Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of veterinary instrument cleaning equipment, specifically a veterinary tool cleaning device for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, the cleanliness of tools such as scalpels, forceps, and syringes is directly related to the safety of animal diagnosis and treatment. Incomplete cleaning can easily lead to cross-infection. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on ultrasonic cleaners to achieve efficient decontamination and sterilization.

[0003] However, most ultrasonic cleaners currently use cleaning baskets with a single, open frame structure. These baskets must be completely submerged in the cleaning solution after being placed in the machine to ensure effective tool cleaning. After cleaning, the operator must remove the entire basket from the machine to allow residual cleaning solution to drain from the tool surfaces. This process requires an additional container, and the dripping cleaning solution from the basket and tools easily contaminates the work surface, significantly increasing subsequent cleaning workload. This operational mode is particularly problematic in livestock and veterinary settings where multiple batches of tools need continuous cleaning; it results in low overall efficiency and is ill-suited to the practical needs of handling high-frequency tools. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a veterinary tool cleaning device for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, so as to solve the problem of the single function of the cleaning basket of traditional ultrasonic cleaning equipment mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a veterinary tool cleaning device for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, comprising an ultrasonic cleaner and a cleaning basket for supporting veterinary tools. Handles are fixedly installed at the left and right ends of the top of the cleaning basket, and a pull plate is slidably installed on the handles. A guardrail is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cleaning basket, and a flipping arm is rotatably installed at the left and right ends of the guardrail. A connecting rod is rotatably installed between the flipping arm and the pull plate. The inner wall of the ultrasonic cleaner has a step extending circumferentially to support the cleaning basket. Pulling the pull plate drives the flipping arm to flip and abut against the upper surface of the step via the connecting rod, thereby supporting the cleaning basket on the step inside the ultrasonic cleaner.

[0006] Preferably, a pair of mounting ears for accommodating the flip arm extends from the left and right ends of the bottom of the enclosure, and the two ends of the flip arm are rotatably mounted in the mounting ears.

[0007] Preferably, the flip arm has an integrally formed corner portion at its central position, and the top of the pull plate has a circular hole for accommodating the connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably sleeved at the corner portion, and the other end is rotatably sleeved in the circular hole of the pull plate.

[0008] Preferably, both ends of the flipping arm are integrally formed with a bent structure, and one side of the bent structure is used to abut against the step.

[0009] Preferably, the corners of the enclosure are rounded for a smooth transition.

[0010] Preferably, the washing basket is a frame structure with an open top, and its four side walls and bottom are provided with several gaps. The size of the gaps is adapted to the bending structure on the flip arm, and can accommodate the bending structure to pass through.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention adds a surrounding barrier, connecting rod, and flipping arm to the perimeter of the cleaning basket. Combined with a sliding pull plate on the top handle of the cleaning basket and a stepped structure on the inner wall of the ultrasonic cleaner, after cleaning, pulling the pull plate via the connecting rod causes the flipping arm to rotate around the mounting lugs at the bottom of the surrounding barrier. The bent structures at both ends of the flipping arm abut against the upper surface of the step, thus stably mounting the cleaning basket on the step inside the ultrasonic cleaner. This creates a suspended space between the bottom of the cleaning basket and the bottom of the cleaner's inner cavity, allowing residual cleaning fluid to drip off in situ. This avoids contamination from dripping liquid, simplifies the draining process, and further improves the convenience of veterinary tool cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a veterinary tool cleaning device for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, including an ultrasonic cleaner 1 and a cleaning basket 2 for carrying veterinary tools. The ultrasonic cleaner 1 is made of stainless steel and has a rectangular cleaning cavity inside that can accommodate the cleaning basket 2. Its working principle is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. Handles 3 are fixedly installed at the left and right ends of the top of the cleaning basket 2, and pull plates 5 are slidably installed on the handles 3. Enclosures 4 are fixedly installed on the side walls of the cleaning basket 2, and the corners of the enclosures 4 are rounded and smooth. Folding arms 7 are rotatably mounted on both the left and right ends of the enclosure 4. A pair of mounting ears for accommodating the folding arms 7 extend from the left and right ends of the bottom of the enclosure 4. Both ends of the folding arms 7 are rotatably mounted in the mounting ears. A connecting rod 6 is rotatably mounted between the folding arms 7 and the pull plate 5. Both ends of the connecting rod 6 have annular structures. A bend is integrally formed at the center of the folding arms 7. The top of the pull plate 5 has a circular hole for accommodating the connecting rod 6. One end of the connecting rod 6 is rotatably fitted into the bend, and the other end is rotatably fitted into the circular hole of the pull plate 5. The bend is designed to increase local weight, allowing the folding arms 7 to automatically fold downwards around the mounting ears under their own weight when the pull plate 5 is not pulled.

[0016] The inner wall of the ultrasonic cleaner 1 has a step extending circumferentially 10cm from the top to support the cleaning basket 2. Pulling the pull plate 5 drives the flip arm 7 to rotate and abut against the upper surface of the step via the connecting rod 6. Both ends of the flip arm 7 have integrally formed bent structures 8. One side of the bent structure 8 abuts against the step, supporting the cleaning basket 2 on the step inside the ultrasonic cleaner 1, creating a suspended space between the bottom of the cleaning basket 2 and the bottom of the cleaner's inner cavity. This eliminates the need to completely remove the cleaning basket 2 from the cleaner in traditional cleaning processes. Residual liquid after cleaning can drip directly back into the cleaner's inner cavity under gravity, eliminating the need for an additional container. The cleaning basket 2 is a frame structure with an open top. Several gaps are provided on its four side walls and bottom. The size of these gaps is adapted to accommodate the bent structures 8 on the flip arm 7, ensuring that the bent structures 8 can pass smoothly through the basket without interfering with the side walls of the ultrasonic cleaner 1 when the flip arm 7 is switched between its storage and support states. When not in operation, the corner of the central part of the tilting arm 7 has a larger local weight, and under its own weight, the tilting arm 7 is driven to tilt downward around the mounting ears at the bottom of the enclosure 4. The bent structures 8 at both ends pass through the gap of the washing basket 2 and are stored inside the basket without protruding outward. The pull plate 5 is in the initial position on the handle 3 under the pull of the connecting rod 6.

[0017] Working principle: Place the livestock and veterinary tools to be cleaned into the cleaning basket 2, and hold the handle 3 to vertically place the cleaning basket 2 into the rectangular cleaning chamber of the ultrasonic cleaner 1. Inject an appropriate amount of cleaning solution into the cleaning chamber of the ultrasonic cleaner 1, ensuring that the liquid level covers the tools in the cleaning basket 2. Start the ultrasonic cleaner 1. The cleaning solution flows freely through the gaps on the side walls and bottom of the cleaning basket 2, fully wetting the surface of the tools. The cavitation effect generated by the ultrasonic vibration can effectively remove blood stains and microorganisms from the tools.

[0018] After cleaning, the operator lifts the cleaning basket 2 away from the cleaning solution surface using handle 3 and pulls the pull plate 5, which moves linearly along the sliding path of handle 3. Since one end of the connecting rod 6 is rotatably connected to the circular hole of the pull plate 5 via a ring structure, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bend of the flip arm 7, the linear movement of the pull plate 5 is converted into an upward pulling force on the flip arm 7 through the connecting rod 6, driving the flip arm 7 to flip upward around the mounting lug. During the flipping process, the bent structures 8 at both ends of the flip arm 7 extend outward along the gap in the cleaning basket 2. Then, the cleaning basket 2 is gently placed on the step inside the ultrasonic cleaner 1 until the contact surface of the bent structure 8 abuts against the upper surface of the step. At this point, the cleaning basket 2 is stably mounted on the step, with a suspended space between its bottom and the bottom of the cleaner's inner cavity. After the cleaning basket 2 is raised, any residual cleaning solution on the tool surface drips directly back into the cleaner's inner cavity, eliminating the need for an additional container or lifting the cleaning basket 2 out of the cleaner, thus avoiding contamination and operational inconvenience caused by liquid dripping.

[0019] This application adds a barrier 4, a connecting rod 6, and a flipping arm 7 to the perimeter of the cleaning basket 2. Combined with the sliding pull plate 5 on the top handle 3 of the cleaning basket 2 and the stepped structure of the inner wall of the ultrasonic cleaner 1, after cleaning, the flipping arm 7 can be rotated around the mounting lug at the bottom of the barrier 4 by pulling the pull plate 5 via the connecting rod 6. The bent structures 8 at both ends of the flipping arm 7 abut against the upper surface of the step, thus stably mounting the cleaning basket 2 on the step inside the ultrasonic cleaner 1. This creates a suspended space between the bottom of the cleaning basket 2 and the bottom of the cleaner's inner cavity, allowing residual cleaning fluid to drip off in situ without completely removing the cleaning basket 2. This avoids contamination caused by liquid dripping and simplifies the draining process. Furthermore, the self-weight design of the central bend of the flipping arm 7 allows it to return to its original position after the pull plate 5 is released, further improving the convenience of veterinary tool cleaning.
