Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to an elastic connecting piece and an endoscope. Background Art

[0002] An endoscope is a commonly used medical device that can directly enter the human body for examination and provide doctors with sufficient diagnostic information. An endoscope usually includes: an insertion part for inserting into the human body, a handle for controlling the bending of the front end of the insertion part, and a display device for displaying the internal environment of the human body's natural cavity; the endoscope can realize the internal observation of the human body, the exploration of lesions, and the treatment of lesions through the cooperation of the above three parts.

[0003] In the related art, the endoscope handle is connected to the proximal end of the insertion part, and the bending of the insertion part can be controlled by operating the operating member on the handle; the handle is also connected to a connecting cable, and the other end of the connecting cable is connected to a display device, so that the image information collected by the insertion part can be displayed on the display device. The traditional endoscope handle has an upper shell and a lower shell. After the upper shell and the lower shell are snapped together, they are sealed with a sealant.

[0004] However, the inventors discovered that with this structure, the connection between the handle shell and the insertion part cannot be sealed. Even if the connection between the handle shell and the insertion part is sealed with sealant, the bending of the insertion part can easily cause the sealant thereto to loosen or even fall off, thereby affecting the sealing performance of the connection between the handle shell and the insertion part. Similarly, the connection between the handle shell and the cable is also sealed with sealant, and as the cable is pulled, it is easy to affect the sealing performance of the connection between the handle shell and the cable.

[0005] Therefore, providing an endoscope with good and stable sealing performance has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

It should be understood that such used data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order different from those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of the same type, and do not limit the number of objects. For example, the first object can be one or multiple. In addition, "and / or" in the description and claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally means an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0035] In each embodiment of the present application, "proximal end" and "distal end" refer to the relative positions of each component to the user in the usage environment. Among them, the end closer to the user is designated as the "proximal end", and the end farther from the user is designated as the "distal end".

[0036] The following combines with the attachedFigures 1 to 8 , the elastic connector and endoscope provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0037] This embodiment provides an elastic connector.

[0038] The elastic connector of this embodiment is used on an endoscope and can be used as a connector between the insertion portion 20, the cable 30 and the handle 10, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown. The endoscope of this embodiment can be a disposable endoscope, a limited-use reusable endoscope, or an unlimited-use reusable endoscope. The endoscope of this embodiment can be a bronchoscope, a pyeloscope, an esophagoscope, a gastroscope, a colonoscope, an otoscope, a nasal endoscope, an oral endoscope, a laryngoscope, a vaginoscope, a laparoscope, an arthroscope, etc. The types of endoscopes in this embodiment are not specifically limited.

[0039] The elastic connector of this embodiment includes an elastic body 110, such as Figures 3 to 5 shown. The elastic body 110 is made of an elastic material, such as silica gel, rubber, etc. The elastic body 110 can be used as the installation base for the insertion portion 20 and the cable 30.

[0040] In some embodiments, the elastic body 110 is in sealing fit with the housing 11 of the handle 10 of the endoscope. Exemplarily, the elastic body 110 can be disposed at the distal end of the handle 10. The elastic body 110 can not only be used as the installation base for the insertion portion 20 and the cable 30, but also play a sealing role for the distal end of the handle 10, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown. Exemplarily, since the elastic body 110 is made of an elastic material, a sealing connection can be achieved through the interference fit between the elastic body 110 and the end of the housing 11

[0041] In some embodiments, a first channel 111 is provided on the elastic body 110, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown. The first channel 111 penetrates through the elastic body 110. The first channel 111 is used to install the insertion portion 20 of the endoscope, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 shown. After the insertion portion 20 is installed in the first channel 111, the proximal end of the insertion portion 20 can be communicated with the inner cavity of the handle 10, so that operations such as instrument operation and negative pressure suction can be performed.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first channel 111 is in sealing connection with the insertion portion 20. Exemplarily, a sealing connection between the two can be achieved through the interference fit between the first channel 111 and the insertion portion 20. Or a sealing ring can be provided between the first channel 111 and the insertion portion 20 to achieve a sealing connection between the two through the sealing ring.

[0043] In some embodiments, a second channel 112 is provided on the elastic body 110, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 . The second channel 112 penetrates through the elastic body 110 and is used for installing the cable 30 of the endoscope, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 5 . After the cable 30 is installed in the second channel 112, the proximal end of the cable 30 can be communicated with the inner cavity of the handle 10, and then the cable 30 can be connected to the chip in the inner cavity, so that the image collected by the insertion part 20 can be displayed on the display device.

[0044] In some embodiments, the second channel 112 is hermetically connected to the cable 30. Exemplarily, the hermetic connection between the two can be achieved by the interference fit between the second channel 112 and the cable 30. Alternatively, a sealing ring can be provided between the second channel 112 and the cable 30 to achieve the hermetic connection between the two.

[0045] Compared with the prior art in which the insertion part 20 and the cable 30 are directly mated with the relatively rigid housing 11, in this embodiment, the insertion part 20 and the cable 30 are installed on the elastic body 110 with elasticity. When the insertion part 20 is bent, part of the energy can be absorbed through the deformation of the elastic body 110, so as to reduce the influence of the bending of the insertion part 20 on the sealing performance at the connection between the elastic body 110 and the insertion part 20; similarly, through the elastic body 110, the influence of the pulling action of the cable 30 on the sealing performance at the connection between the elastic body 110 and the cable 30 can also be reduced. Applying the elastic connector of this embodiment to the endoscope can improve the sealing performance of the endoscope.

[0046] That is, the elastic connector of this embodiment can solve the technical problem that the sealing performance of the housing 11 of the handle 10 in the related art is easily affected by the pulling actions of the insertion part 20 and the cable 30 through the elastic body 110.

[0047] In some embodiments, a first socket part 1111 is provided at the distal end of the first channel 111, and the first socket part 1111 is communicated with the first channel 111, as shown in Figures 3 to 5 . Exemplarily, the first socket part 1111 can be formed by the distal extension of the first channel 111. Exemplarily, the first socket part 1111 can be a structure integrally provided on the elastic body 110. The first socket part 1111 and the first channel 111 are of an integrally formed structure.

[0048] In this embodiment, a first socket part 1111 is provided at the distal end of the first channel 111. When the insertion part 20 is bent, the first socket part 1111 can be bent along with the bending of the insertion part 20, and part of the energy transmitted from the distal end to the proximal end of the insertion part 20 can be absorbed through the first socket part 1111, so as to reduce the influence of the bending of the insertion part 20 on the sealing performance at the connection between the elastic body 110 and the housing 11.

[0049] In some embodiments, a second socket portion 1121 is further provided at the distal end of the second channel 112. The second socket portion 1121 communicates with the second channel 112, as Figures 3 to 5 shown. Exemplarily, the second socket portion 1121 may be formed by the second channel 112 extending distally. Exemplarily, the second socket portion 1121 may be a structure integrally provided on the elastic body 110. The second socket portion 1121 and the second channel 112 are of an integrally formed structure.

[0050] In this embodiment, a second socket portion 1121 is provided at the distal end of the second channel 112. When the cable 30 is pulled, the second socket portion 1121 can be bent along with the pulling of the cable 30. Through the second socket portion 1121, part of the energy transmitted from the distal end of the cable 30 to the proximal end can be absorbed, so as to reduce the influence of the pulling of the cable 30 on the sealing performance at the connection between the elastic body 110 and the housing 11.

[0051] In some embodiments, a first slot 1111a is further provided on the first socket portion 1111; and / or a second slot 1121a is further provided on the second socket portion 1121, as Figure 4 shown. Figure 4 The figure shows a schematic diagram in which a first slot 1111a is further provided on the first socket portion 1111 and a second slot 1121a is provided on the second socket portion 1121. Without limitation, only the first slot 1111a may be further provided on the first socket portion 1111; or only the second slot 1121a may be further provided on the second socket portion 1121.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first slot 1111a may be provided along the axial direction of the first socket portion 1111 or along the radial direction of the first socket portion 1111. The first slot 1111a may be one or more.

[0053] In some embodiments, the second slot 1121a may be provided along the axial direction of the second socket portion 1121 or along the radial direction of the second socket portion 1121. The second slot 1121a may be one or more.

[0054] In this embodiment, by providing the first slot 1111a on the first socket portion 1111, the problem that the hardness of the first socket portion 1111 is too large, resulting in the first socket portion 1111 restricting the bending of the proximal end of the insertion portion 20, can be avoided. In this embodiment, by providing the second slot 1121a on the second socket portion 1121, the problem that the hardness of the second socket portion 1121 is too large, resulting in the restricted bending of the proximal end of the cable 30 and the easy breakage of the proximal end of the cable 30, can be avoided.

[0055] In some embodiments, a clamping portion 113 is further provided on the elastic body 110, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown. The clamping portion 113 is arranged along the axial direction of the elastic body 110, and the clamping portion 113 is clamped with the housing 11, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown. Correspondingly, a notch 11-5 is provided on the housing 11, as Figure 8 shown. The notch 11-5 is used to accommodate the clamping portion 113, as Figure 2 shown. Through the arrangement of the clamping portion 113, the elastic body 110 and the housing 11 are not only connected in the circumferential direction, but also connected in the axial direction. Moreover, when the elastic body 110 is installed, the clamping portion 113 can also play a guiding role.

[0056] In some embodiments, a protruding portion 1131 is further provided on the clamping portion 113, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown. The protruding portion 1131 protrudes from the surface of the elastic body 110, and at least part of the first channel 111 and / or the second channel 112 is located at the protruding portion 1131. Exemplarily, in the direction from the proximal end to the distal end, the height of the protruding portion 1131 protruding from the surface of the elastic body 110 gradually increases, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown. Exemplarily, the clamping portion 113 is provided on one side of the elastic body 110 having the first channel 111, and at this time, at least part of the first channel 111 is located at the protruding portion 1131; and / or the clamping portion 113 is provided on one side of the elastic body 110 having the second channel 112, and at this time, at least part of the second channel 112 is located at the protruding portion 1131.

[0057] At least part of the first channel 111 and / or the second channel 112 of this embodiment is located at the protruding portion 1131, which can further reduce the influence of the bending of the insertion portion 20 and / or the pulling effect of the cable 30 on the sealing performance of the connection between the elastic body 110 and the housing 11.

[0058] In some embodiments, a first clamping groove 114 and a second clamping groove 115 are further provided on the elastic body 110, as Figure 4 shown. The housing 11 includes a first housing 11-1 and a second housing 11-2, as Figure 2 shown. A first clamping block 11-3 is provided on the first housing 11-1, and a second clamping block 11-4 is provided on the second housing 11-2, as Figures 6 to 8 shown. The first clamping groove 114 is clamped with the first clamping block 11-3, and the second clamping groove 115 is clamped with the second clamping block 11-4. By clamping the first clamping groove 114 with the first clamping block 11-3 and the second clamping groove 115 with the second clamping block 11-4, the connection between the two can be realized through the structures on the elastic body 110 and the housing 11 itself, and the stability of the connection between the elastic body 110 and the housing 11 can also be enhanced.

[0059] In some embodiments, in the radial direction of the housing 11, the first card slot 114 and / or the second card slot 115 are inclined. As Figure 4 shown, in the radial direction of the housing 11, both the first card slot 114 and the second card slot 115 are inclined. Referring again to Figure 4 , in the direction from the proximal end face to the distal end face of the elastic body 110, and in the installation direction of the second housing 11-2 (which can also be said to be the direction from the upper side to the lower side of the elastic body 110), the first card slot 114 and the second card slot 115 are inclined downward.

[0060] The first card slot 114 and the second card slot 115 of this embodiment are inclined, which is beneficial to the clamping connection between the first card slot 114 and the first card block 11-3 when the elastic body 110 is assembled on the first housing 11-1, and is also beneficial to the clamping connection between the second card slot 115 and the second card block 11-4 when the second housing 11-2 is assembled on the elastic body 110. On the other hand, the first card slot 114 and the second card slot 115 of this embodiment are inclined, which can further enhance the stability of the connection between the elastic body 110 and the housing 11.

[0061] In some embodiments, a first sealant layer is further provided in the first card slot 114, and the first card slot 114 and the first card block 11-3 are fixedly connected through the first sealant layer, so as to further enhance the stability of the connection between the elastic body 110 and the first housing 11-1.

[0062] In some embodiments, a second sealant layer is provided in the second card slot 115, and the second card slot 115 and the second card block 11-4 are fixedly connected through the second sealant layer, so as to further enhance the stability of the connection between the elastic body 110 and the second housing 11-2.

[0063] In some embodiments, an abutting surface 116 is further provided on the elastic body 110, as Figure 3 shown. When the elastic body 110 is clamped with the housing 11, the distal end face of the housing 11 abuts against the abutting surface 116, as Figure 2 shown. Through the arrangement of the abutting surface 116, during the assembly of the elastic body 110, it can play a positioning role, and the sealing performance between the housing 11 and the elastic body 110 can also be enhanced through the abutment between the housing 11 and the abutting surface 116.

[0064] In some embodiments, a notch 117 is further provided on the elastic body 110, as Figure 3As shown. The number of the notches 117 is one or more. In this embodiment, through the arrangement of the notches 117, when processing and producing the elastic body 110, the material usage can be reduced and the production cost can be lowered. On the other hand, through the arrangement of the notches 117, the elasticity of the elastic body 110 can be increased, so that the elastic body 110 has a greater deformation ability, which can further reduce the influence of the bending of the insertion part 20 on the sealing performance at the connection between the elastic body 110 and the insertion part 20, and can also further reduce the influence of the pulling effect of the cable 30 on the sealing performance at the connection between the elastic body 110 and the cable 30.

[0065] This embodiment also provides an endoscope.

[0066] The endoscope of this embodiment includes a handle 10, an insertion part 20 and a cable 30. The insertion part 20 and the cable 30 are both connected to the handle 10, as Figure 1 shown. The endoscope further includes an elastic connector of any one of the technical solutions in this embodiment. The elastic connector is arranged at the distal end of the handle 10, as Figure 1 shown.

[0067] For the endoscope of this embodiment, through the elastic connector, the influence of the bending of the insertion part 20 on the sealing performance at the connection between the elastic body 110 and the insertion part 20 can be reduced, and the influence of the pulling effect of the cable 30 on the sealing performance at the connection between the elastic body 110 and the cable 30 can also be reduced.

[0068] It should be noted that in this article, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "including one..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including that element. In addition, it should be pointed out that the scope of the methods and devices in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to performing functions in the order shown or discussed, and may also include performing functions in a substantially simultaneous manner or in a reverse order according to the functions involved. For example, the described methods may be performed in an order different from that described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined. Additionally, the features described with reference to certain examples may be combined in other examples.

[0069] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
