Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a storage rack, specifically an ophthalmic multifunctional storage rack. Background Technology
[0002] Some items used in ophthalmological work need to be washed, placed on racks to air dry, and then sterilized for reuse. Examples include microsurgical forceps, microsurgical scissors, corneal puncture knives, and reusable surgical drapes. Most existing ophthalmological storage racks are primarily used for categorizing and storing items used in ophthalmological work. For example, the ophthalmological surgical item storage rack disclosed in Chinese utility model patent CN218636072U is designed for conveniently placing documents and other items used in ophthalmological work, but it is not suitable for drying items used in ophthalmological work.
[0003] In existing technologies, the drying environment for medical devices after cleaning is usually chosen indoors. This is because the outdoor environment cannot effectively control pollutants such as dust and microorganisms, which can easily lead to contamination of medical devices and fail to meet the hygiene requirements for drying medical devices after cleaning. Furthermore, outdoor drying may be affected by weather changes (such as rain, sandstorms, etc.), further increasing the risk of contamination. Some existing clothes racks are inconvenient for placing ophthalmic medical instruments such as micro-forceps, micro-scissors, and corneal puncture knives. Also, water droplets falling from these items during the drying process can flow onto the ground, potentially causing bacterial and mold growth indoors, which has adverse effects. Therefore, these methods are not well-suited for indoor drying of various items used in ophthalmic work. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a multifunctional ophthalmic storage rack that can be used for indoor drying of different items used in ophthalmic work.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An ophthalmic multifunctional storage rack includes a frame, at least one set of hanging rods, a water guide plate, a water receiving container, and a shelf. At least one set of hanging rods is fixed to the frame, and each hanging rod has several hooks spaced apart. The water guide plate is inclined and fixedly connected to the frame and positioned below the at least one set of hanging rods. The water receiving container is positioned below the water guide plate and slidably connected to the frame. The shelf is rotatably connected to the side of the frame and has several drainage holes spaced apart. The shelf can rotate under force in a retracted position and an extended position: when the shelf is in the retracted position, it is vertically positioned on the side of the frame; when the shelf is in the extended position, it is horizontally positioned. The water receiving container can move horizontally towards a higher end away from the water guide plate to collect water falling from the lower end of the shelf and the water guide plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the water receiving container can be moved horizontally in a first position and a second position under force: when the water receiving container is in the first position, the water receiving container is housed in the frame and can receive water falling from the lower end of the water guide plate; when the water receiving container is moved horizontally to the second position in a direction away from the higher end of the water guide plate, one end of the water receiving container moves to directly below the shelf to receive water falling from the shelf and the lower end of the water guide plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the water receiving container is provided with a water collecting cavity, which extends through the top of the water receiving container to form an opening. When the water receiving container is in the first position and the second position, the vertical projection of the lower end of the water guide plate is located within the opening.
[0009] Furthermore, a baffle plate is provided on the top surface of the end of the water receiving container near the placement plate. The baffle plate is positioned on one side of the lower end of the water guide plate and is spaced apart from the lower end of the water guide plate to form a water inlet channel for water to enter the water receiving container.
[0010] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the water collection cavity is inclined, and the bottom of the water receiving container is connected to a drain pipe that communicates with the water collection cavity. The drain pipe is located on the lower side of the bottom wall of the water collection cavity, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, two parallel guide rails are fixed at intervals on the frame, and both guide rails extend in the horizontal direction; the outer wall of the water receiving container is provided with slide rails corresponding to the two guide rails, and the two slide rails are slidably connected to the two guide rails respectively.
[0012] Furthermore, a limiting plate is provided on the top surface of the end of the water receiving container away from the shelf. When the water receiving container slides towards the higher end away from the water guide plate, the limiting plate can abut against the water guide plate to prevent the water receiving container from detaching from the frame.
[0013] Furthermore, a stop member is fixed on the frame. When the water receiving container slides to the first position towards the higher end of the water guide plate, the limiting plate can abut against the stop member to position the water receiving container at the first position.
[0014] Furthermore, the ophthalmic multifunctional shelf includes two sets of hanging rods, which are arranged vertically at intervals. Each set of hanging rods includes at least two hanging rods that are arranged parallel to each other on the same horizontal plane.
[0015] Furthermore, a handle is fixed to the frame.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] The aforementioned multifunctional ophthalmic storage rack allows users to hang surgical sheets that need drying on the hooks of the hanging rods and rotate the shelf to the unfolded position. Medical instruments such as microscopic forceps, microscopic scissors, and corneal puncture knives that need drying can then be placed on the shelf for drying. During this process, water dripping from the surgical sheets is guided by a water guide plate to a collection container, while water dripping from the medical instruments on the shelf also falls through the drainage holes under its own weight into the collection container, preventing the floor from getting wet and avoiding the growth of bacteria and mold. Furthermore, the design of the water guide plate and collection container allows the same collection container to be used for both individual items placed on the hooks and individual items on the shelf for drying, reducing the number of collection containers needed and lowering costs. When not in use, the shelf can be stored on the side of the rack, further reducing the space required for storage. Attached Figure Description

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0026] Please also see Figures 1 to 4 A preferred embodiment of this utility model provides an ophthalmic multifunctional storage rack 100, comprising a frame 10, at least one set of hanging rods 20, a water guide plate 30, a water receiving container 40, and a shelf 50. At least one set of hanging rods 20 is fixed to the frame 10, and each hanging rod 20 is provided with a plurality of hooks 21 at intervals. The water guide plate 30 is inclined and fixedly connected to the frame 10 and located below the at least one set of hanging rods 20. The shelf 50 is rotatably connected to the side of the frame 10. The water receiving container 40 is located below the water guide plate 30 and the shelf 50 and is slidably connected to the frame 10.
[0027] In this embodiment, the frame 10 is generally a cubic support structure, comprising four spaced-apart uprights 11 and several crossbeams 12 that fix adjacent uprights 11 together, connecting the four uprights 11 into a whole via the crossbeams 12. Handles 13 are also fixed to the frame 10. In this embodiment, two oppositely arranged handles 13 are fixed to the top of the frame 10, and the handles 13 are fixedly connected to the tops of adjacent uprights 11 of the frame 10.
[0028] In this embodiment, the ophthalmic multifunctional storage rack 100 includes two sets of hanging rods 20, which are arranged vertically at intervals. Each set of hanging rods 20 includes at least two hanging rods 20 arranged parallel to each other on the same horizontal plane. In this embodiment, the top of each hook 21 is fixedly connected to the corresponding hanging rod 20, and the bottom end of each hook 21 is bent to form a hook for hooking items to be dried. A water guide plate 30 is used to guide water that falls from items hooked on the hooks 21 to a water receiving container 40. In this embodiment, the higher end of the water guide plate 30 is fixedly connected to the upright 11. In addition, leak-proof plates 31 are also provided on opposite sides of the water guide plate 30, extending from the higher end to the lower end of the water guide plate 30. The leak-proof plates 31 can further prevent water on the water guide plate 30 from leaking out from both sides of the water guide plate 30.
[0029] The shelf 50 is used to place ophthalmic instruments to be dried, and the shelf 50 is provided with a plurality of drainage holes 51 at intervals. In this embodiment, the shelf 50 is rotatably connected to one of the crossbeams 12 of the frame 10 and is located on one side of the lower end of the water guide plate 30. Specifically, the shelf 50 can be rotatably connected to the crossbeam 12 by a friction-type multi-angle positioning pivot of the prior art, which allows the shelf 50 to be fixed after rotating at a preset angle. If it is necessary to change the angle, external force can be applied to overcome the friction to achieve rotation. Alternatively, a rotating sleeve can be provided on one side of the shelf 50, allowing the shelf 50 to be rotatably fitted onto the corresponding crossbeam 12. Furthermore, to position the shelf 50 at the desired rotation angle, a locking screw is threaded onto the rotating sleeve. In use, rotating the locking screw causes one end of the screw to abut against the crossbeam 12, preventing the shelf 50 from rotating relative to the crossbeam 12. When rotating the locking screw separates one end from the crossbeam 12, the shelf 50 can be freely rotated to adjust its angle. In this embodiment, the shelf 50 can rotate under force in both a stowed position and an unfolded position: when the shelf 50 is in the stowed position (e.g., ... Figure 1 As shown), the shelf 50 is vertically positioned on the side of the frame 10 to be stored between two adjacent uprights 11; when the shelf 50 is in the unfolded position (as shown), Figure 4 As shown), the shelf 50 is set horizontally to prevent ophthalmic instruments from drying.
[0030] The water receiving container 40 is used to collect water falling from the lower end of the shelf 50 and the water guide plate 30. The water receiving container 40 is slidably connected to the frame 10, specifically: two parallel guide rails 14 are fixed at intervals on the uprights 11 of the frame 10, and both guide rails 14 extend horizontally; two sliding rails 41 are fixed on the outer wall of the water receiving container 40 corresponding to the two guide rails 14, and the two sliding rails 41 are slidably connected to the two guide rails 14 respectively. In this embodiment, the inner side of the uprights 11 is recessed with mounting grooves 110 corresponding to the two guide rails 14, and the guide rails 14 are fixed in the corresponding mounting grooves 110 and extend from the higher end of the water guide plate 30 toward the lower end of the water guide plate 30. The guide rail 14 has a recessed guide groove 141 on the side facing the other guide rail 14; the two slide rails 41 are respectively fixed on opposite sides of the outer surface of the water receiving container 40, and the two slide rails 41 are slidably connected to the two guide grooves 141, thereby slidably connecting the water receiving container 40 and the frame 10 together.
[0031] The water receiving container 40 has a water collecting cavity 42, which extends through the top of the water receiving container 40 to form an opening. The water receiving container 40 can move horizontally away from the higher end of the water guide plate 30 to collect water falling from the lower end of the shelf plate 50 and the water guide plate 30. Specifically, the water receiving container 40 can move horizontally in a first position and a second position under force: when the water receiving container 40 is in the first position (e.g. Figure 1 As shown), the water receiving container 40 is housed within the frame 10, specifically within the space enclosed by the uprights 11 and several crossbeams 12 of the frame 10, and can receive water falling from the lower end of the water guide plate 30 through its opening; when the water receiving container 40 is moved horizontally to the second position away from the higher end of the water guide plate 30 under force (as shown), Figure 4 As shown, one end of the water receiving container 40 moves to directly below the shelf 50, and can receive water falling from the lower end of the shelf 50 and the water guide plate 30 through the opening. In this embodiment, when the water receiving container 40 is in the first position and the second position, the vertical projection of the lower end of the water guide plate 30 is located within the opening, thereby ensuring that the water receiving container 40 can receive water falling from the lower end of the shelf 50 and the water guide plate 30 regardless of whether it is in the first position or the second position.
[0032] In this embodiment, a baffle plate 43 protrudes from the top surface of the end of the water receiving container 40 near the shelf 50. The baffle plate 43 is positioned outside the lower end of the water guide plate 30 and spaced apart from the lower end of the water guide plate 30 to form a water inlet channel 48 for water to enter the water receiving container 40. When the water receiving container 40 is in the first position, the baffle plate 43 can prevent water falling from the water guide plate 30 from accidentally falling outside the water receiving container 40.
[0033] In this embodiment, the water receiving container 40 is also connected to a drain pipe 45 that communicates with the water collecting chamber 42, and a valve 47 is installed on the drain pipe 45. The drain pipe 45 allows water collected in the water receiving container 40 to be discharged. The valve 47 controls the opening and closing of the drain pipe 45. The valve can be a conventional water valve, etc., which will not be described in detail here for brevity. In this embodiment, the drain pipe 45 is located at the end of the water receiving container 40 near the shelf 50. The bottom wall of the water collecting chamber 42 is inclined, and the bottom wall of the water collecting chamber 42 gradually slopes downwards towards the drain pipe 45 to better guide the water in the water collecting chamber 42 to the drain pipe 45 for discharge.
[0034] In this embodiment, a limiting plate 46 protrudes from the top surface of the end of the water container 40 away from the shelf 50. When the water container 40 slides towards the higher end away from the water guide plate 30, the limiting plate 46 abuts against the water guide plate 30 to prevent the water container 40 from detaching from the frame and to position the water container 40 in the second position. Furthermore, a stop member 112 is fixed to the upright 11 of the frame 10 away from the shelf 50. When the water container 40 slides towards the higher end near the water guide plate 30, the limiting plate 46 abuts against the stop member 112 to position the water container 40 in the first position. The stop member 112 can be a block-shaped structure or the like.
[0035] In this embodiment, the ophthalmic multifunctional storage rack 100 is initially used with valve 47 closed. Surgical sheets that need drying are hung from the gap between the upright 11 and the crossbeam 12 onto the hooks 21 of the hanging rod 20. The hooks 21 not only facilitate the placement of surgical sheets, but also allow for the drying of more sheets at once compared to directly laying them on the hanging rod 20. If the shelf 50 is not needed, the water container 40 can be in the first position, such as... Figure 1 As shown, at this time, water dripping from the surgical drape is guided by the water guide plate 30 to the water collection channel 48 and then enters the water collection chamber 42 of the water collection container 40 from the opening of the water collection container 40 for collection. If only the shelf 50 is needed, the water collection container 40 is slid to the second position, such as... Figure 4As shown, the shelf 50 is then rotated to the unfolded position, and medical instruments such as micro-forceps, micro-scissors, and corneal puncture knives that need to be dried are placed on the shelf 50 for drying. During this process, water dripping from the medical instruments on the shelf 50 falls through the drain hole 51 into the water collection container 40 under its own gravity. If the hook 21 and the shelf 50 need to be used at the same time, the water collection container 40 needs to be slid to the second position. At this time, water dripping from the surgical drape is guided by the water guide plate 30 into the water collection container 40 for collection, and water dripping from the medical instruments on the shelf 50 can also fall through the drain hole 51 into the water collection container 40 under its own gravity, thus avoiding wetting the indoor floor and causing adverse effects such as the growth of bacteria and mold indoors. After the items have dried, they can be removed from the ophthalmic multifunctional shelf 100 for disinfection. Then, a water pipe can be connected to the drain pipe 45, and the valve 47 can be opened to drain the water from the water container 40 into a sink or similar location. Alternatively, the ophthalmic multifunctional shelf 100 can be moved to a location near a sink, and the valve 47 can be opened to drain the water from the water container 40 directly into the sink through the drain pipe 45. Furthermore, to facilitate the movement of the ophthalmic multifunctional shelf 100, casters can be installed at the bottom of the four uprights 11. The installation of casters is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0036] The structure of the water guide plate 30 and water receiving container 40 in this embodiment allows items to be dried using the same water receiving container 40, whether placed individually on the hook 21 or on the shelf 50, thus reducing costs. Furthermore, the shelf 50 can be stored in the side of the frame 10 when not in use, further reducing the space required for storing the ophthalmic multifunctional storage rack 100. The frame in this embodiment uses a structure connecting uprights 11 and crossbeams 12, with a gap between them. This not only facilitates the removal and placement of items from the hook 21 but also improves ventilation, thereby increasing the drying speed of items on the hook 21.
[0037] It is understandable that counterweights can be fixed to the bottom of the uprights 11 of the frame 10 to lower the center of gravity of the ophthalmic multifunctional storage rack 100, making it more stable and preventing it from tipping over during use. The setting of counterweights is existing technology and will not be described in detail here for the sake of brevity.
[0038] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit of the present utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the present utility model.
