[0033] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an integrated endoscope host. This integrated endoscope host includes a U-shaped snap-fit ​​shell 1 and an endoscope host module 2. The endoscope host module 2 is fixedly installed in the snap-fit ​​shell 1 via an integrated panel 3. The integrated panel 3 is a one-piece molded structure composed of a panel segment 301 and a side cover segment 302. A top cover 4 is movably connected to the side of the panel segment 301 facing away from the side cover segment 302. The end of the top cover 4 near the snap-fit ​​shell 1 is hinged to the panel segment 301 via a hinge 6. A screen body 5 for displaying data is also fixedly installed on the side of the top cover 4 near the panel segment 301. First hinge grooves 3011 corresponding to the hinge 6 are symmetrically distributed on the panel segment 301. Second hinge grooves 401 corresponding to the hinge 6 are also symmetrically distributed on the top cover 4. The snap-fit ​​shell 1 has a U-shaped cross-section, forming the external frame of the host and providing structural support for the host. The endoscope host module 2 is installed inside the snap-fit ​​housing 1, serving as the core functional module of the host and performing the core functions of endoscopic examination, including image capture and data transmission. It is fixedly installed in the snap-fit ​​housing 1 via an integrated panel 3, which consists of a panel segment 301 and a side cover segment 302, forming an integrated structure. The integrated panel 3 and the snap-fit ​​housing 1 form a closed structure. The top cover 4 is movably connected to the panel segment 301, can be opened to access the internal components, protects the screen body 5, and provides a data display interface. It is also hinged to the panel segment 301 via a pivot hinge 6. The screen body 5 is fixedly installed on the top cover 4 and displays the data and images captured during the endoscopic examination. The first hinge groove 3011 and the second hinge groove 401 cooperate with the pivot hinge 6 to assist in the opening and closing of the top cover 4. The top cover 4 also partially supports the screen body 5 and the pivot.

[0034] The snap-fit ​​housing 1 has a first interface area 101 and a second interface area 102 that are electrically connected to the endoscope host module 2 on the side near the side cover section 302. The side cover section 302 has a first opening 3021 and a second opening 3022 that correspond to the first interface area 101 and the second interface area 102, respectively. The first interface area 101 and the second interface area 102 are electrically connected to the endoscope host module 2 and are installed on the outside of the snap-fit ​​housing 1 through the first opening 3021 and the second opening 3022 for easy connection to external devices.

[0035] The panel segment 301 is provided with longitudinal reinforcing ribs 3012 and transverse reinforcing ribs 3013 arranged linearly to strengthen the structure. The longitudinal reinforcing ribs 3012 and transverse reinforcing ribs 3013 are staggered and interspersed to enhance the structural strength of the panel segment 301.

[0036] On the side of panel segment 301 near the engaging housing 1, a buckle 3014 and a locking strip 3015 for engaging with the engaging housing 1 are also fixedly installed. The buckle 3014 and the locking strip 3015 are arranged opposite to each other along the outline of panel segment 301. The buckle 3014 and the locking strip 3015 realize the engagement between panel segment 301 and engaging housing 1, and are arranged along the outline of panel segment 301 to ensure the stability of engagement with engaging housing 1.

[0037] A screen limiting plate 402 is installed on the side of the top cover 4 near the panel segment 301 and between the panel segments 301 to restrict the movement of the screen body 5. The screen limiting plate 402 restricts the movement of the screen body 5, ensures the stability of the display, and prevents the screen body 5 from contacting the panel segment 301.

[0038] The outer casing 1, on the side away from the side cover section 302, is provided with a third interface area 103 that is electrically connected to the endoscope host module 2 and a sound amplification area 104 for amplification. The third interface area 103 and the sound amplification area 104 are electrically connected to the endoscope host module 2 for device expansion and provide additional electrical signal connection and sound amplification functions.

[0039] An embedded finger groove 105 for gripping and lifting is provided on the side of the snap-fit ​​housing 1 away from the panel section 301. Anti-slip pads 7 are fixedly installed on the side of the snap-fit ​​housing 1 away from the panel section 301 and at the four corners of the snap-fit ​​housing 1. The embedded finger groove 105 provides convenience for gripping and carrying when the snap-fit ​​housing 1 and the top cover 4 are closed. The anti-slip pads 7 increase the stability of the main unit when it is placed and prevent it from sliding.

[0040] The snap-fit ​​housing 1 also has a heat dissipation area 106 on the side near the embedded finger slot 105 for heat dissipation, and the heat dissipation area 106 is also symmetrically distributed on both sides of the snap-fit ​​housing 1. There are multiple heat dissipation areas 106 on the snap-fit ​​housing 1 to improve heat dissipation efficiency and prevent the host from overheating.

[0041] In use, the endoscope main unit module 2 is fixedly installed in the snap-fit ​​housing 1 via an integrated panel 3. The integrated panel 3 is a one-piece molded structure composed of a panel segment 301 and a side cover segment 302. The integrated panel 3 is fixedly installed in the snap-fit ​​housing 1 to form a closed structure, thereby reducing the number of splicing seams, simplifying the assembly process, and ensuring assembly consistency. The top cover 4, on which the screen body 5 is installed, and the panel segment 301 of the integrated panel 3 are hinged together through the first hinge groove 3011, the second hinge groove 401, and the hinge 6, respectively. This enables the top cover 4 to open and close, and at the same time, the top cover 4 also bears the partial weight of the screen and serves as a hinge for the hinge. Page 6 provides support, and the snap-fit ​​housing 1 has multiple interface areas to realize electrical signal connection with the endoscope host module 2. The first interface area 101 and the second interface area 102, which are connected to the endoscope host module 2 through the first opening 3021 and the second opening 3022 of the side cover section 302, are installed on the snap-fit ​​housing 1 and connected with the third interface area 103 and the sound amplification area 104 to realize connection with external devices. The embedded finger groove 105 provides convenience for gripping and carrying. The anti-slip pads 7 increase the stability of the host when it is placed and prevent slipping. The heat dissipation efficiency is improved by multiple heat dissipation areas 106 located on the snap-fit ​​housing 1 to prevent the host from overheating.
