Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of endoscopic disinfection technology in otolaryngology, specifically to an endoscopic disinfection device. Background Technology

[0002] The Department of Otolaryngology is a hospital department that treats diseases related to the ears, nose, and throat. When examining patients with ear, nose, and throat conditions, nasal endoscopes and laryngoscopes are usually used. Clinically, examinations of ENT patients mainly involve nasal endoscopes and laryngoscopes, which consist of an endoscope inserted into the body and an external operating part and optical cable. Because the endoscope inserted into the body is in direct contact with the laryngeal tissues, it is covered with a large amount of mucus, blood, and tissue debris. After use, it must be strictly cleaned and disinfected before it can be used to examine other people, otherwise it will cause the spread of diseases and cross-infection.

[0003] Based on the above findings of the inventors, the existing methods have the following main shortcomings. For example, after cleaning, the ENT endoscope needs to be placed in a tray for sterilization, and then sterilized by ultraviolet light. Since the endoscope is placed on the tray, its bottom is blocked by the tray, so the bottom of the endoscope cannot be exposed to ultraviolet light, thus affecting the sterilization effect of the ENT endoscope. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that when an endoscope is placed on a tray, the bottom of the endoscope is blocked by the tray, resulting in the bottom of the endoscope not being exposed to ultraviolet light, which affects the effectiveness of the ENT endoscope. Therefore, an ENT endoscope disinfection device is proposed.

[0005] To address the above problems, the present invention provides an ENT endoscope disinfection device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: an ENT endoscope disinfection device, the structure of which includes a disinfection device shell, the front end of which is rotatably connected to a door, a control panel installed on the right side of the disinfection device shell, a disinfection chamber inside the disinfection device shell, a water filter tray at the bottom of the disinfection chamber, two ultraviolet lamps installed at both ends of the inner side of the disinfection device shell, six fans at the top of the disinfection device shell, and air guides connected to the disinfection chamber at the lower end of the fans, with heating tubes inside the air guides. The invention is characterized in that: three support frames and two transmission devices are horizontally arranged at the rear end of the disinfection chamber, with the two transmission devices installed between the three support frames.

[0007] Furthermore, the transmission device includes a support base fixedly installed at the rear end of the disinfection chamber, and the front end of the support base is rotatably connected to the transmission structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the support base is equipped with a servo motor, which meshes with a transmission rod via a gear disk, and the transmission rod is meshed with a transmission structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the transmission structure includes a supporting shell, which is rotatably connected to a support base via a connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft is meshed with a transmission rod. The front and rear ends of the supporting shell are provided with transmission rollers, which are fixedly installed on both sides of the inside of the supporting shell via support bearings. The end faces of the two transmission rollers are connected by a transmission belt. The transmission roller at the rear end is connected to a second servo motor via a belt. The second servo motor is fixedly installed via a crossbar, and the crossbar is connected to both sides of the inside of the supporting shell.

[0010] Furthermore, after the transmission structure rotates upward by 90 degrees, the end face of the transmission belt can support the bottom of the ENT endoscope placed in the three support frames.

[0011] Furthermore, the support frame includes a support rod and a support ring, which are fixedly connected.

[0012] Furthermore, the rear end of the support rod is provided with a threaded block that is threadedly connected to the rear end of the disinfection chamber, and the end face of the threaded block is provided with a locking bolt, which locks the support rod to the rear end face of the disinfection chamber.

[0013] Furthermore, the end face of the support ring is provided with a slit, the end face of the support ring is slidably engaged with the sliding tube, the support ring is provided with a protrusion at the slit position to limit the sliding tube, the top of the sliding tube is provided with a sliding block, and the bottom inner side of the support ring is provided with four ball bearings. Beneficial effects

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention utilizes the fact that the end face of the transmission belt can contact the bottom end face of the ENT endoscope, and then the servo motor drives the transmission roller to rotate through the belt, so that the transmission roller can drive the transmission belt to move and rub against the bottom of the ENT endoscope, thereby causing the ENT endoscope to rotate in the three support frames, so that the ENT endoscope can disinfect bacteria from all directions.

[0015] 2. This invention utilizes a pulling protrusion to drive a sliding tube to slide on the end face of a support ring to close the incision, allowing the ENT endoscope to be stably placed inside the support ring for rotation. Furthermore, the ball bearings reduce the friction between the ENT endoscope and the end face of the support ring, enabling the ENT endoscope to rotate smoothly for drying and sterilization.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-5 The specific embodiments of the present invention are as follows: Its structure includes a disinfection device housing 1, the front end of which is rotatably connected to a door 2. A control panel 3 is installed on the right side of the disinfection device housing 1. Inside the disinfection device housing 1, there is a disinfection chamber 18. A water filter tray 13 is installed at the bottom of the disinfection chamber 18. Two ultraviolet lamps 14 are installed at each of the two inner ends of the disinfection device housing 1. Six fans 15 are installed at the top of the disinfection device housing 1, and air guides 16 are provided at the lower end of the fans 15, which are connected to the disinfection chamber 18. A heating tube 17 is installed inside the air guide 16. The characteristic feature is that the rear end of the disinfection chamber 18 is horizontal. The device is equipped with three support frames 11 and two transmission devices 12. The two transmission devices 12 are installed between the three support frames 11. In use, the cleaned ENT endoscope is placed in the three support frames 11, and the ENT endoscope is rotated in the three support frames 11 by the transmission devices 12. The six fans 15 drive the external airflow to flow to the air guide 16. When the airflow passes through the air guide 16, it comes into contact with the heating tube 17 to form hot air that moves into the disinfection chamber 18 to dry the moisture on the end face of the ENT endoscope. Then, the surface of the ENT endoscope is sterilized by the four ultraviolet lamps 14 on both sides of the disinfection chamber 18.

[0027] The transmission device 12 includes a support base 121 fixedly installed at the rear end of the disinfection chamber 18. The front end of the support base 121 is rotatably connected to the transmission structure 122. In use, the transmission structure 122 rotates upward 90 degrees and contacts the bottom of the ENT endoscope placed in the support frame 11, thereby driving it to rotate.

[0028] The support base 121 is equipped with a servo motor 1211. The servo motor 1211 meshes with the transmission rod 1213 through a gear disk 1212. The transmission rod 1213 is meshed with the transmission structure 122. In use, the servo motor 1211 drives the gear disk 1212 to rotate and mesh with the transmission rod 1213. The transmission rod 1213 then meshes with the transmission structure 122, allowing the transmission structure 122 to rotate upwards by 90 degrees and downwards by 90 degrees to reset.

[0029] The transmission structure 122 includes a supporting shell 1221, which is rotatably connected to a support base 121 via a connecting shaft 1222. The connecting shaft 1222 is meshed with a transmission rod 1213. Transmission rollers 1224 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the interior of the supporting shell 1221. The transmission rollers 1224 are fixedly installed on both sides of the interior of the supporting shell 1221 via a support bearing 1223. The end faces of the two transmission rollers 1224 are connected via a transmission belt 1227. The transmission roller 1224 at the rear end is connected to a second servo motor 1225 via a belt 1226. The second servo motor 1225 is fixedly installed via a crossbar 1228, which is connected to both sides of the interior of the supporting shell 1221. In use, the second servo motor 1225 drives the transmission rollers 1224 to rotate via the belt 1226, causing the transmission rollers 1224 to move and rub against the bottom of the ENT endoscope, thus rotating the ENT endoscope.

[0030] After the transmission structure 122 rotates upward by 90 degrees, the end face of the transmission belt 1227 can support the bottom of the ENT endoscope placed in the three support frames 11.

[0031] Based on the above embodiments, the specific working principle is as follows: When disinfecting the ENT endoscope, the cleaned ENT endoscope can be placed in three support frames 11, and then the ENT endoscope is rotated in the three support frames 11 by the transmission device 12. Then, the external airflow is driven by the six fans 15 to flow to the air guide 16. When the airflow passes through the air guide 16, it comes into contact with the heating tube 17 to form hot air that moves into the disinfection chamber 18 to dry the moisture on the end face of the ENT endoscope. Then, the surface of the ENT endoscope is sterilized by the four ultraviolet lamps 14 on both sides of the disinfection chamber 18. Then, the transmission structure 122 rotates upward 90 degrees to contact the bottom of the ENT endoscope placed in the support frame 11 and rotates it, so that the ENT endoscope can be dried and disinfected in all directions by rotation. When the transmission device 12 is working, the servo motor 1211 drives the gear disk 1212 to rotate and mesh with the transmission rod 1213. The transmission rod 1213 then meshes with the transmission structure 122, allowing the transmission structure 122 to rotate upwards by 90 degrees. This allows the end face of the transmission belt 1227 to contact the bottom end face of the ENT endoscope. The servo motor 1225 then drives the transmission roller 1224 to rotate via the belt 1226. This causes the transmission roller 1224 to move the transmission belt 1227 and rub against the bottom of the ENT endoscope, thereby causing the ENT endoscope to rotate and be disinfected within the three support frames 11. After disinfection, the servo motor 1211 drives the gear disk 1212 to rotate and mesh with the transmission rod 1213. The transmission rod 1213 then meshes with the transmission structure 122, allowing the transmission structure 122 to rotate downwards by 90 degrees to reset, making it convenient for the next disinfection.

[0032] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 6-8 The specific embodiments of the present invention are as follows: The support frame 11 includes a support rod 111 and a support ring 114. The support rod 111 and the support ring 114 are fixedly connected. In use, the support rod 111 supports the support ring 114, so that the ENT endoscope can be placed on the end face of the support ring 114 for drying and disinfection.

[0033] The rear end of the support rod 111 is provided with a threaded block 112 that is threadedly connected to the rear end of the disinfection chamber 18. The end face of the threaded block 112 is provided with a locking bolt 113. The locking bolt 113 locks the support rod 111 to the rear end face of the disinfection chamber 18. In use, by rotating the support rod 111, it is threadedly connected to the disinfection chamber 18 through the threaded block 112, and then tightened by the locking bolt 113 to rub against the end face of the disinfection chamber 18, thereby improving the stability of the support rod 111 installation.

[0034] The end face of the support ring 114 is provided with a slit, and the end face of the support ring 114 is slidably engaged with the sliding tube 115. The support ring 114 is provided with a protrusion 117 at the slit position to limit the sliding tube 115. The top of the sliding tube 115 is provided with a sliding block 118. The bottom inner side of the support ring 114 is provided with four ball bearings 116. In use, by pulling the protrusion 117, the sliding tube 115 is moved to slide on the end face of the support ring 114 to close the slit, so that the ENT endoscope can be stably placed inside the support ring 114 for rotation, drying and disinfection.

[0035] Based on the above embodiments, the specific working principle is as follows: The support rod 111 supports the support ring 114, making the three support rings 114 perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Then, the pulling protrusion 117 drives the sliding tube 115 to slide on the end face of the support ring 114 to close the incision, which allows the ENT endoscope to be stably placed inside the support ring 114 for rotation. Then, the ball bearing 116 reduces the friction between the ENT endoscope and the end face of the support ring 114, allowing the ENT endoscope to rotate smoothly for drying and disinfection. After disinfection, the sliding protrusion 117 drives the sliding tube 115 to slide to the upper end of the support ring 114 to open the incision, making it easy to remove the disinfected ENT endoscope.

[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0037] Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
