[0040] During defog, the hydraulic pump 15 draws hot water from the water reservoir 16 and pumps the hot water into the heat-conducting sleeve 11, wherein the heat-conducting plate 14 is a metal plate. The heat-conducting plate 14 made of metal can improve the heat conduction efficiency between the hot water and the endoscope lens 300, thereby improving the heating and heat preservation effect of the endoscope lens 300 to prevent the surface of the endoscope lens 300 from condensing and generating water mist due to the low temperature. Afterwards, the hot water in the heat-conducting sleeve 11 is transported back to the water reservoir 16 through the return conduit 13 under the water flow pressure, so that the hot water circulates in the water reservoir 16, the water supply conduit 12, the heat-conducting sleeve 11 and the return conduit 13, and continuously heats and keeps the endoscope lens 300 warm.
