Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of endoscope storage cabinets, specifically an endoscope three-dimensional disinfection and storage cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] An endoscope is a precision medical device integrating optics, mechanics, and electronics. It is primarily used for the visual examination, diagnosis, and treatment of human cavities. After use, endoscopes need to be cleaned and disinfected to maintain hygiene. A convenient method is to place them inside a sterilization storage cabinet. Here, technologies such as ultraviolet light, ozone, HEPA filtration, and hot air drying ensure that the endoscope remains sterile during storage, preventing secondary contamination and extending its lifespan. Currently, when disinfecting endoscopes using a disinfection storage cabinet, the endoscope needs to be vertically suspended inside the cabinet, and small components such as the cleaning button and pipe opening valve should be placed in their corresponding positions. During disinfection, the suspension structure can be rotated to perform the disinfection. However, during the rotation, the endoscope and various components may be thrown apart by centrifugal force, resulting in incomplete disinfection of each component. This necessitates re-disinfection, reducing efficiency. Therefore, to address these issues, a three-dimensional disinfection storage cabinet for endoscopes is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0013] The advantages of this utility model are: This invention places the endoscope and tubing inside two inner grooves. The two sliders then fit together to confine the endoscope and tubing within the grooves. After placing the tray containing the various structures of the endoscope on top of the support plate, the second limiting plate automatically confines the tray. Then, the drive motor rotates the suspension rod, causing the endoscope, tubing, and the tray containing the small structures to rotate stably, preventing them from being thrown away by centrifugal force. This ensures that the endoscope can be stably stored and sterilized. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-6 This application will be described in further detail. This application discloses a three-dimensional sterilization and storage cabinet for endoscopes. (Refer to...) Figure 1 An endoscope three-dimensional sterilization and storage cabinet includes: The cabinet 1 has a hot air structure 2 fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the cabinet 1. The cabinet 1 is rotatably connected to a suspension rod 3. The top wall of the cabinet 1 is fixedly connected to a motor. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the top of the suspension rod 3, which can drive the motor to rotate the suspension rod 3, thereby disinfecting the endoscope structure that is vertically suspended on the surface of the suspension rod 3. There are two limiting components 4, which are respectively disposed in the middle and top of the surface of the suspension rod 3; Lifting component 5 is disposed on the surface at the bottom of suspension rod 3; Reference Figures 2-4The limiting component 4 includes a limiting plate 411 fixedly mounted on the surface of the suspension rod 3. An inner groove 42 is formed on the surface of the limiting plate 411, and the inner groove 42 is also formed inside the limiting plate 411. A hollow plate 431 is fixedly mounted inside the inner groove 42 near the suspension rod 3. A sliding plate 432 is slidably connected inside the hollow plate 431. A protruding plate 433 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding plate 432 near the outside of the hollow plate 431. The end of the sliding plate 432 away from the hollow plate 431 extends through the inner groove 42 into the interior of the locking slot 412. The protruding plate 433 extends to the outside of the hollow plate 431. A push rod 441 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the protruding plate 433 away from the sliding plate 432. A gear 442 is rotatably connected to the top wall of the inner groove 42. A hollow plate 451 is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting plate 411 near the outside of the inner groove 42. The inner side of the hollow plate 451 slides... A slider 452 is connected, and an electromagnet 453 is fixedly connected inside the slider 452. There are two hollow plates 451. The electromagnets 453 inside the two hollow plates 451 have opposite magnetic poles at their close ends. When the two sliders 452 approach each other, they are attracted to each other by the two electromagnets 453. At this time, the two sliders 452 confine the endoscope and the tube inside the slot 412. A push rod 454 is fixedly connected to the end of the slider 452 near the outside of the inner slot 42. A rack 455 is fixedly connected to the end of the slider 452 near the gear 442. The end of the push rod 441 away from the convex plate 433 is rotatably connected to the non-center of the bottom of the gear 442. The gear 442 and the rack 455 are meshed. When the sliding plate 432 moves, it pulls the push rod 441 to move. At this time, the push rod 441 can pull the gear 442 to rotate, and the rotating gear 442 drives the meshing rack 455 to move.
[0019] Reference Figures 5-6The lifting assembly 5 includes a fixing plate 51 fixedly mounted on the surface of the suspension rod 3. The surface of the fixing plate 51 has a locking hole 52. A bearing plate 53 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate 51. A sliding groove 54 is formed inside the bearing plate 53. A fixing rod 551 is fixedly connected inside the sliding groove 54. A limiting plate 552 is slidably connected to the surface of the fixing rod 551. There are four sets of bearing plates 53 circumferentially distributed at the top of the fixing plate 51. The sliding grooves 54 are circumferentially distributed inside the bearing plates 53. The limiting plates 552 inside the multiple sliding grooves 54 limit the tray holding the endoscope structure. A vertical rod 561 is slidably connected inside the center of the bearing plate 53. A top plate 562 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical rod 561. A return spring 563 is wound around the surface of the vertical rod 561. The top plate 562 is located above the top of the bearing plate 53. The top of the 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the top plate 562, and the bottom of the return spring 563 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support plate 53. After the tray holding the endoscope structure is placed on the top of the top plate 562, the top plate 562 is pressed down by gravity and the return spring 563 is pressed down. The bottom of the vertical rod 561 is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 571. The inside of the telescopic rod 571 is fixedly connected to the buffer spring 572. The end of the telescopic rod 571 away from the vertical rod 561 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 552. The telescopic rod 571 is composed of two solid rods and one hollow rod. The two solid rods are slidably connected to the inside of the two sides of the hollow rod. The two solid rods are fixedly connected to each other by the buffer spring 572. After the vertical rod 561 moves down, it will push the telescopic rod 571 to rotate. At this time, the telescopic rod 571 pulls the limiting plate 552 to move towards the center of the support plate 53.
[0020] Working principle: The operator places the endoscope in the slot 412 of the upper limiting plate 411 and the tubing in the slot 412 of the lower limiting plate 411. Simultaneously, the operator pushes the endoscope and tubing towards the suspension rod 3, causing the sliding plate 432 to move into the hollow plate 431. The sliding plate 432 then moves the convex plate 433, which gradually moves away from the gear 442. This causes the convex plate 433 to pull the rotatably connected push rod 441, causing it to bend inside the inner groove 42. Rod 441 pulls the rotating gear 442 to rotate, and gear 442 drives the meshing rack 455 to move towards the center of the inner groove 42. At this time, rack 455 drives the fixedly connected slider 452 to slide inside the hollow plate 451. The two sliders 452 will approach each other. When the two sliders 452 come into contact with each other, the electromagnets 453 inside the two sliders 452 will also attract each other. At this time, the two sliders 452 will attract each other together, and the two sliders 452 will confine the endoscope and the tube inside the inner groove 42.
[0021] Next, the smaller components of the endoscope, such as the cleaning button and the pipe opening valve, are placed on the tray. The tray is then placed on top of the support plate 53. Under the influence of gravity, the tray presses down on the top plate 562. The top plate 562 compresses the return spring 563 and pushes the vertical rod 561 downward. As the vertical rod 561 moves downward, it pulls the telescopic rod 571 to rotate. When the telescopic rod 571 rotates, it pulls the limiting plate 552 to move from the surface of the fixed rod 551 toward the center of the support plate 53. At this time, the tray is stably limited by the multiple circumferentially distributed limiting plates 552.
[0022] Afterwards, the operator can disinfect the endoscope structure vertically suspended on the surface of the suspension rod 3 using the hot air structure 2 or various disinfection devices. At the same time, the motor can be driven to rotate the suspension rod 3, which will cause the various structures vertically suspended on the surface to rotate. Due to the limitation of the two sliders 452 and multiple limiting plates 552, the centrifugal force generated when the suspension rod 3 rotates will prevent the various structures of the endoscope from being thrown away, thus allowing the various structures of the endoscope to be stably disinfected and stored.
[0023] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
