    摘要: An endoscope control system for performing a bending operation in a disposable insertion endoscope, the endoscope control system including a control wheel connected to a wire drum for connection to a steering wire of the endoscope, whereby rotation of the control wheel controls the bending operation, and a multi-disc brake including a stack of at least three brake discs, wherein activation of the multi-disc brake changes the multi-disc brake from a released state to a braking state, a brake torque generated by the multi-disc brake in the braking state braking rotation of the control wheel, the brake torque in the released state being at least partially released.

    摘要: An endoscope including a control system including: a first control wheel connected to a first wire drum and to a first steering wire of the endoscope to control the bending operation in a first dimension, the first control wheel having a bearing surface; a second control wheel connected to a second wire drum and to a second steering wire to control the bending operation in a second dimension, the second control wheel having an outer bearing surface positioned farther from the axis of rotation than the bearing surface of the first control wheel; and an outer bearing element including an inner bearing surface positioned farther from the axis of rotation than the outer bearing surface of the second control wheel and abutting the outer bearing surface of the second control wheel so that rotation of the second control wheel is at least partly borne on the outer bearing element.
