Portable ear-nose-throat endoscope

Abstract

The invention relates to a portable ENT endoscope. According to an exemplary embodiment, an endoscope may include: a main body portion including a display portion and a handle portion connected to the display portion; a lens assembly having a first end detachably connected to the back of the display portion a probe assembly detachably connected to the second end of the lens assembly; and a light source assembly including a light emitting device and a power cord for powering the light emitting device, the power cord being connected to the main body portion to receive power, The light emitting device is connected to the probe assembly to provide a light source to the probe assembly. The endoscope has a simple structure, is convenient to operate, and can conveniently replace components such as a lens and a probe, so as to meet the needs of different application occasions. In addition, through the design of an external light source, the heat dissipation characteristics of the device are also improved. Therefore, the endoscope of the present invention is especially suitable for application in ENT inspection and other fields.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of medical instruments, and more particularly relates to a portable endoscopic device for ENT inspection. Background technique [0002] Traditional endoscopic equipment for ENT inspection generally includes a huge signal acquisition and processing device and an image display device, which are generally implemented based on a computer, and the probe is connected to the signal acquisition and processing device through a long optical fiber. Such endoscopic equipment is expensive and inconvenient to move, and is only suitable for use in hospitals or clinics. [0003] With the development of optoelectronic technology, the miniaturization of ENT endoscopes has been realized. For example, the invention patent application 201010144722.6 entitled "Disinfection-free portable ear inspection endoscope", the utility model patent application 201220151797.1 entitled "A portable ENT multifunctional Invention paten...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

All-in-one design achieves miniaturization, but also brings many limitations in functionality

For example, some of its components, such as lenses, cannot be easily replaced to suit different inspection needs

Moreover, due to the compact structure, for example, the light source is also integrated in the main structure, so the heat dissipation effect is poor, and it is easy to generate heat, etc.

In addition, the display is generally connected to the main body through a hinge, which needs to be rotated and unfolded when in use, and needs to be folded and folded for easy portability after inspection, so it is inconvenient to operate
