Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a small tabletop sterilizer for sterilizing medical instruments, etc. with high-temperature, high-pressure steam, and is especially easy to use and allows for good drainage treatment of the water stored in the sterilizer. This provides a tabletop sterilizer with good quality.

In many cases, this type of small tabletop steam sterilizer uses a system in which the water used to generate steam is stored in a storage tank installed inside the device itself.If the stored water is stored for a long period of time, it will rot, so it will be drained after a certain period of time. Then, new water is stored again.

The drainage work involved opening a drain cock protruding from one side of the device body and draining the liquid into a drain or the like.

In such a configuration, there is a space required for manually operating the drain cock on one side of the device body, so other items cannot be placed there, and the direction of drainage is limited, so the installation location is also restricted. Met.

The present invention has been devised in view of these drawbacks, and embodiments thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a sterilizer main body, which includes a sterilization tank 3 and a water storage tank 4 arranged in parallel with the sterilization tank in a cubic outer box 2.

The water storage tank 4 has a water inlet 5 formed on the upper surface of the upper outer box 2 so that water for sterilization can be appropriately injected from the water inlet, and a cap body 6 is detachably attached.

Furthermore, a drainage port 8 is formed in the bottom surface 7.

A water supply and drainage pipe 10 having a solenoid valve 9 is provided between the sterilization tank 3 and the water storage tank 4, which are arranged in parallel to the water storage tank 4. By opening the solenoid valve 9, the stored water is sequentially supplied to the water storage tank 4 due to the difference in head. It is stored in the sterilization tank 3, and when a predetermined amount of water is reached, the electromagnetic valve is closed to cut off the water supply.

The sterilization tank 3 has its front opening located on the front surface 11 of the outer box 1 and is fitted with an opening/closing lid 12, and is provided with a shelf member 13 on which objects to be sterilized are placed and a storage area. A heater 14 is disposed within the water.

When steam sterilizing objects to be sterilized with such a configuration, after storing the objects to be sterilized, a predetermined amount of water is supplied, and then the opening/closing lid 12 is closed.
After closing, the heater 14 is energized.

As a result, the sterilization tank 3 is filled with high-temperature, high-pressure steam, and by continuing this for a predetermined period of time, the sterilization process is completed.

When the electromagnetic valve 9 is opened after the sterilization process, the steam and hot water that fill the sterilization tank 3 due to the internal pressure are sequentially condensed into the storage tank 4 via the water supply and drainage pipe 10.

In this way, the water in the storage tank 4 can be used many times.

For this reason, the water in the storage tank 4 gradually becomes dirty, so it is periodically drained and fresh water is supplied.

Reference numeral 15 denotes an L-shaped joint pipe connected to a drain port 8 formed on the bottom surface 7 of the storage tank 4, which passes through the lower surface of the outer box 2 and is bent toward the front.

The protruding length of the L-shaped joint pipe 15 corresponds to the length of the legs 16, 16, 16 attached to the corners of the lower surface of the outer box 2, respectively.
, 16, and a flexible drain pipe 7 is connected to the joint pipe.

The water stop cap 18 is attached to the tip of the drain pipe 17, and when the water stored in the storage tank 4 is to be drained, the water stop cap 18 is removed and the water is drained appropriately.

And the drain pipe 17 is connected to the leg body 16, 16°16.1
6 or side openings 20 and 20 formed on both sides.

Since the present invention is as described above, the drainage direction is not limited, making it easy to handle, and it is also practical and has good usability, such as making it possible to drain water even if items are placed side by side on both sides. You can get a tabletop sterilizer.
