Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to an automatic bronchoscope diagnosis and treatment device. Background Art

[0002] In the modern medical field, the diagnosis and treatment of tracheal diseases are of crucial importance. Accurately understanding the internal situation of the trachea, such as whether there are lesions, foreign bodies, etc., patients with respiratory failure often have a large accumulation of sputum in the airway due to reasons such as weak coughing and difficulty in expectoration. These sputums not only block the airway and affect the ventilation function, but also become a breeding ground for bacteria, increasing the risk of lung infection, and further aggravating the condition of respiratory failure. It is of key significance for formulating a reasonable treatment plan and ensuring the health of patients.

[0003] In the medical field, the accurate diagnosis of tracheal diseases is crucial for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients. Traditional tracheal examination methods have played an important role in the past for a long time, but with the in-depth understanding of medicine and the improvement of patient needs, their limitations have become increasingly prominent.

[0004] Traditional tracheal examination methods have obvious limitations. Taking indirect laryngoscopy as an example, it is a relatively common and relatively simple traditional tracheal examination method. Doctors use indirect laryngoscopy to observe the larynx and part of the trachea by using the principle of light reflection. This method does not require complex equipment and can be widely carried out in primary medical institutions, having a certain popularity. However, its visual field range is very limited. The human trachea is a complex tubular structure with a certain length and tortuosity. Indirect laryngoscopy can only observe the relatively superficial part of the trachea, and it is difficult to reach the deep part of the trachea. When there are lesions in the deep part of the trachea, such as early tumors, tiny ulcers, etc., or when a tiny foreign body enters the deep part of the trachea, indirect laryngoscopy is very difficult to detect these abnormal conditions, easily resulting in missed diagnosis. This may cause patients to miss the best treatment opportunity, the condition further develops, increasing the difficulty of subsequent treatment and the pain of patients.

[0005] In addition, traditional simple examination methods usually cannot obtain clear images of the inside of the trachea. Doctors can only judge the condition of the trachea based on naked-eye observation and experience, and this diagnostic method is highly subjective. The experience and judgment criteria of different doctors may vary, resulting in the accuracy of the diagnostic results being affected. For some early lesions, due to the lack of clear images as a basis, it is very difficult for doctors to accurately judge the nature, size, and location of the lesions, thus unable to formulate a precise treatment plan. This will not only affect the treatment effect of patients, but also may lead to unnecessary examinations and treatments, increasing the economic burden on patients.

[0006] With the continuous progress of medical technology, endoscopic technology has gradually been applied to the field of tracheal examination, bringing new hope for the diagnosis of tracheal diseases. However, some existing endoscopic devices still face many problems during actual operation.

[0007] When inserting the endoscope into the patient's body, some devices lack a precise control mechanism, resulting in an unstable insertion process. When the endoscope is inserted unstably, it will bring great discomfort to the patient. The patient may feel throat pain, nausea, coughing, etc., and may even resist the examination due to excessive discomfort, affecting the smooth progress of the examination. More seriously, the instability of the insertion process may also damage the respiratory mucosa. The respiratory mucosa is the first line of defense of the human respiratory tract and plays an important role in protecting the respiratory tract from external pathogens. Once the mucosa is damaged, the resistance of the respiratory tract will be reduced, increasing the risk of infection. Moreover, after the mucosa is damaged, it may also cause complications such as bleeding and edema, further aggravating the patient's condition.

[0008] During tracheal examination, doctors need to flexibly adjust the head turning and angle of the endoscope according to different examination sites and lesion conditions in order to quickly and accurately align the site to be observed. However, some existing endoscopic devices perform poorly in this regard. The operations of head turning and angle adjustment of these devices are often not flexible enough. Doctors may need to spend a lot of time and effort to adjust the position and angle of the endoscope when operating in order to find a suitable observation perspective. This not only reduces the efficiency of the examination, but also may cause fatigue and discomfort to the patient due to long-term operation. Moreover, due to the lack of flexibility in adjustment, it may not be possible to accurately align the lesion site in a timely manner, thus affecting the accuracy of the examination. Some minor lesions may be missed because they are not detected in time, posing a potential threat to the patient's health.

[0009] In addition, when there is sputum or other secretions in the trachea affecting the vision, the existing treatment methods may not be timely and effective enough, resulting in interference with the examination results.

[0010] In summary, the limitations of traditional tracheal examination methods and the problems existing in existing endoscopic devices urgently require us to continuously explore and innovate, develop more advanced, precise and comfortable tracheal examination technologies and devices, so as to improve the diagnosis level of tracheal diseases and provide better medical services for patients.

[0011] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an automatic bronchoscope diagnosis and treatment device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0029] (III) Advantageous Effects

[0030] The present invention provides an automatic bronchoscope diagnosis and treatment device, which has the following advantageous effects:

[0031] 1. The present invention is provided with a head steering mechanism. By the rotation of the first servo motor and the second servo motor, the head of the bronchoscope is steered to a suitable direction and adjusted to the optimal angle, ensuring comprehensive observation of all directions and parts of the trachea. This not only enables doctors to avoid spending a large amount of time and energy adjusting the position and angle of the endoscope, improving the efficiency of the examination, but also allows for flexible adjustment, accurately aligning with the lesion site, avoiding omission of some minor lesions, and improving the accuracy of diagnosis. Moreover, due to the complex structure of the human trachea with a certain length and tortuosity, the use of a bronchoscope that can be adjusted omnidirectionally and advanced solves the problem that a laryngoscope can only observe the relatively superficial part of the trachea.

[0032] 2. The automatic steering function of the present invention reduces the difficulty and fatigue of doctors' manual operations, making the operation easier and more stable. Especially for complex tracheal anatomical structures or difficult-to-reach parts, it enables easier observation and examination. The adaptive adjustment function can quickly find the optimal examination angle, reducing the time for repeatedly adjusting the angle during the examination, improving the examination efficiency, and making the entire examination process more smooth.

[0033] 3. The present invention precisely controls the head steering angle through the image information transmitted in real time by the camera, enabling doctors to more accurately align the head of the bronchoscope with the target site, which helps to observe and diagnose minor lesions more carefully.

[0034] 4. During the insertion of the main pipeline, the pipeline advancing mechanism precisely controls the running speed and force of the third servo motor according to a preset program, ensuring that the main pipeline is slowly and smoothly inserted into the patient's nasal cavity or oral cavity and gradually advanced along the pharynx, avoiding damage to the patient's respiratory tract caused by too fast or too forceful insertion. At the same time, it also improves the insertion success rate of the device. The pressure sensor real-time monitors the magnitude of the acting force during the advancement process and feeds the data back to the processor. The processor automatically adjusts the advancement speed and force according to the pressure information, avoiding the patient from feeling throat pain, nausea, coughing, and even possibly resisting the examination due to excessive discomfort. At the same time, it ensures that the bronchoscope will not cause excessive pressure and damage to the trachea during advancement, avoiding damage to the respiratory mucosa and ensuring the safety of the patient.

[0035] 5. The present invention generates a strong negative pressure through the negative pressure pump of the sputum aspiration mechanism, sucks the sputum from the end of the main pipeline, and finally collects it in the storage bucket. This automatic sputum aspiration mechanism can timely remove the secretions in the trachea, ensure the clarity of the examination field of view, ensure that doctors can accurately observe the internal situation of the trachea, and avoid missed diagnosis caused by sputum obstruction.

[0051] Embodiment 2

[0052] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , this embodiment makes the following optimizations on the basis of Embodiment 1. Specifically, the pipeline traveling mechanism 5 includes a fixed seat 51 and an electric slider mechanism 6. A guide groove 52 is opened inside the fixed seat 51. A straight rack 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide groove 52. Guide sliding grooves 54 are opened on both sides of the guide groove 52;

[0053] The electric slider mechanism 6 includes a slider base 61 and an arc-shaped fixed cover 62. The slider base 61 is slidably connected to the guide groove 52. Guide sliders are fixedly connected to both sides of the slider base 61. The guide sliders are slidably connected to the guide sliding grooves 54. A third servo motor 63 is installed inside the slider base 61. A third output gear 64 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third servo motor 63. One end of the third output gear 64 is meshed with a speed change gear 65. The speed change gear 65 is rotatably connected inside the slider base 61. One side of the speed change gear 65 extends out of the slider base 61 and is meshed with the straight rack 53; Limiting grooves 66 are opened on the inner walls of the slider base 61 and the arc-shaped fixed cover 62.

[0054] In this embodiment, during the insertion of the main pipeline 1, the pipeline traveling mechanism 5 precisely controls the running speed and force of the third servo motor 63 according to a preset program. The third servo motor 63 drives the slider base 61 to move smoothly in the guiding groove 52 of the fixed seat 51 through a series of gear transmissions, thereby realizing precise control of the movement of the main pipeline 1 and the position of the head steering mechanism 2.

[0055] Embodiment 3

[0056] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , this embodiment makes the following optimizations on the basis of Example 1 or Example 2. Specifically, the sputum aspiration mechanism 7 includes a placement groove 71, a storage barrel 72, and an installation box 73.

The end of the exhaust pipe 78 extends out of the installation box 73 and is fixedly connected with a dust-proof net 79; the tail of the main pipeline 1 is connected to the first interface 75.

[0057] In this embodiment, during the inspection, if it is found that there is sputum or other secretions in the trachea affecting the vision, the sputum aspiration mechanism 7 can be quickly activated. The negative pressure pump 74 generates a strong negative pressure, sucking the sputum from the end of the main pipeline 1 and finally collecting it in the storage barrel 72. This automatic sputum aspiration mechanism can timely remove the secretions in the trachea, ensure the clarity of the inspection vision, and ensure that the doctor can accurately observe the internal situation of the trachea, avoiding missed diagnosis caused by sputum occlusion;

[0058] The collected sputum is centrally collected through the storage barrel 72, which is convenient for subsequent processing and analysis. This processing method not only ensures that the sputum will not spread during the inspection process and cause cross-infection, but also can provide samples for further pathological examination, helping to clarify the cause and providing a more comprehensive basis for the diagnosis and treatment of the patient.

[0059] Working principle

[0060] Device assembly: First, connect the end of the main pipeline 1 to the first interface 75 at the top of the storage bucket 72, connect the suction pipe 77 of the negative pressure pump 74 to the second interface 76 at the top of the storage bucket 72. Then, unclip the arc-shaped fixing cover 62 from the slider base 61, place the limiting ring 12 part of the main pipeline 1 between the arc-shaped fixing cover 62 and the slider base 61, and then clip on the arc-shaped fixing cover 62 to fix the main pipeline 1. Finally, insert the head turning mechanism 2 into the end of the main pipeline 1, and the device is assembled;

[0061] Patient preparation and device insertion: The patient takes a suitable position, usually the supine position or semi-sitting position. After local anesthesia of the patient's nasal cavity or oral cavity, dip the end of the main pipeline 1 with an appropriate amount of lubricant. The operator holds the main pipeline 1 and slowly inserts it into the patient's nasal cavity or oral cavity, and then gradually advances downward along the pharynx. During the advancement process, the pipeline traveling mechanism 5 starts to work, controls the running speed and force of the third servo motor 63 according to the preset program. The third servo motor 63 drives the transmission gear 65 to rotate through the third output gear 64. The transmission gear 65 drives the slider base 61 to move in the guide groove 52 of the fixed seat 51 through the straight rack 53, thereby controlling the movement of the main pipeline 1 and the position of the head turning mechanism 2;

[0062] Head turning and angle adjustment: When the main pipeline 1 enters the trachea, the head turning mechanism 2 starts to function. The processor automatically rotates the first servo motor 32 and the second servo motor 42 according to the pre-set target position or the image information collected by the camera 22 in real time, so that the head of the bronchoscope turns to the appropriate direction and is adjusted to the best angle to clearly observe the internal situation of the trachea. When the first servo motor 32 operates, it drives the annular rack 36 to rotate through the first output gear 33, and then drives the annular slider 34 to rotate through the annular limiting groove 35, and finally drives the rotating ring 4 to rotate. The second servo motor 42 drives the arc-shaped rack 46 to rotate through the second output gear 43. The arc-shaped rack 46 drives the swing ring 24 to rotate a certain angle through the swing rod 44. Through the combination of the two groups of mechanisms, any angle can be adjusted.

[0063] Trachea condition detection and diagnosis: The camera 22 starts to collect the image information inside the trachea and transmits the image data to the processor. The processor uses the internal image recognition algorithm for processing. The image recognition algorithm analyzes and diagnoses the image, identifies the lesion area and foreign body situation, and displays the relevant information on the display screen 13;

[0064] Sputum aspiration and treatment: During the examination, if it is found that sputum or other secretions in the trachea affect the vision, the sputum aspiration mechanism 7 is activated. The negative pressure pump 74 generates negative pressure, sucks the sputum from the end of the main pipeline 1, and finally collects it through the storage bucket 72;

[0065] Navigation: The positioning module 23 continuously monitors the position information of the main pipeline 1 within the trachea in real time and feeds the data back to the processor. The processor automatically calculates the traveling path of the bronchoscope based on the position information of the navigation system and the target position, and controls the operation of the pipeline traveling mechanism 5. The operator can understand the position and movement trajectory of the bronchoscope in real time through the navigation interface on the display screen, ensuring the safety and accuracy of the operation;

[0066] End of inspection and removal of the device: After completing the inspection and treatment of the trachea, the pipeline traveling mechanism 5 controls the main pipeline 1 mirror to slowly withdraw from the trachea. During the withdrawal process, pay attention to observing the patient's reaction and the position change of the bronchoscope to ensure a safe withdrawal. After withdrawal, turn off the device power, remove the main pipeline 1, and clean and disinfect the main pipeline 1 and the head steering mechanism 2.

[0067] In summary:

[0068] The device of the present invention is assembled conveniently and efficiently: The device adopts a unique assembly design. First, connect the end of the main pipeline 1 to the first interface 75 at the top of the storage barrel 72, then connect the suction pipe 77 of the negative pressure pump 74 to the second interface 76 at the top of the storage barrel 72. Subsequently, simply snap the arc-shaped fixing cover 62 off the slider base 61 through a snap-fit operation, and use the limiting ring 12 to firmly fix the main pipeline 1 between the arc-shaped fixing cover 62 and the slider base 61. This assembly method has simple and clear operation steps, does not require complex tools or professional skills, can quickly complete the assembly of the device, greatly shortens the device preparation time, and improves the efficiency of medical work. The main pipeline 1 is fixed through the cooperation of the limiting ring 12, the arc-shaped fixing cover 62, and the slider base 61, ensuring the stability of the main pipeline 1 during the operation of the device. This stable structural design can effectively reduce the shaking and displacement of the device during operation, ensure the accuracy and safety of bronchoscope inspection, and reduce the risk of damage to the patient caused by device instability.

[0069] The device insertion process of the present invention is optimized: During the device insertion process, the pipeline traveling mechanism 5 precisely controls the running speed and force of the third servo motor 63 according to a preset program. The third servo motor 63 drives the slider base 61 to move smoothly within the guide groove 52 of the fixed seat 51 through a series of gear transmissions, thereby achieving precise control of the movement of the main pipeline 1 and the position of the head steering mechanism 2. This precise control method can ensure that the main pipeline 1 is slowly and smoothly inserted into the patient's nasal cavity or oral cavity and gradually advances downward along the pharynx, avoiding damage to the patient's respiratory tract caused by too fast or too forceful insertion, and at the same time improving the insertion success rate of the device;

[0070] The angle adjustment of the present invention is flexible and accurate: when the main pipeline 1 enters the trachea, the head steering mechanism 2 plays an important role. The processor automatically controls the rotation of the first servo motor 32 and the second servo motor 42 according to the preset target position or the image information collected by the camera 22 in real time. The first servo motor 32 drives the rotating ring 4 to rotate through gear transmission, and the second servo motor 42 drives the swinging ring 24 to rotate a certain angle through another set of gear transmission. The two sets of mechanisms work together to realize the flexible adjustment of the tracheal lens head in any direction and angle, ensuring that the doctor can clearly observe various parts of the inside of the trachea without missing any diseased area, greatly improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the diagnosis. With the help of the image information collected by the camera 22 in real time, the processor can dynamically adjust the angle of the head steering mechanism 2 according to the actual situation, so that it is always aimed at the part that needs to be observed. This real-time image-guided adjustment method not only improves the efficiency of the examination, but also allows the doctor to understand the situation inside the trachea more intuitively, timely discover and focus on the diseased area, and provide strong support for subsequent diagnosis and treatment;

[0071] The sputum suction and treatment of the present invention is timely and effective: during the inspection process, if sputum or other secretions are found in the trachea that affect the field of vision, the sputum suction mechanism 7 can be quickly started, and the negative pressure pump 74 generates a strong negative pressure to suck the sputum from the end of the main pipeline 1 and finally collect it in the storage bucket 72. This automatic sputum suction mechanism can timely remove the secretions in the trachea, ensure the clarity of the inspection field, ensure that the doctor can accurately observe the situation inside the trachea, and avoid missed diagnosis due to sputum obstruction. The sucked sputum is centrally collected by the storage bucket 72, which is convenient for subsequent processing and analysis. This processing method ensures that the sputum will not spread during the inspection process and cause cross infection;

[0072] The navigation function of the present invention ensures safe and accurate operation: the positioning module 23 monitors the position information of the main pipeline 1 in the trachea in real time, and feeds back the data to the processor. The processor automatically calculates the travel path of the bronchoscope according to the position information of the navigation system and the preset target position, and accurately controls the operation of the pipeline travel mechanism 5, which enables the operator to understand the position and movement trajectory of the bronchoscope in real time through the navigation interface on the display screen, so as to be more targeted during the operation, ensuring that the bronchoscope is inspected and treated according to the predetermined route, greatly improving the safety and accuracy of the operation. The accurate navigation function can prevent the bronchoscope from getting lost in the trachea or entering a dangerous area, reducing the risk of damage to the tracheal wall and other surrounding tissues;

[0073] The device extraction of the present invention is safe and reliable: After the inspection and treatment of the trachea are completed, the pipeline traveling mechanism 5 can accurately control the main pipeline 1 to slowly withdraw from the trachea. During the withdrawal process, the operator can closely observe the patient's reaction and the position change of the bronchoscope, timely discover and handle possible problems, and ensure the safe withdrawal of the device. This stable withdrawal method can avoid damaging the patient's respiratory tract due to the sudden extraction of the device, thus ensuring the safety of the patient.
