[0033] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be the only implementation method.

[0034] Based on the problem that the activity spaces of the mechanical arm and the display arm of the existing medical exoscopic device overlap, an exoscopic device is provided. The exoscopic device can effectively avoid interference and collision between the acquisition component and the display component during movement by arranging the display component above the acquisition component.

[0035] For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The endoscopic device may include a device base 10, a collection component 20, a column 30, a display component 40 and a control component 60. The device base 10 has a first installation position 101 and a second installation position 102 arranged at intervals. The collection component 20 can be movably arranged at the first installation position 101, and the collection component 20 has a first activity space. The collection component 20 can move in the first activity space and can collect image information of the surgical area. The column 30 is fixed at the second installation position 102. The display component 40 is movably connected to the column 30, and the display component 40 has a second activity space, which is located above the first activity space. The display component 40 can move in the second activity space and can adjust the position of the display component 40. The control component 60 is electrically connected to the collection component 20 and the display component 40 respectively, and is used to be operated to control the collection component 20 and the display component 40.

[0036] It is understandable that the exoscopic device separates the activity space of the acquisition component 20 and the activity space of the display component 40 up and down through the column 30, so as to avoid the activity space of the acquisition component 20 and the activity space of the display component 40 from crossing, thereby avoiding interference and collision between the acquisition component 20 and the display component 40 during movement, and avoiding safety problems. In addition, the activity space of the display component 40 is raised by the column 30, so that the display component 40 can be kept consistent with the height of the human eye, which is more ergonomic and convenient for doctors to observe the display screen more directly.

[0037] More specifically, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the exoscopic device further includes a cantilever platform 50, which is fixed to the first installation position 101 of the device base 10, and the cantilever platform 50 extends from the first installation position 101 to the outside of the device base 10, and the collection component 20 is movably connected to one end of the cantilever platform 50 away from the first installation position 101. In other words, the cantilever platform 50 can expand the first installation position 101 of the device base 10, and the installation position of the collection component 20 is set outside the device base 10, thereby increasing the range of the first activity space of the collection component 20, so that the collection component 20 can be moved to different surgical sites of the patient as needed, so that the doctor can move the field of view in a wider range during the operation.

[0038] Alternatively, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the acquisition component 20 may include a robotic arm 21 and a acquisition lens 22. The robotic arm 21 is fixed to the cantilever platform 50, and the acquisition lens 22 is fixed to one end of the robotic arm 21 away from the cantilever platform 50. The robotic arm 21 can drive the acquisition lens 22 to move in the first activity space so that the acquisition lens 22 can reach the patient's surgical site to acquire image information.

[0039] Preferably, in some embodiments, the acquisition component 20 may further include an acceleration sensor (not shown), which is arranged in the acquisition lens 22 and is used to collect the jitter of the acquisition lens 22 when it is driven by the mechanical arm 21, so as to optimize the display effect of the display component 40, realize image de-shaking, and improve image stability.

[0040] Alternatively, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the display assembly 40 may include a movable arm 41 and a display unit 42, wherein the movable arm 41 is rotatably connected to the column 30, and the display unit 42 is fixed to one end of the movable arm 41 away from the column 30. The movable arm 41 can be used to drive the display unit 42 to move, so as to adjust the display unit 42 to the most suitable observation position, so that the doctor can observe the display screen more easily. By rotating the movable arm 41, the activity space of the display unit 42 can be adjusted to further stagger the activity space of the display assembly 40 and the acquisition assembly 20.

[0041] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the movable arm 41 includes a rotating cantilever 411 and a support arm 412. The rotating cantilever 411 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the column 30, and the rotating cantilever 411 extends horizontally outward from the upper end of the column 30. By rotating the rotating cantilever 411, the activity space of the support arm 412 can be adjusted. One end of the support arm 412 is rotatably connected to the rotating cantilever 411. By rotating the support arm 412, the distance between the display unit 42 and the column 30 can be adjusted, thereby expanding the activity space of the display unit 42. The other end of the support arm 412 is rotatably connected to the display unit 42. By rotating the display unit 42, the angle of the display unit 42 can be adjusted. The rotation of the display unit 42 is preferably up and down rotation, so as to achieve the adjustable tilt angle of the display unit 42.

[0042] Preferably, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the display assembly 40 further includes a locking member 43, and one end of the rotating cantilever 411 connected to the column 30 has a matching structure (not shown in the figure), and the locking member 43 is adjustably arranged on the column 30 and is matched and connected with the matching structure of the rotating cantilever 411 to limit the rotation of the rotating cantilever 411 around the column 30 in the locked state and allow the rotating cantilever 411 to rotate around the column 30 in the unlocked state. In this way, by limiting the rotation of the rotating cantilever 411 through the locking member 43, the range of movement of the display unit 42 can be fixed in a specific area, further avoiding interference and collision between the acquisition assembly 20 and the display assembly 40.

[0043] Optionally, in one embodiment, the display unit 42 may be implemented as a 3D display, which can be used to output 3D stereoscopic imaging so that the doctor can observe the surgical site of the patient more intuitively.

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the control component 60 includes a control bracket 61 connected to the column 30 and a control screen 62 connected to the control bracket 61. The control screen 62 is electrically connected to the acquisition component 20 and the display component 40, and is used to control the movement of the acquisition component 20 and the display component 40 on the one hand, and to provide a display screen on the other hand. The control bracket 61 is located within the height range of the first activity space for the doctor to operate and control.

[0045] Preferably, in one embodiment, the control screen 62 can be implemented as a 2D display for outputting 2D images, so that the doctor or assistant can immediately grasp the situation in the surgical area.

[0046] In particular, if Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the height of the first installation position 101 is flush with the height of the second installation position 102, and the display assembly 40 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the column 30, and the height of the column 30 exceeds the height of the first activity space. In this way, the first installation position 101 and the second installation are located in the same installation plane, which is more conducive to the design of the device base 10. By utilizing the height of the column 30, the effect of the second activity space being higher than the first activity space can be achieved.

[0047] Furthermore, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the device base 10 may include a base 11, a first vertical beam 12 group, a first mounting platform 13, a second vertical beam 14 group and a second mounting platform 15, wherein the first vertical beam 12 group and the second vertical beam 14 group are arranged at intervals on the base 11, the first vertical beam 12 group includes at least one first vertical beam 12 fixedly arranged on the base 11, the first mounting platform 13 is fixedly arranged on the upper end of the first vertical beam 12, the second vertical beam 14 group includes at least one second vertical beam 14 fixedly arranged on the base 11, the second mounting platform 15 is fixedly arranged on the upper end of the second vertical beam 14, the first mounting position 101 is located on the first mounting platform 13, and the second mounting position 102 is located on the second mounting platform 15. Such an arrangement can reduce the weight of the device base 10 and facilitate the handling or movement of the exterior mirror device.

[0048] Alternatively, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the first vertical beam 12 group includes a pair of first vertical beams 12 arranged at intervals, and the two first vertical beams 12 are respectively fixed to the first mounting platform 13 to more stably support the first mounting platform 13. Similarly, the second vertical beam 14 group includes a pair of second vertical beams 14 arranged at intervals, and the two second vertical beams 14 are respectively fixed to the second mounting platform 15 to more stably support the second mounting platform 15.

[0049] Preferably, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the device base 10 further includes at least one cross beam 16, one end of the cross beam 16 is fixed to the first vertical beam 12, and the other end of the cross beam 16 is fixed to the second vertical beam 14. The cross beam 16 can connect the first cross beam 16 group and the second cross beam 16 group, and is used to reinforce the structure of the first cross beam 16 group and the second cross beam 16 group, so that the acquisition component 20 or the display component 40 can move more stably.

[0050] Preferably, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the device base 10 further includes a plurality of casters 17, which are fixedly arranged at intervals on the bottom surface of the base 11. The casters 17 can realize the free movement of the exoscopic device during use, so that the doctor can adjust the position of the exoscopic device.

[0051] Preferably, if Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the device base 10 further includes a counterweight block 18 fixed to the base 11, and the counterweight block 18 is used to balance the torque of the display component 40 and the acquisition component 20 to prevent the device base 10 from tipping over when the display component 40 or the acquisition component 20 expands outward, thereby achieving stability of the device.

[0052] Preferably, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the device base 10 further includes a handle 19, and the handle 19 is fixed to the second vertical beam 14 group. The handle 19 can be used to push the device base 10 to move, so as to facilitate the doctor to move the exoscopic device.

[0053] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0054] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
