[0042] The present invention provides an endoscope image processor and an endoscope, which can solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and will be described in detail below.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4The endoscopic image processor includes a front housing 1, a rear housing 2, and an anti-slip strip 3. The rear housing 2 is connected to the front housing 1. The rear wall of the rear housing 2 is provided with a recessed hand groove 20 and a strip groove 21. The strip groove 21 is located on both sides of the recessed hand groove 20 and communicates with it. The anti-slip strip 3 is installed in the strip groove 21. The outer wall surface of the anti-slip strip 3 is higher than the plane of the rear wall of the rear housing 2, and the middle part of the anti-slip strip 3 is located outside the recessed hand groove 20. In this embodiment of the endoscopic image processor, the anti-slip strip 3 is provided on the rear housing 2. When the image processor is placed, the anti-slip strip 3 can play a role in cushioning protection and anti-slip. The middle part of the anti-slip strip 3 is located outside the recessed hand groove 20, and the anti-slip strip 3 also serves as a handle, allowing personnel to carry it by hand when transporting it. There is no need to set up an additional handle separately, and the overall appearance is simple and elegant.

[0044] In this embodiment, the recessed hand groove 20 and the strip groove 21 are located on the top of the rear wall of the rear housing 2. Since the anti-slip strip 3 is installed in the strip groove 21, the outer wall surface of the anti-slip strip 3 is higher than the plane of the rear wall of the rear housing 2. When the image processor is laid flat, the anti-slip strip 3 contacts the ground / tabletop, causing the front housing 1 and the display screen 7 mounted on the front housing 1 to tilt towards the user, making it easier for the user to view the image on the display screen 7. Moreover, the anti-slip strip 3 being located on the top side of the rear wall of the rear housing 2 also facilitates carrying during transport. When carried, the image processor can hang vertically, making it convenient for the user to grip. Optionally, the recessed hand groove 20 is located in the middle of the top of the rear wall of the rear housing 2. When carrying and gripping, the weight of the image processor is relatively even on both sides, and it will not tilt towards the left or right side of the image processor, making it more comfortable to grip.

[0045] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The rear housing 2 is provided with a insertion groove 22, which is located at the junction of the concave buckle groove 20 and the strip groove 21, and extends towards the thickness direction of the rear housing 2. The anti-slip strip 3 is provided with an insertion block 30, which is adapted to the insertion groove 22 so that the insertion block 30 can be inserted into the insertion groove 22, thereby improving the connection reliability and load-bearing strength between the anti-slip strip 3 and the rear housing 2. The insertion block 30 can be wedge-shaped, and the insertion groove 22 can be a wedge-shaped groove, which facilitates assembly and provides a secure connection. Optionally, the bottom of the insertion groove 22 is provided with multiple spaced through holes that penetrate the inner and outer walls of the rear housing 2, and the end of the insertion block 30 of the anti-slip strip 3 is provided with multiple protrusions that are inserted into the through holes to prevent the insertion block 30 from sliding out of the insertion groove 22.

[0046] To further limit the anti-slip strip 3 and make the connection between the anti-slip strip 3 and the rear housing 2 more reliable, a limiting groove 31 is also provided on the anti-slip strip 3, and a limiting block 23 is provided on the rear housing 2, which is inserted into the limiting groove 31. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The limiting slot 31 is close to the insertion block 30 and located above the limiting slot 31. The limiting slot 31 is set along the length direction of the anti-slip strip 3. The limiting slot 31 can be in the shape of a cross slot or a T-shaped slot. Of course, the limiting insertion block 23 also corresponds to the limiting slot 31. The limiting insertion block 23 can also be set as a cross block or a T-shaped block. When the limiting insertion block 23 is engaged with the limiting slot 31, the anti-slip strip 3 cannot move left and right or up and down along the rear housing 2.

[0047] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 Both the anti-slip strip 3 and the rear housing 2 are provided with screw holes. The screw holes are opened along the thickness direction of the rear housing 2. The anti-slip strip 3 and the rear housing 2 can be screwed together with screws or bolts, thereby fixing the anti-slip strip 3 in the thickness direction of the rear housing 2.

[0048] Optionally, the anti-slip strip 3 is also provided with a glue groove 32. The glue groove 32 is opened along the length direction of the anti-slip strip 3. The glue groove 32 is located next to the limiting slot 31 and is connected to the limiting slot 31. Glue can be applied to the inner wall of the glue groove 32 or an appropriate amount of glue can be poured into the glue groove 32. When the limiting slot 31 of the anti-slip strip 3 is inserted into the limiting block 23, the glue in the glue groove 32 can enter the limiting slot 31 and bond the limiting block 23 to the anti-slip strip 3. At the same time, the glue groove 32 is connected to the edge of the rear shell 2 to achieve adhesive connection, which further improves the reliability and the firmness of the connection.

[0049] In this embodiment of the utility model, the anti-slip strip 3 and the rear housing 2 are connected by snap-fit, adhesive and screw connection. The multiple connection methods can ensure the reliability and firmness of the connection between the anti-slip strip 3 and the rear housing 2, so as to play the role of vibration reduction, anti-slip and use as a handle.

[0050] When the image processor is placed flat, the lower rear wall of the rear housing 2 will still directly contact the ground or tabletop. To protect the image processor, an anti-slip pad 4 is provided on the lower rear wall of the rear housing 2. The anti-slip pad 4 serves two purposes: vibration damping and anti-slip, and also prevents water from the ground or tabletop from entering the interior of the rear housing 2. The anti-slip pad 4 can be made in an L-shape, clipped onto the lower edge of the rear wall of the rear housing 2, and fixed with screws. The anti-slip pad 4 can be made of anti-static rubber. Of course, the anti-slip strip 3 can also be made of the same material as the anti-slip pad 4.

[0051] refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and combined Figure 2A support frame 5 is rotatably connected to the rear housing 2. The support frame 5 supports the entire image processor and tilts it, allowing the user to view the display screen 7 from a better angle. The support frame 5 is located on the rear wall of the rear housing 2 and below the recessed hand groove 20. A groove is formed on the rear wall of the rear housing 2 to accommodate the support frame 5 and prevent the support frame 5 from protruding from the rear wall of the rear housing 2. The support frame 5 can be a rectangular plate, and the groove can be a rectangular slot.

[0052] A rotating fixing seat 51 is fixed on the rear housing 2. The rotating fixing seat 51 has an axial circular hole, and a rotating connector 52 is inserted into the axial circular hole. One end of the rotating connector 52 protrudes from the axial circular hole and is fixedly connected to the support frame 5. The end of the rotating connector 52 inserted into the axial circular hole is provided with a blind hole. This blind hole is a threaded hole, and the outer wall of this end of the rotating connector 52 has two through grooves along its axial direction. When the blind hole is engaged with the screw thread and rotates, as the depth of the screw into the blind hole increases, this end of the rotating connector 52 gradually expands outward, thereby locking itself against the inner wall of the axial circular hole. Because the end of the rotating connector 52 is provided with a blind hole and is equipped with a screw, a damping structure is formed. The rotating connector 52 can rotate but will not rotate automatically without external force. When it is necessary to rotate the support frame 5, the support frame 5 is moved, and the rotating connector 52 can rotate within the axial circular hole and can stop at any time, so that the support frame 5 can be opened or locked at a certain angle.

[0053] A battery cover 6 is connected to the rear housing 2. The battery cover 6 has a battery receiving cavity below it, which can be used to hold the battery. The battery cover 6 is provided with a protrusion 60, and the support frame 5 is provided with a recess 50. The protrusion 60 and the recess 50 are adapted to each other. When the support frame 5 is fastened and attached to the groove, the protrusion 60 is accommodated in the recess 50, which ensures that the support frame 5 is fastened tightly and will not pop up.

[0054] The front housing 1 and the rear housing 2 are connected together with screws, forming an internal mounting cavity. The mounting cavity can be used to house necessary components such as the motherboard, power module, and shielding plate. This part is considered existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The front housing 1 and the rear housing 2 are integrally formed by casting or stamping, and are generally made of plastic.

[0055] refer to Figure 9 and combined Figure 1The front housing 1 is equipped with a display screen 7, which is electrically connected to the motherboard and power module, providing real-time visual information to the user. A button mounting base 13 is located on the inner wall of the front housing 1, through which a power button 10 can be installed. The power button 10 is positioned between the display screen 7 and the power module's electrical connection harness, used to control the on / off state of the display screen 7. An indicator light 11 is also installed on the front housing 1. A retaining block 12 is positioned around the indicator light 11, separating it from the power button 10. The light emitted by the indicator light 11 is blocked by the retaining block 12, preventing light leakage from the gap at the power button 10.

[0056] Since multiple heat-generating components are housed within the mounting cavity formed by the front housing 1 and the rear housing 2, a vent 24 is provided on the rear housing 2 to allow ventilation and heat dissipation. (Reference) Figure 3 For components that generate a lot of heat, a separate vent 24 can be opened nearby and a cooling fan 242 can be added to improve heat dissipation efficiency. Of course, a filter 241 needs to be installed at the vent 24 to prevent debris from entering.

[0057] Optionally, the vent 24 can be configured as a strip-shaped grille, and the filter element 241 is a metal plate with dense small holes. The metal plate is installed on the inner wall of the rear housing 2 and connected to the vent 24.

[0058] The endoscope image processor of this embodiment of the present invention also has multiple connection holes on the side wall of the rear housing 2. Connection terminals can be arranged through these connection holes to realize image transmission and data output connection.

[0059] An embodiment of this utility model also provides an endoscope, including the aforementioned endoscope image processor, which has all the functions of an endoscope image processor.

[0060] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
