[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] The utility model provides a main and standby complementary endoscope, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device comprises a main unit 1, a base 2 being provided at the bottom of the main unit 1, a power supply 3 being installed on the top of the base 2, one end of the power supply 3 being connected to the charging port of the main unit 1 via a power cord 31, a display screen 11 being installed at the top of the main unit 1, a connection terminal 12 being installed at the back of the main unit 1, an extension cord 13 being connected to the outer end of the connection terminal 12, a detection terminal 14 being installed at the outer end of the extension cord 13, the detection terminal 14 comprising a housing 141, a connection head 142 being installed in the middle of the housing 141, a forward-facing camera 143 and two side-facing cameras 144 being installed on the front of the connection head 142. The device is integrated and portable through the carefully designed combination of the main unit 1 and the base 2, as well as the integrated configuration of the power supply 3. The power cord 31 is directly connected to the power supply 3 and the charging port of the main unit 1, ensuring the stability and convenience of the energy supply. The display screen 11 at the top of the main unit 1 provides the operator with real-time, intuitive image feedback, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0027] In particular, the connection design between the terminal 12 mounted on the back of the main unit 1 and the extension cable 13 allows the detection terminal 14 to be flexibly extended to the target area, greatly expanding the scope of use of the endoscope. Inside the housing 141 of the detection terminal 14, the front-facing camera 143 and two side-facing cameras 144 located on the front of the connection head 142 not only achieve clear front-facing images of the target area, but also capture detailed information from the side, providing a more comprehensive and multi-angle observation perspective.

[0028] In this embodiment, a bracket 21 is mounted on the top of one end of the base 2. A curved groove 211 is provided on the top of the bracket 21. A gasket 212 is installed on the inner wall of the groove 211. One end of the main unit 1 is clipped into the groove 211. This design allows the main unit 1 to be securely placed on the bracket 21 and allows for flexible adjustment at multiple angles through the curved groove 211, thereby improving the stability and ease of operation of the endoscope assembly. Furthermore, this clip-on connection facilitates quick installation and removal of the main unit 1, improving work efficiency.

[0029] Specifically, a forward-facing camera channel 146 is provided in the center of the housing 141, and the forward-facing camera 143 is located within the channel. This design ensures that the forward-facing camera 143 can directly and clearly capture a forward-facing image of the target area, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the image capture. The design of the forward-facing camera channel 146 also protects the camera from interference or damage from the external environment.

[0030] Furthermore, side-viewing channels 145 are provided on both sides of the housing 141. A side-viewing camera 144 is located at one end of the side-viewing channel 145. An obliquely-positioned reflector 147 is installed at the other end of the side-viewing channel 145. The angle between the reflector 147 and the shooting direction of the side-viewing camera 144 is 45 degrees. This innovative design enables the side-viewing camera 144 to capture side-viewing images through the reflector 147. Furthermore, the oblique orientation of the reflector allows for a wider shooting angle, thereby increasing the shooting flexibility and coverage of the endoscope assembly.

[0031] Furthermore, several LED lamps 148 are mounted on the outer end of the housing 141. This design provides a stable and uniform illumination source, ensuring sufficient brightness in the inspection area and improving image clarity and color reproduction. The energy-saving and long-life characteristics of the LED lamps also reduce the cost and maintenance frequency of the endoscope components.

[0032] Furthermore, the back of the connector 142 is electrically connected to the extension cable 13. This design ensures stable and reliable signal transmission between the detection terminal 14 and the host 1, avoids image distortion or data loss caused by poor connection, and improves the working stability and reliability of the endoscope assembly.

[0033] Furthermore, a tilting block is installed on one side of the base 2 near the bottom of the main unit 1 to tilt the main unit 1. This design allows the main unit 1 to remain stable in a tilted state, making it easier for the operator to adjust the viewing angle according to actual needs, thereby improving the applicability and flexibility of the endoscope assembly.

[0034] Furthermore, the LED lamp beads 148 are arranged in a circular pattern with equal spacing. This design allows the illumination to cover the inspection area more evenly and without blind spots, avoiding image shadows or distortion caused by uneven illumination, and improving image clarity and accuracy. Furthermore, the circular arrangement of the LED lamp beads enhances the aesthetics and practicality of the endoscope assembly.

[0035] The present invention also provides a main-standby complementary endoscope power supply assembly for a main-standby complementary endoscope, comprising a power supply 3, which is installed on the top of the base 2, and one end of the power supply 3 is connected to the charging port of the host 1 through a power cord 31.

[0036] When using the main and standby complementary endoscope power supply assembly and endoscope of the present invention, the power supply 3 is first connected to the charging port of the host 1 via the power cord 31 to ensure a stable energy supply for the endoscope assembly. The host 1 serves as the control center of the entire system and is responsible for receiving, processing, and displaying image signals from the detection terminal 14.

[0037] During operation, the main unit 1 is firmly attached to the bracket 21 of the base 2, and the arc-shaped groove 211 is used to flexibly adjust the main unit 1 at multiple angles, so that the operator can adjust the viewing angle according to actual needs. At the same time, the tilt block on the base 2 can support the main unit 1 to remain stable in the tilted state.

[0038] Next, the detection terminal 14 is flexibly extended to the target area by connecting the extension cable 13 through the terminal 12 on the back of the host 1. The housing 141 of the detection terminal 14 is provided with a forward shooting channel 146 and a side shooting channel 145, which respectively accommodate the forward camera 143 and two side cameras 144.

[0039] When the detection terminal 14 enters the target area, the front camera 143 directly captures the frontal image of the target area through the front shooting channel 146 and transmits the signal to the host computer 1 for display. Simultaneously, the side camera 144, through the cooperation of the side shooting channel 145 and the reflector 147, captures the side image information and transmits it to the host computer 1 for display. In this way, the operator can observe the full range of the target area in real time and intuitively through the display screen 11.

[0040] To ensure adequate brightness in the inspection area, several LED lamps 148 are mounted on the outer end of the housing 141. These are arranged in a circular pattern with equal spacing to provide a stable and uniform illumination source. The energy-saving and long life of the LED lamps also reduce the cost and maintenance frequency of the endoscope components.

[0041] During the entire operation process, the electrical connection between the back of the connector 142 and the extension cable 13 ensures the stability and reliability of signal transmission, thereby avoiding image distortion or data loss caused by poor connection.
