Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 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] The TEE probe is equipped with a dedicated vertical disinfection cabinet. When in use, the cable at the end of the probe near the handle is hung above the disinfection chamber, with the probe tip dangling inside. However, existing disinfection cabinets use simple hooks, which cause the cable to bend at a large angle when hanging. Prolonged hanging can lead to plastic deformation or even damage to the cable, so improvements are urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model proposes a disinfection cabinet 100, comprising: a cabinet body 10, a cabinet door 20, and a hanging device 30. The cabinet body 10 has a disinfection chamber 11 with an opening on one side, and the disinfection chamber 11 extends vertically. The cabinet door 20 is hinged to one side of the cabinet body 10, and the cabinet door 20 covers the disinfection chamber 11 when closed. The hanging device 30 is installed at the opening at the top of the disinfection chamber 11, and the hanging device 30 includes two clamping parts 31. The two clamping parts 31 have a clamping state in which they are close together in the horizontal direction to clamp the device to be disinfected 200, and a releasing state in which they are far apart to release the device to be disinfected 200.

[0035] With the above-described solution, when the operator places the device to be disinfected in the disinfection chamber 11 of the cabinet 10 and opens the cabinet door 20, the device 200 can be clamped horizontally by the two clamping parts 31 of the suspension structure. This provides high stability, eliminates the need to bend the device's cables, and better protects the cables, avoiding plastic deformation or damage caused by prolonged hanging and bending.

[0036] The specific implementation of the aforementioned suspension device 30 is diverse. In some embodiments of this utility model, the two clamping portions 31 of the suspension device 30 can be configured as two elastic clamping arms, one end of which is fixed to the wall of the disinfection chamber 11, and the other end is used to clamp the device 200 to be disinfected. In other embodiments of this utility model, the side wall at the top of the disinfection chamber 11 is provided with two sliding mounting portions, one of the clamping portions 31 is mounted on one of the sliding mounting portions, the top ends of the two sliding mounting portions are spaced apart, and the bottom ends of the two sliding mounting portions are inclined in a direction of approach. The clamping portion 31 can slide along the extending direction of the sliding mounting portion. With this configuration, the two clamping portions 31 can naturally slide down to the bottom of the sliding mounting portion under the action of gravity, thereby clamping the device 200 to be disinfected.

[0037] The sliding mounting part can be a sliding hole 131 or a sliding groove 3212. In some embodiments of this utility model, the cabinet 10 includes a cabinet body 12 and a disinfection chamber 13. The disinfection chamber 13 is installed inside the cabinet body 12, and the disinfection cavity 11 is formed inside the disinfection chamber 13. The sliding mounting part is a sliding hole 131 that penetrates the top side wall of the disinfection chamber 13. The suspension device 30 includes two sliding components 30'. Each sliding component 30' is provided with a clamping part 31. The sliding component 30' also includes a limiting structure 32. Each clamping part 31 has a guide protrusion 311 on one side. The guide protrusion 311 slides with the sliding hole 131. The limiting structure 32 connects to the guide protrusion 311 and limits it to the outside of the disinfection chamber 13. With this configuration, the clamping part not only slides with the sliding hole 131, but is also connected to the limiting structure 32 through the guide protrusion 311, further enhancing the sliding stability of the clamping part 31.

[0038] The limiting structure 32 can be used solely to restrict the clamping part 31 from disengaging from the sliding hole 131. For example, the limiting structure 32 can be a limiting plate, which abuts against the outer wall of the disinfection chamber 13. The limiting structure 32 can also be used to restrict the rotation of the clamping part 31 to prevent it from deviating from its intended position. In some embodiments of this invention, the limiting structure 32 includes a fixing member 321 and a sliding member 322. The fixing member 321 is fixed to the outer wall of the disinfection chamber 13, and the sliding member 322 is slidably mounted on the fixing member 321 and fixedly connected to the guide protrusion 311. By sliding the sliding member 322 together with the clamping part 31, the movement of the clamping part 31 in the direction away from the sliding member 322 and its own rotation are restricted, resulting in higher structural stability.

[0039] To further improve the stability of the clamping part 31 in holding the device 200 to be disinfected, in some embodiments of this utility model, the sliding assembly 30' further includes a reset member 33. One end of the reset member 33 is connected to the sliding member 322, and the other end is connected to the disinfection chamber 13. The sliding member 322 tends to move downward under the action of the reset member 33, so that the clamping part 31 is in a clamping state. In this way, the reset member 33 can increase the clamping force of the two clamping parts 31 on the device 200 to be disinfected, ensuring the stability of the device installation.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the reset member 33 is a compression spring, which applies pressure to the sliding member 322 from the upper side. In other embodiments of this utility model, the fixing member 321 has a groove 3212 on the side facing the disinfection chamber 13, and a through hole 3214 is opened on the bottom wall of the groove 3212. The sliding member 322 has a limiting screw 3223 on the side facing away from the clamping part 31, and the limiting screw 3223 is slidably limited within the through hole 3214. The reset member 33 is a tension spring, and a connecting post 132 protrudes from the outer wall of the disinfection chamber 13. The connecting post 132 is located below the sliding member 322, and the two ends of the tension spring are respectively connected to the corresponding limiting screw 3223 and the connecting post 132. Since tension springs do not exhibit the same bending and deflection stability as compression springs, they have higher structural stability. The connecting post 132 not only works with the limiting screw 3223 to fix the tension spring, but the connecting post 132 is also limited by the wall of the through hole 3214, thereby limiting the sliding distance of the sliding member 322.

[0041] There are various ways to install the fixing member 321 into the disinfection chamber 13, such as welding or snap-fitting. In some embodiments of this utility model, the fixing member 321 has wing plates 3211 protruding on opposite sides perpendicular to the extending direction of the slide groove 3212. The wing plates 3211 are fixed to the outer wall of the disinfection chamber 13. The structure is stable, and when the sliding member 322 and the fixing member 321 slide and rub against each other, the fixing member 321 is subjected to balanced force, which helps to extend its service life.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, at least one side of the sliding groove 3212 extends through the groove. A flange 3213 is provided on the wall near the groove opening of the sliding groove 3212. The sliding member 322 has a recessed portion 3224. The flange 3213 and the recessed portion 3224 are slidably engaged to prevent the sliding member 322 from dislodging from the sliding groove 3212. The engagement of the flange 3213 and the recessed portion 3224 prevents the sliding member 322 from accidentally dislodging from the sliding groove 3212 during use, improving the safety and reliability of the entire suspension device 30. Furthermore, the sliding member 322 can be conveniently inserted into the fixing member 321 from the side through which the sliding groove 3212 passes.

[0043] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the sliding member 322 includes a sliding block 3221 and a baffle plate 3222. The sliding block 3221 is slidably connected to the fixing member 321. The opposite sides of the baffle plate 3222 are respectively connected to the sliding member 322 and the guide protrusion 311, and block the sliding hole 131. In this way, the user cannot see the internal structure of the cabinet 10 through the sliding hole 131 from the front of the cabinet 10, resulting in better appearance consistency. It also prevents the user's fingers or other foreign objects from entering the sliding hole 131, protecting the safety of personnel and equipment.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the clamping part 31 is a pressure block 310, and the side of the two pressure blocks 310 that are close to each other is provided with a cutout 312 to adapt to the shape of the cable of the device to be disinfected 200. This block-shaped clamping part 31 has high structural strength and a long service life. The cutout 312 can increase the contact area between the pressure block 310 and the device to be disinfected 200, reduce pressure and reduce damage to the device.

[0045] To ensure that the device to be disinfected 200 is positioned at the center of the disinfection chamber 11 after installation, in some embodiments of this invention, the rear sidewall of the disinfection chamber 11 includes a first stepped surface 14 and a second stepped surface 15. The first stepped surface 14 is located above the second stepped surface 15 and is closer to the front of the cabinet 10 relative to the second stepped surface 15. The suspension device 30 is installed on the first stepped surface 14. In this way, when the device to be disinfected 200 is naturally suspended, the end portion requiring higher disinfection standards can be closer to the center of the disinfection chamber 11, resulting in more comprehensive and uniform disinfection and better effectiveness.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, a storage cavity is also provided on the front side of the cabinet 10. The top of the storage cavity is connected to the top of the disinfection chamber 11, so that the device to be disinfected 200 can be partially placed in the storage cavity and partially extended into the disinfection chamber 11 and held by the suspension device 30.

[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.
