Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 6 and 7, the invention discloses an endoscope, which comprises a snake bone 200, a lens bracket 9 and a fixing bracket, wherein the lens bracket 9 and the fixing bracket are respectively arranged at one end and the other end of the snake bone 200, the lens bracket 9 is connected to the convex part 2 of the first snake bone unit 100, a camera is arranged on the lens bracket 9, the fixing bracket is connected to the concave part 3 of the last snake bone unit 100, a traction steel wire penetrates through the steel wire hole 4, and one end of the traction steel wire is connected with the lens bracket 9.
Referring to fig. 5 again, the invention also discloses a snake bone, which comprises at least two snake bone units 100 connected end to end in sequence, wherein the concave part 3 of the first snake bone unit 100 is clamped with the convex part 2 of the adjacent snake bone unit 100, the convex part 2 of the last snake bone unit 100 is clamped with the concave part 3 of the adjacent snake bone unit, the convex part 2 and the concave part 3 of each snake bone unit 100 between the first snake bone unit 100 and the last snake bone unit 100 are respectively clamped with the concave part 3 and the convex part 2 of the adjacent different snake bone units 100, and the adjacent two snake bone units 100 can rotate relatively.
Further, the present invention also discloses a method for controlling the rotation of the endoscope, which defines the rotation direction of the lens holder 9 by the direction of the snake bone 200 in the linear state, specifically, the longitudinal direction of the snake bone 200, that is, two extending directions of the axial direction are respectively the front and back directions, the direction of the end of the snake bone 200 where the lens holder 9 is installed is the front direction, the direction of the end of the snake bone 200 where the fixing holder is installed is the back direction, four mutually perpendicular directions of the snake bone 200 in the radial direction are respectively the up and down and left and right directions, the end of the snake bone 200 where the lens holder 9 is installed is the head of the snake bone 200, and the end of the snake bone 200 where the fixing holder is installed is the tail of the snake bone 200, and the specific control method is as follows:
when one of the traction steel wires of the snake bone 200 is pulled and the other traction steel wires are loosened, the lens support 9 drives one end of the snake bone 200 to bend towards the direction of the pulled traction steel wire; that is, when one end of the fixing bracket pulls the traction wire in a certain direction, the snake bone 200 is bent in a corresponding direction. For example, when the left traction wire is pulled and other traction wires are loosened, the lens holder 9 drives the first snake bone unit 100 to incline to the left by a predetermined angle, and the first snake bone unit 100 drives the second snake bone unit 100 to incline to the left, so that all the snake bone units 100 incline to the left in sequence, and the head of the snake bone 200 bends to the left, thereby realizing the function that the camera rotates to the left; similarly, when the right traction steel wire is pulled and other traction steel wires are loosened, the camera rotates rightwards; when the upper traction steel wire is pulled and other traction steel wires are loosened, the camera rotates upwards; when the lower traction steel wire is pulled and other traction steel wires are loosened, the camera rotates downwards.
When two adjacent traction steel wires of the snake bone 200 are pulled and the other two traction steel wires are loosened, the lens holder 9 drives one end of the snake bone 200 to bend towards the area between the two adjacent traction steel wires. For example, when the left and upper traction wires are pulled simultaneously and other traction wires are loosened, the lens holder 9 drives a part of the snake bone unit 100 to incline to the left by a certain angle and drives another part of the snake bone unit 100 to incline to the upper by a certain angle, so that the head of the snake bone 200 bends to the left and the upper, and the camera rotates to the left and the upper; similarly, when the left traction steel wire and the lower traction steel wire are pulled simultaneously and other traction steel wires are loosened, the camera rotates towards the left lower part; when the traction steel wires on the right and the upper sides are pulled simultaneously and other traction steel wires are loosened, the camera rotates to the right and the upper side; when the traction steel wires at the right and lower sides are pulled simultaneously and other traction steel wires are loosened, the camera rotates towards the lower right.
When one of the traction wires of the snake bone 200 is tensioned, and the end of the snake bone 200, on which the lens holder 9 is mounted, is bent in the direction of the tensioned traction wire, the tensioned traction wire is loosened, and the traction wire opposite to the tensioned traction wire is pulled, so that the lens holder 9 drives the snake bone 200 to be bent in the direction of the opposite traction wire. For example, when the left traction wire is tightened and the head of the snake bone 200 is bent to the left, if it is desired to bend the head of the snake bone 200 to the right, the left traction wire is loosened, and then the right traction wire is pulled, so that the lens holder 9 drives the first snake bone unit 100 to tilt to the right by a predetermined angle, and the first snake bone unit 100 drives the second snake bone unit 100 to tilt to the right, and thus, all the snake bone units 100 tilt to the right in sequence, and during this operation, the head of the snake bone 200 moves from the state of being bent to the left to the state of being restored to a straight line, and then moves to the state of being bent to the right, thereby realizing the function of rotating the camera head from the left to the right. Similarly, when the right traction steel wire is tensioned and the head of the snake bone 200 is bent to the right, the right traction steel wire is loosened, the left traction steel wire is pulled, and the camera rotates from the right to the left; when the upper traction steel wire is tensioned and the head of the snake bone 200 is bent upwards, the upper traction steel wire is loosened, the lower traction steel wire is pulled, and the camera rotates from the upper part to the lower part; when the lower traction steel wire is tensioned and the head of the snake bone 200 is bent downwards, the lower traction steel wire is loosened, the upper traction steel wire is pulled, and the camera rotates upwards from the lower direction; the rotation control in other directions is the same as the above.
When one of the traction steel wires of the snake bone 200 is tensioned, and one end of the snake bone 200, on which the lens support 9 is mounted, is bent towards the direction of the tensioned traction steel wire, the tensioned traction steel wire is fixed, and any traction steel wire adjacent to the tensioned traction steel wire is pulled, so that the lens support 9 drives the snake bone 200 to rotate towards the direction of the adjacent traction steel wire by taking the length direction of the snake bone 200 in a linear state as a central rotating shaft. For example, when the left traction wire is tightened and the head of the snake bone 200 is bent to the left, if the head of the snake bone 200 is bent to the left, the left traction wire is fixed, and then the upper traction wire is pulled, the tail of the snake bone 200 is fixed, the lens holder 9 drives one of the snake bone units 100 close to the snake bone 200 to tilt upward by a predetermined angle, so that the head of the snake bone 200 rotates upward around the length direction of the snake bone 200 in a straight line state, and in the operation process, the head of the snake bone 200 is always in a bent state, that is, the head of the snake bone 200 in the bent state sweeps a sector area, and the camera rotates upward from the left. Similarly, when the right traction steel wire is tensioned and the head of the snake bone 200 is bent to the right, the right traction steel wire is fixed, and then the upper traction steel wire is pulled, so that the camera rotates from the right; when the lower traction steel wire is tensioned and the head of the snake bone 200 is bent downwards, the lower traction steel wire is fixed, and then the left traction steel wire is pulled, so that the camera rotates from the lower direction to the left direction; when the lower traction steel wire is tensioned and the head of the snake bone 200 is bent downwards, the lower traction steel wire is fixed, and then the right traction steel wire is pulled, so that the camera rotates from the lower direction to the right; the rotation control in other directions is the same as the above.
Thus, by using the control method of the endoscope rotation, various control modes are mutually combined and matched, the head of the snake bone 200 can realize the rotation in the all-round full-angle range, namely, the camera can realize the rotation in the all-round full-angle range.
