Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of medical device cleaning tools, specifically relating to a double-brush head suction tube cleaning brush. Background Technology

[0002] Current suction tube cleaning methods face numerous challenges. Suction tubes vary greatly in size, ranging from 1 to 5 mm in diameter, and have varying degrees of curvature, making traditional cleaning brushes difficult to adapt to. Ordinary brushes cannot reach deep into the lumen of thin or highly curved suction tubes, resulting in incomplete cleaning and a failure rate of 6-8%. Traditional brushes are made of hard material, easily scratching the inner wall of the suction tube, reducing its average lifespan by approximately 30%. The thicker sections at the tube joints are difficult to clean, becoming potential breeding grounds for bacteria. Furthermore, existing cleaning brushes for suction tubes are single-head designs, unable to handle both large and small lumens simultaneously, and require separate rinsing after manual brushing, making the suction tube cleaning process cumbersome and inefficient.

[0003] Therefore, how to design a dual-brush head suction tube cleaning brush that can clean both the coarse and fine cavities of the suction tube while also rinsing it has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-brush-head suction tube cleaning brush to solve the aforementioned technical problems in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0024] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0025] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0026] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a dual-brush head suction tube cleaning brush, which includes a cleaning component and a rinsing component. The cleaning component includes a brush handle 11, a first brush head 12, and a second brush head 13. The first brush head 12 is disposed on the left end of the brush handle, and the second brush head 13 is disposed on the right end of the brush handle 11. The diameter of the first brush head 12 is larger than the diameter of the second brush head 13. The rinsing component includes a water storage bladder 21, a first water supply capillary tube 22, and a second water supply capillary tube 23. The brush handle 11 passes through the water storage bladder 21. The first water supply capillary tube 22 is disposed on the left end of the water storage bladder 21 and close to the left section of the brush handle 11. The water outlet at the left end of the first water supply capillary tube 22 is disposed close to the first brush head 12. The second water supply capillary tube 23 is disposed on the right end of the water storage bladder 21 and close to the right section of the brush handle 11. The water outlet at the right end of the second water supply capillary tube 23 is close to the second brush head 13.

[0028] The dual-brush head suction tube cleaning brush provided in this embodiment of the invention cleans the larger cavity (the joint between the suction tube and the device) using the first brush head 12, and the smaller cavity (the interior of the suction tube) using the second brush head 13. Simultaneously, by squeezing the water reservoir 21, water or pre-mixed cleaning agent stored in the reservoir is sprayed onto the first brush head through the first water supply capillary tube 22, and onto the second brush head through the second water supply capillary tube 23, rinsing the tube and improving the cleaning effect. Therefore, this invention not only cleans both the larger and smaller cavities of the suction tube, but also rinses them, providing a simultaneous brushing and rinsing function.

[0029] Specifically, both the first water supply capillary tube 22 and the second water supply capillary tube 23 are flexible hoses, and the brush handle 11 is a brush rod made of flexible material. This design ensures that the brush handle 11 has good flexibility, adapting to various complex bending shapes of the suction tube, facilitating the user to deliver the two brush heads to the cleaning position and providing stable support for the cleaning work. Simultaneously, because the first and second water supply capillary tubes 22 and 23 also have good flexibility, the smoothness of liquid transmission is ensured, and the entire cleaning brush does not affect liquid delivery when bent, guaranteeing the normal operation of the rinsing function.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, the diameter of the first brush head 12 is 2-8 mm, and the diameter of the second brush head 13 is 1-5 mm; the diameters of the first water supply capillary tube 22 and the second water supply capillary tube 23 are both 1-1.2 mm; preferably, the gap between the first water supply capillary tube 22 and the left section of the brush handle 11 is 0.4-0.6 mm, and the gap between the second water supply capillary tube 23 and the right section of the brush handle 11 is 0.4-0.6 mm.

[0031] Specifically, a slot 24 for the brush handle to pass through is provided on one side of the water storage bladder 21. The slot 24 has a V-shaped structure, and its tip is used to engage with the brush handle. The tip of the slot 24 is located near the connection between the first water supply capillary tube 22 and the water storage bladder 21, and the connection between the second water supply capillary tube 23 and the water storage bladder 21. With this design, during installation, the brush handle 11 is inserted into the tip of the slot 24, resulting in an interference fit between the brush handle 11 and the tip of the slot 24, thus connecting the brush handle 11 and the water storage bladder 21. During disassembly, both the brush handle 11 and the water storage bladder 21 are held in place, and the hand holding the brush handle 11 pulls outwards while slightly shaking it to disengage the brush handle 11 from the slot 24, thus completing the disassembly. This makes the installation and disassembly of the brush handle 11 and the water storage bladder 21 quite convenient. In other embodiments, a receiving hole for clamping the brush handle may be provided at the tip. When the brush handle passes the tip, it will be enclosed and clamped in the receiving hole, thus preventing the brush handle from easily detaching from the slot in the water reservoir. The first and second brush heads can be detachably connected to the brush handle to facilitate replacement with new brush heads after damage. It is understood that the water reservoir is elastic.

[0032] Compared to traditional cleaning brushes, the flexible suction tube cleaning brush with dual brush heads that allows for simultaneous brushing and washing provides the following advantages:

[0033] Targeted Cleaning Design: Traditional cleaning brushes have uniform brush heads, making it difficult to address the cleaning needs of different parts of the suction tube. This invention features a dual-brush head design. The second brush head is fine, with a diameter of 1-5 mm, allowing it to reach deep into the narrow interior of the suction tube for effective cleaning. The first brush head is coarse, with a diameter of 2-8 mm, providing comprehensive cleaning of the coarser area where the suction tube connects to the device. By rotating the brush handle 11, different brush heads can be switched, achieving precise and efficient cleaning of different parts of the suction tube, thus solving the problem of incomplete cleaning with traditional brushes.

[0034] Integrated Washing and Rinsing Function: Traditional cleaning brushes lack the ability to rinse and brush simultaneously, requiring separate rinsing after manual brushing, which is cumbersome and inefficient. This new cleaning brush features a built-in water reservoir and two connected 1mm diameter capillary tubes for water supply. When in use, pressing the water reservoir 21 sprays liquid through the capillary tubes onto the two brush heads, which then flow out, rinsing while cleaning. This combined operation significantly improves cleaning efficiency, saves time, and avoids the incomplete cleaning that can result from separate operations.

[0035] Adaptability to complex pipes: Traditional cleaning brushes are usually made of hard material and have difficulty adapting to the shape of curved suction tubes. They cannot fit tightly against the tube wall during cleaning and are prone to leaving cleaning dead corners. However, the cleaning brush handle 11 and the two water supply capillaries of this utility model are made of soft and flexible material. The gap between them is small and the overall thickness is moderate. When it goes deep into the suction tube, it can bend flexibly according to the curvature of the tube. This ensures that the two brush heads can always fit against the tube wall no matter how complicated the tube is, achieving all-round cleaning without dead corners and significantly improving the cleaning effect.

[0036] Cost control and wide applicability: From a cost perspective, the cleaning brush of this utility model has a low cost, and the cost of consumable replacement is about 30% lower than that of electric brushes, reducing the cost of use while ensuring cleaning quality. In terms of applicability, it is not only suitable for cleaning ENT suction tubes, but also has a good cleaning effect on various suction tube lumens such as gynecological abortion tubes. Compared with traditional cleaning brushes with single functions, its application range is greatly broadened, which can meet the diverse needs of different departments.

[0037] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
