随着医疗水平的逐渐发展,内窥镜的使用在医疗手术中越来越普遍,对内窥镜的要求也越发提升,对于内窥镜的应用可以分为胃肠镜、泌尿镜等需要大角度弯曲的内窥镜。但是,对于大角度弯曲部的功能往往受限于其弯曲块之间的咬合角度。对于影响咬合角度的因素包括很多,例如内窥镜弯曲结构部的作用腔道角度、弯曲块的机械强度、外部保护管以及内部线路工作通道等因素。其中,弯曲结构部的外部保护管及内部线路工作通道等容易夹持在两弯曲块之间,从而使两弯曲块之间的咬合角度减小,影响内窥镜弯曲部的咬合角度。

当两所述弯曲块相互咬合的时候,所述凸起部转动经过所述避让空间,直至两所述抵接面相互抵持。
在其中一实施方式中,所述抵接面呈凹面,所述凸起部设于所述抵接面的凹陷的最低处。

在其中一实施方式中,所述第一凸起部的两侧分别设有所述第一凹陷部,所述第二凹陷部的两侧分别设有所述第二凸起部。
在其中一实施方式中,所述弯曲块的两端分别包括第一端面及第二端面,位于所述第一端面的抵接面为第一抵接面,位于所述第二端面的抵接面为第二抵接面;所述第一抵接面设有第一凹陷部,所述第二抵接面设有第二凸起部,所述第一凹陷部与所述第二凸起部位于所述弯曲块的同一轴线上。
在其中一实施方式中,所述弯曲块的端部开设有缓冲缝,所述缓冲缝沿所述弯曲块的周向延伸,所述缓冲缝与所述抵接面之间朝向所述弯曲块内侧凹陷形成所述凹陷部,并且所述凹陷部形成有用于穿设所述牵引导丝的过孔。

具体实施方式
尽管本发明可以容易地表现为不同形式的实施方式,但在附图中示出并且在本说明书中将详细说明的仅仅是其中一些具体实施方式,同时可以理解的是本说明书应视为是本发明原理的示范性说明,而并非旨在将本发明限制到在此所说明的那样。
由此,本说明书中所指出的一个特征将用于说明本发明的一个实施方式的其中一个特征,而不是暗示本发明的每个实施方式必须具有所说明的特征。此外,应当注意的是本说明书描述了许多特征。尽管某些特征可以组合在一起以示出可能的系统设计,但是这些特征也可用于其他的未明确说明的组合。由此,除非另有说明,所说明的组合并非旨在限制。
在附图所示的实施方式中,方向的指示(诸如上、下、左、右、前和后)用于解释本发明的各种元件的结构和运动不是绝对的而是相对的。当这些元件处于附图所示的位置时,这些说明是合适的。如果这些元件的位置的说明发生改变时,则这些方向的指示也相应地改变。
以下结合本说明书的附图,对本发明的较佳实施方式予以进一步地详尽阐述。
请参见图1,本发明提出一种内窥镜的弯曲结构部。
具体在本实施方式中,本实施方式的内窥镜的弯曲结构部包括弯曲部10、包覆在弯曲部10外侧的保护管20、及设于弯曲部10内的线路(图未示)。保护管20用于对弯曲部10进行密封包覆,使弯曲部10内形成一封闭腔体。保护管20可以为橡胶皮层、塑胶层。
则设于弯曲部10内的线路可以包括电路、气路、水路及用于牵引弯曲部弯折的牵引导丝。由于内窥镜于弯曲结构部前端设有前端模块。前端模块包括用于获取图像的摄像模块、用于喷水的喷水口,用于进气/抽气的出气口等。弯曲结构部内的线路用于连通前端模块的摄像模块、喷水口、出气口等。
牵引导丝30的一端与弯曲部的前端驱动连接,另一端与内窥镜的手柄操控部驱动连接。牵引导丝30可以为刚性金属丝。牵引导丝30穿设于弯曲部内,并与弯曲部连接。牵引导丝30伸缩拉动,牵引弯曲部,使弯曲部弯折,起到牵引弯曲部弯折的目的。
弯曲部包括多个相连接的弯曲块。相邻两个弯曲块之间通过连接部可转动连接。具体地,弯曲部可以通过激光切割钢管制成。
其中,弯曲块包括位于内窥镜前端的首部弯曲块、位于内窥镜后端的尾部弯曲块及位于首部与尾部之间的中部弯曲块。首部弯曲块与尾部弯曲块的结构与中部弯曲块的结构相 似,其不同之处主要在于,首部弯曲块的前端及尾部弯曲块的后端不设有用于连接弯曲块的连接部,以使首部弯曲块为最前端的弯曲块,尾部弯曲块为最后端的弯曲块。中部弯曲块的前端、后端均设有连接部。下文对于弯曲块的说明,除特殊说明,其为对中部弯曲块的特征进行说明。
请参阅图2及图3,具体在本实施方式中,弯曲部包括多个第一弯曲块11及多个第二弯曲块12。第一弯曲块11与第二弯曲块12相互间隔设置,相邻两第一弯曲块11与第二弯曲块12之间通过连接部13可转动连接。具体地,第一弯曲块11设有第一环形臂111及第一环形槽112,第二弯曲块12设有第二环形臂121及第二环形槽122。第一环形臂111可转动设于第二环形槽122内。第二环形臂121可转动设于第一环形槽112内。第一环形臂111与第二环形臂121相对转动形成连接部13。第一环形臂111与第二环形臂121的硬度满足第一弯曲块11与第二弯曲块12之间的连接强度要求。
可以理解,连接部13的具体结构形式,不限于上述形式,只要两弯曲块之间实现可转动连接即可。例如,第一环形臂111及第一环形槽112的个数还可以分别为多个,对应的,第二环形臂121及第二环形槽122也可以分别为多个。
弯曲块的端面设有抵接面。本实施方式中,抵接面呈凹面,以使两相邻弯曲块的抵接面之间能够形成可转动的空间,以使两弯曲块之间能够相对转动。当两抵接面相互抵持的时候,相邻两弯曲块的轴向呈夹角设置,并且相对停止转动。
弯曲块于连接部13的两侧可以分别设有一抵接面14。则弯曲块的一端端面上设有两个抵接面14。具体地,弯曲块在其轴向方向上,可以包括第一端面101及第二端面102。第一端面101朝向弯曲部的前端方向,第二端面102朝向弯曲部的后端方向。位于弯曲块的第一端面101的两抵接面为第一抵接面141,位于弯曲块的第二端面102的两抵接面为第二抵接面142。相邻两弯曲块之间相对转动,当两弯曲块的抵接面14相对抵持的时候,则两弯曲块相对转动至最大转动角度,两个弯曲块之间通过两抵接面14相对限位。即,当第一弯曲块11的第一抵接面1411与第二弯曲块12的第二抵接面1422相互抵持的时候,则第一弯曲块141与第二弯曲块142之间转动至最大转动角度,两个弯曲块之间相对限位。
在传统的内窥镜中,在弯曲部弯曲的过程中,弯曲部的外部保护管及内部管路,容易夹持在两弯曲块之间,则会导致两个弯曲块实际发生相对转动的最大角度不同于两弯曲块之间的最大转动角度。为方便说明,现规定,相邻两弯曲块实际发生相对转动的最大角度为咬合角度。因此,在传统的内窥镜中,相邻两弯曲块之间的咬合角度往往会小于两个弯曲块之间的最大转动角度。如果每组相邻的两个弯曲块之间的咬合角度能够达到两弯曲块之间能够发生的最大转动角度,则弯曲部能够保持最大角度弯曲。
具体在本实施方式中,两相互抵持的抵接面中之一设有凸起部15。凸起部15沿弯曲块的轴向延伸。两相互抵持的抵接面中的另一设有凹陷部16,凹陷部16在弯曲块的轴向上提供一避让空间。当两弯曲块相互咬合的时候,凸起部15转动经过避让空间,直至两 抵接面相互抵持。凸起部15可以将保护套20或者内部线路进行阻挡,避免其进入到两个抵接面之间。并且,凹陷部16为凸起部15提供转动的避让空间,保证两弯曲块能够顺利转动咬合。因此,凸起部15能够使相邻的两个弯曲块之间的咬合角度能够达到两弯曲块之间能够发生的最大转动角度,本实施方式的弯曲结构部能够保持最大角度弯曲,弯曲结构部的弯曲性能较优。
在其他实施方式中,多个凸起部15可以位于同一抵接面14上,多个凹陷部16也可以位于同一抵接面14上。因此,此处对凸起部15的设置位置及设置个数不做限定,只要在第一弯曲块11与第二弯曲块12的相对转动的时候,凸起部15之间不发生相互干涉,凸起部15能够阻挡内部线缆或顶起外部保护管,保证相邻两弯曲块能够以最大转动角度咬合即可。
由于抵接面14呈凹面,则凸起部15设于抵接面的凹陷的最低处。抵接面凹陷的最低处为两弯曲块之间咬合距离最大处。其中,咬合距离为相邻两弯曲块处于咬合角度的时候,两个弯曲块的抵接面之间的距离。则凸起部15于咬合距离最大的位置处,可以对内部管路及外部保护管进行较为有效的阻挡,使弯曲块之间以最大转动角度咬合,则弯曲部能够保持最大弯曲角度弯曲。
请参阅图3,具体在本实施方式中,第一弯曲块11的第一抵接面1411上设有凸起部15,第二弯曲块12的第二抵接面1422上设有凹陷部16。当第一弯曲块11的第一抵接面1411与第二弯曲块12的第二抵接面1422相互靠近时,凸起部15穿过凹陷部16形成的避让空间,以避免第一抵接面1411与第二抵接面1422干涉。凹陷部16还可以为凹槽或者冲压槽等。此处对凹陷部的具体结构形式不做限定,只要凹陷部能够为凸起部15在弯曲块的轴向上形成避让空间即可。
具体在本实施方式中,第一弯曲块11的第一抵接面1411的中部设有第一凸起部151,位于第一凸起部151的两侧分别设有一第一凹陷部161。第二弯曲块12的第二抵接面1422的中部设有第二凹陷部162,位于第二凹陷部162的两侧分别设有一第二凸起部152。第一凹陷部161为第二凸起部152提供避让空间,第二凹陷部162为第一凸起部151提供避让空间。
则在第一弯曲块11的第一抵接面1411与第二弯曲块12的第二抵接面1422之间设有三个凸起部15。则三个凸起部15能够更好的将保护套或内部线路进行阻挡,避免其被咬入第一弯曲块11的第一抵接面1411与第二弯曲块12的第二抵接面1422之间,影响第一弯曲块11与第二弯曲块12之间的咬合。
请参阅图3,并且,弯曲块的第一抵接面141及第二抵接面142上,第一抵接面141设有第一凹陷部161。第二抵接面142设有第二凸起部152。第一凹陷部161与第二凸起部152位于弯曲块的同一轴线上。第一凹陷部161与第二凸起部152相对设置,则在弯曲块的轴向方向上,弯曲块的长度距离与不开设有凸起部及凹陷部的长度距离相近。因此,即使弯曲块开设有凸起部及凹陷部,也不会影响弯曲块自身的强度,保持弯曲部的整体强 度。
可以理解,在其他实施方式中,第一弯曲块的第一抵接面还可以设有多个第一凸起部,或者,第一弯曲块的第一抵接面可以设有一个第一凹陷部。相应地,第二弯曲块的第二抵接面对应设有多个第二凹陷部,或者,第二弯曲块的第二抵接面可以设有一个第二凸起部。此处对于第一凸起部及第一凹陷部、第二凸起部及第二凹陷部的个数不做限定,只要第一弯曲块的第一抵接面与第二弯曲块的第二抵接面能够保证顺利抵持限位即可。
第二弯曲块12的第二抵接面1422设有用于穿设牵引导丝的导向部,导向部朝向弯曲块内侧凹陷。则导向部可以为凹陷部的一具体实施方式,在其他实施方式中,凹陷部还可以为其他结构形式。
具体地,第二弯曲块12靠近第二抵接面1422的端部开设有缓冲缝164。缓冲缝164沿第二弯曲块12的周向延伸,缓冲缝164与第二抵接面1422之间朝向第二弯曲块142内侧凹陷形成避让空间。并且导向部形成有用于穿设牵引导丝30的过孔(图未示)。
则第二弯曲块12在沿其轴向方向上于导向部处形成一避让空间。并且导向部与凸起部15在弯曲部的延伸方向上相对设置,则当第一弯曲块11与第二弯曲块12咬合的时候,则第一弯曲块11上的凸起部15可以从该避让空间穿过,以避免凸起部15与第二弯曲块12形成干涉,影响弯曲部的咬合角度。
第一弯曲块11的凸起部15与第二弯曲块12的凹陷部16于弯曲部的延伸方向上相对设置。当第一抵接面141与第二抵接面142相互靠近时,凸起部15从凹陷部16的形成的避让空间穿过,以避免与第二弯曲块12干涉,则第一弯曲块11与第二弯曲块12之间能够以最大转动角度咬合。具体在本实施方式中,相邻两弯曲块相对转动的最大转动角度为50度。
并且,凸起部15于弯曲块的轴向上的长度小于凹陷部16于弯曲块的轴向上的长度。则当第一弯曲块11与第二弯曲块12相互咬合的过程中,凸起部15能够顺利穿过凹陷部16形成的避让空间,则避免凸起部15与凹陷部16相互干涉,影响两弯曲块的咬合角度。
并且,凸起部15距离连接部13的中心处的距离满足弯曲块的强度要求,以避免冲压形成凹陷部16的时候,冲压作用力对弯曲块的强度产生影响,甚至使弯曲块变形。
具体地,第一环形槽112的开口朝向第一弯曲块11的一端,第一环形槽112的底部距凸起部15的顶端端面的距离为0.5mm-1.5mm。第二环形槽122的开口朝向第二弯曲块12的一端,第二环形槽122的底部距第二弯曲块12的另一端端面的距离为0.5mm-1.5mm。由此,在凸起部15及导向部在冲压过程中,弯曲块均能满足其强度要求。
并且,凸起部15的顶端端面为弧形表面。凸起部15的顶端端面均为圆角化,一便于凸起部15进入凹陷部16形成的避让空间,并顺利穿出。
本实施方式的内窥镜的弯曲结构部可以应用于肠胃内窥镜及呼吸道内窥镜。
当上述内窥镜的弯曲部应用于肠胃内窥镜的时候,则第一弯曲块11与第二弯曲块12之间通过两个连接部可转动连接。并且,整个弯曲部的连接部分布于四个轴线方向上。则 该肠胃内窥镜可以在四个维度上进行弯曲。第一弯曲块11设有两个凸起部,第二弯曲块12设有两个凸起部,第一弯曲块11的凸起部与第二弯曲块12的凸起部沿弯曲部的四条相互平行的轴线分布。
当上述内窥镜的弯曲部应用于呼吸道内窥镜的时候,则第一弯曲块11与第二弯曲块12之间通过两个连接部可转动连接。并且,整个弯曲部的连接部分布于两个轴线方向上。则该呼吸道内窥镜可以在两个维度上进行弯曲。第一弯曲块11设有两个凸起部,多个第一弯曲块11的凸起部沿弯曲部的两条相互平行的轴线分布。
请参阅图5,其中,凸起部于弯曲部的轴线方向上的长度为第一长度H1,从凸起部的底部距连接部的中心处的距离为第二长度H2,连接部的中心处距缓冲缝164的距离为第三长度H3,缓冲缝164距第二抵接面的距离为第四长度H4。其中,第一长度H1小于第四长度H4。
请参阅图6,相邻两弯曲块相对于连接部正向转动的最大转动角度为第一角度,反向转动的最大转动角度为第二角度。可以理解,第一角度与第二角度可以相同,也可以不同。具体在本实施方式中,第一角度小于第二角度。凸起部可以保证相邻两弯曲块之间正向转动及反向转动以最大转动角度咬合,并且,上述弯曲结构部能够实现不同曲率半径的弯曲,更加灵活的匹配受检体形状,提高检查舒适性。
则弯曲部的正向弯曲角度为,A=N*α,其中,A为弯曲部的正向弯曲角度,N为弯曲块的个数,α为相邻两弯曲块之间的正向转动的最大转动角度,即,α为第一角度。
则弯曲部的反向弯曲角度为,B=N*β,其中,A为弯曲部的正向弯曲角度,N为弯曲块的个数,β为相邻两弯曲块之间的正向转动的最大转动角度,即,β为第二角度。弯曲部的正向弯曲角度A小于弯曲部的反向弯曲角度B。例如,弯曲部的正向弯曲角度A可以达到270度,弯曲部的反向弯曲角度B可以达到210度。
则弯曲部的正向曲率半径为:
Figure PCTCN2022111483-appb-000001
其中,H1为凸起部于弯曲部的轴线方向上的投影长度为第一长度,H2为从凸起部的底部距连接部的中心处的距离为第二长度,H3为连接部的中心处距缓冲缝164的距离为第三长度。N为弯曲块的个数,α为相邻两弯曲块之间的正向转动的最大转动角度。
则弯曲部的反向曲率半径为,

其中,H1为凸起部于弯曲部的轴线方向上的投影长度为第一长度,H2为从凸起部的底部距连接部的中心处的距离为第二长度,H3为连接部的中心处距缓冲缝164的距离为第三长度。N为弯曲块的个数,β为相邻两弯曲块之间的反向转动的最大转动角度。
弯曲部的正向曲率半径小于弯曲部的反向曲率半径。例如,弯曲部的正向曲率半径为14mm,弯曲部的反向曲率半径为17mm。
在其他实施方式中,在弯曲部的轴向上,依次排列的多个弯曲块的第一角度及第二角 度依次增大。
具体在本实施方式中,依次排列的多个弯曲块的第一角度大小以第一等差数列增大,第一等差数列的公差为第一公差。
多个弯曲块的第二角度大小以第二等差数列增大。第二等差数列的公差为第二公差。可以理解,第一公差与第二公差可以相等也可以不等。
具体在本实施方式中,第一公差小于第二公差。即,a<b,其中,a为第一公差,b为第二公差。
则本实施方式的弯曲部的正向弯曲角度A为:
Figure PCTCN2022111483-appb-000003
其中,N为弯曲块的个数,A1为起始弯曲块的第一角度,a为第一公差。
弯曲部的正向曲率半径为:
Figure PCTCN2022111483-appb-000004
其中,H1为凸起部于弯曲部的轴线方向上的投影长度为第一长度,H2为从凸起部的底部距连接部的中心处的距离为第二长度,H3为连接部的中心处距缓冲缝164的距离为第三长度。N为弯曲块的个数,A1为起始弯曲块的第一角度,a为第一公差。
则该弯曲部的反向弯曲角度为:
Figure PCTCN2022111483-appb-000005
其中,N为弯曲块的个数,B1为起始弯曲块的第一角度,b为第二公差。
弯曲部的反向曲率半径为:
Figure PCTCN2022111483-appb-000006
其中,H1为凸起部于弯曲部的轴线方向上的投影长度为第一长度,H2为从凸起部的底部距连接部的中心处的距离为第二长度,H3为连接部的中心处距缓冲缝164的距离为第三长度。N为弯曲块的个数,B1为起始弯曲块的第一角度,b为第一公差。
因此,上述弯曲部在正向弯曲或反向弯曲的时候,具有不同大小的曲率。在弯曲部的起始位置处具有较大的曲率,则使弯曲部的头端能够发生较大角度的弯曲。弯曲部的末端位置处具有较小的曲率,则弯曲部的末端能够较好的传导控制力,保证弯曲部具有较好的控制力。因此,上述弯曲部能够更好地适用不同的医疗环境的使用需求,提高内窥镜的性能。
虽然已参照几个典型实施方式描述了本发明,但应当理解,所用的术语是说明和示例性、而非限制性的术语。由于本发明能够以多种形式具体实施而不脱离发明的精神或实质,所以应当理解,上述实施方式不限于任何前述的细节,而应在随附权利要求所限定的精神和范围内广泛地解释,因此落入权利要求或其等效范围内的全部变化和改型都应为随附权利要求所涵盖。
