Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning device technology, specifically an automatic cleaning device for aspiration tubes used under endoscopy. Background Technology
[0002] The abortion suction tube used under endoscopy is a medical device that integrates endoscopic imaging and suction functions. It usually consists of a disposable camera suction tube and an endoscopy imaging workstation. Its front end has a built-in ultra-miniature high-resolution camera and adopts a single tube dual-lumen design, which can simultaneously realize image transmission and aspiration of gestational sac tissue. This suction tube can provide precise operation under direct vision during surgery, avoid the risks of traditional blind curettage, and reduce complications such as intrauterine adhesions and uterine perforation.
[0003] During the procedure, the suction tube for abortion comes into contact with contaminants such as the patient's blood, bodily fluids, and tissue fragments. If these residues are not removed in time, they can become breeding grounds for pathogenic microorganisms, increasing the risk of postoperative infection for the patient. Cleaning can remove dirt from the surface and inside of the suction tube, providing a good foundation for subsequent disinfection and sterilization, and ensuring that the instrument is in a sterile state when used again. The automatic suction tube cleaning device used under endoscopy is a device used to clean the suction tube during endoscopic surgery, and it usually has automatic identification and cleaning functions.
[0004] During the cleaning process of curved suction tubes, some residue often adheres to the inner wall of the tube. Due to the curvature of the inner wall, the cleaning work becomes more complicated and difficult. If these residues adhering to the curved inner wall are not completely removed, the cleanliness of the suction tube cannot be adequately guaranteed. Such incomplete cleaning may lead to the growth of microorganisms and the accumulation of residues, thereby increasing the risk of cross-infection when the suction tube is reused, seriously affecting the health and safety of patients. Therefore, to address the above problems, an automatic cleaning device for abortion suction tubes used under endoscopy is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0029] 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.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0031] An automatic cleaning device for aspiration tube used under endoscopy includes a cleaning and protective box 1, a collection box 2, and a liquid storage box 3. A drive assembly 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning and protective box 1, and a cleaning assembly 6 is installed inside the drive assembly 4. The drive assembly 4 includes a horizontal plate 41, and a servo motor 46 is fixedly connected to the inside of the horizontal plate 41. A first gear 47 is fixedly connected to the end of the main shaft of the servo motor 46. The outer side of the first gear 47 meshes with the outer side of a second gear 48. An installation hole 49 is opened on the inner side of the horizontal plate 41. The cleaning assembly 6 includes an extension tube 61, a spiral blade 62 is fixedly connected to the inside of the extension tube 61, a partition 63 is fixedly connected to the inside of the spiral blade 62, an inner hole steel bar 64 is fixedly connected to the top of the extension tube 61, a liquid outlet hole 65 is opened on the inner side of the inner hole steel bar 64, and a silicone scraper 66 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the inner hole steel bar 64. The inner side of the second gear 48 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the extension tube 61, and the outer side of the extension tube 61 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the installation hole 49 through a bearing.
[0032] As a further implementation of this solution, a collection box 2 and a liquid storage box 3 are placed on the right end of the cleaning and protection box 1. The suction tube body 5 is sleeved on the outside of the cleaning component 6. The front and rear ends of the horizontal plate 41 are fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning and protection box 1. Through the above settings, a stable structure is formed to ensure the overall stability of the device and facilitate the smooth operation and cleaning process. The liquid storage box 3 can store disinfectant cleaning agent, and the collection box 2 can collect the mixed liquid after cleaning.
[0033] As a further implementation of this solution, a vertical plate 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate 41, a hydraulic rod 43 is fixedly connected to one side of the vertical plate 42, a metal arc plate 44 is fixedly connected to one side of the hydraulic rod 43, and a silicone arc plate 45 is fixedly connected to one side of the metal arc plate 44. Both the metal arc plate 44 and the silicone arc plate 45 are arc-shaped. The front and rear ends of the suction tube body 5 are in close contact with the silicone arc plate 45. The number of metal arc plates 44 and silicone arc plates 45 is the same. Through the above arrangement, the suction tube body 5 can be fixed to prevent the suction tube body 5 from twisting or detaching from the silicone arc plate 45 during cleaning.
[0034] As a further implementation of this solution, the mounting hole 49 penetrates the upper end of the horizontal plate 41, and the inner hole steel strip 64 is embedded in the inner side of the mounting hole 49. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting hole 49. The sealing ring inside the mounting hole 49 fits against the outer side of the inner hole steel strip 64. The inner hole steel strip 64 extends out of the upper end of the mounting hole 49. Through the above settings, liquid leakage during the cleaning process is effectively prevented, and the safety of the servo motor 46 is improved. The extension design of the inner hole steel strip 64 allows the suction tube body 5 to be inserted into the outer side of the inner hole steel strip 64 and the silicone scraper 66.
[0035] As a further implementation of this solution, the extension tube 61 extends inside the liquid storage tank 3. The number of liquid storage tanks 3 is the same as the number of extension tubes 61. Both the extension tube 61 and the inner side of the inner steel strip 64 are hollow structures. The outer side of the silicone scraper 66 is attached to the inner side of the suction tube body 5. Liquid outlet holes 65 are opened at both the front and rear ends of the inner steel strip 64. The liquid outlet holes 65 are connected to the inner side of the inner steel strip 64. Through the above settings, it is ensured that the cleaning liquid can be evenly distributed to the inner wall of the suction tube, improving cleaning efficiency and effect, while reducing material usage and lowering costs. It can effectively scrape and rinse the residue on the inner wall of the suction tube, further improving the thoroughness of cleaning and reducing the risk of microbial growth.
[0036] Workflow: When cleaning the inner wall of a curved suction tube, the suction tube body 5 is fitted over the inner steel strip 64 and the silicone scraper 66. During the fitting process, the inner steel strip 64 and the silicone scraper 66 will undergo some deformation. The inner steel strip 64 is made of 304 stainless steel, and the silicone scraper 66 is made of silicone. The inner steel strip 64 and the silicone scraper 66 will bend to a certain extent according to the curvature of the suction tube body 5. The suction tube body 5 is then placed on the upper end of the horizontal plate 41. The suction tube body 5 is fixed in place. Two hydraulic rods 43 corresponding to the suction tube body 5 move the metal arc plate 44 and the silicone arc plate 45 simultaneously. The silicone arc plate 45 is made of silicone. When the suction tube body 5 is positioned between the two metal arc plates 44, and the two silicone arc plates 45 are in close contact with the suction tube body 5, the suction tube body 5 is thus fixed. The silicone arc plates 45 increase the friction between the suction tube body 5 and the silicone arc plate 45, preventing the suction tube body 5 from twisting during cleaning. The servo motor 46 is activated, driving the first gear 47 to rotate. The first gear 47 then drives the second gear 48 to rotate, which in turn drives the entire cleaning assembly 6 to rotate. As the extension cylinder 61, spiral blade 62, and partition column 63 rotate, the rotation of the spiral blade 62 draws out the disinfectant cleaning agent inside the storage tank 3, delivering it into the inner steel bar 64. The agent is then sprayed into the suction tube body 5 through the outlet hole 65. As the outlet hole 65 rotates, it scrapes away any residue inside the suction tube body 5. The delivered disinfectant cleaning agent cleans the inner wall of the suction tube body 5, and the cleaned mixed liquid flows out through the existing port at the top of the suction tube body 5. The flowing mixed liquid falls into the collection tank 2 for collection. Based on the above-described principle, the device can effectively clean the residue on the inner wall of the curved suction tube body 5. The device can deform accordingly with the curvature of the suction tube body 5, improving the cleaning effect and avoiding risks during reuse.
[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
