[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a disposable protective sleeve for a gastroscope, including a protective sleeve body 100, an air supply line 200, and an exhaust line 300. The protective sleeve body 100 is fitted onto the gastroscope 10. The air supply line 200 and the exhaust line 300 are both disposed on the outer wall of the protective sleeve body 100. The air supply line 200 is connected to the air supply component 20 via a three-way control valve 400, and a bypass control valve 500 for connecting to the liquid supply component is provided on the air supply line 200. The exhaust line 300 is connected to the negative pressure component 30 via the three-way control valve 400.

[0026] Specifically, when using the gastroscope 10, medical personnel place the protective sleeve 100 over the gastroscope 10 and install the three-way control valves 400 on both the air supply line 200 and the exhaust line 300 inside the piston seat 11 of the gastroscope 10. This allows medical personnel to easily control the three-way control valves 400 on the air supply line 200 and the exhaust line 300 when holding the gastroscope 10. The air supply line 200 is equipped with a bypass control valve 500 for connecting to the fluid supply device. Through this setup, the gastroscope 10 can perform the inflation, deflation, flushing, and aspiration operations required for the examination. Furthermore, the protective sleeve 100 can completely protect the gastroscope 10, preventing it from coming into contact with the human body. Therefore, it is not necessary to disinfect the gastroscope 10 after the examination.

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the bottom of the three-way control valve 400 is provided with a mounting base, which can be installed in the piston seat 11 of the endoscope 10.

[0028] Specifically, a mounting base is provided at the bottom of the three-way control valve 400. The mounting base can be inserted into the piston seat 11 on the endoscope 10 body, thereby facilitating operation by medical personnel.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the three-way control valve 400 includes a valve body 410, a valve core 420, and a reset spring member 430. The valve core 420 is inserted into the valve body 410, and the reset spring member 430 is disposed between the valve body 410 and the valve core 420, so that the valve core 420 has a tendency to pop out of the valve body 410. The valve body 410 is provided with a first vent hole 411 and a second vent hole 412, and the valve core 420 is provided with a third vent hole 421 and a fourth vent hole 422. The axes of the first vent hole 411, the second vent hole 412, and the third vent hole 421 are parallel, and the axis of the fourth vent hole 422 is perpendicular to the axis of the third vent hole 421. The fourth vent hole 422 penetrates the valve core 420 along its axial direction. The outer wall of the valve core 420 is provided with multiple sealing rings.

[0030] The sealing rings include a first sealing ring 423, a second sealing ring 424, and a third sealing ring 425 arranged from top to bottom. After the valve core 420 descends, the first vent 411 and the second vent 412 are connected through the third vent 421. The first vent 411, the second vent 412, and the third vent 421 are all located between the first sealing ring 423 and the second sealing ring 424. After the valve core 420 returns to its original position and rises, the first vent 411 and the second vent 412 are separated. The first vent 411 and the third vent 421 are located between the first sealing ring 423 and the second sealing ring 424, and the second vent 412 is located between the second sealing ring 424 and the third sealing ring 425.

[0031] Specifically, after the endoscope 10 is turned on, the air supply component 20 and the negative pressure component 30 are activated. Both the air supply component 20 and the negative pressure component 30 are connected to the first vent 411 of the corresponding three-way control valve 400. At this time, the valve core 420 in the three-way control valve 400 is in a high position under the action of the reset spring component 430. At this time, the first vent 411 and the second vent 412 are separated, and the first vent 411 and the third vent 421 are located at the first sealing ring 423 and the second sealing ring 422. Between the sealing rings 424, the second vent 412 is located between the second sealing ring 424 and the third sealing ring 425. The first vent 411 is connected to the fourth vent 422 through the third vent 421. At this time, the gas blown out by the air delivery component 20 is discharged from the fourth vent 422 and will not enter the patient's body along the air delivery pipeline 200. Alternatively, at this time, the negative pressure component 30 draws outside air into the negative pressure component 30 through the fourth vent 422 and will not draw gas from the patient's body.

[0032] Additionally, when the user presses the three-way control valve 400, the valve core 420 moves into the valve body 410. At this time, the first vent 411 and the second vent 412 are connected through the third vent 421. The first vent 411, the second vent 412, and the third vent 421 are all located between the first sealing ring 423 and the second sealing ring 424. The third sealing ring 425 is located below the second sealing ring 424. At this time, the gas blown out by the air delivery component 20 flows from the third vent 421 to the second vent 412, and then flows from the second vent 412 into the air delivery pipeline 200, and then enters the patient's body through the air delivery pipeline 200. During this process, the medical staff continuously presses the corresponding three-way control valve 400. Alternatively, at this time, the negative pressure component 30 draws the gas out of the patient's body through the first vent 411, the third vent 421, and the fourth vent 422.

[0033] In addition, when it is necessary to inject liquid into the patient's body during the examination, the water injection device is connected to the air supply line 200 through the bypass control valve 500. Then, the user presses the three-way control valve 400 corresponding to the air supply line 200, at which time the liquid can enter the patient's body along with the gas.

[0034] The air supply component 20 can be a blower, and the negative pressure component 30 can be an exhaust fan. Furthermore, those skilled in the art can choose the type of air supply component 20 and negative pressure component 30 according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in an optional embodiment, a transparent cover plate 110 is provided at the front end of the protective cover body 100.

[0036] Specifically, a transparent cover plate 110 is provided at the front end of the protective cover body 100. The transparent cover plate 110 ensures that the camera at the front end of the endoscope 10 can clearly observe the scene in front.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the front end of the air supply pipeline 200 is provided with a spray head 120 for blowing the transparent cover plate 110.

[0038] Specifically, a spray head 120 is provided at the front end of the air supply line 200. The liquid sprayed from the spray head 120 can rinse the transparent cover plate 110 to ensure a clear view of the endoscope 10.

[0039] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the disposable gastroscope protective sleeve also includes a storage component 600 for storing the protective sleeve body 100.

[0040] Specifically, it also includes a storage component 600, on which the protective sleeve body 100 is fitted. The storage component 600 not only protects the protective sleeve body 100, but also makes it easier for medical personnel to fit the protective sleeve body 100 onto the gastroscope 10.

[0041] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in the optional embodiment, the storage component 600 includes a sleeve shell 610, a sleeve spring 620, and a connecting ring 630; the outer ring of the connecting ring 630 is connected to one end of the sleeve shell 610, the inner ring of the connecting ring 630 is connected to one end of the sleeve spring 620, and the protective sleeve body 100 is sleeved on the outside of the sleeve spring 620; the inner diameter of the sleeve spring 620 is not less than the outer diameter of the gastroscope 10.

[0042] Specifically, a connecting ring 630 is provided at one end of the sleeve housing 610, and a sleeve spring 620 is provided on the connecting ring 630. The sleeve spring 620 is parallel to the inner wall of the sleeve housing 610, and the protective sleeve body 100 is fitted onto the sleeve spring 620. In use, the medical staff inserts the end of the sleeve housing 610 with the connecting ring 630 onto the gastroscope 10, and then makes the transparent cover plate 110 of the protective sleeve body 100 abut against the front end of the gastroscope 10. Then, the medical staff drags the sleeve housing 610 towards the handle of the gastroscope 10, so that the protective sleeve body 100 located between the sleeve housing 610 and the sleeve spring 620 is fitted onto the gastroscope 10.

[0043] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in the optional embodiment, the sleeve housing 610 includes a first housing 611 and a second housing 612. One end of the first housing 611 and the second housing 612 are pivotally connected, and the other end is snapped together. One end of both the first housing 611 and the second housing 612 is provided with a connecting half-ring, and the two connecting half-rings are connected to form a connecting ring 630.

[0044] Specifically, the sleeve outer shell 610 includes a first outer shell 611 and a second outer shell 612. One end of the first outer shell 611 and the second outer shell 612 are pivotally connected, and the other end is snapped together. With this arrangement, the sleeve outer shell 610 can be opened. After the protective sleeve body 100 is placed on the gastroscope 10 using the sleeve outer shell 610, medical personnel can open the sleeve outer shell 610 and then remove the sleeve outer shell 610 from the gastroscope 10.

[0045] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, sealing protective covers 640 are detachably installed at both ends of the sleeve housing 610.

[0046] Specifically, sealing protective covers 640 are provided at both ends of the sleeve outer shell 610. The sealing protective covers 640 are sealed to the sleeve outer shell 610, thereby sealing and protecting the protective sleeve body 100 inside the sleeve outer shell 610 to prevent contamination. When in use, medical personnel can simply remove the sealing protective covers 640.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
