[0025] The following further describes the present utility model in conjunction with embodiments.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present utility model provides an endoscope cleaning and drying device, which includes a processing box 4. A door panel 5 is hinged on the open end of the processing box 4. A plurality of symmetrically distributed leg rods 6 are fixed on the outer side wall of the bottom end of the processing box 4. A placement box 7 is arranged inside the processing box 4. A plurality of equally spaced second through openings 9 are formed on the bottom side surface of the placement box 7. A covering component 2 is arranged inside the port of the placement box 7. A rotating component 3 is arranged at one end of the placement box 7. A washing and blowing component 1 is arranged at the top end of the processing box 4. When in use, the disassembled parts of the endoscope are placed into the placement box 7 through the open end of the placement box 7, and the open end of the placement box 7 is closed by the covering component 2. The washing water is evenly and finely sprayed onto the endoscope parts inside the placement box 7 through the washing and blowing component 1 to clean the endoscope parts. The placement box 7 is driven to slowly rotate and flip by the rotating component 3, and the covering component 2 blocks the endoscope parts inside the placement box 7, so that the endoscope parts inside the placement box 7 continuously rotate and contact the sprayed washing water, enabling all positions of the endoscope parts to contact the washing water, thereby performing comprehensive flushing, effectively improving the comprehensiveness of the endoscope part cleaning, and improving the cleaning effect. When the cleaning is completed, the introduction of the cleaning water inside the washing and blowing component 1 is stopped, and hot air is switched to be introduced into the washing and blowing component 1. The hot air is evenly and finely blown onto the rotating endoscope parts inside the placement box 7 through the washing and blowing component 1, so that the endoscope parts are quickly dried. The cleaning and drying are integrated, thus saving the operation of transferring and processing step by step, and effectively improving the overall processing efficiency.

[0027] Furthermore, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, it is worth specifically explaining that the washing and blowing assembly 1 includes a top head seat 101 embedded in the top side wall of the processing box 4. A cavity 102 is formed in the top head seat 101. Spray holes 103 communicating with the cavity 102 are formed in the bottom side surface of the top head seat 101. There are multiple spray holes 103, and the multiple spray holes 103 are equidistantly distributed. An infusion pipe 104 and an air supply pipe 105 communicating with the cavity 102 are fixed on the top side wall of the top head seat 101. During specific operation, the infusion pipe 104 and the air supply pipe 105 are externally connected to a water pump and a hot air blower respectively. Cleaning water with a certain water pressure is introduced into the cavity 102 through the infusion pipe 104, and then evenly and finely sprayed onto the endoscope parts inside the placement box 7 through the multiple spray holes 103 to clean the endoscope parts. After the cleaning is completed, the water pump is turned off to stop the introduction of the cleaning water inside the infusion pipe 104, and the hot air blower is started. The hot air is conveyed into the cavity 102 through the air supply pipe 105 and evenly and finely blown onto the inverted endoscope parts inside the placement box 7 through the multiple spray holes 103, so that the endoscope parts can be quickly dried. The combination of cleaning and drying is integrated, thus eliminating the operation of transferring and processing step by step and effectively improving the overall processing efficiency.

[0028] Further, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, it is worth specifically explaining that the covering assembly 2 includes a notch 203 formed in one side surface of the placement box 7 facing the opening end of the processing box 4. A cover plate 201 is slidably inserted into the notch 203. Multiple first through holes 202 are formed in the side surface of the cover plate 201 at equidistant intervals. During specific operation, by pulling out the cover plate 201 from inside the placement box 7, it is convenient to place and take out parts inside the placement box 7. By inserting the cover plate 201 into the placement box 7, the opening of the placement box 7 is closed by the cover plate 201, so that when the placement box 7 is turned over, the parts will not fall out and will roll inside the placement box 7. The cleaning water and hot air enter the placement box 7 through the multiple first through holes 202 for cleaning and drying.

[0029] Further, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, it is worth specifically explaining that the rotating assembly 3 includes a joint shaft rod 302 fixed to one end of the placement box 7 away from the opening end of the processing box 4. The joint shaft rod 302 rotatably penetrates the side wall of the processing box 4, and a large gear 301 is fixed to the end of the joint shaft rod 302 located outside the processing box 4. A motor 304 is fixed to the outer side wall of the processing box 4, and a small gear 303 engaged with the large gear 301 is fixed to the output end of the motor 304. During specific operation, start the motor 304 to work. The output end of the motor 304 drives the small gear 303 to rotate, thereby driving the joint shaft rod 302 to rotate through the cooperation of the small gear 303 and the large gear 301, and then driving the placement box 7 to slowly turn over, so that the endoscope parts inside the placement box 7 can be turned over and cleaned and dried.

[0030] This solution has the following working process: Pull out the cover plate 201 from the inside of the placement box 7, place the disassembled endoscope parts into the placement box 7 through the opening end of the placement box 7, insert the cover plate 201 into the placement box 7, so as to seal the opening of the placement box 7 through the cover plate 201 to ensure that the parts will not fall out. Inject the cleaning water with a certain water pressure into the cavity 102 through the infusion pipe 104, and then spray it evenly and finely onto the endoscope parts inside the placement box 7 through the plurality of spray holes 103 to clean the endoscope parts. Start the motor 304 to work. The output end of the motor 304 drives the small gear 303 to rotate, thereby driving the joint shaft rod 302 to rotate through the cooperation of the small gear 303 and the large gear 301, and then driving the placement box 7 to slowly turn over, so that the endoscope parts inside the placement box 7 can be turned over and cleaned. After the cleaning is completed, turn off the water pump and stop injecting the cleaning water inside the infusion pipe 104. Start the hot air blower. The hot air is transported to the cavity 102 through the air delivery pipe 105, and the hot air is evenly and finely blown out onto the endoscope parts turned over inside the placement box 7 through the plurality of spray holes 103, so that the endoscope parts can be quickly dried.

[0031] Further, as Figure 4 shown, it is worth specifically explaining that a handle 206 is fixed to the middle of one end of the cover plate 201, and a rubber sleeve is fitted on the surface of the handle 206. During specific operation, the handle 206 is provided to facilitate the manual pulling of the cover plate 201 and facilitate the operation.

[0032] Further, as Figure 4 shown, it is worth specifically explaining that a stop plate 205 for stopping and limiting the cover plate 201 is rotatably connected to the end side surface of the placement box 7. There are two stop plates 205, and the two stop plates 205 are symmetrically distributed. During specific operation, by rotating the stop plate 205, the end of the cover plate 201 is stopped by the stop plate 205 to avoid the problem that the cover plate 201 accidentally slides out from the inside of the placement box 7.

[0033] Further, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, it is worth specifically explaining that a drain port is provided on the bottom side wall of the treatment box 4, and a liquid discharge pipe 8 communicating with the drain port is fixed on the bottom side wall of the treatment box 4.

[0034] In summary: The opening end of the placement box 7 is closed by the covering assembly 2, and the cleaning water is evenly and finely sprayed onto the endoscope parts inside the placement box 7 through the washing and blowing assembly 1 to clean the endoscope parts. The placement box 7 is driven to slowly rotate and flip by the rotating assembly 3, and the covering assembly 2 blocks the endoscope parts inside the placement box 7, so that the endoscope parts inside the placement box 7 are continuously flipped and come into contact with the sprayed cleaning water, enabling all positions of the endoscope parts to come into contact with the cleaning water, thereby performing a comprehensive flushing, effectively improving the comprehensiveness of the cleaning of the endoscope parts and the cleaning effect. After the cleaning is completed, the introduction of the cleaning water inside the washing and blowing assembly 1 is stopped, and hot air is switched to be introduced into the washing and blowing assembly 1. The hot air is evenly and finely blown onto the endoscope parts inside the placement box 7 that are flipping, so that the endoscope parts are quickly dried. The cleaning and drying are integrated, thus eliminating the operation of transferring and processing step by step, and effectively improving the overall processing efficiency.

[0035] The water pump and the hot air blower can be purchased on the market. The water pump and the hot air blower are equipped with power supplies, which are mature technologies in this field and have been fully disclosed, so they are not repeated in the specification.
