Abstract

The utility model relates to the technical field of endoscopes, and discloses a steering structure of an endoscope, which comprises a pull wire fixing seat, snake bones and an endoscope seat, an insertion tube is arranged at the top of the endoscope seat, a plurality of snake bones are stacked to form a snake skeleton, the bottom ends of the snake bones are fixedly connected with the top end of the pull wire fixing seat, and the top end of the endoscope seat is fixedly connected with the snake bones. A protection mechanism is arranged outside the snake bones, a connecting base is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the endoscope base and used for connecting the endoscope base and the soft corrugated sleeve, then the soft corrugated sleeve covers the snake skeleton formed by stacking the snake bones, the snake skeleton is protected, external sundries are prevented from being clamped in gaps between the snake bones, and the endoscope base is protected. The flexible corrugated sleeve made of flexible materials can be bent together with the snake skeleton, the top end and the bottom end of the flexible corrugated sleeve are fixed through the connecting structure, the end of the flexible corrugated sleeve can be detached when necessary, and the snake skeleton can be overhauled.
