MULTI-POSITIONING CAMERA SYSTEM AND CAMERA SYSTEM

To enable the observation objects at multiple points which cannot be directly imaged to be imaged by at least one camera.SOLUTION: A multi-positioning camera system comprises: an industrial use endoscope equipped with an imaging element at the tip of a soft part having flexibility; a reel mechanism for winding the base end side of the soft part around a reel drum and rotating the reel drum in forward and reverse to unwind and take up the soft part; a support pipe for inserting the soft part through from the tip in the unwinding direction and supporting it; a distributor for switching the tip of the soft part unwound from a support pipe opening on the insertion tip side of the support pipe to one of a plurality of different positions and arranging it there; and a plurality of branch pipes having a receive hole arranged in correspondence to each of the plurality of different positions and observation window parts communicating to these receive holes and arranged at different positions, and accepting the soft part from the receive holes.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】直接撮像できない複数箇所の観察対象を少なくとも１つのカメラで撮像できる。【解決手段】マルチポジショニングカメラシステムは、可撓性を有する軟性部の先端部に撮像素子を備えた工業用内視鏡と、前記軟性部の基端側をリールドラムに巻回し、このリールドラムを正逆回転させて前記軟性部を送出および巻き取るリール機構と、前記軟性部を送出方向の先端から挿通して支持する支持パイプと、前記支持パイプの挿通先端側の支持パイプ開口部から繰り出される前記軟性部の先端部を異なる複数の位置のいずれかに切り替えて配置する分配器と、前記異なる複数の位置のそれぞれに対応して配置される受入孔とこの受入孔に通じ、異なる位置に配置される観察窓部とを有し、前記受入孔から前記軟性部を受け入れる複数の分岐パイプと、を備える。【選択図】図２
