Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically to a disinfection and cleaning device for bronchoscopes. Background Technology

[0002] A bronchoscope is an endoscopic device used to directly observe the internal structure of the airway and to perform procedures such as biopsy, foreign body removal, and treatment. It plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases.

[0003] During bronchoscope disinfection, the small diameter of the bronchoscope lumen (e.g., 3.0mm to 9.0mm) makes it difficult for cleaning brushes to thoroughly remove secretions, blood, tissue fragments, and other contaminants from the lumen. While immersion disinfection with disinfectant can leave residue inside the tube after use, the amount of disinfectant used should be reduced to ensure no residue remains in the lumen. Furthermore, the complexity of bronchoscope disinfection means that manual disinfection requires operators to understand the bronchoscope's structure and disinfection procedures, leading to low efficiency. Therefore, an integrated disinfection device can be used to replace manual labor and improve disinfection efficiency.

[0004] Existing disinfection devices typically employ an integrated machine for comprehensive disinfection of bronchoscopes. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN110025799A discloses a simplified fiberoptic bronchoscope disinfection device, which can perform enzyme washing, disinfection, cleaning, and drying of the fiberoptic bronchoscope in actual clinical use. However, due to deposits inside the lumen and the narrowness of the internal structure, some complex local structures may not be thoroughly cleaned during comprehensive disinfection, resulting in incomplete disinfection. Therefore, this invention provides a disinfection and cleaning device for bronchoscopes that can reduce deposit residue and ensure disinfection effectiveness by adopting a localized disinfection method based on the structural characteristics of the bronchoscope. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a disinfection and cleaning device for bronchoscopes, which is used to perform localized disinfection based on the structural characteristics of the bronchoscope, reducing residue and ensuring disinfection effectiveness.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a disinfection and cleaning device for a bronchoscope, comprising a housing for storing the bronchoscope, a placement cavity for containing disinfectant solution inside the housing, a control panel for controlling the cleaning process fixedly connected to the top of the housing, and an ultrasonic module for causing the disinfectant solution to vibrate at high frequency connected to the control panel; a bracket for holding the bronchoscope is provided at the top of the placement cavity.

[0007] The top of the support is equipped with a delivery mechanism for connecting a bronchoscope to deliver disinfectant or saline solution. The placement chamber is equipped with several vibration mechanisms from top to bottom for shaking the cleaning solution inside the placement chamber.

[0008] The vibration mechanism includes several guide plates, with the ultrasound module located between adjacent guide plates; the guide plates are equipped with a detection mechanism for detecting the degree of bronchoscope curvature, and the control panel is used to adjust the power of the ultrasound module based on the degree of bronchoscope curvature.

[0009] Furthermore, the delivery mechanism includes several connection ports opened on the support, and each connection port is connected to a connecting tube for matching with the input end of the bronchoscope;

[0010] The bottom of the support is equipped with several sliding plates, each corresponding to a connection port. A spring supports the top of the sliding plate and the bottom of the support. Cuffs for engaging the bronchoscope are fixedly connected to both sides of the sliding plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the collar has pads of different diameters that slide inside it, and the pads are located between the bronchoscope and the collar.

[0012] Furthermore, an auxiliary cleaning structure is provided between the connecting tube and the input end of the bronchoscope;

[0013] The auxiliary cleaning mechanism includes several clamping plates for holding the bronchoscope. The clamping plates are rotatably engaged with the end of the connecting tube away from the connection port by a rotating shaft. A torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft. The clamping plate at one end of the rotating shaft is a first locking block located outside the connecting tube. The clamping plate at the other end of the rotating shaft is a second locking block located inside the connecting tube. An arc-shaped mating block is fixedly connected to the side of the second locking block away from the connecting tube.

[0014] Several branch pipes are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe. One end of the branch pipe is located on the side of the second locking block near the connecting pipe, and the other end of the branch pipe is located on the end of the connecting pipe near the connection port. A one-way valve is connected inside the branch pipe.

[0015] When the second locking block moves to the farthest point from the bronchus, the first locking block separates from the bronchoscope, and the locking block abuts against the bronchoscope; when the second locking block moves to the closest point from the bronchus, the second locking block abuts against the bronchoscope, and the locking block separates from the bronchoscope.

[0016] Furthermore, adjacent guide plates are arranged symmetrically around the placement cavity. The guide plates include a first plate and a second plate. A central axis is provided at the center of the first plate and the second plate. The central axis rotates and engages with the first plate and the second plate respectively. The ultrasound module is located on the first plate and the second plate.

[0017] The testing mechanism includes a groove formed on the inner wall of the housing, an electric push rod slidingly fitted in the groove, the electric push rod being electrically connected to the control panel, the electric push rod being fixedly connected to the central shaft, and the central shaft being slidingly fitted in the groove; magnet layers are fixedly connected to the first plate and the second plate; a sliding shaft fixedly connected to the central shaft is slidingly fitted in the housing; a hydraulic rod is hinged between the sliding shaft and the output end of the electric push rod; the hydraulic rod is electrically connected to the control panel; and an adsorption layer corresponding to the magnet layers is fixedly connected to the sliding shaft.

[0018] Several exchange ports are opened on the central shaft, and several contact ports are opened on the first plate and the second plate. The exchange ports and contact ports are connected to water pipes. A first flow velocity sensor for measuring the first real-time flow velocity is connected inside the water pipes. The end of the water pipe away from the exchange ports is connected to a power component for generating negative pressure suction. The flow velocity sensor and the power component are electrically connected to the control panel.

[0019] Furthermore, several bristles are fixedly connected to the first and second plates.

[0020] Furthermore, both the exchange port and the contact port are equipped with solenoid valves, which are electrically connected to the control panel.

[0021] The control panel is used to input and store valve hole position information corresponding to each solenoid valve, first position information corresponding to the electric actuator movement distance, second position information corresponding to the hydraulic rod movement distance on the first plate, and third position information corresponding to the hydraulic rod on the second plate; wherein, the valve hole position information includes the solenoid valve position corresponding to the central axis, the solenoid valve position corresponding to the first plate, and the solenoid valve position corresponding to the second plate, and the first position information is associated with several second position information and third position information;

[0022] The control panel is used to start the solenoid valves sequentially according to the control sequence of the solenoid valve position corresponding to the central axis, the solenoid valve position corresponding to the first plate, and the solenoid valve position corresponding to the second plate, based on the valve orifice position information. It compares the first real-time flow rate at the current time with the set standard value. If the first real-time flow rate is greater than or equal to the standard value, it sends a maintenance command to the electric actuator; if the first real-time flow rate is less than the standard value, it sends a start command to the corresponding solenoid valve according to the control sequence and outputs the first position information corresponding to the electric actuator's movement distance.

[0023] Simultaneously, the first real-time flow rate corresponding to the start-up of the solenoid valve position of the first plate and the solenoid valve position of the second plate is obtained. Until the first real-time flow rate is less than the standard value, the second position message corresponding to the movement distance of the hydraulic rod on the first plate and the third position information corresponding to the hydraulic rod on the second plate are output.

[0024] The control panel is also used to input and store the rated power of the bronchoscope in its normal bending state, and then output the corresponding first angle based on the first position information and the second position information, and output the corresponding second angle based on the first position information and the third position information. The difference between the first angle and the second angle is calculated and compared with the set rated value. If the difference is greater than the rated value, the rated power is increased based on the ratio between the difference and the rated value; if the difference is less than or equal to the rated value, the rated power is sent to the ultrasound module.

[0025] Furthermore, a recovery tube is connected to the bottom of the placement chamber, and several electric heating tubes are also provided on the inner wall of the placement chamber. The electric heating tubes are electrically connected to the control panel.

[0026] Furthermore, the control panel is also electrically connected to a temperature sensor, which is located inside the water pipe;

[0027] The temperature sensor is used to measure the real-time temperature inside the water pipe. The control panel is used to compare the real-time temperature with the set disinfection temperature. If the real-time temperature is greater than or equal to the disinfection temperature, the disinfection time is recorded. The disinfection time is compared with the set rated time. If the disinfection time is greater than or equal to the rated time, a shutdown command is sent to the electric heating element. If the disinfection time is less than the rated time, a maintenance command is sent to the electric heating element.

[0028] If the real-time temperature is lower than the disinfection temperature, a maintenance command is sent to the electric heating element.

[0029] Furthermore, the control panel also includes a display screen for showing the cleaning process;

[0030] The connection port is also equipped with a second flow rate sensor, which is used to detect the second real-time flow rate in the connection port in real time and send the second real-time flow rate to the control panel.

[0031] The control panel is used to compare the second real-time flow rate with the set standard value. If the second real-time flow rate is greater than the standard value, an abnormal display command is sent to the display screen; if the second real-time flow rate is less than or equal to the standard value, a normal command is sent to the display screen.

[0032] The above approach has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] 1. This solution involves testing bronchoscopes at different locations by a testing agency, and adjusting the power according to the curved parts of the bronchoscope to facilitate the removal of deposits from the curved parts of the bronchoscope, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0034] 2. In this solution, during the contact treatment with the outside world through the exchange port and contact port of the testing agency, the real-time flow rate can be used to determine whether to contact the bronchoscope to confirm the degree of bronchoscope bending; and the continuous suction treatment through the exchange port and contact port can also be used to promptly suction out any adhering substances that fall off the surface of the bronchoscope.

[0035] 3. This solution uses the real-time flow rate inside the bronchoscope to monitor the impact of external suction on the fluid around the bronchoscope during the continuous aspiration process at the exchange port and contact port. This helps to alert the user to any damage or leakage to the bronchoscope and allow for timely replacement.

[0036] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0047] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0048] Example 1:

[0049] As attached Figures 1 to 6 As shown: A disinfection and cleaning device for a bronchoscope includes a housing 1 for storing a bronchoscope 5. The housing 1 has a cavity for containing disinfectant. The top of the housing 1 is also provided with a cover plate 11 for sealing the cavity. A control panel 12 for controlling the cleaning process is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1. The control panel 12 is electrically connected to an ultrasonic module for causing the disinfectant to vibrate at high frequency. The ultrasonic module includes an ultrasonic generator for generating ultrasonic waves and a transducer for converting ultrasonic waves into mechanical vibrations. The control panel 12, the ultrasonic generator, and the transducer are all prior art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment. A bracket 2 for holding the bronchoscope 5 is provided at the top of the cavity. The bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the housing 1.

[0050] The top of the support 2 is equipped with a delivery mechanism for connecting the bronchoscope 5 to deliver disinfectant or saline solution. The placement chamber has several vibration mechanisms arranged sequentially from top to bottom to agitate the cleaning solution inside. The delivery mechanism includes several connection ports 21 on the support 2, each connected to a connecting tube 4 for matching the input end of the bronchoscope 5. The bottom of the support 2 has several sliding plates 22, each corresponding to a connection port 21. A spring 24 supports the top of each sliding plate 22 and the bottom of the support 2. Cuffs 23 for engaging the bronchoscope 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the sliding plates 22. Different diameter pads slide within the cuffs 23, positioned between the bronchoscope 5 and the cuffs 23.

[0051] The vibration mechanism includes several guide plates 3, and the ultrasound module is located between adjacent guide plates 3; the guide plate 3 is provided with a detection mechanism for detecting the degree of curvature of the bronchoscope 5, and the control panel 12 is used to adjust the power of the ultrasound module based on the degree of curvature of the bronchoscope 5.

[0052] Furthermore, the adjacent guide plates 3 are arranged symmetrically with the placement cavity as the center. The guide plate 3 includes a first plate 31 and a second plate 32. A central shaft 35 is provided at the center of the first plate 31 and the second plate 32. The central shaft 35 is rotatably engaged with the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 respectively. The ultrasound module is located on the first plate 31 and the second plate 32.

[0053] The testing mechanism includes a groove 13 formed on the inner wall of the housing 1, an electric push rod that slides within the groove 13, the electric push rod being electrically connected to the control panel 12, the electric push rod being fixedly connected to the central shaft 35, and the central shaft 35 being slidably connected to the groove 13; magnet layers are fixedly connected to the first plate 31 and the second plate 32; a sliding shaft fixedly connected to the central shaft 35 is slidably connected within the housing 1; a hydraulic rod is hinged between the sliding shaft and the output end of the electric push rod; one end of the hydraulic rod is hinged to the output end of the electric push rod, and the other end of the hydraulic rod is hinged to a moving block that slides within the sliding block; the hydraulic rod is electrically connected to the control panel 12; and an adsorption layer corresponding to the magnet layer is fixedly connected to the sliding shaft.

[0054] The central shaft 35 has several exchange ports 33, and the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 each have several contact ports 34. The exchange ports 33 and the contact ports 34 are all connected to water pipes. The water pipes are located inside the central shaft 35, and a first flow velocity sensor for measuring the first real-time flow velocity is connected inside the water pipes. The end of the water pipe away from the exchange ports 33 is connected to a power component for generating negative pressure suction. The power component includes, but is not limited to, a water pump, a negative pressure pump, and an air compressor. The water pump, negative pressure pump, and air compressor are existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this embodiment. The flow velocity sensor and the power component are electrically connected to the control panel 12.

[0055] Both the exchange port 33 and the contact port 34 are equipped with solenoid valves, which are electrically connected to the control panel 12. The control panel 12 is used to input and store the valve hole position information corresponding to each solenoid valve, the first position information corresponding to the electric actuator movement distance, the second position information corresponding to the hydraulic rod movement distance on the first plate 31, and the third position information corresponding to the hydraulic rod on the second plate 32. Among them, the valve hole position information includes the solenoid valve position corresponding to the central shaft 35, the solenoid valve position corresponding to the first plate 31, and the solenoid valve position corresponding to the second plate 32. The first position information is associated with several second position information and third position information.

[0056] The control panel 12 is used to sequentially activate the solenoid valves based on the valve orifice position information, according to the control sequence of the solenoid valve position corresponding to the central axis 35, the solenoid valve position corresponding to the first plate 31, and the solenoid valve position corresponding to the second plate 32. In this embodiment, the activation of the solenoid valve corresponding to the central axis 35 is taken as an example. The first real-time flow rate at the current time is compared with the set standard value. If the first real-time flow rate is greater than or equal to the standard value, a maintenance command is sent to the electric actuator. If the first real-time flow rate is less than the standard value, a start command is sent to the corresponding solenoid valve based on the control sequence, and the first position information corresponding to the electric actuator's movement distance is output. At the same time, the first real-time flow rate corresponding to the start of the solenoid valve position corresponding to the first plate 31 and the solenoid valve position corresponding to the second plate 32 is obtained until the first real-time flow rate is less than the standard value. Then, the second position information corresponding to the movement distance of the hydraulic rod on the first plate 31 and the third position information corresponding to the hydraulic rod on the second plate 32 are output.

[0057] The control panel 12 is also used to input and store the rated power of the bronchoscope 5 in its normal bending state, and then output the corresponding first angle based on the first position information and the second position information, and output the corresponding second angle based on the first position information and the third position information. The difference between the first angle and the second angle is calculated, and the difference is compared with the set rated value. If the difference is greater than the rated value, the rated power is increased based on the ratio between the difference and the rated value. If the difference is less than or equal to the rated value, the rated power is sent to the ultrasound module.

[0058] For example, by controlling the start of the solenoid valve, the corresponding exchange port 33 or contact port 34 on the guide plate 3 is started and closed, so that the first real-time flow rate corresponds to the negative pressure suction flow rate at different positions, to determine whether the central shaft 35, the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 are in contact with the bronchoscope 5. During the contact process between the central shaft 35, the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 and the bronchoscope 5, the corresponding first position information, second position information and third position information are output to calculate the first angle and the second angle corresponding to the first plate 31 and the second plate 32. Based on the difference between the first angle and the second angle and the rated value, the power of the ultrasound module is adjusted. For the bronchoscope 5 area with a larger difference, the power is increased, so that any adhering substances that may exist on the inner surface of the bronchoscope 5 are discharged with the disinfectant or saline solution discharged from the connecting tube 4; it also facilitates the removal of any adhering substances that may exist inside the curved and folded parts of the outer wall of the bronchoscope 5, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0059] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0060] First, the bronchoscope 5 is installed in the collar 23 on the support 2, so that the bronchoscope 5 hangs naturally in the placement cavity inside the housing 1. The distance between adjacent guide plates 3 is adjusted in advance according to the number of bronchoscopes 5 on the support 2, so that the guide plates 3 can make contact with the surface of the bronchoscope 5.

[0061] During the disinfectant cleaning process inside the ultrasonic module's vibration placement chamber, the disinfectant vibration causes the sliding plate 22 to continuously compress the spring 24. The rebounding spring 24, through the sliding plate 22, drives the bronchoscope 5 to reciprocate, causing it to vibrate accordingly. This facilitates the removal of adhering substances from the surface of the bronchoscope 5 during cleaning, thereby improving cleaning efficiency. Simultaneously, spacers of different diameters are used to fit the bronchoscope 5 properly, improving its stability during installation and facilitating easy disassembly and installation.

[0062] During high-frequency ultrasonic vibration, other detection elements are prone to damage due to high-frequency vibration, resulting in a reduced service life. The negative pressure suction generated by the power component determines whether the exchange port 33 is in contact with an external object based on the change in liquid flow rate measured by the flow rate sensor. The sliding shaft is rotated by the hydraulic rod. The magnetic layers on the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 are used to adsorb and fix the adsorption layer. The rotation of the sliding shaft drives the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 to rotate on the central axis 35 in the opposite direction, controlling the rotation direction of the guide plate 3 so that the exchange port 33 on the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 can make contact with the bronchoscope 5.

[0063] The power unit continuously suctions through the water pipe, allowing any adhering substances that have fallen from the surface of the bronchoscope 5 to be promptly removed through the exchange port 33 and contact port 34. This reduces contact between the adhering substances and other components, ensuring the cleanliness of the disinfectant or saline solution inside the placement cavity, reducing the amount of subsequent cleaning, and facilitating subsequent disinfection procedures. Simultaneously, during the contact with the external environment through the exchange port 33 or contact port 34 of the detection mechanism, the real-time flow rate is used to determine whether contact with the bronchoscope 5 is necessary, thus confirming the degree of curvature of the bronchoscope 5 and allowing for localized disinfection based on its structural characteristics.

[0064] Example 2:

[0065] Combination such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that an auxiliary cleaning structure is provided between the connecting tube 4 and the input end of the bronchoscope 5.

[0066] The auxiliary cleaning mechanism includes several clamping plates 42 for holding the bronchoscope 5. The clamping plates 42 are rotatably engaged with a rotating shaft at the end of the connecting tube 4 away from the connecting port 21. A torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the connecting tube 4. The clamping plate 42 at one end of the rotating shaft is a first engaging block located outside the connecting tube 4. The clamping plate 42 at the other end of the rotating shaft is a second engaging block located inside the connecting tube 4. An arc-shaped mating block is fixedly connected to the side of the second engaging block away from the connecting tube 4.

[0067] Several branch pipes 41 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 4. One end of the branch pipe 41 is located on the side of the second locking block near the connecting pipe 4, and the other end of the branch pipe 41 is located on the end of the connecting pipe 4 near the connection port 21. A one-way valve is connected inside the branch pipe 41. The one-way valve can only allow the liquid in the branch pipe 41 to flow from the connection port 21 to the bronchoscope 5.

[0068] When the second locking block moves to the farthest point from the bronchus 41, the first locking block separates from the outer wall of the bronchoscope 5, and the mating block abuts against the inner wall of the bronchoscope 5; when the second locking block moves to the closest point from the bronchus 41, the second locking block abuts against the outer wall of the bronchoscope 5, and the mating block separates from the inner wall of the bronchoscope 5.

[0069] The specific implementation process is as follows: During the continuous infusion of disinfectant or saline solution into the bronchus tube 41, the one-way valve restricts the flow of disinfectant or saline solution, causing the clamping plate 42 to rotate. This causes the first locking block to loosen its external clamping of the bronchoscope 5, while the mating block continues to maintain the locking action on the bronchoscope 5, allowing the disinfectant or saline solution to clean the inlet end of the bronchoscope 5. Simultaneously, the reset torsion spring briefly overcomes the pushing action of the water flow from the bronchus tube 41 on the clamping plate 42, causing the first locking block of the clamping plate 42 to fix the bronchoscope 5 in place. This allows the disinfectant or saline solution to be continuously injected into the bronchoscope 5 for rinsing and cleaning, ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0070] Example 3:

[0071] The difference from Embodiment 2 is that a number of bristles (not shown in the figure) are fixedly connected to the first plate 31 and the second plate 32.

[0072] The specific implementation process is as follows: During the process of the ultrasonic module vibrating the disinfectant in the placement cavity, the high-frequency vibration of the disinfectant drives the bristles to contact the surface of the bronchoscope 5, which facilitates the disturbance of the gap between the bristles and the bronchoscope 5, making it easier for the surface deposits to fall off, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0073] Example 4:

[0074] The difference from Embodiment 3 is that a recycling tube (not shown in the figure) is connected to the bottom of the placement cavity, and several electric heating tubes (not shown in the figure) are also provided on the inner wall of the placement cavity. The electric heating tubes are electrically connected to the control panel 12.

[0075] The control panel 12 is also electrically connected to a temperature sensor located inside the water pipe. The temperature sensor measures the real-time temperature inside the water pipe. The control panel 12 compares the real-time temperature with the set disinfection temperature. If the real-time temperature is greater than or equal to the disinfection temperature, the disinfection time is recorded. The disinfection time is then compared with the set rated time. If the disinfection time is greater than or equal to the rated time, a shutdown command is sent to the electric heating element. If the disinfection time is less than the rated time, a maintenance command is sent to the electric heating element. If the real-time temperature is less than the disinfection temperature, a maintenance command is sent to the electric heating element.

[0076] The specific implementation process is as follows: After the bronchoscope 5 is cleaned, the disinfectant liquid inside the placement cavity is recovered through the recovery tube; then, the placement cavity is heated by the electric heating tube to reduce the risk of dust or bacteria in the air re-adhering to the surface of the moist bronchoscope 5 during contact with the outside air after the bronchoscope 5 is removed, thus ensuring the disinfection effect.

[0077] At the same time, the negative pressure suction generated by the power component is used to absorb the water mist generated during the drying process of the bronchoscope 5, so as to reduce the continuous contact between the water mist and the bronchoscope 5, facilitate the drying process, and improve the drying efficiency.

[0078] During the continuous heating and drying process, some heat is absorbed as the liquid water evaporates into water vapor, which slows down the heating rate (making it impossible to reach the rated sterilization temperature). The residual water vapor inside is continuously extracted through the exchange port 33 to determine the time it takes for the temperature sensor to reach the sterilization temperature, i.e., the residual water vapor extraction is completed. The sterilization time is compared to meet the drying requirements.

[0079] Example 5:

[0080] The difference from Embodiment 4 is that the control panel 12 also includes a display screen for displaying the cleaning process. A second flow rate sensor is also provided in the connection port 21. The second flow rate sensor is used to detect a second real-time flow rate within the connection port 21 and send the second real-time flow rate to the control panel 12. The control panel 12 compares the second real-time flow rate with a set standard value. If the second real-time flow rate is greater than the standard value, an abnormal display command is sent to the display screen; if the second real-time flow rate is less than or equal to the standard value, a normal display command is sent to the display screen.

[0081] For example, during the continuous delivery of disinfectant or saline solution to the bronchoscope 5 via the delivery mechanism, if the bronchoscope 5 is properly sealed, the flow rate inside the bronchoscope 5 remains at a normal flushing state while the liquid around the bronchoscope 5 is continuously aspirated at the exchange port 33. If the bronchoscope 5 leaks, the liquid inside the bronchoscope 5 will enter the placement chamber due to negative pressure suction, accelerating the flow rate of the bronchoscope 5. The flow rate is compared with the second real-time flow rate detected by the second flow rate sensor to alert whether the bronchoscope 5 is damaged or leaking, and to replace it in time.

[0082] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
