[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0030] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 4 This application discloses a connector for medical devices. The connector includes a front shell assembly 1, a middle shell assembly 2, a support member 31, and a rear shell assembly 3. The front shell assembly 1 includes a front housing 11, a wireless power supply assembly 12, a wireless transmission assembly, and a snap-fit ​​connector 15. The structure of the wireless power supply assembly 12 is not limited, as long as it enables wireless power supply (sometimes referred to as contactless power supply in the industry). For example, the wireless power supply assembly 12 includes a plastic base shell, hardware components, and an wireless coil. The wireless transmission assembly is used to transmit image signals and / or control signals (sometimes referred to as contactless communication in the industry). The figure illustrates that the wireless transmission assembly includes a contactless wireless optical communication component. In some embodiments, the wireless transmission assembly includes an infrared component for transmitting control signals, etc. The snap-fit ​​connector 15 is detachably assembled with the front housing 11. In the assembled state, the snap-fit ​​connector 15 and the front housing 11 form a receiving space 110. The wireless power supply assembly 12 and the wireless transmission assembly are assembled within the receiving space 110. The wireless transmission components are assembled within the housing space 110, including portions of the wireless transmission components located within the housing space 110 and portions located outside the housing space 110, for example, Figure 5 In the middle, part of the optical communication connector 19 is located outside the housing space.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The structure of the support member 31 is not limited; for example, the support member 31 can be a support frame. The length of the support member 31 extends from the front end of the middle shell assembly (which can also be considered as the snap-fit ​​member 15) to the rear end of the rear shell assembly 3. The support member 31 is assembled with the snap-fit ​​member 15; this assembly can be a fixed assembly or a detachable assembly. One detachable assembly embodiment is as follows: See [link to embodiment]. Figure 6 The rear shell assembly 3 includes a fastener 32. The fastener 32 is located in the receiving space 110, passes through the snap-fit ​​member 15, and is connected to the support member 31 to achieve assembly.

[0033] The middle shell assembly 2 includes a functional connector. The type of functional connector is not limited, for example, Figure 3 The diagram illustrates water supply connector 22, air supply connector 23, suction connector 24, and auxiliary water supply connector 25, etc. However, the functional connectors are not limited to the aforementioned connectors. The rear shell assembly 3 includes a rear shell 30, etc., which is detachably assembled with the support member 31. The support member 31 passes through the middle shell assembly 2, and the middle shell assembly 2 is clamped to the rear shell assembly 3 by the snap-fit ​​member 15 of the front shell assembly 1. After assembly, the connector for the medical device consists of a three-section structure of the front shell assembly 1, the middle shell assembly 2, and the rear shell assembly 3.

[0034] Based on the above components, some assembly relationships of the connector for the medical device are described below:

[0035] After assembling the front shell assembly 1 and the support member 31, the middle shell assembly 2 is placed on the support member 31 and brought closer to the front shell assembly 1. Then, the rear shell assembly 3 is placed on the support member 31 and the rear shell assembly 3 is passed through the tail of the support member 31. The rear shell assembly 3 and the support member 31 are fixed by the fastener, so that the rear shell assembly 3 and the front shell assembly 1 clamp the middle shell assembly.

[0036] The process of disassembling the connector for the medical device is as follows: First, the rear shell assembly 3 is removed from the support 31. After disassembly, the middle shell assembly 2 is not in a clamped state. Then, the middle shell assembly 2 can be removed and disassembled in a direction away from the front shell assembly 1. Then, the front shell 11 of the front shell assembly 1 is disassembled from the snap-fit ​​member 15.

[0037] As described above, based on the disassembly process, the connector for the medical device is fully detachable, easy to maintain, and highly practical. The assembly process is the reverse of the disassembly process; therefore, the shorter disassembly time corresponds to shorter manual assembly time and lower economic costs. Regarding the assembly of the middle shell assembly 2, the middle shell assembly 2 is passed through the support member 31, and after the rear shell assembly 3 is fixed to the support member 31, the middle shell assembly 2 is clamped by the front shell assembly 1 and the rear shell assembly 3 and assembled. The middle shell assembly 2 does not require assembly by adhesives or other methods, making assembly convenient. Finally, the connector for the medical device includes the wireless power supply component 12 and the wireless transmission component. Employing wireless power supply and wireless transmission methods can achieve greater electrical isolation and avoid safety hazards.

[0038] See Figure 5 The front housing 11 includes a front housing front wall 111 and a front housing side wall 112 for forming the receiving space 110. At least the front housing side wall 112 is provided with the wireless power supply assembly 12. In this embodiment, the wireless power supply assembly 12 is disposed on the front housing side wall 112.

[0039] As described above, since the front housing 11 includes a front wall 111 and a side wall 112, it has a larger usable area and can accommodate more wireless power supply components 12. Therefore, with at least the front side wall 112 having the wireless power supply components 12, the energy conversion efficiency and power supply are higher without increasing the maximum profile of the connector for the medical device. Furthermore, placing the wireless power supply components 12 on the front side wall 112 imposes fewer restrictions on appearance and structure compared to placing them on the front wall 111.

[0040] Based on the function of the front housing sidewall 112, its shape is not limited. For example, the front housing sidewall 112 can be a cylinder, a through polygon (such as a polygonal prism or a cuboid), or other shapes. In short, the shape of the front housing sidewall 112 is not limited, as long as it can provide a larger area for assembling more wireless power supply components 12. When the front housing sidewall 112 is a cylinder, and the cylinder is through its own axis, the wireless power supply components 12 can be set on both the circumference of the front housing sidewall 112 and the front housing front wall 111, or the wireless power supply components 12 can be set only on the circumference of the front housing sidewall 112. When the front housing sidewall is a cuboid (including a cube) and extends along its side edges, the front housing sidewall 112 includes a top wall, a bottom wall, a left wall, and a right wall. Combined with the front housing front wall 111, the wireless power supply component 12 can be installed on all five faces. In short, this type of front housing sidewall 112 can have the wireless power supply component 12 installed on at least two faces. The cuboid can be a standard cuboid or a cuboid formed by rounded corners connecting its faces. The aforementioned cylinder and cuboid extend through to form the accommodating space 110.

[0041] As described above, when the front housing sidewall 112 is cuboid and the cylinder extends along its own axis, on the one hand, the medical device connector will be inserted into the main body of the medical device, and the cuboid will not rotate, thus improving the stability of the medical device connector; on the other hand, the cuboid provides more overlapping surfaces for the wireless power supply component 12 to be installed, thereby facilitating wireless transmission, enhancing functionality, achieving more efficient space utilization, and adapting to more complex spatial layouts. When the front housing sidewall 112 is cylindrical and the cylinder extends along its own axis, the manufacturing cost of the cylinder is low. When sealing the front housing component 1, a circular sealing ring (such as the front housing elastomer 16) can be used. The circular sealing ring and the cylinder provide better sealing performance and reduce the risk of seal failure.

[0042] See Figure 3 and Figure 4The snap-fit ​​component 15 includes a mating surface 150 that mates with the middle shell assembly 2, and the mating surface 150 is planar. In a cross-section perpendicular to the insertion direction into the host, the mating surface 150 of the medical device connector has the largest projected area and serves as the maximum projected area cutoff point at the host interface of the medical device. See also... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The dashed line L serves as the cutoff point, with the portion to the left of the dashed line L inserted into the host interface; the portion to the right of the dashed line is located outside the host interface.

[0043] As described above, since the mating surface 150 has the largest projected area and serves as the maximum projected area cutoff point at the host interface of the medical device, the shapes of the middle shell assembly 2 and the rear shell assembly 3 are unrestricted because they are both located outside the host interface of the medical device. This allows for a wider range of design options for the connector used in the medical device. Furthermore, the mating surface 150 is planar and has a regular shape, which facilitates the manufacturing of the snap-fit ​​component 15 and the host interface.

[0044] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 The snap-fit ​​member 15 and the support member 31 can be detachably assembled, for example, by connecting the snap-fit ​​member 15 and the support member 31 through the aforementioned fastener 32, which can be a screw.

[0045] As described above, since the snap-fit ​​member 15 and the support member 31 are detachably assembled, the connector for the medical device can be disassembled more thoroughly, making it easier to repair related components.

[0046] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The front housing 11 includes a front end opposite to the snap-fit ​​member 15. The front end includes the front wall 111 and a portion of the side wall 112 near the front wall 111. Of course, in some embodiments, the front end may only include the front wall 111. The front housing assembly 1 includes a front support member 14. The front support member 14 is disposed opposite to the snap-fit ​​member 15 and abuts against the front end of the front housing. Based on the function of the front support member 14 described later, the front support member 14 can be integrated with the front housing 11 as an insert, or it may not be integrated with the front housing 11. From a purely supportive perspective, the front support member 14 may or may not be attached to the front wall 111 as shown in the figure; its support function is sufficient.

[0047] As described above, the front support member 14 is positioned opposite to the snap-fit ​​member 15 and abuts against the front end of the front housing. The front support member 14 serves as a strength support member, enhancing the strength of the front housing assembly 1.

[0048] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The front shell assembly 1 includes multiple support pillars 13, for example, four support pillars 13. Each support pillar 13 includes a first end 131 and a second end 132. The first end 131 is connected to the front support member 14. This connection can be achieved through a related connection structure or by the support pillar 13 and the front support member 14 being integrally constructed. The front shell assembly 1 includes a locking member 151, which passes through the snap-fit ​​member 15 and locks to the second end 132. When the second end 132 is unlocked from the locking member 151, the receiving space 110 can be opened, that is, the front shell 11 can be disassembled from the snap-fit ​​member 15, thus allowing for the maintenance of relevant components of the front shell assembly 1.

[0049] As described above, with multiple support columns 13, the first end 131 of each support column 13 is connected to the front support member 14, and the second end 132 is connected to the snap-fit ​​member 15 via a locking member 151. Thus, the support column 13 acts as a locking and fixing bridge between the snap-fit ​​member 15 and the front support member 14, which is more conducive to enhancing the strength of the front shell assembly 1. Furthermore, the locking member 151 passes through the snap-fit ​​member 15 and locks to the second end 132. This allows for connection and disassembly of the snap-fit ​​member 15 and the second end 132 by operating the locking member 151 outside the receiving space 110. Consequently, the assembly and disassembly of the front shell assembly 1 are more convenient, and the maintenance of related components of the front shell assembly 1 is easier.

[0050] See Figure 5 The front support member 14 is embedded in the front housing 11.

[0051] As described above, since the front support member 14 is embedded in the front housing 11, and the front support member 14 is connected to the snap-fit ​​member 15 via the support post 13, this connection allows the front housing 11 to easily abut against the snap-fit ​​member 15, facilitating the assembly of the front housing assembly 1. Simultaneously, this embedding also allows the front housing 11, the front support member 14, and the support post 13 to form a single unit. Simply unlocking the second end 132 of the support post 13 from the snap-fit ​​member 15 allows the entire assembly to move away from the snap-fit ​​member 15, opening the receiving space 110. Opening the receiving space 110 is convenient (easy to disassemble), facilitating the maintenance of related components.

[0052] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The front housing 11 includes a front wall 111. The front wall 111 is attached to the front support member 14. There are various ways to achieve this attachment, for example, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5The front support member 14 is wrapped by the ends of the front wall 111 and the side wall 112 of the front housing near the front wall 111 to achieve the aforementioned contact. One function of this contact is to facilitate the locking of the connector with the front support member 14. Therefore, the contact is not limited to the aforementioned embodiment, as long as it achieves the aforementioned function. The connector for the medical device includes a connector head. In this application, the connector head includes a light guide connector 17 and a gas connector 18, that is, the connector head only includes a light guide connector 17 and a gas connector 18, or, in addition to the light guide connector 17 and the gas connector 18, it also includes other connector heads, such as an optical communication connector 19. In short, the number and type of connectors are not limited. The connector head is inserted into the front support member 14 and locked.

[0053] As described above, since the front support member 14 supports the front housing and is in contact with the front wall 111 of the front housing, it has good strength. When the connector is inserted into the front support member 14 and locked, the connector is firmly locked and not easy to loosen, etc.

[0054] The connector for medical devices in this application is, for example, an endoscope light guide connector. Of course, it can also be other connectors that transmit optical signals. Therefore, the connector that is locked with the front support 14 includes a light guide connector 17 and an air connector 18. In some cases, it also includes an optical communication connector 19, etc.

[0055] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The snap-fit ​​component 15 includes a first connecting end 152, which has a snap-fit ​​functional groove. The front shell assembly 1 includes a front shell elastomer 16. The front shell elastomer 16 is, for example, a sealing ring or sealant. The front shell elastomer 16 fills the snap-fit ​​functional groove. The structures of the front shell elastomer 16 and the snap-fit ​​functional groove 1521 are not limited, as long as they cooperate to achieve at least one of the functions of sealing and damping. The first connecting end 152 is inserted into the front shell 11, and the front shell elastomer 16 is clamped between the front shell 11 and the first connecting end 152. In other embodiments, the front shell 11 may also have the snap-fit ​​functional groove, and the front shell elastomer 16 may also fill the snap-fit ​​functional groove, still being clamped between the front shell 11 and the first connecting end 152. In another embodiment, the front housing 11 and the first connecting end 152 may each have a groove. The front housing elastomer 16 is initially located in one groove. After the front housing 11 and the first connecting end 152 are inserted, the two grooves form the snap-fit ​​functional groove, which can also clamp the front housing elastomer 16 between the front housing 11 and the first connecting end 152. In the aforementioned embodiments, the first connecting end 152 is inserted into the front housing 11. In other embodiments, the front housing 11 may be inserted into the first connecting end 152.

[0056] As described above, by providing the front shell elastomer 16, which is clamped between the front shell 11 and the first connecting end 152, a good seal is provided between the front shell 11 and the snap-fit ​​member 15. Furthermore, the front shell elastomer 16 also provides damping, making it less likely for the front shell assembly 1 and the snap-fit ​​member 15 to detach or loosen. Of course, the cooperation between the front shell elastomer 16 and the front shell 11 and snap-fit ​​member 15 can also achieve only one function: sealing or damping.

[0057] See Figure 6 The snap-fit ​​component 15 includes a second connecting end 153, which includes a receiving cavity 1531. The middle shell assembly 2 includes a middle shell 26 and a middle shell elastomer 27. The middle shell 26 includes a middle shell functional groove. The middle shell elastomer 27 fills the middle shell functional groove. The middle shell 26 is inserted into the receiving cavity 1531, and the middle shell elastomer 27 is clamped between the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 1531 (i.e., the second connecting end 153) and the middle shell 26. In other embodiments, the second connecting end 153 may also have the middle shell functional groove, and the middle shell elastomer 27 may also be clamped between the middle shell 26 and the second connecting end 153. Alternatively, the middle shell 26 and the second connecting end 153 may each have grooves, and after the middle shell assembly 2 is assembled with the second connecting end 153, the middle shell elastomer 27 is clamped between the middle shell 26 and the second connecting end 153. Of course, the aforementioned insertion can be as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the middle housing 26 is inserted into the second connecting end 153. In other embodiments, the second connecting end 153 may also be inserted into the middle housing 26.

[0058] As described above, by providing the middle shell elastomer 27, which is clamped between the middle shell 26 and the second connecting end 153, the middle shell elastomer 27 provides a good seal between the middle shell 26 and the snap-fit ​​member 15. Furthermore, the middle shell elastomer 27 also provides damping, making it less likely for the middle shell assembly 2 and the snap-fit ​​member 15 to detach or loosen. Of course, the cooperation between the middle shell elastomer 27 and the middle shell 26 and snap-fit ​​member 15 can also achieve only one of the functions: sealing and damping.

[0059] See Figure 8 The support member 31 includes a limiting groove 311, and there are multiple functional connectors, which are inserted into the limiting groove 311 one by one.

[0060] As described above, the functional connectors are inserted into the corresponding limiting grooves 311, and then assembled with the functional connectors and the middle shell 26 of the middle shell assembly 2, making it difficult for the functional connectors to shake, escape, or vibrate.

[0061] See Figure 7 In this application, all functional connectors are detachable and assembleable, and the disassembly and assembly structures are the same. As shown below, taking the suction connector 24 as an example, the disassembly and assembly are described as follows:

[0062] The middle shell assembly 2 includes a middle shell 26 and an inner shell 21 located within the middle shell 26. The material of the inner shell 21 is not limited. The inner shell 21 includes a resilient arched portion 211. The functional connector includes a base 242 and a connector cap 243; the base 242 abuts against the arched portion 211 and passes through the inner shell 21 and extends out of the middle shell 26. The connector cap 243 is threadedly locked to the portion of the base 242 that extends outward.

[0063] As described above, on the one hand, each of the functional connectors is detachable for easy disassembly and maintenance; on the other hand, the portion of the base 242 that extends through the middle housing 26 is threadedly locked to the connector cap 243. Combined with the elastic arched portion, the threaded locking can stretch the arched portion, thereby making the functional connector more secure and less likely to fall off.

[0064] In some embodiments, the functional connector further includes a connector sealing ring 241. The connector sealing ring 241 is fitted onto the base 242 and abuts against the middle housing 26 to seal the gap between the functional connector and the middle housing. Because the functional connector is firmly fixed, the connector sealing ring 241 is less likely to loosen, thus better sealing the gap between the functional connector and the middle housing 26. In other embodiments, after the connector cap 243 is threadedly connected to the base 242, the functional connector is further sealed with adhesive. This sealing process makes the connection of the functional connector even more secure.

[0065] This application discloses a medical device. The medical device includes an endoscope main unit and any of the aforementioned medical device connectors.
