Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical devices, and more particularly to an integrated endoscopic device. Background Technology

[0002] Endoscopes, as observational instruments, are used during surgery to monitor the surgical process, photograph the surgical site, and acquire image information. However, current endoscopes have difficulty observing deeper parts of the body, such as tunnel-shaped cavities and areas with accumulated organs and tissues. Observation often requires using clamps to separate the organs and tissues before inserting the endoscope. Furthermore, for areas with densely packed organs, multiple clamps are needed to separate the organs and tissues for insertion. This process involves numerous instruments, requires multiple surgeons, and is cumbersome, leading to a higher error rate. Additionally, the clamps can easily puncture organs, causing secondary injuries to the patient. Furthermore, injuries sustained during surgery can result in poor postoperative recovery and prolonged recovery time. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the drawbacks of using multiple clamps for surgery on deeper parts of the patient's body, which leads to cumbersome procedures, high error rates, and secondary injuries caused by surgical instruments, resulting in poor postoperative recovery and long recovery times, this invention provides an integrated endoscopic device.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: an integrated endoscopic device, comprising an imager, a handle, and a button; the imager is connected to the handle; the handle is provided with a button; it also includes an endoscope, an observer, and a dilator; an endoscope for insertion into the human body and easy to disassemble is provided on the front side of the handle; the endoscope consists of a connecting seat, an inlet tube, and a tip; a dilator for opening up internal organs and tissues is connected to the front side of the endoscope, the dilator is composed of several support plates arranged in a ring array, and the outer surface of each support plate is an arc surface; an observer for observing the internal condition of the human body is provided on the front side of the dilator; a camera for observation during surgery is provided on the observer; a supplementary light device for illumination during observation is provided on the observer.

[0005] More preferably, each support plate edge in the expander has a curved surface.

[0006] More preferably, it also includes a cleaning system; the cleaning system includes a nut sleeve, a screw, and a scraper; the nut sleeve is movably disposed on the front side of the inlet tube; the screw is movably disposed on the observer; and a scraper for cleaning the observer is movably connected to the front side of the screw.

[0007] More preferably, the blade of the scraper is curved.

[0008] More preferably, the nut sleeve and the screw are engaged only when the expander is about to expand to its limit position.

[0009] More preferably, it also includes a first elastic element and a second elastic element; a limiting block for limiting the range of movement of the screw is fixedly connected to the screw; an active cavity for the movement of the limiting block is provided inside the observer; a first elastic element for the screw to reset after extension and retraction is fixedly connected to the middle of the screw, and the first elastic element is located inside the active cavity; a second elastic element for the scraper to reset after movement is fixedly connected to the front side of the screw; and the second elastic element is fixedly connected to the scraper.

[0010] More preferably, it also includes an electromagnet; an electromagnet for attracting the screw is fixed inside the nut sleeve.

[0011] More preferably, it also includes a locking system, which includes a locking device and a locking rod; a locking device is fixed to the front side of the nut sleeve rod to prevent the scraper from causing secondary injury to the patient; and a locking rod is fixed to the screw rod to prevent the scraper from causing secondary injury to the patient.

[0012] More preferably, it also includes a protective membrane; the outside of the expander is provided with a protective membrane to prevent human tissue fluid from entering the expander.

[0013] More preferably, it also includes support blocks; each support plate in the expander has a support block fixed to its outer surface for supporting the protective film.

[0014] The beneficial effects are: the present invention enables the opening of internal organs and tissues that are difficult to open with existing clamps by using a spreader, which helps to reduce the damage to internal organs and tissues caused by existing clamps during surgery.

[0015] The support plate with a rounded outer surface of the expander prevents the expander from puncturing internal organs and tissues when expanding and opening them, thus avoiding secondary injury to the patient and ensuring the patient's safety during surgery.

[0016] By using a curved edge for each support plate in the expander, the edges of the support plates are prevented from scratching the internal organs and tissues when the expander is used to open them up, thus avoiding secondary injury to the patient and reducing the risk of surgery on deeper parts of the body.

[0017] When the screw is turned and tightened into the nut sleeve, it drives the scraper to rotate, preventing human tissue fluid from adhering to the supplementary light device and camera, which would result in insufficient light and obstruction of the camera during surgical observation, making it impossible to observe the surgical situation, thus helping to ensure the normal progress of the surgery.

[0018] The scraper blade is curved, which is adapted to the curvature of the surface of the fill light and the camera. This helps to enhance the cleaning effect on the fill light and the camera, and avoids incomplete cleaning, which may result in partial shadows on the image of the imaging device during surgical observation. This helps to ensure that the surgery can proceed normally.

[0019] When the expander is about to expand to its limit, the nut sleeve and screw are connected to initially prevent human tissue from getting entangled on the scraper, avoid secondary damage to the patient during the operation, and ensure the patient's safety during the operation.

[0020] The screw is fixed inside the nut sleeve by an electromagnet to prevent secondary injury to the patient caused by the scraper due to failure of the first driving component, which helps to ensure the safety of the patient during surgery.

[0021] The locking rod rotates along with the screw and engages in the locking device, preventing secondary injury to the patient caused by the scraper due to malfunction of the first driving component and electromagnet, thus ensuring the patient's safety during surgery.

[0022] By wrapping the expander with a protective film, the body's tissue fluid is prevented from entering the expander during surgical observation, which would make it difficult to clean the expander area after surgery. At the same time, it prevents the expander from puncturing internal organs and tissues when it is opened, thus ensuring the patient's safety during surgery.

[0023] The protective membrane is supported by support blocks, making it polygonal, which helps to avoid secondary damage to the patient caused by surgical instruments at the end of the operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0040] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figures 3-7 As shown, an integrated endoscope includes an imager 1, a handle 2, and a button 3; the handle 2 is connected to the imager 1; the button 3 is provided on the handle 2; the imager 1 is controlled to capture images by the button 3 on the handle 2.

[0043] It also includes an endoscope 4, an observer 5, and a dilator 6; the endoscope 4 is located on the front side of the handle 2; the endoscope 4 consists of a connecting seat, an inlet tube 4001, and a head end 4002; the dilator 6 is connected to the front side of the endoscope 4, and the dilator 6 consists of several support plates arranged in a ring array, with each support plate having an arc-shaped outer surface; the observer 5 is located on the front side of the dilator 6; a camera 5001 is installed on the observer 5; a supplementary light 5002 is installed on the observer 5; when it is necessary to perform surgical observation on deeper parts of the human body, due to the limited space inside the human body, it is impossible to use the existing clamps to hold the patient in place. When internal organs and tissues are opened, the endoscope 4 and the observer 5 cannot observe them deeply. By driving the observer 5 to move to the head end 4002 of the endoscope 4, the dilator 6 is driven to open up the internal organs and tissues that are difficult to open with the existing clamps. This is beneficial for reducing damage to internal organs and tissues by the existing clamps when performing surgery in deeper parts of the human body. At the same time, the support plate with a rounded outer surface prevents the dilator 6 from puncturing internal organs and tissues when opening them up, thus avoiding secondary injury to the patient and ensuring the patient's safety during the operation.

[0044] It also includes a drive assembly; the drive assembly includes a first drive member 101 and a connecting rod 102; two left-right symmetrical first drive members 101 are provided on the front side inside the inlet tube 4001, the first drive member 101 is an electric push rod; the telescopic end of the first drive member 101 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 102; the connecting rod 102 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the observer 5; the first drive member 101 drives the connecting rod 102 and the observer 5 to move towards the head end 4002 of the endoscope 4, thereby causing the expander 6 to expand.

[0045] Each support plate edge in the expander 6 is an arc-shaped surface 6001; this prevents the support plate edges from scratching the internal organs and tissues when the expander 6 expands and opens them, thus avoiding secondary injury to the patient and reducing the risk of surgery on deeper parts of the body.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 8-11As shown, it also includes a cleaning system; the cleaning system includes a nut sleeve 202, a screw 203, and a scraper 205; the nut sleeve 202 is movably disposed on the front side of the inlet tube 4001; the screw 203 is movably disposed on the observer 5; the scraper 205 is movably connected to the front side of the screw 203; when the expander 6 expands and opens up the internal organs and tissues, the observer 5 moves towards the head end 4002, thereby driving the screw 203 and the scraper 205 to move towards the nut sleeve 202, thereby making... The screw 203 contacts the nut sleeve 202, causing the screw 203 to rotate and be screwed into the nut sleeve 202. During the rotation, the screw 203 drives the scraper 205 to rotate, which scrapes away the liquid adhering to the supplementary light device 5002 and the camera 5001. This prevents human tissue fluid from adhering to the supplementary light device 5002 and the camera 5001, which would result in insufficient light during surgical observation and obstruction of the camera 5001, making it impossible to observe the surgical situation. This helps to ensure the normal progress of the surgery.

[0048] The scraper blade 205 has an arc-shaped blade. When cleaning the fill light device 5002 and the camera 5001, it is adapted to the surface curvature of the fill light device 5002 and the camera 5001, which helps to enhance the cleaning effect of the fill light device 5002 and the camera 5001, avoids incomplete cleaning, and prevents the image of the imaging device 1 from having partial shadows during surgical observation, which helps to ensure the normal progress of the surgery.

[0049] When the expander 6 is about to expand to its limit, the nut sleeve 202 and the screw 203 are connected. When the expander 6 just begins to expand and open the internal organs and tissues, the screw 203 is prevented from driving the scraper 205 to rotate, thus initially preventing the internal tissues from getting tangled on the scraper 205, avoiding secondary damage to the patient during the operation, and ensuring the patient's safety during the operation.

[0050] It also includes a second driving element 201, a first elastic element 204, and a second elastic element 206; the second driving element 201 is provided inside the inlet tube 4001, and the second driving element 201 is an electric push rod; the telescopic end of the second driving element 201 is fixedly connected to the nut sleeve rod 202; a limit block 20301 is fixedly connected to the screw 203; the observer 5 is provided with a movable cavity 5003; the first elastic element 204 is fixedly connected to the middle of the screw 203, and the first elastic element 204 is a spring, and the first elastic element 204 is located inside the movable cavity 5003; the second elastic element 206 is fixedly connected to the front side of the screw 203; and the second elastic element 206 is fixedly connected to the scraper 205, and the second elastic element 206 is a torsion spring; the expander 6 expands and opens the human body. When removing organs and tissues, the screw 203 is screwed into the nut sleeve 202. The second driving component 201 drives the nut sleeve 202 to move into the cavity tube 4001, which in turn drives the screw 203 and scraper 205 to move behind the observer 5. Due to the obstruction of the observer 5, the scraper 205 cannot move backward. Taking the top-down view as a reference, the scraper 205 rotates counterclockwise, from a state perpendicular to the screw 203 to a state parallel to the screw 203. As the screw 203 drives the scraper 205 to continue moving behind the observer 5, the human tissue wrapped around the scraper 205 is further removed from the scraper 205, preventing the scraper 205 from causing harm to the patient during the operation and further ensuring the patient's safety during the operation.

[0051] It also includes an electromagnet 207; the electromagnet 207 is fixedly connected inside the nut sleeve 202; after the screw 203 is screwed into the nut sleeve 202, the button 3 is pressed to magnetize the electromagnet 207, fixing the screw 203 inside the nut sleeve 202. When the first driving component 101 fails, the pulling force of the connecting rod 102 on the observer 5 disappears, causing the observer 5 to pop out in front of the inlet tube 4001, causing the scraper 205, which is parallel to the screw 203, to follow the pop-out of the observer 5, thereby piercing the internal organs and tissues of the human body. The electromagnet 207 fixes the screw 203 inside the nut sleeve 202, preventing the scraper 205 from causing secondary injury to the patient due to the failure of the first driving component 101, which helps to ensure the safety of the patient during the operation.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] Based on Example 2, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, it also includes a locking system, which includes a locking device 301 and a locking rod 302; the locking device 301 is fixed to the front side of the nut sleeve 202; the locking rod 302 is fixed to the screw 203; during the process of screw 203 being screwed into nut sleeve 202, screw 203 drives locking rod 302 to rotate and lock into locking device 301. When the first driving member 101 and electromagnet 207 malfunction, the pulling force of the first driving member 101 and electromagnet 207 on the observer 5 disappears, causing the observer 5 to pop out in front of the inlet tube 4001, causing the scraper 205, which is parallel to the screw 203, to follow the pop-out of the observer 5, thereby stabbing a person. Internal organs and tissues are locked into the locking device 301 by the locking rod 302 to prevent secondary injury to the patient caused by the scraper 205 due to the failure of the first driving member 101 and the electromagnet 207, which helps to ensure the safety of the patient during surgery. When it is necessary to release the lock between the observer 5 and the inlet tube 4001, the first driving member 101 drives the connecting rod 102 to move forward, thereby driving the observer 5 to move forward. The movement of the observer 5 causes the screw 203 to rotate and be pulled out from the nut sleeve 202. At the same time, the screw 203 drives the locking rod 302 to rotate and separate from the locking device 301, thereby releasing the lock between the observer 5 and the inlet tube 4001.

[0054] Example 4

[0055] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, it also includes a protective film 401; a protective film 401 is provided on the outside of the expander 6; by wrapping the expander 6 with the protective film 401, it prevents human tissue fluid from entering the expander 6 during surgical observation, which would make it difficult to clean the position of the expander 6 after surgery. At the same time, it prevents the expander 6 from puncturing human internal organs and tissues when it is opened, further ensuring the safety of the patient during surgery.

[0056] It also includes a support block 402; each support plate in the expander 6 has a support block 402 fixed to its outer surface; with the front to back view as a reference, the support block 402 supports the protective film 401, making the protective film 401 polygonal, so as to prevent the negative pressure state between the front side of the protective film 401 and the organs and tissues when the endoscopic device is removed from the human body, which would cause injury to the patient when the endoscopic device is pulled out, and helps to avoid secondary injury caused by surgical instruments at the end of the operation.
