DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0021] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0022] The terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0023] The following will describe the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings, as Figures 1 to 2 shown: The precision wireless spinal endoscope described in this embodiment includes a mirror body 1, a working channel 2 connected to the distal end of the mirror body 1, a light source connector 3 and a handle 4 sequentially arranged from far to near at the bottom of the mirror body 1, and a Bluetooth component (not shown in the figure) capable of connecting and communicating data with a wireless terminal and a battery component (not shown in the figure) for supplying power to each electrical component arranged in the handle 4. A battery slot for installing the battery component is provided on the handle 4 to facilitate battery replacement; as Figure 3 shown, the working channel 2 includes a main housing 21, and a camera channel 22 and an optical fiber channel 23 arranged in the main housing 21. The optical fiber channel 23 is connected to the light source connector 3.

[0024] For the precision wireless spinal endoscope described in this embodiment, placing the light source connector 3 outside the mirror body 1 can freely switch the light source as needed, with a wide range of applications and improved surgical precision; at the same time, the Bluetooth component 5 located on the mirror body 1 can perform wireless data transmission, reducing the use of connecting wires and making the surgical use more concise and convenient.

[0025] As a preferred implementation manner of this embodiment, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, a water inlet valve 5 is further provided on the side of the mirror body 1, as Figure 3As shown, the working channel 2 also includes a cleaning channel 24 provided on the outside of the main shell 21 and connected to the water inlet valve 5. The length of the cleaning channel 24 is longer than that of the working channel 2, and a guide plate (not shown in the figure) is provided on the inner wall thereof at a position corresponding to the end of the working channel 2. The water flow along the cleaning channel 24 can be controlled by the water inlet valve 5. After being guided by the guide plate, the water flow is flushed to the end of the working channel 2 to avoid blurred vision caused by blood and flesh contamination. Specifically, there are two water inlet valves 5, and the two water inlet valves 5 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the mirror body 1 relative to the central axis of the mirror body 1, so that the water intake is more uniform and the cleaning effect is guaranteed.

[0026] As a preferred implementation of the above technical solution, the end of the cleaning channel 24 is also provided with a paddle 6 extending outward along the curved surface of the cleaning channel 24. The paddle 6 can be used to push the tissue protruding from the end of the working channel 2 that blocks the endoscope's field of view to one side, reducing the situation where tissue resection is performed due to field of view obstruction, and improving surgical efficiency and safety. Specifically, there are two paddles 6, both of which have outward-flared ends and are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the working channel 2. They can push tissue away from all directions so that the endoscope's field of view is aligned with the required area. The flared structure also prevents the tissue from slipping after being pushed away, further improving surgical accuracy.

[0027] As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a limiting ring groove 41 is provided in the middle of the handle 4, and the limiting ring groove 41 is an arc-shaped groove with an inward concave cross-section. When the doctor holds the handle 4, the fingers are stuck in the limiting ring groove 41, making the grip more stable and further improving the accuracy of the operation.

[0028] For ease of use, as a preferred implementation of this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a truncated cone-shaped base 42 is provided at the bottom of the handle 4. During use, the endoscope can be placed stably by the base 42 to avoid contamination between the flesh and blood tissue at the end and the contact environment.

[0029] As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the inner walls of the camera channel 22 and the optical fiber channel 23 are coated with a hardened coating (not shown in the figure), which has higher hardness and is more wear-resistant, minimizing the possibility of scratches and damage, thereby extending the service life.

[0030] Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, the handle 4 is a detachable structure and is screwed into the mounting seat on the mirror body 1 by a bolt 43 for connection and fixation.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
