Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a gynecological surgical suction tube cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern medical system, gynecology, as an important clinical specialty, is a branch of obstetrics and gynecology. It focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of various gynecological diseases in women, characterized by its high level of specialization and targeted approach. The female reproductive system is extremely complex and sensitive, and gynecological diseases refer to a wide range of conditions affecting this system, including but not limited to vulvar diseases, vaginal diseases, uterine diseases, fallopian tube diseases, and ovarian diseases. These diseases not only seriously impact women's physical health but may also affect their fertility and quality of life.

[0003] Medical instruments play a crucial role in gynecological examinations and treatments. Among them, gynecological suction tubes are a commonly used tool. Functionally, gynecological suction tubes are primarily used to suction or transfer objects, holding an indispensable position in gynecological surgeries and examinations. Take gynecological dilation and curettage (D&C) as an example; this is a common gynecological procedure used to remove the embryo and remaining tissues from the uterus. During the procedure, the gynecological suction tube is a key tool for achieving this goal. Through its suction function, it effectively removes embryonic tissue and other remnants from the uterus, thus completing the surgical procedure. However, after use, gynecological suction tubes are prone to leaving residues inside. These residues mainly originate from the human tissue, blood, and secretions suctioned during the procedure. If not cleaned promptly, these residues can not only breed bacteria, affecting the tube's reusability, but may also lead to serious consequences such as cross-infection. Therefore, timely and effective cleaning of used gynecological suction tubes is essential.

[0004] Under current technological conditions, there are many problems with cleaning gynecological suction tubes. The procurement threshold for professional, fully automated medical suction tube cleaning equipment is high, so in most cases, manual cleaning is used to save costs. This method requires operators to manually rinse and wipe the tubes. However, this cleaning method is inefficient because manual operation has limited speed and requires a significant amount of manpower and time. Moreover, manual cleaning makes it difficult to ensure that every stain inside is thoroughly cleaned, leaving blind spots. Especially after surgery, if cleaning is not done promptly or in time due to busy schedules, the stains remaining on the gynecological suction tubes become more stubborn over time. These stubborn stains adhere to the inner wall of the suction tube, further increasing the difficulty of cleaning and making it difficult for existing cleaning methods to achieve ideal cleaning results. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing gynecological surgical suction tube cleaning techniques, such as incomplete cleaning, low efficiency, easy damage to instruments, and infection risks. It provides a gynecological surgical suction tube cleaning device with a reasonable structure, convenient operation, and excellent cleaning effect. By combining mechanical rotation cleaning with ultraviolet sterilization, it achieves all-round cleaning of the inner and outer walls of the suction tube, while improving cleaning efficiency, reducing labor costs, and ensuring medical safety.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A gynecological surgical suction tube cleaning device includes a cleaning box body with a cleaning chamber inside. A removable splash-proof cover is provided at the top opening of the cleaning box body corresponding to the cleaning chamber. A cleaning brush is installed in the cleaning chamber, and a cleaning seat is provided below the cleaning brush. One end of the cleaning seat has a plug for connecting the surgical suction tube. One end of the cleaning box body has a water inlet for connecting to an external water pump or high-pressure water tap. A transmission device is provided between the water inlet and the cleaning brush. The transmission device converts the water flowing in from the water inlet into power to drive the cleaning brush to rotate. After the water source enters the water inlet, it impacts the cleaning brush and causes it to rotate, thereby cleaning the surgical suction tube.

[0007] Preferably, the splash-proof cover is plugged into the top of the cleaning box, the bottom of the splash-proof cover is provided with multiple vertical inserts, and the top of the cleaning box is provided with multiple vertical slots. The vertical inserts and vertical slots are plugged into each other and installed with an interference fit.

[0008] Preferably, a transfer device is provided between the cleaning brush and the water inlet. An impeller is integrated inside the transfer device. One end of the impeller is rotatably connected to the transfer device, and the other end is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush.

The surgical suction tube and the circular socket are interlocked and installed with an interference fit.

[0011] Preferably, the cleaning seat has a hollow structure in the middle, and both ends of the cleaning seat are provided with limiting side plates. Each of the two limiting side plates is provided with a drainage port. The number of drainage ports is set to multiple, and the diameter of the drainage port is different from that of the backflow port. The diameter of the drainage port is smaller than that of the backflow port.

[0012] Preferably, the other end of the box is provided with a water outlet, which is connected to the internal cleaning chamber of the cleaning box. Both the water inlet and the water outlet are provided with threaded structures.

[0013] Preferably, the internal cleaning chamber of the cleaning box is further provided with ultraviolet germicidal lamps. The ultraviolet germicidal lamps are arranged in an array structure. The ultraviolet germicidal lamps are arranged in two groups and installed on the side walls at both ends of the cleaning chamber. A driving component is provided on the external side wall of the cleaning box. The driving component is used to drive the ultraviolet germicidal lamps to operate.

[0014] Preferably, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp tube is provided with a waterproof insert plate, the waterproof insert plate is a sealed structure, the cleaning box body, the splash-proof cover and the waterproof insert plate are all made of plastic material, the cleaning box body is made of opaque plastic material, and the splash-proof cover and the waterproof insert plate are made of transparent plastic material.

[0015] Preferably, the cleaning brush has multiple bristles evenly arranged on it, the bristles are made of a flexible material, such as rubber, silicone or plastic, and the diameter of the cleaning brush is the same as the diameter of the cleaning base.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. The gynecological surgical suction tube cleaning device described in this invention uses water flow to drive the cleaning brush to rotate, combined with the suction tube's self-rotation design, to achieve thorough cleaning of the inner and outer walls of the suction tube without dead angles. Combined with water flow rinsing from the guide port, it can effectively remove stubborn stains such as residual tissue debris and blood secretions, improving the cleaning qualification rate compared to manual cleaning.

[0017] 2. The gynecological surgical suction tube cleaning device described in this invention uses medical-grade flexible material for the bristles of the cleaning brush, which, together with the buffering effect of the silicone round sleeve, avoids hard damage to the inner wall of the suction tube while cleaning efficiently, thus extending the service life of the instrument and reducing the instrument procurement cost for medical institutions.

[0018] 3. The gynecological surgical suction tube cleaning device described in this invention uses an array of ultraviolet germicidal lamps to form a sterilization area without dead angles.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the present invention provides a gynecological surgical suction tube cleaning device, including a cleaning box 1, a detachable splash-proof cover 2, a sealed cleaning chamber inside the cleaning box 1, a rotatable cleaning brush 3 installed in the cleaning chamber, a cleaning seat 4 fixedly installed below the cleaning brush 3, a plug 5 integrally formed at one end of the cleaning seat 4 for precisely inserting surgical suction tubes of different specifications, the surgical suction tube is stably fixed by inserting it into the plug 5; a water inlet 6 is provided through one end of the cleaning box 1, the water inlet 6 adopts a threaded connection structure for connecting an external water pump or high-pressure water tap, a transmission device 9 is provided between the water inlet 6 and the cleaning brush 3, the transmission device 9 is used to convert the water source flowing in from the water inlet 6 into the power to drive the cleaning brush 3 to rotate. After the water source is introduced into the water inlet 6, the water flow drives the cleaning brush 3 to rotate at high speed through the transmission device 9, rotating and brushing the outer wall of the surgical suction tube, while the water source flowing out from the guide port 10 rinses the inner wall of the surgical suction tube.

[0024] Specifically, the splash-proof cover 2 is plug-in installed on the top of the cleaning chamber 1. The bottom of the splash-proof cover 2 has three vertical insert plates 7 integrally formed, and the top of the cleaning chamber 1 has three corresponding vertical slots 8. The vertical insert plates 7 and the vertical slots 8 are installed using an interference fit, with a sealing gap of less than 0.1mm. This sealing gap not only allows for quick installation and removal of the cover but also effectively prevents water splashing during cleaning, while ensuring the sealing of the cleaning chamber, increasing water flow impact pressure, and enhancing the cleaning effect. A transmission device 9 is installed between the cleaning brush 3 and the water inlet 6. The transmission device 9 integrates a turbine impeller. One end of the impeller is rotatably connected to the transmission device 9 via a waterproof bearing, and the other end is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush 3 via a coupling. The other end of the cleaning brush 3 is equipped with a stainless steel rotating shaft, which is rotatably connected to the other end of the cleaning base via a bearing. When water flows into the transmission device 9 through the water inlet 6, the impeller rotates at high speed, thereby driving the cleaning brush 3 to rotate synchronously. Its speed can be adjusted according to the water pressure. For example, by adjusting the water pressure to 0.2-0.5 MPa and referring to the resistance of the water flow channel and the water inlet, the brush speed can be adjusted to the range of 300-500 r / min to achieve efficient brushing. One end of the plug 5 is connected to the water flow channel inside the transmission device 9. Multiple guide ports 10 can be evenly opened on the plug 5. The surgical suction tube is mounted on the circular sleeve 11 to achieve rotation on the plug 5. Water is sprayed through the guide port 10 onto the inner wall of the straw, which helps to rinse the dirt on the inner wall and generates a reverse thrust to drive the straw to rotate slowly, so that the cleaning brush 3 can evenly brush every area of ​​the inner wall of the straw and avoid cleaning dead corners.

[0025] The front end of the plug 5 is provided with a round sleeve 11, which is rotatably mounted on the plug 5 by means of a food-grade ball bearing. The round sleeve 11 is made of medical-grade silicone material and its inner wall is provided with anti-slip texture. The ball bearing is made of 304 stainless steel material and has good corrosion resistance. The surgical suction tube and the round sleeve 11 are connected by an interference fit. If the fit tolerance is 0.05-0.1mm, it can not only ensure the installation of the suction tube is stable, but also achieve smooth self-rotation. At the same time, the silicone material can avoid hard damage to the suction tube.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, a surgical suction tube holder is also provided at the other end of the cleaning seat 4. The holder has an open arc-shaped slot. The arc of the slot matches the arc of the outer wall of the surgical suction tube, which is used to support the surgical suction tube. The surgical suction tube can rotate in the slot to ensure that it can obtain a stable support effect during the rotation cleaning process.

[0027] The cleaning seat 4 is a frame structure with a hollow center. Both ends of the cleaning seat 4 have integrally formed limiting side plates 12. Multiple drainage ports 13 are provided on each of the two limiting side plates 12. For example, the diameter of the drainage port 13 is set to 2mm, while the diameter of the guide port 10 is set to 5mm. The smaller diameter of the drainage port 13 compared to the guide port 10 allows for partial retention of water flow within the cleaning chamber (low-speed outflow). This ensures that the water flow continuously and thoroughly coats the surface of the suction tube within the cleaning chamber, while avoiding insufficient cleaning due to excessively fast water flow. Simultaneously, the multiple drainage ports 13 effectively prevent water accumulation within the chamber, ensuring continuous water renewal during the cleaning process. Furthermore, because the cleaning seat 4 contains pre-stored water, the surgical suction tube is slightly lifted by the buoyancy of the water, which improves its rotation efficiency. The other end of the cleaning box 1 is provided with a water outlet 14, which is connected to the internal cleaning chamber of the cleaning box 1. Both the water inlet 6 and the water outlet 14 are provided with standard pipe thread structure, which can be adapted to common water pipe joints on the market, making it convenient to connect with cleaning equipment, sewage collection devices, etc., to realize the integrated cleaning and drainage process. The internal cleaning chamber of the cleaning box 1 is also equipped with ultraviolet germicidal lamps 15. The ultraviolet germicidal lamps 15 are LED array structures with a wavelength of 254nm, which have high-efficiency sterilization performance. The ultraviolet germicidal lamps 15 are set in two groups and symmetrically installed on the two end side walls of the cleaning chamber to form a 360° sterilization area without dead angles. The external side wall of the cleaning box 1 is equipped with a drive assembly 16, which includes a power module, a timer control module and a switch button, and is used to drive the ultraviolet germicidal lamps 15 to operate. It can achieve timed sterilization from 1 to 30 minutes to meet the needs of different cleaning levels. The UV germicidal lamp tube 15 is encapsulated with a waterproof insert plate 17. The waterproof insert plate 17 is a sealed structure and is fixed by ultrasonic welding process, so that its waterproof rating reaches IP67. The cleaning box body 1 is made of opaque ABS engineering plastic, which can effectively block UV leakage and protect the safety of operators. The splash-proof cover 2 and the waterproof insert plate 17 are made of transparent PC material, which makes it convenient for operators to observe the cleaning and sterilization process, and at the same time has good impact resistance and corrosion resistance. The cleaning brush 3 is evenly equipped with bristles 18, such as 80-120 bristles. The bristles 18 are made of medical-grade flexible material, such as rubber, food-grade silicone, or modified plastic. The diameter of the bristles 18 is 0.1-0.2mm and the length is 15-20mm. They have good elasticity and wear resistance. The diameter of the cleaning brush 3 is the same as the diameter of the cleaning base 4 to ensure that the brush can fully contact the inner wall of the straw when rotating, while avoiding damage to the straw caused by excessive squeezing. In summary, the gynecological surgical suction cleaning device provided by this invention allows for the following steps during use: First, open the splash-proof cover 2, align the used gynecological surgical suction tube with the plug 5 on the cleaning base 4, and then insert and fix it using the round sleeve 11. The elasticity and interference fit of the silicone material ensure a stable installation of the suction tube, guaranteeing that the suction tube axis is parallel to the axis of the cleaning brush 3. Select a suitable round sleeve 11 according to the suction tube specifications to ensure stability after installation.

[0028] The device is connected to the water pump via the threaded structure of the inlet 6, ensuring a leak-free interface; the outlet 14 is connected to the sewage collection pipe or container to form a complete water flow channel.

[0029] Next, the water pump is turned on, and the water flows into the transmission device 9 through the inlet 6, impacting the internal impeller to rotate at high speed, which in turn drives the cleaning brush 3 to rotate synchronously (the speed is adjusted according to the water pressure, and the speed is 350r / min under normal cleaning pressure); at the same time, the water flows through the guide port 10 on the plug 5 to spray onto the inner wall of the straw, on the one hand washing the dirt on the inner wall, and on the other hand driving the straw to rotate slowly, so that the brush can clean the inner and outer walls of the straw in all directions; during the cleaning process, the water flows into the cleaning chamber to form pre-stored water, which is slowly discharged through the drain port 13 on the limiting side plate 12, ensuring that the water flows in full contact with the straw and continuously removes dirt.

[0030] After cleaning, turn off the water supply and turn on the UV sterilization switch on the drive component 16. The two sets of LED UV sterilization lamps 15 will start and emit ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 254nm to sterilize the cleaned straw in all directions. Set the sterilization time to 10-20 minutes according to the cleaning needs. During the sterilization process, the operator can observe the internal status through the transparent splash-proof cover 2. The opaque cleaning box 1 effectively blocks ultraviolet leakage and ensures operational safety.

[0031] This invention effectively solves the problems of incomplete cleaning, low efficiency, easy damage to instruments, and infection risk of existing gynecological surgical suction tubes by combining mechanical rotation cleaning with ultraviolet sterilization. It has the advantages of reasonable structure, convenient operation, excellent cleaning effect, and safety and reliability. It can be widely used in the disinfection supply centers of medical institutions at all levels and has important clinical promotion value.
