Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an endoscope mounting structure for preventing the rotation of a snake-like structure. Background Technology

[0002] In current endoscopic techniques, the serpentine frame is fixedly connected to the wire braided tubing via mounting blocks, primarily using adhesive bonding. This connection method is simple to operate, low in cost, and to a certain extent meets the needs of routine endoscopy procedures. However, with the continuous development of medical technology and the increasing demands on endoscope performance, the limitations of adhesive bonding have become increasingly apparent. Especially when medical personnel frequently bend and twist the serpentine frame, the adhesive strength often cannot withstand the resulting stress, leading to connection failure. This failure not only affects the normal use of the endoscope but may also threaten the accuracy and safety of medical procedures.

[0003] Besides using adhesive to secure the connection, interference fits are often used to ensure the stability of the connection between two components; however, rigid medical endoscopes are usually supported by metal, and interference fits require heating and cooling equipment for installation, increasing the complexity and overall cost of endoscope installation and reducing its practicality. Therefore, an endoscope installation structure that can solve the above problems is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an endoscope mounting structure that prevents the snake bone from rotating, which can effectively solve the aforementioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above requirements, the technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0006] An endoscope mounting structure for preventing snake-like bone rotation is provided, including a braided tube, a detachable mounting block at the upper end of the braided tube, and a snake-like bone at the upper end of the mounting block; the lower end of the mounting block is located inside the braided tube, and a fixing block is slidably provided along the radial direction of the braided tube; a fixing hole for inserting the fixing block is provided on the side wall of the braided tube; a limiting block located below the fixing hole is also provided on the inner wall of the braided tube, and the limiting block is vertically upward; a guide slope for guiding the fixing block into the fixing hole is provided on the side wall of the upper end of the limiting block facing the fixing hole; a reset member for resetting the fixing block is also provided at the lower end of the mounting block; when installed in place, the fixing block is located in the fixing hole and abuts against the limiting block.

[0007] This utility model discloses an endoscope mounting structure for preventing snake-like rotation, wherein the mounting block is in the shape of a vertically arranged T, the longitudinal end of the mounting block is cylindrical and coaxial with the braided tube; the side wall of the longitudinal end is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating the fixing block, the lower end of the receiving groove penetrates the lower surface of the mounting block, and the upper end of the mounting block is slidably connected to the upper side wall of the receiving groove.

[0008] This utility model discloses an endoscope mounting structure for preventing snake-like rotation, wherein the fixing block has a guide groove on the side wall away from the braided tube that is adapted to the guide slope; there are two reset members, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the upper end of the guide groove.

[0009] This utility model discloses an endoscope mounting structure for preventing snake-like rotation, wherein the length of the fixing hole is greater than the length of the limiting block, and when the guide groove is in close contact with the guide slope, the upper surface of the fixing block is flush with the upper surface of the fixing hole.

[0010] This utility model discloses an endoscope mounting structure for preventing snake bone rotation. The endoscope mounting structure for preventing snake bone rotation also includes an elastic sealing ring. When installed in place, the sealing ring is located in the fixing hole and above the fixing block.

[0011] This utility model discloses an endoscope mounting structure for preventing snake-like bone rotation, wherein the braided tube includes a first braided tube body, a fixed section, and a second braided tube body; the first braided tube body, the fixed section, and the second braided tube body are all vertically arranged hollow cylinders, and the upper and lower ends of the fixed section are respectively fixedly connected to the lower end of the first braided tube body and the upper end of the second braided tube body; a limiting block and an elastic sealing ring are both installed on the fixed section.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] The endoscope provided by this utility model effectively solves the problem of easy failure under frequent operation of traditional glue bonding methods through the ingenious cooperation of the fixing block, fixing hole, and limiting block. When medical staff bend and twist the serpentine skeleton, the tight fit between the fixing block and the fixing hole, as well as the blocking effect of the limiting block, can withstand greater stress, effectively avoiding connection failure caused by insufficient glue bonding strength. It has stronger fatigue resistance and can better adapt to repeated operation during endoscope use, thereby extending the endoscope's service life and ensuring its stability and reliability in medical operations.

[0014] Meanwhile, the detachable design of the mounting block greatly facilitates the maintenance, cleaning, and disinfection of the endoscope. When repair or replacement of parts is required, the mounting block can be simply removed from the braided tube, significantly improving work efficiency and reducing maintenance costs. Furthermore, this mounting structure eliminates the need for heating or cooling equipment, further enhancing its practicality. When properly installed, the cooperation between the fixing block and the limiting block effectively prevents the serpentine tube from rotating, ensuring it remains in the correct position during use. This allows medical personnel to perform medical procedures more precisely, improving the success rate of surgeries. Attached Figure Description
