Because the electronic control part includes a host computer interface and a hand control detection sensor, it is compatible with both manual and automatic operation, without requiring changes to the doctor's operating habits.

[0004] However, most existing endoscope handles are single-handle structures, which are not suitable for people with different hand sizes. Furthermore, the grip posture is monotonous and lacks flexibility, resulting in poor comfort. They also lack protective structures and are prone to slipping. Therefore, they do not meet the current needs. To address this, we have proposed an endoscope handle. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an endoscope handle to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which are that most existing endoscope handles are single-handle structures, which are not suitable for people with different hand sizes, and the handle posture is monotonous, lacks flexibility, resulting in poor comfort, and lacks protective structure, making them easy to slip off.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an endoscope handle, comprising: a handle structure, the handle structure including a first handle and an extension portion, one end of the first handle being provided with an end head, the other end of the first handle being provided with a battery, the top end of the end head being provided with a guide tube, one end of the guide tube being provided with a probe, the upper surface of the first handle being provided with a display screen, and one side of the display screen being provided with a control button.

[0007] Preferably, both sides of the first handle are provided with first finger grooves, and there are multiple first finger grooves, which are distributed in an equidistant array. Both outer surfaces of the first handle are smooth surfaces.

[0008] Preferably, the extension includes a second handle, a first positioning seat and a second positioning seat, and the second handle is located above the first positioning seat and the second positioning seat. The first positioning seat and the second positioning seat are each provided with a mounting hole at their center, and the first positioning seat and the second positioning seat are respectively fitted onto the smooth surfaces at both ends of the first handle through the mounting holes.

[0009] Preferably, both the first positioning seat and the second positioning seat are provided with ball bearings on their exteriors, and the ball bearings are provided with rotating sleeves on their exteriors. The two rotating sleeves are rotatably connected to the first positioning seat and the second positioning seat respectively through the ball bearings.

[0010] Preferably, both ends of the second handle are provided with fixing screws, the upper surface of the rotating sleeve is provided with screw holes, and one end of the fixing screw passes through the second handle and is threadedly connected to the screw hole.

[0011] Preferably, the second handle has a second finger groove on both sides, and there are multiple second finger grooves, which are distributed in an equidistant array.

[0012] Preferably, both the first handle and the second handle are made of PC plastic.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) This utility model consists of a first handle and an extension part forming a handle structure. The first and second positioning seats of the extension part are respectively fitted onto the smooth surfaces at both ends of the first handle through mounting holes. The two ends of the second handle are respectively fixed to the screw holes on the upper surface of the two rotating sleeves by fixing screws, thereby realizing the connection between the second handle and the rotating sleeves. When the rotating sleeves rotate along the first and second positioning seats through ball bearings, the second handle also adjusts its position accordingly. When a person grasps the first handle, the second handle rotates downwards, which has a limiting effect on the back of the person's hand, making it less likely for the first handle to slip off the person's hand and improving the gripping stability. Furthermore, by grasping the second handle and rotating it, the second handle is positioned above the first handle, while the first handle hangs down naturally due to gravity. The distance of one rotation of the first handle is less than that of the second handle, making it suitable for people with small hands, improving usability and comfort. When rotating the guide tube, the first handle can be rotated together to avoid tangling, and there is no need for the person to manually flip the first handle, improving flexibility. This solves the problems of existing endoscope handles, most of which are single-handle structures, unsuitable for people with different hand sizes, and have a single grip posture, poor flexibility, resulting in poor comfort. They also lack protective structures and are prone to slipping.

[0015] (2) By setting first finger grooves on both sides of the first handle and second finger grooves on both sides of the second handle, the stability of the first handle when the person grasps it is improved and it is not easy to slip. The stability of the second handle when the person grasps it is improved and it is not easy to slip. In addition, there are multiple first and second finger grooves, so the person can adjust the grasping position when grasping. Compared with the existing five fixed positions, the flexibility is improved. Attached Figure Description
