Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of endoscope technology, and more specifically, to an endoscope end mount assembly and endoscope device based on optical fiber transmission. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the continuous development and increasing maturity of endoscopic equipment, disposable endoscopes are being used more and more widely for various tissue examinations, playing a key role in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

[0003] In existing technologies, the endcaps of disposable endoscopes mostly use LED light sources, meaning the light source is usually directly located at the end of the endoscope. While this can meet inspection needs to some extent, it results in high costs associated with disposable endoscopes. Meanwhile, some disposable endoscopes employ fiber optic light guiding designs. However, due to the lack of a suitable positioning structure for the fiber optics, the assembly process is cumbersome and prone to errors. Operators struggle to accurately and efficiently assemble the endcaps, severely impacting production efficiency. Furthermore, the lack of a specially designed optimized structure in the fiber optic bonding process results in a small bonding area between the fiber optics and functional modules in the endcap, leading to insufficient bonding strength. This can cause the fiber optics to loosen or detach during use, affecting the stability of the fiber optic light guiding function and reducing the endoscope's illumination effect.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0054] The terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and "middle" used in this specification are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Any changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, shall also be considered within the scope of implementation of this utility model.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an endoscope end mount assembly based on fiber optic transmission, including an end mount base structure 1, a serpentine docking structure 2, a clamping tube structure 3, an imaging optical component structure 4, a sleeve limiting structure 5, and an alignment tube structure 6. The end mount base structure 1 and the serpentine docking structure 2 cooperate to form a directional, foolproof assembly design with assembly direction limitation, thus serving as the mounting basis for the endoscope end examination assembly. By optimizing the architectural design of the end mount base structure 1 and the imaging optical component structure 4, the installation compatibility between the imaging optical component structure 4 and the end mount base structure 1 can be improved, and the bonding area can be effectively increased, thereby enhancing the bonding and positioning firmness of the imaging optical component structure 4 corresponding to the end mount base structure 1. Furthermore, the use of the socket limiting structure 5 in conjunction with the alignment tube structure 6 significantly improves the overall alignment accuracy between the snake-bone docking structure 2, the clamp tube structure 3, and the end base structure 1. This further enhances the assembly compatibility and overall robustness of the components, optimizes installation efficiency, and strengthens the functionality and practicality of the device. Specific settings are as follows:

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The end base structure 1 includes a docking portion 12 and an examination end portion 13 fixedly connected together, and an instrument channel 11 is provided through the interior of the docking portion 12 and the examination end portion 13. The outer surface of the docking portion 12 is provided with a limiting protrusion 121 for assembly positioning and a guide adhesive groove 122 for guiding and bonding the imaging optical component structure 4. The examination end portion 13 is provided with an imaging optical component channel 131 corresponding to and communicating with the guide adhesive groove 122, and the imaging optical component channel 131 is located on one side of the instrument channel 11. The imaging optical component structure 4 can extend along the guide adhesive groove 122 and be inserted into the imaging optical component channel 131, forming a predetermined insertion positioning space. Simultaneously, the guide adhesive groove 122 facilitates adhesive application and increases the bonding area, thereby enhancing the positioning stability of the imaging optical component structure 4 in the end base structure 1.

[0057] For details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The guiding adhesive groove 122 includes an optical fiber adhesive groove 1221 and a module adhesive groove 1222. The imaging optical component channel 131 includes an optical fiber hole 1311 and a module hole 1312. The imaging optical component structure 4 includes an optical fiber body 41 and a camera module 42. Both the optical fiber adhesive groove 1221 and the module adhesive groove 1222 are configured as groove structures extending linearly from the end of the docking portion 12 toward the microscopic examination end 13. The optical fiber hole 1311 is connected to the optical fiber adhesive groove 1221, and the module hole 1312 is connected to the module adhesive groove 1222. The optical fiber body 41 extends along the optical fiber adhesive groove 1221 and is inserted into the optical fiber hole 1311, and the camera module 42 extends along the module adhesive groove 1222 and is inserted into the module hole 1312. By setting the guide dispensing groove 122, the fiber optic cable 41 and the camera module 42 can be accurately guided into the fiber optic hole 1311 and the module hole 1312, respectively. At the same time, the open bonding space formed by the fiber optic dispensing groove 1221 and the module dispensing groove 1222 significantly improves the convenience of bonding and the bonding area. It also facilitates the full irradiation of the adhesive area by ultraviolet light, thereby further improving the fixing firmness of the fiber optic cable 41 and the camera module 42, and effectively improving the integration and functional stability of the endoscope end-examination component.

[0058] In one optional implementation, the dispensing groove is configured as a straight-line extending groove to facilitate process wiring and dispensing; or, the dispensing groove is configured as a curved extending or stepped groove to adapt to special structures or space-constrained end designs.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The end of the snake-bone docking structure 2 is fitted onto the docking portion 12 of the end base structure 1, and the end of the snake-bone docking structure 2 has a limiting groove 21 that engages with the limiting protrusion 121. The limiting groove 21 is a straight sliding groove structure with parallel sides, and the two sides of the limiting protrusion 121 and the two sides of the limiting groove 21 are slidably connected in a one-to-one correspondence. Through the engagement between the limiting groove 21 and the limiting protrusion 121, a smooth transition docking between the snake-bone docking structure 2 and the end base structure 1 can be achieved. At the same time, a directional, foolproof assembly relationship with assembly direction limiting function is formed to prevent assembly misalignment or rotational misalignment, significantly improving the convenience and accuracy of installation for operators, and effectively enhancing the stability of the connection after assembly.

[0060] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The limiting protrusion 121 is located on the opposite side of the guide adhesive groove 122, which can effectively distinguish between the foolproof assembly function and the adhesive bonding function through partitioning, ensuring the independence and reliability of each function, thereby improving the overall functional stability and effectively reducing the probability of misoperation.

[0061] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 3 The clamp channel structure 3 and the imaging optical component structure 4 are respectively disposed inside the snake bone docking structure 2, and the end position of the clamp channel structure 3 is docked and connected to the instrument channel 11, thereby forming a predetermined instrument extension and control path, providing stable support for endoscopic instrument operation.

[0062] As another preferred embodiment, please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The two ends of the alignment tube structure 6 are respectively fitted and embedded in the inner walls of the instrument channel 11 and the forceps channel tube structure 3. By setting the alignment tube structure 6, while ensuring the connection between the forceps channel tube structure 3 and the instrument channel 11, a smooth connection and precise alignment function for the extended control path of the endoscopic instruments are further achieved, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of component installation. Furthermore, based on the glue injection and fixation at both ends of the alignment tube structure 6, a firm connection between the forceps channel tube structure 3 and the end base structure 1 is effectively achieved through adhesive bonding. In addition, by embedding one end of the alignment tube structure 6 into the forceps channel tube structure 3, it can be ensured that the diameter of the forceps channel tube structure 3 is not smaller than that of the instrument channel 11, providing structural support for increasing the diameter of the forceps channel tube structure 3, thereby improving the overall adaptability of the device and enhancing the overall functional application flexibility.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6The sleeve limiting structure 5 and the end base structure 1 are integrally molded, which can effectively ensure the accuracy of the hole size and shape of the end base structure 1 and the sleeve limiting structure 5 through the integral molding design, while enhancing the stress stability of the overall structure.

[0064] Specifically, the socket limiting structure 5 includes a first limiting part 51 and a second limiting part 52. The first limiting part 51 is an integral annular boss located on the outer side between the docking part 12 and the end of the endoscope 13, and its end face abuts against the end of the snake-bone docking structure 2 to precisely limit the direction of the snake-bone docking structure 2 corresponding to the end seat base structure 1. The second limiting part 52 is an integral annular boss on the inner wall of the instrument channel 11, and its end face abuts against one end of the alignment tube structure 6 embedded in the instrument channel 11 to achieve axial positioning of the alignment tube structure 6 within the instrument channel 11, preventing the alignment tube structure 6 from excessively extending into the instrument channel 11, thereby ensuring the reliability and consistency of the overall assembly quality.

[0065] In another optional implementation, the socket limiting structure 5 can also be configured as a plurality of limiting protrusions or stepped flanges distributed at equal intervals along the circumference, all of which can achieve the limiting function and improve the reliability of assembly.

[0066] The structural arrangement of the components described in this utility model can be appropriately adjusted according to the specific type of endoscope or application scenario. For example, the positional relationship between the instrument channel 11 and the imaging optical component channel 131, the shape and layout of the guide adhesive groove 122, the external dimensions of the sleeve limiting structure 5, and the setting method of the first limiting part 51 and the second limiting part 52 can all be changed according to actual needs. Without changing the core function of this utility model, the above-mentioned structural changes or optimizations should be considered as equivalent modifications of this utility model and are still within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0067] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
