[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an endoscope protection device, which is mounted on an endoscope 1. The endoscope 1 enters the body through natural cavities or a small incision, and acquires internal images with the help of a probe 13 to achieve disease diagnosis and treatment. The endoscope 1 includes a handle 11, and a connecting rod 12 is provided on the handle 11. The connecting rod 12 is used to support the connecting mechanism 3 and the protection mechanism 4. A probe 13 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 12. The probe 13 is used to acquire internal images of the patient's body, including:

[0027] A connecting mechanism 3 is mounted on the endoscope 1. The connecting mechanism 3 is used to connect the inflation mechanism 2 and the protection mechanism 4. The connecting mechanism 3 includes a connector 31 for connecting to the endoscope 1. The connector 31 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 12, so that the trachea 32 is fitted against the outside of the connecting rod 12, ensuring that the trachea 32 will not be disengaged from the control of the connecting rod 12 when the probe 13 enters the patient's body. The connector 31 contains the trachea 32, which is used to deliver the air pushed in the inflation mechanism 2 to the protection mechanism 4. One end of the trachea 32 is connected to one end of the inflation mechanism 2, and the other end of the trachea 32 is connected to the first connecting hole 42, and is exposed in the space between the snap plate 47 and the partition 48 to ensure that the airflow can enter the protection mechanism 4.

[0028] The connector 31 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 12, so that the connecting mechanism 3 is stably mounted on the endoscope 1. At the same time, the connector 31 fits and fixes the trachea 32 to the outside of the connecting rod 12, preventing the trachea 32 from being detached from the control of the connecting rod 12 when the probe 13 enters the patient's body. One end of the trachea 32 is connected to the inflation mechanism 2, and the other end is connected to the first connecting hole 42, and is exposed in the space between the snap plate 47 and the partition 48, so as to stably deliver the air pushed by the inflation mechanism 2 to the protection mechanism 4, realizing the communication and airflow transmission between the inflation mechanism 2 and the protection mechanism 4.

[0029] The inflation mechanism 2 is located at one end of the connecting mechanism 3. The inflation mechanism 2 has a connection port 21 for connecting to an external inflation component. The connection port 21 is made of rubber and is used to tightly wrap the air outlet of the external inflation component to ensure that there is no air leakage during use. The inflation mechanism 2 also has a vent 22. After the device is used, the vent 22 is opened to release air. The vent 22 is equipped with a sealing plug to seal the vent 22. The vent 22 can also adjust the inflation size of the protective airbag 43. When a large amount of air needs to be inflated, the protective airbag 43 can be inflated to the maximum. When a smaller amount of air needs to be released, the sealing plug on the vent 22 can be adjusted to release an appropriate amount of air. The sealing plug and the vent 22 are connected by threads.

[0030] The device connects to an external inflation component via connector 21. Since connector 21 is made of rubber, it can tightly wrap around the air outlet of the external inflation component, ensuring that there is no air leakage during inflation. When inflating, if the protective airbag 43 needs to be inflated to its maximum size, air can be continuously supplied through the external inflation component. If the inflation size of the protective airbag 43 needs to be reduced, the sealing plug on the vent 22 can be rotated. The two are threadedly connected, and the adjustment can be achieved by releasing an appropriate amount of air. After the device is used, the sealing plug on the vent 22 can be opened to complete the deflation. The sealing plug blocks the vent 22 in the non-deflation and non-adjustment state.

[0031] The protective mechanism 4 is located on the endoscope 1. The connecting mechanism 3 connects the inflation mechanism 2 and the protective mechanism 4. The inflation mechanism 2 is used to inflate the protective mechanism 4. The protective mechanism 4 includes protective airbags 43. The protective airbags 43 expand after being inflated by the inflation mechanism 2. There are eight protective airbags 43 arranged in a circular array on the outside of the protective mechanism 4 to provide comprehensive protection for the probe 13 and the endoscope 1. The protective mechanism 4 is connected to the connecting rod 12, and the probe 13 passes through the protective mechanism 4.

[0032] The protective mechanism 4 is connected to the connecting rod 12 and is mounted on the endoscope 1. The probe 13 passes through the protective mechanism 4. The connecting mechanism 3 connects the inflation mechanism 2 to the protective mechanism 4, so that the inflation mechanism 2 can inflate the protective mechanism 4. The gas entering the protective mechanism 4 causes the protective airbags 43 to expand. Since the eight protective airbags 43 are arranged in a circular array on the outside of the protective mechanism 4, they can form a complete protective enclosure for the probe 13 that passes through it, thereby protecting the endoscope 1.

[0033] The protective mechanism 4 also includes a housing 41 connected to the endoscope 1. The housing 41 is used to connect the remaining structures in the protective mechanism 4. The housing 41 has a first connection hole 42 for connecting to the connecting mechanism 3. The first connection hole 42 is used to connect to the trachea 32, thereby ensuring that airflow can enter the protective mechanism 4. The protective airbag 43 also has a second connection hole 44 for connecting to the endoscope 1. The second connection hole 44 is used to connect to the connecting rod 12, ensuring that the protective mechanism 4 can be paused by the probe 13. The protective mechanism 4 also includes a limiting plate 45 provided on the housing 41. The limiting plate 45 is arc-shaped on the side near the protective airbag 43, which is used to change the inflation direction of the protective airbag 43, ensuring that the protective airbag 43 faces the probe 13. The collision direction is determined by the limiting plate 45, which is used to change the expansion direction of the protective airbag 43. The housing 41 is provided with a snap-fit ​​plate 47 and a partition plate 48. Both the snap-fit ​​plate 47 and the partition plate 48 are provided with a second connecting hole 44. The snap-fit ​​plate 47 and the partition plate 48 are used to further fix the connecting rod 12. The vent hole on the connecting rod 12 is used to inflate the protective airbag 43. The partition plate 48 is provided with a vent plate 481 to ensure that the airflow can act on the protective airbag 43. The second connecting hole 44 is provided with a connecting plate 46. The connecting plate 46 is used to fix the protective airbag 43 and to connect the protective airbag 43. There are at least two protective airbags 43. All the protective airbags 43 are arranged in a ring array on the housing 41.

[0034] When the endoscope protection device is in use, the housing 41 serves as the basic structure connecting the other components. Its first connection hole 42 is connected to the air tube 32, allowing the airflow from the inflation mechanism 2 to enter the protection mechanism 4. The snap-fit ​​plate 47 and the partition plate 48 further fix the connecting rod 12 through the second connection hole 44 on them. At the same time, the vent plate 481 on the partition plate 48 ensures that the airflow can smoothly act on the protective airbag 43. The connecting plate 46 provided in the second connection hole 44 fixes the protective airbag 43, so that at least two protective airbags 43 arranged in a ring array on the housing 41 are stable in position. The second connection hole 44 on the protective airbag 43 is connected to the connecting rod 12, and works with the probe 13 to penetrate the structure of the protection mechanism 4, ensuring accurate protection position. The limiting plate 45 on the housing 41 is arc-shaped on the side near the protective airbag 43, which can change the expansion direction of the protective airbag 43, causing it to expand towards the probe 13, ultimately achieving comprehensive protection for the endoscope 1.

[0035] When the endoscope protection device is used, each mechanism is assembled on the connecting rod 12 of the endoscope 1: the connecting part 31 of the connecting mechanism 3 is fixed on the outside of the connecting rod 12 to fix the trachea 32 to prevent the trachea 32 from being out of control when the probe 13 enters the body; the housing 41 of the protection mechanism 4 connects the other components, the snap plate 47 and the partition plate 48 further fix the connecting rod 12 through the second connecting hole 44, the connecting plate 46 in the second connecting hole 44 fixes at least two protective airbags 43 arranged in a ring array on the housing 41, and the protective airbags 43 are connected to the connecting rod 12 through their own second connecting hole 44, and the probe 13 penetrates the protection mechanism 4.

[0036] During inflation, the external inflation component is connected through the rubber connection port 21 of the inflation mechanism 2. The connection port 21 tightly wraps around the air outlet of the inflation component to prevent air leakage. The gas is delivered through the air pipe 32. One end of the air pipe 32 is connected to the inflation mechanism 2, and the other end is connected to the first connection hole 42 of the housing 41. It is exposed in the space between the snap plate 47 and the partition 48, and then acts on the protective airbag 43 through the vent plate 481 of the partition 48. The arc-shaped limiting plate 45 on the housing 41 changes the expansion direction of the protective airbag 43, causing it to expand toward the probe 13, forming a surrounding protection.

[0037] When the inflation size of the protective airbag 43 needs to be adjusted, rotate the threaded sealing plug on the vent 22 to release the air; after use, open the sealing plug and release the air through the vent 22 to complete the entire operation process.
