Device for capturing miniature image

Abstract

The invention provides a device for capturing a miniature image, which comprises an image capturing module, a light source module and a flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board comprises a first device area, a first external connected lath, a second device area, a second external connected lath and a first bridge connected lath, wherein the second device area is bent toward the direction of the first device area by the first bridge connected lath, and is directly superposed under the first device area; an active electric element is arranged in each device area; and the first external connected lath and the second external connected lath which are connected into a whole smoothly are connected to a first non-installation part of the first device area and the second device area and a first installation part with a first group of passive electric elements. The device for capturing the miniature image is reduced to the minimum dimension by separating cabling space required by the device area by the external connected lath and reducing the installation space required by the device areas. The flexible circuit board also can comprise more than two device areas and auxiliary elements thereof.

Description

field of invention [0001] The invention relates to a miniature image capture device, in particular to a small endoscope device which can be discarded after use. Background technique [0002] With the development of medical technology, the average life expectancy of modern people has generally been extended, and the development of medicine has shifted from treating existing diseases to preventing possible future lesions, so as to improve the quality of personal life in the future. It is very important for a modernized society. [0003] The basic structure of an endoscope is a long and thin flexible tube containing an image detection device. In medical inspection, the tube is inserted into the organ of the subject, and the image detection at the end of the tube is controlled by a driving device. The measuring device obtains anatomical digital images of different organs in the body cavity from different directions and transmits them to an external display, allowing doctors to ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The above-mentioned existing endoscope structure is connected between the hard printed circuit boards with flexible cables and used to fold the connected circuit boards, but the circuit board must be reserved to provide flexible cable welding needs The diameter of the endoscope cannot be reduced to less than 5 mm due to the limited space, and after the circuit board is folded, a device area of ​​about 30 mm that cannot be bent will be formed, which greatly limits the range of motion of the endoscope. It can be discarded due to its low cost, but due to the limitation of the diameter and lens length of the endoscope, it cannot be used to observe the bronchiole or the narrower respiratory structure and other organs of young children compared to adults. The bottleneck that endoscopic technology is facing is difficult and cannot be broken through
