Embodiment approach 1

[0035] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram showing a configuration example of the capsule medical device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. figure 2 yes figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of line A-A of the capsule medical device shown. figure 1 , 2 The illustrated capsule medical device 1 includes a capsule casing 2 , an illumination unit 3 , an optical system 4 , an imaging unit 5 , a wireless communication unit 6 , a control unit 7 , and a sheet-shaped battery 8 . The illuminating unit 3 illuminates a subject. The optical system 4 forms an optical image of a subject illuminated by the illumination unit 3 . The imaging unit 5 captures an image of the subject, that is, an in-vivo image of the subject. The wireless communication unit 6 wirelessly transmits the in-vivo images captured by the imaging unit 5 to the outside. The control unit 7 controls the operation and the like of each component included in the capsule medical device 1 . The sheet b...

Embodiment approach 2

[0060] Next, Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described. In Embodiment 1 described above, cutouts 10a to 10c for arranging the sheet-shaped battery 8 rolled into a rod shape are formed on the respective outer peripheral portions of the imaging board 5b, the control board 7c, and the communication board 6c. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, openings are formed in the sheet-shaped battery 8 corresponding to the outer peripheral portion of the circuit board so that the openings of the respective outer peripheral portions of the circuit board are fitted into the openings of the sheet-shaped battery 8 . State The sheet-shaped battery 8 is arranged inside the capsule-shaped casing 2 .

Embodiment approach 3

[0070] Next, Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described. In Embodiments 1 and 2 described above, the sheet-shaped battery rolled into a rod shape is disposed between the inner wall portion of the capsule-shaped case and the outer peripheral portion of the circuit board. In contrast, in Embodiment 3, a sheet-shaped battery is embedded in the capsule-shaped case in a state where the electrode terminal portion is exposed.

[0071] Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram showing a configuration example of the capsule medical device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Figure 8 yes Figure 7 The B-B line cross-sectional schematic diagram of the capsule medical device shown. Such as Figure 7 , 8 As shown, the capsule medical device 31 according to the third embodiment includes a capsule case 32 and a sheet battery 38 instead of the capsule case 2 and the sheet battery of the capsule medical device 21 according to the second embodiment. 28. The capsul...

Abstract

A capsule medical device (1) includes a capsule casing (2) that contains an illumination board (3b), an imaging board (5b), a transmission board (6c), and a control board (7c) on which functional components are mounted, and a sheet-like battery (8) that supplies power to the functional components. The sheet-like battery (8) is rolled up to be a pole shape and located between cutout parts (10a, 10b, 10c) of the imaging board (5b), the transmission board (6c), and the control board (7c) and the inner wall of the capsule casing (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a capsule medical device that is introduced into a subject to acquire in vivo information such as image information of the subject, and more specifically relates to a location of a battery included in a capsule medical device and a battery pack. shape. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in the field of endoscopes, a capsule-shaped medical device having an imaging function and a wireless communication function inside a capsule-shaped casing has appeared. Generally, a capsule medical device is introduced into the body of a subject, and information on the subject is acquired from the body of the subject. [0003] Unlike ordinary endoscopes, capsule-type medical devices are not wired, so they are equipped with power sources such as batteries. As such a capsule-type medical device, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-181516 (hereinafter referred to as Patent Document 1) discloses that a f...
