Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an endoscope, and more particularly to a capsule endoscope. [Prior Art] A conventional intestinal and gastric endoscope is a method in which a fiber-optic hose is introduced into the digestive system of the human body from the mouth or anus, and thereby the lesion is located. However, the traditional intestinal and gastroscopic examination methods have technical limitations. The fiber optic hose can only be extended from the oral cavity to the duodenum or from the anus to the end of the small intestine. Therefore, the central portion of the small intestine up to 6 m becomes the dead end of the digestive system examination. Moreover, the existing examination of the intestines and stomach endoscopes can cause the patient to feel very uncomfortable ‘even leading to the patient's unwillingness to check and delay treatment. So in 1994, 'Israel's Gavriel Iddan and Eitan Scapa jointly developed a capsule endoscope that subverts traditional bowel and gastroscopic endoscopy. Capsule endoscopes have developed a variety of improved structures. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, as shown in the Taiwan Patent No. M243175 "Capsule Endoscope" patent case. The existing capsule endoscope 1 comprises a capsule shell 11 , a rotating mechanism 13 rotatably disposed in the capsule shell 11 , and a pair. Hai rotation mechanism! 3 ± spacers 12, an image manipulation module, 14 shirt image transmission modules B, and a precision battery module 16, all of which are disposed in the capsule housing u. The capsule casing 11 and the female, Table A 11 have two curved ends m, and an annular transparent window 112 between the curved ends 111. The image remnant module 14 is disposed on the partition plate 12 and images the outside of the capsule shell u through the transparent window 112. The rotating mechanism 13 can drive the spacer 12 to rotate, and further set the interval. The image capture module 14 on the board 12 can be photographed with rotation to obtain image data of 18 degrees. However, the existing capsule endoscope can capture the captured image in a rotating manner by the design of the spacer 12, but cannot capture the curved ends of the capsule shell 11 on both sides. Therefore, the two sides of the curved end turn become a dead angle on the shooting. Therefore, how to improve the image generated by the existing capsule endoscopes has been an important topic for continuous improvement in the medical technology field. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a capsule endoscope that can be flexed to reduce a dead angle. Thus, the capsule endoscope of the present invention is suitable for a wireless signal sensing module, the capsule endoscope includes a casing, a substrate disposed in the casing, and two image capturing units disposed on the substrate a tribute processing unit disposed in the housing and a power unit disposed in the housing.

The image capturing units are respectively disposed at two ends of the substrate, and each of the image capturing units includes an image capturing module disposed on the substrate and passing through the corresponding window portion for capturing image data. A light emitting element disposed on the substrate to provide illumination. The data processing unit includes a radio frequency identification device disposed on the substrate for transmitting image data captured by the image capturing module to the wireless signal sensing module. The power unit includes a battery disposed on the substrate and used to provide power to the unit. The effect of the invention is that the housing and the soil plate can be swayed by the design of the deformation portion, so that the image capturing module can capture images of different angles through the deflection of the substrate, Reduce the dead angle on the image capture, and thus increase the integrity of the acquired data.

Further, in the present embodiment, the light-emitting element is described by a high-brightness white light diode. Other types of light-emitting diodes may be selected depending on actual use requirements. The data processing unit 34 includes a data compression module 341 disposed on the substrate 32 for compressing image data, and a radio frequency identification module 342 disposed on the substrate 32. The RFID module is configured to wirelessly transmit the compressed image data to the wireless signal sensing module 4. Of course, the RFID module 342 can also receive the wireless signal sensing module. The control signals transmitted by group 4 are used for the purpose of two-way transmission. In this embodiment, the radio frequency identification module 342 is implemented by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and the wireless signal sensing module 4 is a wireless sensor ( Wireiess Sensor Network, WSN) for illustration. In addition, the manner of performing compression processing on the data is well known to those skilled in the art, and the manner of data processing is not a technical feature of the present invention, so no further details are provided. The 5 hp power unit 35 includes a battery 351 disposed on the substrate 32 for providing power to the units 33, 34, and an electrode 352 disposed on the outer surface of the housing 3 and capable of discharging to provide therapy. In this embodiment, the battery 35 1 is implemented by using a silver oxide battery, and the silver oxide battery has the advantages of environmental protection, and of course, a high-capacity flat-plate capacitor or other power storage element can also be used for conversion. This is limited. In particular, the electrode 352 is normally in a closed state. When the user judges that the digestive system needs to be electrotherapy by the instant digestive system image, the wireless signal sensing module 4 can send a start control signal. After the radio frequency identification module 342 receives the start control signal, the battery 351 is activated and the electrode 352 is driven to discharge in the digestive system to achieve immediate treatment. After the electrotherapy is completed, the wireless signal sensing module 4 sends a shutdown control signal to stop the discharge of the electrode 352. Referring to FIG. 6', in use, after the user swallows the capsule endoscope 3 of the present invention from the mouth, the capsule endoscope 3 moves as the digestive system creeps, and the image capturing module 332 will The image is compressed by the data compression module 341 at the speed of two seconds. 7 201138706 Then the wireless identification module 342 transmits the compressed data to the outside of the user by radio frequency. At this time, the wireless signal sensing module 4 located outside the user receives the image data, and first stores and collects the image data, so as to facilitate subsequent analysis of the image data, so that the physician can diagnose the health condition in the digestive system. Referring to FIG. 5, when the capsule endoscope 3 of the present invention moves in the digestive system, the control unit 36 drives the housing 31 and interlocks the substrate 32 to be flexed left and right so that the image capturing module 332 can Capture more images of the viewing angle. When the screw 363a on the side of the substrate 32 rotates and the fixing seat 361a is close to the micro motor 362a, the screw on the other side also rotates at the same time and the fixing seat 361b is away from the micro motor, so the deformation The portion 31i is bent, and the housing 31 is in a state of being bent as shown in the first direction. The control unit 36 can also enable the deformation portion 3 to be in the second direction as shown in FIG. 52 swaying and bending. By the repeated action of the control unit %, the image plucking 332 can capture images of more angles to reduce the dead angle of data capture. With the above design, The capsule endoscope 3 of the present invention has the following advantages when it is actually used: (1) reducing the shooting dead angle: the substrate 32 can be flexed and flexed by the deformation of the deformation portion 311 and the control unit 36. The image capturing module 332 can capture a dead angle that cannot be captured by the existing capsule endoscope for diagnosis by the physician. (2) The swaying increases the advancement efficiency: 201138706 The housing 3 can be made by the deformation portion 311. 1 bending and swaying In order to improve the traveling efficiency of the capsule endoscope 3 in the digestive system of the present invention, the existing capsule endoscope can only be advanced by the peristalsis of the digestive system, resulting in a disadvantage of slow movement. (3) Electrotherapy effect: by An electrode 352 disposed outside the housing 31, the electrode 352 can emit a therapeutic current to perform electrotherapy on the digestive system, so that the treatment can be performed while the system image is removed. Φ In summary, the capsule end view of the present invention The mirror 3 can be flexed and bent by the design of the deformation portion 3 11 , so that the image capturing module 332 can capture images of different angles through the deflection of the substrate 32 . In order to reduce the dead angle on the image capture, thereby increasing the integrity of the acquired data, and increasing the travel efficiency of the capsule endoscope 3 in the digestive system by bending and bending, and further by the design of the electrode 352, The invention can be achieved while the image is being taken, and the object of the present invention can be achieved.
