[0040] The present disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not to be used to limit the present disclosure in any manner. It is also to be understood that, for the purpose of convenience and brevity, only portions of the present disclosure that are pertinent to the present disclosure are illustrated in the drawings.
[0041] It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present disclosure can be combined with each other in the case of no conflict. The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0042] Unless otherwise specified, the exemplary embodiments / examples shown will be understood as providing exemplary features of various details that can implement the technical ideas of the present disclosure in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the features of various embodiments / examples can be additionally combined, separated, interchanged and / or rearranged without departing from the technical ideas of the present disclosure.
[0043] In the drawings, cross-hatching and / or shading are generally used to indicate that a portion of one component is positioned over another component, for clarity. As such, the presence of cross-hatching or shading is not a requirement of the claimed subject matter, unless otherwise specified. In addition, the size and relative sizes of the components shown in the drawings can be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. When exemplary embodiments can be practiced differently, a specific process sequence can be performed in a different order than described. For example, two consecutively described processes can be performed at substantially the same time or in reverse order of the described sequence. In addition, like reference numerals indicate like components.
[0044] When a component is referred to as being "on" or "over" another component, "connected to" or "coupled to" another component, it can be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other component, or intervening components can be present. However, when a component is referred to as being "directly on", "directly connected to", or "directly coupled to" another component, there are no intervening components present. For this reason, the term "connected" can refer to a physical connection, an electrical connection, etc., with or without intervening components.
[0045] For descriptive purposes, this disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” and “side (e.g., in a “sidewall”)” to describe the relationship between one component and another component as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacture. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a component described as “below” or “under” another component or feature would subsequently be positioned “above” said other component or feature. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both “above” and “below” orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), thus interpreting the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein accordingly.
[0046] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well. Furthermore, when the terms “comprising” and / or “including” and variations thereof are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, parts, components, and / or groups thereof, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, parts, components, and / or groups thereof. It should also be noted that, as used herein, the terms “substantially,” “about,” and other similar terms are used as approximate terms rather than as terms of degree, thus explaining the inherent biases in measurements, calculated values, and / or provided values that would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art.
[0047] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the posture adjustment device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the posture adjustment device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the posture adjustment device disclosed herein can adjust the position and orientation of the endoscope installed on it during use. The posture adjustment device may include components such as a base assembly 100, an adjustment component 200, and a fastening assembly 300.
[0049] The base assembly 100 of this disclosure is generally formed as a plate-like structure, thereby allowing the posture adjustment device of this disclosure to be fixed to a generally flat surface of the human body during use. For example, when inserting an endoscope into the thoracic or abdominal cavity, the posture adjustment device can be fixed to the chest or abdomen of the human body.
[0050] In addition, the base assembly 100 of the present disclosure can be made of plastic or the like, so that the base assembly 100 can be slightly deformed, and through the slight deformation, the base assembly 100 of the present disclosure can closely fit the skin of the human body. In a preferred embodiment, the plastic can be ABS, PP, or PC or the like.
[0051] Referring again to Figure 1 , the base assembly 100 includes a first direction, which can be the thickness direction of the base assembly 100. The middle part of the base assembly 100 is formed with a first through hole; the axis of the first through hole is arranged along the first direction. In a preferred embodiment, the first through hole can be a circular hole, and accordingly, the first through hole can be used for the endoscope to pass through.
[0052] Specifically, the base assembly 100 of the present disclosure can include a base part 110 and a fin part 120 connected to the base part 110, and accordingly, the base part 110 of the present disclosure can be formed in a substantially annular shape.
[0053] One end of the fin part 120 is connected to the base part 110, and the other end of the fin part 120 extends in a direction away from the center of the base part 110. That is, the other end of the fin part 120 is formed as a free end. Those skilled in the art should know that although the base assembly 100 of the present disclosure uses two technical features, the base part 110 and the fin part 120, to describe its structure, this is only for the convenience of description, and does not mean that the base assembly 100 of the present disclosure is formed as separate parts. On the contrary, when the base assembly 100 of the present disclosure is prepared, it can be integrally injection molded by plastic material.
[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the fin part 120 is provided in at least three, and the fin parts 120 are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the base part 110. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the number of fin parts 120 is four. Those skilled in the art should know that the fin part 120 can be provided in other numbers.
[0055] When the pose adjusting device of the present disclosure is used, the free end of the fin part 120 can be bonded to the skin of the human body by the adhesive tape 900 (such as medical adhesive tape), so as to fix the pose adjusting device of the present disclosure to the skin of the human body. Based on this, the number of fin parts 120 of the present disclosure should be set to meet the needs of fixing the pose adjusting device.
[0056] Figure 3 is an enlarged view of part A of Figure 2 .
[0057] As shown in Figure 3 The base member 110 of the present disclosure is formed with at least two stress weak regions. In a preferred embodiment, the stress weak regions can be formed by grooves 111. Specifically, grooves 111 are formed on the upper surface and / or the lower surface of the base member 110, and the positions of the two grooves 111 in the first direction correspond. The extension direction of the grooves 111 is the radial direction of the base member 110 (i.e. the direction perpendicular to the first direction); thus, the region where the grooves 111 are located is formed as a stress weak region of the base member 110, at which the base member 110 is prone to deformation, so that the base member 110 can closely fit the human body surface.
[0058] In the present disclosure, the cross-sectional shape of the groove 111 can be arc-shaped. Thus, at the stress weak region, a region where the stress gradually decreases is formed. More preferably, at least two rows of second through holes are formed on the base member 110, wherein the number of rows of second through holes can be the same as the number of stress weak regions, and the second through holes can be arranged in the stress weak regions.
[0059] Specifically, the axis of the second through hole is arranged in the first direction, i.e. the second through hole penetrates the base member 110 between the two grooves 111, so that the stress weak region can be deformed by a smaller force, thereby making the base member 110 of the present disclosure more easily fit the human body surface.
[0060] In the present disclosure, the row of second through holes is distributed in the direction perpendicular to the first direction. Specifically, the row of second through holes can be distributed along the length direction of the groove 111. In other words, the row of second through holes can be arranged in the radial direction of the base member 110.
[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the number of stress weak regions of the base member 110 can be the same as the number of fin members 120. Thus, the fin member 120 is connected to the base member 110 between two stress weak regions. When the pose adjusting device is fixed to the human body surface, the fin member 120 does not generate an elastic restoring force away from the human body surface, or even if it generates an elastic restoring force, the elastic restoring force is small.
[0062] Referring again to Figure 2 The other end of the fin member 120 can form a larger area, i.e. the end of the fin member 120 can be formed as a sticking portion 121, on which glue or double-sided tape can be applied, etc., so that the fin member 120 of the present disclosure can be directly stuck to the skin of the human body to achieve the fixation of the pose adjusting device of the present disclosure.
[0063] Figure 4 is a structural schematic diagram of an adjusting component according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0064] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the adjusting component 200 is provided as at least two; both ends of each adjusting component 200 are rotatably arranged on the base assembly 100, and the rotation axis of the adjusting component 200 relative to the base assembly 100 is perpendicular to the first direction; thus, each adjusting component 200 can be individually rotated relative to the base assembly 100 and can be at different spherical positions.
[0065] In addition, the adjusting component 200 has different rotation axes. That is, although the rotation axis of the adjusting component 200 is perpendicular to the first direction, it can be a different radial direction of the base component 110. Thus, during adjustment, the intersection of at least two adjusting components 200 can change positions, thereby enabling the endoscope fixed on the fastening assembly 300 to also change positions and attitudes (angles).
[0066] That is, after the adjusting component 200 of the present disclosure completes position and angle adjustment, at least two adjusting components 200 are fixed by the fastening assembly 300, so that the adjusting component 200 and the fastening assembly 300 can form a force-bearing whole, and the endoscope 800 can be fixed to the force-bearing whole.
[0067] As shown in Figure 4 , the adjusting component 200 of the present disclosure includes a base component 210 and shaft components 220 at both ends of the base component 210, wherein the base component 210 is arc-shaped (e.g., circular arc-shaped), and preferably, both the inner surface and the outer surface of the base component 210 can be spherical in shape, so that when the base component 210 rotates, no motion interference will occur between adjacent two adjusting components 200. In addition, the base components 210 of different adjusting components 200 have different radii, so that motion interference between two adjusting components 200 can also be effectively avoided.
[0068] The shaft component 220 is rotatably arranged on the base assembly 100. Specifically, the base component 110 is provided with a shaft hole, which can extend from the side wall of the first through hole in the radial direction of the base component 110, and the shaft component 220 is rotatably arranged in the shaft hole, so that the adjusting component 200 can rotate relative to the base assembly 100.
[0069] In a preferred embodiment, the base member 210 is provided with an elongated slot along the circumferential direction thereof, so that when the position adjustment of the adjustment member 200 is completed, the elongated slots of different adjustment members 200 can intersect, and at this time, the fastening assembly 300 passes through the elongated slots of at least two adjustment members 200 to fix the at least two adjustment members 200.
[0070] Although the adjustment member 200 of the present disclosure is described by adopting two technical features of the base member 210 and the shaft member 220, this is only for the convenience of description, and does not mean that the adjustment member 200 of the present disclosure is formed as separate components. On the contrary, the adjustment member 200 of the present disclosure can be integrally injection molded by a plastic material when prepared. The plastic material can be ABS, PP or PC, etc.
[0071] Figure 5 is a structural schematic diagram of a hollow screw 310 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0072] As shown in Figure 5 , the fastening assembly 300 of the present disclosure includes a hollow screw 310 and a nut 320 cooperating with the hollow screw 310, wherein as the nut 320 moves on the hollow screw 310 and fixes at least two adjustment members 200, the nut 320 deforms one end of the hollow screw 310, so that the hollow screw 310 can simultaneously fix the endoscope inserted into the hollow screw 310.
[0073] Specifically, one end of the hollow screw 310 is formed as a screw head, and the other end of the hollow screw 310 includes a deformation portion 311, and the nut 320 can apply a radially inward force to the deformation portion 311 and deform the deformation portion 311 inwardly to reduce the inner diameter of the hollow screw 310 to achieve the fastening of the endoscope 800 when fixing the adjustment member 200.
[0074] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, an endoscope system is provided, which includes an endoscope 800 and the above-mentioned position and posture adjustment device; wherein the fastening assembly 300 is used to fix the endoscope 800 to the adjustment member 200.
[0075] When the endoscope system of the present disclosure is in use, the nut 320 can be loosened, the central hole of the hollow screw 310 is enlarged, and after the endoscope is inserted, it can swing up and down, the adjustment member 200 can rotate relative to the base assembly 100, and the position and posture of the endoscope will change. When the endoscope is adjusted to the appropriate position, the locking nut 320 can complete the adjustment and fixation, and no longer needs to be manually operated.
[0076] In the description of the specification, the description of the terms "one embodiment / way", "some embodiments / ways", "an example", "a specific example", or "some examples" and the like means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment / way or example are included in at least one embodiment / way or example of the present application.
