[0040] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides a rotating support, including: a positioning seat 1, a rotating block 2, and a rod 3. The positioning seat 1 is connected to a housing 7, the rotating block 2 is rotatably connected to the positioning seat 1, and the rod 3 is connected to the rotating block 2. The rotating block 2 drives the rod 3 to rotate, and the rod 3 is provided with a insertion slot 30. During surgery, the rod 3 is in a supported state, and the water cylinder 6 is inserted into the insertion slot 30. At this time, the rod 3 is higher than the housing 7. After the surgery, the water cylinder 6 is removed, and the rod 3 is rotated so that it is placed horizontally outside the housing 7. This allows the rod 3, which is higher than the housing 7 in the supported state, to be stored outside the housing 7 for easy storage. The rotating support of this utility model does not require disassembly to meet the requirement of easy storage, making it convenient and practical to use.

[0042] refer to Figure 4 The positioning base 1 includes a circular protrusion 12, a retaining plate 10, and a locking pin 11. The two ends of the locking pin 11 are connected to the retaining plate 10 and the circular protrusion 12, respectively. The retaining plate 10 is disc-shaped, the locking pin 11 is cylindrical, and the circular protrusion 12 is tubular. The circular protrusion 12, the retaining plate 10, and the locking pin 11 are coaxially arranged, and their outer diameters increase sequentially. Mounting holes are provided on the side wall of the chassis 7. The locking pin 11 passes through the mounting holes and engages with them. At this time, the circular protrusion 12 is located on the outside of the chassis 7, and the retaining plate 10 is located on the inside of the chassis 7.

[0043] Specifically, one side surface of the disc-shaped baffle 10 is in contact with the side wall of the chassis 7; the overall shape of the locking post 11 is cylindrical, but at least two tangent planes are provided on the circumferential wall of the locking post 11, and the mounting hole wall of the chassis 7 is correspondingly provided with a plane, so that the locking post 11 and the chassis 7 are stably connected, so that the positioning seat 1 as a whole will not rotate or move; the central axis of the circular protrusion 12, the locking post 11 and the baffle 10 are on the same straight line.

[0044] The rotating block 2 is provided with a rotating cavity 23, and the round protrusion 12 is housed in the rotating cavity 23. The round protrusion 12 can rotate in the rotating cavity 23, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating block 2 around the positioning seat 1 and storing the rod 3 on the outside of the housing 7.

[0045] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The rotating block 2 is cylindrical in shape, and one end of the rod 3 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating block 2. Of course, the rod 3 and the rotating block 2 can also be integrally formed.

[0046] One side of the rotating block 2 is hollowed out to form a circular groove, the bottom of which does not extend to the other side of the rotating block 2. A cylindrical ring 20 and a central column 21 are arranged in the circular groove. The central column 21 is located on the central axis of the rotating block 2. The cylindrical ring 20 and the central column 21 are coaxial and spaced apart. The cylindrical ring 20, the central column 21, and the bottom of the circular groove together form a rotating cavity 23. At this time, a through hole is opened on the circular protrusion 12 along its central axis. The central column 21 is inserted into the through hole, so that the circular protrusion 12 on the positioning seat 1 is accommodated in the rotating cavity 23, and the positioning seat 1 rotates around the central column 21.

[0047] The size of the circular bump 12 is adapted to the rotating cavity 23, so that the circular bump 12 can rotate smoothly in the rotating cavity 23. At the same time, the circular bump 12 will not be displaced in the radial direction when rotating, ensuring the stability of the rotating block 2 when rotating.

[0048] Since the outer diameter of the locking post 11 is larger than the outer diameter of the circular protrusion 12, the end face of the locking post 11 is in contact with the end face of the cylindrical ring 20.

[0049] refer to Figure 5 and combined Figure 3 The positioning seat 1 has a connecting hole 121, and the rotating block 2 has a stepped hole 24. The connecting hole 121 and the stepped hole 24 are coaxially arranged. The same connector 4 is inserted into the connecting hole 121 and the stepped hole 24 so that the rotating block 2 is connected to the positioning seat 1 and can rotate.

[0050] As an example, the connecting hole 121 is a threaded hole, and the connecting part 4 is a screw or bolt, which is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole. The connecting hole 121 is opened along the central axis of the round protrusion 12, the retaining post 11, and the retaining plate 10, and the connecting hole 121 passes through the round protrusion 12, the retaining post 11, and the retaining plate 10. When connecting the positioning seat 1 and the rotating block 2, the screw or bolt enters from the stepped hole 24 on the rotating block 2, and then the screw is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the round protrusion 12, with the head of the screw or bolt abutting against the stepped surface of the stepped hole 24.

[0051] refer to Figure 7 A spring is provided between the head of the screw or bolt and the stepped surface of the stepped hole 24. The spring force can generate an axial force between the screw or bolt and the internal thread of the threaded hole, thereby adjusting the tightness of the connection between the rotating block 2 and the positioning seat 1.

[0052] It is worth mentioning that the stepped hole 24 on the rotating block 2 extends from one side of the rotating block 2 to the central column 21, and the small-diameter hole of the stepped hole 24 is located on one side of the central column 21. No threads are provided on the hole wall of the stepped hole 24.

[0053] In other examples, the connector 4 can also be a pin or post, which allows the rotating block 2 to be rotatably connected to the positioning seat 1.

[0054] Continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In order to limit the rotation range of the rotating block 2 on the positioning seat 1 and thus control the rotation range of the rod 3, a limit stop 22 is provided on the inner side wall of the cylindrical ring 20, and a limit notch 122 is drilled on the outer circumferential side wall of the circular protrusion 12. The limit stop 22 is located inside the limit notch 122. The rotation range of the rotating block 2 is limited by the limit stop 22. The rotation range of the rotating block 2 is determined by the circumferential length of the limit notch 122.

[0055] In this embodiment, both ends of the limiting notch 122 are flat, and both ends of the limiting notch 122 coincide with the radial tangent of the circular protrusion 12. The angle between the two ends of the limiting notch 122 is 90°, which means that the rotating block 2 can rotate around the positioning seat 1 by a maximum of 90°. The radial angle between the two ends of the limiting notch 122 is 90°, which has a significant advantage: no matter what the length of the rod 3 on the rotating block 2 is, the rod 3 can be stored outside the chassis 7, ensuring that the rod 3 will not be higher than the chassis 7.

[0056] Of course, depending on the length of the rod 3, the circumferential length of the limiting notch 122 can also be other values, but it is necessary to ensure that the end of the rod 3 does not exceed the chassis 7 when it is stored.

[0057] Furthermore, the end face of the limiting block 22 facing the center of the circular protrusion 12 is an arc surface, which is adapted to the limiting notch 122, thereby ensuring that the rotating block 2 can rotate smoothly around the positioning seat 1.

[0058] To enable the rotating block 2 to rotate more smoothly with the positioning seat 1, hemispherical ball grooves 25 are provided on the end face of the circular protrusion 12 and the bottom of the rotating cavity 23. The hemispherical ball grooves 25 on the end face of the circular protrusion 12 and the hemispherical ball grooves 25 on the bottom of the rotating cavity 23 are positioned correspondingly and together form a complete ball groove 25. Balls 13 are installed in the ball groove 25, thereby realizing the rolling contact between the rotating block 2 and the circular protrusion 12.

[0059] refer to Figure 8 and combined Figure 1 To facilitate quick removal of the water vapor cylinder 6 from the rod 3, a hook 60 is fixed to the cap or body of the horizontal bottle. A connector 5 is movably inserted into the insertion slot 30 of the rod 3, and an arc-shaped hanging ring is provided on the connector 5. The hook 60 of the water vapor cylinder 6 is hung on the arc-shaped hanging ring. After the procedure, the connector 5 can be directly removed from the insertion slot 30 of the rod 3, and then the rotating block 2 can be rotated to complete the storage of the rod 3.

[0060] The rotating bracket of this utility model has a simple structure and is convenient and quick to use. After the rotating bracket is fixed on the chassis 7, the rod 3 can be quickly stored without disassembly. The rod 3 is placed horizontally on the outside of the chassis 7 and will not be higher than the chassis 7, which is conducive to storage.

[0061] refer to Figure 9 An embodiment of this utility model also provides a portable endoscope image processor, including: a display screen 8, an endoscope housing 7 and a rotating bracket. The display screen 8 is connected to the endoscope housing 7 via a pivot 80, and the display screen 8 can be fastened to the upper surface of the endoscope housing 7. The rotating bracket can be located on the side of the endoscope housing 7.

[0062] It is understandable that, compared to traditional endoscopes where the display screen 8 and the endoscope host are separate units, and are placed on a dedicated endoscope trolley for a longer period of time, portable endoscope image processors that integrate the display screen 8 and the endoscope host are more often used in medical scenarios where the endoscope is moved multiple times. The rotating bracket described in this embodiment of the invention, used in conjunction with the portable endoscope image processor, can better meet the requirements for storage and transportation.

[0063] Of course, the rotating bracket of this utility model can also be used in other scenarios. The above description is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit the scope and field of application of the rotating bracket.

[0064] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
