These forceps are approximately 50 to 80 cm long, with an operating tip at one end and a handle at the other. Cleaning the operating tip requires manual pressure on the handle, making it inconvenient for one person to clean it. This can lead to incomplete cleaning and frequent rewashing when inspecting the cleaning quality of the instruments before packaging, resulting in wasted labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] Aiming at the above problems, the utility model proposes a laparoscope operating forceps spreader.

[0004] The technical solutions adopted by this utility model are as follows:

[0005] A laparoscopic forceps spreader comprises two independently arranged components, the two components being used to cooperate with the two handle ends of the laparoscopic forceps respectively;

[0006] The element comprises a body and a matching portion provided on the body, wherein the matching portion is used to pass through and hook the handle end of the laparoscope operating forceps;

[0007] One of the two components has a first positioning portion and the other has a second positioning portion. During operation, the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion are positioned and matched with each other to relatively fix the two components.

[0008] When the laparoscopic forceps spreader of the present application is used, the mating portions of the two components respectively pass through and hook the two handle ends of the laparoscopic forceps, and then the two components are moved closer or farther away from each other. Under the drive of the mating portions, the two handle ends of the laparoscopic forceps are moved closer or farther away from each other, and then the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion are positioned and mated with each other. This can maintain the position of the two handle ends, and the cleaning staff can now focus on cleaning the operating ends of the laparoscopic forceps. The present application has a simple structure and can be operated independently by one person, ensuring high cleaning quality.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the element further comprises a supporting portion, and the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion are respectively disposed on the corresponding supporting portion.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the two supporting portions are magnetically coupled.

[0015] The magnetic adsorption can prevent the first tooth and the second tooth from separating from each other, resulting in positioning failure and affecting cleaning efficiency.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, one of the supporting parts has a magnet, and the other supporting part also has a magnet.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, one of the supporting parts has a magnet, and the other supporting part has a material that can be attracted by the magnet.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, there are a plurality of second teeth, each second tooth is arranged at intervals, and the length of the first tooth is greater than that of the second tooth.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the body has a through hole for a finger to pass through.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the matching portion is a curved hook-shaped structure.

[0021] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that when the laparoscopic forceps spreader is used, the mating portions of the two components respectively pass through and hook the two handle ends of the laparoscopic forceps, and then the two components are moved closer or farther away from each other. Under the drive of the mating portions, the two handle ends of the laparoscopic forceps are moved closer or farther away from each other, and then the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion are positioned and mated with each other, so that the positions of the two handle ends can be maintained, and the cleaning staff can now focus on cleaning the operating ends of the laparoscopic forceps. The present invention has a simple structure and can be operated independently by one person, ensuring high cleaning quality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a laparoscopic forceps spreader comprises two independently arranged elements 1, the two elements 1 being used to cooperate with the two handle ends of the laparoscopic forceps respectively;

[0033] The element 1 includes a body 11 and a matching portion 12 provided on the body 11, wherein the matching portion 12 is used to pass through and hook the handle end of the laparoscope operating forceps;

[0034] One of the two elements 1 has a first positioning portion, and the other has a second positioning portion. During operation, the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion are positioned and matched with each other to relatively fix the two elements 1.

[0035] When the laparoscopic forceps spreader of the present application is used, the mating portions 12 of the two elements 1 respectively pass through and hook the two handle ends of the laparoscopic forceps, and then the two elements 1 are moved closer or farther away from each other. Driven by the mating portions 12, the two handle ends of the laparoscopic forceps are moved closer or farther away from each other, and then the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion are positioned and mated with each other, so that the positions of the two handle ends can be maintained. At this time, the cleaning staff can focus on cleaning the operating ends of the laparoscopic forceps. The present application has a simple structure and can be operated independently by one person, ensuring the quality of cleaning.

[0036] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first positioning portion is a plurality of first teeth 13 arranged at intervals, and the second positioning portion is a second tooth 14. When the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion are positioned and matched with each other, the second tooth 14 is embedded between two adjacent first teeth 13.

[0037] The coordination of different teeth can determine the size of the opening of the laparoscope operating forceps, thereby reducing the situation where the operating end is over-opened due to improper force, or the phenomenon of incomplete opening resulting in inadequate brushing.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first teeth 13 and the second teeth 14 are both bar-shaped teeth, a bar-shaped slot is formed between two adjacent first teeth 13, and the second teeth 14 are embedded in the bar-shaped slot.

[0039] The strip-shaped structure can prevent the two elements 1 from rotating relative to each other.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the element 1 further comprises a support portion 15, and the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion are respectively disposed on the corresponding support portion 15. There are also a plurality of second teeth 14, each second tooth 14 being disposed at intervals, and the length of the first tooth 13 is greater than the length of the second tooth 14.

[0041] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the body 11 has a through hole 111 for a finger to pass through. The mating portion 12 is a curved hook-shaped structure. The provision of through hole 111 facilitates the operator to adjust the distance between the two elements 1. The curved hook-shaped structure of the mating portion 12 enables the element 1 to better cooperate with the handle end of the laparoscope operating forceps, driving the handle end's movement and preventing it from separating from the handle end.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the two supporting parts 15 are magnetically attracted to each other, which can prevent the first teeth 13 and the second teeth 14 from separating from each other, causing positioning failure and affecting cleaning efficiency.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, one of the support portions 15 has a magnet 151. The other support portion 15 also has a magnet 151 (when the two support portions 15 are brought close together, the two magnets 151 attract each other), or the other support portion 15 is made of a material that can be attracted by the magnet 151 (such as iron).

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, because the matching positions of the two supporting parts 15 are different in different situations, preferably, there are multiple magnets 151, which are embedded on the supporting parts 15 at intervals.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of patent protection of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is also included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
