[0028] like Figure 1As shown, a hysteroscope with a sealing device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an operating portion 1, an insertion portion 2, and a handle 3. The bottom of the handle 3 is provided with two first through-holes 30 for passing a water inlet pipe 140 and a water outlet pipe 141. One end of the water inlet pipe 140 is connected to a water inlet pipe joint 51, which is connected to a water source (not shown in the figure). Furthermore, a water inlet check valve 53 is installed on the water inlet pipe 140 between the water inlet pipe joint 51 and the handle 3. One end of the water outlet pipe 141 is connected to a water outlet pipe joint 52, which is connected to a uterine cavity water collector (not shown in the figure). Furthermore, a water outlet check valve 54 is installed on the water outlet pipe 141 between the water outlet pipe joint 52 and the handle 3. During operation, the water inlet check valve 53 and the water outlet check valve 54 are not opened at the same time.
[0029] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the operating part includes an operating knob 12 and a sealing valve body 11, a water pipe plug 13 and a water pipe seat 14 arranged inside the handle 3. The operating knob 12 is penetrated to form an instrument channel entrance 120, and a first annular groove 121 is provided at the front end of the operating knob 12. Corresponding to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sealing valve body 11 is preferably a duckbill valve, which is used for one-way conduction, improves sealing performance, and prevents water seepage during operation. The sealing valve body 11 includes a tail 110 and a head 111. The head 111 is in a straight line shape. Under normal conditions, the sealing valve body 11 is sealed in the reverse direction. When no instrument is inserted, water will not flow out of the operating knob 12. When the instrument is inserted, the front end opening of the sealing valve body 11 will wrap the outer diameter of the instrument. The sealing valve body 11 is entirely wrapped around the front end of the operating handle 3; the rear end of the tail 110 protrudes outward relative to the tail 110 to form a sealing ring 112. The water pipe plug 13 is provided with a first through hole 138, the sealing valve body 11 is accommodated in the fourth through hole 138, and the sealing ring 12 abuts against the inner wall of the fourth through hole 138 to form a second sealed connection. When the sealing valve body 11 rotates in the water pipe plug 13, the sealing valve body 11 and the water pipe plug 13 remain sealed; the front end of the operating knob 12 is accommodated in the sealing valve body 11 and is sealed with the sealing body 11. Specifically, the sealing ring 112 is accommodated in the first annular groove 121; the sealing ring 112 abuts against the bottom surface of the first annular groove 121 to form a first sealed connection. When the operating knob 12 is rotated, the operating knob 12 and the inner wall of the water pipe plug 13 are sealed.
[0030] The front end of the water pipe plug 13 defines two second annular grooves 136, within which a sealing ring 130 is received. A fifth through-hole 155 is defined in the water pipe seat 14, within which the water pipe plug 13 is received. The sealing ring 130 abuts both the bottom surface of the second annular groove 136 and the inner wall of the fifth through-hole 155, forming a third sealing connection. When the water pipe plug 13 rotates within the water pipe seat 14, a seal remains between the water pipe plug 13 and the water pipe seat 14. The centerlines of the instrument channel inlet 120, the sealing valve body 11, and the water pipe plug 13 lie on a common line 4; the operating knob 12 drives the water pipe plug 13 to rotate within the water pipe seat 14. A water outlet annular groove 131 is defined between the two second annular grooves 136, for channeling intrauterine water into the water outlet pipe 141. A water outlet through-hole 137 is defined at the bottom of the water outlet annular groove 131, for allowing intrauterine water to flow out.
[0031] The water pipe seat 14 is provided with a second through-hole 144 and a third through-hole 145 for accommodating the water inlet pipe 140 and the water outlet pipe 141, respectively. The second through-hole 144 is located at the left end of the two second annular grooves 136, while the third through-hole 145 is located between the two second annular grooves 136 and aligned with the water outlet annular groove 131. The other end of the water inlet pipe 140 passes through the first through-hole 30 and is accommodated within the second through-hole 144. Waterproof adhesive (not shown) is applied between the inner wall of the second through-hole 144 and the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 140, forming a fourth sealed connection. The other end of the water outlet pipe 141 passes through the other first through-hole 30 and is accommodated within the third through-hole 145. Waterproof adhesive (not shown) is applied between the inner wall of the third through-hole 145 and the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 141, forming a fourth sealed connection.
[0032] The insertion portion 2 includes an insertion tube 20 and an instrument channel tube 21. The rear end of the insertion tube 20 is accommodated in the water pipe seat 14, and waterproof glue is provided between the outer wall of the insertion tube 20 and the inner wall of the water pipe seat 14, forming a fourth sealing connection through the waterproof glue. One end of the instrument channel tube 21 is accommodated in the insertion tube 20, and the other end is accommodated in the water pipe plug 13, and waterproof glue is provided between the outer wall of the instrument channel tube 21 and the inner wall of the water pipe plug 13, forming a fourth sealing connection through the waterproof glue. Among them, a water outlet 210 for flowing out of the uterine cavity water is opened on the instrument channel tube 21, and the water outlet 210, the water outlet ring groove 131 and the water inlet 151 of the water outlet tube 141 are aligned with each other, and are used to flow the uterine cavity water into the uterine cavity water collector.
[0033] During operation, the instrument enters from the instrument channel entrance 120, passes through the operating knob 12, and exits from the sealing valve body 11. The front opening of the sealing valve body 11 completely wraps the outer diameter of the instrument, so that the instrument channel direction is completely sealed. The instrument passes through the water pipe plug 13 and enters the instrument channel tube 21. The water inlet pipe joint at the bottom of the handle 3 is connected to the water source. Water enters the catheter from the water inlet pipe 140 and flows between the outer wall of the instrument channel tube 21 and the inner wall of the insertion tube 20, and flows out from the head opening 203 at the front end of the insertion tube 20 and enters the human uterine cavity. The inspection is completed through three different rotation limit operations. The uterine cavity water generated by the inspection flows out through the instrument channel tube 21, and flows out from the water outlet 210 of the instrument channel tube 21 into the water outlet ring groove 131 of the water pipe plug 13; the uterine cavity water finally flows out from the water outlet ring groove 131 into the water outlet pipe 141 and flows into the wastewater collector connected to the water outlet pipe joint 52.
[0034] A hysteroscope with a sealing device according to one embodiment of the present invention achieves multiple seals by forming a first sealing connection between the sealing valve body 11 and the operating knob 12, a second sealing connection between the sealing valve body 11 and the water pipe plug 13, a third sealing connection between the water pipe plug 13 and the water pipe seat 14, and a fourth sealing connection formed by waterproof glue, thereby preventing water leakage during use and improving the sealing effect of the hysteroscope with a sealing device during use. By configuring the sealing valve body 11 as a duckbill valve and configuring the rear end as a sealing ring 110 structure, liquid leakage is effectively prevented during the insertion and removal of the instrument, thereby improving the sealing effect and ensuring the stability of the pressure in the uterine cavity.
