Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an endoscope cleanliness testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Medical endoscopes are inserted into the organ to be examined during use, allowing direct visualization of changes in the relevant area. However, due to their high cost, endoscopes are not suitable for single use; therefore, most endoscopes are reused through repeated cleaning and disinfection. But because endoscopes are long and narrow tubes, and surgical instruments often leave tissue residue, incomplete cleaning of the endoscope's internal tubing can lead to infection for subsequent users.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent CN 108693191 A discloses a device for testing endoscopes to detect the cleanliness of the endoscope's tubing. However, the drawback of this device is that it can only be used to observe in real time whether the endoscope's tubing is clean, and it cannot generate a test report for subsequent traceability. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to design a new device for detecting the cleanliness of endoscope tubing. This device can detect cleaned endoscope tubing and generate a test report, which can be used for traceability in case of subsequent problems.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an endoscope cleanliness detection device, comprising an imaging module, a signal transmission module, a control module, and a display module.
[0006] The signal transmission module includes a first signal transmission module and a second signal transmission module. The input terminal of the first signal transmission module is electrically connected to the output terminal of the imaging module, and the output terminal of the second signal transmission module is electrically connected to the display module.
[0007] The control module includes a housing and a controller. The controller is fixed inside the housing. The input terminal of the controller is electrically connected to the output terminal of the first signal transmission module, and the output terminal of the controller is electrically connected to the input terminal of the second signal transmission module.
[0008] The display module is electrically connected to the output of the second signal transmission module. The display module includes a display screen and a control unit. The control unit includes a signal receiving unit, a signal processing unit, and a file transmission unit. The signal processing unit processes the received signal and generates a detection report. The file transmission unit uploads the detection report to an external system.
[0009] Furthermore, two slots are arranged opposite each other inside the housing, and the two sides of the controller are respectively fixed in one set of slots.
[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the controller is fixed to the support plate, and the two sides of the support plate are respectively fixed in another set of slots.
[0011] Furthermore, the end of the second signal transmission module is provided with a USB interface or a Type-C interface for connecting to the display screen.
[0012] Furthermore, a knob is provided between the USB interface and the housing, and the knob is used to adjust the brightness of the imaging module.
[0013] Furthermore, the signal transmission module is composed of a flexible tube with a diameter of less than 1 mm.
[0014] Furthermore, the imaging module includes an image sensor and an illumination lamp.
[0015] Furthermore, the diameter of the image sensor is less than 2 mm.
[0016] Beneficial effects: By setting a control unit in the display module, this application can not only receive signals from the controller and convert them into image data displayed on the screen, but also control the image through matching software to perform operations such as zooming in and out, taking pictures, and recording videos. It can also generate PDF / JPG format reports and upload the reports to the hospital system, thereby achieving traceability of test results.
[0017] Meanwhile, a knob is set on the signal transmission module to control the brightness of the imaging module, which is more convenient, faster, and more user-friendly than mechanical program control. It is easy to operate and responds quickly.
[0018] The signal transmission module has a diameter of less than 1 mm, and the imaging module has a diameter of less than 2 mm, making it easier for them to be inserted into the endoscope tube and to rotate and move freely inside, thereby achieving full coverage of the inside of the endoscope tube.
[0019] In summary, the endoscope cleanliness testing device of this application can more clearly detect whether the inside of the endoscope channel is clean, generate a report of the test results, save it for comparative analysis, and facilitate the traceability of subsequent issues.

[0023] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the imaging module of this utility model.
[0024] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the signal transmission module of this utility model.
[0025] The components are: 1-imaging module, 2-first signal transmission module, 3-second signal transmission module, 4-housing, 5-card slot, 6-support plate, 7-knob, 8-USB interface, 11-lighting lamp, 12-image sensor, and 13-steel ring. Detailed Implementation
[0026] To enhance understanding of this utility model, it will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0027] like Figure 1-3 The diagram shows the specific structure of the endoscope cleanliness testing equipment.
[0028] Specifically, the device includes an imaging module 1 that extends into the endoscope tube, a first signal transmission module 2 for connecting the imaging module 1 to the controller, and a second signal transmission module 3 for connecting the controller to the display module.
[0029] The controller is installed in the housing 4. Two sets of slots 5 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the housing 4 to secure the controller to the support plate 6. The support plate 6 is fixed to the bottom of the controller and connected to the lower slot 5, while the controller is connected to the upper slot 5.
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the imaging module 1 consists of an image sensor 12 located at the center, an illumination lamp 11 located around the image sensor 12, and a protective steel ring 13 located outside the illumination lamp 11. This is prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, both the first signal transmission module 2 and the second signal transmission module 3 consist of six data transmission lines wrapped in flexible tubing. Data transmission via wires is more stable than wireless transmission and enhances the overall strength of the signal transmission module, making it less prone to breakage.
[0032] It is particularly important to note that the diameter of the imaging module 1 needs to be less than 2mm, and the diameter of the signal transmission module needs to be less than 1mm, so as to facilitate its rotation and movement back and forth inside the endoscope tube, allowing the image captured to cover the entire tube.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the display module includes a display screen and a control unit. The control unit includes a signal receiving unit to receive electrical signals transmitted from the controller in housing 4; it also includes a signal processing unit to convert the electrical signals into graphic signals and display them on the display screen. The display screen has corresponding software that allows the control unit to zoom in and out of the graphics in real time, and to perform operations such as taking photos and videos of specific locations on the pipeline. Existing technologies only allow viewing of already generated graphics by zooming in or out. Simultaneously, the signal processing unit in the control unit can also generate PDF or JPG report files, which are then transmitted to an external system, such as the hospital's internal system, via a file transfer unit.
[0034] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the end of the second signal transmission module 3 is a USB interface, which can be connected to a computer for corresponding operations; or it can be a Type-C interface for connecting to a mobile phone for corresponding operations.
[0035] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a knob 7 is provided between the second signal transmission module 3 and the housing 4. The knob 7 is connected to the controller and can be manually rotated to control the brightness of the lighting lamp 11, making the operation simpler and more user-friendly.
[0036] In use, the imaging module extends into the endoscope's tubing to take pictures. By manually rotating and moving the first signal transmission module back and forth, the imaging module can capture the entire view inside the endoscope's tubing. The captured image is transmitted to the display screen via the controller. Through the software interface on the display screen, the image can be processed accordingly, a suitable angle can be selected to generate a test report, and this report is transmitted to the hospital's internal system for easy tracing in case of subsequent problems.
[0037] The embodiments disclosed herein are preferred embodiments, but are not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations. However, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, they are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
