Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0027] The terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof used in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or terminal device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or terminal device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or terminal device that includes said element.

[0028] The following detailed description of a medical device cleaning apparatus provided in this application is illustrated with specific embodiments.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this application provides a medical device cleaning device, including: a cleaning cloth 2 and two mounting plates 1; the two mounting plates 1 are arranged side by side and rotatably connected on the side of the two mounting plates 1 that are close to each other; a cleaning cloth 2 is installed on each mounting plate 1, and when the two mounting plates 1 are rotated to a folded position, at least a portion of the cleaning cloth 2 on the two mounting plates 1 is in contact with each other.

[0030] In this embodiment, the cleaning cloth 2 can be a scouring pad commonly used for cleaning medical instruments. This type of scouring pad differs from ordinary household scouring pads. Scouring pads for medical instruments typically have higher quality standards and performance requirements. For example, scouring pads can be made of materials such as nylon or polyester fibers, which have good abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, and chemical stability. They are resistant to the effects of various cleaning agents and disinfectants and are less prone to fiber shedding during the cleaning process, thus avoiding secondary contamination of medical instruments. At the same time, the surface of the scouring pad may have different textures or raised patterns to increase the friction between the scouring pad and the instrument being cleaned, enabling more effective removal of dirt and stains from the surface of the medical instrument.

[0031] Mounting plate 1 is made of a material with good mechanical support properties, such as plastic plate or alloy plate. Mounting plate 1 also needs to have good corrosion resistance and chemical stability to avoid corrosion caused by cleaning agents and disinfectants. There are two mounting plates 1, arranged side-by-side, with their adjacent sides rotatably connected. The two mounting plates 1 can be rectangular plates, and the adjacent sides can be either the long or short side of the two mounting plates. They can also be square, elliptical, etc., as long as the adjacent sides allow for rotatable connection. In some embodiments, the adjacent sides of the two mounting plates 1 can be hinged.

[0032] Each mounting plate 1 is equipped with a cleaning cloth 2. When the two mounting plates 1 are rotated to a folded position, at least a portion of the cleaning cloths 2 on the two mounting plates 1 come into contact with each other, meaning that the projections of the cleaning cloths 2 on the two mounting plates 1 in a direction perpendicular to the mounting plates 1 at least partially overlap. For example, Figures 1 to 3 The diagram shows a cleaning device comprising two mounting plates 1 rotatably connected, which can be rotated to a folded or unfolded position. Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing the two mounting plates 1 in an unfolded position is shown. Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing the two mounting plates 1 in a semi-folded position is shown. Figure 3 A schematic diagram is shown with two mounting plates 1 in a folded position. When the two mounting plates 1 are rotated to the folded position, at least a portion of the cleaning cloths 2 on the two mounting plates 1 are in contact with each other. When cleaning tubing such as drainage tubes and sutures, the tubing can be placed between the two layers of cleaning cloths 2. Then, by pulling the tubing or the mounting plates 1, relative movement is generated between the instrument and the mounting plates 1, so that the cleaning cloths 2 on the mounting plates 1 can clean the medical instruments.

[0033] In some embodiments, when the two mounting plates 1 are rotated to a folded position, all parts of the cleaning cloths 2 on the two mounting plates 1 are in contact with each other, meaning that the projections of the cleaning cloths 2 on the two mounting plates 1 in the direction perpendicular to the mounting plates 1 completely overlap, thereby maximizing the cleaning area formed between the two cleaning cloths 2, which helps to clean a larger number of pipeline appliances at the same time.

[0034] When cleaning tubing devices using the medical device cleaning apparatus of this application embodiment, multiple devices can be covered with the entire cleaning cloth 2, thereby cleaning multiple tubing devices at once, effectively improving the cleaning efficiency of tubing devices. At the same time, the cleaning cloth 2 on the mounting plate 1 can provide a certain support for the tubing devices. During the process of pulling out the devices or the mounting plate 1, the cleaning cloth 2 can clean all surfaces of the devices by rotating the devices or the mounting plate 1, effectively improving the cleaning effect, helping to achieve thorough cleaning of the devices, avoiding the residue of contaminants, and thus improving the safety of using the devices.

[0035] Optionally, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, there are multiple mounting plates 1, which are arranged side by side and are rotatably connected to each other on the side closest to each other; each mounting plate 1 is equipped with a cleaning cloth 2, wherein the two surfaces of the mounting plate 1 located in the middle position are equipped with cleaning cloth 2; when two adjacent mounting plates 1 are rotated to a folded position, at least a portion of the cleaning cloth 2 on the two adjacent mounting plates 1 are in contact with each other.

[0036] In this embodiment, the number of mounting plates 1 can be multiple. If there are two mounting plates 1, there is at least one rotatable connection between the two mounting plates 1. If there are three mounting plates 1, there are at least two rotatable connections between the three mounting plates 1. If there are N mounting plates 1 (N is a positive integer greater than 2), there are at least N-1 rotatable connections between the N mounting plates 1.

[0037] Each mounting plate 1 is equipped with a cleaning cloth 2. The mounting plates 1 located in the middle position have cleaning cloths 2 installed on both surfaces. It should be noted that since multiple mounting plates 1 are arranged side-by-side, two mounting plates 1 are located at opposite edges in the side-by-side arrangement direction. All mounting plates 1 except those at the edges are referred to as mounting plates 1 located in the middle position. Each mounting plate 1 includes an upper surface and a lower surface arranged opposite each other along its thickness direction. The mounting plates 1 located at the edges may have a cleaning cloth 2 installed on only one surface, while all mounting plates 1 located in the middle position need to have cleaning cloths 2 installed on both surfaces. This ensures that when two adjacent mounting plates 1 are rotated to a folded position, the cleaning cloths 2 on adjacent mounting plates 1 can at least partially contact each other.

[0038] For example, there are three mounting plates 1. When the three mounting plates 1 are rotated to a folded position, they form a three-layer structure, namely an upper layer, a middle layer, and a lower layer. A batch of pipeline-type equipment can be cleaned between the cleaning cloths 2 on the upper and middle mounting plates 1, and another batch can be cleaned between the cleaning cloths 2 on the middle and lower mounting plates 1. Therefore, the more mounting plates 1 there are, the more pipeline-type equipment can be cleaned at once, resulting in higher cleaning efficiency.

[0039] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of a mounting plate 1 with a mounting area 10. In some embodiments of this application, each mounting plate 1 has a mounting area 10, which is located in the middle of the mounting plate 1 along its arrangement direction. A cleaning cloth 2 is mounted in the mounting area 10. Specifically, the mounting area 10 may have a different color or pattern than other areas on the mounting plate 1 for easy distinction. Mounting the cleaning cloth 2 in the central mounting area 10 helps to evenly distribute the force on the cleaning cloth 2 during the cleaning process, improves the overall structural stability of the mounting plate 1 and the cleaning cloth 2, and thus helps to extend the service life of the cleaning device.

[0040] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the cleaning cloth 2 is adhesively bonded to the installation area 10. Specifically, an adhesive, such as acrylic glue or polyurethane glue, can be applied to the installation area 10. This adhesive has strong bonding properties and can reliably ensure the connection reliability between the cleaning cloth 2 and the installation area 10.

[0041] Alternatively, in some embodiments of this application, the mounting area 10 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part, which snaps and fixes the cleaning cloth 2 to the mounting area 10. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​part can be an elastic cord, a buckle, or other structure. For example, the mounting plate 1 is provided with at least two opposing elastic cords, the length of which is adapted to the length or width of the cleaning cloth 2. When installing the cleaning cloth 2, the cleaning cloth 2 can be passed through the hole formed by the elastic cord and the mounting plate 1, thereby fixing the cleaning cloth 2. Alternatively, the mounting plate 1 is provided with multiple buckles, which can be distributed at the corners and edges of the cleaning cloth 2. When installing the cleaning cloth 2, the corners and edges of the cleaning cloth 2 are embedded in the buckles, thereby fixing the cleaning cloth 2.

[0042] Optionally, refer to Figure 5 The diagram shows a mounting plate 1 with a recessed cavity 11. In some embodiments of this application, each mounting plate 1 has a recessed cavity 11, which forms a mounting area 10. Therefore, mounting the cleaning cloth 2 in the mounting area 10 means that the cleaning cloth 2 is mounted inside the recessed cavity 11. This arrangement allows the cavity wall of the recessed cavity 11 to limit the movement of the cleaning cloth 2, thus improving the installation stability of the cleaning cloth 2 in the mounting area 10.

[0043] Optionally, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown in some embodiments of this application, the area of ​​the mounting area 10 on each mounting plate 1 accounts for no less than 50% of the total area of ​​the mounting plate 1. For example, the area of ​​the mounting area 10 on each mounting plate 1 can account for 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, etc. The larger the area of ​​the mounting area 10 on each mounting plate 1 accounts for the total area of ​​the mounting plate 1, the larger the size of the cleaning cloth 2 that can be installed, and the more tools that can be cleaned at the same time. When the area of ​​the mounting area 10 on each mounting plate 1 accounts for 100% of the total area of ​​the mounting plate 1, the size of the cleaning cloth 2 can be maximized, and the number of tools that can be cleaned at the same time can be maximized, but correspondingly, the cost of the cleaning device is higher.

[0044] In addition, the area of ​​the mounting area 10 on different mounting plates 1 can be the same or different, as long as it can be ensured that when the two mounting plates 1 are rotated to the folded position, the cleaning cloths 2 on the two mounting plates 1 are at least partially in contact with each other.

[0045] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, a fixing part is provided on the mounting plate 1 located at the edge position. The fixing part is located on the side away from the cleaning cloth 2, and the fixing part is suitable for fixing the mounting plate 1. Specifically, in conjunction with the foregoing embodiments, since multiple mounting plates 1 are arranged side by side, the mounting plate 1 located at the edge position refers to the mounting plate 1 located at the two edges in the side-by-side arrangement direction. The fixing part is provided on the mounting plate 1 located at the edge position. The fixing part is located on the side away from the cleaning cloth 2. The fixing part can fix the position of the mounting plate 1 during the cleaning process, keeping the mounting plate 1 stationary. Thus, during the cleaning process, relative movement is generated between the tool and the mounting plate 1 by pulling out the tubing-like tool, and the cleaning cloth 2 on the mounting plate 1 can clean the tool.

[0046] Under the above cleaning method, since the mounting plate 1 is fixed, the stability of the cleaning device during the cleaning process can be effectively improved, which further helps to improve the cleaning effect. In addition, the fixing part on the mounting plate 1 can be a handle, hook, column, or other structures that can fix the mounting plate 1; this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this. Furthermore, since the fixing part is located on the side opposite to the cleaning cloth 2, it will not interfere with the cleaning cloth 2 during the cleaning process, thus not affecting the cleaning effect.

[0047] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, one of two adjacent mounting plates 1 is provided with a first fastening part 31 and the other is provided with a second fastening part 32; when the two adjacent mounting plates 1 are rotated to a folded position, the first fastening part 31 and the second fastening part 32 fasten each other.

[0048] Specifically, the first fastening part 31 and the second fastening part 32 are disposed on the side of the mounting plate 1 where the cleaning cloth 2 is located. In conjunction with the aforementioned embodiment, for mounting plates 1 located at the edge, the first fastening part 31 or the second fastening part 32 can be disposed on one surface; for mounting plates 1 located in the middle, the first fastening part 31 or the second fastening part 32 can be disposed on two surfaces. The positions of the first fastening part 31 or the second fastening part 32 correspond. When two adjacent mounting plates 1 are rotated to a folded position, at least a portion of the cleaning cloth 2 on the two adjacent mounting plates 1 comes into contact with each other. Simultaneously, the first fastening part 31 and the second fastening part 32 fasten each other, thus fixing the two adjacent mounting plates 1. In this way, during the cleaning of pipeline-type utensils, displacement between the two adjacent mounting plates 1 can be avoided, thereby improving the stability of the cleaning device during the cleaning process and enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0049] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, one of the first engaging portion 31 and the second engaging portion 32 is a protrusion, and the other is a groove. The protrusion is embedded in the groove to achieve the engaging connection between the first engaging portion 31 and the second engaging portion 32. The structure of the protrusion and the groove is simple and easy to process, which helps to reduce the processing difficulty of the mounting plate 1, thereby controlling the processing cost of the cleaning device.

[0050] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the angular range of mutual rotation between two adjacent mounting plates 1 is 0° to 180°. Figure 1 A schematic diagram shows two mounting plates 1 in an unfolded position, wherein the two mounting plates 1 are approximately 180° apart. Figure 2 A schematic diagram shows two mounting plates 1 in a semi-folded position, wherein the two mounting plates 1 are at approximately 60° apart. Figure 3 A schematic diagram shows two mounting plates 1 in a folded position, with the two mounting plates 1 approximately at a 0° angle. Within the angle range of 0° to 180°, the cleaning cloths 2 on the two adjacent mounting plates 1 can be in contact to achieve a good cleaning effect, while avoiding excessive rotation between the two adjacent mounting plates 1, which would make it difficult for personnel to operate.

[0051] It should be understood that the phrase "some embodiments" throughout the specification means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic related to an embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of this application. Therefore, "some embodiments" appearing throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these specific features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
