Effective rinsing can remove dirt from the endoscope's surface and tubing, reducing corrosion and damage, and extending its lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical objective of this invention is to provide a disposable endoscope flushing strip and assembly to solve the technical problem of inconvenient endoscope flushing.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A disposable endoscopic irrigation strip, comprising: The main body of the pipeline has an inlet end and a flushing end at its two ends. The inlet end is configured to receive flushing water into the pipeline body, and the flushing end is a threaded port connected to the external endoscope sleeve and is configured to flush the endoscope sleeve with the received flushing water. The main body of the pipeline is equipped with a planting machine adapter section, which is connected to an external planting machine and is configured to inject flushing water into the flushing end by controlling the planting machine to squeeze the planting machine adapter section.
[0006] The threaded port includes a connecting assembly, which includes a connector and a connecting pipe that are connected together. Both the connector and the connecting pipe are sleeved on the outside of the pipe body, with the connector closer to the end of the pipe body than the connecting pipe. The connector has a groove, and a through hole is provided at the bottom of the groove. The main body of the pipeline extends out of the connector after passing through the connecting pipe and the through hole. The inner wall of the groove has a threaded structure that mates with the endoscope sleeve.
[0007] The inlet end uses a puncture device.
[0008] The planting machine adapter section has greater flexibility compared to the adjacent main pipe body.
[0009] More preferably, the pipeline body is also provided with a flow regulator, which is configured to regulate the flow rate of flushing water in the pipeline body.
[0010] More preferably, the main body of the pipeline is also provided with an exhaust port, which is located near the water inlet end and is configured to discharge the air inside the main body of the pipeline.
[0011] An endoscope irrigation assembly includes the aforementioned disposable endoscope irrigation strip, implantation machine, and endoscope cannula; The main body of the pipeline is connected to the planting machine adapter section and is configured to control the planting machine to squeeze the planting machine adapter section, so as to pour the flushing water in the endoscope flushing strip into its flushing end.

[0017] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the specific implementation methods of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.
[0018] To keep the drawings concise, only the parts relevant to this invention are shown schematically in each figure, and they do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some figures, only one of the components with the same structure or function is schematically depicted, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one."
[0019] The present invention provides a disposable endoscopic irrigation strip and its components, which are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description and claims.
[0020] Example See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a disposable endoscopic flushing strip and assembly. Specifically, the assembly can be disassembled into a disposable endoscopic flushing strip, an implantation machine, and an endoscope cannula. The implantation machine adapter section 4 of the tubing body 1 is connected to the implantation machine, meaning that part of the tubing body 1 is fixed inside the implantation machine. By controlling the implantation machine to squeeze the implantation machine adapter section 4, an inward squeezing force is provided to the tubing body 1, thereby injecting flushing water from the endoscopic flushing strip into the flushing end 12 of the tubing body 1. Further, the endoscope cannula is connected to the flushing end 12 (flushing water outlet) of the tubing body 1, thereby guiding the flushing water in the tubing body 1 to be delivered to the endoscope cannula to achieve flushing.
[0021] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The endoscopic irrigation strip mentioned above will now be described in detail. Its main body is the tubing body 1, and the two ends of the tubing body 1 are the water inlet end 11 and the irrigation end 12, respectively.
[0022] The inlet 11 receives flushing water into the main body of the pipeline 1. Specifically, the inlet 11 uses a piercing device, which is inserted into the flushing water to receive flushing water.
[0023] The other end, the flushing end 12, uses a threaded port and connects to the external endoscope cannula for delivering the received flushing water into the endoscope cannula for flushing. Specifically, the threaded port can be considered as a connecting assembly, which includes a connecting head and a connecting tube, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the connector is located above the connecting tube, meaning the connector is closer to the end of the tubing body 1 than the connecting tube. Furthermore, it can be observed that both the connecting tube and the connector are fitted onto the outside of the tubing body 1. The connector has a groove, and a through hole is formed at the bottom of the groove. The tubing body 1 extends out of the connector after passing through the connecting tube (cavity) and the through hole. Further, a threaded structure is provided on the inner wall of the groove to mate with the endoscope tube sleeve.
[0024] Furthermore, as mentioned above, in this embodiment, a section of the main body 1 is selected as the implantation machine adapter section 4, which is connected to the implantation machine. Specifically, the implantation machine includes a housing, a foot pedal, and a turntable. The housing has a receiving groove extending downwards from the top, and the turntable is vertically positioned within the receiving groove. The implantation machine adapter section 4 is inserted into the lower part of the turntable. One end of the foot pedal is connected to the turntable via a transmission mechanism, and the other end of the foot pedal extends out of the receiving groove. The user simply needs to step down on the foot pedal, which transmits force to the turntable, causing it to rotate and compress the implantation machine adapter section 4, thereby injecting the flushing water from the endoscope flushing strip into its flushing end 12. To facilitate the compression of the implantation machine adapter section 4, the implantation machine adapter section 4 has better flexibility than other parts of the pipeline, effectively preventing pipe breakage or deformation due to excessive rigidity and ensuring overall stability.
[0025] More preferably, the main body of the pipeline 1 is also provided with a flow regulator 3, which is located on the pipeline between the planting machine adapter section 4 and the water inlet 11, and is used to regulate the flow rate of the flushing water in the main body of the pipeline 1.
[0026] More preferably, the main body of the pipeline 1 is also provided with an exhaust port 2, which is located near the water inlet end 11, and is used to discharge the air inside the main body of the pipeline 1 to prevent the air inside the pipeline from obstructing the flow of flushing fluid.
[0027] In summary, existing endoscopic surgeries involve manual water injection. With the improvements made in this embodiment, the water injection function of existing equipment can be used to achieve automatic water injection control, reducing manpower and enabling precise water control.
[0028] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Even if various changes are made to the present invention, if these changes fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, they shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
