Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of endoscope cleaning tools, in particular to an endoscope cleaning brush. Background Art

[0002] As we all know, endoscope is a detection instrument that integrates traditional optics, ergonomics, precision machinery, modern electronics, mathematics, software, etc. It has image sensors, optical lenses, light sources, mechanical devices, etc. It can enter the stomach through the mouth or enter the body through other natural channels. Endoscopes can be used to see lesions that cannot be displayed by X-rays, so it is very useful for doctors. In the structural design of the endoscope, a biopsy channel needs to be designed accordingly to transport surgical instruments for surgery. However, after the operation, there will be more or less residues in the biopsy channel, so it is necessary to clean the biopsy channel of the endoscope.

[0003] At present, the existing cleaning of the biopsy channel of the endoscope requires the use of an endoscope cleaning brush to brush the biopsy channel. The structure of the endoscope cleaning brush itself is basically a long strip-shaped main body, and then only a brush is set at the two ends, and the dirt in the endoscope is removed by the brush, but the existing cleaning brush has the following disadvantages: First, the brush is difficult to remove the stubborn block dirt on the inner wall of the endoscope; Second, there are gaps and easy deformation between the brushes, which will leave dead corners when cleaning the inner wall of the endoscope, and the dirt on the inner wall cannot be completely removed. Due to the above problems, the patient's blood, mucus, various secretions, etc. enter the inner cavity of the endoscope after use. If the cleaning is not thorough enough, it will cause great trouble to the subsequent disinfection treatment, and even cause the disinfection to fail. The bacteria in it will infect subsequent users, causing serious medical accidents. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an endoscope cleaning brush.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An endoscope cleaning brush comprises a rod body, with a first brush head and a second brush head respectively arranged at both ends of the rod body, the first brush head comprising a bracket formed by at least two metals intertwined with each other and a brush embedded in the bracket, and the second brush head comprising a soft rubber column connected to the rod body as a whole, and at least one group of soft rubber sheets is arranged on the soft rubber column.

[0007] Preferably, the soft plastic sheet comprises a first scraper blade and a second scraper blade, and the first scraper blade and the second scraper blade are both circular.

[0008] Preferably, the diameter of the first scraper blade is greater than the diameter of the second scraper blade.

[0009] Preferably, the length of the rod body is 2.2m-2.5m, the diameter of the rod body is 2.5mm, the diameter of the first scraper is 5.2mm, and the diameter of the brush is 5-7mm.

[0010] Preferably, the top ends of the soft rubber column and the bracket are both provided with spherical heads.

[0011] Due to the adoption of the above scheme, the utility model provides a soft rubber sheet at the other end of the rod body, so that the overall cleaning work does not rely solely on the brush. After the brush is cleaned, the inner wall of the biopsy channel can be scraped with the help of the soft rubber sheet, and the dirt or residue brushed by the brush can be scraped out of the biopsy channel, thereby solving the problem of incomplete cleaning by the brush and improving the overall cleaning ability.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0016] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0017] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. It can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection. It can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. It can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an endoscope cleaning brush provided in this embodiment includes a rod body 1, and a first brush head 2 and a second brush head 3 are respectively provided at both ends of the rod body 1. The first brush head 2 includes a bracket 21 formed by at least two metals intertwined with each other and a brush 22 embedded in the bracket. The second brush head 3 includes a soft rubber column 31 connected to the rod body 1 as a whole, and at least one group of soft rubber sheets 32 are provided on the soft rubber column 31.

[0019] In this embodiment, a soft film 32 is mainly arranged at the other end of the rod body 1, so that the overall cleaning work is no longer solely performed by the brush 22. After the brush 22 cleans, the inner wall of the biopsy channel can be scraped with the help of the soft film 32, and the dirt or residue brushed by the brush 22 can be scraped out of the biopsy channel, thereby solving the problem of incomplete cleaning of the brush 22 and improving the overall cleaning ability.

[0020] During specific use, the part with the first brush head 2 is first inserted into the biopsy channel, and then the residue inside the biopsy channel is brushed by the brush 22 on the bracket 21. The brush is inserted gradually and brushed back and forth while being inserted, so that the biopsy channel completes a preliminary cleaning effect. When the first brush head 2 protrudes from the other end of the biopsy channel, it continues to be pulled outward, and the second brush head 3 at the other end of the rod body 1 will enter the biopsy channel, and the soft plastic film 32 of the second brush head 3 will enter the biopsy channel and fit tightly against the inner wall of the biopsy channel. In this way, as the rod body 1 is pulled, the soft plastic film 32 will form a scraping on the inner wall of the biopsy channel, and both residues and scale can be scraped off, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0021] Furthermore, the soft film 32 of this embodiment includes a first scraper blade 301 and a second scraper blade 302, and the first scraper blade 301 and the second scraper blade 302 are both circular, and the diameter of the first scraper blade 301 is larger than the diameter of the second scraper blade 302, thus forming a large and a small scraper blade. By adopting this large and small design, a buffer cavity can be formed between different groups of soft films 32 or the first scraper blade 301 and the second scraper blade 302 during the scraping process to meet the deformation requirements of the first scraper blade 301, and the residue can also be scraped off again by relying on the second scraper blade 302 (because the diameter of the second scraper blade 302 is smaller, so the scraping force will be stronger than that of the first scraper blade), so as to ensure the cleaning effect.

[0022] Further, with regard to the length of each component of this example, the length of the rod body 1 of this embodiment is 2.2m-2.5m, the diameter of the rod body 1 is 2.5mm, the diameter d1 of the first scraper 301 is 5.2mm, and the diameter d2 of the brush 22 is 5-7mm.

[0023] Furthermore, in order to avoid scratching the inner wall of the biopsy channel, the top of the soft rubber column 31 and the bracket 21 are both provided with a spherical head 4, so that during the cleaning process of the biopsy channel, the smooth surface design of the spherical head 4 can avoid this from happening, and it can also be pushed more smoothly in the biopsy channel.

[0024] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
