Embodiment Construction

[0038] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0039] refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 A first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0040] Such as figure 1 As shown, the endoscope 1 of the present embodiment is configured to include an elongated insertion portion 2 , an operation portion 3 provided continuously from the proximal end of the insertion portion 2 , and a universal cable 4 extending from the side of the operation portion 3 .

[0041] The insertion part 2 is comprised so that the front-end|tip part 2a, the bending part 2b, and the flexible tube part 2c may be provided successively in this order from a front-end|tip side. An imaging device (not shown) having an imaging element is incorporated in the front end portion 2 a. The bending portion 2b is configured to be bendable in, for example, up, down, left, and right directions. The flexible tube portion 2c has flexibility and is formed i...

Abstract

An endoscope comprises: an operation portion configured to include a grasping portion provided in an extending direction of an insertion axis of an insertion portion which is provided with a distal end portion, a bending portion and a flexible tube portion connected in series, the distal end portion provided with an image pickup device for picking up an object image, the bending portion being bendable with a plurality of bending pieces connected in series, the flexible tube portion elongated and having flexibility, and an operation portion body provided in an extending direction of an longitudinal axis of the grasping portion and having a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the grasping portion; at least one pair of pulling members that extend from bending pieces constituting the bending portion and led into the operation portion, and cause the bending portion to bend by relative movement; a pulley that is provided inside the operation portion and around which the pulling members are wound in the same direction; a motor that is provided at the operation portion and rotates the pulley, around which intermediate portions of the pulling members are wound, in a pulling direction; an operation element that is provided to protrude from the operation portion body and has a shaft portion tiltable with respect to the operation portion body; a hanging frame that is provided at the shaft portion of the operation element and comprises attachment portions to which the at lest one pair of pulling members led into the operation portion are fixedly provided respectively, the attachment portions opposed to each other with the operation element therebetween; and an attachment path setting member that is provided inside the operation portion and leads the plurality of pulling members that are wound around the pulley and led out, to the attachment portions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an endoscope and medical equipment capable of bending a bending part provided in an insertion part by moving a traction member by performing a tilting operation to change a tilting direction and a tilting angle with respect to an operating member provided in an operating part operate. Background technique [0002] In recent years, endoscopes having elongated insertion portions have been used in the medical and industrial fields. In an endoscope in the medical field, observation and the like can be performed by inserting an insertion portion into the body from the oral cavity, anus, or the like. On the other hand, in an endoscope in the industrial field, observation can be performed by inserting an insertion portion into a pipe of a boiler, the inside of an engine, or the like. [0003] Generally, in an endoscope, in order to orient the observation optical system provided at the distal end of the insertion portion in a...
