Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically, it relates to a protective structure for gastrointestinal endoscopes. Background Technology
[0002] Gastroscopy and colonoscopy generally refer to gastrointestinal endoscopy. These procedures involve examining the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, colon, and rectum through the mouth or anus using a gastroscope or colonoscope. Painless gastroscopy and colonoscopy utilize a new, painless technique, allowing patients to complete the entire examination and treatment process without pain. A gastroscopy typically takes 20-30 minutes, while a colonoscopy takes 30-50 minutes. After the examination and treatment, patients generally only need to rest for 5-10 minutes before going home. No food can be eaten before a gastroscopy, while a colonoscopy requires taking a laxative to cleanse the intestinal contents for better visualization.
[0003] The lenses of gastrointestinal endoscopes are generally miniature cameras. These devices are highly precise but also extremely fragile. Strong changes in external light can damage the lenses of miniature cameras. Moreover, bumps or vibrations are inevitable when placing or moving gastrointestinal endoscopes. If these bumps or vibrations are directly transmitted to the lens, they will also have a negative impact on the lens's condition. Therefore, we propose a protective structure for gastrointestinal endoscopes. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a protective structure for gastrointestinal endoscopes that can overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the present invention is as follows: a protective structure for a gastrointestinal endoscope, including a support plate with an air bladder, and further including: multiple clamping plates, which are slidably disposed on the support plate, and the clamping plates are arc-shaped; an air guiding assembly, which is disposed on the support plate and is used to control the amount of air in the air bladder, the outer wall of the middle part of the air bladder being corrugated; a rotor rotatably disposed at the bottom of the support plate, used to drive the clamping plates to slide along the upper surface of the support plate; when the rotor is driven to rotate, the multiple clamping plates slide away from the air bladder, the air guiding assembly delivers air into the air bladder, and the top of the air bladder rises and contacts the endoscope lens; when the rotor continues to rotate, the clamping plates slide towards the air bladder, clamping the endoscope tube, and the air guiding assembly extracts the air from the air bladder, causing the top of the air bladder to descend and detach from the endoscope lens.
[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the clamping plate is slidably connected to the top of the support plate, the support plate is provided with a sliding groove, and a driving slider is fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping plate. The portion of the driving slider perpendicular to the support plate passes through the support plate and is slidably connected to the support plate.
[0007] Preferably, a vertical beam is fixedly connected to the bearing plate, a sleeve is fixedly connected to the vertical beam, a sliding rod is slidably connected inside the sleeve, one end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the clamping plate, and a spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod, with both ends of the spring contacting the sleeve and the clamping plate respectively.
[0008] Preferably, the air guiding assembly includes: an air box, a piston plate fixedly connected to a push rod, and an air guiding channel. The air box is fixedly connected to the support plate and one side wall coincides with the vertical beam. The piston plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the air box and fixedly connected to the clamping plate through the push rod. The air guiding channel is opened inside the support plate of the vertical beam.
[0009] Furthermore, the support plate is also provided with a mounting groove, which is connected to the inner cavity of the air box through an air guide channel. The lower part of the airbag is fixedly connected in the mounting groove, and the lower part of the airbag is provided with an air inlet, which corresponds to the air guide channel.
[0010] Preferably, the drive slider has a triangular groove, and the tip of the rotor corresponds to the groove.
[0011] Preferably, foam is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping plate, and the foam is slightly higher than the inner wall of the clamping plate.
[0012] Preferably, a lever is fixedly connected to the rotor.
[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: The present invention designs a sliding clamping plate, which forms a clamping cavity by converging the clamping plate, and seals the endoscope lens in the clamping cavity. This prevents damage to the precision photosensitive element inside the endoscope lens due to strong changes in external light when it is placed. At the same time, when the endoscope lens is sealed in the clamping cavity, it can also keep the endoscope lens in a floating state, avoiding external vibrations and collisions from being directly transmitted to the endoscope lens, which could cause scratches or damage to the lens.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0023] Example: Refer to Figures 1-5 A protective structure for gastrointestinal endoscopy includes a support plate 1 with an air bladder 3, and further includes: multiple clamping plates 2 slidably disposed on the support plate 1, the clamping plates 2 being arc-shaped; an air guiding assembly disposed on the support plate 1 for controlling the air volume within the air bladder 3, the outer wall of the central portion of the air bladder 3 being corrugated; and a rotor 4 rotatably disposed at the bottom of the support plate 1 for driving the clamping plates 2 to slide along the upper surface of the support plate 1; when the rotor 4 rotates, the multiple clamping plates 2 slide away from the air bladder 3, and the air guiding assembly guides the air bladder... 3. Intra-air supply, the top of the airbag 3 rises and contacts the endoscope lens; when the rotor 4 continues to rotate, the clamping plate 2 slides towards the airbag 3 to clamp the endoscope tube, and the air guide assembly extracts the gas from the airbag 3, causing the top of the airbag 3 to fall and detach from the endoscope lens; the bottom of the clamping plate 2 is slidably connected to the top of the support plate 1, the support plate 1 has a groove 14, and the bottom of the clamping plate 2 is fixedly connected to the drive slider 25, the part of the drive slider 25 perpendicular to the support plate 1 passes through the support plate 1 and is slidably connected to the support plate 1;
[0024] A vertical beam 11 is fixedly connected to the bearing plate 1, and a sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to the vertical beam 11. A sliding rod 21 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 13. One end of the sliding rod 21 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 2. A spring 211 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 21. The two ends of the spring 211 are in contact with the sleeve 13 and the clamping plate 2, respectively.
[0025] The air guiding assembly includes: an air box 12, a piston plate 23 fixedly connected to a push rod 22, and an air guiding channel 15. The air box 12 is fixedly connected to the support plate 1, and one side wall overlaps with the vertical beam 11. The piston plate 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the air box 12 and fixedly connected to the clamping plate 2 through the push rod 22. The air guiding channel 15 is opened inside the support plate 1 and 11 of the vertical beam. The support plate 1 also has a mounting groove 16, which is connected to the inner cavity of the air box 12 through the air guiding channel 15. The lower part of the airbag 3 is fixedly connected to the mounting groove 16, and the lower part of the airbag 3 has an air inlet 31, which corresponds to the air guiding channel 15. The drive slider 25 has a triangular groove, and the tip of the rotor 4 corresponds to the groove.
[0026] Foam 24 is fixedly connected to the top of clamping plate 2, and foam 24 is slightly higher than the inner wall of clamping plate 2; a lever 41 is fixedly connected to rotor 4;
[0027] In its initial state, the protective structure of this gastrointestinal endoscope consists of multiple clamping plates 2 clustered together to form a cylindrical clamping cavity. During use, the lever 41 is first pinched with fingers and force is applied to rotate the rotor 4. During the rotation of the rotor 4, the tip of the rotor 4 contacts the drive slider 25. As the rotor 4 continues to rotate, the tip of the rotor 4 abuts against the drive slider 25, applying a pushing force to the drive slider 25, causing the drive slider 25 to slide along the slide groove 14 away from the rotor 4 until the tip of the rotor 4 is engaged in the groove on the drive slider 25. The sliding of the drive slider 25 will cause the clamping plates 2 to slide towards the upright beam 11, causing the clamping cavity to expand outward. Furthermore, since the groove on the drive slider 25 holds the rotor 4, the clamping plates 2 will remain in position without the intervention of external force, awaiting the next operation.
[0028] As the clamping plate 2 slides towards the vertical beam 11, it pushes the push rod 22, causing the piston plate 23 to slide within the air box 12 towards the vertical beam 11. This forces the air in the air box 12 through the air guide 15 into the air bladder 3, increasing the air pressure inside the air bladder 3. Because the outer wall of the middle part of the air bladder 3 is corrugated, the top of the air bladder 3 will move upward, bringing the endoscope lens into contact with the top of the air bladder 3. This continues to drive the rotor 4 to rotate. As the tip of the rotor 4 disengages from the drive slider 25, the spring 211, which was previously compressed due to the sliding of the clamping plate 2, returns to its original position under the spring force. The sleeve 13 and the slide rod 21 both guide the spring 211 and limit the clamping plate 2, ultimately pushing the clamping plate 2 towards the endoscope tube, causing... Multiple clamping plates 2 converge to reform a clamping cavity, enclosing the endoscope lens within it. The advantage of the foam 24 at the top of the clamping plate 2 being slightly higher than the inner wall of the clamping plate 2 is that, after the clamping cavity is formed, the elastic foam 24 can fully exert its clamping and enclosing function, improving the firmness and sealing of the clamping cavity. In addition, the foam 24 can also provide a certain degree of shock absorption. As the clamping plates 2 converge, the push rod 22 pulls the piston plate 23 to slide, drawing the air in the airbag 3 back into the air box 12. When the air pressure in the airbag 3 decreases, the top of the airbag 3 descends, detaching from the endoscope lens, so that the endoscope lens is suspended in the clamping cavity. This prevents external vibrations and collisions from being directly transmitted to the endoscope lens, thus strengthening the protection of the endoscope lens.
[0029] This invention features a sliding clamping plate 2. The clamping plate 2 is brought together to form a clamping cavity, which encloses the endoscope lens. This prevents damage to the delicate photosensitive element inside the endoscope lens from strong external light changes when it is in place. At the same time, when the endoscope lens is enclosed in the clamping cavity, it can also keep the endoscope lens in a floating state, avoiding the direct transmission of external vibrations and collisions to the endoscope lens, which could cause scratches or damage to the lens.
[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
