Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a fully automated endoscope cleaning and disinfection robot. Background Technology
[0002] An endoscope, also known as a gastroscope, colonoscope, bronchoscope, or laparoscope, is an optical instrument that can enter the human body through natural or invasive cavities to perform diagnostic tests and collect data. During endoscopic procedures, blood, mucus, and tissue debris may remain inside the endoscopic tubing; therefore, medical staff must thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the tubing after each use of the endoscope.
[0003] In the prior art, various devices capable of automatically cleaning endoscopes have emerged. For example, Chinese Patent 202021905832.5 discloses a medical gastroenterology endoscope cleaning and disinfection device, which includes: a box body; a partition plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body, dividing the box body into an upper layer and a lower layer, the upper layer being a cleaning chamber and the lower layer being an equipment chamber; a placement basket rotatably disposed within the cleaning chamber; a cleaning component disposed within the equipment chamber, with its output end extending into the cleaning chamber; a waste liquid utilization component disposed within the equipment chamber, with its output end connected to the bottom of the cleaning chamber and extending into the cleaning chamber; and a drying and sterilization component connected to the inner wall of the cleaning chamber.
[0004] Chinese Patent 202211405676.X discloses an endoscope cleaning device and an endoscope cleaning apparatus. The endoscope cleaning device includes a housing, a brush for cleaning the endoscope, a winding mechanism, and a propulsion mechanism. The winding mechanism includes a movable support and a winding reel. The brush is wound around the winding reel. The movable support is mounted on the housing and can rotate in a first direction. The winding reel is mounted on the movable support and can rotate in a second direction. The propulsion mechanism includes a conveyor belt and a pressure wheel assembly. The pressure wheel assembly has a support frame, a pressure plate, and a pressure wheel. The pressure plate is mounted on the support frame. The pressure wheel is mounted on the pressure plate and can press against the conveyor belt. When the winding reel rotates around the second direction to receive and send the brush, the brush is pressed and conveyed by the conveyor belt and the pressure wheel. At the same time, the movable support rotates around the first direction to rotate the brush.
[0005] Chinese patent application 202410639954.0 discloses a cleaning device for flexible endoscope tubing and an endoscope cleaning and disinfection machine. The cleaning device includes a brush, a winding reel, and a rotating component. The brush is wound and housed on the winding reel, which is mounted on the rotating component and can rotate relative to it. The winding reel has a connecting component with a first position separated from the rotating component and a second position engaged with it. When the connecting component is in the first position and separated from the rotating component, the brush can be conveyed forward by a propulsion mechanism while simultaneously driving the winding reel to rotate adaptively in the forward direction, thus continuously releasing the brush. When the connecting component is in the second position and engaged with the rotating component, the winding reel can be directly driven by the rotating component to rotate in the reverse direction, causing the brush to be continuously wound up.
[0006] The main disadvantages of the above technology include: the cleaning basket is fixedly installed inside the cleaning and disinfection machine and is fixedly connected to the machine's pipelines (liquid pipes and air pipes), and cannot be removed separately; in addition, the cleaning and disinfection machine has a door on only one side, and uncleaned endoscopes can contaminate the cleaned endoscopes through the air.
[0007] Therefore, providing an endoscope cleaning and disinfection machine with a cleaning basket that can be flexibly disassembled and automatically connected to the machine body pipeline, and with doors on both sides, has become a problem that the industry needs to solve. Summary of the Invention
