Detailed Description
The invention will be better explained by the following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the drawings.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the present embodiment provides a split-type medical endoscope including a proximalglass fiber bundle 1, aproximal core 2, adistal core 3, a distalglass fiber bundle 4, a proximal housing 5, a distal housing 6, alatch 7, a key 8, alock lever 9, and a spring 10.
Theproximal core 2 is fixed within a proximal housing 5. Thedistal core 3 is secured within a distal housing 6. Theproximal core 2 and thedistal core 3 are detachably connected. Thereby, the proximal housing 5 and the distal housing 6 and the proximal portion and the distal portion are detachably connected.
One end of the proximalglass fiber bundle 1 is mounted to theproximal core 2. The proximalglass fiber bundle 1 includes a plurality of proximal glass fibers arranged in a bundle, for example, assembled into a bundle using 6000-8000 glass fibers having a diameter of 38 μm. Each proximal glass fiber comprises alight source end 11, alight guide section 12 and an emittingend 13, which are sequentially connected, wherein thelight source end 11 is connected with a light source to receive light, and thelight guide section 12 conducts the light of the light source in the proximal glass fiber until the light is conducted to the emittingend 13. Here, the light source ends 11 of all the near-side glass optical fibers are integrally formed by thermal fusion into the lightsource connection part 15, and the lightsource connection part 15 is constructed in a structure to be connected to the light source in a plug-in manner, whereby the lightsource connection part 15 for connection to the light source transmits light from the light source to the respectivelight guide sections 12 of all the near-side glass optical fibers. Thelight guide sections 12 of the plurality of proximal glass fibers are gathered to form the light guide portion of the proximal glass fiber bundle. Theemitting ends 13 of all the proximal glass fibers are formed into an integrallight condensing portion 14 by thermal fusion, and thelight condensing portion 14 is configured to focus and emit light transmitted from thelight guiding sections 12 of all the proximal glass fibers. Therefore, through the arrangement mode of the integratedlight condensing part 14, the light guide area of the light guide part of the near side glass fiber bundle can be increased, meanwhile, thelight condensing part 14 does not need to have the same light guide area as the light guide part of the near side glass fiber bundle due to the light condensing effect, namely, the size of thelight condensing part 14 can be reduced relative to the light guide part of the near side glass fiber bundle, thereby overcoming the size limitation of an endoscope, improving the light guide rate, improving the front end lighting effect of the endoscope and further improving the imaging effect. For example, if the existing mounting structure allows the mounted proximal glass fiber bundle to have a diameter of 4mm, then only 5000-6000 fibers of 38 μm can be used to form the proximal glass fiber bundle, and the diameter of the light guiding area is less than 4mm because of the gaps between the fibers. More optical fibers can be used at present, so that the diameter of the light guide part reaches 5mm, the light guide area is increased by using more optical fibers, and the light guide can be installed in the existing endoscope through the light condensing part with the diameter of 4mm and condensed light is emitted.
In the present embodiment, in the projection of the plane perpendicular to the center line of the proximal glass fiber bundle, the projections of the lightsource connection portion 15 and thelight condensing portion 14 are located within the projection range of thelight guide sections 12 of the plurality of proximal glass fibers, thereby ensuring an increased light guide area while fitting the size range allowed by the proximal glass fiber bundle mounting structure.
In this embodiment, thelight gathering portion 14 includes opposite first andsecond ends 16, 17, thefirst end 16 being connected to the light guidingsegments 12 of the plurality of proximal glass optical fibers and thesecond end 17 being remote from the light guidingsegments 12. In the present embodiment, thelight condensing portion 14 is composed of a cylindrical body including afirst end portion 16 and asecond end portion 17, and an end face of thesecond end portion 17 is configured as a spherical surface. It will be appreciated that thesecond end 17 may not be entirely spherical here, but rather may be partially spherical as shown in the figures, capable of converging light.
In the present embodiment, the lightsource connection portion 15 is entirely cylindrical. And the diameter of the lightsource connection part 15 is 3mm-4mm, and the diameter of the light guide part is 4mm-5mm. The diameter of the cylinder of thelight condensing portion 14 is 3mm-4mm. It is inevitable that the diameter of the cylindrical body of the lightsource connection portion 15 and the diameter of the cylindrical body of thelight converging portion 14 are smaller than the diameters of thelight conducting sections 12 of the plurality of light guides.
In this embodiment, the proximalglass fiber bundle 1 includes a first ferrule (not shown), a hose (not shown), and asecond ferrule 18. The first metal sleeve wraps the lightsource connection portion 15, the hose wraps thelight guide section 12, and thesecond metal sleeve 18 wraps thelight condensing portion 14. The first metal sleeve, hose andsecond metal sleeve 18 are connected in sequence. Wherein, the first metal sleeve is connected with the lightsource connecting part 15 and thelight condensing part 14 is connected with thesecond metal sleeve 18 in an adhesive manner, and the outer circumferential surface of thesecond metal sleeve 18 is provided with threads.
In this embodiment, theproximal core 2 is provided with a first mountinghole 21, and a firstmetal connecting pipe 22 is fixed in the first mountinghole 21 by means of bonding or threaded connection, etc., and an end surface of the firstmetal connecting pipe 22 near thedistal core 3 is flush with an edge of the first mountinghole 21 on the side. Further, thesecond metal sleeve 18 is sleeved with the firstmetal connection tube 22, and an end of thesecond metal sleeve 18 near the distal core 3 (i.e., near the distal glass fiber bundle 4) is retracted with respect to the first mountinghole 21, the purpose of this retraction being to form a space for insertion of the distalglass fiber bundle 4 and a cannula outside thereof.
In this embodiment, the first mountinghole 21 is a circular hole with equal diameter, the firstmetal connecting pipe 22 is a circular pipe with equal diameter and equal wall thickness, and thesecond metal sleeve 18 is a circular pipe with equal diameter and equal wall thickness. The inner wall of the firstmetal connecting pipe 22 is provided with internal threads, and the firstmetal connecting pipe 22 is in threaded connection with thesecond metal sleeve 18. Of course, in other embodiments, the firstmetal connecting tube 22 and thesecond metal sleeve 18 may be fixed by adhesion.
One end of a distalglass fiber bundle 4 is mounted to thedistal core 3. The distalglass fiber bundle 4 includes a plurality of distal glass fibers, for example, 3000 to 4000 glass fibers having a diameter of 38 μm. One end of all distal glass fibers is heat-fused into anintegral receiving portion 41, and the other end of all distal glass fibers is divided into a plurality of illumination structures extending to the front end of the distal portion, respectively, in the drawing, two strands are taken as an example, and before connecting the illumination structures, each distal glass fiber is also heat-fused into an integral emitter.
In the present embodiment, thelight condensing portion 14 and the receivingportion 41 are cooperatively configured as: when thedistal core 3 and theproximal core 2 are connected, thelight condensing portion 14 condenses the light transmitted from thelight guide section 12 to the receivingportion 41. In the case where the end face of the second end of the light-condensingportion 14 is an arc face in the present embodiment, thesecond end 17 of the light-condensingportion 14 is spaced from the receivingportion 41, and the diameter of the receivingportion 41 is equal to or smaller than the diameter of the small end of the imaginary circumscribed cone a of the spherical surface, so that the receivingportion 41 receives all the light emitted from the light-condensingportion 14 as much as possible, especially when the diameter of the receivingportion 41 is smaller than the diameter of the small end of the imaginary circumscribed cone a, even when there is an assembly error between thedistal core 3 and theproximal core 2.
In this embodiment, the second mountinghole 31 is provided in theproximal core 2, the distalglass fiber bundle 4 includes athird metal sleeve 42 surrounding the receivingportion 41, the receivingportion 41 is bonded to thethird metal sleeve 42, and one end face of the receivingportion 41 and one end face of thethird metal sleeve 42, which are close to the proximalglass fiber bundle 1, are flush. The secondmetal connecting pipe 32 is fixed in the second mountinghole 31 through threaded connection or bonding, thethird metal sleeve 42 is sleeved with the secondmetal connecting pipe 32, and the end faces of thesecond metal sleeve 42 and the end face of the second metal sleeve close to the proximal glass fiber bundle are flush, so that a plug is formed by the receivingpart 41, thethird metal sleeve 42 and the end of the secondmetal connecting pipe 32 close to the proximalglass fiber bundle 1. The plug is inserted into the first mountinghole 21 and abuts thesecond metal sleeve 18. When the secondmetal connection pipe 32 abuts against thesecond metal sleeve 18, the distance between the light condensing portion and the receiving portion happens to be appropriate.
In the present embodiment, the second mountinghole 31 is a stepped hole. The outer wall of the secondmetal connecting pipe 32 is matched with the second mountinghole 31 to form a step shape, a step hole is formed in the secondmetal connecting pipe 32, and the outer wall of thethird metal sleeve 42 is matched with the step hole in the secondmetal connecting pipe 32 to form a step shape. Therefore, when the distalglass fiber bundle 4 and the secondmetal connecting pipe 32 are installed to thesecond installation hole 31, the axial position is accurately fixed, and the distance between the light condensing part and the receiving part when the secondmetal connecting pipe 32 is abutted with thesecond metal sleeve 18 is further ensured to be proper.
Further, one end of thelatch 7 is configured as a cylinder with external threads for screwing with a hole with internal threads in theproximal core 2, thereby fixing thelatch 7 to theproximal core 2, both moving synchronously. The other end of thebolt 7 is also configured as a cylinder with an annularfirst recess 71 and the front end of the cylinder has afront end guide 72. Wherein the diameter of the cylinder with thefirst recess 71 in theplug 7 is larger than the diameter of the cylinder with the external thread.
In cooperation, alatch jack 35 is provided in thedistal core 3, and the bottom of thelatch jack 35 constitutes a latch-in-place structure 33. The cylinder of thelatch 7 having thefirst groove 71 slidably engages thelatch receptacle 35, and when the front end of the cylinder of thelatch 7 having thefirst groove 71 abuts the latch-in-place structure 33, thelatch 7 is in place, and theproximal core 2 and thedistal core 3 abut. The frontend guide structure 72 provides a guide function during insertion of theplug 7 into theplug insertion hole 35. In the present embodiment, the frontend guiding structure 72 is a cylindrical front end with a bevel cut, however, in other embodiments, the frontend guiding structure 72 may be a conical surface or the like.
Thereby, one end of theplug 7 is fixed to theproximal core 2, and the other end of theplug 7 is inserted in thedistal core 3 so as to be pluggable. Of course, the invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, thelatch 7 may be fixed to thedistal core 3 to be removably inserted with theproximal core 2.
It should be noted that "one end" and "the other end" of thelatch 7 refer to the portions of thelatch 7 that cooperate with thedistal core 3 and theproximal core 2, and as can be seen from fig. 3, in this embodiment, thelatch 7 is divided into two portions that cooperate with thedistal core 3 and theproximal core 2, respectively, so that "one end" and "the other end" of thelatch 7 are these two portions. If in other embodiments thedistal core 3 and theproximal core 2 do not abut after thelatch 7 is in place, there may be a third portion between "one end" and "the other end" of thelatch 7, i.e. a portion that does not mate with either thedistal core 3 or theproximal core 2.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned "slidably engaged" means that the inner walls of thelatch 7 and thelatch insertion hole 35 are in contact but such contact does not affect smooth insertion and extraction of both, thereby ensuring the mounting accuracy of thedistal core 3 and theproximal core 2, and thus the distal portion and the proximal portion.
The key 8 is located outside the distal housing 6 and the proximal housing 5.
One end of thelock lever 9 is fixed with the key 8.
The other end of thelock lever 9 is movably inserted in a member (i.e., thedistal core 3 in this embodiment) in which thelatch 7 is inserted. Specifically, a lockrod insertion hole 36 is provided in the component (i.e., thedistal core 3 in this embodiment) into which thelatch 7 is inserted, and the bottom of the hole of the lockrod insertion hole 36 constitutes a lock rod in-place structure 34, and the "other end of thelock rod 9" described above is slidably engaged with the lockrod insertion hole 36. It should be noted that "slidably engaged" herein means that the inner walls of thelock lever 9 and the locklever insertion hole 36 are in contact but such contact does not affect smooth insertion and extraction of both, thereby ensuring smooth locking and unlocking (described in detail later) between thelock lever 9 and thelatch 7.
It should be noted that "one end" and "the other end" of thelock lever 9 refer to portions of thelock lever 9 that are engaged with the key 8 and the component (i.e., thedistal core 3 in the present embodiment) in which theplug 7 is inserted, and as can be seen from fig. 3, theplug 7 is divided into three portions, the first portion is engaged with the component (i.e., thedistal core 3 in the present embodiment) in which theplug 7 is inserted, the second portion is engaged with the component (i.e., thedistal core 3 in the present embodiment) in which theplug 7 is inserted, and the third portion is located intermediate the first portion and the second portion, and is engaged with neither the key 8 nor the component (i.e., thedistal core 3 in the present embodiment) in which theplug 7 is inserted.
Further, the extending direction of the locklever insertion hole 36 is perpendicular to the extending direction of thelatch insertion hole 35, whereby the inserting and extracting direction of thelatch 7 is perpendicular to the moving direction of thelock lever 9.
Thelock lever 9 has asecond groove 91, and thesecond groove 91 is an arc groove, and the radius of the arc groove is larger than the radius of a cylinder inserted into thedistal core 3 in thelatch 7.
The spring 10 is elastically supported between the key 8 and the member in which theplug 7 is inserted (i.e., thedistal core 3 in this embodiment). In the present embodiment, two springs 10 are provided.
As can be seen from the figure, fourpins 7 are provided in a rectangular shape in the present embodiment, twolock bars 9 are provided corresponding to the twopins 7, respectively, i.e., onelock bar 9 is engaged with the twopins 7 located on one side of the fourpins 7, and theother lock bar 9 is engaged with the twopins 7 located on the other side of the fourpins 7, whereby twosecond grooves 91 are provided on eachlock bar 9 for engagement with thefirst grooves 71 of the corresponding twopins 7.
Thelock lever 9 is movable along the first groove when thelatch 7 abuts against the latch-in-place structure 33, and is thus movable between the unlocked position and the locked position.
When thelock lever 9 is in the locking position, thefirst groove 71 is located in the part (i.e., thedistal core 3 in this embodiment) in which thelatch 7 is inserted and is offset from thesecond groove 91, and thelock lever 9 is partially embedded in thefirst groove 71, whereby thelatch 7 is restrained from movement by thelock lever 9 inserted into itsfirst groove 71. And at this time, the spring 10 is in a natural state.
The key 8 is pressed by a doctor, and thelock lever 9 moves toward the lock lever in-place structure 34. When the lockinglever 9 abuts against the locking lever in-place formation 34, the lockinglever 9 is in the unlocked position, thesecond recess 91 is aligned with thefirst recess 71, and thelatch 7 can be moved past thesecond recess 91 to thereby disengage from its interposed component (i.e. thedistal core 3 in this embodiment). At this time, the distal core and the proximal core are separated, i.e., the distal portion and the proximal portion of the split medical endoscope are separated. Wherein the spring 10 holds the force during the movement of thelock lever 9 from the locking position to the unlocking position.
After the pressing external force on the key 8 disappears, the external force key 8 provided by thespring piece 13 drives thelock rod 9 to move in a direction away from the lockrod positioning structure 34, and thelock rod 9 moves from the unlocking position to the locking position.
If a new distal portion is to be reinserted, the key 8 is pressed by the doctor, thelock lever 9 moves toward the locklever positioning structure 34, and the spring 10 stores the force. When the lockingbar 9 abuts against the locking bar in-place formation 34, the lockingbar 9 is in the unlocked position, thelatch 7 is inserted into the latch receptacle and until thelatch 7 abuts against the latch in-place formation, during which thelatch 7 moves past thesecond recess 91 to thereby engage with its inserted component (i.e. thedistal core 3 in this embodiment). After that, the doctor releases the pressing, and the spring 10 drives the key 8 to drive thelock rod 9 to move along the first groove, and thesecond groove 91 is staggered with thefirst groove 71.
Thereby, thedistal core 3 and theproximal core 2 are detachably connected.
To sum up, in the split medical endoscope of this embodiment, thedistal core 3 and theproximal core 2 are detachably connected through thelatch 7, thelatch 7 is locked through thelock lever 9 to lock the connection between thedistal core 3 and theproximal core 2, and the key 8 can drive thelock lever 9 to move between a locking position for preventing thelatch 7 from being inserted and removed and an unlocking position for allowing thelatch 7 to be inserted and removed under the action of external force. The structure is simple to operate, and only one of thedistal core 3 and theproximal core 2 is required to be plugged in and pulled out while a doctor drives the key 8. Therefore, the structural design can realize one-key plug and pull, and further can realize nondestructive conduction of force, light and electricity.
Meanwhile, the mortise lock in the embodiment has high structural precision, and can ensure that thelight condensing part 14 of the near side glass fiber bundle is aligned with the receiving part of the far side glass fiber bundle when the far side core body is connected with the near side core body, so that higher light guide rate is ensured.
Example two
Referring to fig. 5, the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the shape of the light condensing portion.
Specifically, thelight condensing portion 14 of this embodiment is composed of a cylinder and a circular truncated cone connected to the cylinder, wherein one end of the cylinder far away from the circular truncated cone is used as thefirst end 16, the large end of the circular truncated cone is connected to the cylinder, and the small end face of the circular truncated cone is the end face of thesecond end 17. At this time, the diameter of thefirst end 16 of the light condensing part 14 (i.e., the diameter of the cylinder and the maximum diameter of the circular truncated cone) is 4-5mm, and the diameter of thesecond end 17 of the light condensing part 14 (i.e., the minimum diameter of the circular truncated cone) is 3-4mm. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and thelight collecting portion 14 may be integrally formed as a circular truncated cone.
In this embodiment, the end surface of thesecond end 17 of the light-gatheringportion 14 is flush with the outer end surface of thesecond metal sleeve 18, and the inner wall of thesecond metal sleeve 18 is matched with the shape of the light-gatheringportion 14, i.e. when the light-gatheringportion 14 is a cylinder and a circular table, the inner wall of thesecond metal sleeve 18 is a cylindrical surface and a circular table. The first mountinghole 21 is a circular hole with equal diameter, and the firstmetal connecting pipe 22 is a circular pipe with equal outer diameter and equal wall thickness. The outer wall of thesecond metal sleeve 18 is in form fit with the inner wall of the firstmetal connection tube 22.
When theproximal core 2 and thedistal core 3 are connected, thelight condensing portion 14 is coaxial with the receivingportion 41 and thesecond end 17 of thelight condensing portion 14 abuts against the receivingportion 41. At this time, thethird metal sleeve 42 and the secondmetal connection pipe 32 are in contact with thesecond metal sleeve 18, and the diameter of the receivingportion 41 is smaller than the diameter of the second end portion of the light condensing portion 14 (preferably, the difference between the diameter of the receivingportion 41 and the diameter of the second end portion of thelight condensing portion 14 is an installation error), so that thesecond end portion 17 of thelight condensing portion 14 is in contact with the receivingportion 41 and thelight condensing portion 14 is coaxial with the receivingportion 41.
As in the first and second embodiments, the light-gathering portion is connected to the first mounting hole by thesecond metal sleeve 18 and the first metal connecting pipe, and the receiving portion is connected to the second mounting hole by thethird metal sleeve 42 and the secondmetal connecting pipe 32, so that thefirst light beam 1 and the secondlight beam 4 are independent products and are convenient to mount and dismount from theproximal core 2 and thedistal core 3.
Example III
Referring to fig. 6, this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the first metal connection pipe and the second metal connection pipe are removed, thesecond metal sleeve 18 is directly sleeved with the first mountinghole 21, thethird metal sleeve 42 is directly sleeved with the second mountinghole 31, and an end of thesecond metal sleeve 18 near the proximalglass fiber bundle 1 is inserted into the first mountinghole 21 to abut against thesecond metal sleeve 18.
Preferably, this "nesting" is achieved by screwing or bonding.
Example IV
Referring to fig. 7, the present embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that the first metal connection pipe and the second metal connection pipe are removed, thesecond metal sleeve 18 is directly sleeved with the first mountinghole 21, and thethird metal sleeve 42 is directly sleeved with the second mountinghole 31.
