[0070] In view of the technical problem that the inspection device in the related art is large in size, which leads to the large size of the endoscopic inspection equipment and is inconvenient to carry, the inventors have found that the reason is that the inspection device usually includes a shell, a mainboard, an image acquisition system and a key assembly located in the shell, and the image acquisition system usually relies on the change of the optical lens structure to achieve optical magnification, that is, to magnify or reduce the image to be taken by moving the lens. In this way, it is necessary to reserve space for the lens to move, and to increase the drive and power device of the lens, resulting in a large structural size of the image acquisition system, which is not conducive to the design of portable products.

[0071] In view of this, the image acquisition system of the embodiment of the present application can acquire images with different magnification effects by setting up multiple cameras with different magnifications. Compared with enlarging or reducing the image to be captured by moving the lens, the structural size of the image acquisition system can be effectively reduced, which is conducive to realizing a portable design.

[0072] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0073] The embodiment of the present application provides an endoscopic examination device, which includes an examination device 10. The endoscopic examination device can be used to examine and / or treat a preset position.

[0074] The preset position may be an open human cavity such as the oral cavity, or an exposed human surface such as the skin. For example, when inspecting and / or treating the oral cavity, the inspection device 10 may be inserted into the open oral cavity, and the inspection device 10 may acquire and process images in the oral cavity, thereby inspecting and / or treating the oral cavity. When inspecting the skin, the inspection device 10 may be placed opposite to the skin, thereby inspecting and / or treating the skin.

[0075] The preset position may also be a human cavity with a closed opening, such as a vagina. For example, when inspecting and / or treating the vagina, the vagina may be enlarged with a dilator, and then the inspection device 10 may be inserted into the opened vagina. The inspection device 10 may acquire and process images in the vagina, thereby inspecting and / or treating the vagina.

[0076] In some embodiments, the endoscopic inspection device may also include a dilator 30, and the inspection device 10 may be installed in the dilator 30. For example, the inspection device 10 may be inserted into the dilator 30, or may be screwed into the dilator 30.

[0077] The dilator 30 refers to a device that can be inserted into a human cavity with a closed opening, such as a vagina, to expand the space of the human cavity, thereby facilitating the inspection of the human cavity. Exemplarily, the dilator 30 may include an operating handle 700, a lower leaf 710, and an upper leaf 720. The operating handle 700 has a receiving cavity with an open bottom, and the top of the operating handle 700 also has a visual window. The lower leaf 710 is located below the visual window and is connected to the operating handle 700. The upper leaf 720 is located above the visual window and is rotatably connected to the operating handle 700. The upper leaf 720 can rotate relative to the operating handle 700 to open or close with the lower leaf 710. When the upper leaf 720 and the lower leaf 710 are opened, the visual window is exposed. When the upper leaf 720 and the lower leaf 710 are closed, the visual window is blocked. The inspection device 10 can be installed in the receiving cavity via the bottom end of the operating handle 700. For example, the inspection device 10 can be inserted into the accommodating cavity, or can be screwed into the accommodating cavity.

[0078] When inspecting a preset position, such as a human body cavity such as the vagina, the upper leaf 720 can be controlled to rotate relative to the operating handle 700, so as to close with the lower leaf 710. The closed upper leaf 720 and the lower leaf 710 are inserted into the preset position, and then the upper leaf 720 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the operating handle 700, so as to open with the lower leaf 710 to expose the visual window and expand the space of the preset position. The inspection device 10 can obtain an image of the preset position through the exposed visual window, so as to inspect the preset position.

[0102] In some embodiments, the image acquisition system 400 may include a functional circuit board 410, a light source assembly 420, and an image acquisition assembly 430. The light source assembly 420 is electrically connected to the functional circuit board 410, and the light source assembly 420 is configured to emit light to the outside (preset position) of the housing 100 through the light transmission window 121. The image acquisition assembly 430 is electrically connected to the functional circuit board 410, and the image acquisition assembly 430 is configured to acquire an image of the outside (such as the preset position) of the housing 100 through the light transmission window 121.

[0103] When inspecting the preset position, the functional circuit board 410 controls the light source assembly 420 to emit light to the outside of the housing 100 through the light transmission window 121 to illuminate the preset position. The functional circuit board 410 controls the image acquisition assembly 430 to acquire an image of the preset position outside the housing 100 through the light transmission window 121, thereby inspecting the preset position.

[0104] In some embodiments, the light source assembly 420 may include a light source circuit board 421 and at least one light emitting device 422. The light source circuit board 421 is electrically connected to the functional circuit board 410. The light source circuit board 421 may be a flexible printed circuit (FPC), which may be directly soldered to the functional circuit board 410. At least one light emitting device 422 is connected to the light source circuit board 421, and may emit light under the action of the light source circuit board 421. Exemplarily, there may be multiple light emitting devices 422, and the spectra of light emitted by the multiple light emitting devices 422 may be the same or different, which will not be described in detail in the embodiments of the present application.

[0105] In some embodiments, the image acquisition component 430 may have a first light incident surface 4311, and the light source circuit board 421 surrounds at least a portion of the first light incident surface 4311 to prevent the light source circuit board 421 from blocking the light entering the image acquisition component 430. In addition, since the light source circuit board 421 surrounds at least a portion of the first light incident surface 4311, the plurality of light emitting devices 422 may be arranged along the circumference of the first light incident surface 4311 to illuminate a preset position in the circumference of the first light incident surface 4311, thereby improving the uniformity of illumination.

[0106] In some embodiments, the image acquisition component 430 includes a plurality of beam splitters 431 and a plurality of cameras 432. The plurality of beam splitters 431 are arranged in stages, and the plurality of beam splitters 431 are used to split the light beam (the light reflected at the preset position) in stages to form a plurality of light paths. The plurality of cameras 432 are respectively located on the plurality of light paths, and each camera 432 is used to acquire the image of the preset position through the corresponding light path, and the magnification of the plurality of cameras 432 is different. Exemplarily, the beam splitters 431 are arranged in a line, and each beam splitter prism 431 can split the light beam entering therein into two light beams and then output them, one of the two light beams is used as a light path, and the other is used as a light path (when the beam splitter prism is in the last stage) or enters the next beam splitter prism 431. When the plurality of cameras 432 are respectively arranged on each light path, the image of the preset position can be acquired by any camera 432. Since the magnifications of the plurality of cameras 432 are different, during the inspection process, the corresponding camera 432 can be selected to acquire the image according to the requirements for the image size. Compared with the method of enlarging or reducing the image to be captured by moving the lens, this design can effectively reduce the structural size of the image acquisition system, which is conducive to realizing a portable design.

[0107] In some embodiments, the zoom multiples of the lenses of the multiple cameras 432 are different. In this way, each camera 432 can have a different magnification, so that it can be used to obtain images with different magnification effects. In addition, in a specific implementation, the image acquisition system can also use a distance sensor to measure the distance information from the system to a preset position, so that the system control end can switch the camera according to the distance information, thereby realizing automatic focus of the camera.

[0108] In some embodiments, the sensitivity of the image sensors of the multiple cameras 432 can be increased step by step. This arrangement can improve the problem that the camera 432 cannot focus due to the low brightness of the light beam. Specifically, since the light beam needs to pass through multiple dichroic prisms 431, the brightness of the light beam will gradually decrease during the transmission process, which may cause some cameras 432 to be unable to focus, thereby causing the image obtained by these cameras 432 to be blurred and unable to meet the inspection requirements. In the case where the sensitivity of the image sensors of the multiple cameras 432 can be increased step by step, the photosensitivity of the multiple cameras 432 is increased step by step, so that the camera 432 can focus even when the brightness of the light beam is low, thereby improving the problem that the camera 432 cannot focus due to the low brightness of the light beam.

[0109] In some embodiments, the splitting ratio of the output light of the multiple beam splitting prisms 431 can be increased / decreased step by step so that the luminous flux of the multiple light paths remains basically the same. Exemplarily, the output light of each beam splitting prism 431 includes a first light beam and a second light beam, wherein the first light beam is used to form a light path, and the second light beam is used to form a light path or to be split by the next-stage beam splitting prism 431. When the ratio of the luminous flux of the first light beam and the second light beam is used as the splitting ratio of the beam splitting prism 431, the splitting ratio of the output light of the beam splitting prism 431 increases step by step, so that the luminous flux originally belonging to the previous stage light path is distributed to at least part of the subsequent stage light path (located on the light path of the output light of the previous stage light path), thereby improving the problem that the camera 431 cannot focus due to low light beam brightness.

[0110] In some embodiments, the brightness of the light emitting device 422 is adjustable. For example, the light source circuit board 421 is configured to be able to adjust the brightness of the light emitting device 422. When different cameras 432 are used to acquire images, the brightness of the light emitting device 422 can be adjusted by the light source circuit board 421, thereby avoiding the problem that the camera 432 cannot focus due to low light beam brightness.

[0111] In some embodiments, the light emitting device 422 may be provided with a condenser. Exemplarily, the light source assembly 420 may further include a condenser, which is disposed outside the light emitting device 422. In this way, a condensing effect can be achieved, so that the brightness of the preset position is increased, and accordingly, the brightness of the light beam from the preset position is also increased as a whole, thereby improving the problem that the camera 432 cannot focus due to low light beam brightness.

[0112] In some embodiments, the image acquisition component 430 may further include a plurality of steering prisms 433, and the plurality of steering prisms 431 are respectively located on a plurality of optical paths and respectively located between the corresponding beam splitter prisms 431 and the camera 432. The steering prism 433 can change the direction of the optical path and fold the optical path to shorten the distance between the beam splitter prism 431 and the camera 432, thereby reducing the space occupied by the image acquisition component 430, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the inspection device 10.

[0113] In some embodiments, the steering angle α of the steering prism 434 may be 25° to 30°, for example, the steering angle α may be 25°, 26°, 27°, 28°, 29° or 30°. The steering angle α refers to the angle between the light incident on the steering prism 434 and the light emitted from the steering prism 434. It can be understood that the steering prism 434 may also be a steering prism of other forms, and the steering angles of other forms of steering prisms may also be other values, which will not be described in detail in the embodiments of the present application.

The mounting frame 440 may be provided with a second positioning portion 445 on one side of the first end of the housing 100, and the second positioning portion 445 is provided with a second positioning surface 4451 facing the housing 100, and the second positioning surface 4451 is in contact with the first positioning surface 1131, so as to position the mounting frame 440 and the housing 100, thereby improving the relative position accuracy between the mounting frame 440 and the housing 100.

[0118] In some embodiments, the first positioning surface 1131 and the second positioning surface 4451 may both be stepped surfaces, and the matching stepped surfaces may constrain the first positioning surface 1131 and the second positioning surface 4451 in multiple directions, further improving the relative position accuracy between the mounting frame 440 and the shell 100.

[0119] In some embodiments, the mounting frame 440 may be provided with a fourth positioning portion 4461 and a fourth connecting portion 4462 respectively corresponding to the third positioning portion 114 and the second connecting portion 115 provided on the housing 100. The fourth positioning portion 4461 cooperates with the third positioning portion 114 to achieve the positioning of the mounting frame 440. The fourth connecting portion 4462 cooperates with the second connecting portion 115 to achieve the connection between the mounting frame 440 and the housing 100. Exemplarily, the third positioning portion 114 has a third positioning surface 1141. The second connecting portion 115 is provided with a threaded hole. The mounting frame 440 may be provided with at least one connecting arm 446, and the connecting arm 446 may include a fourth positioning portion 4461 and a fourth connecting portion 4462 connected to each other.

The fourth connecting portion 4462 is provided with a connecting through hole 4464, and the connecting through hole 4464 is opposite to the threaded hole. The fourth connecting portion 4462 can be connected to the housing 100 by a connecting bolt that is penetrated through the connecting through hole 4464 and screwed into the threaded hole.

[0120] In some implementations, the functional circuit board 410 is specifically configured to control any camera 432 to acquire an image of a preset location.
