Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of endoscope hose cleaning technology, specifically to an auxiliary cleaning component for endoscope hoses. Background Technology

[0002] The cleaning and disinfection of endoscopic tubing typically follows a strict procedure, generally including bedside pre-cleaning, leak testing, initial cleaning and soaking, scrubbing, rinsing, disinfection / sterilization, and drying. During bedside pre-cleaning, initial cleaning, and external scrubbing, medical staff generally need to manually wipe the outer surface of the tubing with damp gauze or soft cotton wipes to remove contaminants such as mucus and blood.

[0003] The current standard procedure involves medical staff using a single layer of gauze or a soft cotton towel to wrap around the outer wall of the tubing to be cleaned, and then repeatedly wiping it along its length. Because this relies entirely on manual force, the pressure applied to the gauze is difficult to maintain evenly and consistently. This results in constantly changing contact area and tightness between the gauze and the tubing's outer wall. This unstable contact easily leads to blind spots or insufficient cleaning in certain areas, leaving contaminants behind, resulting in poor cleaning effectiveness and a risk of cross-infection. Furthermore, for longer tubing that requires repeated wiping, this method demands continuous force from medical staff, especially when cleaning multiple endoscopic tubings, making it extremely labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides an auxiliary cleaning component for endoscope tubing.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: An endoscopic tubing auxiliary cleaning assembly includes a first clamp and a second clamp that are hinged together. Each of the first clamp and the second clamp has a corresponding arc-shaped clamping part on the same side. The arc-shaped clamping part includes an arc-shaped clamping plate. The end of the arc-shaped clamping plate away from the hinge point of the first clamp and the second clamp is the clamping end. An elastic clamping piece for clamping gauze is provided on the outside of the arc-shaped clamping plate. One end of the elastic clamping piece is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped clamping plate, and the other end is set close to the clamping end and abuts against the outer wall of the arc-shaped clamping plate. Two arc-shaped clamping plates can form a wiping cavity for clamping the inner diameter hose.

[0006] One elastic clamping piece is used to clamp one side of the gauze, and another elastic clamping piece clamps the other side of the gauze, so that the gauze can be fixed at the same side end of the first clamp and the second clamp. The specific structure of the elastic clamping piece clamping the gauze is as follows: the elastic clamping piece is made of a resettable elastic material. The elastic clamping piece includes an integrally formed connecting section, a receiving section and a pressing section. The pressing section is close to the clamping end, and the length direction of the receiving section is set along the arc direction of the arc-shaped clamping plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner wall of the elastic clamping piece and the outer wall of the corresponding arc-shaped clamping plate form a gauze receiving cavity, and the height of the gauze receiving cavity decreases from the connecting section to the downward pressing section.

[0008] The pressing section is used to press the gauze inserted below it under the elastic action of the elastic clamping piece. The structure of the pressing section is that the pressing section includes a pressing column, and the length direction of the pressing column is consistent with the width direction of the receiving section.

[0009] To ensure stable downward pressure on the gauze by the pressure column and prevent the gauze from detaching from the gauze receiving cavity when wiping the outer surface of the endoscope tube, an auxiliary pressure strip is provided on the inner wall of the receiving section along its width. The auxiliary pressure strip has a cylindrical structure and is parallel to the pressure column.

[0010] Preferably, the radius of the arc of the arc-shaped clamping plate corresponds to a circular angle range of 150°-180°.

[0011] To prevent the gauze from being dragged out of the wiping chamber when wiping along the length of the endoscope tube, the inner wall of the arc-shaped clamping plate is provided with multiple rubber anti-slip protrusions or rubber anti-slip layers.

[0012] To prevent medical staff from slipping when holding the auxiliary cleaning component, both the first and second clamps are provided with a grip at the end away from the clamping end. The grip includes an integrally formed grip handle and an anti-slip block, with the anti-slip block located at the end of the grip handle away from the clamping end.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting two arc-shaped clamping plates and matching elastic clamping pieces, the wiping gauze can be stably tensioned and fixed in the formed wiping cavity. This ensures that the gauze and the outer surface of the endoscope tube maintain a uniform and constant contact area and adhesion during the wiping process. This effectively overcomes the problem of poor contact caused by uneven force during manual operation, significantly improves the uniformity of wiping and cleaning, ensures the cleaning quality, and reduces the risk of cross-infection caused by incomplete cleaning.

[0014] The elastic clamping plate, through the cooperation of the pressing section and the receiving section, together with the outer wall of the arc-shaped clamping plate, forms a gauze receiving cavity with a gradually varying height. In conjunction with the parallel pressing column and the auxiliary pressing strip, it can apply a gradient clamping force to the gauze from top to bottom with increasing pressure. This makes the gauze installation quick and secure. Furthermore, it can produce a good anti-detachment effect when wiping back and forth along the axial direction of the hose, effectively resisting the dragging of the gauze by friction, ensuring the long-term stability of the gauze fixation throughout the wiping operation, and avoiding operation interruption.

[0016] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an endoscope tube auxiliary cleaning assembly includes a first clamp 1 and a second clamp 2 hinged together. Each of the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 has a corresponding arc-shaped clamping part 3 on the same side. The arc-shaped clamping part 3 includes an arc-shaped clamping plate 301. The end of the arc-shaped clamping plate 301 away from the hinge point of the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 is the clamping end 302. An elastic clamping piece 4 for clamping gauze is provided on the outer side of the arc-shaped clamping plate 301. One end of the elastic clamping piece 4 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped clamping plate 301, and the other end is set close to the clamping end 302 and abuts against the outer wall of the arc-shaped clamping plate 301.

[0017] The arc of the arc-shaped clamping plate 301 corresponds to a circular angle range of 150°-180°, which allows the two arc-shaped clamping plates 301 to form a wiping cavity for clamping the inner diameter hose. This makes it easier for the two clamping plates to cover most or all of the outer periphery of the hose when they are closed, increasing the effective area of ​​a single wipe and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0018] The wiping chamber, in conjunction with two elastic clamping plates 4, clamps the gauze on both sides. The length of the gauze on the elastic clamping plates 4 is adjusted so that the gauze can fit close to the inner wall of the wiping chamber. The first clamping body 1 and the second clamping body 2, with the gauze attached, are clamped onto the outer wall of the endoscope tube. The gauze is repeatedly wiped along the length of the endoscope tube. The gauze can be pulled out from the elastic clamping plates 4 with a certain force for replacement. The installation and removal of the gauze is relatively simple and quick. This not only increases the contact area between the gauze and the endoscope tube and improves the effect of the copper seat, but also increases the utilization rate of the gauze.

[0019] One elastic clamping piece 4 is used to clamp one side of the gauze, and another elastic clamping piece 4 clamps the other side of the gauze, so that the gauze can be fixed at the same side end of the first clamping body 1 and the second clamping body 2. The specific structure of the elastic clamping piece 4 clamping the gauze is as follows: the elastic clamping piece 4 is made of a resettable elastic material. The elastic clamping piece 4 includes an integrally formed connecting section 401, a receiving section 402 and a pressing section 403. The pressing section 403 is close to the clamping end 302, and the length direction of the receiving section 402 is set along the arc direction of the arc-shaped clamping plate 301.

[0020] The inner wall of the elastic clamping piece 4 and the outer wall of the corresponding arc-shaped clamping plate 301 form a gauze receiving cavity 404. The height of the gauze receiving cavity 404 decreases from the connecting section 401 to the pressing section 403. The pressing section 403 is used to press the gauze inserted thereunder under the elastic action of the elastic clamping piece 4. The structure of the pressing section 403 is as follows: the pressing section 403 includes a pressing column 4031, the length direction of which is consistent with the width direction of the receiving section 402. The elastic clamping piece 4, through the cooperation of the pressing section 403 and the receiving section 402, together with the outer wall of the arc-shaped clamping plate 301, forms a gauze receiving cavity 404 with a gradually changing height. With the parallel pressing column 4031 and the auxiliary pressing strip 5, a gradient pressing force with increasing pressure from top to bottom can be applied to the gauze, making the gauze installation quick and firm, and producing a better anti-detachment effect when wiping back and forth along the axial direction of the hose.

[0021] To ensure stable downward pressure on the gauze by the pressure column 4031 and prevent the gauze from detaching from the gauze receiving cavity 404 when wiping the outer surface of the endoscope tube, an auxiliary pressure strip 5 is provided on the inner wall of the receiving section 402 along its width direction. The auxiliary pressure strip 5 is a columnar structure and is parallel to the pressure column 4031.

[0022] To prevent the gauze from being dragged out of the wiping chamber when wiping along the length of the endoscope tube, the inner wall of the arc-shaped clamping plate 301 is provided with multiple rubber anti-slip protrusions 6. These rubber anti-slip protrusions 6 provide appropriate clamping force during wiping, preventing slippage or relative rotation between the tube and the tool, thereby further ensuring effective transmission of the wiping action and improving the cleaning effect. The inner wall of the arc-shaped clamping plate 301 can also be provided with a rubber anti-slip layer to increase the contact area and friction between the rubber anti-slip layer and the gauze, reducing the phenomenon of gauze slipping or significant displacement.

[0023] To prevent medical staff from slipping while holding the auxiliary cleaning components, both the first clamp body 1 and the second clamp body 2 have a grip portion 7 at the end away from the clamping end 302. The grip portion 7 includes an integrally formed grip handle 701 and an anti-slip block 702, with the anti-slip block 702 located at the end of the grip handle 701 away from the clamping end 302. The grip handle 701 provides medical staff with a comfortable and stable grip point, reducing fatigue during long-term operation; while the anti-slip block 702 effectively prevents the tool from accidentally slipping from the hand during operation in wet and slippery environments, ensuring the continuity of the cleaning operation and avoiding potential instrument damage from drops, thus improving the overall safety and convenience of the operation.
