Abstract

L'invention concerne un endoscope comprenant quatre unités de fils courbées se déplaçant d'avant en arrière ou d'arrière en avant de manière rectiligne de manière à changer la direction d'une extrémité avant de l'endoscope dans n'importe quelle direction; une première unité d'entraînement courbée qui tourne dans la direction avant/arrière en fonction d'un signal de commande pour déplacer la première ou la deuxième unité de fil courbée dans la direction avant/arrière ou arrière/avant de manière rectiligne, une deuxième unité d'entraînement courbée qui tourne dans la direction avant/arrière en fonction d'un signal de commande pour déplacer la troisième ou quatrième unité de fil courbée dans la direction avant/arrière ou arrière/avant de manière rectiligne; quatre unités tubulaires de guidage des fils courbées destinées à guider de manière respective les quatre unités courbées; et une unité de commande destinée à appliquer des signaux de commande à la première ou à la deuxième unité d'entraînement courbée en fonction de signaux clés pour chaque direction. L'endoscope de la présent invention facilite la stérilisation d'une unité d'insertion flexible et empêche une utilisation erronée de l'endoscope par suppression de la nécessité d'introduction d'un élément électronique interne dans l'unité d'insertion flexible.
