[0080] In particular, the bearing unit 1 comprises:

[0081] A first support frame 11 is provided with supporting legs at the bottom;

[0082] A second support frame 12 is provided with supporting legs at the bottom and is fixedly connected with the first support frame 11.

[0088] The positioning assembly 21 comprises:

[0089] The handle part positioning assembly 211, which is used for fixing the endoscope handle part 31;

[0090] The insertion tube positioning assembly 212, which is selectively arranged in multiple, and the multiple insertion tube positioning assemblies 212 are arranged in a linear array, and the multiple insertion tube positioning assemblies 212 are used for fixing the insertion tube 32.

[0096] In the process of fixing the endoscope body 3, the rotating frame 2114 is first rotated so that the limiting bar 2117 rotates accordingly and is no longer in a vertical state, so that the limiting bar 2117 no longer squeezes the positioning bar 2113. At this time, the positioning bar 2113 can be rotated upward, and then the endoscope handle part 31 is placed in the placement groove 2119 above the placement seat 2111. Then the rotating frame 2114 is rotated in the opposite direction to reset the limiting bar 2117.
