Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of endoscopes, in particular to a suction valve component and an endoscope. Background Art

[0002] The suction valve is an important component of the endoscope. When medical personnel use the endoscope to observe the lesion, it controls the suction of fluid in the human body to prevent the fluid from interfering with the inspection and treatment process. One end of the suction valve is connected to the pipeline extending into the human body, and the other end is connected to the negative pressure pipeline. The suction valve is opened and closed to complete the opening and closing of the suction valve. For example, the "suction valve and endoscope" disclosed in the Chinese patent document, with the publication number CN117297505A, includes a valve body, a valve core, an elastic member and a valve stem. The valve core is movably arranged in the valve body, and the elastic member is connected to the valve body and the valve core, so that when the valve stem is pressed to switch from the closed position to the suction position, the valve core moves with the valve stem under the elastic force of the elastic member. A conducting hole is arranged on the body of the valve stem, and the negative pressure channel is arranged on the side of the valve body. The sample channel connected to the pipeline extending into the human body is arranged on the lower side of the valve body. When conducting, the fluid is guided to communicate through the conducting hole. The disadvantage is that due to the setting of the through hole and the inlet and outlet are not directly opposite, there are various obstacles and corners in the flow path of the fluid, which reduces the efficiency of fluid suction and easily causes impact damage to components such as the valve stem.

[0003] The utility model aims to solve the problems of low suction efficiency and easy damage of the suction valve of the existing endoscope, and provides a suction valve component and an endoscope.

[0004] The technical solution provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0005] A suction valve assembly, comprising at least:

[0006] A valve body, wherein an axially extending valve core channel and an inlet and outlet liquid channel vertically connected to the valve core channel are provided in the valve body, and a first sealing cone surface and a second sealing cone surface are provided at the intersection of the valve core channel and the inlet and outlet liquid channel;

[0008] The opening and closing assembly comprises a pressing part fixedly connected to the valve core and elastic parts at two ends respectively supporting the pressing part and the valve body.

[0009] When the suction valve assembly is closed, that is, in a flow-cutting state, the conical sealing section is in close contact with the first sealing conical surface and the second sealing conical surface to seal, thereby isolating the inlet and outlet liquid channels.

[0010] When the suction valve assembly is fully opened, it is in a conducting state. At this time, there is no other obstruction in the inlet and outlet liquid channels except for the partial obstruction of the valve core, and the flow channel has no corners, so that the fluid flow efficiency is higher.

[0012] When the valve core is pressed to the bottom, the leak-proof section and the leak-proof sealing surface are sealed together to prevent liquid from leaking out to the opening and closing components, thereby facilitating sealing.

[0013] A transition section is provided between the leak-proof section and the conical sealing section. One end of the transition section connected to the leak-proof section is enlarged to form an enlarged portion, and the enlarged portion is tightly matched with the valve core channel.

[0014] When the pressing part is pressed to open the suction valve assembly, the expanded part can form high pressure in the valve core channel, blocking the space for liquid to enter the pressing part, thereby preventing the liquid from entering the pressing part and leaking.

[0015] Preferably, the cross section of the transition section is a streamlined structure, so that the liquid flow resistance in the liquid inlet and outlet channels is smaller.

[0016] Preferably, the elastic member is a conical spring, the bottom of which is arranged outside the sealing section, so that a larger sealing section can be accommodated in the spring, reducing the volume of the pressing part, and gradually increasing the pressing resistance during the pressing process, providing feedback to the user on the pressing stroke.

[0017] Preferably, the pressing portion is provided with a stopper protruding toward the side of the valve core, and the valve body is provided with a sliding groove for accommodating axial sliding of the stopper.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] Embodiment 1, a suction valve assembly, the axial direction of the valve core 4 is vertical, and the end of the valve core 4 with the conical sealing section 41 is the lower end or bottom end, such as Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, including at least:

[0032] A valve body 1, wherein an axially extending valve core channel 2 and an inlet and outlet liquid channel 3 vertically connected to the valve core channel 2 are provided in the valve body 1, wherein a first sealing cone surface 11 and a second sealing cone surface 12 are provided at the intersection of the valve core channel 2 and the inlet and outlet liquid channel 3, wherein the first sealing surface 11 is located at the upper portion of the inlet and outlet liquid channel 3, and the second sealing cone surface 12 is located at the lower portion of the inlet and outlet liquid channel 3, wherein a leakproof sealing surface 22 is extended into the valve core channel 2 by the valve body 1, and the leakproof sealing surface 22 is located above the inlet and outlet liquid channel 3 to form a step shape, i.e., the valve core channel 2 is partially contracted between the inlet and outlet liquid channel 3 and the leakproof sealing surface 22;
