Problems solved by technology

This external light source has several significant disadvantages: (1) The power of the external light source is high, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is very low. Most of the input electric power is converted into heat energy. Due to the need for heat dissipation, the noise of the light source host is relatively large. (2) The external light source needs to occupy a certain operating room space, which is a burden for the small operating room; (3) Since the endoscope held by the doctor needs an optical fiber bundle for transmission, it increases the operating time. Inconvenient, slightly larger bending angle of the optical fiber bundle is prone to damage, resulting in attenuation or even failure of illumination, thus increasing the burden on doctors to perform operations
Traditional optical mirrors transmit optical signals through several relay lenses (usually rod mirrors). This transmission method has obvious defects: (1) The high-precision assembly of dozens of relay lenses will significantly improve the quality of endoscope manufacturing. (2) When the optical signal is repeatedly refracted and reflected in the relay lens, the attenuation of the signal light intensity will inevitably occur, and lead to a significant increase in stray light, which will reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of the system, thereby reducing the imaging performance. quality
There is current leakage when the electric knife is working, and there is static electricity on the lens barrel. If the charge breaks through the air and flows to the circuit board of the image sensor, the image sensor PCB board will malfunction or even be damaged. The design of electrostatic isolation is very important for endoscopes. The stability of performance has an important impact on
[0006] Finally, the existing endoscopes have not been popularized in hospitals on a large scale. A large reason is that the cost of using endoscopes is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rigid tube endoscopes, in particular to a medical electronic endoscope with a built-in light source. Background technique [0002] Medical endoscopes enter the closed environment of the human body through natural passages or minimally invasive incisions. A light source is required for illumination and imaging of internal tissues. Surgeons perform corresponding surgical operations through the display screen. Endoscope illumination quality, imaging quality, operation convenience, and system performance stability have an important impact on the success rate of surgery, especially complex surgery. [0003] First of all, the lighting quality of the light source is an important factor affecting the performance of the speculum. Most of the existing endoscopes use an external medical cold light source, usually a halogen lamp that filters most of the infrared spectrum through an infrared filter, and then transmit...
