Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical waste treatment equipment technology, and in particular to a discharge gate mechanism for a disinfection chamber and a medical waste treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] Medical waste refers to waste generated by medical and health institutions at all levels during the course of medical diagnosis, disease prevention, health care services, and other related operations, which possesses direct or indirect infectiousness, toxicity, and other potential hazards. With the continuous growth of the total number of medical and health institutions, the number of hospital beds, and the number of patients receiving medical services in my country, the amount of medical waste generated has shown a significant upward trend. Because this type of waste carries pathogenic microorganisms and infectious substances, improper disposal will pose a significant threat to public health and safety. The current mainstream centralized disposal model has revealed obvious limitations in actual operation: remote areas and small rural medical institutions, due to their dispersed geographical locations and small waste generation volumes, face problems such as high logistics and transportation costs and excessively long collection and transportation cycles, which may exacerbate the risk of pathogen transmission. In comparison, in-situ disinfection technology is more suitable for the actual needs of small medical institutions such as clinics and health stations.

[0003] Current medical waste treatment equipment mainly consists of a disinfection chamber and a discharge gate. In practice, it has been found that waste tends to stick to the discharge gate after the treatment process, requiring manual cleaning. If not addressed promptly, the discharge gate may fail to close properly. However, existing technology presents two major drawbacks: firstly, safety risks, as manually cleaning clogged discharge ports forces operators to enter the medical waste disposal room, exposing them to sources of infection; secondly, poor reliability, as clogged discharge ports cause equipment downtime, and reliance on manual intervention prevents fully automated closed-loop operation and results in low operational efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a discharge gate mechanism for the disinfection chamber to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a discharge gate mechanism for a disinfection chamber and a medical waste treatment device, which effectively solves the problems of existing discharge gate mechanisms requiring manual operation for discharge and cleaning, resulting in safety risks and low operating efficiency.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] According to a first aspect of this utility model, a discharge door mechanism for a disinfection chamber is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the discharge gate mechanism for the disinfection chamber is used on the disinfection chamber 5 of the medical waste treatment device. The discharge gate mechanism for the disinfection chamber includes a mounting frame 1, a lifting component 2, and a pushing component 3.

[0026] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 6 The detailed structure of the mounting bracket 1, lifting assembly 2, and pushing assembly 3 of the discharge gate mechanism for the disinfection chamber is described in detail. Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments, as... Figure 1 As shown, it also involves three directions: the first direction S1, the second direction S2, and the third direction S3. The first direction S1 can be understood as the vertical direction, the second direction S2 can be understood as, for example, the front-back direction, and the third direction S3 can be understood as the horizontal direction. The first direction S1, the second direction S2, and the third direction S3 can be perpendicular to each other.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting frame 1 is installed on the outer wall of the disinfection chamber 5, and the installation method can be a threaded connection. The lifting component 2 and the pushing component 3 can be set on the outer wall of the disinfection chamber 5 through the mounting frame 1. The disinfection chamber 5 has a discharge port 501 for discharging the treated medical waste residue. The lifting component 2 includes a first door plate 201, which is slidably disposed on the mounting frame 1 along the first direction S1. The first door plate 201 can block the discharge port 501, and the size of the first door plate 201 is larger than the discharge port 501 to achieve a better blocking effect. The pushing component 3 includes a second door plate 301, the shape of which corresponds to the discharge port 501. The second door plate 301 can move along the second direction S2 to approach or move away from the discharge port 501.

[0028] Furthermore, the second door plate 301 can move along a second direction S2 perpendicular to the discharge port 501 to push and clean up the slag. Since some slag accumulates and adheres to the area around the discharge port 501 during the discharge process, resulting in poor discharge efficiency, the movable second door plate 301 is used to clean the discharge port 501, ensuring smooth discharge.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the discharge gate mechanism of the disinfection chamber is currently in the closed state on the disinfection chamber 5, and the material residue cannot be discharged. The second door plate 301 extends to prevent the discharge port 501 from being blocked, and the first door plate 201 falls down to block the discharge port 501. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the discharge gate mechanism of the disinfection chamber is in the open state on the disinfection chamber 5 at this time, which can discharge the slag. The second door plate 301 retracts, the first door plate 201 is raised, and the discharge port 501 is opened.

[0030] The discharge gate mechanism of the disinfection chamber, through the cooperation of the mounting frame 1, the lifting component 2 and the pushing component 3, uses the first door plate 201 to block or open the discharge port 501, and the second door plate 301 to clear the blockage of the discharge port 501. It can realize the mechanical automatic operation of the discharge of the disinfection chamber 5 without manual operation, which solves the safety hazards caused by the manual operation required in the original device. At the same time, since the entire discharge gate mechanism of the disinfection chamber is mechanically automatic, the entire discharge process is fully automatic and non-contact, which significantly improves the processing efficiency and reliability while eliminating the risk of personnel infection.

[0031] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a through hole 202 is provided in the middle of the first door panel 201 for the second door panel 301 to pass through. The second door panel 301 passes through the through hole 202 along a second direction S2 to approach or move away from the discharge port 501. The second door panel 301 is disposed on the first door panel 201 to move with the first door panel 201 along a first direction S1. When the discharge port 501 needs to be cleaned or is in a closed state, the second door panel 301 passes through the first door panel 201 along the second direction S2 and contacts the side wall of the discharge port 501. When the discharge port 501 is opened, the second door panel 301 retracts and approaches the first door panel 201. During the process of the first door panel 201 rising, the second door panel 301 moves together with the first door panel 201.

[0032] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting component 2 may further include a first driving member 203 and a first fixing plate 204. The first fixing plate 204 is disposed on the outer wall of the disinfection chamber 5 and is used to fix the first driving member 203. The first driving member 203 may be, for example, a cylinder or an electric telescopic rod, and the structure of the first fixing plate 204 may be, for example, as follows: Figure 1 or Figure 6As shown, but not limited to, the structure of the first fixed plate 204 can be specifically selected according to the model of the first driving member 203. The two ends of the first driving member 203 are respectively connected to the first fixed plate 204 and the first door panel 201. By extending and retracting the first driving member 203, the first door panel 201 is driven to rise or fall.

[0033] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the pushing assembly 3 may further include a second driving member 302, a second fixing plate 303, and a guide post 304. The second driving member 302 is disposed on the second fixing plate 303. The second driving member 302 can also be, for example, a cylinder or an electric telescopic rod. The second fixing plate 303 is used to fix the second driving member 302 through it. The second driving member 302 is connected to the second door panel 301, and the guide post 304 is disposed between the second fixing plate 303 and the second door panel 301. The guide post 304 can assist the extension and retraction of the second driving member 302, prevent deviation, and ensure that the second door panel 301 can be correctly aligned with the discharge port 501.

[0034] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the pushing assembly 3 may further include a third fixing plate 305. The size of the third fixing plate 305 is larger than the size of the discharge port 501, and the size of the third fixing plate 305 is also larger than the size of the through hole 202. Thus, the third fixing plate 305 can act as a limiting member to prevent the second driving member 302 from detaching from the first door panel 201. The second driving member 302 and the guide post 304 are connected to the second door panel 301 through the third fixing plate 305. The third fixing plate 305 is disposed at the end of the first door panel 201 near the second driving member 302, so that the second driving member 302 is always at one end of the first door panel 201. The second door panel 301 and the second driving member 302 are disposed opposite each other at both ends of the first door panel 201 in the second direction S2.

[0035] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the pushing assembly 3 may further include a limiting pin 306. The third fixing plate 305 has a through groove at its end in the third direction S3. One end of the limiting pin 306 is connected to the second fixing plate 303, and the other end of the limiting pin 306 passes through the through groove. The limiting pin 306 serves to guide the third fixing plate 305 and, in conjunction with the unlocking assembly 4 described below, unlocks and locks the first door panel 201 during lifting and lowering.

[0036] Preferably, in the embodiment, sealing strips can be provided at the movement and connection points of the pusher assembly 3 as needed. The sealing strips can play a buffering role and prevent small foreign objects from affecting the sealing of the discharge gate.

[0037] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, in the embodiment, the third fixing plate 305 has multiple through grooves. Since each of the following unlocking components 4 is provided at the left and right ends of the third fixing plate 305, multiple through grooves are provided on both the left and right end faces of the third fixing plate 305. Correspondingly, there are multiple limiting pins 306, and the multiple limiting pins 306 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple through grooves.

[0038] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the discharge door mechanism for the disinfection chamber may further include an unlocking component 4. The unlocking component 4 may include a blocking block 401, which passes through the side wall of the mounting frame 1 along the third direction S3. The blocking block 401 is disposed between two adjacent limiting pins 306 in the first direction S1. Thus, only when the blocking block 401 moves away from the two adjacent limiting pins 306 in the first direction S1 can the first door panel 201 be raised and lowered to achieve the unlocking and locking effect, preventing accidental opening of the discharge port 501.

[0039] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the unlocking component 4 may further include a fourth fixing plate 402 and a third driving member 403. The third driving member 403 may also be, for example, a cylinder or an electric telescopic rod. The fourth fixing plate 402 is disposed on the side wall of the mounting bracket 1, and the third driving member 403 is disposed on the fourth fixing plate 402 and connected to the blocking block 401. The fourth fixing plate 402 may be, for example, a fixing bracket, used for the installation and insertion of the third driving member 403. The output end of the third driving member 403 is connected to the blocking block 401. The fixing bracket may also be provided with a position switch, etc., to detect whether the blocking block 401 has moved into position or retracted into position.

[0040] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment, a heat-resistant plate 6 is also provided between the third fixing plate 305 and the second door plate 301 to prevent overheating at the third fixing plate 305 from damaging the other components.

[0041] Furthermore, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the fixed connections, settings, installations, and fixing methods mentioned above can be threaded connections, welding, or sliding connections using slide rails and grooves. Since these connection methods are commonly used by those skilled in the art, they will not be elaborated upon in the description of the embodiments.

[0042] The movement process of the discharge gate mechanism for the disinfection chamber is as follows: During the operation of the disinfection chamber 5, the discharge gate mechanism for the disinfection chamber is in the following position: Figure 1 In the closed state shown, the second door panel 301 extends to prevent the discharge port 501 from being blocked, while the first door panel 201 falls to block the discharge port 501. In cases where it is necessary to remove slag, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second door panel 301 retracts, the first door panel 201 rises, and the discharge port 501 is opened.

[0043] The discharge gate mechanism of this disinfection chamber, through the cooperation of the mounting frame, lifting component and pushing component, uses the first door plate to block or open the discharge port and the second door plate to clear the blockage of the discharge port. It can realize the mechanical automatic operation of the disinfection chamber discharge without manual operation, which solves the safety hazards caused by the manual operation required in the original device. At the same time, since the entire discharge gate mechanism of this disinfection chamber is mechanically automatic, the entire discharge process is fully automatic and non-contact, which significantly improves the processing efficiency and reliability while eliminating the risk of personnel infection.

[0044] Furthermore, according to a second aspect of the present invention, a medical waste treatment device is provided, the medical waste treatment device including the discharge gate mechanism for the disinfection chamber as described above.
