Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disinfection box technology, and in particular to an unlocking structure and a disinfection box. Background Technology
[0002] Most medical sterilization boxes currently use either a separate manual or electronic unlocking mechanism. However, the manual unlocking mechanism is prone to accidental unlocking after prolonged use, interrupting the sterilization process. The electronic unlocking mechanism cannot unlock during power outages, preventing the removal of medical devices from the sterilization box and reducing sterilization efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose an unlocking structure that aims to solve the problem that existing medical disinfection boxes, which use manual or electronic unlocking structures alone, are prone to accidental unlocking or inability to unlock.
[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model proposes an unlocking structure, comprising: The locking device is rotatably connected to the body of the disinfection box. The locking device has a snap-fit end and an abutment end. The snap-fit end of the locking device is provided with a snap-fit part. When the disinfection box is in the closed state, the snap-fit part snaps into the upper cover of the disinfection box. A driving component, wherein the driving component is installed inside the disinfection box body, and a rotating shaft extends from one side of the driving component, the rotating shaft abutting against the abutting end; and A lifting component is installed inside the disinfection box body. One end of the lifting component abuts against the abutting end, and the other end is inserted into the outer surface of the disinfection box body, and a insertion hole is provided. The insertion hole is used for an external lifting structure to lift the lifting component.
[0005] In one embodiment, the unlocking structure further includes an abutment member, which includes a rotating part and a first abutment part. One end of the rotating part is connected to the rotating shaft, and the first abutment part is set at an angle to the rotating part and connected to the other end of the rotating part. The first abutment part abuts against the abutment end.
[0006] In one embodiment, the unlocking structure further includes a sensor located near the rotating shaft, the sensor being used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating shaft.
[0007] In one embodiment, the sensing element includes a photoelectric sensor and a baffle. The photoelectric sensor is located near the rotating shaft and has a sensing groove, and the baffle is installed on one side of the rotating shaft. When the disinfection box is in the closed state, the baffle is located in the sensing groove; when the disinfection box is in the open state, the baffle is disengaged from the sensing groove.
[0008] In one embodiment, the unlocking structure further includes a reset member, one end of which is connected to the disinfection box body and the other end of which is connected to the locking device.
[0009] In one embodiment, the reset element is a spring.
[0010] In one embodiment, the unlocking structure further includes a mounting base, which is installed inside the disinfection box body, and the locking fastener is rotatably connected to the mounting base.
[0011] In one embodiment, the abutting end is further provided with a second abutting plate, the second abutting plate being connected to the side of the abutting end facing the lifting member, and one end of the lifting member abutting against the second abutting plate.
[0012] In one embodiment, the unlocking structure further includes a return member, which is sleeved on the lifting member and is used to drive the lifting member to reset.
[0013] This utility model also proposes a disinfection box, including a disinfection box body, a disinfection box cover, and an unlocking structure. The unlocking structure is the unlocking structure described above. The unlocking structure is located inside the disinfection box body and is snapped onto the disinfection box cover.
[0014] This invention proposes an unlocking structure, including a locking component, a driving component, and a lifting component. The locking component and the driving component work together to achieve electronic unlocking. Specifically, when the disinfection box is unlocked electronically, the driving component is activated, causing the rotating shaft to rotate. This rotates and lifts the locking end that abuts against the rotating shaft, disengaging the locking end of the locking component from the disinfection box cover, thus unlocking the box. When power is off, the locking component and the lifting component work together to achieve manual unlocking. Specifically, when the disinfection box is unlocked manually, the operator inserts the lifting structure into the insertion hole of the lifting component to lift the component. This causes the end of the lifting component near the locking component to rotate and lift, disengaging the locking end of the locking component from the disinfection box cover, thus unlocking the box. This unlocking structure combines electronic and manual unlocking, preventing accidental unlocking and unlocking failures of the disinfection box, thereby improving unlocking efficiency.

[0022] Most medical sterilization boxes currently use either a separate manual or electronic unlocking mechanism. However, the manual unlocking mechanism is prone to accidental unlocking after prolonged use, interrupting the sterilization process. The electronic unlocking mechanism cannot unlock during power outages, preventing the removal of medical devices from the sterilization box and reducing sterilization efficiency.
[0023] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes an unlocking structure that aims to solve the issues that existing medical disinfection boxes, which rely solely on manual or electronic unlocking mechanisms, are prone to accidental unlocking or inability to unlock.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the unlocking structure includes a locking member 10, a driving member 20, and a lifting member 30. The locking member 10 is rotatably connected to the body of the disinfection box. The locking member 10 has a snap-fit end and an abutment end 12. The snap-fit end of the locking member 10 is provided with a snap-fit part 11. When the disinfection box is in the closed state, the snap-fit part 11 snaps into the upper cover of the disinfection box. The driving member 20 is installed inside the body of the disinfection box. A rotating shaft 21 extends from one side of the driving member 20 and abuts against the abutment end 12. The lifting member 30 is installed inside the body of the disinfection box. One end of the lifting member 30 abuts against the abutment end 12, and the other end is inserted into the outer surface of the body of the disinfection box and is provided with an insertion hole 31. The insertion hole 31 is used for an external lifting structure to lift the lifting member 30.
[0025] In this embodiment, the locking device 10 has an L-shaped structure. A groove is formed at the end of the vertical section of the L-shaped structure near the top cover of the disinfection box, thus forming a snap-fit end. This snap-fit end can engage with a slot inside the top cover of the disinfection box to open or close the cover. The horizontal section of the L-shaped structure serves as an abutment end 12, which abuts against the rotating shaft 21 of the drive unit 20 and one end of the lifting member 30. The drive unit 20 is a drive motor, and its own drive shaft serves as the rotating shaft 21. Rotation of the drive unit 20 causes the rotating shaft 21 to apply rotation to the abutment end 12, thereby causing the snap-fit end to rotate and disengage from the slot inside the top cover of the disinfection box, achieving electronic unlocking.
[0026] In this embodiment, the lifting member 30 is a cylindrical rod structure. One end abuts against the abutting end 12 of the locking member 10, and the other end extends out of the outer surface of the disinfection box body. A plug-in hole 31 is provided at this end. The purpose of this plug-in hole 31 is to cooperate with the external lifting structure. When it is necessary to open the disinfection box, the external lifting structure can lift the lifting member 30 through the plug-in hole 31. This action is transmitted to the locking member 10, causing it to rotate around the rotating connection point, thereby releasing the latching part 11 from the lid of the disinfection box, so that the lid of the disinfection box can be opened smoothly, realizing mechanical unlocking.
[0027] The unlocking structure proposed in this utility model includes a locking component 10, a driving component 20, and a lifting component 30. The cooperation structure of the locking component 10 and the driving component 20 enables electronic unlocking. Specifically, when the disinfection box is unlocked electronically, the driving component 20 is first activated by the external control system. At this time, the rotating shaft 21 rotates with the driving component 20, thereby driving the locking end that abuts against the rotating shaft 21 to rotate and lift, thus causing the locking end of the locking component 10 to disengage from the top cover of the disinfection box, thereby unlocking. When the power is off, the cooperation structure of the locking component 10 and the lifting component 30 enables manual unlocking. Specifically, when the disinfection box is unlocked manually, the operator inserts the lifting structure into the insertion hole 31 of the lifting component 30 to lift the lifting component 30, so that the end of the lifting component 30 close to the locking component 10 drives the abutment end 12 to rotate and lift, thereby causing the locking end of the locking component 10 to disengage from the top cover of the disinfection box, thereby unlocking. The unlocking structure proposed in this utility model combines electronic and manual unlocking, preventing accidental unlocking and inability to unlock the disinfection box, thereby improving unlocking efficiency.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the unlocking structure further includes an abutment 40, which includes a rotating part 41 and a first abutment part 42. One end of the rotating part 41 is connected to the rotating shaft 21, and the first abutment part 42 is set at an angle to the rotating part 41 and connected to the other end of the rotating part 41. The first abutment part 42 abuts against the abutment end 12.
[0029] In this embodiment, the rotating part 41 and the first abutting part 42 can be welded or integrally designed to ensure the structural stability of the abutting part 40. The transmission part is a plate-shaped structure with a through hole, and is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 21 through the through hole, ensuring that the rotational torque of the rotating shaft 21 can be transmitted to itself and the first abutting part 42. The first abutting part 42 is arranged perpendicular to the rotating part 41, so that the first abutting part 42 can bypass the main structure of the driving member 20 and face the abutting end 12, making full use of the installation space inside the disinfection box and making the overall structure of the unlocking structure more compact. The design of the first abutting part 42 increases the contact area between the abutting end 12 and the rotating shaft 21, providing better mechanical stability and improving the stability of the abutting end 12 and the locking device 10 as a whole during rotation, thereby improving the unlocking stability of the unlocking structure.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the unlocking structure further includes a sensor 50 located near the rotating shaft 21, which is used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 21.
[0031] In this embodiment, the sensor 50 is installed near the rotating shaft 21 to ensure that it can accurately and promptly detect the rotation angle of the shaft 21. The sensor 50 can be of various types, such as a potentiometer, encoder, or Hall effect sensor. This sensor 50 is configured to monitor the rotation angle of the shaft 21 in real time. When the drive unit 20 starts and rotates the shaft 21, the sensor 50 immediately captures the angle change of the shaft 21 and converts these changes into readable electrical signals. By detecting the rotation angle of the shaft 21, the sensor 50 can provide feedback to the control system, enabling precise control of the unlocking process. For example, when the shaft 21 rotates to a specific angle, the sensor 50 can send a signal to instruct the drive unit 20 to stop rotating, thereby ensuring that the locking device 10 is properly disengaged without over-rotation. This improves the security of the unlocking structure.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the sensing element 50 includes a photoelectric sensor 51 and a baffle 52. The photoelectric sensor 51 is located near the rotating shaft 21 and has a sensing groove. The baffle 52 is installed on one side of the rotating shaft 21. When the disinfection box is in the closed state, the baffle 52 is located in the sensing groove; when the disinfection box is in the open state, the baffle 52 is disengaged from the sensing groove.
[0033] In this embodiment, the baffle 52 is fixedly installed on one side of the abutment 40 to ensure that it can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 21. The photoelectric sensor 51 is installed inside the disinfection box near the baffle 52. One wall of its sensing slot is provided with a laser emitter and the other wall is provided with a laser receiver. When there is no obstruction, the laser receiver can receive the laser emitted by the laser emitter.
[0034] When the disinfection box is in the closed state, the baffle 52 rotates with the rotating shaft 21 to be located in the sensing slot. At this time, the laser emitted by the laser emitter is blocked by the baffle 52, and the laser emitter cannot receive the laser and emit an electrical signal, indicating that the disinfection box is in the closed state. Conversely, the disinfection box is in the open state.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the unlocking structure further includes a reset member 60, one end of which is connected to the disinfection box body and the other end of which is connected to the locking member 10.
[0036] In this embodiment, the reset element 60 is an elastic element. One end of the reset element 60 is connected to the body of the disinfection box. This connection method can be a threaded connection, a snap-fit connection, or other forms of mechanical fixation to ensure the stability of the connection between the two. The other end is connected to the locking fastener 10, and the connection method is the same as described above. When the locking fastener 10 rotates, the reset element 60 itself will undergo elastic deformation. Through the rebound force of the reset element 60 itself, the locking fastener 10 can return to the same preset position after each unlocking. This ensures the accuracy and consistency of each locking operation and reduces locking failures caused by positional deviations. At the same time, the reset element 60 eliminates the need for the user to manually adjust the position of the locking fastener 10 after unlocking, simplifying the operation steps and improving ease of use.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the reset member 60 is a spring.
[0038] In this embodiment, the spring is typically made of stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant and highly elastic materials to ensure its stability and durability in the humid or chemically disinfected environment of the disinfection chamber. Meanwhile, the spring return component 60 has a simple structure, allowing for easy replacement if damaged or losing elasticity, thus reducing maintenance costs. Furthermore, the spring's compact structure does not occupy excessive space inside the disinfection chamber, contributing to the overall compactness and aesthetics of the design.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the unlocking structure further includes a mounting base 70, which is installed inside the disinfection box body, and the locking fastener 10 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 70.
[0040] In this embodiment, the mounting base 70 is made of a robust and durable material, such as a metal alloy or engineering plastic, to ensure its stability during long-term use. Its shape and size are designed according to the internal space of the disinfection box and the specific requirements of the locking device 10. The mounting base 70 can be fixed inside the disinfection box body by screws, clips, etc., ensuring its firmness and stability. The locking device 10 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 70 via a bearing or a rotating shaft 21, ensuring that the locking device 10 can rotate smoothly. This mounting base 70 makes the locking device 10 more stable during rotation, reducing displacement caused by vibration or impact, thereby improving the working stability of the unlocking structure.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the abutting end 12 is further provided with a second abutting plate 121, which is connected to the side of the abutting end 12 facing the lifting member 30, and one end of the lifting member 30 abuts against the second abutting plate 121.
[0042] In this embodiment, a second abutment plate 121 is added to the abutment end 12. The second abutment plate 121 is connected to the side of the abutment end 12 facing the lifting member 30. The connection method can be welding or integral design. One end of the lifting member 30 abuts against the second abutment plate 121. In this way, the lifting member 30 can cooperate more stably with the abutment end 12 during the lifting process, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the unlocking structure.
[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the unlocking structure further includes a return member 80, which is sleeved on the lifting member 30 and is used to drive the lifting member 30 to reset.
[0044] In this embodiment, the return member 80 can be a spring. During the lifting process, the lifting member 30 will stretch the spring to store elastic energy. After the lifting task is completed, the reset force inside the return member 80 will start to act, driving the lifting member 30 to slowly descend until it returns to the initial position, thereby improving the convenience of operation.
[0045] This utility model also proposes a disinfection box (not shown), which includes a disinfection box body, a disinfection box cover and an unlocking structure. The specific structure of the unlocking structure is as described in the above embodiments. Since the unlocking structure adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0046] 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.
