The two direction bend angle snake bone is mainly matched with the medical flexible bronchoscope, ureteral nephroscope and other thin medical endoscopes and the industrial flexible endoscope below 8mm.
[0003] The snake bone in the prior art has a rivet structure or an expansion joint structure. The rivet structure of the snake bone is prone to bending and deformation of the rivet shaft during riveting due to abnormal adjustment of the punching machine and installation correction of the riveting die, resulting in unsmooth rotation of the snake bone and low yield. The rivet head is too small to cause the rivet head to fall off, and the bending part of the endoscope is prone to failure during use or the endoscope cannot be used.

However, there are only three positioning points after the boss and the boss groove are matched and contacted, which causes the bend angle of the snake bone to deviate and has the disadvantage of poor precision. The connecting structure composed of the ball head and the ball socket can ensure the flexible rotation between different rings, but the rotation friction area is large, and the five-point positioning of this connecting structure also has the disadvantage of relatively low positioning accuracy.

[0042] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings and the embodiments given, but is not limited thereto.
[0043] As Figure 1 , 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, a two-directional bending angle snake bone of a medical endoscope, comprising a front connecting ring 1 and a rear end ring 3, and a plurality of middle connecting rings 2 arranged between the front connecting ring 1 and the rear end ring 3,
[0044] The front connecting ring 1 is provided with two front rope holes 11 arranged symmetrically along it,
[0045] Each middle connecting ring 2 is provided with two middle rope holes 21 arranged symmetrically along it, and the middle rope holes 21 correspond to the front rope holes 11,
[0046] The end of the front connecting ring 1 is provided with front connecting ears 12 arranged symmetrically along the axial direction, and the front connecting ears 12 have rear rotating shaft hooks 13 arranged perpendicularly thereto,
[0047] The two ends of the middle connecting ring 2 are respectively provided with middle connecting ears 22 arranged symmetrically, and the middle connecting ear 22 at one end is provided with a middle shaft hole 23, and the middle connecting ear 22 at the other end is provided with a middle rotating shaft hook 24 arranged perpendicularly thereto,
[0048] The end of the rear end ring 3 is provided with rear connecting ears 32 arranged symmetrically along the axial direction, and the rear connecting ears 32 have front shaft holes 33,
[0049] The front connecting ear 12 of the front connecting ring 1 is inserted into the inner hole of the middle connecting ring 2 adjacent to it, and the rear rotating shaft hook 13 is fitted into the middle shaft hole 23 of the middle connecting ring 2 and rotates,
[0050] The middle connecting ear 22 at one end of the middle connecting ring 2 adjacent to the rear end ring 3 is inserted into the inner hole of the rear end ring 3, and the middle rotating shaft hook 24 of the middle connecting ring 2 is fitted into the front shaft hole 33 of the rear end ring 3 and rotates,
[0051] The middle connecting ear 22 at one end of one of the two adjacent middle connecting rings 2 is inserted into the inner hole of the other middle connecting ring 2, and the middle rotating shaft hook 24 on the middle connecting ear 22 is fitted into the middle shaft hole 23 of the other middle connecting ring 2.

[0061] The middle rotating shaft hook 24 comprises a middle rotating shaft and a middle hook, and the middle rotating shaft of the middle connecting ring 2 adjacent to the rear end ring 3 is installed in the inner hole of the rear end ring 3 and is rotationally matched, and the middle hook of the middle connecting ring 2 is abutted against the end face of the rear connecting lug 32 of the rear end ring 3,
[0062] The middle rotating shaft of one of the two adjacent middle connecting rings is installed in the inner hole of the other middle connecting ring and is rotationally matched, and the middle hook is abutted against the end face of the middle connecting lug of the other middle connecting ring.
[0063] The snake bone of the utility model is a snake bone for two-directional corners, the rear end of the front connecting ring and one end of the middle connecting ring are both provided with a rotating shaft hook which is integrated with each other, the other end of the middle connecting ring and the front end of the rear end ring are both provided with a shaft hole which is integrated with each other, the rotating shaft hook on the front connecting ring is matched with the shaft hole of the corresponding middle connecting ring, the shaft hole on the rear end ring is matched with the rotating shaft hook of the corresponding adjacent middle connecting ring, and when the rotating shaft hook on the adjacent middle connecting ring is matched and connected with the corresponding shaft hole, the finally assembled snake bone is not only positioned well and has high precision, but also rotates flexibly, and has low production cost.
[0064] The rotating shaft hook and the corresponding shaft hole are directly inserted and assembled without gap matching, so that the positioning reference is good, and the snake bone corner is slowly rotated in the use process, so that the snake bone corner is not stressed assembled, and the rotating is flexible.
[0065] The rotating shaft hook and the shaft hole matching structure adopt six-point positioning method, so that the positioning points are more, the positioning is reliable, and the corner is also reliable.
[0066] In summary, the utility model not only has low material consumption, simple production process, reasonable structure, stable product quality, easy processing, high positioning precision of the assembled snake bone, flexible rotation, reliable corner and other advantages.
