[0024] Example

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides a disposable endoscope with a detachable CMOS module, including a protective mechanism 200 and a CMOS module installed inside the protective mechanism 200.

[0026] Specifically, the protection mechanism 200 includes a protection shell 201 movably installed at the outer bottom end of the CMOS module 100, a sealing cover 202 is movably installed on the top of the protection shell 201, and latches 203 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the bottom end of the sealing cover 202. The middle of the two latches 203 are provided with card slots 203a, and the left and right sides of the top of the protection shell 201 are symmetrically provided with slots 201a adapted to the two latches 203, and the insides of the two slots 201a are movably installed with card pins 204 adapted to the two card slots 203a, and the outer sides of the two card pins 204 are fixedly connected with movable rings 205, and the front and rear ends between the two movable rings 205 are provided with extrusion components 206.

[0027] In the above protection mechanism 200, after the sealing cover 202 is connected to the protection shell 201, the interiors of the two can form a closed installation space S, and the CMOS module 100 is installed in the installation space S, and the two latches 203 at the bottom of the sealing cover 202 are respectively inserted into the two slots 201a, and the two latches 204 are respectively inserted into the two slots 203a, and the two latches 204 can limit and fix the latches 203 in the slots 201a, so that the sealing cover 202 covers the protection shell. 201 is more stable after being installed, avoiding falling off and affecting the normal use of the disposable endoscope. The pressing assembly 206 arranged in the protective mechanism 200 is an important component for adjusting the horizontal movement of the movable ring 205. When the movable ring 205 moves horizontally, it can drive the latch 204 to move horizontally, thereby realizing the function of controlling the latch 204 to move out of the slot 203a, thereby releasing the limit fixation of the plug block 203, and the staff can remove the sealing cover 202, and then take out the internal CMOS module 100.

[0028] Furthermore, a moving groove 201b is symmetrically provided inside the protective shell 201 and outside the two slots 201a, and two moving rings 205 are respectively slidably connected in the two moving grooves 201b, and telescopic grooves 201c are symmetrically provided at the front and rear ends inside the protective shell 201, and the left and right sides of the two telescopic grooves 201c are respectively connected to the two moving grooves 201b, wherein a part of the extrusion assembly 206 is arranged in the telescopic groove 201c, and the moving groove 201b provided provides space for the horizontal movement of the moving ring 205, and combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that springs are also arranged on the outside of the two movable rings 205, so that when the movable ring 205 is squeezed to move toward the outside of the movable groove 201b, the spring will be compressed by the movable ring 205. When the squeezing force on the movable ring 205 disappears, the rebound force of the spring can bounce the movable ring 205 back to its initial position.

[0029] Furthermore, the two groups of extrusion components 206 respectively include buttons 206a arranged at the front and rear ends of the outside of the protective shell 201, and the inner sides of the two buttons 206a are fixedly connected with pressing rods 206b, and the other ends of the two pressing rods 206b penetrate the outer wall of the protective shell 201 and extend to the two telescopic grooves 201c, where extrusion cones 206c are fixedly connected, and the other ends of the two extrusion cones 206c are fixedly connected with telescopic springs 206d, and the other ends of the two telescopic springs 206d are respectively connected to the inner walls of the two telescopic grooves 201c. When the staff presses the button 206a, the button 206a can pass through The pressing rod 206b drives the extrusion cone 206c to move into the telescopic groove 201c, and the inner side of the extrusion cone 206c can squeeze the telescopic spring 206d. In the process of the extrusion cone 206c moving into the telescopic groove 201c, the movable rings 205 on both sides can move toward the outside of the movable groove 201b (because the two sides of the extrusion cone 206c are set as inclined surfaces, it can ensure that the movable ring 205 is squeezed outward along the inclined surfaces). The two movable rings 205 can respectively drive the two pins 204 to move into the movable groove 201b, thereby realizing the function of the pins 204 to release the limit fixation of the plug block 203.

[0030] Preferably, a through slot 202a is provided at the center of the top of the sealing cover 202, and a transparent window 207 is fixedly installed in the through slot 202a. The through slot 202a and the transparent window 207 ensure that the camera function at the top of the CMOS module 100 can be used normally.

[0031] To sum up, when the CMOS module 100 needs to be removed from the device, the staff only needs to press the buttons 206a on the front and rear sides of the protective shell 201. The two buttons 206a can drive the two extrusion cones 206c to move into the telescopic slot 201c through the pressing rod 206b. Under the joint action of the two extrusion cones 206c, the moving rings 205 on both sides can be driven to move to the outside of the moving slot 201b. The two moving rings 205 can drive the two latches 204 to move into the telescopic slot 201b. When the two latches 204 are completely moved out of the two latch slots 203a, the limiting fixation of the plug block 203 can be released. At this time, the staff can remove the sealing cover 202 from the top of the protective shell 201, and then without the obstruction of the sealing cover 202, the CMOS module can be taken out. When installing the CMOS module 100, it is only necessary to repeat the above actions and operate in reverse.

[0032] Importantly, it should be noted that the construction and arrangement of the present application shown in a plurality of different exemplary embodiments are only exemplary. Although only a few embodiments are described in detail in this disclosure, it should be readily understood by those who refer to this disclosure that many modifications are possible (e.g., the size, scale, structure, shape and ratio of various elements, and parameter values ​​(e.g., temperature, pressure, etc.), installation arrangements, use of materials, color, directional changes, etc.) without substantially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of the subject matter described in the application. For example, the element shown as integrally formed can be composed of multiple parts or elements, the position of the element can be inverted or otherwise changed, and the nature or number or position of the discrete element can be changed or changed. Therefore, all such modifications are intended to be included in the scope of the present utility model. The order or sequence of any process or method steps can be changed or reordered according to alternative embodiments. In the claims, any "device plus function" clause is intended to cover the structure of performing the function described herein, and is not only structurally equivalent but also equivalent structure. Without departing from the scope of the present invention, other substitutions, modifications, changes and omissions may be made in the design, operating conditions and arrangement of the exemplary embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to a specific embodiment, but extends to various modifications that still fall within the scope of the appended claims.

[0033] It will be appreciated that in the development of any actual implementation, as in any engineering or design project, numerous implementation-specific decisions may be made. Such a development effort may be complex and time-consuming, but will be a routine task of design, fabrication, and production for those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure without undue experimentation.
