Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for gastroenterology instruments. Background Technology

[0002] Digestive endoscopes and their accessories come into direct contact with the digestive tract mucosa, secretions, tissues that may carry pathogens (such as Helicobacter pylori and hepatitis viruses), and corrosive fluids such as bile and pancreatic juice during diagnosis and treatment. Postoperative cleaning and disinfection of these instruments face more severe challenges than with ordinary instruments. If residual organic matter, biofilms, or pathogens are not thoroughly removed, they can easily form biofilms in the complex endoscopic lumen and joints, potentially leading to serious cross-infections and affecting subsequent patient safety. They can also corrode delicate instrument components, shortening the instrument's lifespan. Therefore, specialized cleaning equipment for digestive endoscopy instruments (especially flexible endoscopes and precision accessories) must meet the requirements of high efficiency, thoroughness, and comprehensive cleaning. Ultrasonic cleaning technology, due to its cavitation effect, can penetrate deep into instrument gaps, lumens, and forceps channels, and has become a key step in cleaning digestive endoscopy instruments. In this process, instruments are typically placed in a dedicated cleaning basket and then immersed in an ultrasonic cleaning tank containing cleaning and disinfectant solutions for agitation cleaning.

[0003] However, in actual clinical applications and maintenance, existing ultrasonic cleaning equipment has significant defects in the fixing and retrieval mechanism of the cleaning basket, including the following problems: the fixing method of the cleaning basket is cumbersome and the maintenance efficiency is low; the instruments are inconvenient to retrieve and place, and there are occupational exposure and operational risks; the internal space management of the cleaning basket is rough, which affects the cleaning effect and subsequent treatment.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "upper end," "lower end," "left side," and "right side" mentioned below are defined based on the accompanying drawings in the instruction manual.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the gastroenterology instrument cleaning device includes a housing 1, a cleaning basket 2, a lifting mechanism 3, and a connecting mechanism 4. The housing 1 has an ultrasonic generator inside. The cleaning basket 2 is located inside the housing 1 and is used to hold instruments to be cleaned. The side wall of the cleaning basket 2 is provided with a locking groove 21. The lifting mechanism 3 is used to drive the cleaning basket 2 to rise or fall inside the housing 1. The connecting mechanism 4 includes a connecting block 41, a turntable 42, a turntable 42 stop assembly, and a locking assembly. The connecting block 41 is located on the top of the lifting mechanism 3. The turntable 42 is rotatably fitted inside the connecting block 41. The turntable 42 stop assembly is located between the turntable 42 and the connecting block 41 and is used to prevent the turntable 42 from rotating. The locking assembly is located inside the connecting block 41. The turntable 42 can control the locking assembly to lock and release the cleaning basket 2 by rotating.

[0035] Understandably, when it is necessary to remove the cleaning basket 2 from the housing 1, it is only necessary to unlock the stop component of the turntable 42, thereby rotating the turntable 42. The rotation of the turntable 42 causes the locking component to unlock the cleaning basket 2, which can quickly and conveniently remove the cleaning basket 2 from the housing 1. Moreover, no tools are needed during the disassembly process, and the cleaning basket 2 can be disassembled by hand.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in some embodiments, the turntable 42 stop assembly includes a fixed platform 431, a fixed ring 432, a movable block 433, a first elastic element 434, and a locking block 435. The fixed platform 431 is disposed on the turntable 42, the fixed ring 432 is fixedly disposed on the connecting block 41, the inner sidewall of the fixed ring 432 is provided with a locking groove 4321, the fixed platform 431 is provided with a first sliding groove, the movable block 433 is slidably engaged with the first sliding groove, and can move up and down relative to the fixed platform 431. The sidewall of the movable block 433 is a sloping structure extending outward from the bottom end, the sidewall of the fixed platform 431 is provided with a through hole, the locking block 435 is slidably engaged with the through hole, and is connected to the fixed platform 431 through the first elastic element 434. The locking block 435 is provided with a first connecting rod 436, the first connecting rod 436 abuts against the sidewall of the fixed platform 431, and the locking block 435 can extend out of the through hole and into the locking groove 4321 of the fixed ring 432.

[0037] Specifically, the first sliding groove extends in the vertical direction and has an opening at the top of the fixed platform 431. The top of the movable block 433 extends upward through the opening of the first sliding groove and extends out of the fixed platform 431, thereby forming a handle structure above the fixed platform 431.

[0038] Understandably, when the turntable 42 is in the locked state, the snap-fit ​​block 435 extends into the snap-fit ​​groove 4321 of the fixed ring 432, thereby restricting the rotation of the fixed platform 431 and the turntable 42. At this time, the first elastic element 434 is in a stretched state and applies a pulling force to the snap-fit ​​block 435 and the first connecting rod 436. The pulling force can keep the first connecting rod 436 always in contact with the inclined surface of the movable block 433. When the turntable 42 needs to rotate, simply press down on the movable block 433. The movable block 433 moves downward in the first sliding groove, increasing the distance between the movable block 433 and the locking block 435. The first elastic element 434 contracts. Driven by the contraction force of the first elastic element 434, the locking block 435 and the first connecting rod 436 move in the through hole of the fixed cylinder and approach the movable block 433, thereby causing the locking block 435 to retract into the fixed platform 431 and releasing the rotation limit on the fixed platform 431. At this time, the fixed platform 431 and the turntable 42 can be rotated by rotating the handle of the movable block 433.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, based on the above embodiment, the locking assembly includes a slide rod 441, a movable plate 442, a pull rope 443, a locking block 444, and a second elastic member 445. The connecting block 41 is provided with a second sliding groove, and the movable plate 442 is slidably fitted in the second sliding groove. The turntable 42 is provided with an inclined groove 421. The bottom end of the slide rod 441 is connected to the movable plate 442, and the slide rod 441 is slidably fitted in the inclined groove 421. The side wall of the connecting block 41 is provided with an mounting block 446, and both ends of the mounting block 446 are provided with locking holes. The locking block 444 is slidably fitted in the locking holes. The locking block 444 is connected to the mounting block 446 through the second elastic member 445. The locking block 444 is connected to the movable plate 442 through the pull rope 443. The locking block 444 can extend into the locking groove 21 of the cleaning basket 2.

[0040] Specifically, the second sliding groove extends radially along the turntable 42, and the slide rod 441 slides within the second sliding groove and slides radially along the turntable 42 within the second sliding groove. When the turntable 42 rotates, the turntable 42 pushes the slide rod 441 to move within the inclined groove 421, and the slide rod 441 drives the moving plate 442 to slide radially along the turntable 42 within the second sliding groove.

[0041] Understandably, when the turntable 42 rotates clockwise, the turntable 42 pushes the slide rod 441 to move along the inclined groove 421, and the slide rod 441 gradually approaches the center of the turntable 42. The slide rod 441 drives the moving plate 442 to move radially inward along the turntable 42. The moving plate pulls the locking block 444 through the pull rope 443. The pull rope 443 overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic element 445 and compresses the second elastic element 445. The locking block 444 is put into the locking hole of the mounting block 446 and disengages from the locking groove 21 of the cleaning basket 2, thereby releasing the fixation of the cleaning basket 2. When installing the cleaning basket 2, align the cleaning basket 2 with the mounting block 446, and then twist the movable block 433 in the opposite direction, thereby causing the fixed platform 431 and the turntable 42 to rotate counterclockwise. The turntable 42 pushes the slide rod 441 to move along the inclined groove 421, and gradually moves the slide rod 441 away from the center of the turntable 42. The slide rod 441 drives the moving plate 442 to move outward along the radial direction of the turntable 42, thereby loosening the pull rope 443. The second elastic element 445 extends, and the tension of the second elastic element 445 pushes the locking block 444 out of the locking hole of the mounting block 446 and into the locking groove 21 of the cleaning basket 2 to achieve locking of the cleaning basket.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a fixed rod 31, a sleeve rod 32, a sliding plate 33, and a third elastic element 34. The bottom end of the fixed rod 31 is connected to the housing 1. The fixed rod 31 extends at least partially into the sleeve rod 32 and slides in cooperation with the sleeve rod 32. The sliding plate 33 slides in cooperation with the sleeve rod 32 and abuts against the top end of the fixed rod 31. The sliding plate 33 is connected to the sleeve rod 32 through the third elastic element 34.

[0043] Specifically, the sleeve rod 32 is a cylindrical structure with an opening at its bottom end. The top end of the sleeve rod 32 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 41. The fixing rod 31 is a cylindrical structure with its top end extending into the sleeve rod 32 and slidingly engaging with the sleeve rod 32. The sleeve rod 32 can move up and down and rotate relative to the fixing rod 31 along the axial direction of the sleeve rod 32. The bottom end of the sleeve rod 32 has an inwardly extending inner edge, which forms a first limiting ring. The top end of the fixing rod 31 has an outwardly extending outer edge, which forms a second limiting ring. The first limiting ring and the second limiting ring can abut against each other, thereby limiting the sleeve rod 32 and preventing the sleeve rod 32 from detaching from the fixing rod 31. The third elastic element 34 can be a compression spring.

[0044] Based on the above embodiments, the lifting mechanism 3 is also provided with a limiting component, which includes a wedge block 351 and a fourth elastic element 352. The fixing rod 31 is provided with a limiting hole. The two wedge blocks 351 are respectively slidably fitted at both ends of the limiting hole, and the two wedge blocks 351 are connected by the fourth elastic element 352. The inner side wall of the sleeve rod 32 is provided with two opposing limiting grooves 321, and the two wedge blocks 351 can extend into the two limiting grooves 321.

[0045] Specifically, the limiting hole passes through the center of the fixing rod 31 and penetrates the fixing rod 31. Two wedge blocks 351 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the limiting hole. The wedge blocks 351 have arc-shaped ends, and the arc-shaped ends of the wedge blocks 351 are located at the top of the wedge blocks 351. The fourth elastic element 352 can be a compression spring. The two ends of the fourth elastic element 352 are fixedly connected to the two wedge blocks 351 respectively.

[0046] Understandably, in the installed state, the sleeve 32 is located at the uppermost end of its range of motion. At this time, the third elastic element 34 is in a state of force balance, the two wedge blocks 351 abut against the inner wall of the sleeve 32, and the fourth elastic element 352 is in a compressed state. After the cleaning basket 2 is fixed to the connecting block 41 by the connecting mechanism 4, the operator applies downward pressure to the connecting block 41. The connecting block 41 drives the sleeve rod 32 to move downward relative to the fixed rod 31 against the elastic force of the third elastic element 34. The third elastic element 34 is compressed. When the wedge block 351 is flush with the limiting groove 321, the fourth elastic element 352 releases its elastic force, thereby pushing the wedge block 351 into the limiting groove 321. At this time, the elastic force of the third elastic element 34 exerts pressure on the wedge block 351 support, thereby causing the bottom of the plane of the wedge block 351 to abut against the bottom of the limiting groove 321, thus fixing the sleeve rod 32. At this time, the cleaning basket is located inside the housing 1. After water is injected into the housing 1, the liquid level can cover the cleaning basket 2, thereby enabling ultrasonic cleaning. When the cleaning basket 2 needs to be removed, press down the connecting block 41. The top of the limiting groove 321 passes through the arc end of the wedge block 351 and pushes the wedge block 351 into the fixing rod 31. The sleeve rod 32 moves downward against the elastic force of the third elastic element 34. The third elastic element 34 further contracts. Then rotate the connecting block 41 to drive the sleeve rod 32 to rotate and make the wedge block 351 and the limiting groove 321 misaligned. The rebound force of the third elastic element 34 can drive the sleeve rod 32 to move upward until the cleaning basket 2 is exposed above the water surface.

[0047] In some embodiments, there are multiple cleaning baskets 2, which are distributed at circumferential intervals along the connecting block 41.

[0048] Specifically, the connecting block 41 can be a polygonal structure, with a cleaning basket 2 fixed to each side wall via a connecting mechanism 4. In this embodiment, the connecting block 41 is a quadrilateral structure, with four cleaning baskets 2 fixed to the four side walls of the connecting block 41 via corresponding connecting mechanisms 4.

[0049] It is understandable that setting up multiple cleaning baskets 2 can effectively utilize the internal space of the housing 1, thereby increasing the number of instruments to be cleaned, cleaning more instruments in the same amount of time, and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning basket 2 is provided with a dividing mechanism 5, which is used to divide the internal space of the cleaning basket 2.

[0051] Understandably, the partition mechanism 5 can effectively divide the internal space of the cleaning basket 2, and instruments of different types or sizes can be placed in the partitioned space of the cleaning basket so that operators can quickly classify them after cleaning.

[0052] Based on the above embodiments, the separation mechanism 5 includes partitions 51 and fixing components. There are multiple partitions 51, which are distributed in parallel and spaced apart in the cleaning basket 2. Each partition 51 is provided with a fixing component, which is used to fix the partition 51 to the cleaning basket 2.

[0053] Specifically, the divider 51 is a rectangular plate, which can be fixed in the cleaning basket 2 by a fixing component. By setting multiple dividers 51 in the cleaning basket 2, the cleaning basket 2 can be divided into multiple spaces, and different types of instruments can be placed in different spaces to avoid mixing different instruments together after cleaning.

[0054] Based on the above embodiments, the fixing assembly includes a inclined block 521, a second connecting rod 522, an insert block 523, and a fifth elastic member 524. The partition 51 is provided with a third sliding groove, and the inclined block 521 is slidably fitted in the third sliding groove. The top of the inclined block 521 extends upward and protrudes from the partition 51. The side wall of the partition 51 is provided with a slot, and the insert block 523 is slidably fitted in the slot and connected to the partition 51 through the fifth elastic member 524. One end of the second connecting rod 522 is connected to the insert block 523, and the other end abuts against the inclined surface of the inclined block 521. The side wall of the cleaning basket 2 is provided with a plurality of spaced fixing grooves 22, and the insert block 523 can extend into the fixing groove 22.

[0055] Understandably, the fifth elastic element 524 can be a spring. Normally, the inclined block 521 is located at its uppermost end within the movement range of the third sliding groove. At this time, the inclined block 521 abuts against the second connecting rod 522, pushing the insert 523 out of the partition 51. The fifth elastic element 524 is stretched, and the insert 523 is located within the fixing groove 22, thus fixing the partition 51 within the cleaning basket 2. When the partition 51 needs to be removed, the inclined block 521 is pressed down, causing it to move downwards. The fifth elastic element 524 contracts, and the contraction force pushes the insert 523 and the second connecting rod 522 inwards, causing the second connecting rod 522 to move along the inclined surface of the inclined block 521 until the insert 523 is completely disengaged from the fixing groove 22. At this point, the partition 51 can be removed from the cleaning basket 2. By cooperating the fixing components in the partition 51 with the fixing grooves 22 at different positions, the size of the different spaces divided in the cleaning basket 2 can be adjusted, making it suitable for holding instruments of different sizes.

[0056] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a cover plate 6 is detachably provided on the top of the housing 1.

[0057] Understandably, the cover plate 6 can seal the housing 1, prevent the instrument from being contaminated during the cleaning process, and also prevent the cleaning solution inside the housing 1 from spilling out of the housing 1 during the cleaning process.

[0058] In summary, the gastroenterology instrument cleaning device of this application, through the connection mechanism 4, allows for convenient and quick installation and disassembly of the cleaning basket, facilitating cleaning or maintenance of its interior by operators; through the lifting mechanism 3, the cleaning basket is automatically lifted upwards by the elastic force of the third elastic element 34 after cleaning, making it easy for operators to retrieve the cleaned instruments without having to reach into the housing 1 or use other tools; through the partition mechanism 5, the partition 51 can divide the internal space of the cleaning basket, allowing operators to classify and place different types or sizes of surgical instruments, which also facilitates the retrieval and classification of instruments after cleaning.

[0059] It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity from several other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities.

Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the solution and core ideas of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to this application without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this application.
