Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to an orthopedic electric drill live cleaning tank that effectively suppresses aerosols. Background Technology

[0002] As a core tool in orthopedic surgery, the quality of postoperative cleaning of orthopedic drills directly affects sterilization effectiveness and the risk of hospital-acquired infections. Current technologies generally employ live-line cleaning, where the drill bit remains electrically powered during the cleaning process to enhance efficiency. However, this method has a significant technical drawback—the risk of aerosol contamination, specifically as follows:

[0003] Existing cleaning devices (such as the medical orthopedic electric drill cleaning device with brush disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN209647060U) include a cylindrical container, a protective partition, and a brushing device. The cylindrical container has an opening at the top, and a ring-shaped protrusion parallel to the bottom surface of the container is provided on the inner wall 2 cm below the top of the cylindrical container. The protective partition is set on the inner side of the top of the cylindrical container and is detachably installed on the protrusion. A cleaning hole is provided in the center of the protective partition for immersing and brushing the drill bit. The brushing device includes a columnar base and a special cleaning brush. The columnar base is vertically fixed in the center of the bottom surface of the cylindrical container and is positioned directly below the cleaning hole. The lower end of the special cleaning brush is vertically inserted into the hollow column. In this prior art, a protective baffle is placed on top of a cylindrical container to reduce aerosol generation. However, in the actual cleaning process of drill bits, it is difficult to effectively prevent aerosol generation. First, because in this solution, the drill bit protective baffle cannot avoid contact with the drill bit during the cleaning process, and the vibration of the drill bit is transmitted to the vibration of the protective baffle. In addition, there is a gap between the drill bit and the cleaning hole set on the baffle. Firstly, the liquid on the surface is easily vibrated and generates aerosols. Secondly, the aerosols generated by the rotation of the drill bit in the cylindrical container cannot be prevented from escaping through the cleaning hole. Secondly, when the drill bit is cleaned in the cylindrical container, the vibration generated by its high-speed rotation is also transmitted to the vibration of the entire container, causing the cleaning fluid in it to vibrate and generate a large amount of aerosols.

[0004] The aforementioned existing patented technologies propose solutions for aerosol blocking, but in practice, it is difficult to achieve a more ideal suppression of aerosol generation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model embodiment is to provide an orthopedic electric drill live cleaning tank that effectively suppresses aerosols, which can effectively suppress the generation of aerosols when the orthopedic electric drill is cleaning.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an effective aerosol-suppressing orthopedic drill cleaning tank, comprising a tank body, a brush, and a silicone cover. The brush is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the tank body, and the silicone cover is fixedly fitted onto the opening of the tank body. The silicone cover has an opening at its center for inserting an orthopedic drill bit. The surface of the silicone cover has several concentric deformable rings 21. The bottom of the tank body has a support base 11, which is integrally formed with the tank body, and the portion of its top placed inside the tank body constitutes the bottom surface. The bottom surface has an upward stepped surface 112, and a deformable elastic cavity 111 is formed between the bottom surface, the stepped surface 112, and the side of the support base. The several concentric deformable rings 21 are used to match the shape of the orthopedic drill bit, and both the concentric deformable rings 21 and the deformable elastic cavity 111 are used to buffer the vibration generated by the orthopedic drill bit during the cleaning process.

The bottom has an upward stepped surface, the mounting base is fixedly installed on the stepped surface, the plug rod is a hollow structure and is fixedly installed on the surface of the mounting base, and the brush is fixedly inserted into the top of the plug rod.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this application, the mounting base includes a fixed plate and a mounting column. The fixed plate is fixedly installed on the surface of the stepped surface by bolts and nuts. The top of the mounting column has a support nut, and the surface of the insertion rod has external threads for threaded engagement with the support nut for fixation.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this application, the lower part of the brush has a fixing rod that is fixedly inserted into the top of the insert rod.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this application, the top of the brush is at least the same height as the opening.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this application, the height of the plurality of concentric deformable rings gradually decreases towards the opening.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this application, the silicone cover has a cover ring, and the outer edge of the cover ring has an opening handle.

The silicone cover deforms to match the orthopedic drill bit, preventing aerosol leakage during high-speed rotation. Furthermore, the base design further reduces vibration and buffers the load-bearing pressure generated by the brush during use, preventing aerosol diffusion caused by liquid surface disturbance.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 The schematic diagram shown illustrates an orthopedic electric drill live cleaning tank that effectively suppresses aerosols according to this embodiment, comprising a tank body 1, a silicone cover 2, a brush 3, and a brush fixing mechanism 4.

[0024] The brush 3 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface inside the tank 1 by the brush fixing mechanism 4, and the silicone cap 2 is fixedly fitted onto the opening of the tank 1.

[0025] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the brush fixing mechanism 4 includes a mounting base 41 and a plug rod 42, while the bottom of the tank 1 has a support base 11.

[0026] The support base 11 has a deformable elastic inner cavity 111 at the bottom and a stepped surface 112 at the top center. The support base 11 and the tank body 1 are integrally formed, and the part of the top of the support base 11 placed inside the tank body constitutes the bottom surface of the tank body.

[0027] The mounting base 41 has a T-shaped structure. Specifically, the mounting base 41 includes a fixing plate 411 and a mounting post 412. The fixing plate 411 is fixedly installed on the surface of the step by bolts 413 and nuts 414. In order to prevent leakage, a sealing ring can be added. The mounting post 412 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 411, and a support nut 415 is provided on the top of the mounting post 412. The insertion rod 42 has external threads and is fixedly connected to the support nut 415 by thread engagement.

[0028] The insert rod 42 has a hollow structure, and the brush 3 has a fixing rod 31 that is fixedly inserted into the top of the insert rod 42, so that the brush 3 is fixedly set in the middle of the bottom surface of the tank 1.

[0029] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the silicone cover 2 has several concentric deformable rings 21, and the center of the silicone cover 2 has an opening 22. The orthopedic electric drill bit to be cleaned is inserted into the tank 1 through the insertion opening 22.

[0030] Even better, the height of several concentric deformable rings 21 gradually decreases towards the opening, allowing the drippings generated during drill bit removal and residual cleaning fluid on their surface to flow back into the tank. The number of concentric deformable rings 21 is at least two.

[0031] The opening 22 can be deformed according to the shape and size of the inserted drill bit to tightly wrap the cleaning part.

[0032] To facilitate the insertion of the orthopedic drill bit into the can, and to facilitate the insertion of the brush 3 into the drill hole of the orthopedic drill bit, the top of the brush 3 should be at least the same height as the opening 22.

[0033] To facilitate opening the silicone cap 2 from the can 1, the silicone cap 2 has a cap ring 23, and the outer edge of the cap ring has an opening handle 24.

[0034] In this embodiment, the side wall of the tank 1 is marked with graduation 113 to facilitate quantitative control of the cleaning fluid inside.

[0035] When using this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the drill bit portion of the orthopedic drill bit 5 is placed into the opening 22 of the silicone cover 2, and at the same time, the brush 3 is inserted into the drill hole of the orthopedic drill bit. Through the elastic deformation of the silicone cover 2 and the fitting effect of several concentric deformation rings 21, the opening 22 fits well against the body of the orthopedic drill bit 5, that is, it is used to match the shape of the orthopedic electric drill bit. When the orthopedic drill bit is opened for cleaning, the several concentric deformation rings 21 also isolate the vibration generated by the orthopedic drill bit during cleaning, and prevent the liquid in the tank 1 from vibrating significantly.

[0036] During the cleaning process described above, the bottom surface has an upward stepped surface 112. The bottom surface, the stepped surface 112, and the side of the support base form a two-stage deformable elastic cavity 111. The support base 11 and the stepped surface 112 also have the ability to deform elastically during vibration, preventing the vibration of the brush 3 inserted into the drill bit hole from causing large-scale vibration of the cleaning fluid in the tank 1. Furthermore, during the cleaning process, when the orthopedic drill bit is inserted too deeply into the brush, causing some of the force to be borne on the brush, the support base 11 and the stepped surface 112 can partially cushion the downward deformation, thus protecting the structure of the brush and the internal structure of the drill bit.

[0037] During the cleaning process described above, the vibration isolation of the silicone cap 2, the support seat 11, and the deformable elastic cavity 111 formed by the stepped surface 112 buffer the supporting force and the vibration of the cleaning process, thereby effectively reducing the vibration of the cleaning fluid. Furthermore, due to the elastic deformation of the silicone cap 2, which adheres to the side of the orthopedic drill bit, the aerosol generated during the cleaning process is confined within the tank 1, preventing aerosol leakage during high-speed rotation and making the operation safer.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
