[0003] Therefore, a portable endoscopic transport device for bedside emergency endoscopy is provided to address the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable endoscopic transport device for bedside emergency endoscopy, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A portable endoscope transport device for bedside emergency endoscopy includes a transport box with a hinged door. The transport box has an inflatable structure inside, including a protective airbag. The protective airbag has a placement slot for placing the endoscope.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention: wherein, the bottom side of the protective airbag is fixedly and through-connected with a connector, a fixed air pipe is installed on the bottom wall inside the transfer box, the fixed box is in communication with the fixed air pipe, and the fixed air pipe and the connector are mating components.
[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention: grooves are provided on both sides of the fixing frame, and airbag protrusions are installed inside the grooves. The airbag protrusions are in communication with the protective airbags. Symmetrical limiting slots are provided inside the inner wall of the transfer box, and the limiting slots and the airbag protrusions are mating components.
[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a groove is provided between the grooves, and the groove is formed on the fixed frame.
[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: multiple anti-collision corners are fixedly connected to the corners of the fixed frame, and the interior of the anti-collision corners is filled with non-Newtonian bodies.
[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a plurality of tooth blocks are fixedly connected to the lower side of the first tooth plate, the tooth blocks pass through the fixing frame and are fixedly connected to the first tooth plate, a rotating gear is provided on the lower side of the tooth block, the rotating gear meshes with the tooth block, a fixed air box is installed on one side of the rotating gear, a second tooth plate is meshed on the lower side of the rotating gear, the second tooth plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the transfer box, an air plug rod is slidably connected inside the fixed air box, and the air plug rod is fixedly connected to the second tooth plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0016] 1. Through a precise mechanical-pneumatic linkage design, the fixation, protection, release, and placement of the endoscope are bound to a single user operation (opening / closing the box door); this achieves a one-stop operation logic of "automatic inflation, fixation, and locking when the box door is closed, and automatic deflation, release, and assisted lifting when the box door is opened," which greatly simplifies the workflow, saves valuable time in emergency environments, and reduces operational complexity and personnel training costs.
[0017] 2. The airbag provides overall encapsulation and cushioning. After being connected through micropores, the limiting airbag slowly inflates under the pressure of the main airbag, adaptively filling the irregular gaps between the endoscope and the placement slot, achieving a tight, uniform fit and three-dimensional limiting of the endoscope contour. Combined with the impact-resistant corner filled with non-Newtonian fluid, a progressive protection system of "rigid shell - non-Newtonian buffer - flexible airbag encapsulation" is formed, which can effectively absorb and disperse the impact and vibration during transportation, significantly reducing the risk of damage to the endoscope (especially precision components such as CCD lenses and curved parts) due to shaking and bumps.
[0018] 3. The lifting mechanism smoothly elevates the fixed frame and the endoscope within it to a certain height, making the operating end of the endoscope easier for medical staff to grasp. This avoids the need for strenuous searching within a deep compartment, making it particularly suitable for emergency, rapid-response bedside examinations, thus improving user experience and operational efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] Please see Figures 1-9 A portable endoscope transport device for bedside emergency endoscopy includes a transport box 1 with a hinged door 101. The transport box 1 has an internal inflatable structure, including a protective airbag 213 with a placement slot 209 for placing the endoscope. A fixing frame 212 is fixedly connected to the outside of the protective airbag 213 and placed inside the transport box 1. In this embodiment, the transport box 1 serves as the basic support structure. The door 101 opens and closes via a hinge, providing a channel for inserting and removing the endoscope. The core component of the inflatable structure is the protective airbag 213, whose placement slot 209 is adapted to the shape of the endoscope. (The uninflated protective airbag 213) forms a wrap-around placement space for the endoscope. The fixing frame 212 shapes and supports the flexible protective airbag 213, preventing deformation or displacement due to inflation or endoscope placement.
[0031] Furthermore, multiple anti-collision corners 211 are fixedly connected to the corners of the fixed frame 212, and the interior of the anti-collision corners 211 is filled with non-Newtonian bodies; the anti-collision corners 211 are installed at the corners of the fixed frame 212 (the parts prone to collision), and by utilizing the properties of non-Newtonian bodies, they absorb external impact forces during transportation, preventing the impact forces from being transmitted to the protective airbag 213 and the endoscope, thus providing a buffer protection for the endoscope.
[0032] The above structure protects the endoscope through the transport box 1, the fixing frame 212, and the protective airbag 213. The transport box 1 and the fixing frame 212 are made of rigid PVC, while the protective airbag 213 is made of flexible PVC. The whole structure protects the endoscope by combining rigid and flexible materials. In addition, the transport box 1 is small and easy to carry.
[0033] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the placement groove 209 is equipped with multiple limiting airbags 210, which are connected to the protective airbag 213 through capillary pores. In this embodiment, the protective airbag 213 and the limiting airbag 210 are connected through capillary pores to form a connected air passage structure. When the protective airbag 213 is inflated, gas can slowly enter the limiting airbag 210 through the capillary pores, causing the limiting airbag 210 to expand synchronously. After expansion, the limiting airbag 210 can fit the surface gap of the endoscope, further enhancing the limiting effect on the endoscope and preventing the endoscope from shifting or scraping within the placement groove 209. The flow-limiting effect of the capillary pores can prevent the limiting airbag 210 from inflating too quickly, resulting in excessive pressure and preventing damage to the precision components on the surface of the endoscope.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the inflation structure also includes two sets of meshing fixed gears 2. One of the fixed gears 2 is fixedly connected to the hinge shaft of the box door 101. Two sets of transmission gears 201 are rotatably connected inside the side wall of the transfer box 1. The two sets of transmission gears 201 mesh through a gear belt 202. The other fixed gear 2 is fixedly connected to the transmission gear 201. A fixed frame 203 is fixedly connected inside the inner wall of the transfer box 1. A first toothed plate 204 is slidably connected to the upper side of the fixed frame 203. The first toothed plate 204 meshes with the transmission gear 201. A fixed box 205 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame 203. A movable plug 206 is slidably connected inside the fixed box 205. The movable plug 206 is fixedly connected to the first toothed plate 204. A plug pipe is fixedly and continuously connected to the bottom side of the protective airbag 213. A fixed air pipe 214 is installed on the bottom wall inside the transfer box 1. The fixed box 205 and the fixed air pipe 214 are connected. The fixed air pipe 214 and the plug pipe are mating components.
[0035] In this embodiment, the fixed box 205 and the fixed air pipe 214 in the above structure form a connected air passage. When the fixed frame 212 is placed into the transfer box 1, the insertion pipe on the bottom side of the protective airbag 213 can be accurately inserted into the fixed air pipe 214 to form a closed gas delivery channel. When the box door 101 rotates around the hinge axis (closes), it drives the fixed gear 2 fixed thereto to rotate. The two sets of fixed gears 2 mesh with each other, thereby driving the transmission gear 201 connected thereto to rotate. The gear belt 202 ensures that the two sets of transmission gears 201 rotate synchronously. The transmission gear 201 meshes with the first toothed plate 204, converting the rotational motion into the linear sliding motion of the first toothed plate 204. The first toothed plate 204 drives the movable plug 206 to slide synchronously within the fixed box 205. When the movable plug 206 slides, it compresses the gas inside the fixed box 205, forming a high-pressure gas source. The high-pressure gas source enters the protective airbag 213, causing the protective airbag 213, which was originally in a compressed state, to inflate. This allows the entire endoscope to be completely embedded inside the placement slot 209, thus protecting the entire endoscope. Conversely, when the box door 101 is opened, the movable plug 206 moves in the opposite direction, causing the gas inside the protective airbag 213 to flow back into the fixed box 205, thereby causing the protective airbag 213 to be in a deflated state, making it easier to remove the endoscope from the protective airbag 213.
[0036] Furthermore, grooves are provided on both sides of the fixed frame 212, and airbag protrusions 207 are installed inside the grooves. The airbag protrusions 207 communicate with the protective airbag 213. Symmetrical limiting slots 215 are provided inside the inner wall of the transfer box 1. The limiting slots 215 and the airbag protrusions 207 are mating components. A groove 208 is provided between the grooves and is provided on the fixed frame 212. In this embodiment, when the protective airbag 213 is inflated, the airbag protrusions 207 will expand and bulge, and then engage with the limiting slots 215, thereby limiting and protecting the fixed frame 212 inside the transfer box 1 and preventing shaking during transportation.
[0037] Preferably, a plurality of toothed blocks 303 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the first toothed plate 204. The toothed blocks 303 pass through the fixing frame 203 and are fixedly connected to the first toothed plate 204. A rotating gear 3 is provided on the lower side of the toothed blocks 303, and the rotating gear 3 meshes with the toothed blocks 303. A fixed air box 301 is installed on one side of the rotating gear 3. A second toothed plate 302 meshes with the lower side of the rotating gear 3. The second toothed plate 302 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the transfer box 1. An air plug rod is slidably connected inside the fixed air box 301. The air plug rod is connected to... The second toothed plate 302 is fixedly connected. An installation groove 304 is provided on the bottom side of the inner side of the transfer box 1. A lifting structure 306 is installed in the installation groove 304, and a lifting plate 307 is installed on the lifting structure 306. A movable groove 305 is provided on one side of the installation groove 304. A push rod 308 is slidably connected inside the movable groove 305. The push rod 308 is hinged to the lifting structure 306. The movable groove 305 communicates with the fixed air box 301. When the transfer box 1 is in the open state, because the first toothed plate 204 moves to the left (towards... Figure 2 (For reference), when the door 101 is opened to more than 90°, the tooth block 303 under the first tooth plate 204 engages with the rotating gear 3, thereby causing the rotating gear 3 to rotate. When the rotating gear 3 rotates, it drives the second tooth plate 302 to move to the right, thereby pushing the air plug rod inside the fixed air box 301 to move to the right, so that the gas inside the fixed air box 301 enters the movable groove 305. After the gas enters the movable groove 305, it pushes the push rod 308 to move, so that the originally straight lifting structure 306 becomes X-shaped (scissor lift mechanism), thereby raising the lifting plate 307. The raising of the lifting plate 307 will lift the fixed frame 212 located on the upper side, making it easier for the staff to remove the fixed frame 212 inside the box.
[0038] Working principle: Open the door 101 and place the endoscope into the placement slot 209 of the fixing frame 212. Place the fixing frame 212 entirely into the transfer box 1. At this time, the protective airbag 213 and the limiting airbag 210 are in a deflated state. When the door 101 is closed, its hinge shaft drives the fixed gear 2 to rotate. Through the gear set and gear belt 202, the first toothed plate 204 is driven to slide. The first toothed plate 204 pushes the movable plug 206 to compress the air in the fixing box 205. The compressed gas is injected into the protective airbag 213 through the fixed air tube 214 to inflate it and wrap the endoscope body; at the same time, the gas is slowly filled into each limiting airbag 210 through the micropores to achieve self-adaptive filling and fixation. During this process, the airbag protrusion 207, which is connected to the protective airbag 213, expands synchronously and engages with the limiting slot 215, locking the fixed frame 212 inside the transfer box 1. The box door 101 is opened, the transmission system moves in the reverse direction, the movable plug 206 resets, allowing the gas inside the airbag to flow back. The protective airbag 213 and the limiting airbag 210 contract to release the endoscope, and the airbag protrusion 207 retracts to release the lock. When the opening angle of the box door 101 exceeds the set range (e.g., 90°), the toothed block 303 on the lower side of the first toothed plate 204 meshes with the rotating gear 3, causing it to rotate. The rotating gear 3 drives the second toothed plate 302 to move, pushing the air plug rod inside the fixed air box 301 to force gas into the movable slot 305. The gas pushes the push rod 308 to move, causing the lifting structure 306 (e.g., a scissor mechanism) to unfold from its retracted state, thereby lifting the lifting plate 307 and raising the fixed frame 212 and the endoscope as a whole for easy retrieval.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
