For example, the diameter of the existing cylindrical endoscope motor and the side length of the square motor are more than 7 mm, and the size is too large, which synchronously increases the size of the endoscope and will increase the pain of patients when used. And now, due to size limitations, in order to save space, small motors mostly adopt an integrated design of a lower elastic piece and a terminal. An additional part is added to the lower elastic piece and bent into a terminal. The bending process is complex, and the elastic piece is easily broken during the process of bending the terminal.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , a cylindrical motor further includes a shrapnel fracture prevention structure, the shrapnel fracture prevention structure includes a terminal connection piece 2, the terminal connection piece 2 is arranged below the lower shrapnel 5, a plurality of shrapnel connection heads 3 are fixedly connected to the top of the terminal connection piece 2, and metal terminals 4 are respectively fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the bearing base 1;

[0031] The top of the spring connector 3 is connected to the bottom of the lower spring 5, the top of the terminal connector 2 is in contact with the bottom of the lower spring 5, and the two are not connected. One end of the terminal connector 2 is connected to the top of the metal terminal 4, and the terminal connector 2, the spring connector 3, the metal terminal 4, and the lower spring 5 are electrically connected. A lens through groove 16 is provided at the middle position of the supporting base 1. The cylindrical shell 6 has a diameter of 6.5 mm. The outer diameter of the internal threaded ring carrier 9 is consistent with the inner diameter of the coil 8. The outer diameter of the internal threaded ring carrier 9 is larger than the inner diameter of the internal thread surface 15. The split structure can reduce the probability of the spring being broken during processing, improve the product yield, and reduce the processing cost.

[0032] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cylindrical shell 6 with a diameter of 6.5 mm makes the overall size of the endoscope end smaller, which can reduce the patient's pain when in use. The metal terminal 4 and the lower spring piece 5 are independent of each other, and the connection between the two is achieved through the spring piece connector 3 on the terminal connecting piece 2. The split structure reduces the processing difficulty, can effectively improve the yield rate, and save production costs.

[0033] Embodiment 2: Top positioning blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends and the left and right sides of the top of the internally threaded annular carrier 9, and a top anti-slip plate 11 is arranged above the top positioning blocks 10. The top positioning blocks 10 are arranged at equal intervals, and the top positioning blocks 10 coincide with the vertical center line of the internally threaded annular carrier 9. The position sizes of the top positioning blocks 10 and the top anti-slip plate 11 correspond to each other one by one. The surface area of ​​the bottom end of the top anti-slip plate 11 is larger than the surface area of ​​the top end of the top positioning block 10. The outer side surface of the top anti-slip plate 11 is connected to the inner side surface of the top end of the cylindrical shell 6. The top end of the top anti-slip plate 11 is flush with the top end of the cylindrical shell 6. An upper spring plate 12 is installed on the top of the internally threaded annular carrier 9. The top end of the upper spring plate 12 is connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical shell 6, which can limit the displacement path of the carrier and prevent it from falling out.

[0034] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, during the continuous upward movement of the internally threaded ring carrier 9, the top positioning block 10 at the top of the internally threaded ring carrier 9 is blocked by the top anti-slip plate 11, limiting the amplitude of its upward displacement. This can protect the upper spring piece 12 from structural damage caused by excessive deformation, and at the same time prevent the internally threaded ring carrier 9 from falling out.

[0035] Embodiment 3: The front end on one side of the bottom of the bearing base 1 and the rear end on the other side of the bottom are respectively fixedly connected with pin connectors 13. A titanium alloy inner lining tube 14 is fixedly connected inside the pin connector 13. An internal thread surface 15 is vertically arranged inside the titanium alloy inner lining tube 14. The vertical center lines of the pin connector 13 and the titanium alloy inner lining tube 14 coincide, which can increase the strength of the screw connection position and reduce the probability of over-tightening and thread slipping.

[0036] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 shown, the titanium alloy inner lining tube 14 inside the pin connector 13 is used for driving in screws. The screws pass through the end base of the wire harness and are screwed into the titanium alloy inner lining tube 14. The external threads of the screws and the internal thread surface 15 inside the titanium alloy inner lining tube 14 are engaged with each other, and the installation can be completed. The titanium alloy inner lining tube 14 has greater strength and stronger wear resistance than the pin connector 13 made of stainless steel, and it is not easy to have the phenomenon of thread slipping.

[0037] Working principle: When the utility model is in use, first, the endoscope lens module is installed in the internally threaded annular carrier 9. The threads outside the lens module and the threads inside the internally threaded annular carrier 9 are engaged and locked. When focusing, power is supplied at the metal terminal 4, and the current passes through the metal terminal 4, terminal connecting piece 2, elastic piece connecting head 3, and lower elastic piece 5 in sequence and is transmitted to the coil 8 outside the internally threaded annular carrier 9. After the coil 8 is energized, a magnetic force is generated. Under the action of the magnetic field generated by the magnet 7, the internally threaded annular carrier 9 is driven to move upward, and the lens module synchronously moves upward. When the internally threaded annular carrier 9 moves upward, the lower elastic piece 5 is pulled upward by the tensile force and deforms, and the upper elastic piece 12 deforms synchronously under the thrust action. When the current is disconnected, the lower elastic piece 5 and the upper elastic piece 12 rebound synchronously to reset the internally threaded annular carrier 9. The cylindrical shell 6 with a diameter of 6.5 mm makes the overall size of the end of the endoscope smaller, and the pain of the patient can be reduced during use. The metal terminal 4 and the lower elastic piece 5 are independent of each other, and their connection is realized through the elastic piece connecting head 3 on the terminal connecting piece 2. The split structure reduces the processing difficulty, can effectively improve the yield rate, and saves the production cost. As the internally threaded annular carrier 9 moves upward, the upper elastic piece 12 deforms synchronously under the thrust action. During the continuous upward movement of the internally threaded annular carrier 9, the top positioning block 10 at the top of the internally threaded annular carrier 9 is blocked by the top anti-disengagement plate 11, restricting the amplitude of its upward movement, which can protect the upper elastic piece 12 from excessive deformation and causing structural damage, and at the same time can prevent the internally threaded annular carrier 9 from coming off. When installing the endoscope lens, the bearing base 1 and the end of the wire harness base are connected by screws. The titanium alloy inner liner 14 inside the pin connecting head 13 is used to drive in the screws. The screws pass through the end of the wire harness base and are screwed into the titanium alloy inner liner 14. The threads outside the screws and the internal thread surface 15 inside the titanium alloy inner liner 14 are engaged, and the installation can be completed. The titanium alloy inner liner 14 has greater strength and wear resistance than the stainless steel pin connecting head 13 and is not prone to thread slipping.

[0038] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model. Therefore, in any regard, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be encompassed by the present utility model. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claimed rights.
