ENDOSCOPE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18646716 titled 'ENDOSCOPE
The abstract describes an endoscope designed to improve the cleanliness of a peripheral portion of an elevator. The endoscope includes an insertion part with a treatment tool insertion channel, an elevator housing portion with an elevator, and an ultrasonic transducer with multiple ultrasonic vibrators.
- The endoscope has a treatment tool insertion channel for improved cleanliness.
- An elevator housing portion with an elevator is included for accessibility.
- The ultrasonic transducer with multiple ultrasonic vibrators enhances cleaning capabilities.
- The endoscope design separates the elevator housing portion and cable insertion hole for efficiency.
- A signal cable connected to the ultrasonic transducers ensures proper functionality.
Potential Applications: - Cleaning and maintenance of elevator components - Inspection of hard-to-reach areas in various machinery
Problems Solved: - Difficulty in cleaning peripheral portions of elevators - Limited access to confined spaces in machinery
Benefits: - Improved cleanliness and maintenance of elevators - Enhanced inspection capabilities in industrial settings
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Endoscope for Elevator Maintenance This technology can be used in elevator maintenance companies, industrial facilities, and machinery inspection services to improve cleanliness and maintenance procedures.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the endoscope improve the cleanliness of elevator peripheral portions? The endoscope includes an ultrasonic transducer with multiple ultrasonic vibrators that enhance cleaning capabilities. 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond elevator maintenance? The technology can be used for inspection and maintenance of various machinery and industrial equipment.
Original Abstract Submitted
An endoscope that can improve the cleanliness of a peripheral portion of an elevator is provided. The endoscope includes an insertion part that is provided with a treatment tool insertion channel, a distal end portion main body, an elevator housing portion that is provided in the distal end portion main body and is open in a first direction, a treatment tool outlet that is open to an inside of the elevator housing portion and communicates with the treatment tool insertion channel, an elevator that is disposed inside the elevator housing portion, an ultrasonic transducer that has a plurality of ultrasonic vibrators, and a signal cable that is connected to the plurality of ultrasonic transducers. The elevator housing portion and a cable insertion hole through which the signal cable is inserted are disposed in different regions.
