Endoscope having automatic positioning and viewing unit

Abstract

The invention discloses an endoscope having an automatic positioning and viewing unit. The viewing unit is connected to a top end of a handle through an automatic positioning unit. The automatic positioning unit comprises a control module, a plurality of shafts connected between the viewing unit and the handle, and a driving module for controlling the action of the shafts. The viewing unit is provided thereon with a sensor capable of detecting the spatial orientation of the viewing unit. An output end of the sensor and an input end of the driving module are connected to the control module, respectively. The invention detects the spatial orientation of the viewing unit by using the sensor, the spatial orientation information is inputted into the control module for being processed, and the control module controls the shafts to rotate through the driving module according to difference of set initial spatial orientation information and changed spatial orientation information, so as to make the viewing unit restore the initial spatial orientation, ensure the facing direction of the viewing unit not vary with swinging of the handle, and greatly facilitate observation and diagnosis of operators.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention mainly relates to an endoscope, especially an endoscope with an automatic positioning peeping device. Background technique [0002] An endoscope is a tube equipped with a light source, which can peek into the internal conditions of the human body or object through the natural channel, and is widely used in the medical field and industrial field. As a medical device, medical endoscope is inserted into various cavities inside the human body to peep into the internal organ lesions of the human body, which plays an important role in clinical observation and diagnosis. In the current existing market, medical endoscopes can be divided into fiber endoscopes and electronic endoscopes. Fiber endoscope observes and diagnoses the disease by directly aligning the eyes with the mirror. In the process of observing and diagnosing this kind of endoscope, it is often due to the poor quality of the transmitted picture and the inability to record. Replace...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In the process of actual observation and diagnosis, the orientation of the peeping device is often changed due to the change of the orientation of the handle, and finally the operator needs to change the viewing angle with the change of the orientation of the peeping device, and the entire peeping process is quite inconvenient
