Description of the Invention: [Technical Aspects of the Invention] The present invention relates to a winch endoscope and a capsule internal view system, and in particular, the present invention relates to a plastic endoscope that can be activated via a remote control (power supply) And capsule internal vision system. >, [Prior Art] With the changes in lifestyles and changes in eating habits, the chances of modern people suffering from cancers of the digestive system such as colorectal cancer or rectal cancer are also raised. Therefore, if the digestive system can be examined regularly, it can be immediately detected and further treated at the beginning of the cancer to reduce the risk of death from cancer. The current method of examining the digestive system is usually done through an endoscope. By using an endoscope with a photographic lens to enter the digestive tract via the mouth or anus, images of the inner wall of the digestive tract can be taken immediately for examination. Conventional endoscopes, which are more common today, are usually designed to produce a light source from an external system, which in turn directs the light source to the position of the photographic lens via the optical fiber. In addition, depending on the type of photographic lens, the optical image or digital image data that is captured also needs to be transmitted to the external system through an optical fiber or an electronic transmission line. Therefore, a physical conduit ' is required between the photographic lens and the external system to accommodate the optical electronic transmission line. In practice, the detection operator extends the catheter of the endoscope from the mouth or anus of the subject into the deep part of the digestive tract. As the catheter is deep into the digestive tract, the telephoto lens τ at the front of the catheter is used to transmit the captured image back to the screen of the external system 201127338. However, due to the curved shape of the human digestive tract structure, during the advancement of the digestive system, the catheter will inevitably cause friction, collision and pulling of the digestive tract. All of the above cases will be extremely incomparable, so many subjects are often regarded as fearful of digestive system endoscopy, and may delay the timing of finding lesions and miss the golden time of treatment. In addition, the catheter of a general endoscope can only pass through the stomach through the stomach to the front end of the small intestine, or from the anus through the large intestine to the back end of the small intestine. Since the small intestine of the human body is more than six meters long and is very twisted and twisted, the catheter will not advance to the middle of the small intestine with the intestines of the intestine, so the detailed examination of the small intestine cannot be performed. In order to solve this problem, a capsule intraocular system has been developed which includes an external system and a capsule endoscope. The capsule endoscope includes a lighting module, an image sensing module, a wireless transmitting module and a battery, and the 7L piece is integrally packaged in a capsule body having a length of about 25 cm and a diameter of about hl cm. After the capsule endoscope is swallowed by the subject, it will advance by digesting the bridge of the _ Λ itself. The illumination module illuminates the periphery of the capsule by the LED, and allows the image sensing module to capture the image of the inner wall of the digestive tract along the way, and then transmits the captured image to the external system through the wireless transmitting module. . The external system can record the image so that the tester can view the image record in real time or in detail afterwards. The capsule endoscope is used to detect the image of the digestive tract, in addition to avoiding the pain of traditional endoscopic examination, and at the same time clearly grasping the image of the small intestine. However, the requirements of the capsule endoscope in its volume need not be too large to facilitate the swallowing of the subject, but also to accommodate multiple components, and the set battery is also subject to the capacity. The battery capacity used by the Lai endoscope is about 50 mah. With the current electronic technology, most capsule endoscopes can only work for about 8 hours. In practice, when the capsule endoscope passes through the small intestine and reaches the large intestine, it is often exhausted without electricity. Therefore, today's detection of the end of the digestive line often relies on traditional endoscopy to take advantage of the benefits of capsule endoscopes. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a capsule endoscope to solve the problems of the prior art. According to a specific embodiment, the capsule endoscope includes a power supply module, and a sensing power module and a power control module. The sensing function module is electrically connected to the power supply module and is used to capture images outside the capsule endoscope. The power control module is electrically connected to the electric servo and has an electronic switch. The power control module switches the electronic 卩· according to the preset condition to control the power output from the power supply module to the sensing function module. Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a (four) internal view system in accordance with the problems of the prior art.

The external control (4) system has a remote control module, and the remote control module is used to transmit a power remote control signal. The capsule endoscope has a power supply module 2 sensing power module and a power control module.

If the image display capsule endoscope 1c has not yet reached the area where 201127338 is to be detected, the detector can send a command to disconnect the electronic switch 13 or stop the sensing function module 12 through the first wireless transmitting unit 2〇1. The power supply module 11 is caused to stop supplying the power of the sensing function module 12. Therefore, by using the capsule internal vision system 1 of the specific embodiment, the capsule endoscope lc can be placed in front of the large intestine, and the tester can remotely control the power supply of the capsule endoscope lc, and only turn off at the appropriate time for immediate inspection, thereby saving. battery power. In this way, not only can the capsule endoscope lc advance in the digestive tract, but also the capsule endoscope lc can still have sufficient electricity for the examination of the large intestine when it reaches the large intestine. In addition, the transmission of the digital remote control city and the digital information of the image is transmitted by radio waves or magnetic waves of different bands, so that it does not interfere with each other. In summary, with the capsule internal vision system of the present invention, it is possible to make the timing of the image transmission function by timing = late or escaping. This saves the wire of the power supply and allows the inspection of the shaft (10) mirror to extend its application to the large intestine. The disease in the large intestine is much more than that in the small intestine. The technique mentioned in this paper is an indispensable technical solution for facilitating the painless swallowing type of hidden lens.
