Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning brush manufacturing technology, and in particular to a brush bristle cleaning device suitable for conical cleaning brushes. Background Technology
[0002] The tapered cleaning brush features tapered bristles designed to fit the structure of endoscopic tubing, effectively reaching the inner walls and bottom of the tubing to remove blood, tissue debris, and other residues. For example, the forceps and suction channels of flexible endoscopes (such as gastroscopes and colonoscopes) require a "brush head visible at both ends" operating standard to ensure the brush head passes completely through both ends of the tubing, preventing residue buildup. The density and length of the tapered bristles are optimized to cover large areas while applying even pressure to narrow areas, avoiding over- or under-cleaning. Typically, chemically resistant PBT bristles and stainless steel or POM handles are used. Disposable tapered brushes reduce the risk of cross-contamination, while reusable brushes must strictly adhere to a "one-use, one-disinfection" policy.
[0003] In the production process of conical cleaning brushes, the bristle cleaning device removes processing residues (such as grease and metal shavings) from the surface of the bristles using a water gun to prevent contamination of the endoscope tubing. Existing bristle cleaning devices for conical cleaning brushes have shortcomings in use: they cannot adjust the position of the water gun nozzle during cleaning, nor can they rotate the conical cleaning brush during the cleaning process, resulting in less than ideal bristle cleaning results.
[0004] Therefore, existing brush cleaning devices suitable for conical cleaning brushes need to be optimized and improved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned problems in traditional technologies and provide a brush cleaning device suitable for conical cleaning brushes.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: A brush cleaning device suitable for conical cleaning brushes includes a cleaning tank, a cleaning component and a drive tilting component are installed on the upper part of the cleaning tank, and a driven support component is installed on the lower part of the cleaning tank. The cleaning assembly includes a drive motor, a rotating shaft, a reciprocating screw section, a movable block, a nozzle, a water supply pipe, and a water supply box. The drive motor is installed on the outside of the cleaning box, and the output end of the drive motor is connected to the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is provided with movable support by the two side plates of the cleaning box. The rotating shaft is provided with two reciprocating screw sections, and a movable block is sleeved on the outside of the reciprocating screw section. A nozzle is embedded in the bottom end of the movable block. The tail end of the nozzle is connected to the pump body built into the water supply box via the water supply pipe. The water supply box is installed on the outer wall of the top plate of the cleaning box, and the top plate of the cleaning box has a strip hole to facilitate the avoidance of the water supply pipe. The drive flipping component and the driven support component together clamp the conveying conical cleaning brush, and use the difference in their conveying speeds to drive the conical cleaning brush to flip around its own axis during displacement.
[0007] Furthermore, the above-mentioned brush cleaning device for a conical cleaning brush includes a brush handle, a brush rod, a wire rod, and a conical brush. The brush rod is symmetrically installed at both ends of the brush handle, and a wire rod is inserted into the outer end of the brush rod. The conical brush is installed on the wire rod.
[0008] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned brush cleaning device applicable to conical cleaning brushes, the bristle length of one of the conical brushes gradually increases from the inside out, while the bristle length of the other conical brush gradually decreases from the inside out.
[0009] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned brush cleaning device suitable for conical cleaning brushes, a drain pipe is installed on the side of the cleaning tank near the bottom, and an electrically controlled valve is installed on the drain pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned brush cleaning device applicable to conical cleaning brushes, the length of the reciprocating screw section is greater than the length of the corresponding conical brush.
[0011] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned brush cleaning device applicable to conical cleaning brushes, the drive flipping assembly includes a support plate, upper support rollers, an upper clamping conveyor belt, and a drive gear. The drive gear is fixed on the outside of the rotating shaft, the support plate is fixed on the inner wall of the top plate of the cleaning tank, and several upper support rollers are movably supported on the support plate. An upper clamping conveyor belt is sleeved on the outside of the upper support rollers, and the outer side of the upper clamping conveyor belt is provided with tooth grooves that cooperate with the drive gear.
[0012] Furthermore, in the aforementioned brush cleaning device applicable to conical cleaning brushes, the driven support assembly includes a support base, sliders, locking screws, lower support rollers, and a lower clamping conveyor belt. The upper end of the support base is provided with a horizontal groove, in which two sliders are slidably limited. Each slider is an L-shaped plate composed of a horizontal plate and a vertical plate. The horizontal plate of the L-shaped plate is equipped with a locking screw for locking its position in the horizontal groove. Several lower support rollers are movably supported on the vertical plate of the L-shaped plate. A lower clamping conveyor belt is sleeved on the outer side of the lower support rollers. The cross-section of the lower clamping conveyor belt is provided with a limiting groove that mates with the end of the brush handle in the conical cleaning brush.
[0013] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned brush cleaning device applicable to conical cleaning brushes, the cross-section of the horizontal slide groove is a dovetail shape that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. The shape of the horizontal plate portion of the L-shaped plate matches the horizontal slide groove. The horizontal plate portion of the L-shaped plate has a threaded hole along its thickness direction that matches the locking screw.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model has a reasonable structural design, mainly consisting of a cleaning tank, a drive motor, a rotating shaft, a reciprocating lead screw section, a movable block, a nozzle, a water supply pipe, a water supply box, a support plate, an upper support roller, an upper clamping conveyor belt, a drive gear, a support base, a slider, a locking screw, a lower support roller, a lower clamping conveyor belt, and a drain pipe. The drive motor, rotating shaft, reciprocating lead screw section, movable block, nozzle, water supply pipe, and water supply box together constitute the cleaning assembly. The support plate, upper support roller, upper clamping conveyor belt, and drive gear together constitute the drive and tilting assembly. The support base, slider, locking screw, lower support roller, and lower clamping conveyor belt together constitute the driven support assembly. During the cleaning process, the cleaning assembly can adjust the position of the nozzle, causing it to reciprocate horizontally. Simultaneously, the upper clamping conveyor belt in the drive and tilting assembly and the lower clamping conveyor belt in the driven support assembly jointly clamp and convey the conical cleaning brush. The speed difference between the two drives the conical cleaning brush to rotate around its own axis during displacement, ensuring the effective cleaning of the brush bristles.
