Description of the invention: » [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention relates to a structure of a swallowable endoscope, in particular to a swallowing endoscope with a double-shell design The mirror body is in the outer casing of the expandable tail portion, and the inner mirror body can rotate relative to the outer casing body to greatly reduce the intestinal friction force, and the outer portion of the outer casing expands the vein to help control the inner portion. The direction and speed of the mirror travel to perform observation or treatment of the system or the intestine. / [Prior Art] Press, the traditional endoscope device, which is a miniature image capture device, such as CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or "cM〇s (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) The metal semi-conductor is disposed at the end of a tube having an optical fiber, and extends one end of the tube body with the image capturing device into the human body, and can illuminate the inside of the I® official by the optical fiber, and the image capturing device The internal image of the organ is captured and the signal is transmitted back to a control host, and then the control host converts the signal into an image displayed on the screen to observe the internal condition of the organ; however, the traditional intubated endoscope has a complex path and For the long intestine (about seven meters), the operation is extremely difficult, and it will cause extremely uncomfortable feelings for the patient. It may cause damage to the intestines. Therefore, in recent years, a swallowing type has been developed. Sight glass (also known as capsule endoscope), its appearance is like a knee sac (the general size is about diameter I is about 26 mm long), and the image capturing device, lighting device, signal processing device, etc. are set. In this case, after the patient swallows the endoscope, the image of the gastrointestinal tract 6 (8 1284027 system) is transmitted, and the signal is transmitted to a wireless transmission receiver for storage, and the 'capsule-shaped endoscope is followed. The gastrointestinal motility is excreted. : However, the swallowed endoscope is advanced according to the sin of the intestine. When the intestine stops squirming or the intestinal tract is blocked, the endoscope is often caught in the intestine. Based on the limitation of power supply, the shooting time of the general swallowing endoscope is about eight hours. If the capsule endoscope is stuck and cannot advance, the power is often exhausted and the inspection cannot be completed. Secondly, the swallowing is generally performed. The type of endoscope is symmetrical, I# is a patent for the structure of the swallowed endoscope, such as the US Patent No. 4278077 "Medical camera system" (shown in Figure 1). ), 6776165 "Magnetic navigation system for diagnosis, biopsy and drug delivery vehicles" (shown in Figure 2), early publication No. 20030167000 "Miniature ingestible capsule" (shown in Figure 3), China Application No. 0310009δ·3 "Capsule Endoscope" (as shown in Figure 4), Republic of China Patent Application No. 〇92214583 "Capsule Endoscope with >9 Rotatable Image Sensing Module" ( As shown in Figure 5, No. 093216785 "Capsule endoscope with multi-chip module" (as shown in Figure 6), No. 092214586 "Capsule endoscope with movable fins" (as shown in Figure 7) In view of the technical means provided by the aforementioned conventional patents, it is known that most of the emphasis is on image capture, image focus and other techniques. As for the structure, there is only a single-shell, and the shell The outer shape is a symmetrical capsule shape, wherein the structure is relatively special, as shown in Figure VII, the 092214586 諕 "capsule endoscope with movable fins", which is attached to the capsule shell 110 without moving fins The board 150 is controlled by the magnetic zone 153 and the magnetized area 112 7
