[0030] In order to make the technical means, creative features, purposes and effects of the utility model easy to understand, the utility model is further described below in combination with specific drawings.
[0031] Referring to Figure 1 , which shows an example of the double-layer sleeve endoscope water-jet sheath provided by the utility model.
[0032] As shown in the drawings, the double-layer sleeve endoscope water-jet sheath of the present example mainly comprises a connecting base 1, a water-jet pipe 2 and a suction pipe 3.
[0033] In combination with Figure 2 , the water-jet pipe 2 and the suction pipe 3 are arranged in the connecting base 1, and the connecting base 1 is connected and matched with the endoscope 4, so that the insertion part 41 at the front end of the endoscope 4 is arranged in the water-jet pipe 2. The water-jet pipe 2 comprises a first sleeve 21 and a second sleeve 22, the second sleeve 22 is arranged in the first sleeve 21, and the insertion part 41 is arranged in the second sleeve 22. The first sleeve 21 is connected with the water inlet pipe 61, and a gap is arranged between the inner wall of the first sleeve 21 and the outer wall of the second sleeve 22 to form a water-jet channel 5. One end of the water-jet channel 5 extends out of the connecting base 1 to form an open end 51, and the other end is arranged in the connecting base 1 to form a closed end 52, so that the water-jet pipe 2 can be filled with water from the water inlet pipe 61, and the water can flow out of the open end 51 through the water-jet channel 51 to flush the field of view at the front end of the endoscope 4, and will not flow back into the connecting base 1, ensuring the sealing of the water-jet channel 51, preventing pollution of the operating environment, and damage to the endoscope 4 and the connected equipment endoscope 4.
[0034] Further, one end of the suction pipe 3 extends out of the connecting base 1 and is arranged on the water-jet pipe 2, and the other end is connected with the negative suction pipe 62, so that the negative pressure gas can enter the suction pipe 3 from the negative suction pipe 62, and the water flowing out of the water-jet pipe 2 and the liquid in the field of view at the front end of the endoscope 4 can be sucked away under the action of negative pressure, ensuring the clarity of the field of view at the front end of the endoscope 4. Thus, under the premise of ensuring the compact structure of the existing endoscope water-jet and suction assembly, the present endoscope water-jet sheath realizes the synchronous and independent flushing and suction of water through the water-jet pipe 2 and the suction pipe 3 respectively, improving the operation convenience and functionality.
[0035] Among them, the connecting base 1 is provided with a coupling piece 6 which can move axially along the connecting base 1, and the water-jet pipe 2 and the suction pipe 3 are arranged in the coupling piece 6, and the coupling piece 6 cooperates with the coupling piece 6 to form a moving assembly, so that the water-jet pipe 2 and the suction pipe 3 can move axially in the connecting base 1 synchronously, realizing the expansion and contraction of the water-jet pipe 2 and the suction pipe 3.
[0036] Specifically, the water inlet pipe 61 and the negative suction pipe 62 are formed in the coupling member 6 respectively, so that the flushing water pipe 2 and the suction water pipe 3 are arranged in the coupling member 6 and connected with the water inlet pipe 61 and the negative suction pipe 62 respectively.
[0037] Further, the water inlet pipe 61 is arranged on one side of the coupling member 6 and configured as a smooth pipe to reduce the hydraulic loss of the flushing water in the water inlet pipe 61, so as to reduce the pressure loss of the flushing water.
[0038] In some embodiments, the water inlet pipe 61 is further formed with a straight flow channel 611 and a buffer flow channel 612, the straight flow channel 611 is connected with the flushing water pipe 2 through the buffer flow channel 612, and the diameter of the buffer flow channel 612 is greater than that of the straight flow channel 611. After the flushing water enters the straight flow channel 611, it enters the buffer flow channel 612 with a larger diameter, which increases the flow area and diffuses and buffers in the buffer flow channel 612, reduces the friction resistance of the flushing water, and reduces the energy loss. Then the flushing water enters the flushing water pipe 2, so that the flushing water can maintain water pressure to flow out of the flushing water pipe 2, thereby effectively flushing the field of view at the front end of the endoscope 4.
[0039] In order to ensure the structural compactness of the existing endoscope flushing and suction assembly, not to increase the structure of the flushing and suction assembly, and to ensure that the endoscope 4 can effectively work in a narrow environment, after the endoscope 4 is connected with the connecting base 1, the insertion part 41 at the front end of the endoscope 4 can be arranged in the flushing water pipe 2 to flush the field of view at the front end of the endoscope.
[0040] Further, the end portion region of the coupling member 6 matched with the flushing water pipe 2 is formed with an expanding pipe mouth 63 with gradually increasing caliber, so that the insertion part 41 can enter the flushing water pipe 2 along the inner wall of the expanding pipe mouth 63 to realize blind insertion of the insertion part 41 and facilitate assembly of the insertion part 41.
[0041] Further, the flushing water pipe 2 is composed of a first sleeve 21 and a second sleeve 22, and the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 22 are matched to form a flushing water channel 5, so that the flushing water flows in the flushing water channel 5 after entering the flushing water pipe 2 from the water inlet pipe 61.
[0042] Specifically, the second sleeve 22 is arranged in the first sleeve 21, and the flushing water channel 5 is formed by the gap between the inner wall of the first sleeve 21 and the outer wall of the second sleeve 22, so that the flushing water pipe 2 forms a double-layer sleeve, the insertion part 41 is arranged in the second sleeve 22, so that the second sleeve 22 forms a protection mechanism for the insertion part 41, and the first sleeve 21 is connected with the water inlet pipe 61, so that the flushing water can enter the flushing water channel 5 from the water inlet pipe 61 without affecting the normal work of the insertion part 41.
[0043] Further, one end of the irrigation water channel 5 extends out of the connection base 1 to form an open end 51, so that the irrigation water can flow out of the open end 51 to flush the field of view of the front end of the endoscope, and the other end of the irrigation water channel 5 is built into the connection base 1 to form a closed end 52 to seal the irrigation water channel 5, so as to ensure the flow direction of the irrigation water and prevent the irrigation water from flowing back into the connection base 1, thereby polluting the surgical environment and damaging the endoscope 4 and the equipment connected thereto.
[0044] The specific structure of the irrigation water channel 5 is illustrated below.
[0045] In this example, the first sleeve 21 is configured as a straight pipe with the same outer diameter, the first end 211 is open, and the inner diameter of the first end 211 is larger than the pipe diameter of the second sleeve 22, so that a gap is formed between the inner wall of the first sleeve 21 and the outer wall of the second sleeve 22, thereby forming the irrigation water channel 5 and forming the open end 51 of the irrigation water channel 5 at the first end 211 of the first sleeve 21, so that the irrigation water flows out of the open end 51.
[0046] Further, the inner diameter of the second end 212 region of the first sleeve 21 is adapted to the pipe diameter of the second sleeve 23, so that the second end 212 region of the first sleeve 21 is tightly abutted with the second sleeve 23 without a gap, thereby forming the closed end 52 of the irrigation water channel 5, so that the irrigation water cannot flow out of the closed end 52.
[0047] In some embodiments, the first sleeve 21 can also be configured as a tapered pipe with the inner diameter gradually decreasing from the first end 211 to the second end 212, and the inner diameter of the first end 211 is larger than the pipe diameter of the second sleeve 22, and the inner diameter of the second end 212 is adapted to the pipe diameter of the second sleeve 22, so that a tapered irrigation water channel 5 with gradually decreasing diameter is formed between the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 22, and the second sleeve 22 is connected at the second end 212 of the first sleeve 21 to form the closed end 52 of the irrigation water channel 5.
[0048] Further, the tapered irrigation water channel 5 can accelerate the flow of irrigation water during the flow process to increase the flow rate and flow volume, thereby improving the delivery efficiency of the irrigation water and the flushing effect on the field of view of the front end of the endoscope 4.
[0049] The first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 22 thus configured can cooperate to form the irrigation water channel 5, and one end of the irrigation water channel 5 extending out of the connection base 1, i.e. the first end 211 of the first sleeve 21, forms the open end 51, and the other end of the irrigation water channel 5 built into the connection base 1, i.e. the second end 212 of the first sleeve 21, forms the closed end 52, so that the irrigation water enters the irrigation water pipe 2, flows along the irrigation water channel 5, and flows out of the open end 51, while not flowing back out of the closed end 52, thereby ensuring the sealing of the irrigation water channel 5 and the working stability of the endoscope 4.
[0050] Further, in the present example, the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 22 are configured as coaxially distributed circular cross-section pipes to reduce the difficulty of assembly, while making the flushing water passage 5 form a circular cross-section to reduce the flow resistance of the flushing water and improve the flow uniformity.
[0051] In some embodiments, the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 22 can also be configured as eccentrically distributed special-shaped cross-section pipes, as long as a gap is provided between the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 22 to form the flushing water passage 5, so that the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 22 can be adaptively adjusted according to the working space of the endoscope 4, ensuring the structural compactness of the endoscope flushing assembly, so that the endoscope 4 can effectively work in a narrow environment.
[0052] Here, the lengths of the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 22 are not limited, and the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 22 can be adaptively adjusted according to specific applications and configured to have the same or different lengths.
[0053] The flushing water pipe 2 and the coupling 6 thus formed cooperate to realize the flushing function of the present endoscope flushing sheath, while ensuring the water flow pressure and preventing the flushing water from flowing back to pollute the surgical environment and damage the endoscope and the connected equipment.
[0054] In order to enable the present endoscope flushing sheath to independently and synchronously perform flushing and suction, the suction pipe 3 is arranged in the coupling 6, one end of which extends out of the connecting base 1 and is placed on the flushing water pipe 2 (the first sleeve 21), and the other end is connected to the negative suction pipe 62 formed on the other side of the coupling 6, so that the negative pressure gas enters the suction pipe 3 from the negative suction pipe 62, and the liquid in the field of view at the front end of the endoscope 4 is sucked away under the action of negative pressure.
[0055] Further, the length of the suction pipe 3 extending out of the connecting base 1 is preferably greater than the length of the flushing water pipe 2 extending out of the connecting base 1, so that the suction pipe 3 can extend to the position where suction is needed to suck out the cut-off tissue or the ground bone powder after flushing.
[0056] Thus, the flushing water pipe 2 and the suction pipe 3 cooperate to be respectively used for flushing and suction, and can realize the independent working and synchronous working of the flushing and suction functions of the present endoscope flushing sheath without increasing the structure of the endoscope flushing assembly, and ensuring that the endoscope can be used in a narrow space.
[0057] In order to ensure that the water inlet pipe 61 and the negative suction pipe 62 on the connecting piece 6 are stably connected with the flushing water pipe 2 and the suction water pipe 3 respectively when the connecting piece 6 moves axially inside the connecting base 1, a moving groove 11 corresponding to the water inlet pipe 61 and the negative suction pipe 62 is formed on each side of the connecting base 1, and the water inlet pipe 61 and the negative suction pipe 62 extend out of the connecting base 1 and are arranged in the moving groove 11, so that the water inlet pipe 61 and the negative suction pipe 62 move axially along the moving groove 11 synchronously when the connecting piece 6 moves axially inside the connecting base 1, and the water inlet pipe 61 and the negative suction pipe 62 are stably connected with the flushing water pipe 2 and the suction water pipe 3, thereby ensuring the reliability of the endoscope flushing sheath.
[0058] The working process of the endoscope flushing sheath in the specific application of the utility model is illustrated below, and it should be noted that the content described herein is only a specific application example of the utility model and does not limit the utility model.
[0059] The flushing water and the suction water are taken as examples.
[0060] The flushing water enters the water inlet pipe 61 of the connecting piece 6, enters the flushing water pipe 2 through the water inlet pipe 61, flows along the flushing water channel 5 formed between the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 22, and finally flows out of the open end 51 of the flushing water channel 5 to flush the field of view at the front end of the endoscope 4.
[0061] During the flow of the flushing water, the closed end 52 of the flushing water channel 5 seals the flushing water, so that the flushing water can only flow out of the open end 51 and cannot flow back into the connecting base 1, thereby ensuring the sealing property of the flushing water and preventing the pollution of the surgical environment and the damage of the endoscope 4 and the connected equipment.
[0062] At the same time, the negative pressure gas enters the suction water pipe 3 from the negative suction pipe 62 of the connecting piece 6, and the flushing water flowing out of the flushing water pipe 2 and the liquid in the field of view at the front end of the endoscope 4 are sucked away under the action of the negative pressure, thereby ensuring the clarity of the field of view at the front end of the endoscope 4.
[0063] The double-layer sleeve endoscope flushing sheath provided by the utility model realizes the independent work and the synchronous work of the flushing water and the suction water without increasing the structure of the endoscope flushing and suction assembly, ensures that the endoscope can be used in a narrow space, and ensures the sealing property of the flushing water.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited by the above examples, and the above examples and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principles of the present application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, various changes and improvements can be made to the present application, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the claimed present application.
