Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of veterinary tool technology, specifically a veterinary tool cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In veterinary tools, curved designs are usually designed to adapt to the specific physiological structure of animals, making it easier to operate or avoid vital organs. Commonly used esophageal probes for cattle are used to remove foreign objects from the esophagus of ruminants such as cattle and sheep, such as accidentally ingested plastic or metal pieces, or to administer medication in a targeted manner. The curved design adapts to the connection angle between the esophagus and the rumen, avoiding puncture of the esophageal wall during insertion. When cleaning this type of probe, the inside of the probe is usually rinsed with clean water and the surface is soaked to clean and disinfect the probe.

[0003] During this cleaning and soaking process, the probe is usually placed in a basin. To ensure the probe is fully submerged, it needs to be bent, which causes cracks inside the probe. Because the probe is flexible and in a bent position, ordinary brushes cannot completely clean the inside of the probe. During the rinsing process, water accumulates inside the probe at the bends and bottom of the tube, forming "hidden residues." This accumulated liquid not only dilutes the subsequent cleaning solution but may also dry out and breed bacteria inside the tube, contaminating the cow's esophagus during the next use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a veterinary tool cleaning device, which has the advantage of straightening the originally bent probe by rising inside the soaking tank through a support net, making it easier to clean the surface and interior of the probe, and thus achieving a more thorough cleaning.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a veterinary tool cleaning device, comprising a soaking tub and a probe, wherein the bottom end of the soaking tub has a support leg for raising the soaking tub, the bottom end of the soaking tub has a liquid outlet pipe, and the surface of the soaking tub is fixedly connected with several sets of hooks.

[0006] The soaking tank is equipped with a smoothing component, which includes three sets of support nets arranged vertically inside the soaking tank. The surface of the support nets is set with a mesh structure, and each support net surface is fitted with an elastic sleeve. The probe surface is located in the elastic sleeves inside the three sets of support nets at different positions. When the top support net slides upward, the top of the probe deforms.

[0007] Preferably, the support mesh structure has pull ropes inserted inside, and a baffle plate is connected to the bottom of the mesh groove on the surface of the support mesh through the pull ropes. When the baffle plate is subjected to the tension of the pull ropes, it presses against the surface of the support mesh.

[0008] Preferably, the other end of the pull rope is fitted with a hook, and the hook is provided around the perimeter and located on the surface of the soaking tub.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the soaking tub is provided with a vertical groove, and two sets of sliders are slidably connected inside the vertical groove. The two sets of sliders are respectively fixed to the surface of the support net, and the support net slides inside the soaking tub.

[0010] Preferably, the gaps inside the elastic sleeves of the three sets of support nets gradually increase from top to bottom, and the elastic sleeves inside the support nets are designed to be detachable. The elastic sleeve inside the top support net is pressed against the surface of the probe, while the elastic sleeve inside the support net located slightly below the center has a certain gap with the surface of the probe.

[0011] Preferably, the probe is made of a flexible material.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model uses a pull rope to drive the support net to slide outward inside the soaking tank, which in turn straightens the probe inside the elastic sleeve. By straightening the originally bent part, the probe, with its own flexibility and vertical force balance, will naturally stretch from the "bent state" to a relatively straight shape when the top support net is fixed and the bottom of the probe is pulled down by its own weight. The originally folded inner tube wall will be fully unfolded and no longer blocked. Whether it is the cleaning solution penetrating during soaking or the tube being cleaned with a soft brush, it can directly act on every inch of the tube wall at the bend.

[0014] Instead of using traditional devices such as clips and screws to control the raising and lowering of the support net inside the soaking tank, which can contaminate the cleaning solution inside the soaking tank, this method uses an externally suspended liquid outlet pipe to lift the support net, and adds an auxiliary sliding slider inside the soaking tank to assist in the sliding of the support net.

[0015] By changing the traditional horizontal soaking tank to a vertical one, the problem of ordinary soaking tanks not being able to fully place the probe during cleaning is avoided. Vertical washing ensures that the soaking cleaning solution completely covers the probe, penetrating vertically without dead angles, and that the rinsing water flows straight down or up along the tube. This allows the cleaning liquid to penetrate and the water flow to evenly cover the entire length of the probe without having to repeatedly adjust the position to complete a comprehensive cleaning "from top to bottom". It also allows the accumulated liquid to drain in a specific direction and reduces secondary pollution. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides a veterinary tool cleaning device, including a soaking tank 1 and a probe 5. The bottom end of the soaking tank 1 has a support leg for raising the soaking tank 1. The bottom end of the soaking tank 1 is connected to an outlet pipe 3, and the disinfectant inside the soaking tank 1 is discharged from the inside of the outlet pipe 3 to the outside. Several sets of hooks 2 are fixedly connected to the surface of the soaking tank 1 for connecting the subsequent pull rope 42 and for fixing the pull rope 42.

[0028] The soaking tank 1 is equipped with a smoothing component 4, which includes three sets of support nets 41 arranged vertically inside the soaking tank 1. The surface of the support nets 41 is set with a mesh structure, and each support net 41 has an elastic sleeve 6 embedded in its surface. The elastic sleeve 6 can be adapted to probes 5 of different diameters. The probes 5 are located in the elastic sleeves 6 inside the three sets of support nets 41 at different positions. When the top support net 41 slides upward, the top of the probe 5 deforms. It slides upward through the top support net 41 inside the soaking tank 1, straightening the originally bent probe 5. This makes it easier for the disinfectant to rinse the inner wall and the originally bent part of the probe 5, reducing the residue of contaminants and cleaning it more thoroughly.

[0029] Specifically, the support net 41 has a pull rope 42 inserted inside the mesh structure. The bottom of the mesh groove on the surface of the support net 41 is connected to a baffle plate 43 through the pull rope 42. When the baffle plate 43 is pulled by the pull rope 42, it presses against the surface of the support net 41.

[0030] In this example, by holding the pull rope 42, the baffle plate 43 connected to one end of the pull rope 42 drives the support net 41 to move in the direction of the pull rope 42. When pulling the support net 41, the pull ropes 42 on the same horizontal line need to be pulled synchronously to avoid uneven force on the support net 41 and the support net 41 tilting inside the soaking tank 1.

[0031] Furthermore, the other end of the pull rope 42 is fitted with a hook 2, and the hook 2 is provided around the perimeter and located on the surface of the soaking tub 1, so that one end of the pull rope 42 can be hung on the hook 2 at different positions.

[0032] It should be noted that when disinfecting the probe 5, a special cleaning solution should be used. Avoid setting up various devices for adjusting the position of the support net 41 inside the soaking tank 1. Firstly, it will cause corrosion to the surface of the structure. Secondly, long-term immersion inside the soaking tank 1 will easily cause residues on the surface of the related auxiliary adjustment devices, which will cause contamination of the cleaning solution later.

[0033] Furthermore, the inner wall of the soaking tank 1 is provided with a vertical groove 7, and two sets of sliders 8 are slidably connected inside the vertical groove 7. The two sets of sliders 8 are respectively fixed to the surface of the support net 41. The support net 41 slides inside the soaking tank 1. By driving the support net 41 to slide inside the soaking tank 1 through multiple sets of sliders 8, a balanced rise can be achieved, avoiding horizontal deviation.

[0034] It is worth noting that the gaps inside the elastic sleeves 6 of the three sets of support nets 41 gradually increase from top to bottom, and the elastic sleeves 6 are designed to be detachable inside the support nets 41. The elastic sleeves 6 inside the top support net 41 are pressed against the surface of the probe tube 5, while the elastic sleeves 6 inside the support net 41 located slightly below the center have a certain gap with the surface of the probe tube 5, ensuring that the probe tube 5 is in a natural vertical state inside the soaking tank 1.

[0035] It is worth noting that the probe 5 is made of a flexible material that can adapt to the natural curvature of the esophagus. When forcibly inserted, it is easy to "bend" at the bend and then fold.

[0036] The soaking tank 1 and the probe 5 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail. Additionally, this utility model also includes a power supply, controller, and switch, which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail. The "front, back, left, and right" perspectives of this device are... Figure 1 The direction shown in the diagram is the reference.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] Initial cleaning involves using clean water and a brush to clean the inner wall and surface, removing any residue inside the elastic sleeve 6, followed by repeated rinsing with running water.

[0039] After the initial cleaning is completed, the probe 5 is passed through the elastic sleeve 6 inside the support net 41 in sequence. The support net 41 at the bottom supports the probe 5, while the support net 41 above the center position is used to limit the probe 5. The top support net 41 is offset, and the middle or lower support net 41 supports the middle section of the probe 5. The bottom support net 41 fixes the end of the probe 5. After the probe 5 is fixed, the top support net 41 is pulled to slide to the top.

[0040] The probe 5 is pulled into a relatively straight state along the vertical direction. It should be noted that forcibly straightening it will cause cracks and deformation at the bend, creating irreversible creases or gaps. These damaged areas will become new "dead spots" for dirt and bacteria, making it easier for residue and microorganisms to get stuck during subsequent cleaning. It may also scratch the mucosa of the bovine esophagus during use. Instead of forcibly straightening it, the probe 5 is kept straight by its own flexibility using fixed points to prevent it from naturally drooping and bending. At this time, the original bend of the probe 5 will be "straightened and stretched". For example, the middle section and the arc near the end that may be bent after use will be unfolded under the vertical fixed tension. The lumen wall that was originally "hidden inside the bend" will be completely exposed to the cleaning fluid and will no longer be blocked by the bend. This solves the problem of the cleaning fluid not being able to reach the bend.

[0041] When probe 5 is vertically fixed and completely submerged in the cleaning fluid, the properties of the fluid further enhance the "straightening cleaning" effect: buoyancy counteracts gravity and reduces the deformation of probe 5. In the vertical state, the weight of probe 5 itself may cause the middle section to sag slightly, especially the long probe 5, but the buoyancy of the cleaning fluid will lift probe 5 upward, forming a balance with gravity, so that probe 5 always maintains a stable vertical straight posture and avoids bending again due to gravity during the cleaning process.

[0042] Liquid penetration without dead angles: When fully submerged, the cleaning fluid acts on the probe 5 through "double contact inside and outside". It wraps the outer wall of the probe 5, which is the originally curved outer side, and can also enter the cavity through the openings at both ends of the probe 5. It flows along the "straightened cavity" and reaches the inner wall of the cavity at the originally curved part. The residual feed residue and mucus on the curved inner side can be cleaned by the pressure and flow of the liquid itself without manual flipping or angle adjustment. All surfaces exposed after straightening can be flushed and cleaned.

[0043] The accumulated fluid in the lumen will flow naturally in a directional direction due to gravity: from the top of the probe 5, away from the opening end, it will slide along the tube wall towards the opening end, and then be discharged through the drain valve or receiving container on the surface of the outlet tube 3. Without the need to repeatedly flip and adjust the angle, the accumulated fluid deep in the lumen can be quickly emptied, reducing the risk of residue and bacterial growth from the source.
