[0002] The endoscope penetrates deep into the human body through a high-definition camera system to provide medical staff with lesion observation. In practical applications, it is crucial to ensure the flexibility and stability of the endoscope in the human body. Medical staff use the bending knob of the operating part to pull the operating wire to control the bending of the bending part to meet observation and treatment needs. However, the bending part has the force to return to a straight state due to the material properties. When the medical staff releases the bending knob, the bending part will gradually return to a straight state from the bent state. In the prior art, a locking mechanism and a locking knob for the winding wheel are usually added. Medical staff lock or unlock the winding wheel by rotating the locking knob.

[0069] In this embodiment, the bending adjustment operating device can be in a locked state or an unlocked state under the action of the button member 31; in the locked state, the hook member 32 is hooked at the second stable position 3113 of the button member 31 to limit and lock the winding wheel 22 on the friction block 35, thereby corresponding to the locking operation line 23 to maintain the bending angle; in the unlocked state, the hook member 32 is hooked at the first stable position 3111 of the button member 31, and the friction block 35 is disengaged from the limit lock on the winding wheel 22, so that the bending adjustment component 2 can implement the bending adjustment.

[0070] The bending adjustment operation device provided in this embodiment is used as follows:

[0071] When the hanging portion 321 stays in the first stable position 3111, there is a certain gap between the friction block 35 and the abutting portion 221 of the winding wheel 22, and the bending knob 21 and the winding wheel 22 can be relatively unlocked; when it is necessary to lock the bending angle, the user presses the button member 31 to make the button member 31 move in the first direction, that is, move toward the inner cavity of the shell 1. At this time, the hanging portion 321 moves to the first intermediate position 3112 under the guidance of the first guide surface 3115. Then the user releases the button member 31. Under the action of the first elastic element 34, the button member 31 moves in the second direction, that is, moves away from the inner cavity of the shell 1. The hanging portion 321 moves to the second stable position 3113 under the guidance of the second guide surface 3116, and stays stably in the second stable position 3113 under the action of the first elastic element 34. The friction surface 351 of the friction block 35 abuts against the abutting portion 221 of the winding wheel 22. The connecting portion 221 is subjected to the friction force of the friction surface 351, and the bending knob 21 and the winding wheel 22 are relatively locked, thereby achieving the locking of the bending angle; when the bending angle needs to be operated, the user can press the button member 31 again, and the button member 31 moves in the first direction, that is, moves toward the inner cavity of the shell 1, and the hanging portion 321 moves to the second intermediate position 3114 under the guidance of the third guide surface 3117. Then the user releases the button member 31, and under the action of the first elastic element 34, the button member 31 moves in the second direction, that is, moves away from the inner cavity of the shell 1, and the hanging portion 321 returns to the first stable position 3111 under the guidance of the fourth guide surface 3118, and stays stably in the first stable position 3111 under the action of the first elastic element 34, and the bending knob 21 and the winding wheel 22 are restored to relative unlocking, and then the bending knob 21 is operated to drive the operating wire 23 to implement the bending.

[0072] In the above description, when the user presses the button member 31, the button member 31 moves toward the inner cavity of the shell 1, and the movement direction is set to the first direction; when the user releases the button member 31, the button member 31 moves toward the outside of the shell 1 under the elastic action of the first elastic element 34, and the movement direction is set to the second direction.

[0073] In the bending operation device provided in this embodiment, the user only needs to use the index finger to lightly press the button 31 to achieve the locking and unlocking operation of the bending knob 21. Compared with the method of using the index finger to turn the locking knob in the traditional technology, this embodiment uses the index finger to apply force, which is more ergonomic, simpler and more convenient to operate, and brings a more comfortable experience to the user.

[0074] Compared with the traditional locking knob, the bending operation device provided in this embodiment does not require a large lever arm, thereby greatly reducing the sweeping space during operation and reducing the labor intensity of the user. In addition, the bending operation device has a simple structure, making the entire endoscope operating unit more compact and lightweight.

[0075] Example 2

[0076] This embodiment provides an endoscope, including the bending operation device of embodiment 1. The operating wire 23 of the bending operation device is connected to a bending portion not shown in the figure at the far end, and the endoscope implements the working mode of bending control and locking the bending angle, which reduces the labor intensity of the user and is easy to operate.
