Detailed Implementation

[0030] The following is a detailed description of a fixing device for cleaning da Vinci medical devices provided by this utility model, with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are listed as best and preferred embodiments; other alternative methods may be used by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a fixing device for cleaning da Vinci medical devices, including: a base 1, and a moving component 2, a lifting component 3, and a cleaning component 4 mounted on the base 1; the lifting component 3 includes a positioning plate 301, a support frame 302 fixedly mounted on the top of the positioning plate 301, a motor 303 providing driving force fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame 302, a drive wheel 304 fixedly mounted at the end of the output shaft of the motor 303, a transmission belt 305 meshing with the outer wall of the drive wheel 304, a positioning frame 306 fixedly mounted on the top of the positioning plate 301, a driven wheel 307 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the positioning frame 306, the side of the transmission belt 305 away from the drive wheel 304 meshing with the driven wheel 307, a lead screw 308 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the driven wheel 307, a moving ring 309 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 308, and a support plate 310 fixedly mounted on the side of the moving ring 309 away from the lead screw 308.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the moving component 2 includes a second motor 201 installed on the inner wall of the base 1. A second lead screw 202 is fixedly mounted at the end of the output shaft of the second motor 201. A through hole 203 is opened on the top of the base 1. A moving frame 204 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the second lead screw 202. The top of the moving frame 204 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 301. The second motor 201 drives the second lead screw 202 to rotate. The rotation of the second lead screw 202 drives the moving frame 204 to move laterally, thereby driving the support plate 310 to move. This improves the convenience of lateral movement of the device and makes it easier to insert the cleaning tube into the water inlet tube of the da Vinci medical device.

[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the cleaning assembly 4 includes a water tank 401 mounted on top of the positioning plate 301. A water pump 402 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the water tank 401. A cleaning pipe 403 is fixedly connected to the outlet end of the water pump 402, and the cleaning pipe 403 passes through the support plate 310. A fixing ring 404 is fixedly mounted on the end of the cleaning pipe 403 away from the water tank 401. A positioning shaft 405 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the support plate 310. A retaining ring 406 and a retaining ring 407 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the positioning shaft 405. A connecting groove 408 is opened on the outer wall of the retaining ring 406. A fixing bolt 409 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the retaining ring 407, and the fixing bolt 409 passes through the retaining ring 407 and the connecting groove 408. 08. Threaded connection: By moving the first retaining ring 406 and the second retaining ring 407, pull the two retaining rings towards the position of the cleaning tube 403. Then, place the fixing ring 404 on the outer wall of the cleaning tube 403 between the first retaining ring 406 and the second retaining ring 407. Then, use the fixing bolt 409 to thread the first retaining ring 406 and the second retaining ring 407 together to fix the cleaning tube 403. At this time, insert the cleaning tube 403 into the water inlet pipe of the da Vinci medical device. Then, the water pump 402 guides the cleaning water in the water tank 401 into the cleaning tube 403, and finally into the water inlet pipe of the da Vinci medical device, thus enabling the da Vinci medical device to be cleaned.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a limiting groove 311 is provided on the top of the base 1. A limiting rod 312 is fixedly assembled on the inner wall of the limiting groove 311. A limiting block 313 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod 312. The top of the limiting block 313 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 301. By setting the limiting groove 311, the limiting rod 312 and the limiting block 313, it is beneficial to improve the stability of the positioning plate 301 when it moves.

The side of the folded cloth 205 away from the through hole 203 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 204. By setting the folded cloth 205, the sealing effect at the through hole 203 is improved, thereby preventing external dust and impurities from falling onto the lead screw 202 and affecting the service life of the lead screw 202.

[0037] like Figure 2As shown, an observation port 410 is provided on the outer wall of the water tank 401, and an observation window 411 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the observation port 410. By setting the observation port 410 and the observation window 411, it is convenient for the staff to observe the water content in the water tank 401 through the observation window 411, so as to replenish the cleaning water in the water tank 401 in a timely manner.

[0038] The technical solution provided by this utility model, during operation, drives the second screw 202 to rotate via the second motor 201, thereby causing the moving frame 204 and the positioning plate 301 to move laterally. Then, the first motor 303 drives the driving wheel 304 to rotate, and the rotation of the driving wheel 304 drives the transmission belt 305 and the driven wheel 307 to rotate, thereby driving the first screw 308 to rotate. The rotation of the first screw 308 drives the moving ring 309 to move longitudinally, and the longitudinal movement of the moving ring 309 drives the support plate 310 and the cleaning tube 403 to move longitudinally. This facilitates the adjustment of the position of the support plate 310 and the cleaning tube 403 according to the position of the da Vinci medical device, and allows the cleaning tube 403 to be inserted into the water inlet pipe of the da Vinci medical device.

[0039] By moving the first retaining ring 406 and the second retaining ring 407, the two retaining rings are pulled towards the position of the cleaning tube 403. Then, the fixing ring 404 on the outer wall of the cleaning tube 403 is placed between the first retaining ring 406 and the second retaining ring 407. Then, the first retaining ring 406 and the second retaining ring 407 are threaded together using the fixing bolt 409. The cleaning tube 403 is fixed by the first retaining ring 406 and the second retaining ring 407. At this time, the cleaning tube 403 is inserted into the water inlet pipe of the da Vinci medical device. Then, the cleaning water in the water tank 401 is introduced into the cleaning tube 403 by the water pump 402, and finally enters the water inlet pipe of the da Vinci medical device, thus realizing the cleaning of the da Vinci medical device.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
