Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and nursing device technology, specifically a nursing tray cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Medical devices refer to instruments, equipment, appliances, in vitro diagnostic reagents and calibrators, materials and other similar or related items that are used directly or indirectly on the human body, including the necessary computer software. Cleaning of infection control nursing trays often requires cleaning devices to perform the cleaning operation.

[0003] For example, application number CN202323338158.3 discloses a cleaning device for an infectious disease nursing tray, relating to the field of medical and nursing device technology. It includes a main body and an adjustment mechanism located inside the main body. The adjustment mechanism includes a sliding component; the sliding component includes a threaded rod and a limiting block. The inner wall of the main body is provided with an ultraviolet lamp body for disinfecting the nursing tray. By setting the limiting block, when cleaning the infectious disease nursing tray with the cleaning device, to improve the convenience of the placement plate automatically extending from the device and the ease of picking up the tray, the drive motor can be turned on. Through the rotation of the threaded rod, the limiting block is driven to rise and fall along the outer wall of the limiting groove. The rising and falling of the limiting block drives the placement plate to rise and fall, thereby automatically extending and retracting the placement plate. This achieves improved control operation for picking up the tray when cleaning the infectious disease nursing tray with the cleaning device.

[0004] Based on the search of the aforementioned patents and the findings of existing equipment, while the aforementioned equipment can solve the problem that the cleaning of infectious disease care trays often involves directly placing them inside the device, the convenience of the automatic extension and retraction of the placement plate is not high. This means that when cleaning infectious disease care trays, medical staff need to reach into the device to retrieve the trays, which can cause hand burns, increase the tediousness of the work for medical staff, and reduce the cleaning effect and efficiency of the trays. However, during use, after the trays are cleaned and rise out of the cleaning tank, a large amount of disinfectant residue remains on the trays. To prevent the disinfectant from spreading, the trays need to remain above the cleaning tank for a period of time to allow the disinfectant to dry naturally. This process is very lengthy and seriously affects the cleaning efficiency of other trays. Utility Model Content

In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0021] Example 1 Reference Figures 1-4This is the first embodiment of the present invention, providing a nursing tray cleaning device 1, including a cleaning device 1. The cleaning device 1 includes a cleaning tank 11, a tank cover 12, a spray washing structure 13, a tray frame 14, a first motor 15, a fixing block 16, and a screw 17. The two sides of the right side of the tank cover 12 are movably connected to the two sides of the top right side of the cleaning tank 11 via hinges. The spray washing structure 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank cover 12. The tray frame 14 is located inside the cleaning tank 11. The first motor 15 is fixedly installed on the top left side of the cleaning tank 11. The fixing block 16 is fixedly installed on the bottom left side of the tray frame 14. The surface of the screw 17 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 16. The output end of the first motor 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw 17. The bottom of the screw 17 is movably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 11 via a pin. Drying assembly 2 includes a blower 21, which is fixedly installed on the back of the cleaning box 11. An air outlet pipe 22 is provided on the top of the cleaning box 11, and the output end of the blower 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the air outlet pipe 22 through a conduit. Drive mechanism 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the back of the cleaning tank 11; Heating component 4 is located at the bottom of air outlet duct 22. Drive mechanism 3 includes U-shaped frame 31, which is fixedly installed on the top of the back of cleaning box 11. Reciprocating screw 32 is provided inside U-shaped frame 31. The two sides of reciprocating screw 32 are movably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of U-shaped frame 31 through shaft pins. Slider 33 is threadedly connected to the surface of reciprocating screw 32. The back of air outlet duct 22 is fixedly connected to the front of slider 33. Second motor 34 is fixedly connected to the left side of U-shaped frame 31. The output end of second motor 34 is fixedly connected to the left side of reciprocating screw 32. Limiting components 5 are provided on both sides of the left side of slider 33. Control panel 7 is fixedly connected to the front of cleaning box 11. First motor 15, second motor 34 and blower 21 are all electrically connected to control panel 7 through wires.

[0022] Specifically, after the tray is cleaned in the cleaning box 11, it rises and comes out of the cleaning box 11. First, the drying component 2 is activated so that the tray is blown by strong wind. Then, the drive mechanism 3 is activated so that the drying component 2 reciprocates and the strong wind sweeps and blows on the tray, so that the tray is dried quickly and evenly.

[0023] Furthermore, the second motor 34 and blower 21 are started via the control panel 7. The blower 21 transmits airflow to the air outlet pipe 22 through the duct, allowing strong air to blow onto the tray in the tray frame 14. Then, the second motor 34 drives the reciprocating screw 32 to rotate, and the slider 33 moves along the trajectory of the reciprocating screw 32, causing the air outlet pipe 22 to move back and forth, thereby sweeping and blowing strong air onto the tray, thus making the tray dry quickly and evenly.

[0024] Example 2 In the second embodiment of this utility model, the heating component 4 includes a mounting frame 41, which is located at the bottom of the air outlet duct 22. The back of the mounting frame 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front of the slider 33. An electric heating wire 42 is provided inside the mounting frame 41. The two ends of the electric heating wire 42 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the inner wall of the mounting frame 41. A plurality of electric heating wires 42 are provided and are distributed at equal distances.

[0025] Specifically, heating element 4 is used to heat the strong air, thereby accelerating the drying of the disinfectant on the tray and further improving the drying efficiency of the tray.

[0026] Furthermore, when the airflow delivered by the blower 21 passes through the mounting frame 41, it simultaneously supplies power to the heating wire 42 inside the mounting frame 41, causing the heating wire 42 to generate heat energy. As a result, when the strong air passes through the heating wire 42, it is heated to form a hot airflow, thereby accelerating the evaporation of the residual liquid on the tray.

[0027] Example 3 In the third embodiment of this utility model, the limiting component 5 includes a limiting groove 51, which is opened on both sides of the left side of the slider 33. A limiting rod 52 is provided inside the limiting groove 51. The two sides of the limiting rod 52 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 31. A linear bearing 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 51. The inner wall of the linear bearing 6 is slidably connected to the surface of the limiting rod 52.

[0028] Specifically, when the air outlet duct 22 is driven by the drive mechanism 3 to move back and forth, the limiting component 5 moves along with it, thereby providing a constraint limit for the drive mechanism 3, so that the air outlet duct 22 can move back and forth in a stable direction.

[0029] Furthermore, when the slider 33 moves along the trajectory of the reciprocating lead screw 32, the limiting groove 51 slides synchronously along the trajectory of the limiting rod 52. Thus, through the cooperation between the limiting rod 52 and the limiting groove 51, the rotational movement of the slider 33 around the reciprocating lead screw 32 is restricted, ensuring that the slider 33 only moves linearly back and forth along the axial direction of the reciprocating lead screw 32. At the same time, during this process, the linear bearing 6 replaces the direct contact between the limiting rod 52 and the limiting groove 51, thereby making the sliding of the limiting rod 52 and the limiting groove 51 smoother and reducing wear.

[0030] Working principle: When the tray needs cleaning, first place the tray into the tray rack 14. Then, start the first motor 15 via the control panel 7 to drive the screw 17 to rotate, causing the fixing block 16 to lower the tray rack 14 into the cleaning tank 11. Next, close the tank lid 12 and activate the spray cleaning structure 13 to spray disinfectant onto the tray, thus achieving cleaning. After cleaning, open the tank lid 12 and start the first motor 15 in reverse, driving the screw 17 to rotate in reverse, causing the fixing block 16 to raise the tray rack 14, removing it from the cleaning tank 11. Then, simultaneously start the second motor 34 and the blower 21 via the control panel 7. The blower 21 transmits airflow through the duct to the air outlet duct 22, blowing strong air onto the trays in the tray rack 14. This synchronization ensures safety. The heating wire 42 inside the frame 41 is powered to generate heat. When the strong air passes through the heating wire 42, it is heated to form a hot airflow, thus accelerating the evaporation of residual liquid on the tray. Then, the second motor 34 drives the reciprocating screw 32 to rotate, and the slider 33 moves back and forth along the trajectory of the reciprocating screw 32. At this time, the limiting groove 51 slides synchronously along the trajectory of the limiting rod 52. Through the cooperation of the limiting rod 52 and the limiting groove 51, the rotational movement of the slider 33 around the reciprocating screw 32 is restricted, ensuring that the slider 33 only moves in a straight line along the axial direction of the reciprocating screw 32. This allows the strong air to sweep and blow on the tray, ultimately drying the tray quickly and evenly. This achieves the purpose of rapid drying after tray cleaning, thus providing the advantage of auxiliary drying.

[0031] In summary, this nursing tray cleaning device, through the drying component 2, allows strong airflow to be blown onto the tray after it rises through the tray frame 14 and exits the cleaning tank 11, thus quickly drying the tray. This solves the problem that after the tray is cleaned and rises out of the cleaning tank, a large amount of disinfectant residue remains on the tray. To prevent the disinfectant from scattering, the tray needs to remain above the cleaning tank for a period of time to allow the disinfectant to air dry naturally, which is a very long process and seriously affects the cleaning efficiency of other trays.
