Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an intelligent transport device for a respiratory endoscope. Background Technology

[0002] Breathing endoscopes (with bronchoscopes as a typical example) are key precision medical instruments used in modern medicine for the examination, diagnosis, and treatment of respiratory diseases. They are characterized by high technical content, complex structure, and high unit price. In clinical applications, the cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization of breathing endoscopes after use are usually completed by dedicated endoscope cleaning workstations equipped in hospital endoscopy centers. However, due to the dispersed nature of breathing endoscope usage scenarios, properly cleaned and disinfected breathing endoscopes need to be transported from the endoscopy center to the respective departments using them via transport equipment.

[0003] Traditional respiratory endoscopes are typically stored in trolleys and storage boxes. The storage box consists of a box body and a lid. The inside of the box is used to store the respiratory endoscope. This method cannot meet the special requirements of the sterile storage environment for respiratory endoscopes after cleaning and disinfection. Its single function means that if the respiratory endoscope cannot be used immediately after being transported to the department where it is used, additional storage space that meets the requirements must be set up, which increases the complexity of clinical operations. Currently used transport boxes use a rigid outer shell and door to form a sealed storage space. Simple dividers are set up inside the storage space to store ventilator endoscopes. Although this can prevent external impacts and avoid damage to the ventilator endoscopes from collisions, its function is still limited to the single attribute of a "transport container". The internal environment of the existing transport boxes relies only on initial cleaning and cannot resist the penetration of external microorganisms during transport (such as insufficient sealing performance of the box leading to air circulation), nor can it eliminate any microorganisms that may remain inside the box. This makes it very easy for the ventilator endoscopes that have passed cleaning and disinfection to be recontaminated during transport, posing a significant risk of hospital-acquired infections. Ventilator endoscopes are in a "black box" state during transport. If there are errors in the handover between transport personnel or the equipment is forgotten, it may lead to the loss of the equipment. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following description of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings is merely illustrative and not restrictive.

[0019] Where possible, the various embodiments described below can be rearranged to form other embodiments not shown in the following description; the various technical features described below can also be rearranged to form other embodiments not shown in the following description.

[0020] Example 1 Please see Figure 1-5 To address the inability of traditional transport boxes to meet the current clinical demands for high-quality transport and storage of respiratory endoscopes 27, this embodiment provides an intelligent transport device for respiratory endoscopes 27, including an intelligent transport box main body 1. The intelligent transport box main body 1 includes a main body 1 and a sealed door 2 that rotates relative to the main body 1. The main body 1 is equipped with a control box 3, a first handle 4, and casters 5. The main body 1 contains several storage boxes 6 and a first ultraviolet lamp 7. The storage boxes 6 are detachably connected to the main body 1. The control box 3 contains a first control board 8, a temperature and humidity control unit 9, and a temperature and humidity monitoring module 10. The control output terminal of the first control board 8 is electrically connected to the control input terminal of the first ultraviolet lamp 7 for turning the first ultraviolet lamp 7 on and off. The signal output terminal of the temperature and humidity monitoring module 10 is electrically connected to the signal input terminal of the first control board 8 for monitoring and outputting temperature and humidity signals inside the main body 1. The control output terminal of the first control board 8 is electrically connected to the control input terminal of the temperature and humidity control unit 9 for receiving temperature and humidity signals and controlling the opening and closing of the temperature and humidity control unit 9.

[0021] The number of storage boxes 6 can be increased or decreased according to clinical needs by adjusting the height of the main housing 1. In this embodiment, five storage boxes 6 are arranged vertically inside the main housing 1, allowing for the simultaneous transport or storage of five flexible ventilator endoscopes 27. The first handle 4 is a push handle, which, along with the casters 5, enables the transport function of the transport device. The rotating device can be used not only for transporting the ventilator endoscopes 27 but also for storing them. The first ultraviolet lamp 7 can disinfect the inside of the main housing 1 or the ventilator endoscopes 27, preventing aging or bacterial growth. The temperature and humidity monitoring module 10 monitors the temperature and humidity of the storage environment, and the temperature and humidity control unit 9 adjusts the environmental parameters within the set range to ensure the cleanliness of the internal environment of the main housing 1, facilitating the storage of the ventilator endoscopes 27. To improve sealing, the main housing 1 and the sealing door 2 are sealed with a rubber strip, and the sealing door 2 can be equipped with a lock that works in conjunction with the main housing 1.

[0022] To improve ease of use, an opening / closing sensor is installed on both the main housing 1 and the sealing door 2. The signal output terminal of the opening / closing sensor is electrically connected to the signal input terminal of the first control board 8, used to monitor and output the opening / closing signal of the sealing door 2. The first control board 8 receives the opening / closing signal and controls the opening and closing of the first ultraviolet lamp 7. The condition for triggering the ultraviolet lamp to turn on is a door closing signal. After detecting the door opening / closing signal, the default environment requires the ultraviolet lamp to turn on in disinfection mode. The opening and closing time of the ultraviolet lamp is set based on the equipment test results.

[0023] The storage box 6 has a placement slot 11, and the side of the storage box 6 has an edge protrusion 12. The main body 1 has a guide rail 13 that mates with the edge protrusion 12. When there are 5 storage boxes 6 arranged in a row, the main body 1 is equipped with a guide rail 13 for each storage box 6. The storage box 6 is placed by inserting the protruding edge of the storage box 6 into the guide rail 13 of the main body 1. The structure is simple and the disassembly and assembly are convenient. In use, medical staff hold the ventilator endoscope 27 and place it into the storage box 6. The storage box 6 is then placed on the guide rail 13 of the main body 1. The sealing door 2 is closed, blocking the opening of the guide rail 13, so that the storage box 6 cannot slide out of the guide rail 13. At this time, the medical staff can push the handle to complete the transfer of the ventilator endoscope 27. The storage box 6 can be made of soft foam, plastic, or other materials, and can be made into a specific shape according to the shape of the ventilator endoscope 27. It is not only easy to clean, but also provides shock absorption protection during transportation.

[0024] To prevent equipment loss due to handover errors or forgetting during transport, the control box 3 is equipped with a first positioning module 14. Its control input is electrically connected to the control output of the first control board 8, used to monitor and output the positioning signal of the main housing 1. During transport, the main housing 1 of the ventilator endoscope 27 can receive real-time position information from the first positioning module 14 to monitor the equipment's location.

[0025] The outer side of the main housing 1 is provided with a first display unit 15 and a first operation unit 16. The signal output terminal of the first control board 8 is electrically connected to the signal input terminal of the first display unit 15, and the control output terminal of the first operation unit 16 is electrically connected to the control input terminal of the first control board 8. The first display unit 15 can be configured as a display screen, and the first operation unit 16 can be configured as buttons. In other specific embodiments, the first display unit 15 and the first operation unit 16 are configured as a touch-screen controllable display screen. The first operation unit 16 inputs a preset environmental parameter range to the first control board 8. When entering the storage state, the temperature and humidity monitoring module 10 monitors the storage environment of the respiratory endoscope 27 and displays the parameter information through the first display unit 15. When the environmental parameters exceed the preset range, the first control board 8 drives the temperature and humidity control unit 9 to start working to adjust the environmental parameters within the preset range. The time T can be adjusted by power control. Simultaneously, the first control board 8 controls the first ultraviolet lamp 7 to start working to ensure the cleanliness of the internal environment.

[0026] The control box 3 contains a first battery storage unit 17 and a first charging interface 18. The output of the first battery storage unit 17 is electrically connected to the input of the first display unit 15 and the first operation unit 16, respectively. The output of the first charging interface 18 is electrically connected to the input of the first battery storage unit 17, used to connect to an external power source and charge the first battery storage unit 17. For convenient portability, the first battery storage unit 17 can power the battery pack, supplying power to all electrical components within the main control box and main housing 1, ensuring normal operation even when not charging. After operation, the battery pack can be charged via the first charging interface 18 to ensure normal operation the next day.

[0027] Example 2 Please see Figure 1-7To improve flexibility of use, based on Embodiment 1, an intelligent transport device for a respiratory endoscope 27 is provided, which also includes a portable transport box body. The portable transport box body includes a transport box 19 and an outer cover 20 that rotates relative to the transport box 19. The transport box 19 has a cavity for accommodating a storage box 6, and the versatility of the storage box 6 reduces the cost of use. A second handle 21 is provided on the outside of the outer cover 20, and a second ultraviolet lamp 22, a second positioning module, and a second control board are provided inside the outer cover 20. The control output terminal of the second control board is connected to the control input terminal of the second ultraviolet lamp 22 and the second positioning module, respectively. When used in emergency situations in clinical departments, the portable transport box for the respiratory endoscope 27 can be used for emergency transport. After the portable transport box is used, the storage box 6 can be removed for centralized cleaning and disinfection. The interior of the transport box 19 can be disinfected by the built-in second ultraviolet lamp 22 to ensure the cleanliness of the interior of the transport box 19. To improve sealing, a locking mechanism is provided between the transport box 19 and the outer cover 20.

[0028] The intelligent transport box and the portable transport box can be used independently for the transport and storage of pulmonary endoscopes 27. The efficient synergy of the intelligent transport device is particularly evident in emergency situations in functional departments, such as the emergency department. Under normal circumstances, only one pulmonary endoscope is needed. If the intelligent transport box is used, it cannot achieve portability. The intelligent transport box is mainly used for the centralized collection or distribution of pulmonary endoscopes. In emergency situations, the portable transport box can be used for convenient transport, making up for the shortcomings of the intelligent transport box.

[0029] The outer side of the outer cover 20 is provided with a second display unit 23 and a second operation unit 24. The signal output terminal of the second control board is electrically connected to the signal input terminal of the second display unit 23, and the control output terminal of the second operation unit 24 is electrically connected to the control input terminal of the second control board. The second display unit 23 can be configured as a display screen, and the second operation unit 24 can be configured as buttons. In other specific embodiments, the second display unit 23 and the second operation unit 24 are configured as a touch-screen controllable display. The second display unit 23 displays the status of the second ultraviolet lamp and the second positioning module, and the second operation unit 24 adjusts and controls the second ultraviolet lamp and the second positioning module.

[0030] The transport box 19 has an inner cover 25, which is located between the storage box 6 and the outer cover 20 and hinged to the transport box 19. A limiting member 26 is provided on the side of the inner cover 25 facing the outer cover 20. When the storage box 6 is placed in the cavity of the transport box 19, the inner cover 25 rotates to cover one side of the placement slot 11 of the storage box 6. When the outer cover 20 is closed on the transport box 19, the inner cover 25 abuts against the storage box 6 because the outer cover 20 abuts against the limiting member 26, thus fixing the position of the ventilator 27 and ensuring the safety of the ventilator 27 during transport.

[0031] The outer cover 20 houses a second power storage unit and a second charging interface. The output of the second power storage unit is electrically connected to the input of the second display unit 23 and the second operation unit 24. The output of the second charging interface is electrically connected to the input of the second power storage unit, used to connect to an external power source and charge the second power storage unit. For convenient mobility, the second power storage unit can power a battery pack, supplying power to all power-consuming components within the outer cover 20. To improve safety, a sandwich panel is provided within the outer cover 20, housing the second power storage unit and the second positioning module. After operation, the battery can be charged via the second charging interface, ensuring normal operation at any time.

[0032] To enhance the intelligence of the device, other specific embodiments also include a cloud platform and a management terminal. The signal output terminals of the temperature and humidity monitoring module 10, the first positioning module 14, and the second positioning module are network-connected to the signal input terminal of the cloud platform. The signal output terminal of the cloud platform is network-connected to the management terminal. The management terminal can be an intelligent operation tool, such as an APP, which can receive the status of the intelligent transfer device in real time, thereby realizing multiple innovative functions such as intelligent environmental monitoring, automatic disinfection management, real-time location tracking, and cloud data storage.

[0033] For monitoring the storage and transportation environment, the main enclosure 1 can also be equipped with a high-precision temperature and humidity sensor, an ultraviolet intensity detector, and an airborne microbial sampler. This allows for real-time monitoring of internal environmental parameters, which are displayed via the first display unit 15 or the second display unit 23, ensuring that storage conditions meet the requirements of the WS507-2016 standard. The automatic disinfection system uses ultraviolet light and can intelligently initiate the disinfection program based on usage records, automatically recording key parameters such as disinfection time. The first positioning module 14 and the second positioning module can be GPS / Bluetooth dual-mode positioning modules and RFID identification systems, enabling real-time tracking of the location and usage status of the intelligent transfer device. All operational data is uploaded to a cloud platform via a 4G / 5G network, supporting blockchain storage to ensure data immutability.

[0034] This intelligent transport device addresses key issues in clinical use, such as inconsistent disinfection processes and chaotic equipment management during the storage and transport of respiratory endoscopes 27. Traditional transport methods cannot guarantee a sterile storage and transport environment, easily leading to aging of endoscope components or bacterial growth; manual disinfection lacks standardized procedures, resulting in blind spots and risks of missing records; and equipment is prone to misplacement or loss during transport, affecting diagnostic and treatment efficiency. The intelligent transport device in this embodiment ensures the cleanliness of the respiratory endoscope 27 during transport and storage through precise environmental control and its own disinfection system. Its location tracking function reduces equipment loss by 90%. Simultaneously, the complete electronic recording system meets the requirements of JCI accreditation and tertiary hospital accreditation for the entire lifecycle management of medical equipment, significantly improving hospital infection control and management efficiency, and saving medical institutions annually on equipment maintenance and human resource management costs.

Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art are within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
