 25. The mounting cavity 25 protrudes outward from the cavity wall of the inner side 21 of the cabinet door 20 to form an assembly part 27. When the cabinet door 20 is closed, the assembly part 27 is embedded in the receiving groove 11. A first disinfection module 30 is installed in the assembly part 27 and is used to disinfect the equipment to be disinfected located in the receiving groove 11. A first cooling fan 40 is installed in the mounting cavity 25 and aligned with the first disinfection module 30.

[0036] The present invention achieves the following effects through the above-described solution: The cabinet door 20 is equipped with a first disinfection module 30, which can irradiate and disinfect the side of the equipment to be disinfected facing the cabinet door 20, solving the problem of "shortcomings" in the disinfection effect of the equipment and promoting uniform disinfection of all sides of the equipment. Furthermore, a first cooling fan 40 is also provided within the mounting cavity 25 of the cabinet door 20 for the first disinfection module 30, ensuring constant temperature operation of the first disinfection module 30, extending its service life, and facilitating consistency in performance and service life between the disinfection module of the cabinet door 20 and the disinfection module of the cabinet body. This also facilitates unified maintenance and replacement, reducing maintenance frequency. In addition, the mounting cavity 25 protrudes outward from the cavity wall of the inner side 21 of the cabinet door 20 to form an assembly part 27. When the cabinet door 20 is closed, the assembly part 27 is embedded in the receiving groove 11 to form a disinfection chamber. This makes the disinfection chamber more airtight. On the other hand, the protrusion of the assembly part 27 leaves more space in the mounting cavity 25 for installing the first cooling fan 40. The space arrangement is reasonable, improving the compactness without affecting the flow of hot air.

[0037] The cabinet body 10 is provided with a second disinfection module on the wall of the receiving slot 11, and a second cooling fan is installed inside the cabinet body 10 to assist the second disinfection module in dissipating heat.

[0038] The implementation of multiple ventilation holes 26 can be configured according to specific circumstances. They can be evenly distributed at equal intervals on the ventilation side 24, or concentrated at the top or bottom of the ventilation side 24. Preferably, in some embodiments of this utility model, the multiple ventilation holes 26 are divided into an air inlet group 261 and an air outlet group 262, which are arranged vertically at intervals. This vertically spaced arrangement of the air inlet group 261 and the air outlet group 262 helps to form an effective airflow path. Cold air enters through the air inlet group 261, while hot air is discharged through the air outlet group 262, forming natural convection, which helps to dissipate heat and maintain the temperature inside the cabinet.

[0039] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the disinfection cabinet 100 further includes a surrounding panel assembly 50, which is installed within the mounting cavity 25 and divides the mounting cavity 25 into a heat dissipation duct 253 and a cavity. The assembly part 27 is formed on the wall surface of the heat dissipation duct 253, and the air inlet group 261 and the air outlet group 262 communicate with the heat dissipation duct 253. The surrounding panel assembly 50 divides the mounting cavity 25 into the heat dissipation duct 253 and the cavity, which helps to optimize airflow and provides space for other components. During heat dissipation, the airflow can be more concentrated through the area with higher heat, resulting in higher heat dissipation efficiency.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the cavity includes an inner cavity 251 and an outer cavity 252, the inner cavity 251 and the outer cavity 252 are respectively located on both sides of the heat dissipation duct 253, the enclosure assembly 50 includes an inner enclosure 53 and an outer enclosure 54, the inner enclosure 53 and the outer enclosure 54 are both connected at both ends to the wall surface of the mounting cavity 25 corresponding to the ventilation side 24; the two ends of the inner enclosure 53 are spaced apart between the air inlet group 261 and the air outlet group 262, and enclose to form the inner cavity 251, the two ends of the outer enclosure 54 are respectively connected to the two sides of the air inlet group 261 and the air outlet group 262 that are far apart, and enclose to form the outer cavity 252.

[0041] With the above-described design, both ends of the inner enclosure 53 and the outer enclosure 54 are connected to the wall surface of the corresponding ventilation side 24 of the mounting cavity 25. This design helps to fix the enclosure assembly 50 and form a stable structure. The two ends of the inner enclosure 53 are spaced apart between the air inlet group 261 and the air outlet group 262, enclosing and forming the inner cavity 251. This layout helps to isolate the inner cavity 251 from the airflow path, protecting the internal components from direct airflow. Through the arrangement of the inner enclosure 53 and the outer enclosure 54, the inner cavity 251 and the outer cavity 252 are effectively isolated and protected, while maximizing space utilization.

[0042] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the enclosure assembly 50 further includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs 55. Some of the reinforcing ribs 55 are connected to the side of the outer enclosure 54 facing away from the heat dissipation duct 253, while the remaining reinforcing ribs 55 are connected to the side of the inner enclosure 53 facing away from the heat dissipation duct 253. This enhances the rigidity and pressure resistance of the enclosure assembly 50, ensuring stability and durability under various usage conditions. In addition, the reinforcing ribs 55 are all located on the side of the enclosure facing away from the heat dissipation duct 253, so that the reinforcing ribs 55 and the airflow do not interfere with each other.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, the cabinet door 20 includes an inner shell 29 and an outer shell 28. The outer shell 28 covers the inner shell 29 and forms the mounting cavity 25 inside. The enclosure panel assembly 50 is installed on the inner shell 29. This allows for easy assembly; the enclosure panel and other components can be installed onto the inner shell 29 first, and then the outer shell 28 can be installed last. When maintenance or replacement of the internal structure of the cabinet door 20 is required, access can be made directly by disassembling the outer shell 28, simplifying the maintenance process.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the disinfection cabinet 100 includes at least three hinges 60, one side of which is connected to the cabinet body 10, and the other side is connected to the cabinet door 20. The at least three hinges 60 are arranged vertically at intervals. The air inlet group 261 is disposed between the bottommost hinge 60 and the adjacent hinge 60, and the air outlet group 262 is disposed between the topmost hinge 60 and the adjacent hinge 60. Specifically, three, four, or five hinges 60 can be provided, and no limitation is made here. Hinges 60 are used to connect cabinet doors 20 and cabinet bodies 10, ensuring that cabinet doors 20 can be stably connected to cabinet bodies 10 and can be opened and closed smoothly. The hinges 60 are arranged vertically at intervals. This arrangement helps to distribute the weight of the cabinet doors 20, reducing the burden on individual hinges 60 and improving the stability and durability of the cabinet doors 20. Furthermore, the vent assembly 262 is located between the topmost hinge 60 and its adjacent hinges. This layout helps to expel hot air during the heat dissipation process from the top.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, the inner side 21 of the cabinet door 20 is recessed to form a relief groove 211 corresponding to the inner cavity 251, and a hinge 60 is connected to the relief groove 211. Utilizing the extra cavity space to accommodate the hinge 60 does not affect the function of the disinfection cabinet 100 and can improve the compactness of the structure.

[0046] In some embodiments of this invention, the disinfection cabinet 100 further includes at least two auxiliary fans 70, which are installed within the mounting cavity 25 and positioned close to the air inlet group 261 and the air outlet group 262, respectively. The auxiliary fans 70 enhance airflow within the cabinet, improving disinfection efficiency and heat dissipation. The placement of the auxiliary fans 70 close to the air inlet group 261 and the air outlet group 262 helps to more effectively guide air into and out of the disinfection cabinet 100, forming an orderly airflow path.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, multiple first cooling fans 40 are provided, and the cabinet door 20 further includes a mounting bracket 80. The mounting bracket 80 is mounted on the wall surface of the mounting cavity 25 corresponding to the assembly part 27, and multiple first cooling fans 40 are mounted on the mounting bracket 80. Due to the presence of the mounting bracket 80, during assembly, multiple fans can be mounted on the mounting bracket 80 first, and then the whole assembly can be mounted on the inner shell 29, realizing modular assembly and improving assembly efficiency.

[0048] 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.
