Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and particularly to a drying table for a flexible endoscope. Background Art

[0002] To clearly diagnose the patient's condition, it is usually necessary to insert a flexible endoscope to clearly observe the lesion. Since the flexible endoscope is in long-term contact with the patient's body fluid, thorough internal and external cleaning is required after the operation. Commonly used flexible endoscopes include fiber flexible endoscopes and electronic flexible endoscopes. Among them, fiber flexible endoscopes are widely used due to their low usage cost. The fiber flexible endoscope includes an operation end and an endoscope end for insertion. The operation end is composed of an eyepiece, an air supply joint, a water supply joint, and an operation button, while the endoscope end includes an outer hose. A light guide beam and an image guide beam for imaging are integrated inside the outer hose. During cleaning, the inside of the outer hose needs to be thoroughly cleaned, and after cleaning, the inside needs to be dried to avoid bacterial growth. The existing drying device is usually a drying table with a blowing pipe. By connecting a drying pipe to the air supply joint at the operation end, the inside of the outer hose is dried through the flow of gas. However, since the outer hose is not fixed and sealed, it is extremely easy to swing violently during the gas flow, and the residual liquid inside combines with the gas to form aerosol and enters the air, and the existing germs are extremely likely to cause medical infections. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a drying table for a flexible endoscope. The utility model can fully fix and seal the flexible endoscope, and improve the convenience and safety of the drying process.

Specific embodiments

[0019] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments, but it shall not be used as a basis for limiting the present utility model.

[0020] Embodiment: A drying table for a flexible endoscope, as shown in the attached Figure 1 figure, includes a drying table main body 1, on which an outer drying blowpipe 2, an inner drying blowpipe 25 and an operating table 3 are assembled. The inner ends of the outer drying blowpipe 2 and the inner drying blowpipe 25 are both connected to a blower. The outer port of the outer drying blowpipe 2 blows directly, and the outer port of the inner drying blowpipe 25 is used to connect the air supply joint of the flexible endoscope. A control panel connected to the blower is also assembled on the drying table main body, which can adjust the wind force and timing of the blower. The operating table 3 has a water outlet, which is a technical means well-known and mastered by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The drying table main body 1 has a liquid outlet 4, an endoscope end fixing member 5 and an operating end fixing member 6, and the endoscope end fixing member 5 is fixed on the liquid outlet 4; as shown in the attached Figure 2 and the attached Figure 3 figure, an installation opening 7 facing the operating end fixing member 6 is formed on the side of the endoscope end fixing member 5, and a liquid passing channel 8 connected to the liquid outlet 4 is formed at the inner end of the installation opening 7; a mounting member 9 with a threaded fit is provided on the installation opening 7, an endoscope end socket 10 is formed inside the mounting member 9, and 4 annularly and evenly distributed elastic clips 11 made of rubber are fixed at the inner end of the mounting member 9. There is a moving gap 12 between the elastic clips 11; an extrusion cavity 13 for gathering the elastic clips 11 is processed at the inner end of the installation opening 7; the outer end spacing of the moving gap 12 is greater than its inner end gap; the extrusion cavity 13 is frustum-shaped, its small round end is connected to the liquid passing channel 8, and the elastic clips can be gathered after being extruded to form a frustum shape that fits the extrusion cavity, reducing the resistance during the installation process on the premise of tight fitting; the diameter of the small round end of the extrusion cavity 13 is greater than the outer diameter of the endoscope end of the flexible endoscope, which is beneficial for the flexible endoscope to pass through; as shown in the attached Figure 4As shown, a lower groove 14 adapted to the operating end of the flexible endoscope is formed in the operating end fixing member 6. A stop block 15 is integrally formed above the lower groove 14 near the endoscope end fixing member 5. An upper groove 16 is formed at the bottom of the stop block 15. The upper groove 16 and the lower groove 14 enclose a positioning cavity 17 adapted to the operating end of the flexible endoscope. A strip-shaped bayonet 18 communicating with the upper groove 16 and fitting the endoscope end of the flexible endoscope is formed in the stop block 15. A gas supply joint limiting groove 26 is formed at one end of the stop block 15 away from the endoscope end fixing member 5. When the operating end is placed, the endoscope end is inserted into the strip-shaped bayonet and moved downward until it reaches the positioning cavity. Then, the endoscope end is pulled into the endoscope end socket, and the operating end moves into the lower groove accordingly and is limited by the positioning cavity. At the same time, the gas supply joint also enters the gas supply joint limiting groove to prevent the operating end from rotating. The installation process is convenient and fast. The liquid passing channel 8 is L-shaped, and the corner has an arc transition. The blown liquid will be guided along the curved surface to the liquid outlet to avoid internal sputtering. A holding block 19 is integrally formed at the outer end of the installation member 9. Friction lines 20 are processed on the holding block 19 for easy hand-held rotation. An acrylic outer cover 22 is assembled on the drying table main body. A groove for the arm to extend into is integrally formed on the outer cover to further avoid the overflow of aerosol through the mask. A sealed interface 23 with a threaded connection is processed on the endoscope end fixing member 5. A pressure measuring hose 24 with an end threadedly matched with the sealed interface 23 and communicating with the liquid passing channel 8 is provided on the drying table main body 1. A pressure monitor connected to the pressure measuring hose is integrated in the drying table main body 1. After connecting the endoscope end of the flexible endoscope, the pressure measuring hose is connected to the sealed interface to achieve sealing. The internal air pressure is monitored by the pressure monitor through the pressure measuring hose, and the value is displayed on the control panel to help the user judge the internal pressure situation for corresponding adjustment.

[0021] Working principle: The outer wall of the flexible endoscope is dried by the operating table and the external drying blow pipe. Before internal drying, the installation member 9 is partially screwed into the installation port 7. Then, the operating end of the flexible endoscope is placed on the operating end fixing member 6 and fixed. Then, the endoscope end of the flexible endoscope is inserted into the endoscope end socket 10, further reaches the liquid passing channel 8 through the extrusion cavity 13, and finally the installation member 9 is fully screwed in. The elastic clip 11 of the installation member 9 contacts the extrusion cavity 13. The extrusion cavity 13 pushes the elastic clip 11 to gather, and the movement gap 12 shrinks, so that the inner end of the elastic clip 11 forms a closed ring, which fits closely with the side wall of the endoscope end to achieve fixation. At the same time, the liquid passing channel 8 and the extrusion cavity 13 are isolated to achieve sealing. An internal drying blow pipe 25 is connected to the operating end. After the gas is sent in, the remaining liquid inside directly enters the liquid passing channel 8 and flows out from the liquid outlet 4, avoiding the formation of aerosol entering the air. At the same time, the endoscope end is reliably fixed and not prone to shaking, and the use safety and convenience are good.
