They not only provide evidence for diagnosis, but also can remove lesions and eradicate diseases. They have become an irreplaceable important technology in the field of modern medicine. However, the iatrogenic infections that can occur during the endoscopy cannot be ignored, especially the possibility of accidents such as the transmission of hepatitis and AIDS through blood and body fluids. It is indeed worrying! In recent times, many small medical devices have been modified as much as possible For single use, to completely solve the problem of disinfection. However, medical endoscopes cannot be used for one time because of their high cost. However, as an interventional instrument, disinfection is indeed a major problem. In recent years, high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization has been applied to new rigid endoscopes. Service life), but various flexible mirrors cannot withstand high temperature and high pressure disinfection at all, especially the various open channels in endoscopes are more difficult to thoroughly clean and disinfect. In view of this, since the 1990s, people at home and abroad have begun to explore solutions. Among them, there are three U.S. patents (patent numbers: 5, 025, 778; 5, 483, 951, and 5) that are closer to the present invention. , 876, 329), each of which has its own characteristics, but they are not easy to implement. For example, the US Patent No. 5,025, 778 gives the schematic structure of various embodiments: the structure shown in Figure 2B It is a full-opening open tube outside the sleeve, but because the open end of the open tube 54 is open, it is easy to scratch the body cavity mucosa; the open tube 54 shown in FIG. 8 is the opposite, and the full tube is closed. For a long curved body cavity pipe, the pipe may be punctured during the process of inserting the instrument; and US Patent No. 5,483,951 discloses a semi-cylinder lens body structure and patent US patent No. 5,876, 329 axial C-shaped endoscope lens body structure, the common defects of the two flexible lenses are difficult to manufacture, because the flexible lens needs to bend and turn, the non-cylinder of free bending " Bone "is not easy to make,
鞘套的造价也较高, 必定影响产品在市场上销售和使用, 所以市场上迄今未见推广。 其它多种专利文献则与本专利内容相距甚远。 发明内容 The cost of the sheath is also high, which will definitely affect the sales and use of the product in the market, so it has not been promoted in the market so far.

Cylindrical body of endoscope Under the premise that the endoscope is easily contaminated and difficult to clean and disinfect, the open pipes are removed from the endoscope body, thereby compressing the outer diameter of the special endoscope in the system, and only the front end of the head Reduction and modification, in the clinical application, an isolation cuff that is suitable for the shape of the endoscope is put on. Finally, the space made by the special endoscope described above due to the shrinkage of the head is used to remove the above from the endoscope body. Each of the removed open ducts is fixed to the head of the endoscope that has been covered with an isolation cuff through an elastic end cap. The connection of each soft open duct and the elastic end cap can be through a respective thin metal tube; the elastic end cap is A cylindrical body with a D-shaped lens head slot and a metal thin-walled socket at the front of each open pipe, but the slots and sockets are reduced to a certain depth to ensure the front of the lens and each The front end of the metal thin-walled tube of the open pipe is a certain distance from the front end surface of the elastic end cap; because the endoscope lens body has been protected by an isolation cuff, after the entire system is used, the isolation cuff and the openings outside the cuff only need to be Ducts and elastic end caps connected to them and The nozzles are replaced at one time, so that the endoscope lens body is completely free from pollution, and the disinfection is reliable, convenient and practical, and it is beneficial to promote.
基于将易受污染的各种幵口管道从原内窥镜镜体中移到套有内窥镜镜体的隔离 套囊的外面这一构思,本发明系统中所述内窥镜的头部前端也可不进行改形, 即保持 原先的普通圆柱体,这对原有传统内窥镜的利用很重要,此时设置的开口管道可直接 粘接在隔离套囊外面,开口管道前端的幵口边缘可与套囊前端周边同轴地呈线性浅表 地烫合在一起, 对开口管道开口施以暂时性闭合。此外, 也可用可溶塞将开口管道前 端的开口暂时性堵塞,这时开口管道则随套有内窥镜的隔离套囊进入人体体腔时, 开 口管道的开口因有暂时性闭合或有可溶塞的半球头部在前而不能划伤体腔粘膜,器械 到达工作部位时只将暂时闭合的封口捅幵或将可溶塞捅出就可工作,推出的无毒的可 溶塞可在体内溶化; 开口管道如需作为吸引使用时,可在该管道进入体腔后到达吸引 部位时再插入一支质地稍硬的吸引管, 该吸引管也可同时用作操作管,这可使该管的 开口前端能够前后滑动,有利将吸引管置于观察系统的视野内进行吸引,对吸引过程 看得更清楚。  Based on the idea of moving the various susceptible ducts from the original endoscope body to the outside of the isolation cuff with the endoscope body, the head of the endoscope in the system of the present invention The front end does not need to be modified, that is, the original ordinary cylinder is maintained. This is very important for the use of the original traditional endoscope. At this time, the open tube can be directly bonded to the outside of the isolation cuff, and the mouth of the front end of the open tube The edges can be welded linearly and superficially coaxially with the periphery of the front end of the cuff to temporarily close the open duct opening. In addition, a soluble plug can also be used to temporarily block the opening at the front end of the open pipe. At this time, when the open pipe enters the body cavity with the endoscope-isolated cuff, the opening of the open pipe is temporarily closed or soluble. The hemispheric head of the plug is in front and cannot scratch the body cavity mucous membrane. When the device reaches the working site, it will only work when the seal is temporarily closed or the soluble plug is pulled out to work. The non-toxic soluble plug introduced can be dissolved in the body. If the open pipe needs to be used as a suction, a slightly hard suction pipe can be inserted when the pipe reaches the suction site after entering the body cavity. The suction pipe can also be used as an operation pipe at the same time, which can make the pipe open. The front end can slide back and forth, which is beneficial to place the suction tube in the field of view of the observation system for suction, and see the suction process more clearly.
本发明技术解决方案是:包括镜体、幵口管道和由透明坚韧材料制成的隔离套囊, 该隔离套囊套在内部不设任何开口管道的镜体上,在隔离套囊的外边设置有将各开口 管道连为一体的弹性端帽。其中所述镜体的头部形状, 可以压縮改形, 例如本发明给 出的一种端面为 " D"字形结构, 即只在圆柱体的镜体头部制成截头楔形, 在端面形 成 D字形; 而对另外一些内窥镜也可不进行改形, 只在内窥镜镜体内不设任何开口 管道, 从而也压缩了镜体外径, 保持了原先普通的圆柱形, 以便在隔离套囊外设置各 种套管等镜下手术用具;对现有内置各种开口管道的传统内窥镜也可利用这种隔离套 囊和开口管道, 实现一次性消毒的目的, 只是镜体直径稍大; 所述镜体的后部则根据 需要,可以设置注水注气手阀与泵体:设置注水注气手阔是为了利用原来镜体手柄的 设施和考虑方便习惯只对传统内窥镜进行部分改进; 不设置注水注气手阀的, 是为了 更好地防止水、气万一产生倒流所能出现的污染, 此时注水注气管道的后端可与注射 器或一次性使用的专用注水注气机通过接头连接使用,代替原有在机箱内的多次使用 的注水注气机; 此时的内窥镜镜体由于取消了占位较大的各开口管道,而大大压缩了 镜体的直径, 仅由观察系统(物镜、 目镜、 传象束或 CCD等)、 传光系统、 方向操纵 系统和包皮等构成; 所述镜体的物镜前端面应高于镜体的其它前端面, 以利于该物镜 前端面与隔离套囊前端的内表面贴合紧密, 以防杂光进入。 The technical solution of the present invention includes a lens body, a mouth tube, and an isolation cuff made of a transparent and tough material. The isolation cuff is placed on the lens body without any open duct inside, and is arranged on the outside of the isolation cuff. There are elastic end caps that connect each open pipe as a whole. The shape of the head of the lens body can be modified by compression. For example, the end face given in the present invention has a "D" shape structure, that is, a truncated wedge shape is made only on the head of a cylindrical body, and the end face Form a D-shape; while other endoscopes may not be modified, only no open channels are provided in the endoscope body, thereby also compressing the outer diameter of the lens body and maintaining the original ordinary cylindrical shape so as to be in the isolation sleeve. Various surgical instruments such as cannulas are set outside the capsule; this type of isolation sleeve can also be used for existing traditional endoscopes with various open channels built in The bladder and the open pipe are used for one-time disinfection, but the diameter of the lens body is slightly larger; the rear part of the lens body can be provided with a water injection and gas injection hand valve and a pump body according to needs: the water injection and gas injection hand valve is provided for use Originally, the facilities and considerations of the handle of the lens body were only partially improved on the traditional endoscope. The hand valve for water injection and gas injection was not provided to better prevent water and gas from contamination that may occur in the event of backflow. The rear end of the water-injection and gas-injection pipe can be connected with a syringe or a single-use dedicated water-injection and gas-injection machine through a joint, instead of the original multiple-use water-injection and gas-injection machine in the chassis; the endoscope lens body at this time is due to The large open ducts are eliminated, and the diameter of the lens body is greatly compressed. It is only composed of the observation system (objective lens, eyepiece, image beam or CCD, etc.), light transmission system, directional control system, foreskin, etc .; The front end surface of the objective lens of the lens body should be higher than other front end surfaces of the lens body, so that the front end surface of the objective lens and the inner surface of the front end of the isolating cuff are closely fitted to prevent stray light from entering.
所述隔离套囊的头部形状与镜体的头部形状相似, 其尺寸以能够适度套进镜体为 宜, 后部则较镜体宽松, 长度视卫生要求而定, 可以套在手柄近处, 也可以将手柄全 部包裹, 采用透明坚韧材料制成的隔离套囊应保证病毒细菌不能透过。  The shape of the head of the isolation cuff is similar to the shape of the head of the lens body, and its size is suitable to be appropriately inserted into the lens body, and the rear part is looser than the lens body. The length depends on hygiene requirements and can be placed near the handle. You can also wrap the handle completely, and the isolation cuff made of transparent and tough material should ensure that the virus and bacteria cannot pass through.
本发明系统中的各种开口管道,可以通过前端较细的、与其套接的金属薄壁管与 弹性端帽连为一体, 前端与构成镜体头部的 D字形端面的斜坡同弯曲度(随弯就弯) 的金属薄壁管按一定部位排列在弹性端帽上,其后部与各自软性管相连接,在其中的 操作孔管道后端设有插钳口和吸引接头 (即分流管)。 对设有双钳道 (双操作孔管) 的, 其中一支管道的近端与器械插口相连, 另一支与吸引头部相联; 而对只设一支钳 道的操作孔管道的近端可与分流头部相连, 器械操作和吸引可同时在一支管道进行, 注水注气管道的近端, 可与内窥镜手柄上的注水注气手阀连接, 也可与注射器连接, 也可与专用的一次性使用的水泵气泵相连, 它们都是向喷嘴注水或注气 (喷嘴出口指 向隔离套囊前端面内的物镜部位),但后者可更好防止万一水气倒流所能产生的污染。 本发明系统的隔离套囊、 各种开口管道、 弹性端帽、 分流头等用后更换, 只做一次性 使用,而造价较高的内窥镜镜体因受到隔离套囊保护, 只需一般常规消毒就可安全使 用, 提高了镜体的使用效率和寿命。  The various open pipes in the system of the present invention can be connected with the elastic end cap through a thin metal tube with a thin front end and a sleeve, and the slope of the front end and the D-shaped end face forming the head of the mirror body are the same. The metal thin-walled tube is arranged on the elastic end cap according to a certain position, and the rear part is connected with the respective flexible tube. The rear end of the operation hole pipe is provided with a jaw and a suction joint (that is, a shunt tube). For those with double clamp channels (dual-operating-hole tubes), the proximal end of one of the tubes is connected to the instrument socket, and the other is connected to the suction head; The end can be connected to the shunting head. Instrument operation and suction can be performed in one pipe at the same time. The proximal end of the water injection and gas injection pipe can be connected to the water injection and gas injection hand valve on the endoscope handle, and it can also be connected to the syringe. Can be connected to a dedicated single-use water pump air pump, they are filled with water or gas (nozzle outlet points to the objective lens in the front face of the isolation cuff), but the latter can better prevent water and gas The resulting pollution. The isolation cuff, various open pipes, elastic end caps, and shunt heads of the system of the present invention are replaced after use, and are only used for one-time use. The relatively expensive endoscope lens body is protected by the isolation cuff. Disinfection can be used safely, which improves the use efficiency and life of the lens body.
与现有技术相比, 本发明带有一次性鞘套的内窥镜系统的有益效果如下- 为了解决医用内窥镜彻底消毒问题,将内窥镜中的开口管道移至体外, 便于一次 使用。 1991年美国 5, 025, 778号专利共有 24幅结构图形, 表述多种办法以达到内 窥镜镜体内开口管道移至镜体外部的作法, 图 2A, 2B和图 8与本发明图 8-2的内容 相近,但却有实质性区别:  Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the endoscope system with a disposable sheath of the present invention are as follows-In order to solve the problem of thorough disinfection of medical endoscopes, the open pipe in the endoscope is moved outside the body, which is convenient for one-time use . In 1991, U.S. Patent No. 5,025,778 has a total of 24 structural figures, expressing a variety of methods to achieve the method of moving the open tube in the endoscope body to the outside of the body, Fig. 2A, 2B and Fig. 8 and the present invention Fig. 8- The content of 2 is similar, but there are substantial differences:
1 ) 美国 5, 025, 778号专利 (参见图 2B所示) 操作软管在鞘套外部其前端开 口呈张开状, 并有双层物质构成, 这样的幵口设在镜头旁, 镜体头部摆动转向时极易 划伤体腔粘膜; 图 2A和图 8的整条开口管道都为闭合状态, 使用前要用图 10所示 器具撑开, 因为该管道随着镜体在人体的弯曲腔道内, 撑开的过程会使管道有被穿破 的危险。本发明的实施例仅对开口管道的前端边缘进行暂时性闭合, 或用可溶塞暂时 性封堵, 以避免随镜体摆动时划伤体腔粘膜,开口管道除前端幵口边缘外全部管腔为 软性圆管体。 本发明的开口管道, 既在开口边缘闭合, 又在管腔张幵; 既不是全部张 开的, 也不是全部闭合的。这就是与所述美国专利的本质区别。使用时用诸如闭合状 的活检钳进入开口管道内捅开开口边缘或推动溶塞工作。镜体外部的各开口管道因为 都由软管制作, 进入体腔狭窄处, 在管内无物时可被挤瘪, 实际上更可使外径缩小。 1) U.S. Patent No. 5,025,778 (see Figure 2B) The operating hose is opened at the front end of the sheath The mouth is open and consists of a double-layered material. Such a mouth is set next to the lens. When the head of the lens body is swung and turned, the mucosa of the body cavity is easily scratched. The entire open pipe in Figure 2A and Figure 8 is closed. The device shown in FIG. 10 must be used to open it, because the pipe is in the curved cavity of the human body along with the mirror body. The process of opening will cause the pipe to be punctured. In the embodiment of the present invention, only the front edge of the open pipe is temporarily closed or temporarily blocked with a soluble plug to avoid scratching the body cavity mucous membrane when the lens is swung. It is a soft round tube. The open duct of the present invention is closed both at the edge of the opening and at the lumen; neither is it fully open or fully closed. This is the essential difference from said US patent. When in use, use a closed biopsy forceps to enter the open pipe to open the edge of the opening or push the plug. Each open pipe outside the mirror body is made of a hose and enters the narrow space of the body cavity. It can be squeezed when there is nothing in the pipe. In fact, the outer diameter can be reduced.
2) 美国专利 (专利号: 5, 483, 951与 5, 876, 329) 分别提出轴向半圆柱形镜 体和 C字形镜体的两种镜体结构。 借以腾出镜体外部的幵口管道所需空间, 但二者 都改变了圆柱形的镜体,其共同缺点是非圆柱形镜体的可弯曲转向部分制作困难,不 便推广应用。本发明只在内窥镜镜体的前端头部加以变形,使其头部侧视为截头楔形, 形成 D字形的前端面, 为外部各开口管道的前端头部腾出空间, 通过弹性端帽实现 了系统的前端头部的圆柱形, 便于插入; 而后边的全部镜体(包括可弯曲转向部分) 仍为圆柱体,没有因为头部的变形增加后部镜体可弯部分的制作难度,便于推广应用。 与所述美国专利相比, 本发明开口管道的特点是: 管道的开口前端开口边缘施行暂时 性封闭处理或用可溶塞封堵, 使用时用闭合状的活检钳捅开或捅出, 不至因前端开口 的张开状划伤体腔, 也不会因为很长的闭合管腔被捅开而可能发生捅破的危险。 开 口管道的其余部分仍呈有弹性软体的圆管形, 使用时不会因管道张开的开口划伤粘 膜, 也不会因撑开管道而发生剌破管道和腔道的危险。 附图说明  2) U.S. patents (patent numbers: 5,483, 951 and 5, 876, 329) propose two types of lens body structures: axial semi-cylindrical lens body and C-shaped lens body. In order to free up the space required for the mouth pipe outside the mirror body, but both have changed the cylindrical mirror body, the common disadvantage is that the bendable turning part of the non-cylindrical mirror body is difficult to manufacture, which is inconvenient for popularization and application. The present invention only deforms the front end of the endoscope lens body, so that the head side is regarded as a truncated wedge shape, forming a D-shaped front end surface, to make room for the front head of each external open pipe, and through the elastic end The cap realizes the cylindrical shape of the front end of the system, which is easy to insert; and all the mirror bodies (including the bendable turning part) at the back are still cylindrical, and there is no difficulty in making the bendable part of the rear mirror because of the deformation of the head. For easy promotion and application. Compared with the U.S. patent, the characteristics of the open pipe of the present invention are as follows: the opening edge of the front end of the pipe is temporarily closed or blocked with a soluble plug, and when used, it is opened or closed with a closed biopsy forceps. Even if the body cavity is scratched due to the open end of the front end, there is no danger of puncture due to the long closed lumen being broken open. The remaining part of the open pipe is still in the shape of a round tube with elastic software. It will not scratch the mucosa due to the open opening of the pipe during use, and it will not cause the danger of rupturing the pipe and cavity due to the open pipe.

下面结合附图对本发明的具体技术方案作进一步详细说明:  The specific technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings:
如图 1〜5所示, 本发明带有一次性鞘套的内窥镜系统, 包括镜体 1 (图 2C)和 各种开口管道如注水注气管 9、操作管道 15, 内窥镜系统中还设置一个由透明坚韧材 料制成的隔离套囊 6 (图 3), 该隔离套囊 6套在内部不设任何开口管道的镜体 1上, 在隔离套囊 6的外边设置将各注水注气管 9、操作管道 15连为一体的弹性端帽 10(图 5)。 图 1表明, 由于将内窥镜易受污染的各种开口管道如注水注气管 9、操作管道 15 在镜体 1中取出, 从而压缩了内窥镜 1的直径, 并对头部前端进行了内缩与改形, 临 床应用时套上与内窥镜外形相适应的隔离套囊 6, 并利用内窥镜头部压缩改形构成镜 体头部的 D字形端面斜坡 2、隔离套囊头部斜面 5所腾出的空间内,可置入原来镜体 中各种注水注气管 9、 操作管道 15的金属薄壁管 8, 并经弹性端帽 10固定在内窥 镜的前端部, 各开口管道的金属薄壁管 8与各自后面的软性注水注气管 9、 操作管道 15 相连, 发挥各自功能, 这时的内窥镜系统总的周长并不大于原来的内窥镜直径, 又因为人体腔道是软组织,本发明镜体 1与以前在镜体内部的各开口管道相连, 即使 不是完全的圆柱体, 也不会增大体腔的横向压力, 而且各注水注气管 9、操作管道 15 通过体腔的狭窄部时会被压瘪而节省空间。 图 1所示的内窥镜系统表达的是双钳道、 大钳孔的高性能电子结肠内窥镜的示意图,其截面的长轴在未被腔道挤压情况下略大 于相应原来电子结肠内窥镜直径, 但经挤压就小于原来电子结肠内窥镜直径,而且镜 体截面的短轴尺寸却远小于原有电子结肠内窥镜直径; 图 2C表明, 镜体 1的头部前 端进行了压缩与改形, 前端面呈 "D"字形, 此时的内窥镜镜体 1只由观察系统 (物 镜、 目镜、 传象束或 CCD等)、 传光系统、 方向操纵系统和包皮等构成, 由于取消了 占位较大的各注水注气管 9、操作管道 15, 而大大压缩了镜体 1的直径。镜体 1的物 镜前端面 3高于镜体 1的前端面其它部分,以利于该物镜前端面 3与隔离套囊前端内 表面 7紧密贴合, 以防杂光进入; 图 3表明, 隔离套囊 6是专为保护内窥镜镜体 1 而设计, 是用高度透明、 坚韧、 无毒和不能透过病毒、 细菌的材料制作(如医用透明 聚氯乙烯等), 其头部形状 5与镜体 1的变形头部形状 2相匹配, 其尺寸以能够适度 套进为宜, 后部则较镜体宽松, 长度视要求而定, 可以套在手柄近处, 也可以将手柄 全部包裹; 由图 4所知, 各开口管道是由传统内窥镜镜体中所取消的注水注气管 .9、 操作管道 15组成,其前端套进金属薄壁管 8与弹性端帽 10连为一体,前端与构成镜 体头部的 D字形端面的斜坡同弯曲度 (随弯就弯) 的金属薄壁管 8排列并按插在弹 性端帽 10上, 其后部与各自软性管相连接, 弹性端帽 10外形为短的圆柱体 (图As shown in Figs. 1 to 5, the endoscope system with a disposable sheath of the present invention includes a lens body 1 (Fig. 2C) and various open pipes such as a water injection and gas injection pipe 9, an operation pipe 15, and an endoscope system. An isolation cuff 6 (FIG. 3) made of transparent and tough material is also provided. The isolation cuff 6 is sleeved on the mirror body 1 without any open ducts inside. The air pipe 9 and the operation pipe 15 are connected to form an elastic end cap 10 (Figure 5). Fig. 1 shows that, since various open ducts, such as water injection and gas injection ducts 9 and operation ducts 15 that are susceptible to contamination of the endoscope, are taken out of the scope 1, the diameter of the endoscope 1 is compressed, and the front end of the head is compressed. Retraction and remodeling. In clinical applications, an isolation cuff 6 adapted to the shape of the endoscope is put on, and the D-shaped end slope of the head of the lens body is formed by compressing and deforming the endoscope lens. 2. The head of the isolation cuff. In the space vacated by the inclined surface 5, various thin water-injection and air-injection tubes 9 and metal thin-walled tubes 8 in the operation tube 15 can be placed in the original lens body, and fixed at the front end of the endoscope through the elastic end cap 10, each opening The metal thin-walled pipes 8 of the pipes are connected to the flexible water and gas injection pipes 9 and the operation pipes 15 at the back, and perform their respective functions.
