Since the cable 70 and the optical cable 60 are integrated into a whole through the composite wire harness 100 when entering the insertion tube, the cable 70 and the optical cable 60 are prevented from being wound and knotted outside the insertion tube when the endoscope is used, and the operation efficiency is improved. Meanwhile, when cleaning, only the composite wire harness 100 needs to be cleaned, the cleaning difficulty is reduced, and the cleaning efficiency is improved.

[0062] The cable 70 is provided with an aviation head interface at one end, and the one end of the cable 70 is connected with a video processing and display device; the end of the cable 70 close to the insertion tube is interconnected with an electrical signal interface inside the endoscope device through a power signal interface and a high-speed signal interface, so as to supply power for a lens module of the endoscope. The cable 70 comprises, from outside to inside, an outer sheath 71, a braided shielding layer 73, and a core wire 75, wherein the core wire 75 comprises an electronic wire 751 and a video signal wire 753. The outer sheath 71 of the cable 70 and the outer sheath 61 of the optical cable 60 have the same material and function, and are both outer insulation protective layers; the braided shielding layer 73 is an electromagnetic shielding structure of the electronic wire 751; and the core wire 75 is used for electrical signal transmission. When the cable 70 penetrates into the inside of the endoscope, the outer sheath 71 of the cable 70 is removed.
[0063] The composite wire harness 100 integrates the optical cable 60 and the cable 70 of the endoscope into one whole before entering the insertion tube through the composite tube 10, the wire inlet joint 20, and the wire outlet joint 30, optimizes the wiring mode of the optical cable 60 and the cable 70 before entering the insertion tube, and only one composite wire harness 100 penetrates into the insertion tube when a medical staff holds the endoscope to operate, so that the optical cable 60 and the cable 70 are prevented from being wound and knotted on the outside of the insertion tube, and the convenience of operation is improved.
[0064] In an embodiment, when the optical cable 60 and the cable 70 are fixedly connected with the wire inlet joint 20, the fixed connection can be directly achieved in a close-fitting manner; in other embodiments, when the optical cable 60 and the cable 70 are fixedly connected with the wire inlet joint 20, the optical cable 60 and the cable 70 can be subjected to sheath removal treatment at the fixed position of the wire inlet joint 20, so as to achieve firm connection of the optical cable 60 and the cable 70 with the wire inlet joint 20.
[0065] Reference Figure 3In an embodiment of the present application, the incoming line joint 20 comprises an incoming line head body 21, the incoming line head body 21 is provided with a cable inlet 211 and an optical cable inlet 213, the cable inlet 211, the optical cable inlet 213 and the wire hole 215 are detachably connected with a clamping head 23, and each clamping head 23 respectively fixes the cable, the optical cable 60 and the composite pipe 10 with the incoming line head body 21.
[0066] The first sealing sheath 25 is wrapped on the surface of the incoming line head body 21, and the first sealing sheath 25 is in sealing abutment with the outer surfaces of the cable 70, the optical cable 60 and the composite pipe 10 respectively.
[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, the cable inlet 211 and the optical cable inlet 213 are independently arranged, that is, the cable inlet 211 and the optical cable inlet 213 are two different interfaces, the incoming line head body 21 is a three-way structure, and the cable 70 and the optical cable 60 respectively extend into the incoming line head body 21 through two different interfaces, so that the cable inlet 211 and the optical cable inlet 213 can be sealed respectively to improve the reliability of the sealing.
[0068] The wire hole 215 and the optical cable inlet 213 are respectively located at two ends of the length direction of the incoming line head body 21, so that the damage of the optical cable 60 caused by excessive bending when being fixed in the incoming line head body 21 can be avoided. The cable inlet 211 is perpendicular to the length direction of the incoming line head body 21, so that the wiring of the optical cable 60 and the cable 70 before entering the incoming line head body 21 is facilitated, so that the optical cable 60 and the cable 70 are respectively connected with the cold light source device and the video processing device. The incoming line head body 21 is a metal piece to improve the strength of the structure. Each clamping head 23 can be connected with the incoming line head body 21 through a threaded structure or a buckle connection, and each clamping head 23 ensures the reliability of the connection between the cable 70, the optical cable 60 and the composite pipe 10 and the incoming line head body 21.
[0069] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present application, the central axis of the wire hole 213 and the central axis of the optical cable inlet 213 are arranged in a same line, the central axis of the cable inlet 211 and the central axis of the optical cable inlet 213 are arranged at an angle, the diameter of the cable 70 is smaller than the diameter of the optical cable 60, and the distance between the cable inlet 211 and the optical cable inlet 213 is greater than 3mm.
[0070] In an embodiment of the present application, the angle between the cable inlet 211 and the optical cable inlet 213 is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees, the central axes of the cable inlet 211 and the optical cable inlet 213 can be horizontally arranged, or the central axis of the cable inlet 211 is vertically arranged and the central axis of the optical cable inlet 213 is horizontally arranged. The diameter of the cable 70 is smaller than the diameter of the optical cable 60.
[0071] The wire hole 213 and the optical cable inlet 213 are respectively located at two ends of the length direction of the incoming line head body 21, and the central axis of the wire hole 213 and the central axis of the optical cable inlet 213 are arranged in a line, so that the situation that the optical cable 60 is damaged due to excessive bending when being fixed in the incoming line head body 21 can be avoided. The diameter of the cable 70 is smaller than the diameter of the optical cable 60, so that, after the cable 70 and the optical cable 60 are combined, the offset of the central axis of the optical cable 60 from the wire hole 213 is reduced, and the bending degree of the optical cable 60 is reduced. The distance between the optical cable inlet 213 and the cable inlet 211 refers to the minimum distance between the optical cable inlet 213 and the cable inlet 211 in the hollow structure inside the incoming line head body 21, and the distance can be 3 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, etc. By setting the minimum distance between the optical cable inlet 213 and the cable inlet 211 to be greater than 3 mm, the situation that the optical cable 60 is excessively bent when the cable 70 and the optical cable 60 are combined can be reduced, and the situation that the optical cable 60 is damaged due to excessive bending can be avoided. It can be understood that the greater the minimum distance between the optical cable inlet 213 and the cable inlet 211, the smaller the bending degree of the optical cable 60.
[0072] In an embodiment, when the clamping head 23 is connected to the incoming line head body 21 through the threaded structure, at this time, the outer sheaths of the cable 70 and the optical cable 60 can be stripped, so that the shielding layers of the wires are exposed, and the shielding layers of the wires can be extruded during the screw locking process, so as to realize the compression and fixation of the shielding layers and the incoming line head body 21.
[0073] Each clamping head 23 can be formed by injection molding, and the outer surface of the clamping head 23 is formed with a plurality of recesses or protrusion structures arranged at intervals, which can improve the bonding strength between the clamping head 23 and the first sealing sheath 25. The first sealing sheath 25 can be made by injection molding or rubber vulcanization process and has elasticity. The shape of the first sealing sheath 25 is similar to that of the incoming line head body 21, and the first sealing sheath 25 is also formed as a tee structure similar to the structure of the incoming line head body 21, and the inner diameters of the openings of the first sealing sheath 25 are all smaller than the outer diameters of the cable 70, the optical cable 60 and the composite pipe 10, so that the first sealing sheath 25 can be tightly attached to the surfaces of the cable 70, the optical cable 60 and the composite pipe 10, and has good sealing and waterproof performance.
[0074] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In an embodiment of the present application, the cross section of the composite pipe 10 is elliptical, and the cable 70 and the optical cable 60 are arranged side by side in the wire routing space, or the cross section of the composite pipe 10 is circular, and the inner wall surface of the composite pipe 10 is provided with a total shielding layer 11. The cable 70 is stripped in the wire routing space, and the core wires 75 of the cable 70 are arranged around the outer periphery of the optical cable 60.
[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, the cross section of the composite tube 10 can have various shapes, for example, the cross section of the composite tube 10 is elliptical, at this time, the composite tube 10 is flat, at this time, the cable 70 and the optical cable 60 can be arranged side by side in the wiring space, which is beneficial to the flat design of the composite wire harness 100. When the cross section of the composite tube 10 is elliptical, the cable 70 does not need to be stripped in the wiring space, at this time, the total shielding layer 11 does not need to be arranged on the inner wall surface of the composite tube 10.
[0076] In an embodiment, when the cross section of the composite tube 10 is circular, at this time, the outer sheath 61 and the woven shield of the cable 70 are stripped, and each core wire 75 after stripping is not bound and can be arranged in the wiring space, at this time, each core wire 75 in the cable 70 can be arranged around the outer periphery of the optical cable 60, so as to reduce the cross section size of the composite tube 10. Since the outer sheath 71 and the woven shield of the cable 70 are stripped, at this time, the total shielding layer 11 needs to be arranged on the inner wall surface of the composite tube 10 to wrap the stripped cable 70, so as to realize the shielding of the electrical signal.
[0077] Referring to Figure 6 In an embodiment of the present application, the outgoing terminal 30 comprises:
[0078] The outgoing terminal body 31, the through line channel 311 penetrates through the two end surfaces of the outgoing terminal body 31 in the longitudinal direction, and the outgoing terminal body 31 is further provided with a connecting through line channel 311 fixing hole 313 close to one end of the incoming terminal 20, at least part of the outgoing terminal is inserted into the through line channel 311, and the composite tube 10 passes through the fixing hole 313 and abuts against the surface of the composite tube 10, so as to be fixed with the outgoing terminal body 31; and
[0079] The second sealing sheath 34 is wrapped around one end of the outgoing terminal body 31 close to the incoming terminal 20 and abuts against the outer surface of the composite tube 10 in a sealed manner;
[0080] The through line channel 311 is filled with glue and sealed away from one end of the incoming terminal 20.
[0081] In the technical scheme of one embodiment of the present application, the outlet head body 31 is a metal piece to improve the strength of the structure. The outlet head body 31 is generally in a columnar structure, and the wire passing channel 311 penetrates through two opposite end faces of the outlet head body 31. The cross-sectional size of the wire passing channel 311 gradually increases from the end close to the incoming wire joint 20 to the end away from the incoming wire joint 20, and the cross-sectional size of the end of the wire passing channel 311 close to the incoming wire joint 20 is relatively small to facilitate the fitting of the composite pipe 10. The inner diameter of the end of the wire passing channel 311 away from the incoming wire joint 20 is relatively large to facilitate the independent movement of the cable 70 and the optical cable 60 through the wire passing channel 311. The outlet head body 31 is provided with a fixing hole 313 connected to the wire passing channel 311, and a connecting piece such as a screw or a pin penetrates through the fixing hole 313 and abuts against the surface of the composite pipe 10 to fix the composite pipe 10. The screw locking mode improves the reliability of the connection between the composite pipe 10 and the outlet head body 31.
[0082] In one embodiment, an insulating pad 33 can also be arranged between the outer circumferential surface of the composite pipe 10 and the inner wall surface of the wire passing channel 311. The insulating pad 33 can be deformed when the connecting piece is locked with the composite pipe 10 to avoid damage to the composite pipe 10 caused by extrusion of the connecting piece. At the same time, the insulating pad 33 also improves the reliability of the connection between the composite pipe 10 and the outlet head body 31.
[0083] The second sealing sheath 34 can be made by injection molding or rubber vulcanization process and has elasticity. The second sealing sheath 34 is in a sleeve structure, and the opening of the second sealing sheath 34 is smaller than the outer diameter of the composite pipe 10, so that the second sealing sheath 34 can be tightly attached to the surface of the composite pipe 10 to have good sealing and waterproof performance. Moreover, since the second sealing sheath 34 has elasticity, it can also achieve the protection of the composite pipe 10 against bending and torsional force. The end of the outlet head body 31 away from the incoming wire joint 20 is filled with potting glue, and the use of potting pieces for sealing can improve the waterproof performance.
[0084] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present application, the outlet joint 30 further comprises a fixing ring 32 arranged in the wire passing channel 311. The outer ring of the fixing ring 32 abuts against the inner wall surface of the wire passing channel 311, and the cable 70 and the optical cable 60 pass through the inner ring of the fixing ring 32 and extend out of the wire passing channel 311.
[0085] In the technical scheme of one embodiment of the present application, the fixing ring 32 is a magnetic ring. On the one hand, the magnetic ring can improve the reliability of the cable 70 and the optical cable 60 in the wire passing channel 311.
