Description of the invention: [Technical field of invention] The present invention relates to a design of a capsule endoscope detachment control structure, and more particularly to a capsule endoscope detachment control structure disposed in a digestive tract endoscope device . [Prior Art] The endoscope device is mainly applied to the detection of the digestive tract in medicine, and enters the digestive tract of the human body through the internal mirror device to directly obtain the image signal in the digestive tract for medical diagnosis by medical personnel. At present, the more commonly used endoscope systems are electronic endoscopes, but electronic endoscopes are expensive, and repeated use may cause cross-infection, and the detection sites are limited by the esophagus, stomach, and large intestine. For example, the Patent No. 200810727 discloses an endoscope device for intercepting at least one image and providing an electronic device for display, comprising a light source module, a framing lens, a light sensing component, and a circuit. a substrate, a flexible cable and a connection module. The light source module emits a light beam to the outside, and the framing lens collects the reflected light of the object from the outside to form an optical image. The light sensing component generates an electronic signal according to the image, and the electronic signal is processed by the signal and sent to the display. In order to improve the shortcomings of the electronic endoscope, a capsule endoscope device has been developed, and the capsule endoscope of the device at the front end is detached by the detaching mechanism when needed, and the detected image signal is transmitted in a manner of wireless signal transmission. , 5 200940024 • « To improve the limitations of the detection range of electronic endoscopes. For example, in the European Patent No. EP1041919 and the US Patent No. 6,842,213, respectively, the capsule endoscope is combined with the clamp detachment mechanism or the hydraulic detachment mechanism, so that the capsule endoscope can be detached from the capsule endoscope device. . SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: However, in the prior art, the jig detachment mechanism is relatively complicated in design and is relatively easy to be damaged in use. The water pressure detachment mechanism utilizes a method of injecting a water pressure to disengage the capsule endoscope. Although the structure is relatively simple, the water discharged from the user is left in the digestive tract of the user, which may cause the subject to feel uncomfortable or cause health and hygiene. Concerns. In addition, the use of open flushing method is less reliable for the detachment effect of the capsule endoscope, and the amount of water injected is not strange and is not easy to control. Accordingly, the main object of the present invention is to provide a capsule endoscope detachment control structure having a relatively simple structural design, and the controller can control the detachment of the capsule endoscope by injecting a fluid to the fluid control expansion mechanism for use in the desired The endoscope of the intestine portion is detected to disengage the capsule endoscope at the front end. Another object of the present invention is to provide a technical means for allowing a subject to feel physiologically comfortable when performing endoscopic detection. The capsule endoscope is detached via a fluid injection of the content type, and the fluid does not remain in the subject. Another object of the present invention is to provide a capsule endoscope detachment control structure that can determine the completion of the detachment operation and the pressure change caused by the moment when the capsule endoscope is detached as a feedback signal for the detachment of the capsule. In order to judge whether the disengagement action is completed or not. Technical Solution for Solving the Problems of the Invention: The technical means adopted by the present invention to solve the problems of the prior art is a capsule endoscope detachment control structure provided in a digestive tract endoscope device. The capsule endoscope detachment control structure is disposed between the flexible steering tube and the capsule endoscope holding structure in the digestive tract endoscope device, and includes a fluid delivery tube and a fluid control expansion mechanism. The fluid control tube is connected to the fluid injection space of the control mechanism and the fluid control expansion mechanism to send a fluid through the fluid delivery tube to the fluid injection space of the fluid control expansion mechanism, and the fluid control expansion mechanism is subjected to the injection. The fluid pressure exerts an urging force applied to the capsule endoscope to disengage the capsule endoscope from the capsule endoscope holding structure. The present invention compares the effects of the prior art: through the technical means adopted by the present invention, the capsule endoscope of the digestive tract endoscope device can be separated from the control structure in a simple structure, which is not only easy to produce, but also has the effect of reducing cost. And it is less susceptible to damage in use. Compared with the conventional design, the invention adopts the design of the fluid delivery tube and the fluid control expansion mechanism to avoid physiological discomfort to the subject due to the discharge of water, and can also reduce the psychological anxiety of the subject. And a sense of rejection. It is also possible to reduce the health concerns of the subject from the fact that the subject is less likely to be hygienic than the conventional method in which the water pressure is detached from the conventional water pressure, and the problem of hygiene caused by microorganisms contained in the discharged water is avoided. The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described by the following examples and the accompanying drawings. [Embodiment]
