[0029] The present invention will now be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] This invention provides an improved capsule endoscope delivery device. The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a capsule endoscope delivery device includes a main unit system and a proximal handheld drive mechanism 3. The main unit system includes an integrated main unit 2. A signal transmission line 8 for connecting the integrated main unit 2 and the proximal handheld drive mechanism 3 is provided. The integrated main unit 2 includes a fixed housing 201, a water and air circuit 202, an image processor 203, and a power supply 204.

[0032] Additional functional descriptions of the above components or structures: The achievable degrees of freedom include: four-way bending of the distal end endoscope holder and release of the distal capsule endoscope 402.

[0033] Furthermore, the water and gas path 202, the image processor 203, and the power supply 204 are installed on the bottom inner wall of the fixed housing 201. The host system also includes a display 1, which is installed above the fixed housing 201. The image input terminal of the display 1 is electrically connected to the image output terminal of the host system.

[0034] The above structures are all existing technologies, and their working principles will not be explained in detail here.

[0035] Furthermore, the proximal handheld drive mechanism 3 includes a distal capsule endoscope release part 4, a distal bending part 5, a delivery hose 6, and a proximal handheld handle 7, and the proximal handheld handle 7 includes a release locking rod 701, a release push rod 702, a left and right bending dial 703, an up and down bending dial 704, a set screw 705, a bending part traction wire 706, and an operating handle 707.

[0036] Furthermore, one end of the operating handle 707 is mounted on the outer wall of one end of the signal transmission line 8, and a first cylinder coaxial with it is provided on the outer wall of one end of the left and right curved dial 703, and a second cylinder coaxial with it is provided on the outer wall of one end of the up and down curved dial 704. A circular hole is opened on the outer wall of one end of the left and right curved dial 703, and the diameter of the circular hole is the same as the outer diameter of the second cylinder. The circular hole is coaxial with the first cylinder. The first cylinder and the second cylinder are movably installed. The first cylinder passes through one end of the outer wall of the operating handle 707, and the second cylinder forms a rotational engagement with one end of the outer wall of the operating handle 707.

[0037] Furthermore, the top of the operating handle 707 has a sliding hole, and release push rods 702 are slidably installed on the inner walls of both ends of the sliding hole. The outer wall of one side of the operating handle 707 has a handle opening, and a square plate is installed on the inner wall of the handle opening. An installation hole is opened on the outer wall of one side of the square plate. A rotating cylinder is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the installation hole. The outer wall of the rotating cylinder is fixedly connected to the release locking rod 701. A conveying hose 6 is sleeved on one end of the rotating cylinder.

[0038] The aforementioned mechanism, in which the left-right bending dial 703 and the up-down bending dial 704 are coaxially designed, has two traction wires wound around the drive shafts of the left-right bending dial 703 and the up-down bending dial 704 respectively. The other end of the traction wires is mounted on the distal bending section 5. Manually rotating the left-right bending dial 703 and the up-down bending dial 704 controls the steering operation of the bending section 5 and releases the locking lever. Figure 9 The release lever swings around the auxiliary guide mechanism. The release locking lever has a protrusion, and the corresponding operating handle has a groove. Moving the locking lever causes the protrusion to fall into different grooves, thereby releasing or closing the release push rod. This function ensures that the set screw can smoothly release the capsule endoscope when the negative pressure suction is closed.

[0039] Furthermore, the distal bending section 5 includes a curved snake bone 501 and a plurality of curved snake bone traction wires 502. The outer walls of the plurality of curved snake bones 501 are fixed with a plurality of fixing rings. The curved snake bone traction wires 502 pass through the corresponding fixing rings, and the end of the delivery hose 6 away from the rotating cylinder is fixed to one end of the curved snake bone 501.

[0040] By means of the above-mentioned mechanism, the curved snake bone 501 and the curved snake bone traction wire 502 work together to make the entire distal curved part 5 have a certain degree of flexibility.

[0041] Furthermore, the distal capsule endoscope release section 4 includes a hemispherical capsule 401 and a capsule endoscope 402 movably mounted on one side of the outer wall of the hemispherical capsule 401. The hemispherical capsule 401 is mounted at one end of the curved snake bone 501, and a pressure sensor 404 is installed between the hemispherical capsule 401 and the capsule endoscope 402.

[0042] Furthermore, the curved traction wire 706 is wound around the outer wall of the first cylinder, and the two free ends of the curved traction wire 706 are respectively fixed to the outer wall of the hemispherical wrapping bag 401 facing the curved snake bone 501. The curved traction wire 706 is located inside the delivery hose 6 and the curved snake bone 501. The two ends of the top wire 705 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer walls of the hemispherical wrapping bag 401 and the release push rod 702. The top wire 705 is located inside the delivery hose 6 and the curved snake bone 501.

[0043] Furthermore, a camera 403 is installed on the outer wall of the hemispherical encapsulation 401, which is opposite to the curved snake bone 501.

[0044] Using the aforementioned mechanism: the distal capsule endoscope hemispherical capsule 401 is made of silicone-like material and integrates a camera 403. It has a groove at the rear end and two holes at the connection with the four-way bending mechanism, through which signal transmission line 8 and set screw 705 are respectively routed. The capsule endoscope 402 is placed into the groove at the rear end. The hemispherical capsule 401 is pneumatically clamped and can be adapted to different sizes of capsule endoscopes 402, ensuring that it will not fall off during the entire process from the mouth to the esophagus. When the capsule endoscope 402 reaches the designated position, the pneumatic system is turned off and the release locking lever 701 is opened at the same time. The release push lever 702 is pushed, and the release push lever 702 drives the set screw 705 to push the capsule endoscope 402 out of the hemispherical capsule 401.
