Abstract

An endoscope device and a cable assembly thereof are provided. The cable assembly includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and a wire. The first substrate includes a first body and a first solder pad disposed on the first body. The second substrate is correspondingly disposed on the first substrate and includes a second body, a second solder pad disposed on the second body and corresponding to the first solder pad, and an accommodating portion corresponding to the second solder pad. The wire includes a soldering portion disposed in the accommodating portion. The first solder pad and the second solder pad are coupled to each other by at least one of a first solder and a second solder, and the soldering portion and the second solder pad are coupled to each other by the first solder.

Claims (11)

1. An endoscope device with a working channel, comprising:

an image sensor configured to observe an internal environment of a target; and

a cable assembly electrically connected to the image sensor and a plurality of conducting wires, the cable assembly comprising:

a first substrate connected to the image sensor and including a plurality of first solder pads formed on a first bottom end of the first substrate;

a second substrate including a plurality of receiving holes formed on a second bottom end of the second substrate, and the second substrate electrically connect to the plurality of first solder pads of the first substrate and the plurality of conducting wires via the plurality of receiving holes;

an inner lateral side surface formed by the first substrate and the second substrate, and the inner lateral side surface matching an outer surface of the working channel, wherein a center of circle of the first substrate or the second substrate is misaligned to a center of circle of the working channel; and

an outer lateral side surface being a stepped curved surface formed by the first substrate and the second substrate; wherein the plurality of receiving holes are recessed from a lower curved surface of the stepped curved surface formed by the second substrate, and a diameter of the second substrate is less than a diameter of the first substrate;

wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are coupled to each other, and a plurality of inner conductors of the conducting wires are soldered to the second substrate.

2. The endoscope device according to claim 1 , wherein shapes of the first substrate and the second substrate are both arc shaped, and radians of the first substrate and the second substrate are smaller than 2 π.

3. The endoscope device according to claim 1 , wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are connected by solders positioned and aligned with the plurality of first solder pads of the first substrate.

4. The endoscope device according to claim 1 , wherein the cable assembly has a symmetrical shape with respect to an axis of symmetry, and the image sensor is disposed on the axis of symmetry.
