[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 3 A snake bone segment ring comprises: a segment ring body 100, on the peripheral wall of which is provided a connecting ear group 110 folded toward the inner cavity of the segment ring body 100; a roller needle 200 connected to the connecting ear group 110, the roller needle 200 and the connecting ear group 110 define a wire groove 210, and the wire groove 210 is used for passing a traction wire; a sleeve 300, rotatably sleeved on the roller needle 200, and the sleeve 300 is used to support the traction wire. A connecting ear group 110 is provided on the node ring body 100 to provide a connection basis for the needle roller 200. The sleeve 300 is rotatable, so the space defined between the sleeve 300 and the connecting ear group 110 can be used for the traction wire to pass through. Because the sleeve 300 can rotate, the traction wire will have less wear on the sleeve 300, that is, the sliding friction between the traction wire and the wire groove is changed to rolling friction between the sleeve 300 and the needle roller 200, thereby extending the service life of the traction wire, thereby extending the service life of the snake bone composed of the snake bone node ring and improving the reliability of the snake bone. It can be understood that the so-called wire groove 210 is actually a groove that limits the traction wire, so that the traction wire is connected to the first node ring 400 according to the predetermined direction.

[0030] In some embodiments, a plurality of connecting ear groups 110 are provided, each connecting ear group 110 includes two connecting ears 111, and the roller needle 200 is connected between the two connecting ears 111. The connecting ear group 110 is used for the traction wire to pass through. A plurality of connecting ear groups 110 can realize different ways of threading the wire, so that the bending ways of the snake bone are different.

[0031] In some embodiments, two groups of connecting ear groups 110 are provided, and the two groups of connecting ear groups 110 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the node ring body 100. The symmetrically arranged connecting ear groups 110 can balance the traction force of the traction wire, so that the bending of the snake bone in two directions is more excellent.

[0032] In some embodiments, at least one end of the needle roller 200 is welded to the connecting ear 111, and the welded needle roller 200 is not easily affected by the traction wire and detached. It can be understood that both connecting ears 111 are provided with sockets, and the needle roller 200 is inserted into the sockets on the connecting ears 111 from the process hole 120. Before welding, the sleeve 300 is pre-placed between the two connecting ears 111, so that the needle roller 200 passes through the sleeve and is connected to the two connecting ears 111, and then the two ends of the needle roller 200 are welded, so that the sleeve 300 can be encapsulated between the two connecting ears 111.

[0033] In some embodiments, the sleeve 300 is accommodated between two connecting ears 111, and the connecting ears 111 are used to block the end of the sleeve 300, so that the axial displacement of the sleeve 300 is small, reducing the sliding friction of the sleeve 300 on the traction wire.

[0034] In some embodiments, a process hole 120 is provided on the node ring body 100, and the process hole 120 is used to insert the roller needle 200 so that the roller needle 200 is plugged into the two connecting ears 111.

The snake bone is provided with a connecting ear group 110 on the segment ring body 100 to provide a connection basis for the roller needle 200. The sleeve 300 is rotatable, so the space defined between the sleeve 300 and the connecting ear group 110 can be used for the traction wire to pass through. Because the sleeve 300 can be rotated, the traction wire will have less wear on the sleeve 300, that is, the sliding friction between the traction wire and the wire groove is changed into the rolling friction between the sleeve 300 and the roller needle 200, thereby extending the service life of the traction wire, thereby extending the service life of the snake bone composed of the snake bone segment rings, and improving the reliability of the snake bone.

[0036] An endoscope includes a snake bone. Because a connecting ear group 110 is provided on a node ring body 100 of the endoscope to provide a connection basis for a needle roller 200, and because a sleeve 300 is provided that is rotatable, a space defined between the sleeve 300 and the connecting ear group 110 can be used for a traction wire to pass through.
