Capsule endoscope
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a capsule endoscope, comprising: an enclosure, including an enclosure main body portion and a first end portion, a second end portion; an image acquisition component, disposed within the first end portion; a circuit processing component, disposed within the enclosure main body portion; and an information sending component, the information sending component including an antenna, the antenna including an antenna arm fixed to the inner wall of the enclosure main body portion, or the inner wall of the enclosure main body portion and the inner wall of the second end portion, the antenna arm connected to the image acquisition component and/or the circuit processing component. The capsule endoscope has excellent internal heat management performance.
1 . A capsule endoscope, comprising:
an enclosure, comprising an enclosure main body portion, a first end portion and a second end portion;
an image acquisition component, comprising a camera and an illumination device, disposed in the first end portion;
a circuit processing component, comprising a processor, an image accelerator, a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), an accelerometer, a six-axis sensor, a light sensor, and an infrared sensor, disposed in the enclosure main body portion; and
an information sending component, wherein the information sending component comprising an antenna, the antenna comprising an antenna arm fixed on an inner wall of the enclosure main body portion or on the inner wall of the enclosure main body portion and an inner wall of the second end portion, and the antenna arm is connected to the image acquisition component and/or the circuit processing component,
wherein the surface of the antenna arm is coated with an electrically insulating and thermally conductive material.
2 . The capsule endoscope of claim 1 , wherein the antenna arm is attached to the inner wall surface of the enclosure main body portion, or to the inner wall of the enclosure main body portion and the inner wall surface of the second end portion, forming a protruding structure.
3 . The capsule endoscope of claim 1 , wherein the inner wall surface of the enclosure main body portion, or the inner wall of the enclosure main body portion and the inner wall surface of the second end portion, not covered by the antenna arm are coated with the electrically insulating and thermally conductive material.
4 . The capsule endoscope of claim 3 , wherein after being coated with the electrically insulating and thermally conductive material, the inner surface of the enclosure main body portion, or the inner surfaces of the enclosure main body portion and the inner wall surface of the second end portion form a smooth structure with a uniform height and no protrusions.
5 . The capsule endoscope of claim 4 , wherein the thermally conductive plate connected to the antenna arm is arranged on the surface of the electrically insulating and thermally conductive material.
6 . The capsule endoscope of claim 1 , wherein the antenna arm is connected to the image acquisition component and/or the circuit processing component through a thermally conductive plate.
7 . The capsule endoscope of claim 1 , wherein the capsule endoscope further comprises a battery, and the antenna arm is connected to the battery through a thermally conductive plate.
8 . The capsule endoscope of claim 1 , wherein a thermal insulation material layer is provided between the antenna arm and the enclosure.
9 . The capsule endoscope of claim 1 , wherein the capsule endoscope further comprises a wireless charging component and a battery, the wireless charging component is arranged in the second end portion and electrically connected to the circuit processing component, and charges the battery through the circuit processing component; and the capsule endoscope further comprises a thermally conductive plate connecting the antenna arm and the wireless charging component.
