Description

A visual endoscope tube cleaning brush Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device cleaning technology, and more specifically to a visual endoscope channel cleaning brush. Background Technology

[0002] A visualization endoscope is an advanced medical device that uses optical lenses and other devices to acquire and display high-definition images of internal human tissues in real time, providing doctors with accurate diagnostic information. The endoscope's tubing utilizes endoscopic technology to visualize the body's interior, transmitting the internal condition to a display screen in real time. This allows operators to intuitively and comprehensively observe the patient's physical state. Because the endoscope tubing penetrates deep into the body during this process, its surface can accumulate blood, secretions, and other substances after each use, affecting subsequent uses. Therefore, the tubing needs to be cleaned to hygiene standards, making cleaning devices for the endoscope tubing extremely important.

[0003] The structure of existing pipe cleaning brushes mainly includes a brush head, handle, and tail. The brush head is the core part of the cleaning brush, usually made of twisted wire as a frame, with many neatly arranged, outward-extending fine bristles. Some pipe cleaning brushes have a special structure at the tail, such as a test tube brush with a tail. This design helps to clean hard-to-reach areas inside the pipe. The main steps of use are as follows: turn off the water valve on the pipe to prevent water from flowing out during cleaning; insert one end of the pipe cleaning brush into the opening of the pipe to be cleaned; gently rotate and push the cleaning brush to allow it to smoothly enter the pipe; rotate the cleaning brush back and forth inside the pipe to increase the cleaning effect; after cleaning, remove the cleaning brush from the pipe and wipe the water off the pipe surface.

[0004] Analysis of the existing cleaning brushes shows that while they can generally meet cleaning requirements, they still have shortcomings: First, the brushes do not make sufficient contact with the pipes being cleaned, resulting in limited cleaning power and requiring a longer cleaning time. Second, after the pipes are cleaned, a large amount of liquid remains on their surface, requiring operators to dry the pipes separately, which also makes it easy to contaminate the surrounding environment when the pipes are removed from the cleaning device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a visual endoscope channel cleaning brush to solve the problems existing in the background art.

A push rod is hinged above the one-way wheel assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, a clamping part is installed at the tail end of the pipe to be cleaned, and a shrinkage groove is provided at the front end of the clamping part.

[0011] Furthermore, the displacement assembly includes a fixed cylinder, an undulating track is provided on the inner side of the fixed cylinder, the undulating track is centrally symmetrical in shape, a clamping cantilever is installed inside the fixed cylinder, there are two clamping cantilever, the end of the clamping cantilever closer to the fixed cylinder is located inside the undulating track, the end of the clamping cantilever away from the fixed cylinder is equipped with a wrapping head, and a locking assembly is installed between the two clamping cantilever.

[0012] Furthermore, a drive assembly is installed at one end of the clamping cantilever near the undulating track. The drive assembly includes a second motor located inside the clamping cantilever. A drive shaft is installed at the front end of the second motor, and a drive gear is installed at the front end of the drive shaft. Driven gears are installed above and below the drive gear, respectively, and the drive gear meshes with the driven gear.

[0013] Furthermore, a transmission arm is installed inside the driven gear, and a longitudinal moving wheel is installed at one end of the transmission arm near the undulating track. The two longitudinal moving wheels slide in contact with the upper and lower walls of the undulating track, respectively. A right-angle fixed arm is installed at the front end of the clamping cantilever, and a transverse moving wheel is installed above the right-angle fixed arm. The transverse moving wheel slides in contact with the inner wall of the undulating track.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0015] 1. The present invention, by providing a fixed cylindrical column and a clamping cantilever, facilitates the sliding between the roller and the track, allowing the pipe to be cleaned to perform circular and reciprocating motions inside the device during cleaning. This increases the relative contact area between the pipe to be cleaned and the long cleaning brush, improves the degree of cleaning received by the outer surface of the pipe to be cleaned, and solves the problem of insufficient cleaning by traditional cleaning brushes.

[0016] 2. By incorporating a draining component, this invention leverages the restoring properties of the spring and the unidirectional rotation of the ratchet, ensuring that the surface of the pipe being cleaned drains simultaneously during the upward lifting motion as it leaves the device after cleaning. This solves the problem of a large amount of residual water on the surface of the pipe after cleaning with a traditional cleaning brush. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The visual endoscope channel cleaning brush involved in the present invention is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the present invention provides a visual endoscope tube cleaning brush, including a spray assembly 1, an infusion pump 5 installed on the outside of the spray assembly 1, a waste liquid pipe 6 opened at the bottom of the spray assembly 1, a cleaning assembly 2 installed inside the spray assembly 1, a stabilizing base 7 installed at the lower end of the cleaning assembly 2, a displacement assembly 3 installed at the upper end of the cleaning assembly 2, a dehumidification assembly 4 installed below the displacement assembly 3, and a tube 8 to be cleaned installed inside the displacement assembly 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, it should be specifically explained that: the pipe to be cleaned 8 enters the interior of the device from the top of the shifting component 3, passes through the dehumidification component 4 from the position of the shifting component 3, and finally the top of the pipe to be cleaned 8 reaches the bottom of the cleaning component 2. The shifting component 3 fixes the pipe to be cleaned 8 and rotates and moves up and down with the pipe to be cleaned 8. There are two infusion pumps 5. One infusion pump 5 first delivers cleaning agent into the interior of the spraying component 1, and then the other infusion pump 5 delivers clean water into the interior of the spraying component 1. These liquids are sprayed onto the surface of the pipe to be cleaned 8 through the spraying component 1. At the same time, the cleaning component 2 will rotate under the drive of the motor, so that the liquid is fully sprayed onto the surface of the pipe to be cleaned 8 and scrubbed. The waste liquid after cleaning will flow to the bottom of the cleaning component 2. The waste liquid pipe 6 is used to discharge the waste liquid at the bottom of the cleaning component 2. The function of the dehumidification component 4 is to drain the surface of the pipe to be cleaned 8 when it is removed from the device. The stable base 7 makes the device more stable.

[0032] The main difference between this embodiment and the prior art is that this embodiment adopts a combination structure of pulleys and rails, which increases the relative movement between the part to be cleaned and the cleaning brush, thereby improving the cleaning effect. Specifically, this is achieved by the displacement component 3. In addition, a combination structure of springs and rockers is adopted, which automatically wipes away residual water on the surface when the pipe 8 to be cleaned is removed. Specifically, this is achieved by the dehumidification component 4.

[0033] The above structure is the main structure of this embodiment, which solves the problem of insufficient cleaning by traditional cleaning brushes, and also solves the problem of a large amount of water remaining on the surface of the pipe after cleaning by traditional cleaning brushes.

[0034] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the cleaning component 2 includes a brush tray 203, a brush support arm 201 installed at the upper edge of the brush tray 203, a long cleaning brush 202 installed on the inner side of the brush support arm 201, a top cleaning head 206 installed directly above the brush tray 203, a spiral groove 2061 installed inside the top cleaning head 206, a transmission gear 204 installed below the brush tray 203, and a first motor 205 installed below the transmission gear 204.

[0035] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that when the pipe 8 to be cleaned is inserted into the device, the surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned is in contact with the long cleaning brush 202, and the top end of the pipe 8 to be cleaned is in contact with the top cleaning head 206.

[0036] When the first motor 205 is working, the first motor 205 drives the transmission gear 204 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission gear 204 drives the brush tray 203 to rotate. The brush tray 203 drives the brush support arm 201 and the top cleaning head 206 to rotate coaxially. The brush support arm 201 drives the long cleaning brush 202 to rotate around the pipe 8 to be cleaned, and rubs the surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned while rotating.

[0037] When the top cleaning head 206 rotates, the spiral groove 2061 has an upward spiral shape, which makes the liquid flowing from the top of the pipe 8 to be cleaned into the spiral groove 2061 tend to transfer to the outside of the top cleaning head 206.

[0038] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the spray assembly 1 includes a liquid outlet cylinder 101, a liquid passage chamber 1011 is provided inside the liquid outlet cylinder 101, a spray hole 1012 is provided on the inner side of the liquid outlet cylinder 101, a liquid separation baffle 102 is installed inside the liquid passage chamber 1011, a barrier bottom plate 103 is installed at the lower end of the liquid outlet cylinder 101, a top cover 401 is installed at the upper end of the liquid outlet cylinder 101, and a drain assembly 402 is installed below the top cover 401.

[0039] In this embodiment, it should be specifically explained that: the liquid separation baffle 102 divides the interior of the liquid passage chamber 1011 into two areas, and the two infusion pumps 5 are respectively connected to the two areas inside the liquid passage chamber 1011, and the lower end of the liquid passage chamber 1011 is blocked by the blocking bottom plate 103.

[0040] When the pipe 8 to be cleaned enters the interior of this device for cleaning, one of the infusion pumps 5 delivers cleaning agent into the corresponding area of ​​the liquid passage chamber 1011. The cleaning agent is sprayed from inside the liquid passage chamber 1011 onto the surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned through the spray nozzle 1012. At the same time, under the rotation of the long cleaning brush 202 and the pipe 8 itself, the cleaning agent will be sprayed onto all surfaces of the pipe 8 to be cleaned. Afterward, the infusion pump 5 stops delivering, and the other infusion pump 5 starts delivering clean water into the corresponding area of ​​the liquid passage chamber 1011. The clean water is sprayed from inside the liquid passage chamber 1011 onto the surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned through the spray nozzle 1012. At the same time, under the rotation of the long cleaning brush 202 and the pipe 8 itself, the clean water will be sprayed onto all surfaces of the pipe 8 to be cleaned, washing away the stains and cleaning agent on the surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned.

[0041] The pipe 8 to be cleaned is located inside the drain assembly 402 during cleaning. When the pipe 8 to be cleaned enters the device, the drain assembly 402 expands outward. When the pipe 8 to be cleaned is removed from the device after cleaning, the drain assembly 402 contracts inward. The drain assembly 402 drains water from the tail of the pipe 8 to the top of the pipe 8, after which the pipe 8 completely leaves the device.

[0042] Referring to Figure 7, a reset rocker arm 4021 is installed below the top cover 401. There are two reset rocker arms 4021. The reset rocker arms 4021 are hinged to the top cover 401. A water-draining rubber 4022 is installed at the lower end of the reset rocker arm 4021. A compression spring 4023 is installed above the reset rocker arm 4021. The upper end of the compression spring 4023 is connected to the top cover 401. A one-way wheel assembly 4025 is installed at the lower end above the reset rocker arm 4021. A push rod 4024 is hinged above the one-way wheel assembly 4025.

[0043] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that: the water-draining rubber 4022 is semi-circular, the compression spring 4023 is in a stretched state, and the compression spring 4023 has a pulling force that pulls the reset rocker arm 4021 upward, so that the water-draining rubber 4022 tends to contract inward.

[0044] The upper end of the push lever 4024 is located above the circular hole formed by the water-draining rubber 4022. The one-way wheel assembly 4025 is a ratchet structure. When the upper end of the push lever 4024 moves downward along the arc with the one-way wheel assembly 4025 as the center, the one-way wheel assembly 4025 will lock. When the upper end of the push lever 4024 is subjected to force and moves upward, the one-way wheel assembly 4025 rotates, and the angle between the push lever 4024 and the reset rocker arm 4021 changes. The one-way wheel assembly 4025 is an existing structure. The specific structure and connection method of the one-way wheel assembly 4025 will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0045] When the pipe 8 to be cleaned extends downward into the device, the pipe 8 first contacts the upper end of the push rod 4024. The pipe 8 to be cleaned exerts a downward force on the push rod 4024, and the one-way wheel assembly 4025 is locked. Then the push rod 4024 pushes the reset rocker arm 4021 downward. The reset rocker arm 4021 rotates around the connecting shaft between the reset rocker arm 4021 and the top cover 401. The reset rocker arm 4021 drives the drain rubber 4022 to separate to both sides, and the compression spring 4023 is further stretched. When the part of the pipe 8 to be cleaned is completely inside the device, the upper end of the push rod 4024 contacts the tail of the pipe 8 to be cleaned.

[0046] When the pipe 8 to be cleaned is cleaned and pulled upward, the pipe 8 to be cleaned applies an upward frictional force to the upper end of the push rod 4024, the one-way wheel assembly 4025 rotates, and the draining rubber 4022 is kept in close contact with the surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned under the action of the contraction spring 4023. The draining rubber 4022 scrapes off the water on the surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned, thus achieving drainage. After the device is used, the one-way wheel assembly 4025 can be reset by manual adjustment or electric component control. This embodiment does not specifically limit the structure.

[0047] Referring to Figure 8, a clamping part 801 is installed at the tail end of the pipe 8 to be cleaned, and a shrinkage groove 802 is provided at the front end of the clamping part 801.

[0048] In this embodiment, it should be specifically explained that: the shifting component 3 fixes the entire pipe 8 to be cleaned by clamping the clamped part 801. When the pipe 8 to be cleaned is inserted into the inside of the device, the upper end of the push rod 4024 moves up relative to the outer surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned. Finally, the upper end of the push rod 4024 reaches the position of the shrinkage groove 802, the shrinkage spring 4023 contracts, and the shrinkage spring 4023 drives the upper end of the push rod 4024 to contact the inner wall of the shrinkage groove 802. At the same time, the water-draining rubber 4022 contacts the surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned. The inside of the shrinkage groove 802 leaves enough space for the pipe 8 to be cleaned to move up and down.

[0049] When the pipe 8 to be cleaned is pulled upward, the upper end of the push rod 4024 is subjected to an upward frictional force at the shrinkage groove 802 and leaves the interior of the shrinkage groove 802. After that, the push rod 4024 slides relative to the surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned.

[0050] Referring to Figure 9, the displacement assembly 3 includes a fixed cylinder 301. An undulating track 3011 is provided on the inner side of the fixed cylinder 301. The undulating track 3011 is centrally symmetrical in shape. A clamping cantilever 302 is installed inside the fixed cylinder 301. There are two clamping cantilever 302s. The end of the clamping cantilever 302 near the fixed cylinder 301 is located inside the undulating track 3011. A wrapping head 3021 is installed at the end of the clamping cantilever 302 away from the fixed cylinder 301. A locking assembly 3022 is installed between the two clamping cantilever 302s.

[0051] In this embodiment, it should be specifically explained that: when the pipe 8 to be cleaned is inserted into the interior of the device, the pipe 8 to be cleaned is located between the two wrapping heads 3021. The locking assembly 3022 is locked to fix the pipe 8 to be cleaned to the clamping arm 302. Then, the components inside the clamping arm 302 drive the clamping arm 302 to rotate along the undulating track 3011. The clamping arm 302 drives the pipe 8 to be cleaned to make circular motion and undulate up and down, so that the pipe 8 to be cleaned rotates and moves up and down, increasing the relative motion between the pipe 8 to be cleaned and the long cleaning brush 202 during cleaning, and enhancing the cleaning effect. Since the shape of the undulating track 3011 is centrally symmetrical, when the clamping arm 302 moves inside the undulating track 3011, the clamping arms 302 on both sides maintain the same horizontal height.

[0052] Referring to Figures 10 and 11, a drive assembly 303 is installed at one end of the clamping cantilever 302 near the undulating track 3011. The drive assembly 303 includes a second motor 3031, which is located inside the clamping cantilever 302. A drive shaft 3032 is installed at the front end of the second motor 3031, and a drive gear 3033 is installed at the front end of the drive shaft 3032. Driven gears 3035 are installed above and below the drive gear 3033, respectively. The drive gear 3033 and the driven gear 3035... 5. Engagement: A transmission arm 3034 is installed inside the driven gear 3035. A longitudinal moving wheel 3036 is installed at one end of the transmission arm 3034 near the undulating track 3011. The two longitudinal moving wheels 3036 slide in contact with the upper and lower walls of the undulating track 3011, respectively. A right-angle fixed arm 3037 is installed at the front end of the clamping cantilever 302. A transverse moving wheel 3038 is installed above the right-angle fixed arm 3037. The transverse moving wheel 3038 slides in contact with the inner wall of the undulating track 3011.

[0053] In this embodiment, it should be specifically explained that when the second motor 3031 is working, the second motor 3031 drives the transmission shaft 3032 to rotate, the rotation of the transmission shaft 3032 drives the drive gear 3033 to rotate, the rotation of the drive gear 3033 drives the transmission arm 3034 to rotate, the transmission arm 3034 drives the longitudinal moving wheel 3036 to rotate, and the two longitudinal moving wheels 3036 slide on the inner wall of the undulating track 3011 respectively, generating friction, which drives the two clamping cantilever arms 302 to make circular motion, and the rotation direction is opposite to the rotation direction of the long cleaning brush 202.

[0054] Meanwhile, the lateral moving wheel 3038 slides against the inner wall, which is beneficial for the smooth movement of the drive component 303 inside the undulating track 3011; a pivot can be installed at the right-angle fixed arm 3037, so that the lateral moving wheel 3038 can change its angle with the change of the shape of the undulating track 3011, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement of the drive component 303 inside the undulating track 3011. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this structure.

[0055] Working principle of the invention:

[0056] The main problem solved by this embodiment is that by opening a fixed cylinder 301 and a clamping cantilever 302, the pipe 8 to be cleaned can move in a circular motion and up and down reciprocating motion when it is cleaned inside the device, which increases the contact between the outer surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned and the long cleaning brush 202, thus solving the problem of insufficient cleaning by traditional cleaning brushes.

[0057] Secondly, by opening a drain component 402, the surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned is simultaneously drained during the lifting action when the pipe 8 leaves the device after cleaning, which solves the problem of a large amount of water remaining on the surface of the pipe after it has been cleaned by a traditional cleaning brush.

[0058] The specific steps are as follows: First, place the device stably on a flat surface, then insert the top of the pipe 8 to be cleaned between the two wrapping heads 3021 into the device, then pass the top of the pipe 8 to be cleaned through the drain assembly 402 and through the long cleaning brush 202, and finally the top of the pipe 8 to be cleaned reaches the position of the top cleaning head 206.

[0059] As the pipe 8 to be cleaned moves downwards, it contacts the upper end of the push rod 4024. The pipe 8 exerts a downward force on the push rod 4024, locking the one-way wheel assembly 4025. The one-way wheel assembly 4025 and the reset rocker arm 4021 remain relatively stationary. The push rod 4024 then pushes the reset rocker arm 4021 downwards. The reset rocker arm 4021 rotates around the connecting shaft between the reset rocker arm 4021 and the top cover 401. The reset rocker arm 4021 causes the drain rubber 4022 to separate to both sides, and the initially stretched spring 40... 23 is further stretched, and the upper end of the push rod 4024 moves up relative to the outer surface of the pipe to be cleaned 8. When the part of the pipe to be cleaned 8 that needs to be cleaned is completely inside the device, the upper end of the push rod 4024 reaches the position of the shrink groove 802. The shrink spring 4023 shrinks, and the shrink spring 4023 drives the upper end of the push rod 4024 to contact the inner wall of the shrink groove 802. At the same time, the water-draining rubber 4022 contacts the surface of the pipe to be cleaned 8. Then the locking assembly 3022 is locked, so that the pipe to be cleaned 8 is relatively fixed to the two clamping cantilever arms 302.

[0060] Once the preparation is complete, one of the infusion pumps 5 is turned on. The infusion pump 5 delivers the cleaning agent into a corresponding area of ​​the liquid passage chamber 1011. The cleaning agent is sprayed from the inside of the liquid passage chamber 1011 onto the surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned through the spray hole 1012. At the same time, the first motor 205 and the second motor 3031 are started.

[0061] When the first motor 205 starts working, it drives the transmission gear 204 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission gear 204 drives the brush tray 203 to rotate. The brush tray 203 drives the brush support arm 201 and the top cleaning head 206 to rotate coaxially. The brush support arm 201 drives the long cleaning brush 202 to rotate around the pipe 8 to be cleaned. While rotating, the long cleaning brush 202 rubs the surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned. When the top cleaning head 206 rotates, the spiral groove 2061 has an upward spiral shape, which causes the liquid flowing from the top of the pipe 8 to be cleaned into the spiral groove 2061 to transfer to the outside of the top cleaning head 206 as the pipe 8 to be cleaned moves up and down.

[0062] After the second motor 3031 starts working, the second motor 3031 drives the transmission shaft 3032 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission shaft 3032 drives the drive gear 3033 to rotate. The rotation of the drive gear 3033 drives the transmission arm 3034 to rotate. The transmission arm 3034 drives the longitudinal moving wheel 3036 to rotate. The two longitudinal moving wheels 3036 slide on the inner wall of the undulating track 3011 respectively, generating friction and driving the two clamping cantilever arms 302 to make circular motion. At the same time, the transverse moving wheel 3038 slides against the inner wall.

[0063] As the long cleaning brush 202 and the pipe 8 to be cleaned rotate, the cleaning agent sprayed from the spray hole 1012 will spray onto all surfaces of the pipe 8 to be cleaned, and the pipe 8 to be cleaned will move up and down repeatedly, and the surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned will rub against the long cleaning brush 202 in a relatively circular motion.

[0064] After the cleaning agent has been sprayed for a specific time, the infusion pump 5 stops supplying water, and another infusion pump 5 starts supplying clean water to another corresponding area in the liquid passage chamber 1011. The clean water is sprayed from the inside of the liquid passage chamber 1011 through the spray hole 1012 onto the surface of the pipe 8 to be cleaned. At the same time, under the rotation of the long cleaning brush 202 and the pipe 8 to be cleaned, the clean water will spray onto all surfaces of the pipe 8 to be cleaned, washing away the stains and cleaning agent on the surface of the pipe 8. After the clean water has been sprayed for a specific time, the other infusion pump 5 stops supplying water, the waste liquid pipe 6 is opened, and the sewage accumulated at the bottom of the spray assembly 1 is discharged from the device through the waste liquid pipe 6. At this time, the first motor 205 and the second motor 3031 stop operating.

[0065] The user unlocks the locking assembly 3022 and pulls the clamped part 801 to remove the pipe 8 to be cleaned from the inside of the device. During the upward movement of the pipe 8, the pipe 8 applies an upward frictional force to the upper end of the push rod 4024. The push rod 4024 leaves the inside of the shrinkage groove 802 and slides relative to the outer surface of the pipe 8. The one-way wheel assembly 4025 rotates, and the water-draining rubber 4022 is kept in close contact with the surface of the pipe 8 under the action of the shrinkage spring 4023. The water-draining rubber 4022 scrapes away the water on the surface of the pipe 8, thus achieving water drainage.

[0066] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
