Abstract
The present invention relates to an endoscope apparatus, comprising: an endoscope conduit in which at least one channel is formed; A camera unit exposed at a distal end of the endoscope conduit; A plurality of optical fibers respectively exposed at the distal end of the endoscope conduit while being randomly disposed in an empty space inside the endoscope conduit; And a conduit cap coupled to an end of the endoscope conduit, the conduit cap being made of a transparent material so that the light emitted from the plurality of optical fibers can be irradiated forward. Accordingly, the front end of the endoscope conduit is formed of a transparent conduit cap and the front of the conduit cap is provided in the form of a lens if necessary, so that a plurality of optical fibers for transmitting light inside the endoscope conduit are randomly arranged So that it is possible to easily design the camera configuration, signal lines, channels, and the like for image acquisition.
Description
The present invention relates to an endoscope apparatus, and more particularly, to an endoscope apparatus capable of randomly arranging a plurality of optical fibers for transmitting light inside an endoscope conduit, To an endoscope apparatus that facilitates designing.
Endoscopy is a medical device for examining the inside of the body for general medical purposes. Endoscopy can be categorized into bronchoscopy, lumpectomy, laparoscopy, colonoscopy, etc., depending on the site to be examined. All are inserted into the human body and used for imaging, and lesions such as surgery, colon or stomach internal inflammation or cancer Which is widely used for testing.
The endoscope is made of a soft material in the case of an endoscope which constitutes the endoscope in that it is inserted into the human body and is provided so as to be inserted into the inside of the stomach according to the esophagus when inserted into the human body, for example, through the esophagus.
In general, a variety of configurations for endoscopic imaging or other functions are disposed in the interior of the endoscope along the endoscope conduit. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional endoscope conduit.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a camera structure for capturing an image, a signal line, And to provide an endoscope apparatus that facilitates the design of channels and the like.
The above object is achieved by an endoscope apparatus according to the present invention, comprising: an endoscope conduit in which at least one channel is formed; A camera unit exposed at a distal end of the endoscope conduit; A plurality of optical fibers respectively exposed at the distal end of the endoscope conduit while being randomly disposed in an empty space inside the endoscope conduit; And a conduit cap coupled to an end of the endoscope conduit, the conduit cap being made of a transparent material so that the light emitted from the plurality of optical fibers can be irradiated forward.
Here, the plate surface of the conduit cap facing the light emitted from the optical fiber may have a lens shape.
In addition, the camera portion is provided to protrude from the distal end of the endoscope conduit; An insertion portion into which the camera portion is inserted when the conduit cap is coupled to the endoscope conduit is formed in the conduit cap; The camera part may be inserted into the insertion part and exposed to the front of the conduit cap.
According to the present invention, according to the present invention, since the front end of the endoscope conduit is formed of a transparent conduit cap and the front of the conduit cap is provided in the form of a lens if necessary, The optical fiber of the present invention can be randomly arranged in an empty space, and an endoscope apparatus that facilitates the design of a camera configuration, a signal line, and a channel for image acquisition is provided.
