Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical device cleaning, and particularly to a rigid endoscope cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] A rigid endoscope is a medical device widely used in clinical medicine, mainly used for entering the human body through natural body cavities or surgical incisions for examination, diagnosis, and treatment operations. The rigid endoscope consists of a mirror body, instruments, and accessories, including an outer mirror tube, a mirror body, an optical fiber bundle interface, an eye-end connecting tube, an imaging interface, etc. In addition, the rigid endoscope is also equipped with a connecting cable for connecting devices such as a camera and a host. After use, the rigid endoscope needs to be cleaned and disinfected to prevent cross-infection. Currently, the cleaning of rigid endoscopes usually adopts the method of manual cleaning. During manual cleaning, the endoscope and the cable need to be bent and placed in a disinfection tank, and methods such as rinsing with running water and soaking with enzyme solution are used for cleaning;

[0003] During the cleaning process of the rigid endoscope, due to its complex structure and long connecting cable, the traditional manual cleaning method requires bending the endoscope and the cable and placing them in a disinfection tank for operation. However, this cleaning method has obvious limitations. In the bending parts of the endoscope and the folding parts of the connecting cable, these areas are easily overlooked, resulting in incomplete cleaning.

[0004] To solve the above problems, a rigid endoscope cleaning device is proposed in the present application. Summary of the Invention

[0011] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the scrubbing aeration member further includes air holes and a movable pipe. A movable pipe communicating with the inside thereof is connected to the brush barrel. The movable pipe slidably passes through the bottom of the fixed disk and is inserted into the ventilation pipe. A plurality of air holes are arranged at intervals on the outer periphery of the brush barrel and are in communication with the inside thereof.

[0012] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the elastic member includes a loading disk, a connecting rod, and a spring. The loading disk is arranged below the fixed disk. Two connecting rods are symmetrically installed on the loading disk. Both connecting rods slidably pass through the fixed disk. Springs are sleeved on the connecting rods, and the two ends of the springs are respectively connected to the loading disk and the fixed disk. The brush barrel is installed at the bottom of the loading disk.

[0013] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the columnar rolling member includes a rotating rod and a ball head. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the brush barrel. The bottom end of the rotating rod is in rolling connection with the ball head, and the ball head abuts against the top surface of the wave base.

[0014] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the air supply assembly includes a rotary joint, a gas guide hose, and a mounting bracket. Two mounting brackets are symmetrically installed on the loading seat. Rotary joints are installed on both mounting brackets. The two rotary joints are respectively located above the two ventilation pipes. The rotary air outlet end of the rotary joint is connected to the top end of the ventilation pipe. The inlet end of the rotary joint is connected to a gas guide hose, and the end of the gas guide hose away from the rotary joint is connected to an air pump.

[0015] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, clamping fixtures are installed on both inner walls of the cleaning tank. The two clamping fixtures are used to clamp both ends of the object and straighten it.

[0016] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the driving member includes a reciprocating lead screw, a guide rod and a motor. Two fixing blocks are symmetrically installed on the cleaning tank. A reciprocating lead screw is rotatably connected between the two fixing blocks.

The loading seat cooperates with the reciprocating lead screw, and the loading seat is slidably connected to the guide rod.

[0017] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, a drain pipe communicating with the inside of the cleaning tank is connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe.

[0018] The above technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0019] 1. The present invention straightens and fixes the endoscope and the cable thereon at the middle position inside the cleaning tank. The two brush scrubbing and aeration assemblies are respectively located on both sides of the endoscope, so that the brush scrubbing and aeration assemblies can fully cover the surfaces of the endoscope and the cable, avoiding the cleaning dead corners caused by bending in the traditional cleaning method. Subsequently, the disinfectant is poured into the cleaning tank. Then, the driving member can be used to drive the loading seat to reciprocate along the rack. Under the action of the rack, the brush scrubbing and aeration assemblies can rotate. The brush scrubbing and aeration members on the brush scrubbing and aeration assemblies can be used to scrub both sides of the endoscope, so that the stains on the endoscope can be effectively cleaned. Since the columnar rollers at the bottom of the brush scrubbing and aeration members are in contact with the wave base, when the brush scrubbing and aeration members rotate, the columnar rollers move on the wave base. Under the drive of the acting force, the brush scrubbing and aeration members move up and down. When the brush scrubbing and aeration members rotate and scrub the endoscope cable, they can scrub up and down, further enhancing the cleaning effect on the endoscope and the cable, effectively solving the problem of incomplete cleaning in the traditional cleaning method, and greatly improving the thoroughness of cleaning;

[0020] 2. When the endoscope and the cable are scrubbed by the brush scrubbing and aeration members, the gas supply assembly can be used to guide the gas into the brush scrubbing and aeration members, and then the gas is discharged into the disinfectant through the brush scrubbing and aeration members. Immediately, bubbles are generated in the disinfectant. These bubbles flow in the disinfectant and pass through the surfaces of the endoscope and the cable, which can better carry away the stains attached thereto. The dual effects of scrubbing and aeration make the stains easier to be removed under the combined action of mechanical scrubbing and bubble impact. Compared with the traditional manual cleaning method, the ability to remove stains on the endoscope and the cable is greatly enhanced, and the cleaning quality is improved;

[0021] 3. Through the cooperative action of the brushing and aeration component and the air supply component, the present invention realizes the synchronous brushing and aeration actions for the endoscope and the cable. The rotation and up-and-down movement of the brushing and aeration component can comprehensively and deeply brush the endoscope and the cable, and the bubbles generated by the air supply component further enhance the cleaning effect. This synergistic effect not only improves the cleaning efficiency, reduces the cleaning time, but also further enhances the cleaning effect, ensuring that the endoscope and the cable can reach a higher cleanliness standard after cleaning, providing better guarantee for subsequent disinfection and use.

Detailed implementation manners

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the detailed implementation manners and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, in the following descriptions, the descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessarily confusing the concepts of the present invention.

[0035] As Figure 1-11 shown, a rigid endoscope cleaning device proposed by the present invention includes a cleaning tank 1, a rack 101, a loading seat 2 and a driving member 3;

[0036] The rack 101 is horizontally arranged on the cleaning tank 1, the loading seat 2 is arranged below the rack 101, and a brushing and aeration assembly 4 which is symmetrically arranged and cooperates with the rack 101 is installed on the loading seat 2. A brushing channel is formed between the two brushing and aeration assemblies 4. An air supply assembly 5 for supplying air to the brushing and aeration assembly 4 is connected to the brushing and aeration assembly 4. The driving member 3 drives the loading seat 2 to reciprocate along the rack 101. When the loading seat 2 moves, it drives the brushing and aeration assembly 4 to rotate and move up and down;

[0037] The brushing and aeration assembly 4 includes an elastic member 41, a brushing and aeration member 42 and a columnar rolling member 43. The brushing and aeration member 42 is connected to the bottom of the elastic member 41 and is communicated with the air supply assembly 5. A wavy base 103 is integrally connected to the bottom inside the cleaning tank 1. The columnar rolling member 43 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the brushing and aeration member 42 and abuts against the wavy base 103.

[0038] The cleaning box 1 provides a storage space for the entire equipment, and the interior is used to place the hard endoscope to be cleaned and related components. The rack 101 is horizontally arranged on the cleaning box 1, serving as a guide for the movement of the loading seat 2 and a transmission structure of the driving component. The loading seat 2 is arranged below the rack 101 and is used to install the brush aeration component 4. It moves back and forth along the rack 101 under the action of the driving member 3, driving the brush aeration component 4 to move, thereby achieving comprehensive cleaning of the endoscope. The driving member 3 drives the loading seat 2 to move, so that the brush aeration component 4 can cover different positions of the endoscope. A brushing channel is formed between the two brush aeration components 4, which is convenient for the endoscope to be placed therein for cleaning, and the endoscope can be brushed from both sides during the movement to avoid cleaning dead corners. The air supply component 5 provides gas to the brush aeration component 4, so that an aeration effect is generated during the brushing process, thereby enhancing the cleaning ability.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the scrubbing aeration assembly 4 further includes a vent pipe 44, a fixed disk 45 and a gear 46. Two symmetrically arranged vent pipes 44 are rotatably connected to the loading base 2. The top of the vent pipe 44 is connected to the air supply assembly 5. Gears 46 are fixed to the two vent pipes 44. Gear blocks 106 are installed on both sides of the rack 101. The two gears 46 are respectively engaged with the gear blocks 106 on both sides of the rack 101. The bottom end of the vent pipe 44 is connected to the fixed disk 45, and the elastic member 41 is installed at the bottom of the fixed disk 45.

[0040] The vent pipe 44 is rotatably connected to the loading base 2, and its top end is connected to the air supply assembly 5 for conveying gas to the inside of the scrubbing and aeration assembly 4. The fixing plate 45 is connected to the bottom end of the vent pipe 44 to fix and support the elastic member 41. The gear 46 is fixed to the vent pipe 44 and meshes with the tooth blocks 106 on both sides of the rack 101. When the loading base 2 moves, the rack 101 rotates the vent pipe 44 through the meshing action of the tooth blocks 106 and the gear 46, thereby driving the entire scrubbing and aeration assembly 4 to rotate, ensuring all-round scrubbing of the endoscope.

[0041] The loading seat 2 moves under the action of the driving member 3, the tooth block 106 of the rack 101 drives the gear 46 to rotate, and the gear 46 drives the vent pipe 44 and its connected parts to rotate. At the same time, the gas of the air supply assembly 5 enters the scrubbing aeration assembly 4 through the vent pipe 44.

[0042] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment, the scrubbing and aeration member 42 includes a brush barrel 421. The brush barrel 421 is connected to the bottom of the elastic member 41. Radially distributed bristles 422 are connected to the outer periphery of the brush barrel 421. A columnar rolling member 43 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the brush barrel 421. The brush barrel 421 is connected to the bottom of the elastic member 41, and the bristles 422 on its outer periphery directly contact the surface of the endoscope for scrubbing operations, which can effectively remove stains. The columnar rolling member 43 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the brush barrel 421 and abuts against the wavy base 103. When the brush barrel 421 rotates, the columnar rolling member 43 rolls on the wavy base 103, causing the brush barrel 421 to move up and down, enhancing the scrubbing effect on the endoscope, especially for the curved parts of the endoscope and the folded parts of the cable that are not easy to clean, which can be better cleaned.

[0043] Driven by the rotation of the ventilation pipe 44, the brush barrel 421 rotates, and its bristles 422 scrub the endoscope. At the same time, the columnar rolling member 43 rolls on the wavy base 103 to promote the up and down movement of the brush barrel 421, realizing a comprehensive and in-depth cleaning of the endoscope.

[0044] As Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, in this embodiment, the scrubbing and aeration member 42 further includes air holes 423 and a movable pipe 424. A movable pipe 424 connected to the inside of the brush barrel 421 is connected to the brush barrel 421. The movable pipe 424 slidably passes through the bottom of the fixed disk 45 and is inserted into the ventilation pipe 44. A number of spaced-apart air holes 423 communicating with the inside are provided on the outer periphery of the brush barrel 421. The movable pipe 424 is connected to the brush barrel 421 and communicates with the inside, slidably passes through the bottom of the fixed disk 45 and is inserted into the ventilation pipe 44, ensuring that gas smoothly enters the brush barrel 421 from the gas supply assembly 5 through the ventilation pipe 44 and the movable pipe 424. The air holes 423 are provided on the outer periphery of the brush barrel 421 and communicate with the inside, enabling the gas entering the brush barrel 421 to be discharged into the disinfectant to generate bubbles. The bubbles impact the surface of the endoscope during the flowing process, assisting the bristles 422 in cleaning and taking away stains, improving the cleaning effect.

[0045] The gas supply assembly 5 conveys gas. The gas enters the brush barrel 421 through the ventilation pipe 44 and the movable pipe 424, and then is discharged through the air holes 423 to form bubbles. At the same time, the brush barrel 421 uses the bristles 422 to clean the endoscope during rotation and up and down movement.

[0046] As Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic member 41 includes a loading plate 411, a connecting rod 412, and a spring 413. The loading plate 411 is arranged below the fixed plate 45. Two connecting rods 412 are symmetrically installed on the loading plate 411. Both connecting rods 412 slide through the fixed plate 45. A spring 413 is sleeved on the connecting rod 412, and the two ends of the spring 413 are respectively connected to the loading plate 411 and the fixed plate 45. The brush barrel 421 is installed at the bottom of the loading plate 411. The loading plate 411 is arranged below the fixed plate 45 and is used to install the brush barrel 421. The connecting rods 412 are symmetrically installed on the loading plate 411 and slide through the fixed plate 45, providing an installation support structure for the spring 413 and ensuring that the loading plate 411 can move up and down relative to the fixed plate 45. The spring 413 is sleeved on the connecting rod 412 and its two ends are respectively connected to the loading plate 411 and the fixed plate 45, playing a buffering and resetting role. When the columnar rolling member 43 moves on the wavy base 103 and causes the brush barrel 421 to move up and down, the spring 413 can keep the brush barrel 421 in a stable movement state, avoiding excessive impact from damaging the equipment or affecting the cleaning effect.

[0047] When the columnar rolling member 43 moves, it drives the loading plate 411 to drive the brush barrel 421 to move up and down. At this time, the connecting rod 412 slides in the fixed plate 45, and the spring 413 expands and contracts to provide a buffering and resetting force, ensuring the normal cleaning action of the brush barrel 421.

[0048] As Figure 3 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, in this embodiment, the columnar rolling member 43 includes a rotating rod 431 and a ball head 432. The rotating rod 431 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the brush barrel 421, providing a rotating support for the ball head 432, enabling the ball head 432 to roll flexibly on the wavy base 103. The bottom end of the rotating rod 431 is rotatably connected to the ball head 432, and the ball head 432 abuts against the top surface of the wavy base 103. When the brush barrel 421 rotates, due to the wavy structure of the wavy base 103, the ball head 432 will generate a vertical displacement during the rolling process, thereby driving the brush barrel 421 to move up and down, achieving a better cleaning effect on the endoscope.

[0049] When the brush barrel 421 rotates, the ball head 432 on the rotating rod 431 rolls on the wavy base 103. Due to the shape of the wavy base 103, the height of the ball head 432 changes, thereby pushing the brush barrel 421 to move up and down for cleaning.

[0050] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the air supply assembly 5 includes a rotary joint 51, a gas guide hose 52 and a mounting bracket 53. Two mounting brackets 53 are symmetrically mounted on the loading seat 2. Rotary joints 51 are mounted on both of the two mounting brackets 53. The two rotary joints 51 are respectively located above the two ventilation pipes 44. The rotary air outlet end of the rotary joint 51 is connected to the top end of the ventilation pipe 44. The air inlet end of the rotary joint 51 is connected with the gas guide hose 52, which can ensure the stable delivery of gas when the ventilation pipe 44 rotates, avoiding the distortion of the gas delivery pipeline due to rotation and affecting the air supply. The end of the gas guide hose 52 far from the rotary joint 51 is connected to an air pump, which delivers the gas generated by the air pump to the rotary joint 51 and then into the ventilation pipe 44, providing a continuous and stable gas source for the scrubbing and aeration assembly 4 to realize the aeration cleaning function;

[0051] The air pump generates gas, which is delivered to the rotary joint 51 through the gas guide hose 52. The rotary joint 51 stably delivers the gas into the ventilation pipe 44 during the movement of the loading seat 2 and the rotation of the ventilation pipe 44, providing aeration support for cleaning.

[0052] As Figure 2 shown in Figure 11 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, clamping fixtures 102 are mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the cleaning tank 1. The two clamping fixtures 102 are used to clamp both ends of an object and keep it straight; the clamping fixtures 102 are mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the cleaning tank 1 and are used to clamp both ends of a rigid endoscope, keeping it straight during the cleaning process, facilitating the scrubbing and aeration assembly 4 to comprehensively clean the endoscope and the cable, avoiding cleaning dead angles caused by the bending of the endoscope or the winding of the cable, and ensuring the cleaning effect;

[0053] Place the rigid endoscope in the cleaning tank 1, clamp both ends of the endoscope through the clamping fixtures 102 to keep it straight, and then perform the cleaning operation to ensure that the scrubbing and aeration assembly 4 can effectively clean all parts of the endoscope.

[0054] As Figure 1 shown in Figure 2As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the driving member 3 includes a reciprocating lead screw 31, a guide rod 32 and a motor 33. Two fixing blocks 104 are symmetrically installed on the cleaning tank 1. The reciprocating lead screw 31 is rotatably connected between the two fixing blocks 104. The guide rod 32 is fixed between the two fixing blocks 104 and is parallel to the reciprocating lead screw 31. A motor 33 located at one end of the reciprocating lead screw 31 is installed on the side surface of the fixing block 104. The output end of the motor 33 is connected to one end of the reciprocating lead screw 31. The loading seat 2 is sleeved on the reciprocating lead screw 31 and the guide rod 32. The loading seat 2 cooperates with the reciprocating lead screw 31 and is slidably connected to the guide rod 32. The reciprocating lead screw 31 is rotatably connected between the two fixing blocks 104 of the cleaning tank 1 and is driven by the motor 33 to rotate. The guide rod 32 is fixed between the two fixing blocks 104 and is parallel to the reciprocating lead screw 31, providing stable moving guidance for the loading seat 2 to ensure that the loading seat 2 does not shift during the reciprocating movement. The motor 33 is installed on the side surface of the fixing block 104, and the output end is connected to one end of the reciprocating lead screw 31. Starting the motor 33 drives the reciprocating lead screw 31 to rotate, so that the loading seat 2 makes a reciprocating linear motion along the rack 101 under the cooperation of the reciprocating lead screw 31 and the guide rod 32, driving the brush aeration assembly 4 to clean the endoscope comprehensively;

[0055] When the motor 33 is started, it drives the reciprocating lead screw 31 to rotate. Under the thread drive of the reciprocating lead screw 31 and the guiding action of the guide rod 32, the loading seat 2 makes a reciprocating movement along the rack 101, causing the gear 46 to drive the ventilation pipe 44 to rotate under the action of the tooth block 106 on the rack 101, so that the brush aeration assembly 4 cleans the endoscope.

[0056] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a drain pipe 105 communicating with the inside is connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 for discharging the sewage after cleaning. A valve is installed on the drain pipe 105 to control the timing of sewage discharge. After the cleaning is completed, the valve is opened to discharge the sewage from the cleaning tank 1 for the next cleaning or equipment maintenance;

[0057] During the cleaning process, the valve is closed, and the sewage remains in the cleaning tank 1. After the cleaning is completed, the valve is opened, and the sewage is discharged through the drain pipe 105 under the action of gravity.

[0058] The specific working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0059] First, place the rigid endoscope and the cable in the cleaning box 1. Clamp and straighten both ends of the endoscope through the fixture 102 so that it is located in the cleaning channel between the two brush scrubbing and aeration components 4. Then, pour disinfectant into the cleaning box 1 and start the motor 33. The motor 33 drives the reciprocating lead screw 31 to rotate, causing the loading seat 2 to move reciprocally along the rack 101 under the guiding action of the guiding rod 32 and the driving action of the rack 101. The air pipe 44 on the loading seat 2 rotates under the meshing of the gear 46 and the tooth block 106 of the rack 101, thereby driving the brush scrubbing and aeration component 4 to rotate. Among them, the bristles 422 of the brush barrel 421 scrub the endoscope. At the same time, the columnar rolling member 43 rolls on the wavy base 103, prompting the brush barrel 421 to move up and down to enhance the cleaning effect. The air pump in the air supply component 5 generates gas, which enters the brush barrel 421 through the air guiding hose 52, the rotary joint 51, the air pipe 44, and the movable pipe 424, and then is discharged from the air holes 423 to form bubbles. The bubbles flow in the disinfectant and impact the surface of the endoscope to assist in cleaning. After the cleaning is completed, open the valve on the drain pipe 105 to discharge the sewage. During the whole process, each component works together to achieve a comprehensive cleaning of the rigid endoscope and the cable, avoiding the dead angle problem of traditional manual cleaning and improving the cleaning quality and efficiency.

[0060] It should be understood that the above specific embodiments of the present invention are only used for exemplary illustration or explanation of the principle of the present invention, and do not constitute a limitation to the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
