[0032] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figures 1-9 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0033] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the embodiment provides a hook damping adjusting structure for an endoscope, which comprises a hook, a steering structure is arranged in the hook, a handle 1 is connected to the lower end of the steering structure, and damping is generated by contact between the hook and a damping seat 11 arranged in the handle 1; a spring 8 is arranged between the damping seat 11 and the handle 1, and friction damping is generated by pressure of the spring 8. An extension cylinder 9 is arranged on the outer wall of the damping seat 11, a vertical sliding groove is arranged on the inner wall of the handle 1, the end of the extension cylinder 9 is inserted into the sliding groove, and the extension cylinder 9 is vertically slidably arranged in the handle 1. A plurality of lifting shafts 10 are arranged on the outer edge surface of the extension cylinder 9, and a rotatable wedge-shaped piece 12 is arranged on the upper end of the lifting shaft 10 on the handle 1. The wedge-shaped piece 12 is in the shape of an arc-shaped piece, a wedge-shaped surface is arranged at the lower end of the wedge-shaped piece 12, and the protruding end of the wedge-shaped surface is horizontal.

[0034] The number of the lifting shafts 10 is not less than 2 and the lifting shafts 10 are arranged in an annular array around the extension cylinder 9, so that the force of the lifting shafts 10 pressing the extension cylinder 9 is uniformly distributed around the extension cylinder 9, and the transmission stability and consistency are not affected by the lateral deviation of the extension cylinder 9.

[0035] The handle 1 is divided into an upper shell and a lower shell, and the upper shell and the lower shell are connected through fasteners.

[0036] An arc-shaped groove 15 corresponding to the lifting shaft 10 is arranged on the upper end of the handle 1, a connecting rod 13 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 15 at intervals, the upper ends of all the connecting rods 13 protrude out of the arc-shaped groove 15 and are jointly connected to a damping adjusting ring 14 rotatably arranged on the handle 1, and the lower end of each connecting rod 13 is detachably connected to the corresponding wedge-shaped piece 12. All the wedge-shaped pieces 12 can be rotated by rotating the damping adjusting ring 14. Through the side size limitation of the arc-shaped groove 15, when the connecting rod 13 is transferred from one end of the arc-shaped groove 15 to the other end by rotating the damping adjusting ring 14, the lifting shaft 10 moves on the wedge-shaped piece 12 along the wedge-shaped surface to the protruding horizontal end, so that the pressing force between the wedge-shaped piece 12 and the lifting shaft 10 is vertically distributed, and the lifting shaft 10 is not pressed against the wedge-shaped surface to cause the wedge-shaped slope to be pressed and deviated, thereby affecting the stability of damping adjustment.

[0037] The hook comprises an upper sphere 18 and a hemispherical pressing piece 16 tightly arranged at the lower end of the upper sphere 18. A handle 19 is arranged at the upper end of the upper sphere 18, the pressing piece 16 is arranged on the bearing sleeve of a radial bearing 17, and the pressing piece 16 is in contact with the damping seat 11 to generate damping. The size of the damping depends on the static friction force between the damping seat 11 and the pressing piece 16, the greater the static friction force, the greater the damping; and the smaller the static friction force, the smaller the damping.

[0038] The upper end of the damping seat 11 is a hemispherical flared portion matched with the pressing piece 16, and the lower end is a cylindrical portion sleeved on the supporting shaft 7. The hemispherical structure occupies one fourth of the size, which neither causes interference in the process of turning the hook, nor can guarantee the constant contact between the damping seat 11 and the pressing piece 16 in the process of hooking, so as to ensure the stable existence of the damping. The damping in the prior art is generally installed on the upper sphere 18 to realize the damping positioning operation in the turning process.

The supporting frame 5 is provided with a D-shaped counterbore at the shaft center, and the fixing seat 6 is embedded in the counterbore and the embedded part is D-shaped. The fixing seat 6 is limited so as to keep stable on the supporting frame 5.

[0040] According to the above technical scheme:

[0041] In the initial state, the top end of the lifting shaft 10 abuts against the starting section of the wedge-shaped surface of the lower end of the wedge-shaped piece 12 (the highest point of the lower end of the wedge-shaped piece 12), the extrusion force between the damping seat 11 and the pressing piece 16 is the largest, and the damping generated by the static friction is the largest.

[0042] When adjusting the damping, one hand holds the handle 1, and the thumb of the hand can drive the damping adjusting ring 14 to rotate. The damping adjusting ring 14 rotates to drive the connecting rod 13 to move from one end to the other end of the arc-shaped groove 15, so that the lifting shaft 10 moves from the starting end of the wedge-shaped surface of the wedge-shaped piece 12 to the raised horizontal end. The lifting shaft 10 drives the extension cylinder 9 to descend, the extension cylinder 9 drives the damping seat 11 to descend, thereby adjusting the extrusion force between the damping seat 11 and the pressing piece 16, changing the size of the static friction, and achieving the purpose of changing the damping. When the damping seat 11 is separated from the pressing piece 16, the damping is zero.

[0043] In the scheme, one hand can operate, and the use is more convenient.

[0044] In the further embodiment of the scheme, a plurality of connecting rods 13 are arranged between each wedge-shaped piece 12 and the damping adjusting ring 14.

The spacing of the outermost connecting rod 13 is smaller than the flared range of the arc-shaped groove 15, so as to leave a movement range of the lifting shaft 10 along the wedge-shaped surface. Through the plurality of connecting rods 13, the stress bearing point of the wedge-shaped piece 12 is increased, so as to prevent the wedge-shaped piece 12 from being deflected by stress.

[0045] The connecting rod 13 is connected with the damping adjusting ring 14 and the wedge-shaped piece 12 through screws, so that the connecting rod 13, the damping adjusting ring 14 and the wedge-shaped piece 12 are convenient to disassemble and replace.

[0046] In a further embodiment of the present application, the lower end of the fixing seat 6 penetrates through the support frame 5 and is screwed with the connecting column 4, the connecting column 4 is a stepped shaft with a gradually decreasing diameter from top to bottom, and the lower end of the handle 1 is provided with a through hole abutting against the eaves of the variable-diameter end of the stepped shaft. The lower half of the connecting column 4 is clamped in the through hole, and the support frame 5 is tightly screwed on the lower shell of the handle 1, so as to clamp and limit the connecting column 4 to provide a support base for the hook head.

[0047] The connecting column 4 is sleeved with the locking piece 2 abutting against the sidewall of the lower end of the handle 1, and the lower end of the connecting column 4 is screwed with the locking nut 3 abutting against the lower end of the locking piece 2. The connecting column 4 is reinforced by the locking nut 3.

[0048] In a further embodiment of the present application, the extension cylinder 9 is detachably connected with the damping seat 11. The sidewall of the extension cylinder 9 is provided with a circular hole, and the sidewall of the damping seat 11 is provided with a threaded hole.
