Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a drying device for medical endoscope components. Background Technology

[0002] As the requirements for surgical wound surfaces become increasingly stringent, more and more patients are opting for minimally invasive or non-invasive surgeries. This has led to continuous innovation and improvement in medical device products. However, during the mass production and assembly of disposable endoscopes, some components (mainly plastic parts) may not be completely dried after cleaning, creating challenges for subsequent production and assembly.

[0003] Because the components of disposable endoscopes are small, the standard drying process of placing them in stainless steel trays and then drying them in a constant-temperature oven after cleaning often results in a significant amount of internal moisture remaining, causing problems in production and assembly. To completely dry the components using the tray drying method, the same process needs to be repeated 2-3 times, with each repetition requiring 120 minutes. This represents a huge waste of time and manpower, and from an environmental perspective, it also wastes a considerable amount of electricity. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a drying device for medical endoscope components, in order to solve the problem of low drying efficiency of internal moisture in endoscope components in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a drying device for medical endoscope components is provided, comprising: a base plate; a support assembly disposed on the base plate and connected to the base plate, wherein a plurality of limiting portions are provided at intervals along the height direction of the support assembly, and each limiting portion is disposed at an angle to the height direction of the support assembly; and a plurality of support rod assemblies, wherein the plurality of support rod assemblies are disposed in correspondence with the plurality of limiting portions, at least a portion of the support rod assemblies are disposed within the limiting portions, and each support rod assembly is used to place the target component.

[0006] Furthermore, the working surface of the strut assembly is set at an angle relative to the horizontal plane of the base plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the strut assembly includes: a strut, the two ends of which are located within the limiting portion, and the surface of the strut being set at an angle relative to the horizontal plane of the base plate; and a plurality of support members, which are spaced apart along the surface of the strut and are used to place the target part.

[0008] Furthermore, a stepped structure is provided between the surface of the strut and the support member.

[0009] Furthermore, the surface of the strut is provided with a limiting hole, and the support member is located inside the limiting hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the bracket assembly includes at least two brackets, which are arranged opposite to each other and connected to the base plate. Each bracket is provided with multiple limiting grooves, and two limiting grooves of the same height on each bracket together form a limiting part.

[0011] Furthermore, multiple limiting grooves are provided on one side of the bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, multiple limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, the medical endoscope component drying device also includes: a fixing part, which is located on the base plate, with one end of the fixing part connected to the base plate and the other end of the fixing part connected to the side of the bracket that has a limiting part.

[0014] Furthermore, the fixing part includes: a reinforcing plate, one end of which is connected to the base plate via a fixing member, and the other end of which is connected to the bracket via a fixing member.

[0015] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, a support assembly is set on the base plate, and multiple limiting parts are set at intervals along the height direction of the support assembly. Each limiting part is set at an angle to the height direction of the support assembly. At least a portion of the support rod assembly is set inside the limiting part, so that each support rod assembly is set at an angle. By placing the target part on the support rod assembly, more effective convection of hot air can be promoted inside the device. Thus, the target parts on each support rod assembly can be dried with hot air evenly. This increases the contact area between the parts and the air, promotes the circulation of hot air inside the parts, thereby accelerating the evaporation and loss of moisture and improving the drying efficiency.

[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0033] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0034] Exemplary embodiments according to this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, for clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to denote the same devices, and therefore their description will be omitted.

[0035] It should be noted that the existing drying method involves cleaning the parts, laying them flat on a stainless steel tray, and then placing them in a constant-temperature drying oven. Due to the small size of the parts, the internal moisture cannot be completely dried. This causes problems for subsequent assembly and significantly exceeds the normal working time for this process.

[0036] The medical endoscope component drying device of this invention dries the components by placing the device in a constant temperature drying oven.

[0037] Combination Figures 1 to 8 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, a drying device for medical endoscope components is provided.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a medical endoscope component drying device includes: a base plate 1; a support assembly 2, which is disposed on the base plate 1 and connected to the base plate 1; a plurality of limiting parts 21 are provided at intervals along the height direction of the support assembly 2, and each limiting part 21 is arranged at an angle to the height direction of the support assembly 2; a plurality of support rod assemblies 3, which are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of limiting parts 21, and at least some of the support rod assemblies 3 are disposed within the limiting parts 21, and each support rod assembly 3 is used to place the target part 5.

[0039] In this embodiment, a support assembly 2 is provided on the base plate 1, and multiple limiting parts 21 are provided at intervals along the height direction of the support assembly 2, with each limiting part 21 being set at an angle to the height direction of the support assembly 2. At least a portion of the support rod assembly 3 is provided within the limiting part 21, so that each support rod assembly 3 is set at an angle. By placing the target part 5 on the support rod assembly 3, more effective convection of hot air can be promoted inside the device, so that the target parts 5 on each support rod assembly 3 can be dried with hot air evenly. This can increase the contact area between the parts and the air, promote the circulation of hot air inside the endoscope parts, thereby accelerating the evaporation and loss of moisture and improving the drying efficiency.

[0040] Furthermore, the working surface of the strut assembly 3 is set at an angle relative to the horizontal plane of the base plate 1. The inclined strut assembly 3 promotes more effective convection of hot air within the device. In the constant temperature drying oven, hot air rises, and when it encounters the inclined strut assembly 3, it forms an accelerated flow on its surface, thereby increasing the contact between the hot air and the surface of the parts and accelerating moisture evaporation.

[0041] Furthermore, the strut assembly 3 includes: a strut 31, the two ends of which are located within the limiting portion, and the surface of the strut 31 is set at an angle relative to the horizontal plane of the base plate 1; and a plurality of support members 32, which are spaced apart along the surface of the strut 31, and the support members 32 are used to place the target part 5.

[0042] The two ends of the strut 31 are fixed in the limiting part and set at a certain angle relative to the horizontal plane of the base plate 1. This inclined structure promotes the optimized flow of hot air in the drying chamber, ensuring the effective transfer and uniform distribution of heat energy. The multiple support members 32 arranged at intervals along the surface of the strut 31 not only provide an independent support point for each target part 5, avoiding direct contact between parts and reducing the risk of cross-contamination and damage, but also accelerate the evaporation of moisture by increasing the space for air circulation, thereby improving the drying uniformity and efficiency.

[0043] In this embodiment, the support member 32 is a stainless steel wire.

[0044] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 As shown, a stepped structure 33 is provided between the surface of the strut 31 and the support member 32. This design ensures that after the target part 5 is mounted on the support member 32, there is a certain gap between the target part 5 and the surface of the strut 31. During the drying of the target part 5 in the constant temperature drying oven, hot air can form convection inside the target part 5, accelerating moisture loss and evaporation, thereby greatly reducing the processing time of this step. Production use verification shows that this solution can reduce the processing time of this step from the original 120 minutes to approximately 70 minutes.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the strut 31 is provided with a limiting hole 34, and the support member 32 is located in the limiting hole 34. The limiting hole 34 provides precise positioning for the support member 32, ensuring the fixed position of each support member on the strut 31, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire strut assembly and preventing the support member 32 from moving or falling off during the drying process.

[0046] Furthermore, the bracket assembly 2 includes at least two brackets 22, which are arranged opposite to each other and connected to the base plate 1. Each bracket 22 is provided with multiple limiting grooves, and two limiting grooves of the same height on each bracket 22 together form a limiting part 21.

[0047] In this embodiment, the bracket 22 and the base plate 1 are fixedly connected by screws, which improves the structural stability and reliability of the device. Specifically, the limiting grooves of the same height in the two opposing brackets 22 jointly form a limiting part 21, and the limiting groove is designed with an inclined opening so that the support rod assembly 3 is set at an inclination. The bracket assembly 2 not only improves the thermal efficiency and drying uniformity in the drying process, but also enhances the support stability and durability of the equipment.

[0048] In some alternative embodiments, a plurality of limiting grooves are provided on one side of the bracket 22.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, the two brackets 22 have multiple spaced limiting grooves on the same side. The design of the limiting groove on one side allows the drying device to reduce the overall space occupation while maintaining its function.

[0050] In some alternative embodiments, the bracket 22 has multiple limiting grooves on both sides.

[0051] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, both sides of the two brackets 22 are provided with multiple spaced limiting grooves, which allow two rows of support rod assemblies 3 to be placed at the same height. Compared with a single-sided limiting groove, the space utilization rate inside the drying oven can be significantly improved, more target parts 5 can be placed, production efficiency can be improved and the drying cost per unit part can be reduced.

[0052] Furthermore, the medical endoscope component drying device also includes: a fixing part 4, which is located on the base plate 1. One end of the fixing part 4 is connected to the base plate 1, and the other end of the fixing part 4 is connected to the side of the bracket 22 where the limiting part 21 is provided.

[0053] Specifically, the fixing part 4 is provided on the side of the bracket 22 with the limiting groove, and the fixing part 4 is used to enhance the structural stability between the bracket 22 and the base plate 1.

[0054] like Figure 5As shown, each bracket 22 has a limiting groove on one side, and a fixing part 4 is provided on the side of the two brackets with the limiting groove.

[0055] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, each bracket 22 has a limiting groove on both sides, and a fixing part 4 is provided on both sides of the two brackets to improve structural stability.

[0056] Furthermore, the fixing part 4 includes a reinforcing plate 41, one end of which is connected to the base plate 1 via a fixing member 42, and the other end of which is connected to the bracket 22 via the fixing member 42. This arrangement prevents the bracket 22 from becoming loose from the base plate 1 during long-term and frequent use of the drying device.

[0057] According to another aspect of this utility model, a method for using a drying device for medical endoscope components is provided. The method specifically includes: after cleaning the target part 5, placing the target part 5 to be dried on the support rod assembly 3 of the drying fixture, and placing the support rod assembly at a certain angle on the bracket 22 of the fixture. The bracket 22 is provided with a limiting groove, which is an inclined opening, to facilitate better handling of the support rod assembly 3 by the operator. Using this device, the components to be dried can be completely dried within one drying cycle (120 minutes), eliminating the need for repeated time and manpower input.

[0058] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0059] In addition to the above, it should be noted that the terms "one embodiment," "another embodiment," and "embodiment" used in this specification refer to specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment, which are included in at least one embodiment described in the general description of this application. The appearance of the same expression in multiple places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with any embodiment, the intention is to suggest that implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments also falls within the scope of this utility model.

[0060] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

[0061] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
