Referring to fig. 1-7, the present invention provides an ultrasonic probe sterilizer 100, which includes a housing 1, a transparent support frame 2, an ultraviolet light source 3, a sliding device 4 and a light chamber 5.

The housing 1 has a receiving space 10 and is provided with an inlet 110; the housing 1 may be an integral structure or a separate structure.

For example, in the present embodiment, the housing 1 is a separate structure, and includes a lower housing 11 and an upper housing 12 covering the lower housing 11 and enclosing 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 disposed 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 on 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 cabin 5.

It is worth mentioning that, in order to improve the operation safety of the ultrasonic probe sterilizer 100, the housing 1 may be additionally provided with a light shielding cover 13 at one end for placing the ultrasonic probe to be sterilized; the light shielding cover 13 is disposed on the entrance 110, and in this embodiment, the light shielding cover 13 is hinged to the extending wall 112 and completely covers the entrance 110; before disinfection, the shading cover 13 is completely covered on the inlet 110, so that foreign matters are prevented from entering the transparent support frame 2 from the inlet 110, and external dust and bacteria are prevented from being attached to the transparent support frame 2, thereby effectively ensuring the sanitary condition of the transparent support frame 2; in the disinfection process, the light shielding cover 13 can relatively rotate around a hinged point, when the ultrasonic probe to be disinfected is placed, the light shielding cover 13 is opened so that the ultrasonic probe to be disinfected enters the transparent support frame 2 from the inlet 110, after the placement is finished, the light shielding cover 13 is closed, at the moment, the transparent support frame 2 is isolated from the outside by the light shielding cover 13, a relatively independent disinfection environment is provided for the ultrasonic probe disinfector 100, the influence of the outside on the disinfection process is avoided, the falling of the ultrasonic probe to be disinfected in the disinfection process is avoided, the reliability of disinfection is improved, meanwhile, the ultrasonic probe to be disinfected is effectively protected, in addition, the adverse influence caused by the exposure of ultraviolet light is also avoided, and the safety of the ultrasonic probe disinfector 100 is improved.

In this embodiment, the ultraviolet light source 3 is configured to generate ultraviolet light, and the generated ultraviolet light penetrates through the transparent support frame 2 and disinfects the ultrasonic probe to be disinfected, which is placed in the transparent support frame 2.

It is worth mentioning that the ultraviolet light disinfection technology is based on modern epidemic prevention science, medicine and photodynamics, and utilizes the 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 directly kill various bacteria, viruses, parasites and other pathogens on the object to be disinfected. Among them, the UVC band coincides with the ultraviolet absorption and photochemical sensitivity range of deoxyribonucleic acid in the cell nucleus of the microorganism, so that the sterilization and disinfection effect using the deep ultraviolet light of the UVC band is the best. The sterilization process of the ultraviolet light sterilization technology is a physical destruction process, so that no by-product is generated, the sterilization process is not influenced by chemical equilibrium conditions such as temperature, concentration and activity, and the sterilization process is nontoxic, residue-free and odor-free, the cell walls and the virus protein shells of all bacteria have no shielding capacity on ultraviolet rays, the deep ultraviolet light of the UVC waveband causes unified destruction on DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), medicines do not need to be replaced, a combined medicament does not need to be used, and the ultraviolet light sterilization technology is particularly suitable for surface sterilization of air, water and objects. The sterilization principle of deep ultraviolet light (i.e. ultraviolet light with the wavelength of 240-280 nm) is different from that of light ultraviolet light (i.e. ultraviolet light with the wavelength of 320-400 nm), the light ultraviolet light kills bacteria by destroying proteins of the bacteria, and the sterilization capability of the deep ultraviolet light exceeds that of the light ultraviolet light by thousands of times under the same irradiation dose.

In order to ensure the disinfection effect of the ultrasonic probe disinfector 100, the ultraviolet light source 3 is selected from a deep ultraviolet LED lamp bead, and under the condition of power-on operation, the ultraviolet light source can generate deep ultraviolet light with a UVC wave band (i.e. with a wavelength of 240-280 nm), the deep ultraviolet light with the UVC wave band is also called short wave sterilization ultraviolet light, and the ultraviolet light has extremely strong sterilization and disinfection capability, can cause growth cell death and (or) regenerative cell death by destroying the molecular structure of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid) in microbial organism cells, and can kill bacteria and viruses in an irradiation area.

The sliding device 4 comprises a sliding plate 41 in sliding connection with the housing 1 and a sliding driving mechanism 42 fixed to the housing 1, wherein the sliding driving mechanism 42 is connected with the sliding plate 41 to drive the sliding plate 41 to slide relatively with respect to the housing 1; the optical bin 5 is of a hollow structure and is supported on the sliding plate 41, the transparent support frame 2 is accommodated in the optical bin 5 and extends along the sliding direction of the sliding plate 41, and the transparent support frame 2 and the optical bin 5 are spaced from each other; the ultraviolet light source 3 is fixed on the inner side surface of the light cabin 5 and enables ultraviolet light generated by the ultraviolet light source to completely cover the transparent support frame 2.

It should be noted that the slide driving mechanism is a reciprocating mechanism, and the specific structural form thereof is indefinite, for example, in the present embodiment, the slide driving mechanism 42 is an eccentric reciprocating mechanism, and the slide driving mechanism 42 includes a slide driving motor 421 fixed to the housing 1, a rotary plate 422 provided perpendicular to and fixed to an output shaft of the slide driving motor 421, and a connecting rod 423; one end of the connecting rod 423 is hinged to the rotary table 422 and is spaced from the output shaft of the sliding driving motor 421, and the other end thereof is hinged to the sliding plate 41; the sliding driving motor 421 drives the rotary disc 422 to rotate, and drives the connecting rod 423 to reciprocate through a hinge point 4220 of the rotary disc 422, so that the sliding plate 41 slides relative to the housing 1.

Further, the position of the hinge point 4220 on the rotary disc 422 is not limited, which may be determined according to the actual situation, for example, in the present embodiment, the hinge point 4220 connecting the connecting rod 423 with the rotary disc 422 is located at the edge of the rotary disc 422.

Of course, another alternative embodiment may be adopted, in which the slide driving mechanism is a linear reciprocating mechanism, and the slide driving mechanism (not shown) includes a cylinder fixed to the housing and a pneumatic rod extending from the cylinder to the slide plate and connected to the slide plate; the air cylinder drives the pneumatic rod to reciprocate so as to drive the sliding plate to slide relative to the shell.

In the above structure, when the sliding device 4 is in a static state, the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light source 3 is a point light source, and when the sliding driving mechanism 42 drives the sliding plate 41 and the housing 1 to slide relatively, the ultraviolet light source 3 slides along the sliding plate 41 to drive the ultraviolet light source 3 to slide along the sliding direction of the sliding plate 41, so that the point light source in the static state extends along the sliding direction to form a line light source, and the line light source uniformly irradiates the ultraviolet light at each position of the ultrasonic probe to be disinfected, thereby effectively achieving comprehensive disinfection, improving disinfection efficiency, and achieving a good disinfection effect; in addition, the dynamic sterilization process prevents damage due to long-time irradiation of the same position, compared to the static sterilization process in the related art, so that the reliability of sterilization is high, thereby ensuring the reliability of use of the ultrasonic probe sterilizer 100.

In order to further improve the sterilization effect of the ultrasonic probe sterilizer 100, a rotation bracket 61 fixed to the slide plate 41 and a rotation driving motor 62 fixed to the slide plate 41 may be additionally provided.

The optical chamber 5 is supported by the rotating bracket 61 and forms a rotating connection, that is, the rotating bracket 61 and the rotating driving motor 62 form a rotating device 6 together with the optical chamber 5; the optical bin 5 is of a hollow cylindrical structure, the rotary driving motor 62 is connected with the optical bin 5 to drive the optical bin 5 to rotate along the axis of the optical bin 5, and the sliding direction of the sliding plate 41 is parallel to the axis of the optical bin 5.

For example, as an alternative embodiment, the connecting portion 52 is a gear, the rotary driving motor 62 is engaged with the connecting portion 52 through a driving gear thereof to realize gear transmission, the driving gear drives the connecting portion 52 to rotate to realize gear transmission, and the connecting portion 52 transmits the rotary motion to the optical chamber body 51 fixed thereto to realize rotation of the optical chamber body 51; of course, as another alternative embodiment, it is also possible that the connecting portion is a belt pulley, and in this case, the driving belt pulley of the rotary driving motor is connected with the connecting portion through a belt to realize belt transmission, so as to realize rotation of the light cabin body.

Further, the optical chamber body 51 includes a first optical chamber body 511 supported by the rotating bracket 61 and having a hollow structure, and a second optical chamber body 512 extending from an end of the first optical chamber body 511 close to the inlet 110 to the direction of the inlet 110, wherein the connecting portion 52 is sleeved on an end of the first optical chamber body 511 away from the second optical chamber body 512; the inner diameter of the second optical bin body 512 is larger than the inner diameter of the first optical bin body 511.

The rotating bracket 61 is used for providing a rotating support for the optical bin 5, and includes a bracket body 611 fixed on the housing 1 and perpendicular to the axis of the first optical bin body 511, and a through opening 610 penetrating through the bracket body 611, and the rotating bracket 61 is sleeved on the first optical bin body 511 through the through opening 610 and forms a rotating connection with the first optical bin body 511.

It should be noted that the number of the rotating brackets 61 is not limited, and may be specifically set according to actual situations, for example, in the present embodiment, the rotating brackets 61 include two, two of the rotating brackets 61 are arranged in parallel and at an interval, and the two rotating brackets 61 respectively support the first optical silo body 511.

In the above structure, the rotation driving motor 62 drives the light cabin 5 to rotate through the connecting portion 52, so as to drive the ultraviolet light source 3 to rotate around the axis of the light cabin 5, and the rotation motion causes the point light source to rotate around the axis to form a linear light source. When the sliding device 4 and the rotating device 6 are jointly started, the ultraviolet light source 3 relatively slides along the sliding direction of the sliding plate 41 and simultaneously rotates around the axis of the light cabin 5, so that the point light source in a standing state is formed into a spiral line light source around the axis of the light cabin 5, and the spiral line light source enables ultraviolet light to more uniformly irradiate all positions of the ultrasonic probe to be disinfected, further improves the disinfection efficiency, and enables the disinfection effect to be better; in addition, reliability is further improved.

Of course, only one of the sliding device 4 and the rotating device 6 may be selected to be activated according to the actual requirements.

The transparent support frame 2 is used for supporting an ultrasonic probe to be disinfected; the transparent support frame 2 is accommodated in the optical warehouse 5, and includes a first support frame 21 which is close to the inlet 110 and is arranged opposite to the second cover 52 at an interval, and a second support frame 22 which is extended from one side of the first support frame 21 far away from the inlet 110 to the first optical warehouse body 511 along the side far away from the first support frame 21.

The transparent support frame 2 comprises a first support frame 21 which is contained in the first optical bin body 511 and is arranged at intervals with the first optical bin body 511, and a second support frame 22 which is formed by extending from one end of the first support frame 21, which is close to the second optical bin body 512, to the inlet 110, wherein the second support frame 22 is opposite to the second optical bin body 512 and is arranged at intervals.

The first support frame 21 is of a hollow tubular structure and is suitable for disinfecting a slender intracavity ultrasonic probe; the second support frame 22 is a hollow cubic structure, and is suitable for supporting disinfection of an external ultrasonic probe (such as a B ultrasonic probe) with a larger size or an irregular size; the first support frame 21 is communicated with the second support frame 22, the cross-sectional area of the first support frame 21 is smaller than that of the second support frame 22, one side, far away from the first support frame 21, of the second support frame 22 is in an opening shape and is right opposite to the inlet 110, and the opening position of the second support frame 22 serves as the inlet of the ultrasonic probe to be disinfected.

Further, the ultraviolet light source 3 arranged on the inner side of the first optical bin body 511 is arranged around the first support frame 21, and is used for disinfecting the ultrasonic probe in the cavity; and the ultraviolet light source 3 is arranged on one side of the second light cabin body 512 close to the second support frame 22 and is used for disinfecting the external ultrasonic probe.

It should be noted that the ultraviolet light sources 3 located in the first light cabin body 511 are divided into three groups, each group includes a plurality of ultraviolet light sources 3 arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the first light cabin body 511, and the three groups of ultraviolet light sources 3 are annularly arranged on the first support frame 21 at equal intervals. Of course, the number of the ultraviolet light sources is not limited, and the ultraviolet light sources can be specifically set according to the actual use requirement.

The structure releases the structural design of the transparent support frame 2, so that the transparent support frame 2 can be used for placing ultrasonic probes with various sizes or shapes, and the applicability of the ultrasonic probe sterilizer 100 is improved.

When the intracavity ultrasonic probe placed on the second support frame 22 is disinfected, the ultraviolet light source 3 of the first optical chamber body 511 is generally positioned at the side edge of the intracavity ultrasonic probe, so that the ultraviolet light source 3 of the part can only scan and disinfect the side surface of the intracavity ultrasonic probe, and the top end of the intracavity ultrasonic probe cannot be irradiated; it should be noted that the tip is the end of the intracavity ultrasound probe that enters the second support frame 22 first, i.e., the end away from the entrance 110.

Further, in order to achieve more comprehensive disinfection, the ultraviolet light source 3 which is arranged opposite to the top end of the ultrasonic probe in the cavity needs to be additionally arranged to disinfect the top end. As a more preferable embodiment, the light cabin 5 further includes a bottom cover 53 fixed to an end of the first light cabin body 511 away from the inlet 110, the bottom cover 53 is spaced from and opposite to the second supporting frame 22, and the ultraviolet light source 3 is installed on a side of the bottom cover 53 close to the first supporting frame.

Furthermore, the transparent support frame 2 is made of a transparent material, for example, in the present embodiment, the transparent support frame 2 is made of a quartz material, and due to the high light transmittance of the quartz material, the ultraviolet light generated by the ultraviolet light source 3 better penetrates through the transparent support frame 2 and irradiates the ultrasonic probe to be sterilized, so that the sterilization effect of the ultrasonic probe sterilizer 100 is better.

Preferably, the transparent support frame 2 made of quartz material is generally brittle and is easily broken if colliding with a hard object, and in order to ensure that the transparent support frame 2 can be reliably supported on the housing 1, as a preferred embodiment, a soft bracket 7 is disposed between the transparent support frame 2 and the housing 1, specifically, the soft bracket 7 is fixed on a side of the bottom plate 111 away from the sliding device 4, and the soft bracket 7 is disposed opposite to the inlet 110 for providing support for the transparent support frame 2, that is, the second support frame 22 is fixedly supported on the soft bracket 7.

In the actual use process, since the ultrasonic probe needs to be sterilized frequently, the ultrasonic probe sterilizer 100 needs to be in a working state for a long time, the ultraviolet light source 3 generates a large amount of heat in the working state, and the ultraviolet light irradiates the ultrasonic probe to generate a large amount of heat, so that the temperature inside the housing 1 is increased. In order to avoid the ultraviolet light source 3 from being burnt out due to the excessively high temperature inside the housing 1, a heat dissipation structure is required to enhance the heat dissipation performance.

The ultraviolet light source 3 is installed on one side of the second cover 52 close to the first support frame 21, and one side of the second cover 52 far from the first support frame 21 is in a fin structure, that is, the second cover 52 radiates heat generated by the operation of the ultraviolet light source 3 to the accommodating space 10 through the fin structure, and the fin structure has a large heat radiation area, so that the heat radiation efficiency is high, and the heat radiation performance is excellent.

Through the arrangement of the fin structures, the first optical bin body 511 and the second optical bin body 512 have excellent heat dissipation performance, so that heat generated by the ultraviolet light source 3 is effectively dissipated outwards, the working stability and reliability of the ultraviolet light source 3 are improved, and the reliability of the ultrasonic probe sterilizer 100 is further improved.

In order to further improve the heat dissipation effect, the ultrasonic probe sterilizer 100 may further be equipped with the fan 8. Specifically, the fan 8 is accommodated in the accommodating space 10.
