In fields such as industrial testing, medical assistance, and equipment maintenance, endoscopes, as "visual detection tools", their performance directly affects observation efficiency and data accuracy. Traditional endoscopes often face problems such as limited lateral field of view, complex connections, and high operational thresholds. However, this industrial endoscope camera module equipped with a side - view design and a USB interface has shown significant advantages in practical applications through targeted technical optimizations. This article combines product parameters and functional characteristics to deeply analyze the practical value brought by side - view imaging and USB interface to endoscopes.
Traditional endoscopes mostly adopt front - view. When detecting lateral gaps, the side walls of pipelines and other scenes, problems such as narrow field of view and missing details are prone to occur. The side - view design accurately solves this core pain point through optical structure optimization, and with the upgrading of key parameters, realizes the dual improvement of observation range and data quality.
The module adopts a wide - angle design with both Horizontal Field of View (HFOV) and Vertical Field of View (VFOV) of 86°. Compared with the common 60° - 70° field of view of traditional side - view endoscopes, the field of view coverage is increased by about 20%. In the detection of the side inner wall of industrial pipelines, there is no need to frequently adjust the lens angle, and defects such as corrosion and cracks in the 360° range of the pipeline side can be captured at one time. In medical scenarios, the observation of lateral tissues such as the middle ear canal and the adjacent surface of teeth is more comprehensive, avoiding the risk of missed diagnosis caused by limited field of view. With the 700x700 resolution color imaging capability, details such as fine scratches and mucosal congestion can be clearly presented.
For narrow scenes such as internal gaps of precision machinery and micro - pipelines, the module adopts a separated design with a lens diameter of only 1.5mm, which is much smaller than the 2 - 3mm lens size of traditional endoscopes. This feature enables it to be easily inserted into channels with a diameter of more than 2mm, such as the lateral gap of automobile engine fuel injectors and the gap between electronic chip pins. At the same time, the short focal length of 0.418mm is combined with the focusing range of 5 - 50mm, which can still maintain clear imaging during close - range observation, meeting the detection needs of narrow spaces at different depths.
Side - view is prone to distortion due to optical principles, which affects size measurement and defect judgment. The module strictly controls the distortion within < - 11% through optical algorithm optimization, which is far better than the distortion level of more than 15% of some side - view endoscopes in the industry. In the size detection of industrial parts, it can accurately restore the actual shape and depth of the lateral groove. In medical diagnosis, it can truly reflect the lateral shape of tissues, providing doctors with reliable imaging basis and avoiding misjudgment caused by distortion.
Interface design directly affects the deployment efficiency and compatibility of endoscopes. Traditional endoscopes often rely on dedicated interfaces or complex drivers, increasing operational difficulty and equipment adaptation costs. The USB interface with a standardized protocol simplifies the whole process from connection to use, greatly reducing the practical threshold.
The module supports the UVC (Universal Video Class) protocol, and no dedicated driver needs to be installed when connected to computers, tablets and other devices, realizing plug - and - play. In the industrial production line inspection scenario, inspectors can quickly connect the module to a laptop and complete device startup and observation preparation within 30 seconds. In primary medical institutions, non - professional technicians can also operate it easily, reducing equipment debugging time and improving emergency detection efficiency.
The USB2.0 interface design ensures the stable transmission of high - definition video with a frame rate of 30FPS, while being compatible with mainstream operating systems and device types, including computers and industrial tablets with Windows, Linux, Android and other systems. Compared with the USB3.0 interface, its lower power consumption is suitable for long - term mobile detection. Compared with dedicated interfaces, the universality of USB2.0 can reduce equipment procurement costs, and there is no need to additionally upgrade hardware to adapt to the endoscope.
The small size of the USB interface, combined with the overall lightweight design of the module, enables it to be integrated into handheld detection devices. In scenarios such as outdoor equipment maintenance (such as the inspection of the side of bolts inside electric towers) and field scientific research sampling (such as the observation of biological samples in small pipelines), inspectors do not need to carry heavy dedicated hosts, and can complete observation and data recording only through portable devices, greatly improving the flexibility of mobile detection.
The advantages of side - view imaging and USB interface are not isolated, but form technical synergy with the core parameters of the module to maximize value in practical scenarios. For example, in industrial electronic component detection, the 1.5mm lens goes deep into the gap between chip pins, the 86° field of view covers the lateral solder joints, the 700x700 resolution captures solder bubbles, the USB interface quickly connects to the detection terminal, and the 30FPS frame rate ensures no motion blur in dynamic observation. Multiple parameters together ensure detection efficiency and accuracy.
In the field of medical assistance, low - distortion imaging restores the real shape of tissues, side - view captures lateral lesions in cavities, and the USB plug - and - play feature adapts to the rapid diagnosis process in outpatient clinics, providing reliable visualization tools for departments such as otolaryngology and stomatology. The application of SMT technology and AA process ensures the stability of the module in long - term high - frequency use, further strengthening its practical value in various scenarios.
This endoscope camera module breaks through the traditional observation blind zone through the side - view design, and improves scene adaptability with the core advantages of 86° wide angle, ultra - fine lens and low distortion. It simplifies the connection process with the help of USB interface and UVC protocol, and enhances operational convenience with plug - and - play, high compatibility and lightweight. The technical synergy and parameter optimization of the two enable it to show significant practical value in industrial detection, medical assistance and other fields, providing reliable hardware support for accurate observation and efficient operation.
