Detailed Description
The following description provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different features of the invention. The particular examples set forth below are illustrative only and are not intended to be limiting.
In the prior art, a conventional endoscope includes an operation portion (also referred to as a handle) and an insertion portion. The handle part is used for controlling the insertion part to enter a human body. Wherein, the inserting part can be divided into a module section, a snake bone section, a passive bending section and the like. Two (or four) steel wire ropes are arranged in the snake bone section in a penetrating manner, the steel wire ropes are connected with a rotating wheel of the handle part, one of the steel wire ropes can be tightened up through the rotation of the rotating wheel, and the other steel wire rope is loosened, so that the snake bone section of the endoscope rotates towards one side where the steel wire ropes are tightened up; changing the rotation direction of the runner can make the snake bone segments rotate towards the opposite direction.
It can be seen that the manner of controlling the bending of the snake bone segment by the steel wire rope can only realize the rotation of the snake bone segment to a limited direction (only to the left or the right). For some parts with more complicated human tissue structures, such as intestinal tracts, the internal bent structure of the part is complicated, and S-shaped or more complicated bent parts often exist. The single bending form of the insertion part of the endoscope in the prior art can not adapt to the internal environment of the human body well, and can not enter parts with complex bending structures in the human body smoothly, so that the endoscope can cause bad experience to patients if entering the parts by force, and even damage to the bodies of the patients. Meanwhile, holes for the steel wire ropes to penetrate through are required to be formed in the inner wall of the snake bone unit, so that the required manufacturing process is complex, and the production cost is high.
In view of the above, an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, provides a snake bone unit 1, wherein the snake bone unit 1 comprises a snake bone unit body 11, the snake bone unit body 11 is tubular, the snake bone unit body 11 is provided with two lugs 12 along a first radial direction, and the two lugs 12 are used for connecting with another snake bone unit 1; an accommodating cavity 13 is arranged between the two lugs 12 on the snake bone unit body 11, and the accommodating cavity 13 is used for accommodating the magnetic body 33.
In the above-described embodiment, the first radial direction refers to a radial direction in which the two lugs 12 are located on one side end surface of the snake bone unit 1.
Compared with the prior art, because the snake bone unit 1 in the scheme does not need to additionally process the through hole for penetrating through the steel wire rope on the inner wall of the snake bone unit, the snake bone unit can be manufactured in an integrally forming mode, and the processing process is simple.
Meanwhile, the snake bone unit 1 in the scheme does not comprise a steel wire rope penetrating structure. That is, unlike the prior art in which the snake bone units 1 are driven to rotate by the wire rope, in this embodiment, the relative rotation between two adjacent snake bone units 1 is realized by attraction or repulsion of the magnetic bodies 33 of the two adjacent snake bone units 1. The advantage of this kind of driving method is that, through controlling the magnetism of the magnet 33 in the containing cavity 13 of two adjacent snake bone units 1, the snake bone structure can be bent along multiple directions, and can better adapt to the practical application requirement.
Preferably, the snake bone unit 1 is made of non-conductive materials; preferably, the shape of the accommodating chamber 13 is adapted to the shape of the magnetic body 33.
In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the accommodating chamber 13 includes a first accommodating chamber 131 and a second accommodating chamber 132 extending axially along the snake bone unit body 11; the first accommodating cavity 131 and the second accommodating cavity 132 are respectively located at two ends of the snake bone unit body 11 along the second radial direction; the second radial direction is perpendicular to the first radial direction.
In the above solution, the two ends of the snake bone unit body 11 along the second radial direction are both provided with the accommodating cavities 13, that is, the first accommodating cavity 131 and the second accommodating cavity 132, and preferably, the first accommodating cavity 131 and the second accommodating cavity 132 are symmetrically arranged by taking the first radial direction of the snake bone unit body 11 as a symmetry axis.
As shown in fig. 7, when the relative rotation between two adjacent snake bone units 1 is realized, the facing surfaces of the magnetic bodies 33 in the two first accommodating cavities 131 of the two adjacent snake bone units 1 may be set to repel each other, and the magnetism of the facing surfaces of the magnetic bodies 33 in the two second accommodating cavities 132 may be set to be opposite. Therefore, the magnetic force required by the rotation of one snake bone unit 1 relative to the other snake bone unit 1 can be increased, so that the snake bone unit 1 is driven to rotate to a preset angle by the suction force or the repulsive force provided by the two groups of magnetic bodies 33, and the situation that the snake bone unit 1 cannot rotate to the preset angle due to insufficient magnetic force of the magnetic bodies 33 in one accommodating cavity 13 is avoided.
Further, the first accommodating cavity 131 and the second accommodating cavity 132 are disposed on the outer wall of the snake bone unit body 11, and the first accommodating cavity 131 and the second accommodating cavity 132 are both communicated with two end faces of the snake bone unit 1.
In the related art, a camera module and an illumination module are provided at a distal end portion of an insertion portion of an endoscope, and are connected to a handle portion through an image signal transmission line and an electric signal transmission line. Therefore, during the use of the endoscope, the image signal transmission line and the electric signal transmission line in the insertion portion of the endoscope are in an energized state, and the image signal transmission line and the electric signal transmission line in the energized state generate an interfering magnetic field.
In the above configuration, the magnetic body 33 is provided on the outer wall of the snake bone unit body 11, thereby reducing the influence of the interference magnetic field on the magnetic body in the first accommodation chamber 131/the second accommodation chamber 132. Further, a shielding film may be disposed on the inner wall of the snake bone unit body 11 to further isolate the influence of the interference magnetic field.
Further, in order to ensure that the magnetic force between the two magnetic bodies 33 in the accommodating cavities 13 of the two adjacent snake bone units 1 is not affected by other components (for example, when other structures are included between the two magnetic bodies 33, the attraction force between the two magnetic bodies 33 is insufficient), preferably, the first accommodating cavity 131 and the second accommodating cavity 132 are both communicated with two end surfaces of the snake bone unit 1; so that the opposite faces of the magnetic bodies 33 on the adjacent two snake bone units 1 are directly opposite.
In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the accommodating chamber 13 includes a third accommodating chamber 133, a fourth accommodating chamber 134, a fifth accommodating chamber 135 and a sixth accommodating chamber 136;
the third accommodating cavity 133 and the fourth accommodating cavity 134 are located at one end of the snake bone unit body 11 along the second radial direction, the third accommodating cavity 133 is communicated with one side end face of the snake bone unit body 11, and the fourth accommodating cavity 134 is communicated with the other side end face of the snake bone unit body 11;
the fifth accommodating cavity 135 and the sixth accommodating cavity 136 are located at the other end of the snake bone unit body 11 along the second radial direction, the fifth accommodating cavity 135 is communicated with one end surface of the snake bone unit body 11, and the sixth accommodating cavity 136 is communicated with the other end surface of the snake bone unit body 11;
the second radial direction is perpendicular to the first radial direction.
In the above-described embodiment, another embodiment of the accommodating chamber 13 provided in the snake bone unit 1 is shown. That is, two accommodating cavities (one end is the third accommodating cavity 133 and the fourth accommodating cavity 134, and the other end is the fifth accommodating cavity 135 and the sixth accommodating cavity 136) are respectively arranged at two ends of the snake bone unit 1 in the second radial direction, and the two accommodating cavities are respectively located at two end faces of the snake bone unit body 11. Compare in the scheme that only set up one at the one end of second radial unit and hold the chamber, the magnetism of 1 both ends face of snake bone unit can only be opposite magnetism, and this kind of advantage that sets up two holding chambers in the one end of second radial direction in this scheme is that this scheme can realize the independence of 1 both ends magnetism of each snake bone unit. That is, the magnetism at both ends of a certain snake bone unit 1 (substantially, the magnetism on the end face side of the magnetic body 33 at both ends of the snake bone unit 1 close to the snake bone unit 1) may be N-pole at the same time, S-pole at the same time, or N-pole at one end and S-pole at the other end. Therefore, the snake bone composed of the snake bone units 1 can realize a bending form with a more complex shape.
In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the accommodating chamber 13 includes a seventh accommodating chamber 137, an eighth accommodating chamber 138, a ninth accommodating chamber 139 and a tenth accommodating chamber 1310;
the seventh accommodating cavity 137 and the tenth accommodating cavity 1310 are respectively located at two ends of the snake bone unit body 11 in the third radial direction; the eighth accommodating cavity 138 and the ninth accommodating cavity 139 are respectively located at two ends of the snake bone unit body 11 along the fourth radial direction; the second radial direction is perpendicular to the first radial direction, and the third radial direction and the fourth radial direction are symmetrical with respect to the second radial direction.
In the above-described embodiment, another embodiment of the accommodating chamber 11 provided in the snake bone unit 1 is shown. Namely, two accommodating cavities (namely, a seventh accommodating cavity 137 and a tenth accommodating cavity 1310) are arranged on the upper sides of the two lugs 12 of the snake bone unit 1, the two accommodating cavities are symmetrical relative to the second radial direction (for example, the seventh accommodating cavity 137 forms an angle of 120 degrees with the first radial direction, and the tenth accommodating cavity 1310 forms an angle of 60 degrees with the first radial direction), two accommodating cavities (for example, an eighth accommodating cavity 138 and a ninth accommodating cavity 139) are arranged on the lower sides of the two lugs 12 of the snake bone unit 1, and the two accommodating cavities are symmetrical relative to the second radial direction (for example, the seventh accommodating cavity 137 forms an angle of-120 degrees with the first radial direction, and the tenth accommodating cavity 1310 forms an angle of-60 degrees with the first radial direction).
According to the scheme, the two accommodating cavities are respectively arranged on the two sides of the two lugs 12 of the snake bone unit 1, so that the suction force or the repulsive force provided by the four groups of magnetic bodies 33 drives the two adjacent snake bone units 1 to rotate relatively, the magnetic force required by one snake bone unit 1 to rotate relative to the other snake bone unit 1 can be increased, the snake bone unit 1 can be ensured to rotate to a preset angle, and the situation that the snake bone unit 1 cannot rotate to the preset angle due to the fact that one accommodating strong magnetic body 33 is insufficient in magnetic force is avoided.
In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4 to 7, a snake bone 2 is provided, wherein the snake bone 2 comprises a plurality of snake bone units 1 connected end to end in sequence, and two adjacent snake bone units 1 can rotate relatively.
Compared with the prior art, the snake bone unit 1 is driven to rotate by the steel wire rope, the snake bone 2 in the scheme drives the two snake bone units 1 to rotate relatively by the magnetic force of the magnetic bodies 33 in the accommodating cavities 13 of the two adjacent snake bone units 1. The snake bone 2 of the present embodiment can present a more complex curved shape.
In another embodiment of the present invention, an endoscope 3 is provided, the endoscope 3 includes a handle portion 31 and an insertion portion 32, the insertion portion 32 is provided with the aforementioned snake bone 2, a magnetic body 33 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 13 of each snake bone unit 1, and the magnetic body 33 is a variable polarity magnetic body.
In the above-mentioned embodiment, the snake bone 2 in the endoscope 3 is provided, and the relative rotation of the two snake bone units 1 is driven by the magnetic force of the magnetic body 33 in the accommodating cavities 13 of the two adjacent snake bone units 1, so that the snake bone 2 can present a more complicated bending form. Therefore, when the endoscope 3 is used, the endoscope can enter the focus position of a patient more smoothly, pain of the patient is reduced, and experience of the patient is improved.
Further, the handle portion 31 is provided with a control assembly (not shown), the magnetic bodies 33 are electromagnets, and each of the magnetic bodies 33 is electrically connected to the control assembly.
In the above solution, a specific embodiment of the magnetic body 33 is given, that is, the magnetic body 33 is an electromagnet, all the magnetic bodies 33 on the snake bone unit 1 are electrically connected to a control component arranged in the handle 31 through a lead, and the magnetism at two ends of the electromagnet is changed by changing the direction of current in each electromagnet on the snake bone unit 1, so that two adjacent magnetic bodies 33 of two adjacent snake bone units 1 attract or repel each other, and finally the change of the bending angle of the snake bone unit 1 is realized.
Further, the magnetic body 33 and the accommodating cavity 13 are in interference fit.
In the above scheme, the magnetic body 33 and the accommodating cavity 13 are in interference fit, so that the magnetic body 33 can be fixed in the accommodating cavity 13 after being installed in the accommodating cavity 13.
In another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a bending control method of the aforementioned endoscope 3, which controls the rotation of the snake bone unit 1 by changing the magnetism of the opposing faces of the adjacent magnetic bodies 33,
