[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0035] The core of the utility model provides a kind of capsule endoscope, can improve the assembly efficiency of capsule core and shell.

[0036] Specific embodiment one of the capsule endoscope provided by the utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 8 , including shell 1 and capsule core 2, capsule core 2 is fixed in shell 1.

[0037] As Figure 7 Indicated, shell 1 includes first shell 11, second shell 12 and third shell 13.Second shell 12 and third shell 13 are connected to first shell 11 on the two sides in axial direction respectively. Among them, the first axis end of first shell 11 is provided with first baffle 14, and the second axis end is provided with mounting port 111, in the assembly process, capsule core 2 can be inserted into first shell 11 along the axial direction through mounting port 111, until the assembly with first baffle 14 is completed, then second shell 12 and third shell 13 are installed on first shell 11.

[0038] Among them, as Figure 1 Indicated, one axis end of capsule core 2 is provided with first light source 22. As Figure 2 Indicated, first baffle 14 is provided with first insertion hole 141 along the axial direction, and first insertion hole 141 is provided corresponding to first light source 22, specifically, it can be one-to-one corresponding setting, that is, one first light source 22 is matched and inserted with one first insertion hole 141.

[0039] In the assembly process of capsule core 2 and first shell 11, capsule core 2 can be inserted into first shell 11 along the axial direction through mounting port 111, and only when capsule core 2 is rotated to a set angle relative to first shell 11, first light source 22 can be matched and inserted with corresponding first insertion hole 141 along the axial direction.

[0040] In addition, after the capsule core 2 is installed in the first shell 11, as shown in Figure 6 , the second shell 12 can be fastened to the installation opening 111 of the first shell 11 on one side in the axial direction, as shown in Figure 7 , the third shell 13 is connected to the first shell 11 on the other side in the axial direction, and covers the first insertion hole 141.

[0041] In this embodiment, since the first insertion hole 141 is a through structure in the axial direction, the position of the first light source 22 on the capsule core 2 can be observed from the outside, that is, the capsule core 2 has visibility during installation in the outer shell 1, which facilitates the assembly between the capsule core 2 and the first baffle 14, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the capsule endoscope. At the same time, since the first light source 22 can be axially inserted into the corresponding first insertion hole 141 only when the capsule core 2 is rotated to a certain angle relative to the first shell 11, a foolproof setting is achieved, which ensures that the capsule core 2 can only be assembled in the first shell 11 at a certain angle, preventing the assembly angle from being incorrect or the capsule from rotating and affecting power-off due to the lack of foolproof positioning in the outer shell 1. In addition, since the first light source 22 is directly used as a limiting piece to be inserted into the first insertion hole 141, the first light source 22 is turned on during assembly, which further facilitates the observation of the position of the first light source 22, and no additional separate limiting piece is needed, thereby achieving the multifunctionality of the first light source 22 and improving the production efficiency of the capsule core 2.

[0042] In order to facilitate observation of the assembly effect, as shown in Figure 6 , the first light source 22 is inserted into the corresponding first insertion hole 141 from one side in the axial direction and extends out of the corresponding first insertion hole 141 from the other side.

[0043] In order to achieve the assembly of the first light source 22, as shown in Figure 1 , the first shaft end of the capsule core 2 is provided with a mounting plate 21, which is specifically a PCB. The first light source 22 is protrudingly arranged on one axial end face of the mounting plate 21, which facilitates the assembly of the first light source 22 on the capsule core 2.

[0044] In order to ensure the foolproof effect, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 8 , the first light source 22 is a plurality of. Among them, all the first light sources 22 are arranged in sequence around the circumference of the first axis S extending in the axial direction. The included angle formed by each adjacent two first light sources 22 relative to the first axis S is not the same, that is, the first light sources 22 are non-uniformly arranged along the circumference of the first axis S, and correspondingly, the first insertion holes on the first baffle 14 are also non-uniformly arranged along the circumference of the first axis S.

[0045] It should be noted that the angle between two adjacent first sockets 141 and the first axis S specifically refers to the angle formed by a specific point or line of two adjacent first sockets 141 and the line connecting the first axis S radially, for example... Figure 8 In the first socket 141, there are 4 first sockets 141. The lines connecting the midpoint of each first socket 141 radially to the first axis S are OA, OB, OC and OD, respectively. The four included angles are ∠A=90°, ∠B=70°, ∠C=120° and ∠D=80°, respectively. This achieves a non-uniform arrangement of the first sockets 141, so that the first sockets 141 and the first light source 22 can be connected simultaneously under only one angular relationship.

[0046] In addition, the radial distance between the first socket 141 and the first axis S can be the same or different.

[0047] Furthermore, the number of first sockets 141 can be adaptively set according to the number of light sources. In this embodiment, there are 4 first sockets 141 and 4 light sources. In other embodiments, there can also be 3 or other numbers.

[0048] Of course, in other embodiments, the first light source 22 can be arranged in other ways to achieve foolproofing, for example... Figure 9 In some embodiments, the first light source 22 can be configured with different shapes, and the first socket 141 has the same shape as the corresponding first light source 22; or, as in... Figure 10 In the embodiment shown, each of the first light sources 22 is arranged linearly.

[0049] To improve assembly stability, such as Figure 6 As shown, a central pillar 24 is provided at the first axial end of the capsule core 2, and the central pillar 24 is inserted into the first baffle 14 along the axial direction. In addition, the first axis S passes through the central pillar 24, and the first light sources 22 are arranged sequentially around the central pillar 24 in the circumferential direction.

[0050] To reduce processing difficulty, such as Figure 1 As shown, the structures of each first light source 22 are identical. Specifically, the first light source 22 is a rectangular body, and the first socket 141 is a rectangular hole. In other embodiments, the first light source 22 and the first socket 141 can also be circular, triangular, etc.

[0051] In addition, such as Figure 5As shown, the second axial end of the capsule core 2 is provided with a second light source 23, at this time, the two axial ends of the capsule core 2 are functionally symmetrical and can provide light respectively. Correspondingly, the shell 1 further comprises a second baffle 15, and the second baffle 15 is provided with a second insertion hole 151 penetrating in the axial direction. In the assembly process, the capsule core 2 is inserted into the first shell 11 in the axial direction through the mounting port 111, and after the first light source 22 is axially matched and inserted into the corresponding first insertion hole 141, the second baffle 15 can be mounted on the mounting port 111, and the second light source 23 is inserted into the corresponding second insertion hole 151. More specifically, the first baffle 14 and the second baffle 15 can be provided in a symmetrical structure, and the two ends of the first light source 22 and the second light source 23 in the axial direction can also be symmetrically arranged.

[0052] The first insertion hole 141 of the first baffle 14 in the capsule endoscope in the embodiment is unevenly distributed. Through the corresponding insertion and matching of the first light source 22 and the first insertion hole 141, after the capsule core 2 is assembled into the first shell 11, the rotation is limited, and the assembly is in place only at one angle, so that the foolproof effect is achieved. After the foolproof, the capsule core 2 is in a fixed position, and through cooperation with the power-off device, the purpose of power-off of the capsule endoscope is achieved, the assembly error during production and assembly of the capsule endoscope is prevented, and the production efficiency is improved.
