Embodiment approach 1

[0045] figure 1 It is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of the capsule medical device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. figure 2 yes figure 1 A-A sectional schematic diagram of the capsule medical device shown. image 3 yes figure 1 B-B sectional schematic diagram of the capsule medical device shown.

[0046] Such as Figure 1~3As shown, the capsule medical device 1 according to Embodiment 1 includes: a capsule-shaped casing 2; an illumination unit 3 for illuminating an object on the direction F1 side; and an image of the object illuminated by the illumination unit 3 An optical system 4 that performs imaging; and a solid-state imaging device 5 that captures an image of a subject (an in-vivo image on the direction F1 side) imaged by the optical system 4 . Furthermore, the capsule medical device 1 includes: an illumination unit 6 for illuminating a subject on the direction F2 side; an optical system 7 for imaging an ...

Embodiment approach 2

[0081] Next, Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described. In the above-mentioned first embodiment, the space between the boards in the built-in parts 15 is maintained by the component holding parts 16 and 17 which are independent from the capsule-shaped case 2, but in the second embodiment, the capsule-shaped case in which a plurality of rigid boards are built-in The body also functions as a substrate gap maintaining unit for maintaining the substrate gap between the plurality of rigid substrates.

Figure 11 yes Figure 10 A-A sectional schematic diagram of the capsule medical device shown. Figure 12 yes Figure 10 B-B sectional schematic diagram of the capsule medical device shown. Such as Figure 10-12 As shown, the capsule medical device 21 according to the second embodiment ha...

Embodiment approach 3

[0103] Next, Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described. In the above-mentioned second embodiment, the wall thickness of the region other than the fitting parts 23a to 23f and 24a to 24f in the cylindrical case 22a is larger than the wall thickness of the fitting parts 23a to 23f and 24a to 24f. In Embodiment 3, the minimum wall thickness region of the case is formed in the case region other than the fitting portions 23a to 23f and 24a to 24f.

[0104] Figure 16 It is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of the capsule medical device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Such as Figure 16 As shown, the capsule medical device 31 according to the third embodiment has a capsule case 32 instead of the capsule case 22 of the capsule medical device 21 according to the second embodiment described above. This capsule-shaped casing 32 has a cylindrical casing 32 a instead of the cylindrical casing 22 a of the capsule m...

Abstract

A capsule medical apparatus includes a plurality of rigid boards on which functional members are mounted; and a plurality of board-separation keeping units that sandwich the rigid boards to keep the rigid boards separated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a capsule medical device to be introduced into an internal organ of a subject such as a patient and a method for manufacturing the same. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in the field of endoscopes, capsule endoscopes having an imaging function and a wireless communication function inside a capsule casing have appeared. The capsule endoscope is introduced into the internal organs of a subject such as a patient by oral ingestion or the like in order to observe the internal organs. After that, the capsule endoscope inside the subject moves inside the internal organs by peristaltic motion, etc., and sequentially captures images of the inside of the internal organs of the subject (hereinafter sometimes referred to as in-vivo images) at predetermined intervals, The obtained in-vivo images are sequentially transmitted wirelessly to the outside. The capsule endoscope inside the subject repeatedly sequentially cap...
