Capsule endoscope

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a capsule endoscope. The capsule endoscope comprises a spherical shell, a machine core and a balancing weight, wherein the machine core is arranged in the spherical shell and can freely move in the spherical shell, the balancing weight is arranged in the spherical shell, is fixedly connected with the machine core, and can freely move in the spherical shell. According to the capsule endoscope, the machine core can be kept in the fixed direction, the situation that imaging is affected due to the fact that a lens on the machine core is tightly attached to the inner wall of the visceral organ when the capsule endoscope is turned over is avoided, examination operation is convenient, operation and guarding by professionals are omitted, and a patient can move freely; and moreover, there is no need to use the capsule endoscope in conjunction with any external magnetic control equipment, thereby lowering the manufacturing cost and the use cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a capsule endoscope. Background technique [0002] When the capsule endoscope is inspecting the intestinal tract, because the intestinal tract is relatively slender, the capsule endoscope is designed in the shape of an ordinary capsule, which can keep the long axis of the capsule in the intestinal tract in line with the direction of the intestinal tract, and move along with the intestinal peristalsis While taking images of the gut. However, when inspecting hollow viscera such as the stomach, due to the large space of the viscera, the capsule endoscope moves irregularly in the cavity, and the lens of the capsule endoscope cannot observe the inner wall of the viscera well. The direction of the captured images is disorderly, and it is often difficult for medical staff to judge the location and direction of the photographs based on the pictures. [0003] In order to sol...

Problems solved by technology

However, the use of this capsule endoscope with an external magnetic device requires the medical department to set up a fixed examination room to place the equipment, and professional operators to operate the equipment to carry out the examination. Patients need to be examined in the examination room, which greatly improves The use threshold of capsule endoscopy is lowered, and the production cost of in vitro magnetic control equipment is relatively high, which will increase the overall cost of capsule endoscopy and ultimately affect the cost of capsule endoscopy.
