"Include" or "comprise" and similar words mean that the elements or objects appearing before the word cover the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. "Connect" or "connected" and similar words are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0063] In some examples, the endoscopic inspection device includes an endoscope 10 and an image processor electrically connected to the endoscope 10. During inspection or surgery, the endoscope 10 can obtain images of the inspection site or the surgical site, which can be displayed to the inspector or doctor through a display device after being processed by the image processor.

[0064] refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the endoscope 10 may include a handle 100, an insertion portion 200, and a tip 300. The insertion portion 200 has a first end connected to the handle 100 and a second end away from the handle 100. The tip 300 is disposed at the second end of the insertion portion 200, and the tip 300 includes a camera module 310. When the insertion portion 200 is inserted into a human cavity, the camera module 310 can obtain images in the human cavity.

[0065] refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the handle 100 may extend at its bottom to form a gripping area 101 for the user to hold. In a specific implementation, the handle 100 may be pistol-shaped.

[0066] In some examples, the handle 100 may have a receiving cavity, and the insertion portion 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity of the handle from the front end of the handle 100. The front end is the end of the handle 100 that faces away from the operator when the operator holds it. In a specific implementation, the receiving cavity can be used to install cables and control devices electrically connected to the camera module 310.

[0067] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Fig.11 In some examples, the insertion part 200 may include an inner tube 210 and an outer tube 220. The outer tube 220 is sleeved outside the inner tube 210, and a first channel is formed between the outer tube 220 and the inner tube 210. The first channel can be used to inject liquid medicine into the human body cavity, and can also be used to pass the cable connected to the camera module 310. A second channel is formed inside the inner tube 210, and the second channel can be used to discharge the liquid in the human body cavity, and can also be used as an instrument channel, that is, a channel for passing surgical instruments, such as sampling instruments and cutting instruments.

[0068] refer to Fig.11 In some examples, the outer tube 220 may be eccentrically disposed with respect to the inner tube 210. In this case, the inner diameter of the first channel can be increased as much as possible, thereby facilitating drainage and threading.

[0069] refer to Figure 4 In some examples, the end head 300 has a first end connected to the second end of the insertion part 200 and a second end away from the insertion part 200, and the second end of the end head 300 is provided with a camera module 310. In a specific implementation, the end head 300 can extend from its second end to its interior to form a receiving cavity, and the receiving cavity is used to install the camera module 310. In addition, a light-transmitting sheet can also be provided at the cavity opening of the receiving cavity to prevent the camera module 310 from being contaminated by the liquid in the human body cavity.

[0070] refer to Figure 4 In some examples, the tip 300 may form a water outlet 320 and a water inlet 330 on the periphery of the accommodating cavity. The water outlet 320 is connected to the first channel, and when the liquid medicine is injected into the human body cavity, the liquid medicine can be injected into the human body cavity through the water outlet 320. The water inlet 330 is connected to the second channel, and when the liquid in the human body cavity is discharged, the liquid can enter the second channel through the water inlet 330.

[0071] refer to Figure 4 In some examples, the end 300 can be inclined or bent relative to the second channel to avoid the second channel. In this case, the second channel can be prevented from being compressed by the accommodating cavity and causing a reduction in radial dimension, thereby ensuring that the surgical instrument can be smoothly extended to the affected area without increasing the radial dimensions of the end 300 and the outer tube 220.

[0072] refer to Figure 4 In some examples, the camera module 310 may include a lighting module 311 and a lens module 312. The lighting module 311 is configured to emit light to the outside, and the lens module 312 is configured to acquire external images. In this case, the brightness in the human body cavity can be increased, thereby ensuring that the image has sufficient clarity, which is conducive to improving image quality.

[0073] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some examples, the endoscope 10 may further include a core tube assembly 400 .

[0074] In some examples, the core tube assembly 400 is configured to fix the insertion portion 200 and drive the insertion portion 200 to rotate circumferentially relative to the handle 100 .

[0075] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some examples, the core tube assembly 400 may include a core tube 410, which is disposed in the accommodating cavity and sleeved on the first end of the insertion portion 200, and the core tube 410 may be configured to drive the insertion portion 200 to rotate circumferentially relative to the handle 100. Specifically, the core tube 410 is rotatably disposed in the accommodating cavity, and the core tube 410 may be circumferentially fixed to the insertion portion 200, and when the core tube 410 rotates circumferentially relative to the handle 100, the insertion portion 200 can be rotated circumferentially relative to the handle 100. In this case, the insertion portion 200 can be rotated circumferentially by operating the core tube 410, thereby adjusting the field of view of the camera module 310.

[0076] refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11 In some examples, a fixing block 500 may be provided between the core tube 410 and the inserting portion 200, and the fixing block 500 is configured to limit the circumferential rotation of the inserting portion 200 relative to the core tube 410. In this case, the inserting portion 200 and the core tube 410 can be circumferentially fixed. Moreover, compared with the method of using glue for circumferential fixing, such a setting can also simplify the process and improve the assembly efficiency.

[0077] In some examples, the fixing block 500 can be independently provided relative to the core tube 410 and the inserting portion 200. This can reduce the requirements of the core tube 410 and the inserting portion 200 on the tube material, such as the thickness of the tube material, thereby reducing the cost.

[0078] refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11In some examples, the fixing block 500 may be provided with a first limiting portion 501 and a second limiting portion 502. The first limiting portion 501 may cooperate with the third limiting portion 411 provided on the core tube 410 to limit the circumferential rotation of the fixing block 500 relative to the core tube 410. The second limiting portion 502 may cooperate with the fourth limiting portion 221 provided on the insertion portion 200 to limit the circumferential rotation of the insertion portion 200 relative to the fixing block 500. In this case, the fixing block 500 can be independently provided relative to the core tube 410 and the insertion portion 200, so as to help reduce the requirements of the core tube 410 and the insertion portion 200 on the tube material.

[0079] In some examples, one of the first limiting portion 501 and the third limiting portion 411 may be a groove, and the other may be a protrusion. Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the first limiting portion 501 is a groove, and the third limiting portion 411 is a protrusion. When the third limiting portion 411 is accommodated in the first limiting portion 501, the circumferential fixation between the fixing block 500 and the core tube 410 can be achieved. The embodiment of the present application shows that the number of the first limiting portions 501 is multiple, and the multiple first limiting portions 501 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the insertion portion 200.

[0080] In some examples, one of the second limiting portion 502 and the fourth limiting portion 221 may be a groove, and the other may be a protrusion. Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the second limiting portion 502 is a protrusion, and the fourth limiting portion 221 is a groove. When the second limiting portion 502 is accommodated in the fourth limiting portion 221, the circumferential fixation between the insertion portion 200 and the fixing block 500 can be achieved.

[0081] In some examples, the number of the fixing blocks 500 may be multiple, and the multiple fixing blocks 500 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the insertion portion 200. Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the fixing block 500 includes a first fixing block 510 and a second fixing block 520, both of which are semicircular, and are respectively located on both sides of the outer tube 220 and are arranged around the outer circumference of the outer tube 220. In this case, the core tube 410 and the insertion part 200 can be evenly stressed to avoid damage due to excessive local stress.

[0082] In some examples, the fixing block 500 can slide relative to the axial direction of the core tube 410. That is, the first limiting portion 501 and the second limiting portion 502 are slidably matched. Figure 6As shown, the fixing block 500 can be first assembled to the insertion part 200, and then the fixing block 500 and the insertion part 200 can be assembled to the core tube 410. In this case, it is easy to assemble the fixing block 500, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency.

[0083] In some examples, the first limit portion 501 and the third limit portion 411 may be constructed to limit the rotation angle of the insertion portion 200 when it is assembled on the core tube 410. That is, when the insertion portion 200 is at a specific rotation angle relative to the core tube 410, the insertion portion 200 can be inserted into the core tube 410, and when the insertion portion 200 is at an angle other than the specific rotation angle relative to the core tube 410, the insertion portion 200 cannot be inserted into the core tube 410. In a specific implementation, the intervals between the multiple first limit portions 501 may be different, or the depths of the multiple first limit portions 501 may be different, or the widths of the multiple first limit portions 501 may be different (e.g., Fig.10 In this case, the assembly accuracy of the insertion portion 200 and the core tube 410 can be guaranteed, and the accuracy of the inspection can be avoided from being affected by assembly errors.

[0084] In some examples, the second limiting portion 502 and the fourth limiting portion 221 can be configured to limit the position of each fixing block 500 in the insertion portion 200. That is, when the fixing block 500 is at a specific position relative to the insertion portion 200, the fixing block 500 can be assembled to the insertion portion 200, and when the fixing block 500 is at a position other than the specific position relative to the insertion portion 200, the fixing block 500 cannot be assembled to the insertion portion 200. In a specific implementation, the second limiting portions 502 located at different fixing blocks 500 can have different lengths, or the second limiting portions 502 located at different fixing blocks 500 can have different widths, or the second limiting portions 502 located at different fixing blocks 500 can have different heights, etc. In this case, the foolproof function can be achieved to ensure the accuracy of the assembly of the insertion portion 200.

[0085] In some examples, the core tube 410 may have a first end sleeved on the insertion portion 200 and a second end away from the insertion portion 200 .

[0086] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 In some examples, the core tube assembly may further include a first end cap 420, which may be disposed at a first end of the core tube 410, and the first end cap 420 may be configured to limit the insertion portion 200 from being dislodged from the core tube 410. Specifically, the first end cap 420 may be limitedly matched with the fixing block 500 to limit the insertion portion 200 from being dislodged from the core tube 410.

[0087] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8In some examples, the first end cap 420 may have a first connection portion 421, and the first connection portion 421 is detachably connected to the core tube 410. In a specific implementation, the insertion portion 200 may be inserted into the core tube 410 first, and then the first end cap 420 may be connected to the first end of the core tube 410, thereby limiting the insertion portion.

[0088] In some examples, the first connection portion 421 and the core tube 410 may be connected in a snap-fit ​​manner. Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first connecting portion 421 is provided with a first clamping groove 4211, and the first end of the core tube 410 is provided with a first buckle 412. When the first clamping groove 4211 and the first buckle 412 are engaged, the first end cover 420 and the core tube 410 are buckled together. In this case, the first end cover 420 can be easily disassembled and assembled, thereby facilitating the assembly efficiency.

[0089] refer to Figure 6 In some examples, the first connection portion 421 is sleeved on the first end of the core tube 410, and the first connection portion 421 is configured to be able to radially expand and contract when moving relative to the axial direction of the core tube 410. When contracted, the first connection portion 421 and the core tube 410 are snap-connected, and when extended, the first connection portion 421 and the core tube 410 are disconnected. Specifically, when the first end cover 420 moves relative to the axial direction of the core tube 410, the first connection portion 421 can radially contract or expand, thereby achieving connection or disconnection.

[0090] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 In some examples, the first connection portion 421 may be provided with a first groove 4212, and the first groove 4212 is provided along the axial direction of the core tube 410. In this case, the first connection portion 421 can be easily deformed, so that the first connection portion 421 is easy to engage or separate with the first end of the core tube 410.

[0091] In some examples, the core tube assembly 400 is further configured to form a water inlet and outlet channel with the insert portion 200 , so that the first channel enables water inlet and the second channel enables water outlet.

[0092] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9 In some examples, the endoscope 10 may further include a sleeve 430, which is disposed in the accommodating cavity and sleeved on the first connecting portion 421. In this case, failure of the connection between the first end cap 420 and the core tube 410 due to expansion of the first connecting portion 421 under force can be avoided.

[0093] refer to Figure 6In some examples, the sleeve 430 can also be sleeved outside the core tube 410. Specifically, the sleeve 430 is connected and fixed to the handle 100 and rotates with the core tube 410. In this case, the core tube 410 can be supported to prevent the core tube 410 from moving in the accommodating cavity, which is beneficial to the stability of the structure.

Specifically, the sealing assembly 600 can seal the second end of the core tube 410 before and after the surgical instruments are installed. In this case, the sealing performance of the structure can be prevented from being affected by the passing of surgical instruments.

[0110] refer to Fig.12 and Fig.13 In some examples, the sealing assembly 600 may include a duckbill valve 610 and a rear sealing ring 620. The duckbill valve 610 is located in the second end of the core tube 410, and the duckbill valve 610 may be configured to be openable and closable. When opened, the duckbill valve 610 allows the surgical instrument to pass through the second channel, and when closed, the duckbill valve 610 closes the second end of the core tube 410. The rear sealing ring 620 is located in the second end of the core tube 410, and the rear sealing ring 620 may be configured to seal the second end of the core tube 410 when the surgical instrument passes through the second channel. That is, before the surgical instrument is passed through, the sealing assembly 600 may seal the second end of the core tube 410 through the duckbill valve 610, and after the surgical instrument is passed through, the sealing assembly 600 may seal the second end of the core tube 410 through the rear sealing ring 620. In this case, the second end of the core tube 410 can be sealed and the surgical instrument can be allowed to pass through the second channel.

[0111] refer to Fig.13 In some examples, the duckbill valve 610 is located on the side of the rear sealing ring 620 facing the insertion portion 200. This arrangement allows the surgical instrument to form a seal with the rear sealing ring 620 before passing through the duckbill valve 610, so that the second end of the core tube 410 can always remain sealed.

In this way, the assembly efficiency of the duckbill valve 610 and the rear sealing ring 620 may be improved.

[0113] refer to Fig.12 In some examples, the sealing sleeve 630 may have a second connecting portion 631 , and the second connecting portion 631 is detachably connected to the core tube 410 .

When contracting, the second connection portion 631 and the core tube 410 are snap-connected, and when extending, the second connection portion 631 and the core tube 410 are disconnected. Specifically, when the sealing sleeve 630 moves relative to the axial direction of the core tube 410, the second end of the core tube 410 can be radially contracted or extended, thereby achieving connection or disconnection.

[0122] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 In some examples, the endoscope 10 may further include a knob 700, which is sleeved on the second end of the core tube 410 and the sealing sleeve 630. In this case, it is possible to avoid connection failure caused by the second end of the core tube 410 and the sealing sleeve 630 expanding due to force.

[0123] refer to Figure 1In some examples, the knob 700 is rotatably disposed on the handle 100, and the knob 700 is connected to the core tube 410. The knob 700 is used to transmit torque to the core tube 410 so that the core tube 410 drives the insertion part 200 to rotate circumferentially relative to the handle 100. In this case, the core tube 410 can be rotated circumferentially by operating the knob 700, thereby driving the insertion part 200 to rotate circumferentially to adjust the field of view of the camera module 310.

[0124] refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the knob 700 may be located at the second end of the core tube 410, and the knob 700 is connected to the second end of the core tube 410. That is, the knob 700 is located on the side of the endoscope 10 facing the operator. In this case, it is convenient for the operator to operate the knob 700, and the risk of the knob 700 being contaminated can be reduced.

[0125] refer to Fig.14 and Fig.15 In some examples, the knob 700 may have a fourth connection portion 701 , and the fourth connection portion 701 is detachably connected to the core tube 410 .

[0126] In some examples, the fourth connection portion 701 and the core tube 410 may be connected in a snap-fit ​​manner. Fig.14 As shown, the fourth connecting portion 701 is provided with a fourth slot 7011, and the second end of the core tube 410 is provided with a fourth buckle 4102. When the fourth slot 7011 and the fourth buckle 4102 are engaged, the knob 700 and the core tube 410 are buckled together. In this case, the knob 700 can be easily disassembled and assembled, which is conducive to improving assembly efficiency.

[0127] refer to Fig.14 In some examples, the knob 700 may have an operating surface 702, and the operating surface 702 is provided with an anti-skid structure. In a specific implementation, the anti-skid structure may be selected from one of protective stripes, protective coatings, and protective particles. In this case, the force required to operate the knob 700 can be reduced, thereby facilitating the operator to operate the knob 700. In addition, since the anti-skid surface is provided, the knob 700 can also be operated to prevent slipping.

[0128] refer to Figure 2 In some examples, the endoscope 10 may further include a control circuit board 800, which is disposed in the accommodating cavity, and is electrically connected to the camera module 310, and the control circuit board 800 is used to control the camera module 310 to obtain images of the human body cavity. In this case, the camera module 310 can be controlled to obtain images of the human body cavity by operating the control circuit board 800.

[0129] In some examples, the control circuit board 800 is electrically connected to a connection cable disposed in the camera module 310. Figure 5 In the specific implementation, Figure 5 As shown, the side wall of the core tube 410 can be provided with a wire outlet 4103, and the two ends of the connection cable passing through the wire outlet 4103 are respectively electrically connected to the camera module 310 and the control circuit board 800. In this case, the electrical connection between the control circuit board 800 and the camera module 310 can be achieved.

[0130] refer to Figure 2 and Fig. 9 In some examples, the connecting cable may be provided with a cable retracting structure 340, and the cable retracting structure 340 may be constructed to be deformable and resilient. When deformed, the cable retracting structure 340 allows the connecting cable to be wound around the core tube 410, and when restored, the cable retracting structure 340 retracts the connecting cable wound around the core tube 410. Specifically, in the process of adjusting the field of view of the camera module 310, the core tube 410 rotates circumferentially relative to the sleeve 430 or the handle 100, so that the connecting cable will be wound around the outside of the core tube 410. If the connecting cable cannot be retracted when the core tube 410 is reset, the connecting cable may be irregularly wound and damaged. Therefore, by providing a cable retracting structure 340 to retract the connecting cable wound around the core tube 410, irregular winding of the connecting cable can be avoided, thereby protecting the connecting cable from damage. It should be noted that, since the core tube 410 can rotate in two directions, namely, clockwise and counterclockwise, the cable retracting structure 340 of the embodiment of the present application should not be limited to the rotation direction of the core tube 410 when deforming or restoring.

[0131] In some examples, the cable retractable structure 340 may be deformed in a specific manner by contraction, stretching, or bending, etc. It should be noted that the cable retractable structure 340 may also be deformed in other manners, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0132] In some examples, the cable retracting structure 340 can be specifically configured to accumulate elastic potential energy when deformed and to recover based on the elastic potential energy. In this case, the cable retracting structure 340 can be automatically recovered. In addition, compared with using a cable winding device to retract the cable, the cable retracting structure 340 has a simple structure and does not require a driving device, which is conducive to reducing the structural load and facilitating the operation of the operator.

[0133] In some examples, the cable retracting structure 340 may be made of an elastic soft material, such as silicone, latex, or rubber.

[0134] refer to Figure 2 and Fig. 9In some examples, the cable retracting structure 340 may be a tubular structure, and the cable retracting structure 340 is sleeved on the connecting cable.

[0135] refer to Fig. 9 In some examples, the cable retracting structure 340 can be disposed at a portion of the connecting cable between the cable outlet 4103 and the control circuit board 800. In this case, it is possible to avoid affecting the drainage effect of the first channel due to the cable retracting structure 340 being disposed in the first channel. In addition, since the cable retracting structure 340 is only disposed locally on the connecting cable, the amount of material used can be reduced, saving costs.

[0136] refer to Fig. 9 In some examples, the cable retracting structure 340 may include a deformation portion 341 and a support portion 342. The deformation portion 341 is freely arranged for deformation and restoration, and the support portion 342 is connected and fixed to the sleeve 430 and supports the deformation portion 341. In a specific implementation, the cable retracting structure 340 may be divided into two sections, one of which is the deformation portion 341 and the other is the support portion 342. In this case, it is possible to avoid that the cable retracting structure 340 as a whole moves with the connected cable and cannot accumulate elastic potential energy, thereby ensuring the recovery effect of the cable retracting structure 340.

[0137] refer to Fig. 9 In some examples, the support portion 342 can be connected and fixed to the fixing portion 435 provided on the sleeve 430, and the support portion 342 and the fixing portion 435 can be connected in a clamping manner. For example, the fixing portion 435 is a clamping block, and the clamping block can clamp the support portion 342 to fix the support portion 342. In this case, it is easy to fix the support portion 342, which is conducive to improving assembly efficiency.

[0139] refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the peripheral connection line 180 may be located at the bottom of the handle 100. In a specific implementation, in this case, it is possible to prevent the contaminated liquid from entering the interior of the handle 100 from the gap between the peripheral connection line 180 and the handle 100, thereby contaminating the internal devices.

[0143] refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the key area 190 may be located on the side of the handle 100 that faces away from the insertion portion 200. In this case, it is possible to prevent the contaminated liquid from entering the interior of the handle 100 from the gap between the key area 190 and the handle 100, thereby contaminating the internal components. In addition, since the key area 190 is located on the side of the handle 100 that faces away from the insertion portion 200, that is, the key area 190 is located on the side of the handle 100 that faces the operator, such a configuration can facilitate the operator to operate the keys.

[0144] In some examples, the control circuit board 800 can also be used to control the opening and closing of the water inlet valve 141 and the water outlet valve 161. Specifically, the control circuit board 800 is electrically connected to the water inlet valve 141 and the water outlet valve 161, respectively, and the opening and closing of the water inlet valve 141 and the water outlet valve 161 can be realized by operating the control circuit board 800.

[0145] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some examples, in order to facilitate the control of the opening and closing of the water inlet valve 141 and the water outlet valve 161, the key area 190 can also be provided with a second key switch 192, and the second key switch 192 is used to operate the control circuit board 800 so that the control circuit board 800 controls the opening and closing of the water inlet valve 141 and the water outlet valve 161.

[0146] refer to Figure 2 , Fig.16 and Fig.17In some examples, the endoscope 10 may further include a detection component 900, which is disposed in the accommodating cavity and is used to obtain the rotation direction and rotation angle of the insertion portion 200. In this case, the rotation information (rotation direction and rotation angle) of the insertion portion can be detected, so that the direction and angle of the image can be corrected based on the detection information for easy inspection by the operator.

[0147] In some examples, the detection assembly 900 may include a rotation angle sensor 910, which may be sleeved outside the insertion portion 200 and circumferentially fixed to the insertion portion 200. Exemplarily, the rotation angle sensor 910 is connected and fixed to the first end cap 430 so that the rotation angle sensor 910 can be circumferentially fixed to the insertion portion 200. In this case, the rotation angle sensor 910 can rotate with the insertion portion 200, thereby obtaining rotation information of the insertion portion 200.

[0148] refer to Fig.16 and Fig.17 In some examples, the detection assembly 900 may include a rotation angle sensor 910 and a transmission mechanism. The rotation angle sensor 910 is connected and fixed to the handle 100. The transmission mechanism is arranged between the insertion portion 200 and the rotation angle sensor 910, and the transmission mechanism is used to transmit the rotation information of the insertion portion 200 to the rotation angle sensor 910, so that the rotation angle sensor 910 obtains the rotation direction and rotation angle of the insertion portion 200. In this case, the detection of the rotation direction and rotation angle of the insertion portion 200 can be achieved.

[0149] In some examples, the transmission mechanism can be driven by gear transmission. Compared with other transmission methods, gear transmission has high precision, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of detection.

[0151] In some examples, the transmission ratio of the first transmission gear 920 and the second transmission gear 930 may be 2: 1. It is understandable that the transmission ratio of the first transmission gear 920 and the second transmission gear 930 may also be other values, which will not be described in detail in the embodiment of the present application.

[0152] refer to Fig.16 and Fig.17 In some examples, the first transmission gear 920 and the second transmission gear 930 can both be bevel gears. Compared with ordinary gears, bevel gears have low noise, stable operation, and low installation space requirements, which is conducive to reducing the structural size.

[0153] In some examples, the first transmission gear 920 can be circumferentially fixed to the insertion portion 200 and located between the core tube 410 and the limiting structure 102 provided on the handle 100. In this case, the first transmission gear 920 can be fixed by limiting the position to prevent the first transmission gear 920 from axially moving relative to the insertion portion 200. Compared with the method of fixing the first transmission gear 920 with a connecting member or a connecting structure, this arrangement is simple and convenient to install, which is conducive to improving assembly efficiency.

[0154] In some examples, the first transmission gear 920 may be circumferentially fixed to the insert portion 200 by the first end cap 420 or the core tube 410. Figure 8 and Fig.16 As shown, the first transmission gear 920 is provided with a fifth limiting portion 921, and the fifth limiting portion 921 cooperates with the sixth limiting portion 422 provided on the first end cover 420. Among them, one of the fifth limiting portion 921 and the sixth limiting portion 422 is a groove, and the other is a protrusion. In this case, the circumferential fixation of the first transmission gear 920 and the insertion portion 200 can be achieved, so that the first transmission gear 920 can transmit the rotation information of the core tube 410 and the insertion portion 200 to the rotation angle sensor 910.

[0155] refer to Fig.16 and Fig.18 In some examples, the first transmission gear 920 may have a mounting hole 922, and the mounting hole 922 is used to sleeve the first transmission gear 920 on the insertion portion 200, and the aperture of the mounting hole 922 gradually increases from the first end of the insertion portion 200 to the second end of the insertion portion 200. In other words, there may be a gap between the first transmission gear 920 and the insertion portion 200, and the gap gradually increases from the first end of the insertion portion 200 to the second end of the insertion portion 200, and may be horn-shaped. In a specific implementation, the aperture of the mounting hole 922 may only change at one end of the first transmission gear 920 away from the core tube 410. In this case, the gap between the first transmission gear 920 and the insertion portion 200 can be used to disperse the root stress of the insertion portion 200 when it is bent under force, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation and damage of the outer tube 220.

[0156] refer to Figure 2 and Fig.17In some examples, a front sealing ring 1000 may be provided between the insertion portion 200 and the handle 100. In a specific implementation, the front sealing ring 1000 can achieve a seal between the handle 100 and the insertion portion 200 to prevent contaminated liquid from entering the interior of the handle 100. In addition, the front sealing ring 1000 can also play a supporting role for the insertion portion 200, and can cooperate with the first transmission gear 920 to disperse the root stress of the outer tube 220 when it is bent under force. It should be noted that in some embodiments, it is necessary to rotate the insertion portion 200 with the axis of the inner tube 210 as the rotation center to avoid interference between the insertion portion 200 and the surgical instrument during the rotation process. Therefore, the hole of the front sealing ring 1000 can be eccentrically set to meet the rotation requirements of the insertion portion 200.

[0157] refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the handle 100 may include a main body 110 , the main body 110 includes a first shell 111 and a second shell 112 , and the first shell 111 and the second shell 112 enclose a receiving cavity.

[0158] In some examples, the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 may be connected in a snap-fit ​​manner, which facilitates assembly and disassembly of the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 and improves assembly efficiency.

[0159] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some examples, the handle 100 further includes a first end sleeve 120, which is mounted at the front end of the main body 110. The first end sleeve 120 is adapted to fasten the first shell 111 and the second shell 112 when mounted on the main body 110. For example, the first end sleeve 120 may be sleeved at the front end of the main body 110 and partially wrap the first shell 111 and the second shell 112. In this case, the main body 110 may be reinforced by the first end sleeve 120, thereby facilitating improving the structural strength of the handle 100.

[0160] In some examples, the first end sleeve 120 is connected to the main body 110 by snap-fitting. In this case, it is easy to disassemble and assemble the first end sleeve 120, which is conducive to improving assembly efficiency. In addition, in this configuration, the second end sleeve 130 can also be used to reinforce the main body 110, which is conducive to improving the structural strength of the handle 100.

[0161] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In some examples, the handle 100 further includes a second end sleeve 130, which is mounted at the bottom of the main body 110. The second end sleeve 130 is adapted to fasten the first shell 111 and the second shell 112 when mounted on the main body 110. For example, a cavity opening communicating with the accommodating cavity is provided at the bottom of the gripping area 101, and the second end sleeve 130 can be mounted at the cavity opening and connected to the first shell 111 and the second shell 112, respectively.

[0162] In some examples, the second end sleeve 130 is connected to the main body 110 by snap-fitting. In this case, it is easy to disassemble and assemble the first end sleeve 120, which is conducive to improving assembly efficiency. In addition, in this configuration, the second end sleeve 130 can also be used to reinforce the main body 110, thereby facilitating improving the structural strength of the handle 100.
