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.

[0004] To overcome these problems and improve the performance, efficiency, and economy of snake-bone structures in various applications, this invention proposes a one-piece molded plastic snake-bone structure, aiming to provide a more advanced, stable, and cost-effective solution to meet the ever-growing and diverse demands of modern technological development for snake-bone components. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an integrally molded plastic snake-bone structure, comprising: a tube body, with a connecting end fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tube body, and an insertion end fixedly connected to the end of the tube body away from the connecting end; the tube body includes a connecting shell, with connecting bodies symmetrically fixedly connected to both ends of the outer wall of the connecting shell, a pipeline channel opened in the wall of the connecting shell, wire grooves symmetrically fitted in the inner wall of the connecting shell, and wire holes symmetrically fitted in the wall of the connecting shell. The connecting bodies on the outer wall of the connecting shell are used for fixed connection with the connecting bodies of adjacent connecting shells, realizing the sequential connection of multiple connecting shells. The integrally molded design reduces assembly process steps compared to traditional assembled structures. The overall structure can be adjusted in length from 1mm to 200mm and in diameter from 1mm to 100mm. The length and diameter can be adjusted according to different needs, making it widely applicable and practical.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting body of the connecting shell is fixedly connected to the connecting body of the adjacent connecting shell, and the wire hole is located inside the wire groove. The wire hole, located inside the wire groove, can be used to thread a wire. The wire and the connecting shell together form the support structure of the snake skeleton, enabling the snake skeleton to maintain a stable shape during bending and movement, while also providing a certain degree of protection for the internal pipeline.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting end includes a connecting pipe, the outer wall of which has a fixing groove, and protrusions are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe. An inlet channel is formed in the wall of the connecting pipe, and inlet holes are symmetrically formed in the inner wall of the connecting pipe. External lines can enter through the inlet channel inside the connecting pipe and connect with the pipeline channel inside the pipe, realizing the introduction of lines and providing a signal or energy transmission channel for equipment or devices related to the plastic snake-bone structure.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the protrusion is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connector, and the end of the connecting pipe near the connecting shell is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting shell. The fixing groove is used for external equipment to be sleeved on the connecting pipe, and the inlet hole is used for steel wire to pass through and enter the inside of the pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the probe end includes a probe tube, the outer wall of which has a bayonet, and mounting blocks are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the probe tube. A wire outlet channel is formed in the wall of the probe tube, and wire outlet holes are symmetrically formed in the inner wall of the probe tube. The wiring inside the tube can be led out to the outside through the wire outlet channel in the probe tube wall. The wire outlet holes are for steel wires to pass through, facilitating connection with other components or equipment to achieve signal or energy output and meet functional requirements in different application scenarios.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the mounting block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connector, and the end of the probe near the connector shell is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connector shell.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This utility model adopts an integrated molding design, which reduces assembly process steps, improves production efficiency, reduces errors and quality problems that may occur during the assembly process, and effectively reduces material costs to only about one-third of the cost of existing structures, thus having significant cost benefits.

[0013] 2. This utility model ensures that multiple tubes are tightly spliced ​​together by setting the connecting bodies on the outer wall of the connecting shell to be fixedly connected to each other, thus constructing a stable snake-bone shape. The connecting end and the probing end are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting body by protrusions and connecting bodies, and mounting blocks and connecting bodies, so as to be tightly connected to the tube body. The overall structure is stable and is not easy to loosen or deform during bending, moving and other operations, which effectively ensures the normal operation of the equipment. The steel wire and the connecting shell together form a support structure. The reasonable layout of the steel wire holes and wire grooves not only provides a path for the steel wire to pass through, enhancing the strength and toughness of the snake-bone, but also allows the wires to be placed in an orderly manner, while protecting the internal pipelines, further improving the stability of the entire structure under complex working conditions.

[0027] Working principle:

[0028] When in use, the entire plastic snake bone structure consists of a tube body 1, a connecting end 2, and an insertion end 3.
