The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below. Embodiments of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which similar element reference numerals represent similar elements.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The minimally invasive surgical visualization shaving device 100 of this utility model includes a housing assembly 10, an outer blade tube 20, an inner blade tube 30 placed inside the outer blade tube 20, and a camera 40 for capturing images.

[0033] The outer blade tube 20 has its tail end 21 mounted on the outer shell assembly 10, which provides support for the outer blade tube 20. The head end 25 of the outer blade tube 20 has an outer cutting edge 23 communicating with the internal space 22 of the outer blade tube 20. An insert cavity 26 is formed on the side wall 24 of the outer blade tube 20 between the tail end 21 and the outer cutting edge 23. The head end 31 of the inner blade tube 30 has an inner cutting edge 33 communicating with the internal space 32 of the inner blade tube 30. The inner cutting edge 33 protrudes from the outer cutting edge 23 to meet the need for rotational cutting during the rotation of the inner blade tube 30 relative to the outer blade tube 20, and also to allow the removed waste to enter the inner blade tube 30 through the inner cutting edge 33 and be sucked away along the inner blade tube 30.

[0034] The camera 40 is embedded in the mounting cavity 26, and the side wall 24 of the outer blade tube 20 provides stability to the camera 40, preventing the camera 40 from protruding from the side wall 24 of the outer blade tube 20 and causing collision obstacles during the insertion of the minimally invasive surgical visualization shaving instrument 100 into the uterine cavity. The camera 40 is oriented from the tail end 21 to the head end 25 of the outer blade tube 20 (i.e.,...). Figure 1 (As indicated by arrow A in the diagram), this is to ensure that the camera 40 can capture images of the area at the head end 25 of the external blade tube 20. Specifically, in conjunction with... Figures 7 to 10 and Figure 13 As an example, the side wall 24 of the outer blade tube 20 is also provided with a wiring channel 27 that communicates with the mounting cavity 26 and extends along the direction from the head end 25 to the tail end 21 of the outer blade tube 20 (see the opposite direction indicated by arrow A). The wiring channel 27 also passes through the tail end face 211 of the outer blade tube 20. The cable 50 connected to the camera 40 is passed through the wiring channel 27, so that the cable 50 connected to the camera 40 can be routed along the side wall 24 of the outer blade tube 20, and then pass out from the tail end face 211 of the outer blade tube 20 and enter the housing assembly 10, and then the corresponding wiring operation is performed. Therefore, the minimally invasive surgical visualization shaver 100 of this utility model is simpler. More specifically, as follows:

[0035] Combination Figure 2 and Figures 5 to 8 As an example, the outer cutting edge 23 is relative to the centerline of the outer cutting tube 20 (see...). Figure 6 The center line of the outer blade tube 20 is arranged at an angle, and the side wall 24 of the outer blade tube 20 is provided with an angled part that connects to the outer blade edge 23 (see [reference]). Figure 6 The inclined surface 28 (indicated by the middle arrow) is the same as the outer incision 23. The inclined surface 28 is located between the tail end 21 of the outer incision tube 20 and the outer incision 23. This design ensures that the outer incision tube 20 does not create an obstacle to the uterine cavity during insertion and removal. Furthermore, in the direction from the tail end 21 to the head end 25 of the outer incision tube 20, the head end 31 of the inner incision tube 30 is arranged with increasing lateral exposure size compared to the outer incision tube 20, effectively improving the resection effect of the inner incision 33. More importantly, the inclination of both the outer incision 23 and the inclined surface 28 relative to the centerline of the outer incision tube 20 provides a wider field of view for the camera 40 embedded in the cavity 26 on the side wall 24 of the outer incision tube 20, further improving the imaging effect of the camera 40. Additionally, regarding... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 As an example, the side wall 24 of the outer blade tube 20 is also provided with a docking channel 29 that connects with and communicates with the mounting cavity 26 and extends through the inclined surface 28. Optionally, in Figure 2In this example, the docking channel 29 is arranged in a straight line from the tail end 21 to the head end 25 of the outer blade tube 20, so as to effectively ensure that the front of the camera 40 is not obstructed by the outer blade tube 20. Specifically, in Figure 2 As an example, the mounting cavity 26 also extends through the side wall 241 of the outer knife tube 20 to facilitate the operation of fixing the camera 40 in the mounting cavity 26, such as, but not limited to, potting fixation operation.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, as an example, the head end 251 of the outer blade tube 20 is a closed end, and the outer blade edge 23 penetrates from the side of the outer blade tube 20 through a portion of one side wall 24 and the head end 251. This design increases the strength of the head end 251 of the outer blade tube 20, and the closed nature of the head end 251 also ensures smooth insertion and removal of the outer blade tube 20. Furthermore, in conjunction with... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As an example, the outer cutting edge 23 includes a cutting edge inclined surface 231 and a first tooth segment 232 and a second tooth segment 233 arranged opposite to each other. The first tooth segment 232 and the second tooth segment 233 are each in contact with the inclined surface 231. The cutting edge inclined surface 231 is away from the inclined surface 28. The cutting edge inclined surface 231 is also in contact with the first tooth segment 232 and the second tooth segment 233 respectively. The cutting edge inclined surface 231, the first tooth segment 232 and the second tooth segment 233 and the inclined surface 28 together form a ring, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 As shown; the slope of the blade bevel 231 and the inclined bevel 28 are the same, so as to facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the outer blade tube 20.

[0037] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown in the figure, as an example, the inner cutting edges 33 are two that are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the inner cutting tube 30. Obviously, there may be three or four depending on the actual needs, so it is not considered as... Figure 12 As shown, the inner blade tube 30 has a closed end 311, and the inner blade edge 33 extends laterally through a portion of the inner blade tube 30's side wall 34 and the inner blade tube 30's end 311; this design increases the strength of the inner blade tube 30's end 311. Specifically, further... Figure 12 As an example, the inner blade 33 has a first tooth segment 331 and a second tooth segment 333 arranged opposite to each other to better match the needs of the first tooth segment 232 and the second tooth segment 233 of the outer blade tube 20.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the design of "an embedded cavity 26 is provided on the side wall 24 of the outer blade tube 20 between the tail end 21 and the outer blade edge 23 of the outer blade tube 20, and the camera 40 is embedded in the embedded cavity 26, with the camera 40 facing from the tail end 21 to the head end 25 of the outer blade tube 20" ensures that the camera 40 does not protrude outward from the outer blade tube 20, thus preventing the camera 40 from creating an obstacle to the uterine cavity during the insertion of the minimally invasive surgical visualization shaving instrument 100 into the uterine cavity; on the other hand, it integrates image function into the minimally invasive surgical visualization shaving instrument 100, overcoming the defect that existing shaving instruments require the use of an endoscope.

[0039] It should be noted that, at Figure 8 In the diagram, the vertical centerline is the intersection of the docking channel 29 and the mounting cavity 26, and the camera 40 is adjacent to this intersection. (See attached diagram for details.) Figure 8 As shown. Since the camera 40 is adjacent to the intersection, the distance between the camera 40 and the intersection is shortened while ensuring that the camera 40 does not protrude outward from the outer blade tube 20, creating favorable conditions for increasing the field of view of the camera 40. Furthermore, since the specific structure and working principle of the camera 40 are well known in the field of camera technology, they will not be described in detail here.

[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims. Furthermore, the embodiments disclosed above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. Therefore, equivalent variations made within the scope of the claims of this utility model are still within the scope of this utility model.
