Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an endoscope disinfection device, specifically to an endoscope tubing disinfection connector and an endoscope disinfector. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, people are paying more and more attention to health checkups. Therefore, how medical institutions ensure the safety of facilities related to health checkups is of paramount importance, especially regarding the increasingly stringent requirements for disinfection products, in order to better safeguard people's health and well-being.

[0003] The internal tubing connector is an important component of the endoscope sterilizer, connecting the endoscope to various joints within the sterilizer, including the internal circulation pump and leak detection pump. Therefore, the internal tubing connector is crucial for the cleaning and sterilization process of the endoscope.

[0004] Traditional internal pipe connectors have only one connecting pipe, allowing only one endoscope to be connected at a time. To improve cleaning or leak detection efficiency, a tee or multi-way connector is attached after the connecting pipe. This can increase cleaning or leak detection efficiency several times over, but the following shortcomings still exist:

[0005] 1. The connection pipe is divided into multiple sections, and the pressure in each channel is different and unstable, making it difficult to monitor and potentially affecting the cleaning and leak detection results.

[0006] 2. The cleaning connection pipe and the leak detection connection pipe are set up separately, which is inconvenient to operate. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems and provide an endoscope tube disinfection connector. This endoscope tube disinfection connector, by setting multiple independent connection channels, can not only monitor the pressure of each channel individually to ensure the cleaning and leak detection effect, but also integrate cleaning and leak detection together for easy operation.

[0008] Another objective of this invention is to provide an endoscope sterilizer.

[0009] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0010] An endoscope tube sterilization connector includes a connector body, a connecting joint, and a pressure sensor;

[0011] The connector body has at least two connection channels;

[0012] The connecting joint includes a first connecting joint and a second connecting joint, and there are at least two of each of the first and second connecting joints. The first connecting joint and the second connecting joint are respectively connected to the two ends of the corresponding connecting channel.

[0013] The number of pressure sensors is the same as the number of connection channels, and the pressure sensors are connected to the connection channels.

[0014] The working principle of the above-mentioned endoscope tube sterilization connector is as follows:

[0015] During the circulating cleaning process, the internal circulation pump of the cleaning machine is connected to the first connecting joint via a pipeline, and the endoscope tubing is connected to the second connecting joint via another pipeline. The internal circulation pump delivers cleaning fluid to the endoscope tubing, thereby flushing the inner cavity of the endoscope tubing. Throughout this process, a pressure sensor monitors the pressure within the connecting channels in real time, allowing for timely adjustments as needed to ensure effective cleaning.

[0016] Similarly, during leak detection, the air pump is connected to the connecting channel via a pipe, and the endoscope tube is connected to the second connecting joint via another pipe. The air pump inflates the endoscope tube to perform the leak detection. Simultaneously, a pressure sensor monitors the pressure within the connecting channel to ensure the effectiveness of the leak detection.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the side of the connector body is provided with a plurality of mounting holes that are respectively connected to a plurality of connection channels, and the detection end of the pressure sensor extends into the mounting holes.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one end of the first connector is connected to a first end cap, and the first end cap is fixedly connected to one end of the connector body.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one end of the second connector is connected to the second end cap, and the second end cap is fixedly connected to the other end of the connector body.

[0020] Furthermore, the second end cap is fixedly connected to the other end of the connector body via a quick-release structure. This quick-release structure includes a threaded connecting collar and a threaded connecting seat. The threaded connecting seat is integrally formed with the connector body, and the threaded connecting collar mates with the threaded connecting seat. The second end cap is fixedly disposed inside the threaded connecting collar. With this structure, after cleaning and disinfection, the threaded connecting collar can be rotated to disassemble the second end cap from the connector body, facilitating transport, cleaning, connection, or removal of the endoscope.

[0021] An endoscope sterilizer includes the endoscope tubing sterilization connector.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0023] 1. The endoscope tube disinfection connector of this utility model has multiple independent connection channels, which can monitor the pressure of each channel individually to ensure the cleaning and leak detection effect.

[0024] 2. Multiple independent connection channels, some of which can be used for cleaning operations and others for leak detection, that is, cleaning and leak detection are integrated into one, which is convenient for operation. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the implementation of this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0030] See Figure 1-4 The endoscope sterilizer of this embodiment includes an endoscope tubing sterilization connector, which includes a connector body 1, a connecting joint, and a pressure sensor 2. The connector body 1 has at least two connecting channels 1-1. The connecting joint includes a first connecting joint 3 and a second connecting joint 4, and there are at least two of each of the first connecting joint 3 and the second connecting joint 4. The first connecting joint 3 and the second connecting joint 4 are respectively connected to the two ends of the corresponding connecting channel 1-1. The number of pressure sensors 2 is the same as the number of connecting channels 1-1, and the pressure sensors 2 are connected to the connecting channels 1-1.

[0031] See Figure 1-4 The connector body 1 has a plurality of mounting holes 1-2 on its side that are respectively connected to a plurality of connection channels 1-1, and the detection end of the pressure sensor 2 extends into the mounting holes 1-2.

[0032] Specifically, in one application scenario, an air pump is connected to one of the mounting holes 1-2 via a pipe to deliver air to the connecting channel 1-1. This pipe is equipped with a pressure sensor (not directly installed at mounting hole 1-2) for detecting air pressure. In practice, because the leak detection pipeline is relatively small, a dedicated small pipe can be used to connect to mounting hole 1-2 for independent leak detection. Alternatively, a standardized connection method can be used, allowing for flexible adjustments as needed.

[0033] See Figure 1-4 One end of the first connector 3 is connected to the first end cap 5, which is fixedly connected to one end of the connector body 1.

[0034] See Figure 1-4 One end of the second connector 4 is connected to the second end cap 6, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the connector body 1.

[0035] Furthermore, the second end cap 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connector body 1 via a quick-release structure. This quick-release structure includes a threaded connecting collar 7 and a threaded connecting seat. The threaded connecting seat is integrally formed with the connector body 1, and the threaded connecting collar 7 mates with the threaded connecting seat. The second end cap 6 is fixedly disposed inside the threaded connecting collar 7. With this structure, after cleaning and disinfection, the threaded connecting collar 7 can be rotated to disassemble the second end cap 6 from the connector body 1, facilitating transport, cleaning, connection, or removal of the endoscope.

[0036] See Figure 1-4 The working principle of the endoscope tube sterilization connector in this embodiment is as follows:

[0037] During the circulating cleaning process, the internal circulation pump of the cleaning machine is connected to the first connecting joint 3 via a pipeline, and the endoscope tubing is connected to the second connecting joint 4 via another pipeline. The internal circulation pump delivers cleaning fluid to the endoscope tubing, thereby flushing the inner cavity of the endoscope tubing. During this process, the pressure in the connecting channel 1-1 is monitored in real time by the pressure sensor 2, so that it can be adjusted in a timely manner when necessary to ensure the cleaning effect.

[0038] Similarly, during leak testing, the air pump is connected to the connecting channel 1-1 via a pipe, and the endoscope tube is connected to the second connecting joint 4 via another pipe. The air pump inflates the endoscope tube to perform the leak testing. At the same time, the pressure sensor 2 detects the pressure within the connecting channel 1-1 to ensure the effectiveness of the leak testing.

[0039] The above are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above content. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
