DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In the prior art, in order to ensure the accuracy of the relative position of the insertion part connecting shaft 200 and the insertion part rotary knob 120, a limiting structure is arranged between the two, for example, a first plane is arranged on the insertion part connecting shaft 200, and a second plane is arranged on the insertion part rotary knob 120. Only when the first plane and the second plane are in close contact, can it be ensured that the insertion part connecting shaft 200 is inserted into the insertion part rotary knob 120, so that the relative position of the two is unique and fixed after insertion. At the same time, the insertion part and the insertion part connecting shaft 200 are fixedly connected, and the relative position of the two cannot be adjusted after being fixed. Therefore, the position accuracy of the insertion part and the insertion part connecting shaft 200 directly determines the assembly quality of the insertion part. In order to ensure the accuracy of the relative position of the insertion part and the insertion part connecting shaft 200, an identification part is generally arranged. However, due to the structural limitation of the insertion part itself, the positioning identification cannot be guaranteed to be accurate, thereby causing the direction deviation of the insertion part and the insertion part connecting shaft 200, and finally leading to the direction deviation of the finished insertion part. In addition, in actual assembly, the insertion part and the insertion part connecting shaft 200 are bonded by a glue layer. In order to ensure the bonding strength, a certain gap is reserved between the two to ensure sufficient glue filling amount. In the initial curing stage, the glue layer has no structural strength, and during the curing period, the insertion part and the insertion part connecting shaft 200 are prone to misalignment, thereby causing the direction deviation of the insertion part and the insertion part connecting shaft 200, and finally leading to the direction deviation of the finished insertion part.

[0039] Therefore, the designer provides an insertion tube connecting structure which can improve the direction deviation of the insertion tube body 001 and improve the assembly quality of the insertion tube body 001 and the handle shell 100.

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0046] Please combine Figures 1-5 In the embodiment, the insertion tube connecting structure includes a handle shell 100, a connecting shaft 200 and a locking assembly 300. The handle shell 100 is provided with an assembly hole 121, the connecting shaft 200 is arranged in the assembly hole 121, and the locking assembly 300 is connected to the connecting shaft 200. The locking assembly 300 has a first working state and a second working state which are switched with each other, when the locking assembly 300 is in the first working state, the locking assembly 300 is fixedly connected with the handle shell 100 to limit the movement of the connecting shaft 200 relative to the assembly hole 121. When the locking assembly 300 is in the second working state, the connecting shaft 200 can rotate relative to the assembly hole 121 around the axis of the connecting shaft itself.

[0047] As described above, the use mode of the insertion tube connecting structure provided by the embodiment is as follows:

[0048] In the initial assembly stage, the locking assembly 300 is in the second working state, the connecting shaft 200 can move relative to the handle shell 100, at this time, the connecting shaft 200 is operated to rotate relative to the handle shell 100 in the assembly hole 121 around the axis of the assembly hole 121, so as to adjust the direction of the connecting shaft 200 relative to the handle shell 100, and realize the adjustment of the direction of the insertion tube body 001 relative to the handle shell 100. When the connecting shaft 200 is rotated to the position matched with the handle shell 100, the relative position of the connecting shaft 200 and the handle shell 100 is kept unchanged, the locking assembly 300 is operated, and the connecting shaft 200 is locked with the handle shell 100 by the cooperation of the locking assembly 300 and the handle shell 100. After locking, the connecting shaft 200 neither rotates relative to the handle shell 100 nor slides out of the assembly hole 121 relative to the handle shell 100, and the relative position of the connecting shaft 200 and the handle shell 100 is firm and reliable. During the assembly process, the direction of the insertion tube body 001 relative to the handle shell 100 can be adjusted by adjusting the direction of the connecting shaft 200 relative to the handle shell 100, which is not affected by the position accuracy of the insertion tube body 001 and the connecting shaft 200, is flexible and convenient to operate, and the relative position of the insertion tube body 001 and the handle shell 100 is accurate, and the yield rate is high.

[0049] It should be noted that when the locking assembly 300 is in the first working state, the locking assembly 300 cooperates with the handle shell 100 to fix the connecting shaft 200, at this time, the connecting shaft 200 cannot rotate relative to the assembly hole 121 around the axis of the assembly hole 121, nor slide relative to the assembly hole 121 along the axis of the assembly hole 121. Conversely, when the locking assembly 300 is in the second working state, the locking assembly 300 loses the constraint on the connecting shaft 200, at this time, the connecting shaft 200 can rotate relative to the assembly hole 121 around the axis of the assembly hole 121, and can slide relative to the assembly hole 121 along the axis of the assembly hole 121.

[0050] It should be understood that the insertion tube body 001 can also be referred to as an insertion part.

[0051] The following embodiments illustrate the details of the insertion tube connecting structure of the present application by way of example.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the handle housing 100 optionally includes a housing body 110 and a knob 120.

The knob 120 can be sleeved on the outside of the housing body 110 through structural parts such as bearings, and the knob 120 can be rotatably matched with the housing body 110 around its own axis. Alternatively, the knob 120 can be directly sleeved on the outside of the housing body 110 or inserted into the housing body 110, and it is sufficient to ensure that the knob 120 and the housing body 110 are rotatably matched. At the same time, in order to improve the stability of the position of the knob 120 relative to the housing body 110, the knob 120 and the housing body 110 are relatively fixed in the extension direction of the rotation axis of the knob 120.

[0053] It should be understood that the assembly hole 121 is provided on the knob 120, and the connecting shaft 200 can cooperate with the knob 120 through the locking assembly 300. By rotating the knob 120, the connecting shaft 200 and the insertion tube body 001 connected to the connecting shaft 200 can be driven to rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the front end direction of the insertion tube body 001, which is flexible to use.

[0054] Optionally, a fixing protrusion 130 is provided on the wall of the assembly hole 121. The fixing protrusion 130 can be configured as an annular protrusion, with the axis of the assembly hole 121 extending through the annular protrusion. For example, in this embodiment, the fixing protrusion 130 is annular, with the axis of the fixing protrusion 130 collinear with the axis of the assembly hole 121. The connecting shaft 200 extends through the area enclosed by both the assembly hole 121 and the fixing protrusion 130, and the connecting shaft 200 is rotatable relative to the assembly hole 121 and the fixing protrusion 130.

[0055] Please combine Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the connecting shaft 200 is optionally configured as a stepped shaft. The connecting shaft 200 includes a coaxial and integral first shaft section 210 and a second shaft section 220. The outer diameter of the first shaft section 210 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second shaft section 220. A limiting step 230 is formed at the connection position between the first shaft section 210 and the second shaft section 220. The outer peripheral surface of the first shaft section 210 is provided with an external thread. The end face of the first shaft section 210 is provided with a positioning hole 211. The positioning hole 211 includes a connected equal-diameter hole section and a variable-diameter hole section. The end of the variable-diameter hole section is the first end, and the end of the equal-diameter hole section is the second end. The inner diameter of the variable-diameter hole section gradually decreases in the direction from the first end to the second end. For example, the variable-diameter hole section is a conical hole section. The insertion tube body 001 can be inserted into the positioning hole 211 from the first end. The insertion tube body 001 first enters the variable-diameter hole section. The variable-diameter hole section has a guiding function, which is convenient for operation.

[0056] Optionally, the outer circumferential surface of the second shaft section 220 is provided with annular positioning grooves 221, the annular positioning grooves 221 are coaxially arranged on the second shaft section 220, and the number of the annular positioning grooves 221 can be one or more. When the number of the annular positioning grooves 221 is more than one, the plurality of annular positioning grooves 221 are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the second shaft section 220. For example, in the embodiment, the number of the annular positioning grooves 221 is two. A sealing element 400 can be sleeved in each annular positioning groove 221, and the sealing element 400 can be a rubber sealing ring or the like.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the embodiment, optionally, the locking assembly 300 includes a locking nut 310 and a locking washer 320. The locking nut 310 is screwed with the external thread on the first shaft section 210, and the locking washer 320 is sleeved on the first shaft section 210 and can abut against the limiting step 230.

[0058] It should be understood that the assembly method of the insertion tube connection structure provided in the embodiment includes, for example:

[0059] First, separate the locking nut 310 from the connecting shaft 200, and then sleeve the locking washer 320 on the first shaft section 210.

Then, screw the locking nut 310 on the first shaft section 210, and place the locking nut 310 on the side of the fixing protrusion 130 away from the locking washer 320. In this way, the locking washer 320 and the locking nut 310 cooperate to clamp the fixing protrusion 130. In the initial stage of assembly, the locking nut 310 does not cooperate with the locking washer 320 to clamp the fixing protrusion 130, and the connecting shaft 200 can rotate relative to the assembly hole 121 to achieve angle adjustment. After adjustment is completed, the connecting shaft 200 and the knob 120 are fixedly different, and the locking nut 310 is rotated to clamp the fixing protrusion 130 by the locking nut 310 and the locking washer 320, so as to fix the connecting shaft 200 and the knob 120.
