The present application relates to an
endoscope and a hydraulically driven snake bone for the
endoscope, the snake bone comprising: a joint
assembly comprising a plurality of intermediate joints; the adjusting
assembly comprises a channel and a plurality of bag bodies, the bag bodies are arranged between the adjacent middle joints, the channel is communicated with the bag bodies, the channel and the bag bodies form a driving unit, each driving
assembly is at least provided with two driving units capable of being in linkage, one of the two driving units is filled with liquid, and the other driving unit is used for discharging liquid. The two driving units are oppositely arranged on the joint assembly. According to the snake bone, fluid hydraulic drive bending is achieved through the bag body, no traction
rope is arranged, snake bone bending is achieved by controlling deformation of the bending bag body through
hydraulic pressure, the snake bone can be controlled to be bent step by step from one end, the bending
radius is reduced, and operation of an
endoscope body in a narrow space is facilitated; the arrangement position of the driving unit is flexible, and fluid flows quickly in the driving unit, so that the bending direction of the snake bone is controlled more accurately.
