Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically to an endoscope. Background Technology

[0002] The human lung has a complex, tree-like structure. Due to these physiological characteristics, endoscopes require constant rotation and adjustment of the insertion point during lung examinations for optimal insertion. Traditional endoscopes typically rely on the operator's arm rotation to rotate the insertion point, which can lead to operator fatigue over time, impacting diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, traditional endoscopes require large-angle bends in the bronchial structures, exerting reverse pressure on the tracheal mucosa and potentially causing damage.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide an endoscope that allows the operator to easily adjust the insertion direction is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an endoscope that facilitates the operator in adjusting the insertion direction. To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model provides an endoscope, comprising:

[0006] handle;

[0007] An insertion part is provided, one end of which is provided with a camera for capturing images. The camera is electrically connected to an image processor. A rotating ring is connected to the end of the insertion part away from the camera. The end of the rotating ring away from the insertion part is rotatably connected to the handle.

[0008] Furthermore, the insertion part includes a first curved section, an adaptive curved section, and a rigid section. One end of the rigid section is connected to the rotating ring, and the other end of the rigid section is connected to the adaptive curved section. The end of the adaptive curved section away from the rotating ring is connected to the first curved section, and the camera is connected to the end of the first curved section away from the rotating ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the end of the rigid segment furthest from the rotating ring and the end of the adaptive bending segment near the rotating ring are provided with position marks.

[0010] Furthermore, the camera and the image processor are electrically connected via a cable.

[0011] Furthermore, a plug socket is provided at the end of the cable away from the camera, a plug is connected to the end of the plug socket away from the cable, an anti-drop rope is connected to the plug socket, and a waterproof cap for protecting the plug is connected to the end of the anti-drop rope away from the plug socket.

[0012] Furthermore, the cable extends from the side wall of the end of the handle away from the camera, and a cable protective sleeve is provided at the connection point between the cable and the handle.

[0013] Furthermore, a plug socket protective sleeve is provided at the connection point between the cable and the plug socket.

[0014] Furthermore, a swing arm is provided at the end of the handle away from the camera.

[0015] Furthermore, the rotating ring and the handle are respectively provided with a first pair of sites and a second pair of sites at their ends that are close to each other.

[0016] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses an endoscope in which the operator rotates the rotating ring during the process of adjusting the forward direction of the insertion part. The rotating ring drives the insertion part to rotate, thereby causing the insertion part and the handle to rotate relative to each other, thus completing the direction adjustment of the insertion part. The rotation of the insertion part can be completed without the operator rotating his arm, saving the operator's physical strength and making the endoscope insertion process more convenient and faster.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] See Figure 1-7 This utility model discloses an endoscope, comprising:

[0028] Handle 4;

[0029] Insertion part 1, one end of which is provided with a camera for capturing images, the camera being electrically connected to an image processor, and the end of insertion part 1 away from the camera being connected to a rotating ring 2, the end of rotating ring 2 away from insertion part 1 being rotatably connected to a handle 4.

[0030] During the process of the operator inserting the insertion part 1 into the patient's lung, when it is necessary to adjust the forward direction of the end of the insertion part 1 away from the handle 4, the rotating ring 2 is rotated. The rotating ring 2 causes the insertion part 1 to rotate relative to the handle 4, thereby adjusting the insertion direction of the insertion part 1, saving the operator's physical strength and improving the operation efficiency.

[0031] In some embodiments, the insertion part 1 includes a first curved section 19, an adaptive curved section 20, and a rigid section 22. One end of the rigid section 22 is connected to the rotating ring 2, and the other end of the rigid section 22 is connected to the adaptive curved section 20. The end of the adaptive curved section 20 away from the rotating ring 2 is connected to the first curved section 19, and the camera is connected to the end of the first curved section 19 away from the rotating ring 2.

[0032] In some embodiments, the adaptive bending segment 20 is made of a flexible material.

[0033] During the insertion of the insertion section 1 into the patient's lung, when the adaptive bending section 20 comes into contact with the tracheal mucosa, the adaptive bending section 20 will bend adaptively, avoiding compression of the tracheal mucosa by the adaptive bending section 20, thereby avoiding damage to the tracheal mucosa.

[0034] In some embodiments, the end of the rigid segment 22 away from the rotating ring 2 and the end of the adaptive bending segment 20 near the rotating ring 2 are provided with position marks 21.

[0035] During the process of connecting the rigid segment 22 and the adaptive bending segment 20 to the rotating ring 2 and the first bending segment 19 respectively, the positions of the rigid segment 22 and the adaptive bending segment 20 are determined by the cooperation of the position marks 21 on the rigid segment 22 and the adaptive bending segment 20, so as to avoid connecting the adaptive bending segment 20 to the rotating ring 2 and the first bending segment 19 to the rigid segment 22, which would result in reverse installation.

[0036] In some embodiments, the camera and the image processor are electrically connected via cable 9.

[0037] The image signal captured by the camera is transmitted to the image processor via cable 9. The image processor processes the image and outputs the processed image to the display.

[0038] In some embodiments, a plug socket 11 is provided at the end of the cable 9 away from the camera, a plug 18 is connected to the end of the plug socket 11 away from the cable 9, an anti-drop rope 13 is connected to the plug socket 11, and a waterproof cap 12 for protecting the plug 18 is connected to the end of the anti-drop rope 13 away from the plug socket 11.

[0039] During the cleaning or disinfection of the endoscope, the waterproof cap 12 is connected to the plug socket 11 to provide waterproof protection for the plug 18 and prevent liquid from entering the plug 18.

[0040] The waterproof cap 12 is secured to the plug socket 11 by the anti-drop rope 13 to prevent the waterproof cap 12 from being lost.

[0041] In some embodiments, a sealing ring 17 is provided at the connection between the waterproof cap 12 and the plug socket 11.

[0042] In some embodiments, the cable 9 extends from the side wall of the end of the handle 4 away from the camera, and a cable protective sleeve 8 is provided at the connection between the cable 9 and the handle 4.

[0043] By changing the position where cable 9 extends from handle 4, interference with the operator during operation is prevented.

[0044] In some embodiments, a plug socket protective sleeve 10 is provided at the connection between the cable 9 and the plug socket 11.

[0045] In some embodiments, the end of the handle 4 away from the camera is connected to a swing arm 14, which is connected to the first curved section 19.

[0046] Adjust the bending angle of the first bending section by moving the swing arm up and down.

[0047] In some embodiments, the rotating ring 2 and the handle 4 are respectively provided with a first pair of sites 15 and a second pair of sites 16 at their ends that are close to each other.

[0048] In the initial state, the first pair of sites 15 and the second pair of sites 16 coincide. During the process of adjusting the angle of the insertion part 1, the relative position of the first pair of sites 15 and the second pair of sites 16 can be used to determine the angle that the insertion part 1 has rotated relative to the handle 4, which makes it convenient to adjust the insertion direction of the insertion part 1.

[0049] In some embodiments, the endoscope handle 4 is provided with a working channel opening 3, which is connected to the working channel, and an instrument for sampling is inserted into the working channel through the working channel opening 3.

[0050] In some embodiments, the endoscope is equipped with a side leak valve 7, a suction valve 6, and a button 5. The button 5 is electrically connected to the function buttons on the image processor. When it is necessary to save the currently displayed image or video, the button 5 is pressed to control the function buttons on the image processor, thereby controlling the image processor and saving the image or video. The suction valve 6 aspirates fluid from the lungs. The side leak valve 7 detects whether the endoscope is sealed. Before cleaning and disinfecting the endoscope, the side leak valve 7 determines whether the endoscope is leaking air to prevent liquid from entering the endoscope and causing damage to the endoscope.

[0051] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably.
