Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of endoscope cleaning, and in particular relates to a full-immersion endoscope cleaning machine. Background Art

[0002] Endoscope is a commonly used medical device, which is divided into hard endoscope and flexible endoscope. Since the cleanliness of the pipeline of the endoscope cleaning machine is directly related to the cleaning effect of the endoscope, the cleaning and disinfection of the endoscope is very strict. In clinical practice, after the endoscope is used, a dedicated endoscope cleaning machine will be used to complete the cleaning task of the endoscope with a narrow and long pipeline through multiple cleaning processes (such as water washing-enzyme washing-water washing-disinfectant washing-water washing);

[0003] Existing endoscope cleaning machines usually directly process endoscopes by twisting them together and piling them up inside a cleaning chamber for immersion cleaning. However, since the contact surfaces of the endoscopes will abut and overlap each other when the endoscopes are twisted under their own weight, they cannot fully contact the cleaning liquid during immersion cleaning. At the same time, if the endoscopes are inserted into the soft part and twisted together, wrinkles will be generated on the soft part of the endoscope, which will affect the creation of dead angles when the interior of the endoscope is flushed. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a full immersion endoscope cleaning machine to solve the problems existing in the background technology.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Example 1: Figure 1-5 As shown, a fully immersion endoscope cleaning machine of the present invention comprises an endoscope cleaning machine 1, wherein a cleaning chamber 11 is provided inside the endoscope cleaning machine 1, a pipe connecting mechanism 12 connected to the endoscope is installed in the center of the cleaning chamber 11, a drain port is provided at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 11, a water inlet and outlet are provided inside the cleaning chamber 11, and a placement mechanism is installed outside the pipe connecting mechanism 12;

[0025] The placement mechanism includes a mounting platform 13 fixedly connected to the cleaning chamber 11, a first placement round rod 14 is installed on the mounting platform 13 near the bottom of the cleaning chamber 11, a slip ring 15 is slidably connected to the mounting platform 13 up and down, a plurality of second placement round rods 16 are installed on the outer side of the slip ring 15, the slip ring 15 is transmission-connected to a plurality of auxiliary placement parts staggered with the plurality of second placement round rods 16, and the slip ring 15 is installed with an elastic component.

[0026] The cleaning process of the endoscope is divided into multiple steps. The conventional cleaning process is water washing, also known as primary washing - enzyme washing - water washing, also known as secondary washing - disinfectant washing - water washing, also known as final washing. Among them, water washing refers to the clean water used for cleaning in the clean water disinfection machine, which is pure water instead of ordinary tap water. Enzyme washing refers to the enzyme solution and clean water mixed into a cleaning solution for cleaning. Disinfectant washing refers to the disinfectant solution for cleaning. In each step, the cleaning liquid, clean water, enzyme cleaning solution or disinfectant solution is first filled into the cleaning chamber 11, and then the internal and external circulation cleaning processes are coordinated through the water inlet and outlet. After each step is completed, the clean water outlet must be discharged from the cleaning chamber 11, and then the cleaning solution used in the next step must be injected.

[0027] When in use, first open the cover of the endoscope cleaning machine 1 and then place the handheld operating end of the endoscope on the upper end of the second placement rod 16. At the same time, when placing the handheld operating part, place part of the insertion part around the mounting platform 13 on the upper end of the first placement rod 14. Since the endoscope is mainly composed of an insertion part and a manual operating part, the insertion part is a soft object and can be bent in an arc shape. The manual operating part has left and right and upper and lower knobs and two joints for filling, inflating and suction to adjust the direction of the front end of the endoscope and rinse, clean and reveal the field of vision. At the same time, the volume of the manual operating part is also larger than that of the insertion part and has a certain weight. The cleaning cavity 11 is composed of a semicircular cavity and a rectangular cavity. The second placement rod 16 is installed inside the rectangular cavity, so that the manual operating part that cannot be bent can easily enter the cleaning cavity 11. Therefore, when the manual operating part is placed When the second placement rod 16 is at the upper end, it overcomes the resilience of the elastic component and moves downward, so that the endoscope manual operation part is stably placed inside the cleaning chamber 11. When the second placement rod 16 moves downward, it will drive the slip ring 15 to slide downward, thereby driving a number of auxiliary placement parts to leak out. At this time, the remaining unwound insertion end is placed along the mounting table 13 in a circle on the upper end of the leaked auxiliary placement part. In this way, it is possible to avoid the insertion part abutting against the overlapping part during the winding placement and failing to fully contact with the cleaning liquid, resulting in incomplete cleaning. When not in use, the auxiliary placement parts are stored inside the mounting table 13 and are not hindered when the endoscope manual operation part is placed. Since the volume of the endoscope manual operation part is larger than the insertion part, the second placement rod 16 has no obstruction above and below and is staggered with the first placement rod 14.

[0028] The present invention can drive the auxiliary placement piece to extend during the process of placing the endoscope manual operation part, and then place the remaining insertion part on the upper end of the auxiliary placement piece to avoid overlapping when the insertion part is entangled and unable to fully contact with the cleaning liquid, resulting in poor cleaning effect.

[0029] Embodiment 2: Further improvement is made on the basis of Embodiment 1, the auxiliary placement member includes a cylinder 20 rotatably connected to the mounting platform 13, the cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to an auxiliary placement rod 21, gears 22 are fixedly installed on both sides of the cylinder 20, the slip ring 15 is closed and connected to the mounting platform 13 for vertical sliding, the slip ring 15 is fixedly installed with a rack 23 meshing with the gear 22, and the mounting platform 13 and the slip ring 15 are both provided with openings matching the auxiliary placement rod 21.

[0030] In the initial state, the slip ring 15 tends to move upward under the action of the elastic component, so that the slip ring 15 and the rack 23 abut against the upper side of the slide groove of the mounting table 13, while keeping the gear 22 meshing with the rack 23. When the slip ring 15 moves downward, it will drive the rack 23 to move downward and then make the gear 22 meshing with it rotate outward, which will make the auxiliary placement rod 21 rotate outward and leak out, so that the insertion part at the upper end of the first placement round rod 14 that has been wound once can be placed on the upper end of the auxiliary placement rod 21 to continue winding.

[0031] The elastic component assembly includes a transverse plate 24 fixedly connected to the slip ring 15, a spring 25 is installed between the transverse plate 24 and the mounting platform 13, and a pulling member is fixedly connected to the transverse plate 24. The spring 25 connects the mounting platform 13 and the transverse plate 24. In the initial state, the transverse plate 24 abuts against the upper side of the sliding groove of the mounting platform 13 under the action of the spring 25, and then after the transverse plate 24 generates a force, the transverse plate 24 overcomes the resilience of the spring 25 and moves downward.

[0032] The pulling member includes a pull rope 26 fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 24, and the pull rope 26 is connected to a horizontal rod 27, and the horizontal rod 27 extends upward away from the side of the mounting platform 13. When the pull rope 26 is pulled downward, the horizontal rod 27 will be driven to extend outward, thereby placing the insertion part. At the same time, the horizontal rod 27 and the second placement round rod 16 with upward movement can also clamp the endoscope manual operation part, thereby improving the stability of the endoscope placement. When in contact, the horizontal rod 27 is pushed back to the inside of the mounting platform 13 to facilitate the removal of the endoscope manual operation part.

[0033] The upper end of the mounting platform 13 is chamfered, and a plurality of second auxiliary placement rods 28 staggered with the auxiliary placement members are fixedly installed on the upper portion of the peripheral side of the mounting platform 13. The length of the plurality of second auxiliary placement rods 28 is less than half of the length of the first placement round rod 16, and the plurality of second auxiliary placement rods 28 extend upward away from the mounting platform 13.

[0034] Rubber rods 29 are fixedly mounted on the circumferences of the first placement round rod 14 and the second placement round rod 16 .

[0035] An inner gear ring 30 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the mounting platform 13, the inner gear ring 30 is fixedly mounted to the first placement round rod 14, the second placement round rod 16 is rotatably mounted to the slip ring 15, a gear 31 meshing with the inner gear ring 30 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the cleaning chamber 11, and a motor 32 transmission-connected to the gear 31 is installed inside the endoscope cleaning machine 1.

[0036] The rubber rod 29 has a certain deformation ability and a certain resistance, so the rubber rod 29 can play a protective role when the endoscope is placed. At the same time, after the cleaning liquid fills the cleaning chamber 11, the motor 32 can be started to drive the gear 31 to rotate, and then the gear 31 drives the inner gear ring 30 and the first placement round rod 14 to rotate. Since the rubber rod 29 is provided at the upper end of the first placement round rod 14 and the second placement round rod 16 is rotatably connected, when the first placement round rod 14 rotates, the rubber rod 29 will be abutted against the rubber rod 29 of the second placement round rod 16, and then under the rotation of the first placement round rod 14, the second placement round rod 16 will rotate to perform a gap sweep on the hand-controlled operating part. At the same time, the rubber rods 29 are staggered to increase the sweeping range and improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0037] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or change the above embodiments without violating the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
