[0029] An endoscope is a medical device used for diagnosis and treatment. It can enter the human body through the mouth or other natural orifices to observe lesions and other abnormalities. Because it comes into contact with bodily fluids and tissues, it needs to be cleaned and disinfected after use for the next time.
[0030] In existing technologies, endoscope lenses are typically placed in the cleaning tank of a disinfection device for cleaning and disinfection. However, for some special applications, such as outdoor emergency medical care, large disinfection equipment cannot be used. Disposable foam cleaning boxes offer a convenient alternative: they are small, portable, and can be easily disposed of as medical waste after use. The foam cleaning boxes require a foaming process, followed by edge trimming to remove excess material around the edges. Therefore, there is a pressing need for an edge trimming device for the foam cleaning boxes.
[0031] Reference Figure 3 The endoscope cleaning foam box of this utility model includes a box body 30, and the box body 30 includes a functional cavity 31 with an opening at the lower end. The functional cavity 31 is connected to an external device to form a complete chamber for containing cleaning fluid and / or disinfectant. The external device may have a motor or other driving component to make the cleaning fluid and / or disinfectant generate a swirling flow to clean and disinfect the endoscope body.
[0032] Since the box body 30 is made of foam material, when it is foamed and formed by mold, there may be excess foam material at the edge of the cavity. After the mold is opened, excess foam edge material will remain on the lower outer periphery of the box body 30, and the box body 30 needs to be trimmed and shaped. Based on this application scenario, this utility model proposes an endoscope cleaning foam box trimming device.
[0033] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model proposes an endoscope cleaning foam box trimming device for cutting off excess edge material on the lower outer periphery of the box body 30. The device includes a support 10, which includes a top plate 11 and a bottom plate 12. The top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12 are vertically opposite each other. A trimming assembly 20 is installed on the top plate 11. The trimming assembly 20 includes a cutter 21 with a groove 211. The groove 211 penetrates the cutter 21 in the vertical direction and matches the outer contour of the lower end face of the standard part of the box body 30. The bottom plate 12 is used to place and position the box body 30 so that the box body 30 is located below the cutter 21. The cutter 21 is configured to move in the vertical direction relative to the bottom plate 12 to perform trimming operation on the box body 30. The cutter 21 can be fitted onto the outer periphery of the box body 30 through the groove 211 and cut off the excess edge material on the lower outer periphery of the box body 30.
[0034] In one example scheme, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 The edge trimming assembly 20 includes a drive unit 22 and a blade holder. The output shaft of the drive unit 22 is connected to the blade holder. The cutter 21 is detachably mounted on the blade holder. The drive unit 22 is used to drive the blade holder to move in the up and down direction, thereby enabling the cutter 21 to move in the up and down direction.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the blade holder includes a first connecting plate 23 and a second connecting plate 24. The output shaft of the drive unit 22 is connected to the first connecting plate 23. The two second connecting plates 24 are opposite each other in the left-right direction and are detachably installed at the lower end of the first connecting plate 23. The left and right ends of the cutter 21 are detachably connected to the two second connecting plates 24 respectively. Different cutters 21 can be replaced according to the size of the box 30 to suit the edge cutting and shaping of different boxes 30.
[0036] Optionally, the drive component 22 is a cylinder.
[0037] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the blade holder also includes mounting plates 25. The two mounting plates 25 are opposite each other in the left-right direction, and their opposite ends are respectively connected to the second connecting plate 24. The two mounting plates 25 are at the same height. The cutter 21 is located at the lower end of the two mounting plates 25. The upper end of the cutter 21 is detachably connected to the lower end of the two mounting plates 25. The mounting plates 25 ensure the horizontality of the cutter 21 and avoid damage to the box 30 due to the skewed installation of the cutter 21, which helps to ensure the quality of the cutting edge.
[0038] For example, the second connecting plate 24 has multiple sets of mounting holes along the vertical direction. These mounting holes are used to detachably connect the mounting plate 25. The mounting height of the mounting plate 25 relative to the second connecting plate 24 can be adjusted according to the size of the box 30, thereby adjusting the movement stroke of the cutter 21 to meet the cutting requirements of different boxes 30.
[0039] In an example scheme, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bracket 10 also includes support plates 13. The upper and lower ends of the two support plates 13 are connected to the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12, respectively. Guide rails 131 are provided at the ends of the two support plates 13 that are close to each other. Figure 2 The blade holder also includes a guide seat 26, which is installed at one end of the two second connecting plates 24 that are opposite to each other. The guide seat 26 is slidably matched with the guide rail 131, which can ensure the stability of the cutter 21 moving in the up and down direction, reduce the shaking of the cutter 21, and avoid the problem of poor cutting quality of the box 30 due to the shaking of the cutter 21.
[0040] For example, a reinforcing plate 14 is provided between the support plate 13 and the base plate 12. The reinforcing plate 14 is used to increase the connection strength between the support plate 13 and the base plate 12 to ensure the stable movement of the cutter 21.
[0041] In an example scheme, such as Figure 3 As shown, a positioning seat 15 is installed on the base plate 12. The positioning seat 15 cooperates with the cutting groove 211. The outer contour of the orthographic projection of the positioning seat 15 in the vertical direction coincides with the outer contour of the cutting groove 211. When the cutter 21 moves in the vertical direction, the cutter 21 can be sleeved on the positioning seat 15 through the cutting groove 211. The thickness of the positioning seat 15 is greater than or equal to the groove depth of the cutting groove 211. A protrusion 151 is provided at the upper end of the positioning seat 15. The protrusion 151 cooperates with the lower opening contour of the functional cavity 31. More specifically, the orthographic projection of the protrusion 151 in the vertical direction coincides with the lower opening of the functional cavity 31. The protrusion 151 is configured such that when the box body 30 is installed on the protrusion 151 through the functional cavity 31, the position of the box body 30 and the cutting groove 211 are cooperated. When it is necessary to trim the edge of the box body 30, it is only necessary to fix the box body 30 to the protrusion 151 through the functional cavity 31 to complete the positioning and fixing of the box body 30.
[0042] For example, the protrusion 151 and the positioning seat 15 are detachably connected by screws.
[0043] In one of the alternative solutions, such as Figure 3As shown, the lower end of the positioning seat 15 is connected to a fixing plate 16. The outer contour of the fixing plate 16 is larger than the outer contour of the positioning seat 15. More specifically, the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the positioning seat 15 in the vertical direction is included within the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the fixing plate 16 in the vertical direction. The fixing plate 16 is detachably connected to the base plate 12 so as to replace different positioning seats 15 according to the size of the box 30.
[0044] For example, the fixing plate 16 and the base plate 12 are detachably connected by screws.
[0045] In another alternative, such as Figure 4 As shown, a collection groove 121 is provided on the base plate 12. The collection groove 121 extends through the base plate 12 in the vertical direction. The outer contour of the orthographic projection of the collection groove 121 in the vertical direction is greater than or equal to the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the cutter 21 in the vertical direction. A connecting piece 152 is provided on the side or bottom surface of the positioning seat 15. The positioning seat 15 is connected to the groove wall of the collection groove 121 through the connecting piece 152.
[0046] For example, the upper end face of the positioning seat 15 protrudes from the collection groove 121 at a height greater than or equal to the depth of the groove 211.
[0047] For example, the connector 152 is configured as one, which extends in the left-right or front-back direction, and both ends of the connector 152 are connected to the wall of the collection groove 121. The lower end of the positioning seat 15 is connected to the upper end of the connector 152. When the cutter 21 cuts off the excess edge material, the edge material can fall through the collection groove 121, which can prevent the edge material from accumulating on the base plate 12 and help ensure the continuity of the cutting operation.
[0048] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, there are two connectors 152. The two connectors 152 are located at the left and right ends or the front and rear ends of the positioning base 15, and are respectively connected to the left and right walls or the front and rear walls of the collection tank 121.
[0049] For example, the connector 152 is detachably connected to the wall of the collection tank 121.
[0050] For example, the lower end of the base plate 12 is provided with a collection frame for collecting edge material that falls from the collection trough 121.
[0051] In summary, the endoscope cleaning foam box trimming device proposed in this utility model, through the setting of bracket 10 and top plate 11, enables the installation of trimming components, cutter 21 can perform trimming operation on box body 30, and bottom plate 12 can fix box body 30 so that the position of box body 30 can match the position of cutter 21. Through the up and down movement of cutter 21, excess foam edge material on the lower outer periphery of box body 30 can be removed through cutting groove 211, which can shape box body 30 so that box body 30 has a flat and beautiful appearance. The overall structure is simple and the trimming is convenient.
[0052] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
