All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
Referring to fig. 1-7, the present invention provides an ultrasonic probe sterilizer 100, which comprises a housing 1, a transparent support 2, an ultraviolet light source 3, a sliding device 4 and a light bin 5.
The shell 1 is provided with an accommodating space 10 and an inlet 110; the housing 1 may be an integral structure or a split structure.
For example, in the present embodiment, the housing 1 has a split structure, and includes a lower housing 11 and an upper housing 12 covered on the lower housing 11 to jointly enclose the accommodating space 10; the lower case 11 includes a bottom plate 111 and an extension wall 112 extending from the bottom plate 111 in a direction approaching the upper case 12, and the inlet 110 is provided through the extension wall 112.
The transparent support frame 2 and the sliding device 4 are respectively accommodated in the accommodating space 10; specifically, the transparent support frame 2 is supported by the bottom plate 111, the sliding device 4 is installed on the bottom plate 111, and the ultraviolet light source 3 is installed on the light bin 5.

In this embodiment, the ultraviolet light source 3 is configured to generate ultraviolet light, and the generated ultraviolet light transmits through the transparent support 2 and disinfects an ultrasonic probe to be disinfected, which is placed in the transparent support 2.
It is worth mentioning that the ultraviolet disinfection technology is based on modern epidemic prevention, medicine and photodynamics, and utilizes specially designed high-efficiency, high-intensity and long-life deep ultraviolet light of UVC wave band to irradiate the object to be disinfected, so as to kill various bacteria, viruses, parasites and other pathogens on the object to be disinfected directly. Among them, the ultraviolet absorption and photochemical sensitivity ranges of the ultraviolet light band coincide with those of deoxyribonucleic acid in the microbial cell nucleus, so that the sterilization effect by using the deep ultraviolet light of the ultraviolet light band is best. The sterilization process of the ultraviolet sterilization technology is a physical destruction process, so that no side crop is generated, the sterilization process is not influenced by chemical balance conditions such as temperature, concentration, activity and the like, the sterilization process is nontoxic, residue and peculiar smell are avoided, the cell walls and the virus protein shells of all bacteria have no shielding capability to ultraviolet rays, deep ultraviolet light in the UVC wave band causes unified destruction to DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), medicines are not required to be replaced, and the sterilization technology is particularly suitable for sterilizing the surfaces of air, water and objects. The sterilization principle of deep ultraviolet light (namely, ultraviolet light with the wavelength of 240-280 nm) is different from that of shallow ultraviolet light (namely, ultraviolet light with the wavelength of 320-400 nm), and the sterilization capability of the deep ultraviolet light exceeds that of the shallow ultraviolet light by thousands times under the same irradiation dose by destroying the protein of bacteria to kill the bacteria.
In order to ensure the disinfection effect of the ultrasonic probe sterilizer 100, the ultraviolet light source 3 is selected as a deep ultraviolet LED lamp bead, and under the condition of power-on operation, the ultraviolet light source can generate deep ultraviolet light in UVC wave band (namely, the wavelength is 240-280 nm), the deep ultraviolet light in UVC wave band is also called short wave sterilization ultraviolet light, has extremely strong sterilization and disinfection capability, can cause growth cell death and/or regeneration cell death by destroying the molecular structure of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the microorganism organism cells, and can kill bacteria and viruses in an irradiation area.
