Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, and more particularly to a control device suitable for an endoscope. Background Art

[0002] The medical device used to directly observe the internal cavity of human organs is called an endoscope (endoscope). Endoscopes are generally composed of a camera, a cold light source, a host, a display, a light guide and other structures, as well as lenses for different parts. The endoscope enters the human body through the natural channels of the human body or through a small incision, and the image is collected by CCD and processed step by step to form an image on an external display. It is mostly used for the inspection and surgical treatment of human organs or tissues. According to its development and imaging structure classification: it can be roughly divided into three categories: hard tube endoscopes, fiber endoscopes and electronic endoscopes.

[0003] Endoscopes and endoscope control devices play a vital role in modern medicine. The background technology involves many aspects. The following is a detailed description of this:

[0004] There are many types of endoscopes. It is customary to call those that enter through natural channels endoscopes, such as gastroscopes and colonoscopes; those that enter body cavities or potential cavities through puncture holes are called laparoscopy, such as laparoscopes and arthroscopes. From the perspective of performance and texture, endoscopes can be divided into hard endoscopes and soft endoscopes. Hard endoscopes, such as cystoscopes, have a simple structure and are easy to operate. However, the observation direction is fixed; soft endoscopes, such as fiber gastroscopes, can be bent in both the body and the tip, and are suitable for more complex inspection environments.

[0005] Endoscopes have been widely used in various clinical departments, including the digestive system (gastroscopy, colonoscopy, etc. are used to examine digestive tract diseases), respiratory system (bronchoscope is used to examine respiratory tract diseases), urinary system (cystoscope is used to examine the urinary system), orthopedics (arthroscopy is used to examine internal joint lesions), gynecology (laparoscope is used to examine pelvic organs), etc. Endoscopes and endoscope control devices involve many aspects. Their development history, types of applications and technological innovations all reflect the progress and development of medical science and technology. Endoscopic technology will play a greater role in the medical field.

[0006] Existing overall endoscopes can be classified into mechanical endoscopes and electronic endoscopes. Electronic endoscopes eliminate the eyepiece structure of traditional mechanical endoscopes and use a display to display the actual situation of the lesion point, so that the surgeon can observe the situation at the surgical point more clearly and complete the minimally invasive surgery smoothly. However, in the actual use of electronic endoscopes, because the doctor's attention needs to be highly concentrated during the operation, the position of the existing display screen cannot ensure perfect unity with the surgical operation position, and medical personnel need to adjust the viewing angle. However, the long surgical process can easily cause discomfort to medical personnel, and changes in related data on the display screen will cause viewing angle deviations for medical personnel during the operation. The sound of related life information detection equipment and the sound generated by related surgical personnel will also affect concentration, resulting in the inability to maintain high concentration. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a control device suitable for an endoscope to solve the problem of how to improve the relevant shortcomings of mechanical eyepieces and electronic eyepieces in the existing eyepiece technology and ensure a good surgical concentration environment.

[0039] In this embodiment: Figure 1-5 As shown, the specific implementation method is:

[0040] During endoscopic surgery, after making a skin incision at the lesion point, the image transmission connector 109 is first connected to the external medical display, and the insertion tube 105 together with the curved portion 106 is inserted through the incision. The control button 102 is used to control the lighting component inside the control handle 101 to work. The light source of the light-guiding optical fiber 112 is introduced and the insertion position of the end of the curved portion 106 is detected by the objective lens 111 to determine whether the lesion point has been reached, and the surgical tube clamp is inserted through the clamp channel opening 107 and extended out of the clamp tube outlet 110;

[0041] Subsequently, the medical display receives the real-time display of the lesion point detected by the objective lens 111, and controls the angle of the bending portion 106 to change through the angle control knob 103, thereby changing the working point of the working end of the pipe clamp extending from the clamp pipe outlet 110, and turns the angle locking knob 104 to lock the working point of the bending portion 106, and then hangs it on the ear through the tripod 206, and places the nose bracket 205 on the bridge of the nose, forming a way similar to wearing glasses, and wearing the wearable mobile eyepiece 20 on the face of the surgical operator, and inserting the earplugs 208 into the ear canals of the surgical operator respectively, and the medical display transmits the real-time video of the lesion point collected by the objective lens 111 to the display processor 207 through the external connecting tube 108 and the signal transmission line 30, and the display processor 207 presents the real-time video of the display interface of the medical display (only showing the real-time operation of the lesion point) on the imaging screen 203, and the outer shielding cover 201 is wrapped around the imaging screen in the shape of a closed outer cover. 203 outside, when operating the endoscope body 10 and the matching pipe clamp to operate the focus, the surgeon does not need to turn his head / body to observe the actual situation of the medical display, and maintains a normal standing posture to present the focus through the imaging screen 203 aligned with the wearable mobile eyepiece 20, and the external shielding cover 201 blocks the external light source / personnel behavior in the operating room, so as to maintain the concentration of vision, and the earplug 208 temporarily seals the ears of the surgeon to reduce the interference of the sound generated by the instruments and machinery in the operating room to the surgeon's hearing. Compared with the mechanical eyepiece in the traditional technical solution, the design of the eyepiece part is cancelled, and the surgeon can maintain a comfortable standing posture for surgical operation; compared with the electronic endoscope, there is no need to adjust the surgical standing posture, and the wearable mobile eyepiece 20 similar to VR glasses replaces the traditional way of viewing the medical display, which can reduce the influence of other interferences to vision and hearing, thereby ensuring a good surgical focus environment;

[0042] The method of viewing the real-time status of the lesion point on the medical display in the traditional medical electronic endoscope is retained. This method is retained in the real-time viewing and video retention of relevant medical personnel (doctors and nurses). The actual surgeon's perspective is smaller than the video displayed on the medical display to ensure the mental concentration during the operation. During the operation, the actual surgeon unlocks the angle locking knob 104 at any time according to the operation process, and uses the angle control knob 103 to adjust the angle of the bending part 106, thereby changing the shooting angle of the objective lens 111, thereby changing the imaging location of the medical display and the imaging screen 203, thereby ensuring a comprehensive viewing of the lesion point during the operation and ensuring the treatment effect;
