Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of endoscopes, in particular to an adjustable endoscope cleaning bracket. Background Art
[0002] Endoscopes are devices that use the cavities in the human body to observe the internal state of the body. Since they are reusable medical devices, cleaning and disinfecting endoscopes are very important processing steps. The common way to clean endoscopes is to simply place the endoscope in a sink, immerse it in disinfectant, and then fully soak it and wash it.
[0003] However, due to the elasticity of the material of the endoscope, it may slightly protrude from the water after being placed in the sink. This situation is not easy to be discovered, resulting in the endoscope not being completely immersed in the disinfectant cleaning solution for disinfection and cleaning. First, the cleaning will be ineffective and need to be disinfected and cleaned again, resulting in a waste of manpower, material resources and time; second, there is a chance that the ineffective cleaning will not be discovered after the cleaning is completed, and eventually it will flow to the next user, bringing the risk of cross infection. Summary of the invention

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention will be more clearly and completely explained below by describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the adjustable endoscope cleaning support of the preferred embodiment of the utility model is arranged in a water tank 7. The water tank 7 may be an existing one in the operating room or may be arranged separately.
[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the adjustable endoscope cleaning bracket includes two main body fixing brackets 1, and connecting brackets 2 are respectively connected between the ends of the two main body fixing brackets 1 on the same side to form a rectangle on the horizontal plane.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the two ends of the main body fixing bracket 1 are respectively provided with a hexagonal displacement knob 12. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the main body fixing bracket 1 is hollow, the inner cavity of the main body fixing bracket 1 is provided with an internal thread, one end of the hexagonal displacement knob 12 is a threaded section and is threadedly connected in the inner cavity of the main body fixing bracket 1, and the other end of the hexagonal displacement knob 12 is provided with a rubber suction cup 13. When the adjustable endoscope cleaning bracket is set in the water tank 7, the hexagonal displacement knob 12 is first turned to adjust its extended length so that the rubber suction cup 13 can contact the inner wall of the water tank 7, and the rubber suction cup 13 absorbs the inner wall of the water tank 7, thereby achieving the purpose of relatively fixedly installing the adjustable endoscope cleaning bracket in the water tank 7. In addition, by adjusting the extended length of the hexagonal displacement knob 12, the adjustable endoscope cleaning bracket can adapt to more water tanks 7 of different sizes, reducing the restrictions on the size of the water tank 7, and facilitating the direct use of the existing water tank 7.
[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a liquid level sensor 22 is provided on the connecting bracket 2, and the liquid level sensor 22 is fixed to the outside of the connecting bracket 2 by a bolt assembly. The shell of the liquid level sensor 22 is transparent, and the liquid level sensor 22 is waterproof and glued. When the disinfectant in the water tank 7 submerges the liquid level sensor 22, an electrical signal can be sent. The liquid level sensor 22 can be used to directly set an alarm to remind the staff to stop adding disinfectant, or it can be used in conjunction with the main control module, automatic irrigation device, etc. to achieve automatic water stop. The above two settings both adopt the principle of the existing liquid level sensor 22 in the prior art, which can be implemented by those skilled in the art, and are not the problem to be solved and the focus of protection of this application, so they are not repeated.
[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first connecting rod 21 is provided at the bottom of the connecting bracket 2, and a second connecting rod 11 is provided at the bottom of the main body fixing bracket 1. A supporting plate 3 is provided below the main body fixing bracket 1 and the connecting bracket 2, and the supporting plate 3 is connected to the connecting bracket 2 through the first connecting rod 21, and the supporting plate 3 is connected to the main body fixing bracket 1 through the second connecting rod 11. The length of the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 11 is greater than the distance between the components of the endoscope when they are placed on the supporting plate 3 and the connecting bracket 2, so that when the disinfectant submerges the liquid level sensor 22, all components and pipes of the endoscope can be completely immersed in the disinfectant to avoid the situation of inadequate disinfection.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support plate 3 is provided with an operating part support assembly and a joint support assembly, the operating part support assembly includes an operating part support plate 41 and an operating part buckle 42, one end of the operating part support plate 41 is provided with an operating part support strip 411, and the other end of the operating part support plate 41 is provided with two operating part support blocks 412, and the cross section of the operating part buckle 42 is pentagonal to match the operating handle of the endoscope. The joint support assembly includes a joint support plate 3 and a joint buckle 52, the joint support plate 3 is provided with two joint support strips 511, and the cross section of the joint buckle 52 is semicircular to match the optical fiber plug of the endoscope.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support plate 3 is also provided with a plurality of pipe positioning buckles 6, which are distributed along the outer circumference of the support plate 3 and are used to buckle the pipe between the operating handle of the endoscope and the optical fiber plug to prevent it from detaching from the support plate 3 and floating to the surface during the immersion process.
[0027] The adjustable endoscope cleaning bracket of the utility model can fix the endoscope so that the endoscope is fully immersed in disinfectant, thereby reducing the occurrence of ineffective cleaning.
[0028] The above specific implementations are only descriptions of the preferred implementations of the utility model, and do not limit the protection scope of the utility model. Under the premise of not departing from the design concept and spirit of the utility model, various deformations, substitutions and improvements made by ordinary technicians in this field to the technical solution of the utility model based on the text description and drawings provided by the utility model should all fall within the protection scope of the utility model. The protection scope of the utility model is determined by the claims.
