Description

Medical apparatus and instruments, endoscope overtube, endoscope apparatus
Technical field
Carry out medical apparatus and instruments, endoscope overtube, the endoscope apparatus that draw operations makes the bending mechanism of the bending section flexure operation that the insertion section has thereby the present invention relates to have to running through the bending operation line that is inserted in the serpentine pipe.
Background technology
Usually, the insertion section is that soft endoscope constitutes mainly and has: the insertion section, and it is connected with leading section, bending section and flexible pipe portion successively from front; And the operating portion that is located at the base end side of this insertion section.
If an example is shown, then bending section constitutes through connecting a plurality of curved block.The inner surface of the curved block foremost that is positioned at bending section be set with respectively with the bending operation line of usefulness up and down with about the corresponding line of bending operation line used bear portion.
The end of each bending operation line is fixed on each line integratedly through scolding tin etc. and bears in the portion.The for example middle part of each bending operation line is separately fixed on the belt wheel, and said belt wheel can pivot rotatably and be bearing in the operating portion main body that constitutes operating portion.
Each bending operation line runs through and is inserted in by close in the serpentine pipe that helical member etc. constitutes.The not shown serpentine pipe that the front end of serpentine pipe is fixed on the inner surface that for example is fixed in curved block bears in the portion, and the other end is fixed on the serpentine pipe that is fixed in the operating portion main body integratedly and bears in the portion.In addition, the serpentine pipe portion of bearing that is fixed on the operating portion main body is fixing integratedly through the other end of scolding tin and serpentine pipe.
In the endoscope of said structure, when operation is located at crooked knob on the operating portion when making the belt wheel rotation, be fixed on each bending operation line on the belt wheel be pulled, lax, thereby bending section is changed to the case of bending of expectation.
Here; When for make the crooked and prolonged and repeated traction that runs through the bending operation line that is inserted in the insertion section of bending section, when lax; The elongation of bending operation line; Perhaps the total length of serpentine pipe is owing to the compression stress that receives from the bending operation line is shunk, thereby the bending operation line becomes the state of relative absent-mindedness.
So can produce following unfavorable condition etc.: the bending change of bending section can't be followed the operation of crooked knob; Perhaps serpentine pipe is owing to the compression stress that receives from the bending operation line is out of shape; For example the adaptation of the base end side of serpentine pipe improves; Another distolateral being formed on that is in serpentine pipe is fixed in the angle of bend of bending section that serpentine pipe bears the position of portion and is become bigger than the angle of bend of original bending section, thereby the strength of traction bending operation line becomes heavy.
Cause the bending change of bending section can't follow the unfavorable condition of the operation of crooked knob in order to eliminate the state that becomes relative absent-mindedness owing to the bending operation line, the lax device of removing of the operating line in the endoscope of the absent-mindedness that can remove the operating line system for example has been shown in the real fair 4-11687 communique of Japan.
Lax removing at this operating line forms following structures in the device: be provided with first on the part in guide sheath and regulate parts; And; This first regulate be provided with on parts with the mode that can move with respect to the length direction of guide sheath with this first regulate the parts engagement the second adjusting parts; The variation of the position of engagement through both changes guide sheath length, can eliminate the lax of operating line system.
On the other hand, in order to eliminate the unfavorable condition that causes the serpentine pipe distortion owing to the compression stress that receives from the bending operation line, it is also known for for example through using diameter to constitute the method for serpentine pipe than the big helical member of diameter dimension of the helical member that constitutes serpentine pipe.
So; Because the diameter dimension of helical member constitutes particle size; Thereby the intensity of the strength ratio of serpentine pipe serpentine pipe in the past significantly improves, even for example contact and produce under the situation of compression stress with serpentine pipe at the bending operation line, the cardinal extremity that also can eliminate serpentine pipe is by unfavorable conditions such as conquassation.
But, in recent years, be accompanied by a plurality ofization of sending aquaporin, a plurality ofization of treatment instrument passage or the thin footpathization of endoscope, run through the filling rate that is inserted in the inner matter in the insertion section and improve.Therefore, serve as reasons with the space in the expansion insertion section, expectation makes the line footpath of the helical member that constitutes serpentine pipe become thin footpath once more.
The serpentine pipe that directly becomes the structure in thin footpath for the line that makes helical member can be avoided following unfavorable condition: running through with high fill-ratio in the insertion section that is inserted with inner matter when the bending operation line is compressed power, because compression stress and for example desire crooked serpentine pipe and contact and unfavorable conditions such as distortion with other inner matter.
But; Because the filling rate of inner matter is low in the operating portion main body; Therefore for example be provided under the intravital situation of operating portion master with the straight line states, can guarantee to be pulled the gap between the inner peripheral surface of outer peripheral face and serpentine pipe of bending operation line of operation at serpentine pipe.Therefore, even under the situation of bending operation line of drawing times without number, relax, owing to be that the bending operation line is difficult to and the serpentine pipe contacting structure, so the generation of compression stress is less.
Relative therewith, have bending section and be provided under the intravital situation of operating portion master at for example serpentine pipe, the contact site that the outer peripheral face of the bending operation line of operation contacts with the inner peripheral surface of serpentine pipe can appear being pulled.
Therefore, when drawing, relaxing the bending operation line times without number, might apply compression stress and produce above-mentioned unfavorable condition serpentine pipe from the bending operation line.
