[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic endoscope cleaning box, comprising: a box body 1, with a snap-fit top cover 2 on the top of the box body 1, which not only enables quick assembly and disassembly to improve operational efficiency but also ensures a certain degree of sealing. A clamping assembly for holding the endoscope is provided at the bottom of the top cover 2 to ensure the stability of the endoscope during cleaning inside the box body 1. In the clamping state, the clamping assembly holds the endoscope at the center of the bottom end of the top cover 2. Simultaneously, two sets of electric brush cylinders 3 for cleaning the endoscope are provided inside the box body 1. The two sets of electric brush cylinders 3 are respectively located at both ends of the inner wall of the box body 1. When the endoscope is securely clamped, it is located in the middle position of the two sets of brush cylinders 3, thus allowing the two sets of electric brush cylinders 3 to thoroughly clean the endoscope during cleaning.
[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, a base 4 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1. Two sets of motors 5 are installed inside the base 4. The base 4 not only supports the stability of the entire box body 1, but the two sets of motors 5 also drive the rotation of two sets of electric brush cylinders 3. The brush cylinders 3 are rotatably connected to the motors 5 via brush cylinder shafts 6. One end (i.e., the top) of the brush cylinder 3 is detachably installed from the top cover 2 to facilitate removal of the top cover 2. The bottom of the top cover 2 has two rotating slots 7, which are snap-fitted to one end of each brush cylinder 3. When the top cover 2 is closed with the box body 1, the two rotating slots 7 limit the movement of the two brush cylinder shafts 6 to ensure the stability of the two brush cylinders 3 during rotation. Furthermore, ball bearings can be installed in the two rotating slots 7, allowing the two brush cylinder shafts 6 to be rotatably mounted to the ball bearings.
[0023] When the top cover is closed, as Figure 1 As shown, two pressing blocks 17 are provided at both ends of the top of the upper cover 2. Each pressing block 17 has an L-shaped connecting rod 18 at its bottom, and a locking block 19 is provided at one end of the L-shaped connecting rod 18. A slot 20 is provided on the inner wall of the box body 1 to engage with the locking block 19. The upper cover 2 is fixed in place by the engagement of the locking block 19 with the slot 20. Both pressing blocks 17 are elastically connected to the interior of the upper cover 2 via springs 21. Figure 3 As shown, the upper cover 2 has sliding grooves 22 at both ends inside, and the two pressing blocks 17 slide in the two sliding grooves 22 respectively. When the upper cover 2 needs to be removed, the two pressing blocks 17 are pressed at the same time, which causes the two locking blocks 19 to disengage from the locking slots 20, thus achieving a quick disassembly and assembly effect.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a knob 8 is provided on the top of the upper cover 2. The knob 8 is rotatably mounted in a groove 9 opened on the top of the upper cover 2. The knob 8 is used to drive the clamping effect of the clamping component. Specifically, two hemispherical limiting grooves 23 are respectively opened at both ends of the knob 8. Two hemispherical limiting posts 24 are provided in the groove 9 to cooperate with the two hemispherical limiting grooves 23. In use, when the knob 8 is rotated to the two hemispherical limiting posts 24, the clamping component achieves the clamping effect. Since the two hemispherical limiting grooves 23 and the two hemispherical limiting posts 24 are engaged with each other, a self-locking effect is achieved to ensure the clamping state. Similarly, when the knob 8 is rotated in the opposite direction, a relaxation effect is achieved.
[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the clamping assembly includes a rotary rod 10 connected to the bottom of the knob 8. An elongated lever 11 is connected to the rotary rod 10. Two sets of swing arms 12 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the elongated lever 11. One end of each swing arm 12 is connected to a clamping block 13, which slides within two moving slots 14. A first rotating shaft 15 is located in the middle of the swing arm 12, and a second rotating shaft 16 is located at the connection between the swing arm 12 and the clamping block 13. During operation, when the knob 8 is rotated, the rotary rod 10 rotates synchronously with the knob 8, and the elongated lever 11 also rotates synchronously. When this pushes against the swing arms 12 at both ends, the swing arms 12 rotate around the first rotating shaft 15, causing them to swing. This causes the clamping blocks 13 connected to the levers 12 to slide under the force of the swing arms 12, thus achieving the clamping function. The second rotating shaft 16 provides the sliding basis for the clamping blocks 13. When the knob 8 is turned in the opposite direction, the long lever 11 is finally disengaged from the pressure of the swing arms 12 on both sides, thereby causing the two clamping blocks 13 to lose their clamping force, so that the endoscope can be removed after cleaning.
[0026] In summary, this utility model provides an automatic endoscope cleaning box, which offers an efficient and convenient cleaning solution for small endoscopes by incorporating an electric brush cylinder 3 inside the box body 1. The automated operation process not only ensures a thorough cleaning of the endoscope but also significantly improves work efficiency and effectively reduces manual labor intensity. Furthermore, the device features a unique quick-release and quick-installation top cover 2 design, allowing it to flexibly adapt to various usage scenarios and truly realize convenient endoscope cleaning anytime, anywhere. This innovative design not only improves cleaning efficiency but also provides a more intelligent solution for the daily maintenance of medical equipment.
