Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a device for holding an endoscope for observing and recording deep inside the abdominal cavity.

[Conventional technology]

The conventional endoscope has an endoscope 1 as shown in FIG.
00 into the patient, and the eyepiece part 1 of the endoscope 100.
A doctor had been observing him since 01.

[Problem to be solved]

With such conventional means, the doctor must hold the endoscope 100 and direct its tip toward the desired affected area, and when the doctor holds the endoscope in place with one hand, Various operations could only be performed with one hand. Therefore, various devices have been developed to hold an endoscope inserted into a patient at a predetermined position. Two methods have been considered: fixing the endoscope 100 in advance and inserting it into the patient's body after fixing the endoscope 100 to a holding device. In either of these two methods,
There are two methods: observing from the eyepiece 101 and observing by projecting it on a display. Endoscope 1 in advance
In the method of inserting the endoscope 100 into the patient's body after fixing the endoscope 00 to a holding device, when it becomes necessary to adjust the held endoscope 100 in a horizontal plane, the internal There was a drawback that the insertion direction of the endoscope 100 changed.

Therefore, this idea was developed to adjust the endoscope in a horizontal plane without changing the insertion direction in a method in which the endoscope is fixed in a holding device in advance and inserted into the patient (in this case, it is displayed on the display). An object of the present invention is to provide an endoscope holding device that can be easily used.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, this invention connects the arm side on which the holder part holding the endoscope is attached to the column side with a link mechanism, and connects the link mechanism with a mounting member provided on the arm and the column, respectively. The structure consists of two links that are rotatably attached at both ends so that they are parallel on a horizontal plane, so that the endoscope can maintain the same height and be parallel without changing the direction of the tip of the endoscope. It is configured to move.

[Effect]

In this invention, when attempting to adjust the endoscope in a horizontal plane after holding the endoscope in the holder, the link mechanism restricts this movement by moving the arm side to which the holder is attached. , the endoscope moves in parallel without changing its insertion direction, and at this time, the direction of the distal end of the endoscope, that is, the surface through which the affected area inserted into the human body is observed, also does not change.

〔Example〕

Preferred embodiments of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, an endoscope 1 is held in a holder section 2, and images observed with the endoscope 1 are sent to a control section 3 and displayed on a display 4. The holder part 2 has a mounting member 6 attached to the arm 5.
It is attached via. This arm 5 is connected to the support column 7 via a link mechanism 8. Pillar 7
A vertical arm 7' is inserted so as to be able to slide up and down, and a link mechanism 8 is attached to the upper end of this vertical arm 7'.
A mounting member 9 for mounting is fixedly attached. A mounting member 10 for mounting the link mechanism 8 is also fixed to the upper end of the arm 5. The link mechanism 8 is 2
Book links 8A and 8B are provided in parallel, and each end is rotatably attached to attachment members 9 and 10. When adjusting the endoscope 1 attached to the holder part 2 within a horizontal plane, by moving the arm 5, the endoscope 1 is regulated to move within the horizontal plane by the link mechanism 8, and the insertion direction is moved in parallel. I will do it. When the endoscope 1 is on a plane parallel to the vertical plane including both longitudinal sides of the bed B, the endoscope 1
moves parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bet B.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is similar to FIG. 1 except that the configuration of the arm 5 is different. Second
The figure shows the movement of the holder part 2 to which the endoscope 1 is attached via the link mechanism 8, and shows that the axis of the arm 5 remains parallel even if it moves. Figure 3 shows
Details of the holder part 2 are shown. A mounting member 6 is fixed to the arm 5 with a locking tool 12.
A holder part 2 is fixed to the holder. The holder part 2 has a hinge 2 on the holder main body 2A so that the lid body 2B can be opened and closed.
It is attached at C, and the lid body 2B is attached to the holder body 2A.
It is designed to be installed with 2D screws. Endoscope 1
The endoscope 1 will be held in the holder part 2 by inserting it into the holder body 2A, closing the lid body 2B, and tightening the screw 2D. Of course, the mounting member 6 can also be configured to be slidable in the axial direction of the arm 5.

〔effect〕

As explained above, according to this invention, the arm side on which the holder portion for holding the endoscope is attached is connected to the column side by a link mechanism, and the link mechanism is connected to the mounting member provided on the arm and the column, respectively. The structure consists of two links that are rotatably attached at both ends so that they are parallel on a horizontal plane, so that the endoscope can maintain the same height and be parallel without changing the direction of the tip of the endoscope. Since it is configured to be movable, it is possible to adjust the endoscope in a horizontal plane, and the insertion direction of the endoscope does not change, nor does the direction of the tip end, making operation easier. .

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] The arm side on which the holder for holding the endoscope is attached is connected to the column side by a link mechanism, and the link mechanism is attached to two mounting members provided on the arm and the column respectively. The links are configured such that both ends of each link are rotatably attached so that they are parallel to each other on a horizontal plane,
An endoscope holding device characterized in that the endoscope moves in parallel without changing the direction of the distal end of the endoscope while maintaining the same height.
