Endoscope with sterilization function and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides an endoscope with a sterilization function. The endoscope comprises a controller, an illumination light source, an ultraviolet source and an imaging system, wherein the illumination light source, the ultraviolet source and the imaging system are connected with the controller and are controlled by the controller; the structure is simple; the imaging system obtains human body internal tissue images, so that the lesion examination is convenient; ultraviolet light generated by the ultraviolet source can achieve a sterilization effect on the human body internal tissues to kill harmful microbes and treat tissue infection; the use is convenient and fast. A control method of the endoscope with the sterilization function comprises the following steps of performing starting-up; performing examination; controlling the illumination light source and the imaging system to work by the controller; obtaining tissue images of each region of tissues to be examined by the imaging system; controlling the ultraviolet source to perform the radiation on the tissues in the infection region by the controller; turning off the endoscope after the examination is completed. The infection tissues examined by the endoscope can be subjected to ultraviolet radiation; the examination and the infection tissue sterilization can be completed in one step; the sterilization by additional sterilization equipment is not needed; the operation is simple and convenient; the time is saved; the examination and sterilization efficiency is high; only the infection tissues are sterilized; safety and reliability are realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, and in particular relates to an endoscope with a sterilizing function and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] An endoscope is a commonly used medical device, including wires, lighting sources, imaging systems, and controllers. The imaging system includes a camera and a monitor. The camera includes an imaging lens, an image sensor, etc. When used, the endoscope The front end is introduced into the organ to be inspected in the human body (such as the stomach) through the natural orifice of the human body (such as the mouth, nose, anus, etc.) or a small incision made by surgery, and the illuminating light emitted by the illumination source shines through the front end cover of the endoscope to the internal tissue of the human body, reflected by the internal tissue of the human body, the reflected illumination light returns to the front end of the endoscope, and the im...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Existing endoscopes have no bactericidal function and cannot kill harmful microorganisms in the body

When ultraviolet light enters the imaging system, it will produce aberration or interference, which will affect the color, clarity and three-dimensional layering of the image obtained by the imaging system
