Endoscope system with self-adaptive adjustment of stiffness and its application

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-adaptive rigidity-adjustable endoscope system. The system comprises a rigidity-adjustable endoscope and a driving device. The endoscope is connected with a monitor and equipped with a sensing device used for collecting information. The sensing device is connected with a back-end processing system with a database. A rigidity adjusting control part is arranged betweenthe back-end processing system and the driving device and used for transmitting adjusting information in two directions. The self-adaptive rigidity-adjustable endoscope system can collect and monitorstate information of the endoscope in a real-time manner, which is convenient for observation and diagnosis. The rigidity adjusting control part is used for sending a regulation and control instruction and reporting back and performing conditions in order to correct a regulation and control instruction. Self-adaptive closed-loop control of the rigidity of the endoscope is achieved. The self-adaptive rigidity-adjustable endoscope system is convenient to adjust and highly operable and helps relieve the discomfort of a patient. Self-adaptive process evaluation is adopted and a correction factor is generated. In combination with the actual application, regulation and control parameters are continuously optimized. The next self-adaptive control quality is optimized, which further improves maneuverability of the endoscope system and enhances the experience feeling of the patient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical operation instruments, in particular to an endoscope system for self-adaptively adjusting stiffness and its application. Background technique [0002] In the medical field, endoscopes are widely used as detection instruments for medical diagnosis. They consist of a flexible insertion part, a light source and a set of lenses. They enter the stomach through the mouth or enter the body through other natural channels, and X-rays can be seen. For lesions that cannot be displayed, doctors can observe the internal conditions of the human cavity with the help of an endoscope, and formulate the best treatment plan accordingly. [0003] At present, endoscopes with a certain degree of flexibility are widely used. The hardness and softness of the insertion part of the endoscope is affected by the manufacturing materials used. If the insertion part is too hard, it is easy for the operator to manipulate and control, but ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, endoscopes with a certain degree of flexibility are widely used. The hardness of the insertion part of the endoscope is affected by the material used. If the insertion part is too hard, it will be easy for the operator to manipulate and control, but it will cause serious damage to the patient. Discomfort, great damage to the human cavity, if the insertion part is soft, the operation is not flexible enough, it is difficult to insert in the direction of the target, and it is not easy to operate and perform surgery, so an endoscope with adjustable hardness and softness is needed

For example, the patent CN201420559926.X "Endoscope" discloses an endoscope with a certain rigidity adjustment range, but limited by the adjustment range, the degree of improvement in maneuverability and patient experience is not large, and the problem cannot be fundamentally solved , and it is impossible to observe the state of the endoscope in the human cavity in real time, the operator can only adjust the stiffness based on experience, which is not conducive to the operator to quickly master the adjustment method, and it is easy to increase the discomfort of the patient and the risk of surgery in the process of familiarizing with the adjustment method
