Detailed Implementation

[0027] The following drawings will disclose several embodiments of this utility model. For clarity, many physical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these physical details should not be used to limit this utility model. That is, in some embodiments of this utility model, these physical details are not essential. In addition, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in the drawings in a simple schematic manner.

[0028] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" is for descriptive purposes only and does not specifically refer to any order or sequence, nor is it intended to limit the utility model. They are merely used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only if they are feasible for those skilled in the art. If a combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0029] This embodiment provides an endoscope cleaning device that effectively cleans endoscopes without requiring manual operation. It can clean endoscopes from multiple angles, improving the cleaning effect. During the cleaning process, the endoscope can also be rotated and adjusted to further enhance the cleaning effect. Compared with manual operation, it is more efficient and will not damage the endoscope.

[0030] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the endoscope cleaning device of this embodiment includes a support 10, a cleaning section 20 and a lifting section 30. A conveyor line 11 is provided on the support 10 and is arranged along the length of the support 10 to transport the endoscope. When the endoscope is transported to the cleaning section 20, the lifting section 30 lifts the endoscope and the cleaning section 20 performs the cleaning operation on the endoscope.

[0031] In this embodiment, there are two sets of cleaning units 20. One set of cleaning units 20 uses cleaning fluid, and the other set of cleaning units 20 uses clean water. The cleaning fluid is used first to clean the endoscope, and the clean water is used second to clean the endoscope. The cleaning effect of the endoscope is improved by cleaning it twice.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a partition curtain 40 is provided inside the bracket 10 to separate the two sets of cleaning sections 20, so that the two sets of cleaning sections 20 can operate independently and without affecting each other. In addition, a liquid storage box 50 is provided at the bottom of the bracket 10 to store the liquid. The liquid after the cleaning section 20 is used will fall directly into the liquid storage box 50 to avoid causing external contamination.

[0033] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning unit 20 of this embodiment includes a liquid supply tank 21 and a plurality of nozzles 22. The liquid supply tank 21 supplies liquid to the nozzles 22. The nozzles 22 are installed in the bracket 10 to clean the endoscope. In this embodiment, there are multiple nozzles 22, which are distributed on the side of the endoscope and the openings of the nozzles 22 face the endoscope. When the endoscope reaches the position of the cleaning unit 20, the liquid supply tank 21 supplies liquid to the nozzles 22, and the nozzles 22 spray out the liquid to clean the endoscope. The nozzles 22 distributed on the side of the endoscope can clean the endoscope from multiple directions, effectively improving the cleaning effect of the endoscope.

[0034] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting part 30 is installed inside the bracket 10 and corresponds to the position of the cleaning part 20. The lifting part 30 includes a lifting cylinder 31 and a receiving block 32. The lifting cylinder 31 lifts the receiving block 32, and the receiving block 32 receives the endoscope. When the endoscope moves to the position of the cleaning part 20 under the action of the conveyor line 11, the lifting cylinder 31 of the lifting part 30 lifts the receiving block 32, and the receiving block 32 receives the endoscope, thereby positioning the endoscope so that the endoscope can be cleaned in the future.

[0035] In this embodiment, the receiving block 32 is provided with a V-shaped groove 321, and the endoscope is located in the V-shaped groove 321. The V-shaped groove 321 positions and places the endoscope. The bottom of the V-shaped groove 321 is provided with a liquid outlet hole 322, which is evenly distributed along the length of the receiving block 32. During the cleaning process of the endoscope, the liquid will be discharged from the liquid outlet hole 322 to avoid residue on the receiving block 32.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a rotating roller 60 is provided in the V-groove 321, and a drive motor 70 is provided at one end of the receiving block 32 to drive the rotating roller 60. In this embodiment, the rotating roller 60 is a friction roller. The rotating roller 60 is driven by the drive motor 70. During the rotation of the rotating roller 60, the endoscope located in the V-groove 321 will rotate, changing the cleaning position of the endoscope. Therefore, the endoscope can be cleaned more thoroughly, and the cleaning effect of the endoscope can be improved.

[0037] In actual use, the endoscope cleaning device of this embodiment transports the endoscope to the cleaning section 20 via the conveyor line 11. The lifting section 30 lifts the endoscope, and after lifting, the cleaning section 20 starts to clean the endoscope. During the cleaning process, the endoscope rotates under the action of the rotating roller 60, thereby changing the cleaning position of the endoscope and achieving a more comprehensive cleaning of the endoscope, thus improving the cleaning effect of the endoscope.
