[0049] Advantages:

[0050] 1.

[0051] 2. Due to the setting of the plug-in structure and the fixing device, the buckle connection is omitted, which can make the rear end of the image fiber in the fiber scope part closer to the ocular adapter lens, thereby reducing the loss of optical signals in the transmission process and improving the clarity and contrast of the image;

[0052] 3. The traditional breast ductoscope is to connect the fiber scope and the ocular adapter lens, then fix the ocular lens on the telescopic rod of the trolley, and then install the length shifter, handle tee and sheath on the other end of the fiber scope for use, so that there is a certain distance between the equipment trolley and the patient, and the fragile image fiber is used to transmit the image between them, which is easy to damage the image fiber for some inexperienced users. The fiber scope and camera connecting structure of the present application innovatively integrates the camera imaging assembly in the handle, discards the traditional operation mode of sequentially connecting the fiber scope, ocular adapter, optical bayonet and CMOS camera, simplifies the connection mode between the ocular adapter, optical bayonet and CMOS camera and integrates them in the handle, and connects the rear end of the image fiber seat fixing cover in the fiber scope part and the front end of the outer cylinder through the plug-in structure during use. This quick connection mode not only facilitates installation and removal, but also ensures good alignment accuracy and facilitates users to quickly replace different fiber scopes according to needs.

[0068] Embodiment 1

[0069] A fiber scope and camera connection structure, comprising a camera part and a fiber scope part, the camera part comprising an outer barrel 10, an eyepiece adapter 11 and a handle shell 13, the rear end of the outer barrel 10 is located in the handle shell 13, the front end is exposed from the front end of the handle shell 13, and the front end of the outer barrel 10 is connected with the eyepiece adapter 11; the fiber scope part comprises an image fiber 1, an image fiber seat base 3 and a connecting piece, the connecting piece is connected to the rear end of the image fiber seat base 3, the rear end of the image fiber 1 passes through the center hole of the connecting piece, and the front end passes out from the front end of the image fiber seat base 3; the rear end of the connecting piece and the front end of the outer barrel 10 are matched through a plug-in structure, and the fiber scope part and the camera part are connected and fixed through a fixing device, when the fiber scope part and the camera part are connected, the rear end of the image fiber 1 is close to the eyepiece adapter 11.

[0070] The image fiber seat fixing cover in the fiber scope part and the outer barrel in the camera part are connected by a plug-in structure, so that there is no connection structure between the eyepiece adapter and the image fiber in the fiber scope part, that is, instead of the traditional buckle connection between the two, the overall size of the connection part can be significantly reduced, the camera device integrated in the handle shell is matched, the volume of the whole fiber ductoscope is more compact, it is more suitable for operation in a narrow space, and the flexibility and convenience of use are improved; the ductoscope in this form does not need to be fixed on a telescopic rod during use, greatly shortening the length of the fiber scope part, especially the size of the image fiber in the fiber scope part, on the one hand, reducing the risk of damaging the image fiber during operation and reducing the use cost, on the other hand, the shorter fiber scope part ensures better image transmission effect.

[0071] The plug-in structure comprises a plug-in part and a matching part. The plug-in part can be arranged on the rear end face of the image fiber seat fixing cover 6 or the front end face of the outer barrel 10. When the plug-in part is arranged on the rear end face of the image fiber seat fixing cover 6, the matching part is arranged on the front end face of the outer barrel 10. When the plug-in part is arranged on the front end face of the outer barrel 10, the matching part is arranged on the rear end face of the image fiber seat fixing cover 6.

[0072] When the fiber scope part and the camera part are connected, the plug-in part is inserted into the matching part, and the rear end face of the image fiber seat fixing cover 6 and the front end face of the outer barrel 10 are attached. The matching design of the plug-in part and the matching part can ensure that the rear end face of the image fiber seat fixing cover 6 and the front end face of the outer barrel 10 are completely attached, thereby realizing high-precision alignment between the rear end of the image fiber 1 and the eyepiece adapter 11. This helps to reduce the loss in the process of optical signal transmission and improve the clarity and resolution of the image.

[0073] It is worth noting that the rear end of the image fiber 1 and the central axis of the eyepiece adapter 11 are on the same straight line. In order to achieve this purpose, it is necessary to make the central hole axis of the image fiber seat 5 coincide with the central axis of the eyepiece adapter 11.

[0074] In the present application, the plug-in part can be one of various plug-in forms, such as any one of a pin, a buckle, a mortise and a boss. Correspondingly, the matching part is any one of a pin hole, a clamping groove, a mortise hole and a bayonet. By inserting the pin into the pin hole, the buckle into the clamping groove, the mortise into the mortise hole, and the boss into the bayonet, the connection of the scope fixing cover 6 and the outer cylinder 10 can be achieved.

[0075] It is worth noting that only one plug-in part and one matching part are provided, and the fiber scope part and the camera part are positioned by one positioning.

[0076] In the present application, the fixing device includes a fastening hand wheel 7. The fastening hand wheel 7 is a hollow structure, the rear end of the inner circle is provided with a threaded part, and the front end is provided with an annular protruding part 701 protruding inward. The front end of the outer periphery of the scope fixing base 3 has an annular stepped structure, and the front end of the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 10 is provided with a front end thread. The fastening hand wheel 7 is sleeved on the scope fixing base 3, the inner wall of the front end annular protruding part 701 abuts against the annular stepped structure on the scope fixing base 3, and the threaded part at the rear end is connected with the front end thread of the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 10.

[0077] The hollow inside of the fastening hand wheel 7, the threaded part at the rear end of the inner circle and the annular protruding part at the front end of the inner circle not only facilitate the operator to manually tighten or loosen, but also effectively prevent loosening caused by long-term use. In addition, it can also tightly fix the scope fixing base 3 on the outer cylinder 10, further enhancing the stability of the whole system.

[0078] Further, the fixing device further includes a locking nut 8, which is sleeved on and connected with the outer wall of the scope fixing base 3, and the rear end face of the locking nut 8 abuts against the front end face of the fastening hand wheel 7.

[0079] The locking nut 8 abuts against the front end face of the fastening hand wheel 7, forming a double locking mechanism. This design not only enhances the fixing effect of the fastening hand wheel 7, but also effectively prevents the fastening hand wheel 7 from loosening due to vibration or impact, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0080] It should be noted that the present application ensures quick and firm connection through internal positioning first and external locking later. Specifically, the present application sets the plug-in structure to enable the camera part and the fiber scope part to be quickly aligned, and after alignment, the camera part and the fiber scope part are connected and fixed by the fixing device. The plug-in structure provided by the present application reduces the difficulty of alignment. Through the form of connection and fixation by one fixing device, the fixing device can be quickly installed and disassembled every time it is used, and the fixing device adopts the form of outer peripheral thread to ensure the stability of the structure after connection and fixation.

The image fiber seat fixing cover 6 not only fixes the image fiber seat 5, but also protects the rear end of the image fiber seat 5, prevents external contaminants from entering, keeps the internal components clean and dry, and prolongs the service life of the equipment.

[0083] The image fiber seat 5 and the image fiber seat fixing cover 6 adopt a modular design, so that the image fiber seat 5 and the image fiber seat fixing cover 6 can be independently disassembled and replaced. If a part fails, it can be replaced individually without replacing the entire connecting piece, reducing maintenance costs.

[0084] Further, the rear end opening of the image fiber seat base 3 is provided with an inwardly recessed annular platform 305, and the front end of the image fiber seat 5 is connected to the annular platform 305. The outer periphery of the rear end of the image fiber seat 5 is provided with a protrusion 501, and the inner hole wall of the image fiber seat fixing cover 6 is provided with a first recess 603. The rear end of the image fiber seat 5 is inserted into the inner hole of the image fiber seat fixing cover 6, and the protrusion 501 is located in the first recess 603.

[0085] The annular platform 305 provides stable support, ensuring the stable position of the front end of the image fiber seat 5 in the image fiber seat base 3, preventing displacement or loosening during use.

[0086] The cooperation of the protrusion 501 and the first recess 603 plays a guiding role, which can quickly realize the connection of the image fiber seat 5 and the image fiber seat fixing cover 6, ensure the accurate alignment of the image fiber seat 5 in the image fiber seat base 3 and the image fiber seat fixing cover 6, reduce the installation error, improve the use precision of the equipment, and on the one hand ensure the fixation of the rear end of the image fiber seat 5 in the image fiber seat fixing cover 6, and further enhance the stability of the structure.

When the fiber scope part and the camera part are connected, the rear end face of the image fiber seat fixing cover 6 and the front end face of the outer cylinder 10 are attached. Further, the insertion part is a boss, and the matching part is a bayonet.

[0088] In another embodiment, the connecting piece is a whole structure, that is, the connecting piece is an external structure with the image fiber seat 5 and the image fiber seat fixing cover 6 to cooperate with other assembly structures. This design facilitates the connection of the connecting piece and the image fiber seat base 3.

[0089] In the present application, the fiber scope part further comprises a main mirror tube 2 connected at the front end inside the image fiber seat base 3 and partially exposed, the axis of the part of the main mirror tube 2 inside the image fiber seat base 3 coincides with the central hole axis of the image fiber seat 5, the front end of the image fiber 1 is connected inside the main mirror tube 2 and is installed with a self-focusing imaging objective 101, and the front end of the illumination optical fiber 4 is located inside the main mirror tube 2 and wrapped around the outer periphery of the image fiber 1.

[0090] With this design, the axis of the part of the main mirror tube 2 inside the image fiber seat base 3, the central hole axis of the image fiber seat 5 and the central axis of the eyepiece adapter lens 11 are on the same straight line, which ensures the image transmission effect of the image fiber. The front end of the illumination optical fiber 4 is located inside the main mirror tube 2 and wrapped around the outer periphery of the image fiber 1, which ensures that the illumination light can uniformly irradiate the target area and improves the imaging quality. The self-focusing imaging objective 101 is a prior art, which will not be described in detail in the present application, and it can naturally guide the parallel light entering the objective to the focal point.

[0091] In summary, the fiber scope part of the present application comprises a fastening hand wheel 7, a locking nut 8, an illumination optical fiber 4 for illumination, an image fiber 1 for obtaining images, an image fiber seat base 3, and a main mirror tube 2, an image fiber seat 5 and an image fiber seat fixing cover 6 installed on the image fiber seat base 3, which can be detached and replaced.

[0092] Further, the rear end outer wall of the image fiber seat base 3 is provided with a notch, the image fiber seat fixing cover 6 and the inner part of the outer cylinder 10 are each provided with a through hole, the rear end of the illumination optical fiber 4 passes through the main mirror tube 2 and passes out of the notch on the rear end outer wall of the image fiber seat base 3 and then passes into the through hole of the image fiber seat fixing cover 6, and the through hole in the outer cylinder 10 is arranged along the length direction thereof for installing an illumination light source, and when the fiber scope part and the camera head part are connected, the axis of the first through hole 602 coincides with the axis of the second through hole 1007.

[0093] The rear end of the illumination optical fiber 4 of the present application passes through the main mirror tube 2 and passes into the through hole of the image fiber seat fixing cover 6 from the notch on the rear end outer wall of the image fiber seat base 3. This path design ensures smooth transmission of the illumination optical fiber 4 and reduces light source loss. When the fiber scope part and the camera head part are connected, the axes of the through holes in the image fiber seat fixing cover 6 and the inner part of the outer cylinder 10 coincide, which ensures that the light path of the illumination light source can be smoothly transmitted to the front end of the illumination optical fiber 4. This design not only improves the transmission efficiency of the light path, but also simplifies the connection process.

[0094] It is worth mentioning that the through hole in the fixed cover 6 and the through hole in the outer cylinder 10 are arranged on the plug-in structure. By arranging the two through holes on the plug-in structure, on the one hand, the axes of the two through holes can be perfectly coincided when connected, and the light emitted by the illumination light source can be smoothly transmitted to the imaging area at the front end through the illumination optical fiber 4, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of the light path and the imaging quality.

[0095] In the present application, the camera part further comprises a focusing dial 9, and the eyepiece adapter 11 is connected in the axial direction of the outer cylinder 10 and is movable along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 10, and the cylinder wall of the outer cylinder 10 is provided with a slot; the focusing dial 9 is sleeved on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 10, and the inner wall of the focusing dial 9 is provided with a second groove 901, and the outer wall of the eyepiece adapter 11 is connected with an adjusting rod; the top end of the adjusting rod passes through the slot of the outer cylinder 10 and is located in the second groove 901; the direction of the slot 1004 is inclined to the axial direction of the outer cylinder 10, and when the focusing dial 9 rotates, the eyepiece adapter 11 can move along the axis of the outer cylinder 10 to approach or move away from the rear end of the image fiber 1.

[0096] In use, the user rotates the focusing dial 9 manually to realize the focusing function. The inner wall of the focusing dial 9 is provided with a second groove 901, which is in contact with the top end of the adjusting rod. When the focusing dial 9 rotates, the adjusting rod will rotate with the focusing dial 9 due to the existence of the second groove 901. Because the slot 1004 is arranged inclined to the axial direction of the outer cylinder 10, when the focusing dial 9 rotates, the adjusting rod will not only rotate with the focusing dial 9, but also move along the direction of the slot 1004. The bottom end of the adjusting rod is connected with the eyepiece adapter 11. With the movement of the adjusting rod in the slot 1004, the eyepiece adapter 11 will move along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 10, i.e. approach or move away from the rear end of the image fiber 1, so as to change the focal point position and achieve the purpose of focusing.

[0097] The present application utilizes the cooperation of the focusing dial 9, the adjusting rod and the slot in the cylinder wall of the outer cylinder 10, so that the design of the whole focusing mechanism is more compact, saves space and is conducive to the development of small-sized products.

[0098] In some further embodiments, the adjusting rod is a screw. The slotted groove and the outer barrel are inclined at an angle of 45° in the axial direction. By designing the slotted groove at an angle of 45°, the adjusting rod can move a greater distance in the axial direction of the outer barrel 10 under the same rotation angle. This allows the product to achieve a greater focusing range under a smaller rotation angle change. The 45° angle design helps to optimize the force transmission efficiency. When the user rotates the focusing dial 9, the force can be more effectively converted into the axial movement of the adjusting rod, reducing the loss of force and making the focusing process smoother. The 45° inclined slotted groove design can enhance the stability of the structure. During the focusing process, the adjusting rod is not only subjected to a force perpendicular to the axial direction, but also a force along the direction of the slotted groove. The combination of these forces can better maintain the stability of the adjusting rod and the eyepiece adapter lens 11, reducing shaking and deviation.

[0099] Further, the camera part further comprises a focusing dial fixing cover 14, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the outer barrel 10 and fixedly connected thereto. The focusing dial 9 is located between the front ends of the focusing dial fixing cover 14 and the handle shell 13.

[0134] 3. Insert the front end of the assembled component (on the side of the self-focusing imaging objective lens 101) into the small hole 304 (the small hole 304 is a round hole) from the rear end of the fiber optic mount 3. Then, place the front end of the fiber optic mount 5 on the annular platform 305 of the fiber optic mount 3 (the diameter of the annular platform is about 0.1 mm larger than the outer diameter of the boss at the front end of the fiber optic mount 5). Clean the first through hole 602 (the first through hole 602 is a round hole) on the fiber optic mount fixing cover 6. Insert the illumination fiber optic cable into the first through hole 602. Finally, align the first groove 603 on the fiber optic mount fixing cover 6 with the protrusion 501 on the fiber optic mount. Tighten the two fastening screws on the left and right to fix the fiber optic mount fixing cover 6 to the fiber optic mount 3 (the fiber optic mount fixing cover 6 has symmetrical through holes on the left and right, and the fiber optic mount 3 has symmetrical screw holes on the left and right; the fastening screws pass through the through holes of the fiber optic mount fixing cover 6 and are inserted into the screw holes of the fiber optic mount 3).

[0135] 4. Prepare the glue, and put the outer tube 202 and the inner tube 201 of the primary lens support tube onto the primary lens tube 2 in sequence and glue them together to cure, so that the front end face of the outer tube 202 and the inner tube 201 of the primary lens support tube are on the same plane as the front end face of the fiber mount base 3.

[0136] 5. Insert the fastening handwheel 7 onto the front end of the fiber optic base 3, and then screw the front locking nut 8 into the thread at the front end of the fiber optic base 3 so that the fastening handwheel 7 can be freely turned on the fiber optic base.

[0137] II. Manufacturing process of the camera handle:

[0138] 1. Install the CMOS imaging system 1204 on the CMOS mount 1201, adjust the focal plane and viewing axis angles, and then fix it.

[0141] 4. Insert the focusing wheel 9 from the front end of the outer cylinder 10, so that the M2 screw on the eyepiece adapter lens 11 is aligned with the second groove 901 on the focusing wheel 9. Then, insert the focusing wheel fixing cover 14 from the front end of the outer cylinder 10, align the three openings on the focusing wheel fixing cover 14 with the threaded holes on the outer cylinder 101, and screw in the fastening screws.

[0143] Fiber and image fiber separation design: The front ends of both the illumination fiber 4 and the image fiber 1 are encased inside the main lens tube 2. After the tail ends extend from the main lens tube 2, the illumination fiber 4 converges into a single strand and extends out from the slot (first notch 3031) at the tail of the image fiber base 3. The image fiber 1 is inserted into the central hole of the image fiber base 5 along the center line of the image fiber base 3. The illumination fiber 4 extending from the side is passed through the first through hole 602 of φ1.2mm on the image fiber base fixing cover 6. Then, the illumination fiber 4 is passed through a stainless steel tube. After applying glue to the inside and outside of the stainless steel tube, the tube is pushed into the first through hole 602 on the image fiber base fixing cover 6. After the glue cures, the end face of the illumination fiber 4 is ground and polished.

[0144] III. Focusing Principle

[0145] Adjusting the front and back position of the eyepiece inside the outer tube can adjust the clarity of the image, while adjusting the front and back position of the adapter lens inside the outer tube can adjust the size of the image on the display screen.

[0146] IV. Eyepiece focusing method and the function of the adapter lens

[0147] The eyepiece is installed inside the outer tube. The eyepiece tube has an M2 threaded hole, and the outer tube sidewall has a 45° axial groove. Insert the eyepiece into the outer tube, align the threaded hole on the eyepiece tube with the groove on the outer tube sidewall, and screw an M2 screw through the groove into the threaded hole on the eyepiece tube. The eyepiece will then move back and forth along the groove on the outer tube sidewall, adjusting the image sharpness.

[0148] The adapter lens adjusts the size of the image on the CMOS sensor module, which is directly reflected in the change in the size of the image on the display screen.

[0149] V. Sensor assembly requirements and connection between base and lens

[0150] Put the filter and lens shading pad into the CMOS fixing seat in turn, then put the CMOS imaging system on the CMOS fixing seat, screw in two M2 screws, adjust the front and rear and left and right positions of the CMOS imaging system mounting plate on the CMOS fixing seat, ensure that the visual axis and the center line of the CMOS fixing seat coincide, then tighten the two M2 screws to fix the mounting plate; then adjust the three screws at the back of the mounting plate to adjust the parallelism of the CMOS photosensitive surface and the standard image surface, ensure that there is no distortion around the imaging picture, then drop UV glue on the three screws and solidify to prevent the screws from loosening and affecting the parallelism of the photosensitive surface.

[0151] Six, the trend of the light path, light cone effect, light path limiting design

[0152] Imaging light path: the external picture passes through the refraction of the self-focusing imaging objective lens to converge on the front end face of the image fiber, uses the principle of image fiber light transmission to transmit the picture to the rear end face of the image fiber, and then transmits the light to the photosensitive device of the CMOS through the refraction of the eyepiece and the adapter lens. Finally, it is converted by the signal output.

[0153] Illumination light path: the fiber mirror part is covered with illumination optical fiber during production, together with the self-focusing imaging objective lens and the image fiber around the image fiber, and is inserted into the main mirror tube. The ends of the optical fiber are gathered together and bonded and solidified on the image fiber seat fixing cover by glue. The illumination optical fiber of the camera handle part extends from the front end face of the outer cylinder to the tail of the outer cylinder through the hole on the side wall of the outer cylinder, and then extends through the reserved space on the CMOS fixing seat to the tail of the handle. Finally, it is stretched out from the handle tail sleeve and connected to the cold light source main machine to provide illumination light source for the fiber mirror.
