Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine mechanische Vorrichtung zum Krümmen von flexiblen schlauchförmigen Geräten.The invention relates to a mechanical device for bending of flexible tubular devices.
Bei den immer feiner werdenden Endoskopen z. B. der endovaskulä ren oder der Mikroneurochirurgie oder auch in der Technik ist es schwierig, diese beim Einfahren in räumlich komplizierte Örtlichkeiten zu lenken. Herkömmliche flexible Endoskope z. B. der Bronchoskopie oder Gastroskopie besitzen koplizierte platz aufwendige Lenkmechanismen wie z. B. in DE-OS 35 04 824, DE-OS 41 02 211, DE-OS 37 34 979, DE-OS 41 36 737 oder DE-OS 37 07 787 gezeigt. Flexible Endoskope der oben genannten chirurgischen Disziplinen oder Katheter können aus Platzgründen einen solchen Lenkmechanismus nicht besitzen. Dieser ist aber oft nötig.With the ever finer endoscopes z. B. the endovascular ren or microneurosurgery or in technology it is difficult to get this into spatially complicated To control locations. Conventional flexible endoscopes e.g. B. bronchoscopy or gastroscopy have duplicated space elaborate steering mechanisms such. B. in DE-OS 35 04 824, DE-OS 41 02 211, DE-OS 37 34 979, DE-OS 41 36 737 or DE-OS 37 07 787 shown. Flexible endoscopes of the above surgical Disciplines or catheters can be used for reasons of space Do not have steering mechanism. But this is often necessary.
Der vorgelegten Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, einen platzsparenden Lenkmechanismus für solche flexiblen schlauch förmigen Geräte zu entwickeln. Der erzielbare Vorteil der Erfindung liegt in der platzsparenden Bauweise durch Verwendung bestimmter elastischer Materialien. Diese können z. B. soge nannte superelastische Titan-Nickel-Legierungen sein.The presented invention addresses the problem, one space-saving steering mechanism for such flexible hose to develop shaped devices. The achievable advantage of Invention lies in the space-saving design through use certain elastic materials. These can e.g. B. so-called called super elastic titanium-nickel alloys.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 4 angegeben. Die in Anspruch 2 angegebene Ausführung erlaubt es, das Krümmen durch Bowdenzüge oder Fäden ferngesteuert auszuführen, die in Anspruch 3 das Gerät an beliebigen Stellen zu krümmen und die in Anspruch 4 eine bau technisch einfache Form der Vorrichtung zu erstellen, die sich nur an einem Ort des Gerätes befindet.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the Claims 2 to 4 specified. The specified in claim 2 Execution allows bending by Bowden cables or threads remote control to run the device in claim 3 to bend any places and the construction in claim 4 technically simple form of the device to create the only in one place of the device.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel mit zwei Rohren ist in der Zeichnung im Längsschnitt dargestellt. Fig. 1 zeigt die Vorrichtung im zusammengeschobenen Grundzustand, Fig. 2 im auseinandergezoge nen Krümmungszustand. Die Zwischenräume der Rohre sind zur besseren Darstellung sehr großzügig dargestellt.An embodiment with two tubes is shown in the drawing in longitudinal section. Fig. 1 shows the device in the compressed basic state, Fig. 2 in the exploded NEN state of curvature. The spaces between the pipes are shown very generously for better illustration.
Das schlauchförmige Gerät 1 befindet sich in dem Beispiel innerhalb der Krümmungsvorrichtung. Die Krümmungsvorrichtung besteht hier aus einem vorgebogenen Rohr 2. Dieses ist aus einem z. B. superelastischen Material wie der Titan-Nickel- Legierung gefertigt. Das Rohr 2 gibt dadurch dem weniger elastischen Rohr 3 beim Einschieben in dieses nach. Es ist zum Einschieben kein bedeutender Kraftaufwand nötig.In the example, the tubular device 1 is located within the curvature device. The curvature here consists of a pre-bent tube 2 . This is from a z. B. super elastic material such as the titanium-nickel alloy. The tube 2 gives way to the less elastic tube 3 when inserted into it. No significant effort is required to push it in.
Durch Ziehen an einem Faden oder Bowdenzug 4 kann das Rohr 2 aus dem Rohr 1 gezogen werden. Das Rohr 2 geht dann wieder in seine ursprünglich vorgekrümmte Form über. Das noch elastische re schlauchförmige Gerät 1 wird hierbei mitgekrümmt. Durch Ziehen an dem Faden 5 kann das Rohr 2 wieder eingezogen und die Vorrichtung in ihren Grundzustand gebracht werden. Die Faden durchführungen sind hier als Ösen 6 dargestellt.The tube 2 can be pulled out of the tube 1 by pulling a thread or Bowden cable 4 . The tube 2 then reverts to its originally curved shape. The still elastic re tubular device 1 is also curved here. By pulling the thread 5 , the tube 2 can be retracted and the device can be brought into its basic state. The thread feedthroughs are shown here as eyelets 6 .
Durch hier nicht gezeigte Fäden kann die Vorrichtung an den gewünschten Ort des schlauchförmigen Gerätes gebracht werden. Es können sich auch mehrere dieser Vorrichtungen an einem schlauchförmigen Gerät befinden. Auch könnte sich eine gebogene Grundform im Einsatz gerade biegen, oder können sich auch mehr als zwei vorgebogene Rohre in einer Vorrichtung befinden.By means of threads not shown here, the device can be attached to the be brought to the desired location of the tubular device. There can also be several of these devices on one tubular device. Also could be a curved one Bend the basic shape in use, or can do more as two pre-bent tubes in one device.
