Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of colonoscope cleaning, specifically a cleaning device suitable for colonoscope mirrors. Background Technology

[0002] During medical examinations and treatments, a colonoscope penetrates deep into the intestines. Inevitably, the tubes become contaminated with intestinal mucus, food residue, blood, and various microorganisms. These contaminants can corrode the inner walls of the colonoscope tubes, shortening the device's lifespan.

[0003] During colonoscopy cleaning, the limited number of cleaning rods used and the limited effective length of each cleaning operation result in a small contact area between the rods and the inner wall of the tube. This necessitates manual, extensive back-and-forth movement and rotation of the cleaning rods during the procedure, leading to low cleaning efficiency and poor cleaning quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device suitable for colonoscopes that achieves synergistic effects of mechanical cleaning and liquid flushing, with the two working together to achieve a cleaning effect far superior to mechanical cleaning or liquid flushing alone, significantly improving the cleanliness of the inner wall of the pipe, and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cleaning device suitable for colonoscope mirrors, comprising a pull ring and a cleaning structure fixedly connected to the bottom of the pull ring, the cleaning structure including a flexible spring, a first circular block fixedly connected to the bottom of the pull ring, the bottom of the first circular block being fixedly connected to a second circular block via the flexible spring, a spiral spring fixedly connected to the bottom of the second circular block, a plurality of cleaning brush rods fixedly connected to the outer circumferential sidewall of the spiral spring, the plurality of evenly distributed cleaning brush rods being spirally and evenly distributed along the outer circumferential sidewall of the spiral spring, and a rinsing structure provided on the pull ring.

[0006] Preferably, the spiral spring is made of silicone material, with a length of 8-10 cm and a width of 6-8 mm.

[0007] Preferably, the cleaning brush handle is made of soft silicone material and has a length of 3-5 mm.

[0008] Preferably, the rinsing structure includes a rinsing bag and a liquid guiding hose. The rinsing hose is provided inside the flexible spring. A three-way pipe is embedded inside the second circular block. The top end of the three-way pipe is fixedly connected to the rinsing hose. The top end of the rinsing hose passes through the first circular block and is installed and connected to the liquid guiding hose. The top end of the liquid guiding hose is fixedly connected to the rinsing bag.

[0009] Preferably, the rinsing bag is fixedly connected to the top of the bag, and the inside of the rinsing bag is filled with an enzyme-containing cleaning agent.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom end of the fluid guiding hose is inserted into the top end of the flushing hose, and an adjuster is fitted onto the fluid guiding hose.

[0011] Preferably, a first sealing plug is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom end of the fluid guiding hose via a first connecting strip, and a second sealing plug is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top end of the flushing hose via a second connecting strip.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This experiment achieved a synergistic effect between mechanical cleaning and liquid flushing. The cleaning structure features evenly distributed cleaning brushes on the outer spiral of the spiral springs. With the flexibility and adaptability provided by the bendable springs, these brushes can penetrate deep into the complex and winding environment inside the colonoscope tube. The spiral arrangement design allows for comprehensive, thorough mechanical cleaning of the tube's inner wall, effectively removing attached mucus, residual feces, and other contaminants. The flushing structure, through a pathway consisting of a flushing bag, a guide hose, a flushing hose, and a T-junction, delivers an enzyme-containing cleaning agent to the cleaning area under gravity or appropriate pressure. The enzyme-containing cleaning agent rapidly decomposes dirt, protein residues, and other substances, further dissolving and loosening stubborn stains on top of mechanical cleaning. The combined effect of these two methods is far superior to either mechanical cleaning or liquid flushing alone, significantly improving the cleanliness of the tube's inner wall and providing a clear view for subsequent examinations.

[0013] Secondly, it improves cleaning efficiency and quality. The cleaning brush handles are made of soft silicone material, with a length of 5 mm and a diameter of 2 mm. Combined with the 8 cm length and 6 mm width of the spiral spring, and the increased number of brush handles, the cleaning contact area is significantly increased. The spiral arrangement not only increases the contact area with the inner wall, but also forms a spiral trajectory when moving or rotating, improving cleaning efficiency per unit time.

[0016] 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.

[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The figure shows a cleaning device suitable for colonoscope mirrors, including a pull ring 1 and a cleaning structure 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the pull ring 1. The cleaning structure 2 includes a flexible spring 22. A first circular block 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pull ring 1. The bottom of the first circular block 21 is fixedly connected to a second circular block 23 through the flexible spring 22. A spiral spring 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second circular block 23. A number of cleaning brush rods 25 are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the spiral spring 24. The number of evenly distributed cleaning brush rods 25 are spirally and evenly distributed along the outer side wall of the spiral spring 24. A rinsing structure 3 is provided on the pull ring 1.

[0018] It is worth noting that the flexible spring 22 gives the cleaning structure 2 excellent flexibility and adaptability, allowing it to flexibly adjust its posture in the complex and winding environment inside the colonoscope tube, ensuring that the cleaning components can smoothly reach the positions that need cleaning. When moving or rotating inside the colonoscope tube, the spirally arranged cleaning brush rods 25 can perform a comprehensive, thorough cleaning of the inner wall of the tube, effectively removing mucus, residual feces, and other contaminants adhering to the inner wall, ensuring the cleanliness of the inner wall and providing a clear view for subsequent colonoscopy examinations.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The spiral spring 24 is made of silicone material, with a length of 8 cm and a width of 6 mm. Silicone material is soft, elastic, and corrosion-resistant. The spiral spring 24 made of this material ensures sufficient friction against the inner wall of the colonoscope tube during cleaning, effectively removing dirt without damaging the tube's inner wall. Its 8 cm length and 6 mm width design allows the spiral spring 24 to function better within the colonoscope tube, fully unfolding for cleaning without being too large and hindering its flexible movement within the tube.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cleaning brush handle 25 is made of soft silicone material, with a length of 5 mm and a diameter of 2 mm. Soft silicone material is characterized by its softness, good toughness, and strong tear resistance. Using this material, the cleaning brush handle 25 can closely conform to the inner wall of the colonoscope tube for cleaning, ensuring cleaning effectiveness and avoiding scratching damage to the inner wall. The increased number of cleaning brush handles 25 and the increased length of the spiral spring 24 result in a larger cleaning contact area compared to traditional brush models. The spiral arrangement further increases the contact area with the inner wall, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0021] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The rinsing structure 3 includes a rinsing bag 31 and a liquid guiding hose 33. A rinsing hose 38 is provided inside the flexible spring 22. A three-way pipe 35 is embedded inside the second round block 23. The top end of the three-way pipe 35 is fixedly connected to the rinsing hose 38. The top end of the rinsing hose 38 passes through the first round block 21, and the through end is installed and connected to the liquid guiding hose 33. The top end of the liquid guiding hose 33 is fixedly connected to the rinsing bag 31.

[0022] The rinsing bag 31 is made of highly elastic medical-grade transparent rubber material. This material not only has good flexibility and can withstand certain pressure without breaking, but also has the characteristics of being non-toxic, odorless, and non-contaminating to the liquid, ensuring that the liquid used during rinsing is not contaminated and guaranteeing the safety of the cleaning process. The fluid guiding hose 33 is made of transparent polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material. This material has high transparency, making it easy for medical personnel to observe the flow of the rinsing liquid and promptly detect any potential blockages. At the same time, PVC material has a certain degree of flexibility and tensile strength, which can adapt to various bending and stretching movements during the use of the cleaning device, ensuring smooth delivery of the rinsing liquid. The rinsing hose 38 is made of corrosion-resistant silicone tubing. Silicone tubing has good chemical stability and can withstand the corrosion of various rinsing liquids, extending its service life. The three-way pipe 35 is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has the advantages of high strength, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning, ensuring that it will not rust or be damaged during long-term use, ensuring the stable operation of the rinsing structure 3.

[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The top of the rinsing bag 31 is fixedly connected to a hook 34, and the inside of the rinsing bag 31 is filled with an enzyme-containing cleaning agent. The hook 34 is designed to easily hang the irrigation bag 31 in a suitable position, facilitating operation and use by medical staff. The enzyme-containing cleaning agent has highly efficient cleaning capabilities, quickly breaking down dirt, protein residue, and other substances on the colonoscope surface, effectively improving cleaning results and providing a good field of vision for subsequent examinations and treatments. The bottom of the irrigation bag 31 is connected to one end of the three-way tube 35 via a drainage tube 33. During irrigation, the irrigation bag 31 can be suspended at a high position, the drainage tube 33 inserted into the top of the irrigation tube 38, and the regulator 32 opened to its maximum, allowing the irrigation fluid to fall under its own weight and flow out through the three-way tube 35. During irrigation, medical staff can adjust the regulator 32 to control the flow rate of the irrigation fluid according to actual needs, meeting the requirements of different cleaning scenarios.

[0024] The bottom end of the fluid guiding tube 33 is inserted into the top end of the flushing tube 38. A regulator 32 is fitted onto the fluid guiding tube 33, which is a fluid flow meter used in infusion tubing in the prior art. Medical personnel can precisely control the flow cross-section of the fluid guiding tube 33 by sliding the regulator 32: when a larger flow rate of flushing fluid is needed, the roller of the regulator 32 is moved towards the open direction, increasing the flow cross-section of the fluid guiding tube 33, allowing the flushing fluid to flow through quickly; when a smaller flow rate of flushing fluid is needed, the roller of the regulator 32 is moved towards the closed direction, decreasing the flow cross-section of the fluid guiding tube 33, and slowing down the flow rate of the flushing fluid. This design makes the flow rate adjustment of the flushing fluid more flexible and convenient, better adapting to different cleaning needs.

[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bottom outer wall of the fluid guiding hose 33 is fixedly connected to the first sealing plug 36 by the first connecting strip 37, and the top outer wall of the flushing hose 38 is fixedly connected to the second sealing plug 40 by the second connecting strip 39.

[0026] Both the first sealing plug 36 and the second sealing plug 40 are made of rubber and have good sealing performance. When the liquid guiding hose 33 is inserted into the top of the flushing hose 38, when the flushing structure 3 is not in use, the liquid guiding hose 33 is pulled out, the first sealing plug 36 seals the liquid guiding hose 33, and the second sealing plug 40 seals the flushing hose 38.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
