Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a simplified and reliable riveting and rotating structure for medical devices. Background Art
[0002] An endoscope is a detection instrument used clinically. It can enter the stomach through the oral cavity or enter the body through other natural orifices, and uses optical and electrical signal image processing to examine lesions. For example, a doctor can observe ulcers or tumors in the stomach with the help of an endoscope, and can also place treatment instruments, such as sampling forceps, foreign body forceps, etc., through the endoscope channel. When the sampling forceps are placed into the human body, the handle of the sampling forceps can be operated to sample or treat the lesion site.
[0003] The existing endoscope sampling forceps have forceps petals and a rotating structure for connecting the sampling forceps main body and the forceps petals. The handle of the sampling forceps controls the opening and closing of the forceps petals through the internally installed steel wire. At the same time, the handle can also control the rotating structure of the forceps petals, and drive the forceps petals to rotate 360 degrees forward and backward at any angle through the rotating structure for sampling.
[0004] There are generally two types of existing rotating structures;
[0005] One is composed of three components, namely a forceps head bracket connected to the forceps petals, a bracket seat connected to the sampling forceps main body, and a connecting rotating shaft for rotatably connecting the forceps head bracket and the bracket seat. The defect of this structure is that there are many types of parts and the structure is relatively complex, resulting in a long operation time for cleaning and disinfection. In addition, the assembly time is long and laser welding is required, which also leads to a high cost;
[0006] The other is composed of two components, namely a forceps head bracket connected to the forceps petals and a bracket seat connected to the sampling forceps main body. The forceps head bracket and the bracket seat are assembled by interference fit through the protrusions and stepped openings formed on them. Burrs will be generated when the protrusion steps are assembled, which will affect the rotation performance of the product and increase the rejection rate, indirectly increasing the cost. Content of the Utility Model
[0007] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. For this reason, an object of the utility model is to provide a simplified and reliable riveting and rotating structure for medical devices.
[0008] A simplified and reliable riveting and rotating structure for medical devices according to the utility model.
[0009] In some examples of the utility model, the riveting and rotating structure includes a first component and a second component that are rotatably connected to each other. When the riveting and rotating structure is applied to a rotating sampling forceps or a rotating foreign body forceps, the first component and the second component respectively correspond to the forceps head bracket and the bracket seat;
[0010] Different from traditional technical solutions, in this riveting and rotating structure, a cylindrical step is formed by depression on the end platform of the first component, and a circular cylinder is formed by protrusion on the end platform of the second component. The circular cylinder can rotatably extend into the cylindrical step. At the same time, a stop step is formed by depression on the side wall of the cylindrical step, and a flanging is formed at one end of the circular cylinder extending into the cylindrical step. The flanging is riveted to the stop step with a gap that can rotate 360 degrees at any angle.
[0011] The advantage of such a design is that the rotating structure is simplified into two components, and the connection between the two components is riveted after being sleeved together, without the step of interference fit and without laser welding, avoiding the defects of complex structure, poor performance and high rejection rate, and having the advantages of reliable rotating performance, high assembly efficiency, stable product quality and low cost.
[0012] In some examples of the present utility model, a groove is formed by depression on the outer wall surface or inner wall surface of the circular cylinder corresponding to the flanging. The purpose of this groove is to reduce the thickness of the circular cylinder at the flanging, so as to ensure the strength of the circular cylinder itself while reducing the thickness of the flanging to assist the forming operation of the flanging.
[0013] In some examples of the present utility model, a number of stress grooves are formed by depression at the end of the circular cylinder extending into the cylindrical step. The number of stress grooves is distributed along the circumferential direction of the circular cylinder. The stress grooves can eliminate the stress brought to the circular cylinder during the forming operation of the flanging and prevent the circular cylinder from deforming.
[0014] In some examples of the present utility model, a first shoulder is formed at the connection between the cylindrical step and the end platform of the first component, and a second shoulder is formed at the connection between the circular cylinder and the end platform of the second component. The first shoulder and the second shoulder are in mutual abutment. The purpose of such a design is that the first shoulder and the second shoulder are in abutment to prevent circumferential movement between the first component and the second component.
[0015] In some examples of the present utility model, the first shoulder and the cylindrical step are connected by a first slope surface, which forms an avoidance effect on the connection between the circular cylinder and the second shoulder, reduces collision and friction, and prevents locking between the first component and the second component.
[0016] In some examples of the present utility model, the side wall of the cylindrical step and the stop step are connected by a second slope surface. The second slope surface forms an avoidance effect on the forming operation of the flanging and prevents locking between the flanging and the stop step at the same time.
[0017] In some examples of the present utility model, an installation groove is formed by depression at one end of the first component away from the cylindrical step. The installation groove extends to connect with the stop step, so that the stop step is exposed in the installation groove.
[0018] The "stopping step is exposed in the installation groove" here is interpreted as: the inner diameter of the installation groove is larger than the inner diameter of the stopping step, so that the tool can extend through the installation groove to the stopping step to perform a flanging operation on the circular cylinder.
[0019] Additional aspects and advantages of the present utility model will be given in part in the following description, become apparent in part from the following description, or be understood through the practice of the present utility model. Description of the Drawings

The second component 2 is a pliers head bracket connected to the pliers lobe of the sampling pliers. It is generally cylindrical. One end is used to connect to the first component 1, and the other end is provided with a pin hole for connecting the pliers lobe.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 , a cylindrical step 11 is formed by recessing on the end platform 11 of the first component 1. A circular cylindrical barrel 21 is formed by protruding on the end platform 21 of the second component 2. The inner cavity of the circular cylindrical barrel 21 is communicated with the inner cavity of the second component 2. The communicated inner cavity is for the steel wire to pass through, and one end of the steel wire is connected to the pliers lobe, so that the pliers lobe can be controlled by the handle at the other end of the steel wire. The circular cylindrical barrel 21 can rotatably extend into the cylindrical step 11;
[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 , a stop step 12 is formed by recessing on the side wall of the cylindrical step 11, that is, the stop step 12 is opened in the circumferential direction pointing to the cylindrical step 11. The stop step 12 surrounds the side wall of the cylindrical step 11 for one week to form an annular groove. A flanging 22 is formed at one end of the circular cylindrical barrel 21 extending into the cylindrical step 11. The flanging 22 also surrounds the circular cylindrical barrel 21 for one week to form an annular flanging 22.
