[0053] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A structural diagram of a snake bone structure 100 in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The snake bone structure 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a barrel 110 and a connecting portion 120.

[0054] Referring to Figures 1-3 In the snake bone structure 100 described above, the barrel 110 has an operation through hole 111 along its axial direction, and the two ends of the barrel 110 are an operation end 221 and an insertion end 220, respectively. The connecting portion 120 is connected to the insertion end 220 of the barrel 110, and the end of the connecting portion 120 away from the barrel 110 is used to be connected to a device at the front end, and the cable of the device at the front end is arranged through the operation through hole 111 to the operation end 221. The side wall of the barrel 110 is provided with a plurality of groups of muscle position holes 113 arranged in sequence along its axial direction, each group of muscle position holes 113 includes two first avoiding through holes 114 and two second avoiding through holes 115, the two first avoiding through holes 114 are arranged on both sides of the axis of the barrel 110, the two second avoiding through holes 115 are arranged on both sides of the axis of the barrel 110, and the first avoiding through hole 114 and the second avoiding through hole 115 on the same side of the axis of the barrel 110 are communicated along the radial direction of the barrel 110 and staggered.

[0055] Referring to Figures 4-6The cable of the device at the front end is arranged through the operation through hole 111 to the operation end 221 in actual use, so that signal transmission and power supply of the device at the front end can be realized. Since the side wall of the barrel 110 is provided with a plurality of groups of muscle position holes 113 arranged along the axial direction in sequence, each group of muscle position holes 113 includes two first avoiding through holes 114 and two second avoiding through holes 115, the two first avoiding through holes 114 are arranged on both sides of the axis of the barrel 110, and the two second avoiding through holes 115 are arranged on both sides of the axis of the barrel 110, so that the barrel 110 can be bent in a direction away from the axis of the barrel 110 and opening the first avoiding through hole 114 or the second avoiding through hole 115. Since only a plurality of groups of muscle position holes 113 arranged along the axial direction in sequence, the barrel 110 is in a connected state as a whole and cannot be segmented. Since the first avoiding through hole 114 and the second avoiding through hole 115 located on the same side of the axis of the barrel 110 are communicated along the radial direction of the barrel 110, the first avoiding through hole 114 and the second avoiding through hole 115 located on the same side of the axis of the barrel 110 can be close to each other, so that the barrel 110 is bent. Since the first avoiding through hole 114 and the second avoiding through hole 115 located on the same side of the axis of the barrel 110 are staggered along the radial direction of the barrel 110, when the side walls of the first avoiding through hole 114 and the second avoiding through hole 115 close to each other abut each other, the bending deformation amount of the barrel 110 at this position reaches the maximum, so that a limiting structure can be formed only by the opening shape of the barrel 110, preventing the barrel 110 from being bent too much, and avoiding deformation and rupture of the structure of the weak position of the barrel 110.

[0056] Referring to Figure 6 , 9 , 12, in an embodiment, the side wall of the first avoiding through hole 114 located on the same side of the axis of the barrel 110 in each group of muscle position holes 113 close to the second avoiding through hole 115 is a first side wall 116, the first side wall 116 is a plane and is arranged at an angle with the axis of the barrel 110, so that the first avoiding through hole 114. The side wall of the second avoiding through hole 115 located on the same side of the axis of the barrel 110 in each group of muscle position holes 113 close to the first avoiding through hole 114 is a second side wall 117, the second side wall 117 is a plane and is arranged at an angle with the axis of the barrel 110, so that the first side wall 116 does not hinder the process of close to the second side wall 117 due to convexity or arc surface. When the first side wall 116 finally contacts the second side wall 117, since both are planes, the abutting surface is increased, and the bending limiting of the barrel 110 is more stable.

[0057] Referring to Figure 6 , 9, 12, in an embodiment, the first side wall 116 is inclined from a direction close to the first avoiding through hole 114 to a direction close to the second avoiding through hole 115. The second side wall 117 is inclined from a direction close to the second avoiding through hole 115 to a direction close to the first avoiding through hole 114, so that the abutment of the first side wall 116 and the second side wall 117 is more smooth, and no jamming occurs.

[0058] Specifically, when the cylinder body 110 is not bent, the first side wall 116 is parallel to the second side wall 117.

[0059] Referring to Figure 6 , 9 , 12, in an embodiment, the first avoiding through hole 114 and the second avoiding through hole 115 on the same side of the axis of the cylinder body 110 in each group of muscle position holes 113 are staggered along the axial direction of the cylinder body 110. Specifically, referring to Figure 6 , it can be seen that the first avoiding through hole 114 and the second avoiding through hole 115 are staggered up and down and left and right along the axial direction of the cylinder body 110, so that the first side wall 116 and the second side wall 117 can better provide the bending amount of the cylinder body 110 through spacing, and when bending, the first side wall 116 and the second side wall 117 first approach each other, then contact, then slide a certain distance, and finally the cylinder body 110 reaches the bending limit, and the first side wall 116 and the second side wall 117 are completely abutted.

[0060] Referring to Figure 6 , 9 , 12, in an embodiment, the side wall of the first avoiding through hole 114 away from the second avoiding through hole 115 on the same side of the axis of the cylinder body 110 in each group of muscle position holes 113 is a third side wall 118, and the third side wall 118 is an arc surface. The side wall of the second avoiding through hole 115 away from the first avoiding through hole 114 on the same side of the axis of the cylinder body 110 in each group of muscle position holes 113 is a fourth side wall 119, and the fourth side wall 119 is an arc surface, so that when the cylinder body 110 is bent, the arc surface is more smooth for bending and recovery than the right-angled side wall, and the right-angled side wall does not appear to have a large resistance to bending.

[0061] Specifically, the first avoiding through hole 114 and the second avoiding through hole 115 are parallel to the opening plane formed by the circumferential direction of the cylinder body 110 and a certain radial direction of the cylinder body 110.

[0062] Referring to Figures 4-6 , 10-12, in an embodiment, the opening directions of the two first avoiding through holes 114 on both sides of the axis of the cylinder body 110 in each group of muscle position holes 113 are symmetrical along the axis of the cylinder body 110. The opening directions of the two second avoiding through holes 115 on both sides of the axis of the cylinder body 110 in each group of muscle position holes 113 are symmetrical along the axis of the cylinder body 110.

[0063] In this embodiment, the two first avoiding through holes 114 on both sides of the axis of the barrel 110 in each group of the muscle position hole 113 are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the barrel 110. The two second avoiding through holes 115 on both sides of the axis of the barrel 110 in each group of the muscle position hole 113 are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the barrel 110. Referring to Figures 10-11 , the first avoiding through holes 114 on the same side of the axis of the barrel 110 in two adjacent groups of the muscle position hole 113 are oppositely arranged, and the second avoiding through holes 115 on the same side of the axis of the barrel 110 in two adjacent groups of the muscle position hole 113 are oppositely arranged; or referring to Figures 4-5 , the first avoiding through holes 114 on the same side of the axis of the barrel 110 in two adjacent groups of the muscle position hole 113 are oppositely arranged, and the second avoiding through holes 115 on the same side of the axis of the barrel 110 in two adjacent groups of the muscle position hole 113 are oppositely arranged.

[0064] Referring to Figures 7-9 , in another embodiment, the two first avoiding through holes 114 on both sides of the axis of the barrel 110 in each group of the muscle position hole 113 are coaxially arranged. The two second avoiding through holes 115 on both sides of the axis of the barrel 110 in each group of the muscle position hole 113 are coaxially arranged.

[0065] The above embodiments are all for limiting the bending of the barrel 110, and the first avoiding through hole 114 and the second avoiding through hole 115 can also be arranged in other ways, which are not described herein.

[0066] Referring to Figures 13-15 , the application also provides a snake bone assembly 210, which comprises a driving member and a snake bone structure 100.

[0067] The driving member is connected with the snake bone structure 100 and used for driving the snake bone structure 100 to bend.

[0068] The cable of the device at the front end is arranged through the operation through hole 111 to the operation end 221 in actual use, so that the signal transmission and power supply of the device at the front end can be realized, and the snake bone structure 100 is driven to bend by the driving member. Since the side wall of the barrel 110 is provided with a plurality of groups of muscle position holes 113 arranged along the axial direction in sequence, each group of muscle position holes 113 includes two first avoiding through holes 114 and two second avoiding through holes 115, the two first avoiding through holes 114 are arranged on the two sides of the axis of the barrel 110, and the two second avoiding through holes 115 are arranged on the two sides of the axis of the barrel 110, so that the barrel 110 can bend in the direction away from the axis of the barrel 110 and opening the first avoiding through hole 114 or the second avoiding through hole 115. Since only a plurality of groups of muscle position holes 113 arranged along the axial direction in sequence, the barrel 110 is in a connected state as a whole and cannot be segmented. Since the first avoiding through hole 114 and the second avoiding through hole 115 located on the same side of the axis of the barrel 110 are communicated along the radial direction of the barrel 110, the first avoiding through hole 114 and the second avoiding through hole 115 located on the same side of the axis of the barrel 110 can be close to each other, so that the barrel 110 is bent. Since the first avoiding through hole 114 and the second avoiding through hole 115 located on the same side of the axis of the barrel 110 are staggered along the radial direction of the barrel 110, when the side walls of the first avoiding through hole 114 and the second avoiding through hole 115 close to each other abut each other, the bending deformation amount of the barrel 110 at this position reaches the maximum. Therefore, a limiting structure can be formed only by the opening shape of the barrel 110 to prevent excessive bending of the barrel 110 and avoid deformation and rupture of the structure at the weak position of the barrel 110.

[0069] Referring to Figures 13-15 In an embodiment, the driving member is a plurality of steel wires 211, the barrel 110 has a plurality of through holes 112 along the axial direction, the plurality of steel wires 211 are arranged through the through holes 112 and fixed relative to the position of the insertion end 220 of the barrel 110, and the steel wires 211 extend out of the through holes 112 and close to the opening of the operation end 221. Therefore, different parts of the steel wires 211 extending out of the through holes 112 and close to the opening of the operation end 221 can be pulled, so that the insertion end 220 of the barrel 110 is pulled to bend the barrel 110.

[0070] In an embodiment, one end of part of the steel wires 211 is fixed relative to the position of the insertion end 220 of the barrel 110, the steel wires 211 extend out of the through holes 112 and close to the opening of the operation end 221, the side wall of the insertion end 220 of the barrel 110 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 212, one of the steel wires 211 corresponds to two adjacent fixing holes 212 and two adjacent through holes 112, and both ends of the steel wire 211 extend out of the through holes 112 and close to the opening of the operation end 221.

[0071] In another embodiment, one end of the steel wire 211 is fixed opposite to the insertion end 220 of the barrel 110, and the steel wire 211 extends out of the through hole 112 near the opening of the operating end 221.

[0072] Referring to Figure 16 In yet another embodiment, the side wall of the insertion end 220 of the barrel 110 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 212, and one of the steel wires 211 corresponds to two adjacent fixing holes 212 and two adjacent through holes 112, and both ends of the steel wire 211 extend out of the through hole 112 near the opening of the operating end 221.

[0073] The above embodiments are all connected with the barrel 110 and achieve the bending of the barrel 110 in the direction of the steel wire 211, and other ways of connecting the steel wire 211 or installing bending shafts at various positions of the barrel 110 can also be used to achieve the bending of the barrel 110 by electric drive, and the specific ways are not described here.

[0074] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily, and to make the description concise, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist, they should be considered as the scope of the present application.
