[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device transport vehicle technology, specifically a rotary endoscope transport vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Endoscope transport carts are specifically designed for transporting clean or contaminated endoscopes. They typically have trays for holding the endoscopes. When used in medical settings, these carts usually use stickers or labels to distinguish between clean and contaminated endoscope transport carts. However, over time, these stickers or labels may become loose, peel off, or the lettering may wear off, making it difficult to differentiate between clean and contaminated endoscope transport carts. This can lead to clean endoscopes being mistakenly placed into contaminated endoscope transport carts, resulting in contamination and posing an infection risk to patients.
[0003] In addition, both the tray and the tray cover are made of a smooth polymer material. The better the seal when the two are bonded together, the better it is for transporting endoscopes. However, when the tray cover is opened, due to the influence of atmospheric pressure, the tray is easily lifted up at the moment of opening, making it difficult to open the cover. Therefore, in order to facilitate the observation of the endoscope in the tray and make the tray easier to open, this rotary endoscope transport cart was designed. Utility Model Content
