Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a medical device, in particular to an endoscope capsule and an assembling method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Wireless capsule endoscopes are increasingly used to examine patients for digestive tract diseases. Their structure generally consists of an image acquisition module, signal processing module, battery, radio frequency module, and antenna integrated into a capsule core via a bracket, which is then mounted within a capsule shell. For example, the wireless capsule endoscope disclosed in CN208659309U employs a relatively simple assembly method. The electronic components, including the image acquisition module, signal processing module, and radio frequency module, are mounted on at least two PCBs, connected by flexible components such as FPCs. A battery is located between the two PCBs via a spring to provide power.

[0003] However, existing assembly structures can cause poor power supply to the PCB due to spring failure or insufficient preset spring force, or assembly errors can leave the capsule unused while the battery is dead. Furthermore, because the FPC is a soft material, extreme care must be taken during assembly to prevent it from being squeezed or twisted, which could lead to poor contact, short circuits, or broken wires, significantly reducing production efficiency.

[0004] Furthermore, during assembly, the PCB will bounce, making it difficult to assemble the capsule shell, thus impacting production efficiency. Similarly, disassembly is also difficult due to the PCB's bounce, making repairs difficult. To prevent this, the capsule shell and optical front cover are designed to hold the PCB down during assembly. However, since the dimensional accuracy of PCBs is typically within ±0.1 mm, assembly errors can be significant, making it difficult to hold the PCB down. This directly leads to low product yields and reduced production efficiency.

[0005] On the other hand, adhesives will be used during assembly, which makes the assembly process complicated and further reduces production efficiency.

[0006] Therefore, those skilled in the art are committed to developing an endoscopic capsule that is simpler to manufacture. Summary of the Invention

[0054] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples:

[0055] A method for assembling an endoscope capsule comprises the following steps:

[0057] 1a) providing a first PCB board, a second PCB board, a third PCB board, a fourth PCB board, and a fifth PCB board connected in sequence via an FPC; the third PCB board is connected to an antenna board via the FPC;

[0058] A C-shaped first bracket is provided; the first bracket is a thin-walled, through-hole structure with a partition disposed in the middle; one surface of the partition has a third PCB board limiting component and an antenna board limiting component; the limiting height of the antenna board limiting component is less than the limiting height of the third PCB board limiting component; the other surface of the partition has a second PCB board limiting component;

[0059] A cylindrical second bracket is provided; one end of the second bracket has a limiting component in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction, and the other end has a limiting component in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction;

[0060] 1b) Install the battery in the second bracket; springs 13 are provided on both end surfaces of the battery;

[0061] 1c) The third PCB is installed into one end of the second bracket and is limited by the limiting components in the X, Y and Z directions of the end;

[0062] 1d) Pass the FPC between the third PCB and the fourth PCB from one end of the second bracket to the other end;

[0063] 1e) The fourth PCB is installed into the other end of the fixing bracket and is limited by the limiting components in the X direction, Y direction, and Z direction of the other end.

[0064] 1f) Snap the third PCB board's limiting component into the third PCB board;

[0065] 1g) Folding the antenna board into the first bracket and snapping the antenna board into the antenna board limiting component;

[0066] 1g) Snap the second PCB into the second PCB limiting component;

[0067] 2) Assemble the capsule

[0068] 2a) inserting the capsule core into the shell and axially limiting the capsule core;

[0069] 2b) Installing a cover body on the fifth PCB board and the fourth PCB board; an end of the cover body abuts against the fourth PCB board, and the end has a radial dimension extending to a pressing position of the outer shell connection portion; and the optical front cover is pressed against the pressing position and then engaged with the outer shell;

[0070] 2c) Installing a cover body on the first PCB board and the second PCB board; an end of the cover body abuts against the second PCB board, and the end has a radial dimension extending to a pressing position of the shell connection part; and the optical front cover is pressed against the pressing position and then matched with the shell.

[0071] like Figure 1As shown, the above assembly method can be implemented using an endoscope capsule, which includes a shell 12, with an optical front cover 1 fitted at both ends. A capsule core is disposed within the shell 12. A light panel cover 2 is disposed at the junction of the shell 12 and the optical front cover 1. The end faces of the light panel cover 2 at both ends abut against the PCB boards at both ends of the core. A camera hole 2-1a is disposed in the middle of the light panel cover 2. The edges of the ends of the light panel cover 2 are provided with protruding pressing portions 2-4, which are pressed by the end faces of the shell 12 and the optical front cover 1.

[0072] Since the lamp panel cover parts are made of molds, the accuracy of the pressing position can reach plus or minus 0.01mm, which far exceeds the accuracy of the PCB. This can improve production efficiency and reduce the defective rate in the production process.

[0073] The end of the lamp panel cover 2 is provided with a positioning column 2-5. During assembly, the positioning column 2-5 is snapped into the corresponding PCB board so that the PCB board of the capsule core no longer bounces upward to achieve Z-direction positioning and rotational positioning.

[0074] The top is provided with a hole 2-2. The hole 2-2 is set according to the number and size of the light sources, so that except for the light sources and the lens, other electronic components are covered by the light panel, thereby improving the integrity of the capsule and making it more beautiful.

[0075] The light panel cover 2 is provided with a light shielding ring 2-3 on the inner side of the air-avoiding hole 2-2, so that the light from the light source will not directly hit the lens, thereby preventing optical defects such as blurred lens imaging and reflection.

[0076] The shell 12 is a cylindrical shell with two ends open. Two parallel first limiting ribs 12-3 are axially arranged on the inner wall of the shell 12. The length of the first limiting ribs 12-3 is the same as that of the shell, so they can also play a guiding role when installing the capsule core.

[0077] One end of the first limiting rib 12-3 is provided with a radially extending limiting block 12-3a, and the first limiting end surface 12-3b inside the limiting block 12-3a corresponds to the PCB board outside the capsule core. Therefore, the limiting block 12-3a will limit the limit position of the capsule core inserted into the shell.

[0078] A second limiting rib 12-2 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 12, opposite the first limiting rib 12-3, extending axially from the end surface 1a of the housing 12 to the middle of the housing 12. The second limiting end surface 12-2a at the inner end of the second limiting rib 12-2 corresponds to the end surface H of the first support of the capsule core. Therefore, the second limiting rib 12-2 limits the maximum position of the first support end surface H.

[0079] A thickening block 12 c is integrally provided at the end of the housing 12 , and a margin notch 12 b is provided at the end of the thickening block 12 c .

[0080] The capsule core includes a battery 7 and a first PCB 9, a second PCB 3, a third PCB 5, a fourth PCB 8, and a fifth PCB 14, which are sequentially connected via an FPC 17. The third PCB 5 is connected to the antenna board 4 via the FPC. The third PCB 5 has a first positioning and mounting hole 5a, the second PCB 3 has a second positioning and mounting hole 3a, and the antenna board 4 has a third positioning and mounting hole 4a.

[0081] A first camera 15 and a second camera 16 are respectively provided on the second PCB board 3 and the fourth PCB board 8 .

[0082] The second PCB board 3 and the antenna board 4 are fixed by the first bracket 11, and the third PCB board 5 and the fourth PCB board 8 are fixed by the second bracket 6. The first PCB board is mounted on the first camera 15, and the fifth PCB board 5 is mounted on the second camera 16.

[0083] The battery 7 is disposed between the third PCB board 5 and the fourth PCB board 8 .

[0084] The first bracket 11 has an overall C-shaped structure. A spacer 11-7 is positioned in the middle of the first bracket 11. Two first posts 11-3 are positioned opposite each other on one side of the spacer 11-7, and two second posts 11-4 are positioned opposite each other on the other side of the spacer 11-7. Conical strong releases 11-2 are positioned at the ends of the first and second posts 11-3 and 11-4.

[0085] The second PCB board 3 is inserted into the first column 11 - 3 and fixed by the strong release 11 - 2 ; the third PCB board 5 is inserted into the second column 11 - 4 and fixed by the strong release 11 - 2 of the column.

[0086] A third column 11-5 is also provided on one side of the spacer 11-7. The height of the third column 11-5 is shorter than the first column 11-3 provided on the same side. A conical column buckle 11-6 is provided at the end of the third column 11-5. The center of the third column 11-5 coincides with the center of the circle of the spacer 11-7.

[0087] The antenna board 4 is inserted into the third column 11 - 5 ; an antenna pressing plate 10 is provided on the upper portion of the antenna board 4 and is inserted into the third column 11 - 5 ; the antenna pressing plate 10 is fixed by a column buckle 11 - 6 .

[0088] The central angle corresponding to the spacer 11-7 is greater than 180°, that is, the spacer 11-7 is designed to have a larger area than the standard semicircle, so as to facilitate better installation of the PCB board and a larger design space for the third column 11-5.

[0089] The first column 11 - 3 and the second column 11 - 4 are integrally provided with the first bracket 11 . The ends of the first column 11 - 3 and the second column 11 - 4 extend out of the end surface of the first bracket 11 .

[0090] The second bracket 6 includes a cylindrical body 100, one end of which is provided with an X-axis stopper and a Y-axis stopper 110. The Y-axis stopper is integrally provided with a first Z-axis stopper 108. The end face of the third PCB board 5 away from the battery 7 is limited by the first Z-axis stopper 108.

[0091] In other specific implementations, a first Z-direction gear position may also be provided on the X-direction gear position to achieve substantially the same technical effect.

[0092] When the PBC is mounted on this bracket, the flexible printed circuit board (FPC) will bend in the Z-axis and radial directions. To protect the FPC from breaking or cracking, relief notches 10-7 are provided along the Z-axis at both ends of the body 100. These relief notches 10-7 are trapezoidal in shape, with the openings near the ends larger than those near the waist. This allows for quick and easy disassembly for maintenance.

[0093] The other end of the body 100 is provided with an X-axis stop and / or a Y-axis stop; a second Z-axis stop 109 is integrally provided on the X-axis stop and / or the Y-axis stop. The end surface of the fourth PCB board 8 away from the battery 7 is limited by the second Z-axis stop 109.

[0094] The X-direction gears at one end of the body 100 include a first X-direction gear 101, a second X-direction gear 102, and a third X-direction gear 103. The first X-direction gear 101 and the second X-direction gear 102 are located on both sides of the avoidance gap 10-7, and the third X-direction gear 103 is located on the other side of the avoidance gap 10-7.

[0095] The Z-direction height of the third X-direction shift position 103 is greater than the Z-direction heights of the first X-direction shift position 101 and the second X-direction shift position 102 .

[0096] The X-axis positions at the other end of the body 100 include a fourth X-axis position 104, a fifth X-axis position 105, a sixth X-axis position 106, and a seventh X-axis position 107. The fourth and fifth X-axis positions 104 and 105 are located on either side of the clearance gap 10-7; the sixth and seventh X-axis positions 106 and 107 are located on the other side of the clearance gap 10-7. A second Z-axis position 109 is integrated with the X-axis positions at this end. This end can achieve fixed left and right positions in the X and Z directions, while the Y direction can be omitted. However, for a more secure fixation, a Y-axis position can also be added to achieve the desired effect.

[0097] Since the Z-direction stop is a barbed hook structure, in order to prevent the first Z-direction stop from being deformed or broken when the PCB is clamped downward, a clearance gap 10-4 is provided on both sides of the Y-direction stop.

[0098] The outer surface of the body 100 is provided with anti-fouling ribs 10-8 along the Z direction. Therefore, after the capsule core is placed in the capsule shell, the capsule core will not rotate. Once the capsule core rotates, it may cause power failure and the performance of the capsule will be affected.

[0099] Obviously, by adopting the above structure and method for assembly, the designed height can be obtained between the upper and lower parts of the antenna plate 10 and the electronic components, the installation and disassembly are simple, the production efficiency is high, and the signal of the endoscope capsule is stable.

[0100] The above describes in detail the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concepts of the present invention without inventive effort. Therefore, any technical solutions that can be derived by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation based on the concepts of the present invention and the prior art should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
