[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a tubular medical device cleaning and disinfection device; including a base 1, a plurality of cleaning components on the top of the base 1, a support 2 on the side of the base 1, a cylinder 3 fixedly connected to the crossbar of the support 2 on the upper surface of the base 1, and a placement tray 4 on the surface of the cylinder 3 for placing tubular instruments; a limiting groove 21 is formed on the circumference of the placement tray 4, and a fastening block 22 is provided on the inner side wall of the limiting groove 21, and a spring 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the fastening block 22 that extends into the interior of the placement tray 4.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, an annular cover is provided on the surface of the cylinder 3 above the placement tray 4. The purpose of this design is to protect the placement tray 4 when it is raised, reducing the chance of it falling off. A protective layer is provided on the inner wall of the limiting groove 21 to increase the protection of the tubular instrument. When the tubular instrument is placed inside the limiting groove 21, the fastening block 22 is pressed and positioned by the force of the spring 23, reducing the shaking during cleaning.

[0023] An annular groove (shown in the figure, not labeled) is provided on the upper surface of the base 1. A sewage chamber is provided inside the base 1. The inner bottom wall of the annular groove is provided with a filter layer and is connected to the sewage chamber. The sewage after cleaning flows into the interior of the annular groove, is filtered by the filter layer, and then enters the interior of the sewage chamber for storage. A drain pipe (shown in the figure, not labeled) is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base 1. A valve (shown in the figure, not labeled) is provided on the surface of the drain pipe. When the sewage chamber stores an appropriate amount of sewage, the sewage can be discharged by opening the valve.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, starting the drive block 24 (powered by a motor) can drive the screw 25 to rotate. Since the placement disk 4 is connected to the surface of the screw 25 by a connecting rod thread, the placement disk 4 can be adjusted to move up and down.

[0026] The cleaning component includes an outer cylinder 5 rotatably connected to the top of the base 1, an inner cylinder 6 that is inserted into the outer cylinder 5 and can be raised and lowered, and a threaded cylinder 7 located at the bottom of the inner cylinder 6. A gear 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of one end of the outer cylinder 5 that extends into the base 1. A gear 9 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the threaded cylinder 7 inside the base 1. An upper gear ring 10 and a lower gear ring 11 are provided inside the base 1 and mesh with the gear 8 and the gear 9. A drive component is provided on the side wall of the base 1 to drive the upper gear ring 10 and the lower gear ring 11 to rotate.

An adjusting rod 17 is threadedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, and the bottom end of the adjusting rod 17 is inserted into the inside of the slider 14.

[0028] like Figure 2-3 As shown, when the adjusting rod 17 is rotated so that the toothed rod 16 is engaged with the teeth on the lower surface of the upper toothed ring 10, the starting motor 15 drives the toothed rod 16 to rotate, and the upper toothed ring 10 drives the toothed ring 8 to rotate, thereby driving the outer cylinder 5 and the inner cylinder 6 to rotate, thus cleaning the inner wall of the tubular instrument. When the toothed rod 16 is engaged with the teeth on the surface of the lower toothed ring 11, the lower toothed ring 11 drives the toothed ring 9 to rotate. Since the toothed ring 9 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded cylinder 7, the inner cylinder 6 is driven to move up and down inside the outer cylinder 5 through the threaded cylinder 7, which facilitates the adjustment of the length of the cleaning equipment according to the usage requirements.

[0029] The base 1 has a water storage chamber 12 inside, and a water pumping assembly is provided inside the water storage chamber 12 and is connected to the bottom end of the threaded cylinder 7.

The outer walls of the outer cylinder 5 and the inner cylinder 6 are provided with cleaning strips for cleaning tubular instruments. The outer wall of the outer cylinder 5 has a groove that is used in conjunction with the cleaning strips.

[0030] A water inlet is provided on the upper surface of the base 1, which can store an appropriate amount of disinfectant in the water storage chamber 12. When the water pump 18 is started, the disinfectant in the water storage chamber 12 can pass through the connecting pipe 19, the drain chamber and the cavity in sequence, and be discharged from the water outlet. When the outer cylinder 5 and the inner cylinder 6 rotate, the sprayed disinfectant assists in cleaning, making it convenient to clean tubular instruments.

[0031] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can control it.

[0032] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0033] In use, the annular cover is lifted, and the tubular instrument is placed inside the limiting groove 21. Then, according to the length of the pipe, the height of the inner cylinder 6 is adjusted by the drive component. Then, the drive block 24 is activated, so that the tubular instrument is fastened to the surface of the outer cylinder 5. Next, the adjusting rod 17 is rotated so that the toothed rod 16 engages with the toothed groove 13 on the lower surface of the upper toothed ring 10, driving the outer cylinder 5 and the inner cylinder 6 to rotate. At the same time, the water pumping component is activated, so that disinfectant water is sprayed out from the water outlet, so that the inner wall of the tubular instrument is cleaned while rotating. The cleaned wastewater flows into the interior of the annular groove, is filtered by the filter layer, and enters the interior of the wastewater chamber for storage.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
