[0029] The terms “include,” “comprising,” or any other variation thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, which includes not only the elements listed but also other elements not expressly listed.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the endoscope cleaning foam box with a sealed structure proposed in this utility model includes a box body 1, a cleaning hole 2 on the box body 1, the cleaning hole 2 communicating with the interior of the box body 1, the interior of the box body 1 containing cleaning fluid, and a detachable sealing component 5 inside the cleaning hole 2. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sealing assembly 5 includes a hollow tube 1 51 and a hollow tube 2 52, which are coaxially connected. The diameter of the hollow tube 1 51 is larger than that of the hollow tube 2 52. The hollow tube 2 52 cooperates with the cleaning hole 2 and can be inserted into the cleaning hole 2 and communicate with the inside of the box body 1. The endoscope lens can be inserted into the inside of the box body 1 through the hollow tube 1 51 and the hollow tube 2. At least one of the hollow tube 1 51 and the hollow tube 2 52 has a sealing ring 53 on its inner wall. The sealing assembly 5 can improve the sealing between the endoscope body and the cleaning hole 2 and prevent the cleaning fluid from leaking during the cleaning process.

[0031] For example, the cleaning hole 2 is provided on the top front side of the box body 1.

[0032] In one example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the box body 1 is provided with a connection hole 8, and several connection holes 8 are evenly distributed on the bottom of the box body 1. The outer walls on both sides of the box body 1 are provided with slots 9. The connection holes 8 and the slots 9 cooperate to connect the box body 1 to the cleaning equipment so as to cooperate with the cleaning equipment to clean the endoscope lens.

[0033] In one example, combining Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The upper end of the hollow tube 51 is provided with a mounting groove 54, and a reinforcing ring 6 is installed in the mounting groove 54. The reinforcing ring 6 can be fitted onto the endoscope body. When the endoscope lens enters the box 1, the reinforcing ring 6 is accommodated in the mounting groove 54.

[0034] In one example, the box body 1 has a slot 7, which is connected to the cleaning hole 2 and the two are coaxial. The hollow tube 51 is fixedly inserted into the slot 7. The staff can separate the hollow tube 51 and the box body 1, and then recycle the sealing component 5 and the box body 1 separately.

[0035] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the reinforcing ring 6 includes two semi-circular plates 61 that can be joined together. The outer walls of the two semi-circular plates 61 are provided with a first thread, and the inner wall of the mounting groove 54 is provided with a second thread. The first thread and the second thread cooperate to make the two semi-circular plates 61 threadedly connected to the mounting groove 54.

[0036] When cleaning the endoscope lens, first, place the two semi-circular plates 61 onto the endoscope body, then align the endoscope lens with hollow tube one 51 and hollow tube two 52 and insert it into the box 1. When the box 1 is filled with cleaning solution, the endoscope lens can be thoroughly cleaned by soaking in the disinfectant. At this time, the two semi-circular plates 61 are at least partially engaged in the mounting groove 54. The two semi-circular plates 61 can fix the endoscope body and prevent the endoscope lens from becoming loose during the cleaning process, which would affect the cleaning effect. At the same time, the sealing ring 53 inside the hollow tube two 52 contacts the outer wall of the endoscope lens to provide a seal and prevent the cleaning solution from leaking out during the cleaning process.

[0037] In one example, combining Figure 1 and Figure 2 An arc-shaped groove 3 is provided on the rear side of the top of the box 1. A cleaning wipe 4 is attached to the arc-shaped groove 3. After the endoscope lens is cleaned, the staff can take the endoscope lens out of the box 1 and wipe it on the cleaning wipe 4 to avoid cleaning fluid residue.

[0038] In one example, combining Figures 3 to 5 Both semicircular plates 61 have sealing strips 62 fixedly installed on their inner walls. The sealing strips 62 are used to contact the endoscope body to improve the sealing and firmness of the connection between the semicircular plates 61 and the endoscope body.

[0039] For example, one half-circular plate 61 has a positioning block 63 protruding from both free ends, and the other half-circular plate 61 has a positioning groove 64 that cooperates with the positioning block 63 on both free ends. The positioning block 63 is inserted into the positioning groove 64. With the help of the positioning block 63, the workers can quickly splice the two half-circular plates 61 together to improve installation efficiency.

[0040] For example, there are two sealing strips 62, which are distributed vertically on the inner wall of the semi-circular plate 61 to ensure sealing.

[0041] By providing two sealing strips 62 on the inner walls of the two semi-circular plates 61, when the two semi-circular plates 61 are spliced ​​together and fitted onto the outer wall of the endoscope body, the sealing strips 62 contact the surface of the endoscope body to achieve a sealing effect, preventing the cleaning fluid from leaking from the gap between the endoscope body and the semi-circular plates 61. At the same time, the sealing strips 62 can also increase the friction between the semi-circular plates 61 and the endoscope body, thereby improving the stability of the endoscope lens cleaning process.

[0042] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
