Abstract
Description
湾曲部は、内視鏡の操作部に設けた湾曲操作部材である、例えば回転ノブを回動操作することによって所望する方向に湾曲動作する構成になっている。
なお、網状管は、湾曲駒組5を被覆し、湾曲ゴムは湾曲部3の最外層を構成する外皮であり、例えば網状管の外周に被覆される。
超弾性合金製の湾曲管は、管状部材にレーザ加工等を用いて例えば複数の部分円弧状スリットを設けることにより、複数の湾曲駒、連結ピン等を用いること無く簡易な構成で湾曲部を実現できる。そして、湾曲管に設けるスリットの間隔等を適宜設定することによって、湾曲半径の設定、湾曲しやすさの調整を行える。
なお、スリットの間隔を小さく設定することにより湾曲半径が小さくなり、湾曲しやすくなる。
しかしながら、前記湾曲部3は、最大湾曲状態に到達する以前であっても、図1Bに示すようにある湾曲角度以上になると隣接する湾曲駒の端縁同士が互いに当接して基端側から湾曲された複数の湾曲駒の湾曲半径が、図1Cで示したようにrになる。このため、湾曲部3内に挿通配置されているチャンネルチューブ8に処置具を導入した際、図2Aに示すように湾曲部3の湾曲角度が180度以上である状態、あるいは、図2Bに示すように湾曲角度が120度である状態に関わらず、チャンネルチューブ8内を移動していく処置具9は、湾曲部3内の略同位置(図中の中間湾曲駒5m4近傍)において処置具9の先端部9fがチャンネルチューブ8越しに特定のワイヤガイド7に当接する。
この結果、湾曲部3内に挿通配置されたチャンネルチューブ8においては、一部分の耐性だけが極端に劣化するおそれがある。
なお、以下の説明に用いる各図面は、模式的に示すものであり、各構成要素を図面上で認識可能な程度に示すために、各部材の寸法関係や縮尺等は、各構成要素に縮尺を異ならせてあるものであり、本発明は、これらの図に記載された構成要素の数量、構成要素の形状、構成要素の大きさの比率、および各構成要素の相対的な位置関係のみに限定されるものではない。
可撓管部17は、受動的に弾性変形するように構成された管状部材である。
上述した挿入部11内には、湾曲操作ワイヤ(図4、図5の符号21、22)、処置具挿通チャンネルを構成するチューブ体であるチャンネルチューブ(図7の符号18参照)、図示は省略するが撮像装置から延出する各種信号線、照明光学系を構成するライトガイドファイバ束あるいはLEDに電力を供給する電線等が挿通されている。
網状管は、湾曲部組(図4、図5の符号20参照)を被覆し、湾曲ゴムは、網状管を被覆する。湾曲ゴムは、湾曲部16の最外層を構成する外皮であり、例えばエラストマ製の管状弾性部材である。湾曲部16は、上下の二方向に湾曲する構成に限定されるものでは無く、上下方向及び左右方向を含めた四方向に湾曲する構成等であってもよい。
図4及び図5に示すように湾曲部組20は、先端側から順に第1湾曲駒組30と、管状湾曲管40と、第2湾曲駒組50と、を連設している。
なお、超弾性合金部材としては、Ni-Ti、βチタン、64チタン等が挙げられる。
これら複数のスリット41、42は、例えばレーザ加工等に形成されている。
なお、第1湾曲駒組30の曲げ剛性は、第2湾曲駒組50の曲げ剛性と同等である。
図6Aに示すように挿入部11に設けられた湾曲部16は、通常、ストレート状態であり、湾曲部組20も直線状態である。
図6Cに示すように上湾曲ワイヤ21の牽引に伴って第2湾曲駒組50と同等の曲げ剛性を有する第1湾曲駒組30が第1中間湾曲駒32側から湾曲を開始する。そして、隣接する湾曲駒32、32の端縁同士、湾曲駒32、31の端縁同士が互いに当接して、第1湾曲駒組30が最も湾曲された状態になる。
図7Aに示すようにチャンネルチューブ18は、第1湾曲駒組30内、管状湾曲管40内、第2湾曲駒組50内、可撓管部17内に挿通配置されている。チャンネルチューブ18は、上述した湾曲部16の湾曲形状の変化に伴って、挿通配置状態が直線形状から曲線的な形状に変形されていく。
なお、第3曲部R3は、管状湾曲管40が最も湾曲された状態になる以前、即ち、基端側の複数の第1のスリット41の開口端が当接状態になることによって出現する。
