Abstract

An electrically bent endoscope having a bending operation input member with a construction that is capable of obtaining desired operation resistance by a simple mechanism, thereby achieving enhanced operability. The electrically bent endoscope has a bending drive section (30) for bending and operating a curved portion (12) provided on the distal end side of an inserting portion, a bending operation input section (20) for inputting an instruction of bending operation of the curved portion, a plate-like member (42) moving in association with the movement of an operator (41) of the bending operation input section, a container for receiving the plate-like member so as to surround at least a part of the member and to allow the member to freely move in the container, and viscous fluid (44a) sealed in the container.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electric bending endoscope device, and specifically relates to an electric bending endoscope device configured to electrically bend a bending portion provided on the distal end side of an insertion portion. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, endoscopes have been widely used in medical fields, industrial fields, and the like. Endoscopes in the medical field are configured to insert an elongated insertion portion into a body cavity to observe organs in the body cavity, or to perform various treatments using a treatment tool inserted in a treatment tool channel as needed. [0003] In addition, endoscopes in the industrial field can observe and inspect internal damage, corrosion, etc. in boilers, turbines, engines, chemical equipment, etc., by inserting elongated insertion parts into various devices. [0004] In such a conventional endoscope, it is generally configured such that a freely bendable bending port...
