In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, 2 and 7, an endoscope bending mechanism 100 includes: a first mounting shell 110, a curved structure 120 and a first adapter 130. The first mounting shell 110 is provided with a first interface 113 and an outlet 114, and the first mounting shell 110 is detachably connected to the second mounting shell 210 of the control mechanism 200. The bending structure 120 includes a wheel 121, and a first adjusting rope 122 and a second adjusting rope 123 respectively connected to the wheel 121. The wheel 121 is rotatably mounted in the first mounting case 110. The first adjustment cord 122 and the second adjustment cord 123 are both connected to the insertion portion through the outlet 114. The first adaptor 130 is rotatably mounted in the first mounting housing 110, one end of the first adaptor 130 is in transmission fit with the rotating wheel 121, and the other end of the first adaptor 130 is used for being in transmission fit with the second adaptor 230 on the control mechanism 200 through the first adaptor 113.

According to the endoscope bending mechanism 100, the rotating wheel 121 is driven to rotate in the first mounting shell 110 by rotating the first rotating part 130, so that the rotating wheel 121 winds the first adjusting rope 122 or the second adjusting rope 123, a rope length difference is formed between the first adjusting rope 122 and the second adjusting rope 123, and the insertion part is bent. Because the bending structure 120 and the first adapting piece 130 are both located in the first mounting shell 110, and the first mounting shell 110 and the second mounting shell 210 are detachably connected, therefore, the bending part and the control part in the endoscope bending device are completely separated, and two independent structures are respectively formed, so that when the endoscope bending device is used up, only the first mounting shell 110 and the second mounting shell 210 are required to be separated, the bending part can be independently replaced, the endoscope bending device realizes partial structure replacement, the medical resource is greatly saved, the use cost of the endoscope is reduced, and the detection cost of a patient is reduced. Meanwhile, the first adaptor 130 is in transmission fit with the second adaptor 230 through the first adaptor 113, so that when the first mounting shell 110 is connected to the second mounting shell 210, the first adaptor 130 is in transmission fit with the second adaptor 230, so that the bending part and the control part of the endoscope bending device are organically combined to complete functional fit, and the assembly operation of the endoscope bending device is more convenient.

The insertion portion of the present embodiment is a portion that needs to be inserted into the human body during surgery, and the structure is integrated with devices such as an objective lens, a beam cover glass, and a nozzle. Meanwhile, the specific bending principle of the insertion portion is the prior art, and is not described in detail herein.

It should be further noted that, the other end of the first adaptor 130 of the present embodiment has two understanding modes through the first adaptor 113: the other end of the first adapter 130 extends out of the first adapter 113; the other end of the first adapter 130 does not extend out of the first adapter 113, i.e. the other end of the first adapter 130 is in the first adapter 113. When the other end of the first adaptor 130 does not extend out of the first adaptor 113, the second adaptor 230 extends into the first adaptor 113 and is in transmission fit with the first adaptor 130.

Optionally, the transmission matching manner of the first connecting member 130 and the rotating wheel 121 may be: the first connecting member 130 is in direct transmission fit with the rotating wheel 121, for example, the first connecting member 130 is coaxially connected with the rotating wheel 121; alternatively, the first connecting member 130 is indirectly engaged with the rotating wheel 121, for example, the first connecting member 130 and the rotating wheel 121 are driven by a gear. It should be noted that, when the first connecting member 130 is coaxially connected to the rotating wheel 121, the position of the first connecting member 130 has two states: a first rotating member 130 extends from one side of the first mounting shell 110, i.e. from the first housing 111 in fig. 2, and the first mounting shell 110 and the second mounting shell 210 are perpendicular or approximately perpendicular when assembled; second, the first connecting part 130 still extends from the end of the first mounting shell 110, and at this time, the mounting position of the rotating wheel 121 needs to be turned over by 90 ° from the mounting position in fig. 2, and in order to enable the first adjusting rope 122 and the second adjusting rope 123 to extend from the outlet 114, a guide wheel needs to be arranged in the first mounting shell 110, and the directions of the first adjusting rope 122 and the second adjusting rope 123 are changed through the guide wheel.

Similarly, the first adaptor 130 is in driving fit with the second adaptor 230 in two ways: firstly, direct transmission matching is adopted, namely a coaxial connection mode is adopted; and secondly, indirect transmission and matching are realized, and gear transmission is adopted between the two parts.

Optionally, the first mounting shell 110 and the second mounting shell 210 are detachably connected in an embodiment in which: a buckle structure is arranged between the first mounting shell 110 and the second mounting shell 210 to realize buckle connection; or, a ring sleeve is sleeved on the second mounting shell 210, an internal thread is arranged on the ring sleeve, and an external thread is arranged on the first mounting shell 110.

Further, referring to fig. 2, the endoscope bending mechanism 100 further includes a transmission mechanism 140. The transmission structure 140 is located in the first mounting case 110. One end of the first connecting member 130 is in transmission fit with the rotating wheel 121 through a transmission structure 140. Therefore, the transmission between the first connecting member 130 and the rotating wheel 121 in the embodiment is indirect transmission, and the first connecting member 130 can stably drive the rotating wheel 121 to rotate in the first mounting shell 110 through the transmission structure 140. Wherein, the transmission structure 140 may be a gear transmission structure 140 or a crank-slider mechanism.

Further, referring to fig. 2, the transmission structure 140 includes a first transmission tooth 141 and a second transmission tooth 142 engaged with each other. The first transmission tooth 141 is connected to the first transfer member 130. The second gear 142 is connected to the wheel 121. Thus, when the first rotating member 130 rotates and drives the first transmission gear 141 to rotate, the first transmission gear 141 also drives the second transmission gear 142 to rotate, and the second transmission gear 142 is connected to the rotating wheel 121, so that the rotating second transmission gear 142 also drives the rotating wheel 121 to rotate, thereby realizing the operation of the endoscope bending mechanism 100.

Optionally, the first transmission tooth 141 is connected to the first adapter 130 by a bolt connection, a pin connection, a key connection, or other connection means; the second gear 142 is connected to the wheel 121 by a bolt, a pin, a key, or other connection.

Alternatively, the first driving gear 141 and the second driving gear 142 may be both bevel gears or spur gears. When the first transmission gear 141 and the second transmission gear 142 are both straight gears, the position of the first transmission member 130 also has two states: a first rotating member 130 extends from one side of the first mounting shell 110, i.e. from the first housing 111 in fig. 2, and the first mounting shell 110 and the second mounting shell 210 are perpendicular or approximately perpendicular when assembled; second, the first adapter 130 still extends out from the end of the first mounting shell 110, and at this time, in order to enable the first adjusting rope 122 and the second adjusting rope 123 to extend out from the outlet 114, a guide wheel needs to be arranged in the first mounting shell 110, and the direction of the first adjusting rope 122 and the direction of the second adjusting rope 123 are changed through the guide wheel.

Specifically, referring to fig. 2, the first transmission gear 141 and the second transmission gear 142 are both bevel gears, so that the rotation directions of the first connecting member 130 and the rotating wheel 121 are changed through the first transmission gear 141 and the second transmission gear 142, and the first connecting member 130 and the rotating wheel 121 are more conveniently in transmission fit, so that the endoscope bending mechanism 100 is more compactly combined, and the structural stability of the endoscope bending device is improved.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating wheel 121 is provided with a connecting shaft 1213, and the first transmission gear 141 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 1213 and rotates synchronously with the connecting shaft 1213. The synchronous rotation of the first transmission gear 141 and the connecting shaft 1213 can be realized by: the connection is realized through a key connection mode; or the cross section of one end of the connecting shaft 1213 is non-circular, and a non-circular hole is also formed on one end of the first transmission tooth 141. For example, the cross-sectional shape of one end of the connecting shaft 1213 is triangular, quadrangular, polygonal, elliptical, or the like; one end of the first transmission gear 141 is provided with a triangular hole, a quadrangular hole, a polygonal hole, an elliptical hole, etc.
