Abstract

This application provides a dual-lens industrial endoscope with a detachable bracket or strap. By integrating a display screen onto the endoscope body to replace an external mobile phone screen, and providing a component including a detachable mounting platform and bracket on its back (fixed surface), the operator can easily fix the endoscope body to their arm or an external support using flexible fasteners on the bracket. This allows the operator to hold and operate the probe with only one hand to insert it into the inspection area, observing the image directly on the display surface of the endoscope body. This completely frees up the other hand for auxiliary operation, significantly enhances equipment stability, avoids image shake and the risk of drops, and significantly improves the convenience of inspection operations.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of endoscopes, and more particularly to a dual-lens industrial endoscope with a detachable support or strap. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial endoscopes, as an important non-destructive testing tool, have been widely used in various scenarios such as automotive repair, machinery manufacturing, and pipeline inspection. Through a slender probe inserted deep into confined spaces or hidden parts of equipment, they transmit the detected image information, helping inspectors to intuitively understand internal damage, wear, blockages, and other conditions. This effectively improves the accuracy and efficiency of inspections, while reducing the cost and time consumed by equipment disassembly.

[0003] Currently, in practice, especially in automotive repair settings, endoscopes are connected to mobile devices via wired or wireless means. During testing, the operator inserts the endoscope's lens into the instrument being inspected, and the image captured by the lens is transmitted in real-time to the mobile device, which serves as the display screen. During this process, the operator needs to hold and manipulate the endoscope's lens with one hand to ensure accurate alignment with the area being inspected, while holding the mobile device with the corresponding app in the other hand to view the image, thus completing the entire inspection operation. However, because both hands are required to operate the endoscope lens and the mobile device simultaneously—for example, in automotive repair inspections where the position of the instrument being inspected might need to be adjusted or simple oil cleaning might need to be performed—the operator cannot free up their hands for other auxiliary operations. Furthermore, unstable grip could lead to the device being dropped or the image becoming shaky, affecting the inspection results and safety.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a dual-lens industrial endoscope with an easy-to-operate detachable bracket or strap. Utility Model Content

[0028] Embodiments of this application provide a dual-lens industrial endoscope with a detachable bracket or strap, comprising: An endoscope body and a probe connected to the endoscope body; A display surface is provided on the endoscope body and is used to display the images acquired by the probe; A fixed surface is provided on the endoscope body and is opposite to the display surface; The mounting assembly includes a mounting platform and a mounting frame, which are detachably connected. The mounting platform is disposed on the fixed surface, and the mounting frame is provided with a flexible fastener for fixing the endoscope body to an external support, wherein the external support is a human arm.

[0029] The aforementioned dual-lens industrial endoscope with a detachable bracket or strap integrates a display surface on the endoscope body to replace an external mobile phone screen. A component including a detachable mounting platform and bracket is provided on its back (fixed surface), allowing operators to easily secure the endoscope body to their arm or an external support using flexible fasteners on the bracket. This enables operators to hold and operate the probe with only one hand, observing the image directly on the display surface, thus completely freeing up the other hand for auxiliary operation. It also significantly enhances equipment stability, avoids image shake and the risk of drops, and significantly improves the convenience of inspection operations.

[0030] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0031] according to Figures 1-8 This application provides a dual-lens industrial endoscope 100 with a detachable bracket or strap, including: an endoscope 10 body, a probe 20, a display surface 11, a fixing surface 12, and a mounting assembly 30.

[0032] The endoscope 10 body is connected to the probe 20; a display surface 11 is disposed on the endoscope 10 body and is used to display the image acquired by the probe 20; a fixing surface 12 is disposed on the endoscope 10 body and is opposite to the display surface 11; and a mounting assembly 30 includes a mounting platform 31 and a mounting frame 32, the mounting platform 31 and the mounting frame 32 being detachably connected. The mounting platform 31 is disposed on the fixing surface 12, and the mounting frame 32 is provided with a flexible fixing member 50, which is used to fix the endoscope 10 body to an external support, wherein the external support is a human arm.

[0033] Specifically, the endoscope 10 is the main device integrating the imaging and control module. The probe 20 is connected to the distal end of the endoscope 10 via a flexible connecting cable. The display surface 11 is located on the surface of the endoscope 10 body, directly displaying the real-time images transmitted by the probe 20. This replaces the need for an external mobile phone as a display device, allowing the operator to directly observe the images on the endoscope 10, thereby reducing reliance on external devices. The fixing surface 12 provides a reliable mounting position for the mounting platform 31 in the mounting assembly 30, and facilitates direct observation of the display surface 11 by the operator when the endoscope 10 is fixed.

[0034] The detachable connection between the mounting platform 31 and the mounting bracket 32 ​​allows for different application scenarios, increasing the versatility and flexibility of the endoscope 10, while also facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the mounting components 30.

[0035] The flexible fastener 50 can be any type of strap, Velcro, etc. The flexible fastener 50 is connected to the mounting bracket 32, thereby fixing the entire endoscope 10 to the object being bound by the binding of the flexible fastener 50.

[0036] The external support can be the operator's arm, a bracket, or a workbench, etc. In this application, it is preferred to tie the flexible fastener 50 to the operator's arm, so that the operator can tie the endoscope 10 to one arm and operate the movement of the probe 20, and both eyes can directly look at the display surface 11 on the endoscope 10 for detection, while the other hand can perform other cleaning work, thereby improving the convenience of operation and detection efficiency.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, the mounting platform 31 has a sliding groove 311, which is disposed on the side facing the fixed surface 12; the mounting bracket 32 ​​includes a sliding block 321, which is disposed on the side of the mounting bracket 32 ​​close to the fixed surface 12, and the sliding block 321 extends perpendicular to the fixed surface 12, and the sliding block 321 can extend into or out of the sliding groove 311.

[0038] Specifically, the sliding groove 311 serves as a guide rail for the sliding block 321 and defines the movement path of the mounting bracket 32, ensuring the docking of the mounting bracket 32 ​​with the mounting platform 31. By setting the sliding groove 311 on the side facing the fixed surface 12, after the sliding block 321 extends into the sliding groove 311, the movement plane of the mounting bracket 32 ​​is close to the fixed surface 12 of the endoscope 10, thereby reducing the cantilever length after connection and reducing the impact of shaking after connection and fixation on the clarity of the observed image.

[0039] Operators can push the mounting bracket 32 ​​with one hand to slide the sliding block 321 into the sliding groove 311, achieving quick installation and fixation without the need for tools.

[0040] In the embodiments of this application, there are two sliding grooves 311, which are respectively opened on both sides of the mounting platform 31. There are also two corresponding sliding blocks 321, which are set at the corresponding positions of the sliding grooves 311, thereby ensuring the fixing effect.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, the sliding block 321 includes a first sliding rod 3211 and a second sliding rod 3212. One end of the first sliding rod 3211 is connected to the mounting bracket 32, and the other end is connected to the second sliding rod 3212. The first sliding rod 3211 and the second sliding rod 3212 are perpendicularly connected. The sliding groove 311 has an inlet 3111, a sliding surface 3112, and an abutment surface 3113. The inlet 3111 and the abutment surface 3113 are disposed opposite to each other. The sliding surface 3112 is located between the inlet 3111 and the abutment surface 3113, and the sliding surface 3112 can slide in contact with the second sliding rod 3212. The sliding block 321 can be inserted into the sliding groove 311 along the inlet 3111 and move along the sliding surface 3112 to abut against the abutment surface 3113.

[0042] Specifically, the first sliding rod 3211 and the second sliding rod 3212 of the sliding block 321 are in an "L" shape to prevent the sliding block 321 from tilting or loosening in the sliding groove 311. Especially when the flexible fastener 50 is tied and fixed, it can ensure the connection between the mounting bracket 32 ​​and the mounting platform 31 and prevent the endoscope 10 from shaking and affecting the detection.

[0043] The insertion port 3111 is the entrance for the sliding block 321 to enter the sliding groove 311. Its size is adapted to the sliding block 321 to ensure that the sliding block 321 can be smoothly inserted. The sliding surface 3112 provides guidance for the sliding block 321 and limits the movement trajectory of the sliding block 321. Through the contact sliding, it ensures that the sliding block 321 moves along the preset path. The abutment surface 3113 is used to abut against the sliding block 321 after it is inserted into the sliding groove 311, thereby limiting the movement stroke of the sliding block 321, determining the final connection position between the mounting bracket 32 ​​and the mounting platform 31, and avoiding structural interference caused by excessive insertion of the sliding block 321.

[0044] The operator aligns the sliding block 321 of the mounting bracket 32 ​​with the inlet 3111 of the sliding groove 311, causing the second sliding rod 3212 to fit against the sliding surface 3112. The mounting bracket 32 ​​is pushed along the inlet 3111, causing the second sliding rod 3212 to slide along the sliding surface 3112. When the first and second sliding rods of the mounting bracket 32 ​​slide to abutment against the contact surface 3113, the sliding block 321 fully enters the sliding groove 311. At this point, the mounting bracket 32 ​​is connected to the mounting platform 31, and the flexible fastener 50 can be used to secure the endoscope 10. When the flexible fastener 50 fixes the endoscope 10 body to the external support, the mounting bracket 32 ​​is subjected to tension, which is transmitted to the second sliding rod 3212 through the first sliding rod 3211. The second sliding rod 3212 is in close contact with the sliding surface 3112 and the abutment surface 3113. The vertical structure disperses the tension, ensuring that the connection is not loose and the endoscope 10 is stable. The operator can operate the probe 20 with one hand and perform auxiliary work with the other hand.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, the endoscope 10 further includes a blocking assembly 40, which includes a blocking portion 41 movable in a direction perpendicular to the fixed surface 12. The blocking portion 41 is disposed within the sliding groove 311 and at one end away from the abutment surface 3113. The blocking assembly 40 has a blocking area and an unlocking area. The blocking area is located on the side of the fixed surface 12 facing the mounting platform 31, and the unlocking area is located on the side of the fixed surface 12 away from the mounting platform 31. In the blocking area, the blocking portion 41 partially extends into the sliding groove 311 to prevent the sliding block 321 from disengaging from the insertion port 3111. In the unlocking area, the blocking portion 41 exits the sliding groove 311, allowing the sliding block 321 to disengage from the insertion port 3111.

[0046] Specifically, the locking and unlocking of the sliding block 321 is achieved by switching the position of the blocking part 41, thereby avoiding the problem that the sliding connection between the mounting bracket 32 ​​and the mounting platform 31 is limited only by the contact surface 3113 and is prone to disengagement due to vibration and other factors. The blocking part 41 can be a columnar structure, a block structure, etc. It can be moved perpendicular to the fixed surface 12 to change its extension or retraction onto the fixed surface 12. When the mounting bracket 32 ​​is pushed to move along the extension inlet 3111 to the sliding groove 311, the sliding block 321 moves to the side that abuts against the contact surface 3113. The blocking part 41 can abut against the other end of the sliding block 321, thereby preventing the sliding block 321 from coming out.

[0047] When the blocking area, i.e. the blocking component 40, extends out of the fixing surface 12 in the direction perpendicular to the fixing surface 12, the blocking part 41 extends into the sliding groove 311, thereby preventing the sliding block 321 from being dislodged from the sliding groove 311.

[0048] The unlocking area, i.e., the blocking component 40, moves along the direction of the vertical fixed surface 12 into the exit slide groove 311, so that the limiting component 40 is hidden in the fixed surface 12, thereby allowing the sliding block 321 to slide freely on the slide groove 311, allowing the mounting bracket 32 ​​to be installed and removed on the mounting table 31.

[0049] In one specific embodiment, the blocking assembly 40 further includes a pressing part 42, which moves along a direction perpendicular to the fixed surface 12 and is integrally connected to the blocking part 41. The pressing part 42 is disposed adjacent to the blocking part 41. The blocking part 41 has a guide slope 411 on the side adjacent to the insertion port 3111. The guide slope 411 is used to guide the sliding block 321 to push the blocking assembly to move when the sliding block 321 is inserted into the sliding groove 311.

[0050] Specifically, the pressing part 42 is used to receive external force to drive the blocking part 41, which is integrally connected to the pressing part 42, to move from the blocking area to the unlocking area. The pressing part 42 and the blocking part 41 are connected adjacent to each other to avoid the operating space between the pressing part 42 and the sliding groove 311. Thus, by operating the pressing part 42, the pressing part 42 moves up and down in the direction of the vertical fixed surface 12, and drives the blocking part 41 to move together, thereby causing the blocking part 41 to extend or retract from the sliding groove 311.

[0051] By contacting and guiding the sliding block 321 through the guide ramp 411, the blocking part 41 is moved, thereby realizing the linkage between the insertion of the sliding block 321 and the unlocking of the blocking part 41, so that the sliding block 321 can smoothly enter the sliding groove 311 without additional operation.

[0052] When it is necessary to remove the sliding block 321 from the sliding groove, an external force perpendicular to the fixed surface 12 is applied to the pressing part 42. The pressing part 42 drives the blocking part 41 to move synchronously, so that the blocking part 41 moves from the blocking area to the unlocking area, releasing the sliding groove 311 channel. The sliding block 321 can be smoothly removed, thereby completing the disassembly of the mounting bracket 32 ​​and the mounting platform 31.

[0053] In one specific embodiment, the endoscope 10 further includes a housing 13, in which an installation cavity 13a is formed; an elastic reset member 43 is disposed in the installation cavity 13a, one end abutting against the pressing part 42 and the other end abutting against the housing 13, the elastic reset member 43 being used to apply an elastic force toward the blocking assembly 40 toward the blocking area.

[0054] Specifically, the housing 13 serves as the structural carrier of the endoscope 10. The housing 13 is composed of two enclosed shells. The display surface 11 and the fixing surface 12 are respectively disposed on one shell. The mounting cavity 13a, which is a closed space formed in the housing 13, provides mounting space for electronic components of the endoscope 10. In the embodiment of this application, the mounting cavity 13a provides mounting space for the blocking component 40 and the elastic reset component 43. The connection between the blocking part 41 and the pressing part 42 of the blocking component 40 is disposed in the mounting cavity 13a.

[0055] The elastic reset member 43 can be an elastic spring. When the pressing part 42 is pressed and the blocking component 40 is moved to the unlocking area, the spring is compressed. When the pressing part 42 is not subjected to external force, the elastic force of the spring drives the blocking component 40 to move to the blocking area, thereby realizing the linkage function of pressing to unlock and releasing to reset.

[0056] When the elastic reset member 43 is in its naturally extended state, the elastic reset member 43 applies a spring force to the pressing part 42 toward the blocking area. The pressing part 42 drives the blocking part 41 to extend out of the fixed surface 12, so that the blocking component 40 extends into the sliding groove 311, and the sliding block 321 extending into the sliding groove 311 is abutted by the blocking part 41, thereby connecting the mounting bracket 32 ​​and the mounting platform 31 and preventing the mounting bracket 32 ​​from falling out. When the operator presses the pressing part 42, the pressing part 42 compresses the elastic reset member 43 to deform and store force, while driving the blocking part 41 to move toward the unlocking area, so that the limiting component 40 moves toward the mounting cavity 13a, thereby hiding the limiting component 40 in the fixed surface 12, opening the sliding groove 311 channel, and the sliding block 321 can be dislodged from the insertion port 3111, thereby separating the mounting bracket 32 ​​from the mounting platform 31.

[0057] After the pressing part 42 is released, the elastic reset member 43 releases its potential energy, pushing the pressing part 42 to reset, which in turn drives the blocking part 41 back to the blocking area, closing the path of the sliding groove 311 again. When the sliding block 321 of the mounting bracket 32 ​​is inserted into the extension 3111 of the mounting platform 31, the front end of the sliding block 321 contacts the guide slope 411 of the blocking part 41 and applies a pushing force, forcing the blocking part 41 to compress the elastic reset member 43 and move it towards the unlocking area. After the sliding block 321 is fully inserted and passes the blocking part 41, the elastic reset member 43 drives the blocking part 41 to reset, automatically locking the sliding block 321 without additional operation.

[0058] In one specific embodiment, the mounting platform 31 is further provided with a limiting groove 312, the limiting groove 312 being located on the side of the mounting platform 31 away from the sliding groove 311; the mounting bracket 32 ​​further includes a limiting member 322, the limiting member 322 being disposed adjacent to the sliding block 321, and the limiting member 322 being able to extend into or exit the limiting groove 312.

[0059] Specifically, the shape and size of the limiting groove 312 are adapted to the limiting member 322. The limiting groove 312 provides a receiving space for the limiting member 322, and forms an auxiliary limiting structure through its cooperation with the limiting member 322. The sliding limit of the limiting groove 312 and the sliding limit of the sliding groove 311 form a bidirectional constraint, which strengthens the connection between the mounting bracket 32 ​​and the mounting platform 31 from the other side of the mounting platform 31, and prevents the mounting bracket 32 ​​from tilting or shaking due to uneven force during use, thus protecting the mating structure between the sliding block 321 and the sliding groove 311.

[0060] In one specific embodiment, the mounting bracket 32 ​​has a mounting opening 323, which is used to install the flexible fastener 50.

[0061] Specifically, the flexible fastener 50 can be fixed to the mounting port 323 by sewing, binding, or pasting.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, the endoscope 10 further includes a display screen 111, which is disposed on the display surface 11 and electrically connected to the probe 20.

[0063] Specifically, the display screen 111, as the core component for image display, is used to present the images collected by the probe 20 to the operator in a visual manner. The display surface 11 is a dedicated area on the endoscope 10 body for mounting the display screen 111, ensuring that when the endoscope 10 is fixed to an external support, the operator's line of sight is adapted to the display surface 11, which is in line with ergonomic design.

[0064] By integrating the display screen 111 with the endoscope 10, reliance on external mobile phone displays is reduced.

[0065] In one specific embodiment, the endoscope 10 integrates a gyroscope sensor.

[0066] Specifically, the endoscope 10 integrates a gyroscope sensor, which monitors the attitude changes of the probe 20 in real time, including pitch, yaw, and roll angles, and transmits its output signals to the image processing unit. The image processing unit automatically corrects and stabilizes the acquired images based on the attitude data, achieving real-time adjustment and stabilization of the image orientation. This reduces image tilt, rotation, or jitter caused by hand tremors or probe 20 rotation, improving the readability and accuracy of the detected images.

[0067] Optionally, the image correction method includes, but is not limited to: electronic image stabilization (EIS), image rotation calibration, dynamic orientation correction, etc.

[0068] In automotive repair scenarios, the internal structure of a car engine is complex. The probe 20 needs to be bent or rotated to reach different cavities. The gyroscope can correct the image in real time, allowing operators to clearly observe the status of components such as pistons and valves, and avoid misjudging the direction of wear of parts due to image flipping.

[0069] In one specific embodiment, the fixing surface 12 is provided with a plurality of first fixing holes 12a, and the mounting platform 31 is provided with second fixing holes 31a corresponding to the plurality of first fixing holes 12a. The fastener passes through the corresponding first fixing holes 12a and second fixing holes 31a to fix the fixing surface 12 and the mounting platform 31.

[0070] Specifically, the fastener can be any type of screw or bolt for fixed connection. The mounting stage 31 and endoscope 10 are fixed by the fastener to ensure the stability of the connection.

[0071] Therefore, the aforementioned dual-lens industrial endoscope 100 with a detachable bracket or strap integrates a display surface 11 on the endoscope 10 body to replace an external mobile phone screen, and provides a component including a detachable mounting platform 31 and a mounting bracket 32 ​​on its back, i.e., the fixing surface 12. This allows the operator to conveniently fix the endoscope 10 body to their arm or an external support using the flexible fastener 50 on the mounting bracket 32. This allows the operator to hold and operate the probe 20 with only one hand to insert it into the inspection area, and observe the image directly by looking at the display surface 11 on the body, thus completely freeing up the other hand for auxiliary operation. It also significantly enhances equipment stability, avoids image shake and the risk of drops, and significantly improves the convenience of inspection operations.

[0072] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of this application, but these improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
