Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snake bone structure technology, specifically to an integrally molded plastic snake bone structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the course of modern industrial and technological development, snake-bone structures have been widely used in many fields, including reusable endoscopes, disposable endoscopes, medical surgical robots, industrial snake robots, children's toys, medical school textbooks, and research institute experiments. However, traditional snake-bone structures are mostly made of metal and are assembled in an assembly manner, which has many limitations.

[0003] In existing technologies, the traditional snake-bone structure involves a cumbersome assembly process during production, requiring significant manpower, resources, and time. The assembly of numerous components not only prolongs the production process but also introduces errors that can lead to unstable performance and compromise product quality. Furthermore, the complex assembly process results in higher production costs, limiting the product's market competitiveness. Assembled structures rely on the splicing of various components to form the snake-bone shape; however, the connection points between these components are prone to loosening during long-term use or frequent bending and movement. This can cause deformation of the snake-bone structure, affecting overall equipment performance and potentially posing safety hazards, especially in fields such as medical and industrial applications where precision and stability are paramount. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, the connecting end includes a connecting pipe, and the connecting pipe is connected to one end of the connecting shell via a connecting block.

[0007] Preferably, the outer wall of the connecting pipe is provided with a fixing groove for external equipment to be fitted onto the connecting pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting block has fan-shaped gaps on both sides, which allow the connecting end, the probing end, and the connecting shell to bend in the radial direction of the tube.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides an integrated plastic snake-bone structure. The integrated molding design reduces assembly process steps compared to traditional assembled structures, improves production efficiency, and reduces potential errors and quality problems caused by assembly. Simultaneously, it effectively reduces material costs, to only about one-third of existing structures, demonstrating significant cost-effectiveness. This utility model ensures a stable snake-bone shape by setting interconnecting bodies on the outer wall of the connecting shell, ensuring multiple tubes are tightly spliced ​​together. The connecting end and the insertion end are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting shell via connecting blocks, tightly connected to the tube body, resulting in a stable overall structure that withstands bending and movement.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Example:

[0020] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an integrally molded plastic snake-bone structure, including a tube body 1, one end of which is a connecting end 2, and the other end of which is an insertion end 3. The connecting end 2 and the insertion end 3 are connected by several spaced-apart connecting shells 11. The connecting end 2, the insertion end 3, and the connecting shells 11 are connected by connecting blocks 13 and integrally injection molded. A pipeline channel 14 is provided in the middle of the tube body 1, axially penetrating the connecting end 2, the insertion end 3, and the connecting shells 11. An observation port 15 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting shells 11, and a wire hole 12 is provided inside the observation port 15, axially penetrating the tube body 1. The connecting block 13 is a narrow strip structure, which ensures the connection between the connecting end 2, the insertion end 3, and the connecting shells 11 while also allowing the connecting end 2, the insertion end 3, and the connecting shells 11 to bend in the radial direction of the tube body 1. The connecting block 13 has a fan-shaped gap on both sides, which allows the connecting end 2, the probing end 3, and the connecting shell 11 to bend in the radial direction of the tube body 1.

[0021] The connecting end 2 includes a connecting pipe 21, which is connected to one end of the connecting shell 11 via a connecting block 13.

[0022] The outer wall of the connecting pipe 21 is provided with a fixing groove 23 for external equipment to be sleeved on the connecting pipe.

[0023] The probe end 3 includes a probe tube 31, which is connected to one end of the connecting shell 11 via a connecting block 13.

[0024] The outer wall of the probe tube 31 is provided with a retainer 34 for restricting the installation of external equipment and preventing rotational displacement during use.

[0025] Each of the connecting shells 11 has two observation ports 15, which are arranged symmetrically between each other.

[0026] Working principle:

[0027] When in use, the entire plastic snake bone structure consists of a tube body 1, a connecting end 2, and an insertion end 3. The tube body 1 serves as the main part, with the connecting end 2 and the insertion end 3 fixedly connected at both ends to form a complete snake bone structure.

[0028] Connecting blocks 13 are provided between the connecting shell 11 of the tube body 1 and the adjacent connecting shell 11 to achieve sequential connection of multiple connecting shells 11, thereby constructing the shape of a snake bone. The pipeline channel 14 opened in the connecting shell 11 is used to accommodate the relevant pipelines and ensure the safe layout of the pipelines inside the snake bone. The wire hole 12 is located inside the observation port 15 and can be used to insert the wire. The wire and the connecting shell 11 together constitute the support structure of the snake bone, so that the snake bone maintains a stable shape during bending and movement, and also provides a certain protection for the internal pipelines. The observation port 15 in the wall can observe the entry of the wire.

[0029] The connecting end 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting shell 11 through the connecting block 13. This connection method ensures that the connecting end 2 is tightly connected to the tube body 1, which enhances the stability of the entire structure. The fixing groove 23 is used for external equipment to be sleeved on the connecting tube 21. The wire hole 12 is used for the wire to pass through and enter the inside of the tube body 1. External lines can enter through the pipeline channel 14 inside the connecting tube 21 and connect with the pipeline channel 14 inside the tube body 1 to realize the introduction of lines and provide a channel for signal or energy transmission for equipment or devices related to the plastic snake bone structure.

[0030] The probe tube 31 of the probe end 3 is fixedly connected to the connecting shell 11 through the connecting block 13, ensuring a stable connection between the probe end 3 and the tube body 1, making it an effective extension of the snake bone structure. The wiring inside the tube body 1 can be led out to the outside through the pipeline channel 14 in the wall of the probe tube 31. The wire hole 12 is used for the wire to pass through, which is convenient for connecting with other components or equipment to realize the output of signals or energy and meet the functional requirements in different application scenarios. The bayonet 34 is used to restrict the installation of external equipment and prevent rotation and displacement during use.

[0031] This one-piece molded plastic snake-bone structure, with its unique design, can play a role in multiple fields, providing flexible, stable snake-bone components with good line transmission capabilities for related equipment or devices, and adapting to various complex working environments and operational requirements.
