Endoscope Suction Valve Fixation via Half-Shell Segmentation

The housing is divided into two separate half-shells that can be assembled together. The suction valve is mounted on one half-shell and secured through a simplified fixation mechanism that involves the other half-shell, eliminating the need for gluing while maintaining secure fixation.

The fixation function is integrated into the half-shell assembly structure itself. The geometric interlocking of the two half-shells provides the fixation mechanism, combining the housing and fixation functions into a single integrated assembly process without requiring additional gluing steps.

The mounting structure is segmented into simple geometric features on the half-shells rather than requiring complex integrated geometries. The suction valve uses basic mounting elements that can be easily manufactured and assembled through the half-shell configuration.

The half-shells are designed with asymmetric geometric features that provide secure positioning of the suction valve through simple interlocking shapes. This asymmetry achieves reliable positioning without requiring complex symmetric geometries, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.

The stable fixation is achieved by segmenting the housing into two half-shells that interlock together. The suction valve is mounted on one half-shell and secured through the mechanical connection of the halves, providing stability through a simple two-piece assembly rather than a complex multi-step process.

The half-shell assembly provides self-service fixation through its own geometric interlocking features. The design inherently provides the fixation function without requiring additional components, tools, or complex assembly procedures, making the stable fixation both simple and self-contained.
