[0070] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0071] See also Figure 1 The first embodiment of the present application provides an endoscope 100a. The endoscope 100a comprises: a body 10a, a first hose 20, a disinfection assembly 30a, a camera module 40 and a communication module 50. The camera module 40 and the communication module 50 are both disposed in the body 10a.

[0072] See also Figure 2 The body 10a includes a proximal end 101 and a distal end 102. The distal end 102 can be used to align the endoscope 100a with the pet's wound when entering the pet's body. The proximal end 101 and the distal end 102 are arranged opposite to each other and connected to the first hose 20. The body 10a is provided with a receiving cavity (not shown) for accommodating the camera module 40 and the communication module 50.

[0073] The camera module 40 may be, for example, a miniature camera. The camera module 40 is disposed near the distal end 102 and is used to collect image signals from the pet. In the embodiment of the present application, the distal end 102 is made of a transparent material, such as glass. Thus, when the distal end 102 is aimed at the wound of the pet, the camera module 40 can clearly capture the image of the wound through the distal end 102.

[0074] The communication module 50 is connected to the camera module 40 and is used to transmit the image signal collected by the camera module 40 through a line (not shown), and the line can be set in the first hose 20 to lead to the outside of the pet's body.

[0075] Please also read Figure 1 and Figure 2 The disinfection assembly 30a includes a fixing member 60a, a second hose 70, a liquid storage tube 80, a strap 90, a driving member 31 and a liquid storage tank 32.

[0076] The fixing member 60a is disposed on the side of the body 10a, and a receiving portion 62 is provided on a side of the fixing member 60a close to the distal end 102, and the receiving portion 62 is used to receive the end of the liquid storage tube 80 close to the proximal end 101. A through hole 61 is provided on a side of the fixing member 60a close to the proximal end 101, and the through hole 61 is used to receive the end of the second hose 70 close to the proximal end 101. The through hole 61 and the receiving portion 62 are connected in the fixing member 60a, so that the second hose 70 is connected to the liquid storage tube 80.

[0077] The liquid storage tube 80 is used to store liquid for cleaning wounds in pets, such as disinfectant. One end of the liquid storage tube 80 is disposed in the accommodating portion 62, and the other end is disposed corresponding to the distal end 102, and is provided with a plurality of liquid outlet holes (not shown), which are used to spray liquid outward. Thus, when the distal end 102 is aligned with the wound of the pet, the liquid storage tube 80 can be used to spray liquid, such as disinfectant, outward through the liquid outlet holes, thereby cleaning or disinfecting the wound of the pet.

[0078] It is understood that the second hose 70 can be matched with the through hole 61, and the liquid storage tube 80 can be matched with the accommodating portion 62 in a variety of ways. For example, the inner wall of the accommodating portion 62 is provided with an internal thread (not shown), and the side wall of the liquid storage tube 80 at one end away from the liquid outlet is provided with an external thread (not shown) that matches the internal thread.

[0079] It can be understood that the liquid storage tube 80 can be disassembled and installed by detachably connecting the liquid storage tube 80 to the second hose 70. The liquid storage tube 80 can be used as a consumable material, for example, and only a new liquid storage tube 80 needs to be replaced each time the wound is cleaned or disinfected if the amount of liquid required is not large.

[0080] The strap 90 is sleeved on the body 10a and the liquid storage tube 80. Specifically, a first groove 81 is formed around the side wall of the liquid storage tube 80. A second groove 11a is formed on the side of the body 10a away from the fixing member 60a. The side of the strap 90 in contact with the liquid storage tube 80 is arranged in the first groove 81, and the side of the strap 90 in contact with the body 10a is arranged in the second groove 11a. It can be understood that by providing the strap 90, it is possible to prevent the liquid storage tube 80 from being fixed to the body 10a unstably due to the end of the liquid storage tube 80 extending out of the accommodating portion 62 being too long.

[0081] The driving member 31 can be, for example, a manual pressure airbag or an electric air pump, etc., which is not limited here. The driving member 31 is connected to the second hose 70, for example, connected to the end of the second hose 70 away from the through hole 61. The driving member 31 is connected to the liquid storage tube 80 through the second hose 70, and the liquid in the liquid storage tube 80 is sprayed out from the liquid outlet by pressurizing. It can be understood that by opening the liquid outlet and adding the driving member 31, the pressure of the liquid during spraying can be increased, so that the range of the liquid is farther, and at the same time, a better cleaning effect can be achieved.

[0082] In this embodiment, the liquid storage tank 32 is connected to the second hose 70, for example, connected to the end of the second hose 70 away from the through hole 61. The liquid storage tank 32 is connected to the liquid storage tube 80 through the second hose 70. The liquid storage tank 32 is used to replenish liquid in the liquid storage tube 80.

[0083] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by providing the fixing member 60 a , the liquid storage tube 80 and the main body 10 a can be inserted into the pet's body together, and the wound can be cleaned under the guidance of the camera module 40 .

[0084] It can be understood that the liquid storage tube 80 is also provided with a one-way valve (not shown) near the liquid outlet to prevent the liquid or gas in the pet's body from entering the liquid storage tube 80 .

[0085] Please also read Figure 3 The second embodiment of the present application provides another endoscope 100b. The endoscope 100b includes a body 10b, a first hose 20, a disinfection assembly 30b, a camera module 40 and a communication module 50. The disinfection assembly 30b includes a driving member 31, a liquid storage tank 32, a fixing member 60b, a second hose 70, a liquid storage tube 80 and a strap 90.

[0086] In the second embodiment, the endoscope 100 b differs from the endoscope 100 a in that the endoscope 100 b further includes a linear motor 13 and a controller 14 .

[0087] The linear motor 13 and the controller 14 are arranged in the accommodating cavity of the body 10b. For example, the linear motor 13 is arranged on a side of the accommodating cavity close to the proximal end 101. The output end 131 of the linear motor 13 is arranged toward the distal end 102. The controller 14 is electrically connected to the linear motor 13 and the communication module 50. The controller 14 can control the output end 131 of the linear motor 13 to extend and retract after receiving the instruction of the communication module 50.

[0088] It can be understood that in the second embodiment, the difference between the endoscope 100b and the endoscope 100a also lies in that the structure of the body 10b is different from that of the body 10a, and the structure of the fixing member 60b is different from that of the fixing member 60a.

[0089] For details, please refer to Figure 4 A slide groove 12 is provided on the side wall 103 of the body 10b along the length direction of the body 10b. A connecting rod 63 is provided on the side of the fixing member 60b close to the body 10b, and the connecting rod 63 is provided corresponding to the slide groove 12. Specifically, the connecting rod 63 can pass through the slide groove 12 and slide in the slide groove 12.

[0090] In addition, one end of the connecting rod 63 away from the fixing member 60b is fixedly connected to the output end 131 of the linear motor 13. Thus, when the output end 131 of the linear motor 13 is extended, the fixing member 60b can be driven to move toward the distal end 102, and when the output end 131 of the linear motor 13 is retracted, the fixing member 60b can be driven to move toward the proximal end 101.

[0091] It can be understood that by controlling the fixing member 60b to move between the proximal end 101 and the distal end 102, the liquid storage tube 80 on the fixing member 60b can be extended and retracted, that is, the liquid storage tube 80 is extended to the distal end 102 away from the fixing member 60b or retracted in the opposite direction. In this way, the spraying direction of the liquid in the liquid storage tube 80 can be adjusted to clean the wound in the pet's body more flexibly.

[0092] It can be understood that in the second embodiment, the structure of the second groove 11b provided on the body 10b is also different from the structure of the second groove 11a provided on the body 10a in the first embodiment. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the length of the slide groove 12 along the length direction of the body 10b (i.e., along the X-axis direction) is defined as a first length L1 (see Figure 4 The width of the second groove 11b along the length direction of the body 10b (ie, along the X-axis direction) is defined as a second length L2 (refer to Figure 3 ), the second length L2 is less than or equal to the first width L1. It can be understood that by setting the length of the second groove 11a to be greater than the length of the slide 12, the side of the strap 90 contacting the second groove 11a can move synchronously during the movement of the liquid storage tube 80, so as to ensure that the strap 90 can be stably sleeved on the liquid storage tube 80 and the body 10b.

[0093] Please refer again Figure 3In this embodiment, a baffle 64 is further provided in the accommodation cavity. The baffle 64 is sleeved on the connecting rod 63 and is provided at the end of the connecting rod 63 close to the fixing member 60b, and is used to prevent external liquid or gas from entering the accommodation cavity of the body 10b through the slide groove 12. The length of the baffle 64 along the Z-axis direction is greater than the length of the slide groove 12 along the Z-axis direction. Figure 4 As shown, the length of the baffle 64 along the length direction of the body 10b (i.e., along the X-axis direction) is defined as a third length L3, and the third length L3 is greater than or equal to twice the first length L1, so as to ensure that even when the connecting rod 63 moves to both ends of the slide groove 12, the baffle 64 can still completely cover the slide groove 12. Further, a silicone sheet 641 is provided between the side of the baffle 64 close to the fixing member 60b and the side wall 103 of the body 10b. It can be understood that the provision of the silicone sheet 641 makes the blocking effect of the baffle 64 better.

[0094] Understandable, please refer to Figure 5 The present application also provides an endoscope system 1000, which includes an endoscope 100c, a processing module 200 and a display module 300. The endoscope 100c may be the endoscope 100a in the first embodiment or the endoscope 100b in the second embodiment, which will not be described in detail.

[0095] The endoscope 100c, the processing module 200 and the display module 300 are electrically connected in sequence. The processing module 200 is used to receive the image signal transmitted by the camera module 40 in the endoscope 100c, and process the image signal to obtain an image. The processing module 200 can be, for example, a computer. The display module 300 is used to display the image obtained after being processed by the processing module 200. The display module 300 can be, for example, a display.

[0096] In summary, the endoscope system 1000 has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0097] 1. By providing the fixing member 60a / 60b, the liquid storage tube 80 and the main body 10a / 10b can be inserted into the pet's body, and the wound can be cleaned under the guidance of the camera module 40.

[0098] 2. By opening the liquid outlet hole and adding the driving member 31, the pressure of the liquid during spraying can be increased, so that the range of the liquid is longer and a better cleaning effect can be achieved.

[0099] 3. By detachably connecting the liquid storage tube 80 to the second hose 70 , the liquid storage tube 80 can be disassembled and installed, and the liquid can be replenished by replacing the liquid storage tube 80 .

[0100] 4. Through the cooperation of the linear motor 13 and the fixing part 60b, the liquid storage tube 80 can be extended away from one end of the fixing part 60b or retracted in the opposite direction, thereby adjusting the spraying direction of the liquid in the liquid storage tube 80 to clean the wound in the pet's body more flexibly.

[0101] 5. By setting the second length L2 of the second groove 11b to be greater than or equal to the first length L1 of the slide groove 12, the side of the strap 90 contacting the second groove 11a can move synchronously when the liquid storage tube 80 moves, thereby ensuring that the strap 90 can be stably mounted on the liquid storage tube 80 and the main body 10b.

[0102] 6. By providing the baffle 64, it is difficult for external liquid or gas to enter the accommodating cavity of the main body 10b through the slide groove 12.

[0103] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above implementation modes are only used to illustrate the present application and are not used as limitations on the present application. As long as they are within the essential spirit of the present application, appropriate changes and modifications made to the above embodiments should fall within the scope of protection claimed in the present application.
