Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure belongs to the field of fluorescence endoscopic imaging technology, specifically relating to an endoscopic imaging device and method with a protective positioning structure. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information relating to this disclosure and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Fluorescence endoscopy is a common method for examining the internal organs of the body. After the fluorescence endoscope is inserted into the body, an imaging device is needed to observe the internal structure. However, conventional imaging devices have some drawbacks in their use, such as:

[0004] Firstly, when the device is in use, if the fluorescent endoscope is inserted into the human body through the cavity, the person may experience vomiting due to physical discomfort, which may cause saliva and other liquids to splash out. When the liquid splashes onto the imaging device, since there is no way to protect the device, it may easily contaminate the imaging device and cause damage to the device.

[0005] Secondly, traditional imaging devices are handheld, which makes it inconvenient to quickly position and fix the device on the table. Therefore, when using it, one hand is needed to fix the device, which means it can only be operated with one hand, which is not conducive to the use of the device. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this disclosure proposes an endoscopic imaging device and method with a protective positioning structure. This structure can protect the device from liquid splashing onto the display screen and is simple in structure, easy to use, and conducive to operation.

[0007] In a first aspect, this disclosure provides an endoscopic imaging device with a protective positioning structure, including: a frame, an endoscope, a baffle, a storage mechanism, a display screen, and a support mechanism;

[0008] A display screen is installed on the top surface of the frame, an endoscope is installed on one side of the frame, and a support mechanism is connected to the bottom surface of the frame.

[0009] A storage mechanism is installed on one side of the display screen. The storage mechanism is slidably connected to one end of the baffle. The storage mechanism is used to install the baffle on the front side of the display screen or store it at the bottom of the display screen.

[0010] The bottom end of the baffle has an adsorption structure, which is used to attach and fix the baffle to the bottom of the display screen.

[0011] Secondly, this disclosure provides a method for operating an endoscopic imaging device with a protective positioning structure, including:

[0012] The rack is installed in the designated area using a support mechanism;

[0013] The baffle is installed on the front side of the display screen through a storage mechanism;

[0014] An endoscope is inserted into the human body for examination, and the image from the endoscope is observed on a display screen. If the person undergoing the endoscopy vomits, a baffle protects the display screen.

[0015] After use, the baffle is stored at the bottom of the display screen using the storage mechanism.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this disclosure has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This disclosure employs a storage mechanism mounted on one side of the display screen. The storage mechanism is slidably connected to one end of a baffle. The storage mechanism is used to install the baffle on the front side of the display screen or to store it at the bottom of the display screen. The bottom end of the baffle has an adsorption structure for attaching and fixing the baffle to the bottom of the display screen. When the device is in use, if liquid splashes from a person's mouth, the baffle can protect the device from splashing onto the display screen. When the device is not in use, the baffle can be rotated to store it at the bottom of the display screen, thereby reducing the device's area and facilitating its use.

[0018] 2. The support structure adopted in this disclosure includes a fixing mechanism and a limiting mechanism. The fixing mechanism includes a connecting rod, a piston ring, and a suction cup. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting rod, a second spring, and a limiting groove. When the device is in use, the suction cup is attached to the table surface. Then, the piston ring is moved upward by moving the connecting rod, thereby reducing the air pressure inside the suction cup and fixing the suction cup. After that, the limiting rod extends to fix the limiting rod, preventing the piston ring from moving and thus preventing the device from moving. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an endoscopic imaging device with a protective positioning structure, including: a frame, an endoscope, a baffle, a storage mechanism, a display screen, and a support mechanism;

[0031] A display screen is installed on the top surface of the frame, an endoscope is installed on one side of the frame, and a support mechanism is connected to the bottom surface of the frame.

[0032] A storage mechanism is installed on one side of the display screen. The storage mechanism is slidably connected to one end of the baffle. The storage mechanism is used to install the baffle on the front side of the display screen or store it at the bottom of the display screen.

[0033] The bottom end of the baffle has an adsorption structure, which is used to attach and fix the baffle to the bottom of the display screen.

[0034] In one implementation, the frame is the main structure of the device. The endoscope is a fluorescence endoscope 2, and the front of the frame 1 is connected to the fluorescence endoscope 2 for easy observation. The fluorescence endoscope 2 is placed inside the human body to observe the internal structure and determine whether there are any problems with the body. The upper end of the frame 1 is rotatably connected to a display screen 3. The cross-section of the display screen 3 is rectangular, and a fixing column 4 is rotatably connected inside the display screen 3.

[0035] In one embodiment, the frame includes a frame body and fixing blocks. The fixing blocks are mounted on the upper and lower surfaces of the frame body. There are two fixing blocks, symmetrically arranged and mounted at both ends of the lower surface of the frame body, facing each other. Each fixing block has a mounting hole for mounting a support mechanism. Specifically, two fixing blocks 8 are symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the frame 1, and a support mechanism is rotatably connected to the inner sides of the two fixing blocks 8.

[0036] In one embodiment, the front side of the display screen has mounting holes, and a storage mechanism is installed within the mounting holes. The storage mechanism has two ends located at opposite ends of the front side of the display screen, each connected to a baffle. The storage mechanism includes a fixing post 4, a first spring 5, and a slider 6. The fixing post rotatably mounts within the mounting holes of the display screen; one end of the fixing post 4 is connected to one end of the first spring 5, and the other end of the first spring 5 is connected to the slider 6. One side of the baffle has a groove, and the slider 6 is installed within the groove, allowing the baffle to slide in connection with the storage mechanism. One end of the fixing post is spherical, and the other end is cylindrical.

[0037] The adsorption structure is made of magnetic material and can be a first magnet. The bottom of the display screen has a structure that cooperates with the first magnet, which can be made of iron or a second magnet, the magnetic poles of the second magnet being different from those of the first magnet.

[0038] Specifically, the rear of the fixing post 4 is spherical, and the front end of the fixing post 4 is cylindrical. One end of the fixing post 4 is connected to a first spring 5. The front end of the fixing post 4 and the first spring 5 are located inside the slider 6. The fixing post 4 and the slider 6 form a telescopic structure. Two sliders 6 are provided, and one end of the slider 6 is located inside the baffle 7. The slider 6 and the baffle 7 are slidably connected. When the baffle 7 is in normal use, since one end of the slider 6 is fixed to the baffle 7, the first spring 5 will drive the slider 6 and the baffle 7 to move backward, thereby making the baffle 7 contact the display screen 3. When the display screen 3 and When the baffle 7 comes into contact, the friction force on the baffle 7 increases. At the same time, the lower end of the baffle 7 is magnetic, so the baffle 7 and the display screen 3 attract each other, further preventing the baffle 7 from moving. When the device is finished, the baffle 7 is moved downward. At this time, the baffle 7 will slide inside the slider 6. When the baffle 7 moves to the bottom, the fixing post 4 is rotated, which drives the baffle 7 to rotate, so that the baffle 7 fits against the bottom of the display screen 3. Since one end of the baffle 7 is magnetic, it will attract the display screen 3, thus fixing the baffle 7.

[0039] In one embodiment, the display screen 3 is the imaging device of the apparatus, located above the frame 1. A baffle 7 is provided on the front side of the display screen 3 to protect it. The baffle 7 is easy to rotate and store. During the detection process, when liquid splashes out due to phenomena such as vomiting, the baffle 7 can block the display screen 3, thereby protecting the display screen 3 and preventing damage to the display screen 3.

[0040] In one embodiment, the support structure includes a support column and a base plate. One end of the support column is connected to the frame, and the other end is detachably connected to the base plate. This detachable structure allows the support structure to be in a handheld or fixed state. When in the handheld state, the support column is separated from the base plate; when in the fixed state, the support column is connected to the base plate. Specifically, the support column is detachably connected to the base plate via a mounting bracket. The base plate 17 is located below the mounting bracket 16, and its lower end is connected to a suction cup 21 for easy positioning and fixing of the device. The suction cup 21 facilitates positioning and fixing of the base plate 17 and the table surface, preventing the device from moving.

[0041] The support structure also includes a fixing mechanism and a limiting mechanism. The fixing mechanism is installed inside the base plate and is used to fix the base plate to a set area. The limiting mechanism is installed inside the support column and is used to limit the fixing mechanism, so that the fixing mechanism is in a fixed state and an active state. The fixed state is the state in which the fixing mechanism fixes the base plate to the set area, and the active state is the state in which the fixing mechanism does not fix the base plate to the set area.

[0042] In one embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes a connecting rod, a piston ring, and a suction cup. The suction cup is installed in a mounting hole in the base plate, and the piston ring is installed inside the suction cup. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the piston ring, and the other end of the connecting rod is provided with a locking structure. The locking structure is used to cooperate with a limiting mechanism to limit the connecting rod. The position of the piston ring on the suction cup is adjusted by adjusting the height of the connecting rod, thereby making the suction cup either in a fixed adsorption state or a non-adsorption state. The fixed adsorption state is when the suction cup is attached to a set area, and the air inside the suction cup is removed, causing the suction cup to adhere to the set area. The non-adsorption state is when the suction cup is not adhered to the set area. Specifically, there are two connecting rods 19, which pass through the base plate 17. The end of the connecting rod 19 is connected to a piston ring 20, which is located inside the suction cup 21. The suction cup 21 is symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the base plate 17. The suction cup 21 is pressed against the ground, and then the connecting rod 19 is moved to make the piston ring 20 move upward. At this time, the air pressure inside the suction cup 21 decreases, and the external gas presses against the suction cup 21, thereby fixing the device. When the connecting rod 19 moves to the upper end, the second spring 13 pushes the limiting rod 14 to extend. At this time, the connecting rod 19 enters the interior of the limiting rod 14, and the limiting rod 14 limits the connecting rod 19 to prevent it from moving downward, thereby fixing the device.

[0043] Specifically, the connecting rod is a U-shaped rod, which includes a horizontal section in the middle and two vertical sections at both ends. Each end of the two vertical sections is provided with a piston ring, which is installed inside the suction cup. During installation, the U-shaped rod is set with its opening facing downwards. The vertical sections at both ends of the U-shaped rod pass through the bottom plate, and the horizontal section in the middle of the U-shaped rod is located above the bottom plate. The horizontal section in the middle of the U-shaped rod is limited by a limiting mechanism.

[0044] In one embodiment, a limiting mechanism is installed inside the support column. The limiting mechanism is used to limit the connecting rod of the suction cup, so that the suction cup maintains suction to fix the device. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting rod 14, a second spring 13, and a limiting groove connected in sequence. One end of the limiting rod is provided with a locking block 15. The second spring is installed in the limiting groove. A limiting groove is opened on one side of the support column. The limiting groove is provided with a slide 10, a guide channel 11, and a limiting channel 12. One side of the slide 10 is provided with a guide channel 11. One end of the slide 10 has a second spring mounting groove, in which the second spring is installed. The guide channel is slidably connected to the locking block. One end of the guide channel is provided with a limiting channel, which is used to limit the locking block. The guide channel 11 houses a locking block 15, which can move radially within the guide channel and circumferentially within the limiting channel. Specifically, by pushing the connecting rod along the sliding 10 a set distance, rotating the connecting rod by a set angle causes the locking block 15 to enter the limiting channel, which then limits the locking block and keeps the limiting rod in a fixed position. When the suction cup is in a fixed adsorption state, i.e., after the connecting rod is raised to a set height, rotating the limiting rod by a certain angle causes it to extend a set distance under the action of a second spring, engaging the end of the limiting rod with the connecting rod, thus limiting the height of the connecting rod and ensuring that the internal pressure of the suction cup remains constant, maintaining a fixed adsorption state. The end of the limiting rod has a C-shaped structure, which engages the middle crossbar of the connecting rod within the C-shaped structure. The second spring pushes the limiting rod out, limiting the connecting rod. The locking block and the guide channel are slidably connected, while the locking block and the limiting channel are rotatably connected. The limiting channel is annular. The locking block is limited by guide rails and limit rails to prevent the limit rails from moving. The limit rod is limited by a slide rail, and the locking block is limited by limit rails and guide rails, thereby increasing the stability of the device.

[0045] Specifically, the longitudinal section of the support column 9 is T-shaped, and the upper two sides of the support column 9 are made of rubber material. A slide rail 10 is provided inside the support column 9, and a guide channel 11 is provided at the upper end of the slide rail 10. A limiting channel 12 is connected to the side of the slide rail 10, and the ends of the limiting channel 12 and the guide channel 11 are connected. The slide rail 10, the limiting channel 12, and the guide channel 11 are symmetrically arranged inside the support column 9. The slide rail 10 can limit the limiting rod 14, while the limiting channel 12 and the guide channel 11 can limit the locking block 15, thereby facilitating the use of the device. The slide 10 is equipped with a second spring 13, one end of which is connected to a limit rod 14. The limit rod 14 and the slide 10 are slidably connected. The upper end of the limit rod 14 is equipped with a locking block 15. The outer side of the limit rod 14 is arc-shaped, and a connecting rod 19 is engaged inside the limit rod 14. The locking block 15 is slidably connected to the guide channel 11, and the locking block 15 and the limit channel 12 are rotatably connected. The limit channel 12 is circular. When the device is not in use, after the limit rod 14 is moved to the inside of the slide 10, the locking block 15 will also move into the end of the guide channel 11 along with the movement of the limit rod 14. Then, the limit rod 14 is rotated so that the locking block 15 enters the interior of the limit channel 12. The limit channel 12 limits the locking block 15, thereby preventing the locking block 15 and the limit rod 14 from moving. When the device is finished using, it is returned to its original position, at which time the second spring 13 pushes the limit rod 14 to extend.

[0051] After use, the baffle is stored at the bottom of the display screen using the storage mechanism.

[0052] Specifically, when using this endoscopic imaging device with a protective positioning structure, the fluorescent endoscope 2 is inserted into the human body for detection, and then the human body is observed through the display screen 3. The baffle 7 can protect the display screen 3 to prevent liquid from splashing onto the display screen 3 during vomiting.
