Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral pad manufacturing technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic cleaning device for the production and processing of oral pads for digestive endoscopy. Background Technology
[0002] Ultrasonic cleaning devices play a crucial role in the production and processing of endoscope mouth pads, primarily in the following aspects: 1) High-efficiency cleaning and thorough disinfection: Ultrasonic cleaning utilizes the cavitation effect generated by high-frequency vibrations to penetrate deep into the tiny crevices and blind holes of endoscope mouth pads, effectively removing residual stains, grease, bacteria, and other contaminants. This cleaning method is more thorough than traditional manual scrubbing, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination and ensuring that product hygiene standards meet medical requirements. For instruments like mouth pads that come into direct contact with the patient's mouth, ultrasonic cleaning also reduces the amount of chemical disinfectants used, avoiding potential harm to patients from chemical residues. 2) Protecting material integrity: Ultrasonic cleaning eliminates the need for physical friction or strong corrosive cleaning agents, preventing surface damage or deformation of mouth pad materials such as silicone caused by mechanical scrubbing, thus extending product lifespan. Especially for mouth pads with complex structures (such as vents, clips, etc.), ultrasonic cleaning can evenly act on all surfaces, avoiding incomplete cleaning or structural damage in certain areas. 3) Improving production efficiency and automation: Ultrasonic cleaning equipment can be integrated into the production line to achieve automated batch cleaning, reducing manual intervention and lowering labor intensity and time costs.
[0003] The existing ultrasonic cleaning equipment for the production and processing of endoscope mouth pads has shortcomings. Firstly, it cannot automatically suspend and transport the endoscope mouth pads within the ultrasonic cleaning tank, nor can it perform vertical reciprocating movement during transport. Secondly, it cannot automatically unload the cleaned endoscope mouth pads. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize and improve the existing ultrasonic cleaning equipment for the production and processing of endoscope mouth pads. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems in the traditional technology and provide an ultrasonic cleaning device for the production and processing of digestive endoscope mouth pads.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: An ultrasonic cleaning device for the production and processing of digestive endoscope mouth pads includes an ultrasonic cleaning tank, a suspension conveying component, and a material unloading component. The suspension conveying component is installed above the ultrasonic cleaning tank for feeding digestive endoscope mouth pads one by one into the tank for cleaning. The material unloading component is installed near the outlet position of the suspension conveying component in the ultrasonic cleaning tank. The suspended conveyor assembly includes a circulating conveyor belt, on which several rectangular sleeves are equidistantly embedded. A suspension column is slidably restricted within each rectangular sleeve. Limiting end plates and limiting rings are respectively installed on both sides of the suspension column. A rectangular spring is sleeved on the outer side of the column between the rectangular sleeve and the limiting ring. Two struts are movably supported near the outer end of the suspension column. The two struts are kept horizontal by torsion springs sleeved on the hinge shaft. The two horizontal struts together provide bottom support for the endoscope opening pad sleeved on the outer side of the suspension column.
[0006] Furthermore, in the ultrasonic cleaning device for the production and processing of digestive endoscope mouth pads described above, the digestive endoscope mouth pad is composed of a mouth pad tube, a mouth pad cover, and hooks. The mouth pad cover is provided at the front end of the mouth pad tube, and hooks are symmetrically provided on both sides of the mouth pad cover. The mouth pad tube is generally rectangular and its specifications are larger than those of the hanging column.
[0007] Furthermore, in the ultrasonic cleaning device for the production and processing of digestive endoscope mouth pads described above, the ultrasonic cleaning tank includes a tank body with an open top, an inlet pipe installed near the top of the front side plate of the tank body, an outlet pipe installed near the bottom of the rear side plate of the tank body, a corrugated plate for controlling the height of the suspension column supported by a vertical rod on the bottom surface of the tank body, and a transducer and an ultrasonic generator installed in the tank body.
[0008] Furthermore, in the ultrasonic cleaning device for the production and processing of digestive endoscope mouth pads described above, the distance between the outer ends of the two horizontally positioned support rods is 0.5 to 1 cm greater than the maximum side length of the mouth pad tube.
[0009] Furthermore, in the ultrasonic cleaning device for the production and processing of digestive endoscope mouth pads described above, the unloading assembly includes a horizontally oriented strip box. The strip box is fixed to the outside of the tank by a bracket. A lead screw motor is fixed to the outside of the strip box. A lead screw extending into the strip box is installed at the output end of the lead screw motor. A T-shaped sliding plate that can slide along the inner cavity of the strip box is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw. A drive push rod is fixed to the outer end of the T-shaped sliding plate. Two parallel levers are supported by a push plate at the movable end of the drive push rod.
[0010] Furthermore, in the ultrasonic cleaning device for the production and processing of digestive endoscope mouth pads, the distance between the two levers is greater than the side length of the suspension column. When the two levers move horizontally along the length of the suspension column in a horizontal state, the digestive endoscope mouth pad on the suspension column can be forcibly detached from the support rod.
[0011] Furthermore, in the ultrasonic cleaning device for the production and processing of digestive endoscope mouth pads, when the two support rods are squeezed by the digestive endoscope mouth pad, the outer ends of the support rods can approach each other. When the digestive endoscope mouth pad is forcibly dislodged, the two support rods return to their original positions under the action of the torsion spring.
[0012] Furthermore, in the ultrasonic cleaning device for the production and processing of digestive endoscope mouth pads described above, a sliding plate is installed on the outside of the ultrasonic cleaning tank to facilitate the sliding of the digestive endoscope mouth pads into the next process.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model device is rationally designed and mainly consists of an ultrasonic cleaning tank, a suspension conveyor assembly, and a stripping assembly. The suspension conveyor assembly comprises a circulating conveyor belt, a rectangular sleeve, a suspension column, a limiting end plate, a limiting ring, a rectangular spring, a torsion spring, and support rods. The torsion springs sleeved on the hinge shaft keep the two support rods in a horizontal state. The two horizontal support rods provide bottom support for the endoscope pads sleeved on the outside of the suspension column. When the circulating conveyor belt moves, it can carry the endoscope pads one by one into the ultrasonic cleaning tank for cleaning. By adding a corrugated plate in the ultrasonic cleaning tank that contacts the bottom of the suspension column, the endoscope pads can reciprocate vertically during the horizontal displacement process, further improving the cleaning effect. After cleaning, the stripping assembly can automatically detach the endoscope pads from the suspension column, which is conducive to the automated production of endoscope pads.

The suspension conveying component 2 is installed above the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 for feeding digestive endoscope mouth pads 4 one by one into it for cleaning. The material unloading component 3 is installed in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 near the outlet position of the suspension conveying component 2.
[0019] In this embodiment, the suspended conveyor assembly 2 includes a circulating conveyor belt 201. A plurality of rectangular sleeves 202 are equidistantly embedded in the belt body of the circulating conveyor belt 201. A suspension column 203 is slidably restricted within each rectangular sleeve 202. Limiting end plates 204 and limiting rings 205 are respectively installed on both sides of the suspension column 203 located between the rectangular sleeve 202 and the limiting rings 205. A rectangular spring 206 is sleeved on the outer side of the suspension column 203 between its rectangular sleeve 202 and the limiting rings 205. Two support rods 208 are movably supported near the outer end of the suspension column 203. The two support rods 208 are kept horizontal by torsion springs 207 sleeved on the hinge shaft. The two horizontally positioned support rods 208 together provide bottom support for the digestive endoscope orifice pad 4 sleeved on the outer side of the suspension column 203.
[0020] In this embodiment, the digestive endoscope mouth pad 4 is composed of a mouth pad tube 401, a mouth pad cover 402 and a hook 403. The mouth pad tube 401 is provided with a mouth pad cover 402 at its front end, and hooks 403 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the mouth pad cover 402. The mouth pad tube 401 is generally rectangular and its specifications are larger than those of the suspension column 203.
[0021] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 includes a tank body 101 with an open top. An inlet pipe 102 is installed on the front side plate of the tank body 101 near the top, and an outlet pipe 103 is installed on the rear side plate of the tank body 101 near the bottom. A wave plate 105 for controlling the height of the suspension column 203 is supported on the bottom surface of the tank body 101 by a vertical rod 104. A transducer and an ultrasonic generator are installed in the tank body 101.
[0022] In this embodiment, the distance between the outer ends of the two horizontal support rods 208 is 0.5 to 1 cm greater than the maximum side length of the mouthpiece tube 401.
[0023] In this embodiment, the unloading assembly 3 includes a horizontally oriented strip box 301. The strip box 301 is fixed to the outside of the trough 101 by a bracket. A lead screw motor 302 is fixed to the outside of the strip box 301. A lead screw 303 extending into the strip box 301 is installed at the output end of the lead screw motor 302. A T-shaped sliding plate 304 that can slide along the inner cavity of the strip box 301 is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 303. A drive push rod 305 is fixed to the outer end of the T-shaped sliding plate 304. Two parallel levers 307 are supported by a push plate 306 at the movable end of the drive push rod 305.
