Abstract: A hard-tube endoscope, comprising an insertion tube (1), a camera (5), a light source (6) and a handle (2). The camera (5) and the light source (6) are disposed on an end face of an insertion end of the insertion tube (1), and a non-insertion end of the insertion tube (1) is connected to the handle (2). The insertion tube (1) further comprises a bending portion (13), the bending portion (13) being located at a part, locatable inside a human body, on the insertion tube (1). A control portion (3) configured to control the bending portion (13) to be bent is disposed on the handle (2). The control portion (3) comprises an inner ring sleeve (32) and an outer ring sleeve (31). The outer ring sleeve (31) is engaged with the inner ring sleeve (32) by means of threads. The outer ring sleeve (31) can rotate only around the axis of the handle (2) with respect to the handle (2), and the inner ring sleeve (32) can axially move only along the axis of the insertion tube (1) with respect to the handle (2).
