Description

A novel intelligent endoscope device and information processing method

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed on March 18, 2024, with application number 202410304851.9 and invention name: A new intelligent endoscopic device and information processing method. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to an endoscope device and an information processing method. Background Art

[0003] Endoscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool for natural cavity organs such as the respiratory system, digestive system, and urinary system, and is widely used to diagnose and treat diseases of these organs. With the development and advancement of intelligent systems, more and more intelligent systems are being used to assist endoscopic procedures. These intelligent systems are often installed on standalone computers. Therefore, when performing intelligent system-assisted endoscopic procedures, multiple people are often required to operate the endoscope and the intelligent assistance system, which greatly affects the convenience and synchronization of the operation.

[0004] On the other hand, endoscopes often have only one working channel and, correspondingly, only one channel entrance. Diagnostic and treatment instruments enter the working channel through the working channel entrance and thus enter the human cavity for operation. Once the diagnostic and treatment instruments enter the working channel, they occupy most of its space. If bleeding occurs during the operation, or the camera device is blurred by steam and mist, suction or flushing operations cannot be performed effectively. It is often necessary to pull out the diagnostic and treatment instruments before performing the above operations, which makes the operation more cumbersome and greatly extends the operation time.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a novel intelligent endoscope device and information processing method.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific implementation methods. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0039] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature identified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0040] The intelligent assistance system is the endoscope virtual navigation technology. It generates a corresponding virtual model through image and other data combined with the patient's actual situation, and plans an appropriate endoscope navigation path. During the operation of the endoscope, medical staff compare the navigation path in real time and reach the target tissue quickly and accurately, reducing the difficulty of endoscopic operation and improving the efficiency and success rate of the operation.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] A novel intelligent endoscope device as shown in FIG1-10 includes:

[0043] The control handle 1 includes a gripping end 11 and a control end 12; the gripping end 11 and the control end 12 are fixedly connected; a working port 6 is provided on the side wall of the control handle 1; the working port 6 is inserted into the interior of the control handle 1; a connection port 4 is provided on the side wall of the control end 12; the connection port 4 is connected to the control processor and an external computer with a built-in intelligent assistance system via a wire; the working port 6 includes a supply port 62; the control end 12 is provided with a suction port 63; one end of the suction port 63 is inserted into the interior of the control handle 1;

[0044] The insertion part 5 is inserted into the control handle 1 on the side of the holding end 11 away from the control end 12 and is connected to the working port 6; the end of the insertion part 5 away from the control handle 1 is provided with a balloon 52 and a flexible structure 56; the balloon 52 is arranged on the outside of the insertion part 5; the flexible structure 56 is arranged on the inside of the insertion part 5; the end of the insertion part 5 away from the control handle 1 is provided with an endoscopic camera; the endoscopic camera is connected to the image processor through the connecting port 4; a working channel is provided inside the insertion part 5; the supply port 62 and the suction port 63 are both connected to the working channel.

[0045] The control unit 2 is arranged on the outer wall of the control end 12; the control unit 2 controls the intelligent operation assistance system.

[0046] Taking airway surgery as an example, during the airway surgery, oxygen is injected into the working passage 511 through the supply port 62 to maintain the patient's oxygen intake; when bleeding occurs at the distal end of the insertion portion 5, suction or flushing operations cannot be effectively performed, and negative pressure is provided to the working passage 511 through the suction port 63 to suck out the blood; when the camera device is blurred by steam, water is injected into the working passage 511 through the supply port 62 to flush the camera device.

[0047] During surgery, one person inserts the endoscope through the working port 6 into the control handle 1, then inserts it into the patient along the insertion portion 5 and adjusts the endoscope's direction. With the other hand, they hold the control handle 1 and use the control structure control unit 2 to adjust the intelligent assistance system, enabling one person to simultaneously control both the endoscope and the intelligent assistance system. This improves the current practice of one person operating the endoscope while another operates the intelligent assistance system during endoscopic surgery, shortening surgical time and increasing work efficiency. It fundamentally solves the various problems caused by poor communication during collaborative surgery.

[0048] Specifically, the control unit 2 includes a plurality of buttons, specifically four direction keys (up, down, left, and right) and a confirmation key, to replace the direction keys on the computer keyboard to control the intelligent assistance system.

[0049] After pressing a single key or multiple keys, the control unit 2 sends a signal to the control processor, which then processes the signal and transmits it to the computer, thereby controlling the intelligent assistance system on the computer.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1-10, the insertion part 5 includes a balloon 52 and a sheath 53; the balloon 52 is arranged on the outside of the sheath 53; an injection tube 541 is arranged inside the sheath 53; one end of the injection tube 541 is connected to the sheath 53; a side hole adapted to the injection tube 541 is provided on the sheath 53, so that the injection tube 541 and the balloon 52 are connected. Part of the tube body of the injection tube 541 is located inside the sheath 53, ensuring that the injection tube 541 moves with the sheath 53 and does not hinder the sheath 53. The injection tube 541 and the part of the sheath 53 inserted into the control handle 1 extend outside the sheath 53 to prevent the injection tube 541 from being exposed to the outside, thereby reducing the chance of damage to the injection tube 541, thereby reducing the possibility of accidental contraction of the balloon 52 and ensuring the reliability of the fixation of the balloon 52.

[0051] When in use, the endoscope is inserted into the sheath tube 53, which drives the sheath tube 53 to move with the movement of the endoscope. When the distal end of the insertion portion 5 reaches the designated position, the balloon 52 is inflated to fix the posture of the sheath tube 53 and provide support for subsequent surgical operations.

[0052] A positioning end 13 is provided on the side wall of the control handle 1. The end of the injection tube 541, distal to the balloon 52, passes through the sheath 53, enters the interior of the control handle 1, and then extends out of the control handle 1 through the positioning end 13. The inflation of the balloon 52 can be controlled on the control handle 1. When the distal end of the insertion portion 5 reaches the designated position, the balloon 52 can be quickly inflated and secured in place.

[0053] Specifically, an injection end 54 is provided at one end of the injection tube 541 away from the balloon 52 ; the injection end 54 includes a valve to prevent the balloon 52 from accidentally shrinking and interfering with the surgical process.

[0054] As shown in FIG9 , the end of the sheath 53 away from the control handle 1 is a working end 51 ; a working passage 511 is provided at the center of the working end 51 , and the endoscope extends from the sheath 53 through the working passage 511 .

[0055] Preferably, the working end 51 is provided with a first mounting position 512 and a second mounting position 513. The first mounting position 512 is adapted for a camera, while the second mounting position 513 is adapted for a light source. The light source illuminates the space in front of the working end 51, providing lighting conditions for the camera to facilitate observation of the patient's internal bronchial conditions.

[0056] As shown in Figure 10, the flexible structure 56 is located between the balloon 52 and the control handle 1. The flexible structure 56 bends as the endoscope bends.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the flexible structure 56 is a snake-bone structure, which is pulled by at least four guide wires. The guide wires are arranged in a circular array inside the sheath 53. Pulling the guide wires can change the posture of the snake-bone structure and thus change the direction of the working end 51.

[0058] Pulling different guidewires can bend the serpentine structure in different directions. Pulling multiple guidewires simultaneously can cause the serpentine structure to bend in directions different from the guidewires, increasing the bending range of the serpentine structure. While pulling the guidewires, the control unit 2 controls the intelligent assistance system through the control structure to ensure information synchronization between the endoscope and the intelligent assistance system.

[0059] Furthermore, a catheter adapted for the guidewire is disposed within the sheath 53, with the catheter corresponding to the guidewire in a one-to-one relationship. The sidewall of the catheter is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sheath 53, and the guidewire slides freely within the catheter. This prevents the guidewires from becoming tangled or tangled with other components, which could result in loss of control over the snake structure.

[0060] Preferably, the same number of operating rods as the number of guide wires is set, and the operating rods are rotatably connected to the control handle 1. The operating rods correspond to the guide wires one by one, and by pulling the operating rods, the guide wires can be pulled or loosened, which is convenient for adjusting the posture of the snake bone structure.

[0061] As shown in Figure 1-10, the working port 6 also includes an operating port 61, a supply port 62, a relay port 64 and a fixed port 65; the operating port 61, the supply port 62, the relay port 64 and the fixed port 65 are interconnected; the fixed port 65 is connected to the sheath tube 53; the relay port 64 is connected to the suction port 63 through the suction tube 66.

[0062] Specifically, the operating port 61, supply port 62, relay port 64, and fixed port 65 form a four-way structure. Fixed port 65 is the port through which the four-way structure connects to the sheath tube 53. During use, surgical instruments are extended into the sheath tube 53 through the operating port 61; oxygen is supplied to the patient through the supply port 62 along the sheath tube 53. If the patient's bronchus is blocked, water can also be injected into the sheath tube 53 through the supply port 62 to flush the blockage; and negative pressure is applied to the sheath tube 53 through the suction port 63, along the suction tube 66, and relay port 64, achieving negative pressure suction.

[0063] Furthermore, an end of the sheath tube 53 away from the working end 51 is a connecting end 55 , and the connecting end 55 is adapted to the fixing port 65 .

[0064] The suction port 63 is located outside the control end 12. After the control end 12 is inserted into the control handle 1, one end of the suction port 63 is connected to the suction tube 66. The suction tube 66 is located inside the control handle 1 to connect the relay port 64 and the suction port 63. At the same time, the suction tube 66 is stored inside the control handle 1, making it easier for the user to hold the control handle 1.

[0065] Relay port 64 and fixed port 65 are located inside the control handle 1, securing fixed port 65 to sheath 53. Relay port 64 is connected to suction port 63 via suction tube 66. Operation port 61 and supply port 62 are located outside the control handle 1. Surgical instruments enter the patient's body through operation port 61 and sheath 53. During surgery, oxygen or water flushing is provided to the patient through operation port 61.

[0066] The usage of this embodiment:

[0067] 1. Ensure that the balloon 52 is deflated;

[0068] 2. Connection port 4 is connected to an external computer with a built-in intelligent assistance system through a wire;

[0069] 3. Turn on the external computer;

[0070] 4. Insert the sheath 53 into the patient's trachea;

[0071] Alternatively, 4. insert the endoscope through the working port 6 into the sheath 53, and then insert the sheath 53 into the patient's trachea;

[0072] 5. While adjusting the direction of the working end 51, the control structure control unit 2 sheath 53 controls the movement of the intelligent assistance system to keep the endoscope and the intelligent assistance system synchronized.

[0073] 6. After the working end 51 reaches the designated position, the balloon 52 is inflated. The inflated balloon 52 blocks the inner wall of the bronchus, and the working end 51 is fixed inside the bronchus;

[0074] 7. Deliver surgical instruments to the target location through the working passage 511 and the sheath 53 to perform surgery, while simultaneously delivering gas or liquid to the distal end of the hollow organ through the supply port 62 and the sheath 53;

[0075] 8. After the operation, the balloon 52 is deflated and the control handle 1 is pulled outward to withdraw the sheath 53 from the patient's hollow organ.

[0076] Example 2

[0077] As shown in FIG1-12 , an information processing method for a novel intelligent endoscope device includes:

[0078] Step 1: The endoscopic camera captures images of the interior of a human body's hollow organs, converts the images into image signals, and transmits them to an image processor. The image processor processes the image signals and transmits the resulting endoscopic images to a display device, which receives and displays the endoscopic images.

[0079] Step 2: Control unit 2 outputs a control signal to the control processor; the control processor receives and processes the control signal, generates control information, and transmits the control information to an external computer with a built-in intelligent assistance system; the external computer receives the control information and inputs the control information into the intelligent assistance system; the intelligent assistance system responds accordingly based on the control information and provides feedback through text, images, videos, etc., to assist doctors in performing relevant endoscopic operations.

[0080] Specifically, the path information is generated by pressing a single key or by combining multiple keys.

[0081] For example, when a single button is used to generate a turning path, the electrical signal transmitted by the button is obtained, the rotation direction is determined based on the received electrical signal, the rotation angle is obtained based on the duration of the electrical signal, and the rotation direction and rotation angle are combined to generate a turning path.

[0082] When multiple buttons are used to generate a steering path, an electrical signal transmitted by a first button is obtained, a first rotation direction is determined based on the received electrical signal, a first movement angle of the endoscope is determined based on the duration of the electrical signal, and the first rotation direction and the first rotation angle are combined to generate a first rotation path. An electrical signal transmitted by a second button is obtained, a second rotation direction is determined based on the received electrical signal, a second movement angle of the endoscope is determined based on the duration of the electrical signal, and the second rotation direction and the second rotation angle are combined to generate a second rotation path. The first rotation path and the second rotation path are combined to generate a final rotation path.

[0083] During surgery, the intelligent assistance system is adjusted by control unit 2, referencing the endoscopic image to ensure consistency. This allows a single operator to simultaneously control both the endoscope's movement and the intelligent assistance system. This improves the current two-person collaboration system for endoscopic surgery, shortening surgery time and increasing efficiency. It fundamentally resolves the numerous issues that arise from poor communication during two-person collaborative surgery.

[0084] During the operation, the doctor can determine the position, posture, camera image and other information of the distal end of the endoscope through the image generated by the intelligent assistance system on the display device, and can determine various information of the current endoscope based on the endoscopic image on the display device and the intelligent assistance system screen.

[0085] Throughout this specification, reference to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," and "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0086] The embodiments described in this application are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments.
