Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the fields of image processing and intelligent medical care, and in particular to a rigid endoscope lens imaging system for cleaning, disinfection and inspection. Background Art
[0002] Rigid endoscope is a widely used device in the medical field. It is usually used for endoscopic examination, surgery and minimally invasive treatment. The key advantage of endoscope is that it enters the human body through a tiny incision to achieve direct observation of organs and tissues. This technology has been widely used in the fields of gastroenterology, gynecology and urology. However, with the continuous development of endoscopic technology, the quality of imaging system and the safety of equipment have become an important issue. In traditional endoscopic operation, after the rigid endoscope lens instruments are sent to the disinfection supply center, the existing inspection process is as follows: receiving the lens in the decontamination area → manual / traceability system registration → visual light inspection → registering the lens status → lens disinfection → manual inspection in the packaging area → packaging sterilization → return to the operating room. The imaging quality and the safety of the equipment are often affected by many factors. For example, the imaging quality may be reduced due to wear, contamination or inaccurate focus of the endoscope lens. This reduction in imaging quality will affect the accuracy of clinical diagnosis and thus affect the treatment effect of patients. On the other hand, the safety of the equipment mainly involves the cleaning and disinfection of the endoscope during multiple uses. If the cleaning and disinfection are not thorough, it may lead to infection or other medical risks.
[0003] As an important tool for modern minimally invasive surgical diagnosis and treatment, the rigid endoscope lens is sent to the disinfection supply center for cleaning and disinfection after use in the hospital operating room. After completion, it is returned from the disinfection supply center and must be fully inspected at the disinfection supply center to prevent the risk of lens damage or blur during the operation. The development of the rigid endoscope lens imaging quality inspection system in this disinfection supply center can check whether the lens imaging is normal and whether it affects the use of the operation. In this context, the research purpose of the present invention is to improve the imaging quality of the rigid endoscope imaging system and ensure the safety of the equipment. Specifically, the present invention aims to improve the performance of the endoscope imaging system through automation technology, image processing, machine learning, and remote monitoring to meet the needs of modern medical practice. The imaging quality of the rigid endoscope imaging system mainly depends on the focus and cleanliness of the lens. In traditional endoscope systems, the focus of the lens is usually done manually by the operator, which not only increases the workload, but also easily produces errors. The cleanliness of the lens is related to the cleaning and disinfection process of the endoscope. During the manual cleaning and disinfection process, improper operation may lead to incomplete cleaning and increase the risk of infection. Therefore, an important goal of the present invention is to introduce automation technology to achieve precise adjustment and thorough cleaning of the lens through automatic focusing, cleaning fluid spraying control, and disinfection process control modules. In addition to imaging quality and equipment safety, remote monitoring and diagnosis are also the research focus of the present invention. In the management of medical equipment, real-time monitoring and remote diagnosis are essential to maintaining the normal operation of the equipment. Traditional equipment maintenance usually relies on manual inspection and repair, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but may also cause delays in some cases. By introducing a remote monitoring module, the present invention hopes to achieve remote monitoring, fault diagnosis, and remote management of the endoscopic imaging system, thereby improving equipment utilization and reducing downtime. Summary of the invention

The automatic focusing module ensures that the endoscope lens can focus in real time and provide clear imaging. During the cleaning process of the endoscope, the cleaning liquid spraying control module accurately controls the spraying of the cleaning liquid. The disinfection process control module ensures the effectiveness of the disinfection process by optimizing the concentration, temperature and contact time of the disinfectant. The image enhancement processing module improves the quality of endoscopic imaging and improves the contrast and clarity of the image. The defect detection module is used to automatically detect defects on the surface of the endoscope lens to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

The remote monitoring module realizes remote monitoring and management of the endoscope imaging system. Communication technology and data transmission technology are used to realize real-time acquisition of remote data and remote control of equipment. Through remote monitoring, operators can perform real-time fault diagnosis and maintenance to improve the utilization rate of equipment.
[0006] Furthermore, the autofocus module ensures that in the rigid endoscope imaging system, the focus of the lens is automatically adjusted to ensure the clarity of the imaging. The rigid endoscope imaging system includes an image sensor and a focus adjustment unit. The image sensor is responsible for acquiring real-time imaging data. After acquiring the image data, the image data is subjected to blur evaluation. The blur degree of the image is determined by edge detection and contrast analysis. The blur degree of the image is determined according to the number of edges and brightness differences in the image. After the blur evaluation, the focus adjustment unit starts working. The focus adjustment unit includes a motor, a stepper motor, a drive mechanism, and a mechanical control system. The focus adjustment unit changes the focal length of the lens to achieve focusing. By receiving the signal of the blur evaluation unit, the optimal position of the lens is determined. The present invention designs an autofocus algorithm to maximize the clarity of the imaging image and find the optimal position of the lens.

The lens is equipped with three independent touch sensors, including a touch structure, a pressure feedback unit, an edge CPU, and an alarm mobile unit. The touch structure can effectively avoid damage to the lens and the object to be inspected caused by physical friction and collision between the lens and the object to be inspected. The pressure feedback unit monitors the pressure between the lens and the object to be inspected detected by the touch structure, and transmits the pressure value back to the edge CPU. The edge CPU uses edge computing technology to classify the acquired real-time pressure value by threshold value, and classifies it into three areas: safe area, warning area, and alarm area. The safe area represents that the pressure value is at 60% of the total pressure range and the current lens position is safe. The warning area represents that the pressure value is at 60%-80% of the total pressure range. The edge CPU sends a warning message to the alarm mobile unit, but the lens position can continue to move.
