Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及医疗器械领域,具体涉及一种自准直姿态调整的胶囊内窥镜。The invention relates to the field of medical instruments, in particular to a capsule endoscope with self-collimating attitude adjustment.
背景技术Background technique
目前,使用胶囊内窥镜对人体消化道进行常规检查,是市场上较为先进的一种诊查手段。和传统的胃镜检查相比,胶囊内窥镜具有无需麻醉,不用插管,无痛无创,无交叉感染风险等优势,可以大大减轻患者的痛苦。At present, the routine inspection of the human digestive tract using a capsule endoscope is a relatively advanced diagnostic method in the market. Compared with traditional gastroscopy, capsule endoscopy has the advantages of no need for anesthesia, no intubation, painless and non-invasive, and no risk of cross-infection, which can greatly reduce the pain of patients.
在胶囊内窥镜进行检查时,需要外部控制系统调整胶囊内窥镜的位置和姿态来拍摄胃壁图像进行诊断分析。磁控胶囊内窥镜是胶囊内窥镜主动控制的一种方式,其通过改变人体外部磁体的方位和姿态改变空间中磁场分布,从而驱动含有永磁体的胶囊内窥镜发生位姿变化,是目前常用的控制手段。When the capsule endoscope is inspected, an external control system is required to adjust the position and posture of the capsule endoscope to capture images of the gastric wall for diagnostic analysis. Magnetically controlled capsule endoscope is a method of active control of capsule endoscope. It changes the magnetic field distribution in space by changing the orientation and attitude of the external magnet of the human body, thereby driving the capsule endoscope containing permanent magnets to change its position and orientation. It is a commonly used control method at present.
然而目前的磁控胶囊内窥镜在控制上非常复杂,且控制精度有限。由于外部磁场对胶囊内窥镜的磁力和磁矩存在耦合作用,所以在改变磁力的同时,胶囊受到的磁矩也会发生变化,从而使得胶囊位置和姿态的控制难度大大增加。同时,为了实现胶囊内窥镜在悬浮状态下的闭环控制,一般需要在体外装置上使用多磁源(一般是永磁体加电磁线圈的组合),并利用磁传感定位等技术获取胶囊内窥镜的位姿信息,从而进行有效控制。多磁源下,胶囊内窥镜的控制难度更高,同时由于获取的胶囊内窥镜位姿信息精确度有限,并存在延时校正的问题,因而难以达到很高的控制精度。However, the current magnetically controlled capsule endoscope is very complicated to control, and the control accuracy is limited. Due to the coupling effect of the external magnetic field on the magnetic force and magnetic moment of the capsule endoscope, when the magnetic force is changed, the magnetic moment received by the capsule will also change, which greatly increases the difficulty of controlling the position and attitude of the capsule. At the same time, in order to realize the closed-loop control of the capsule endoscope in the suspended state, it is generally necessary to use multiple magnetic sources (usually a combination of permanent magnets and electromagnetic coils) on the in vitro device, and use magnetic sensing positioning and other technologies to obtain the pose information of the capsule endoscope, so as to carry out effective control. With multiple magnetic sources, the control of the capsule endoscope is more difficult. At the same time, due to the limited accuracy of the acquired capsule endoscope pose information and the problem of delay correction, it is difficult to achieve high control accuracy.
CN201310133128.0公开了一种用于消化道内窥镜检查的胶囊机器人,包括胶囊外壳、设置在胶囊外壳内部的内置永磁体、齿轮传动机构、影像采集单元,以及可伸出胶囊外壳的回转腿;其中内置永磁体可在外置永磁体的驱动下旋转;齿轮传动机构的输入端与内置永磁体相连,用于将旋转运动转换为绕着胶囊机器人主轴线的回转运动,其输出端与回转腿构成移动副,用于驱动回转腿以改变其伸出胶囊外壳的长度;影像采集单元用于拍摄被检部位,并将所拍摄的影像发送至影像接收处理装置,由此执行内窥镜检查过程。还公开了相应的运动控制系统。通过上述发明,能够灵活执行胶囊内窥镜的主动控制过程,同时具备主动行走、可执行肠道扩充和驱动力供应持久等特点。CN201310133128.0 discloses a capsule robot for gastrointestinal endoscopy, including a capsule shell, a built-in permanent magnet arranged inside the capsule shell, a gear transmission mechanism, an image acquisition unit, and a rotating leg that can extend out of the capsule shell; wherein the built-in permanent magnet can rotate under the drive of an external permanent magnet; the input end of the gear transmission mechanism is connected with the built-in permanent magnet for converting the rotational motion into a rotary motion around the main axis of the capsule robot. The rotating leg is driven to change the length extending out of the capsule shell; the image acquisition unit is used to photograph the inspected part, and sends the photographed image to the image receiving and processing device, thereby performing the endoscopic inspection process. A corresponding motion control system is also disclosed. Through the above invention, the active control process of the capsule endoscope can be flexibly executed, and at the same time, it has the characteristics of active walking, executable intestinal expansion, and long-lasting driving force supply.

After the capsule endoscope is controlled to move to the first position to be tested by the capsule control device, the capsule endoscope can send the detected digestive tract information of the first position to be tested to the control terminal and display it, enabling the medical staff to clearly observe the condition of the digestive tract of the subject to be tested. Then move the capsule endoscope to the second position to be tested for detection, and send the digestive tract information to the control terminal, so that all the positions to be tested can be detected, and the control terminal can also display the position of the capsule endoscope, so the movement of the capsule endoscope can be controlled more accurately and conveniently.

The first micro motor drives the first rotating shaft to rotate through the first synchronous belt, and the first rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the first rotating collar and can drive the first rotating collar to rotate together. The second micro motor drives the second rotating shaft to rotate through the second synchronous belt. The second rotating shaft is hinged to the first rotating collar, and does not affect the movement of the first rotating collar. The bevel gear set includes a driving bevel gear and a driven bevel gear. The driving bevel gear is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft and can rotate synchronously with the second rotating shaft. The driven bevel gear and the driving bevel gear can cooperate to rotate through gear meshing. The third rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the driven bevel gear, and will rotate around the axis when driven by the driven bevel gear. The third rotation shaft is connected to the first rotation collar through a shaft hole, and the third rotation shaft will revolve around the axis of the first rotation shaft along with the first rotation sleeve. The outside of the second rotating collar is fixedly connected to the third rotating shaft, and the inside is fixedly connected to the permanent magnet.
进一步地,所述第一微型电机和所述第二微型电机通过转速配合,能够驱动所述永磁体绕第一轴线和第二轴线转动。Further, the first micromotor and the second micromotor can drive the permanent magnet to rotate around the first axis and the second axis through speed cooperation.
进一步地,所述第一旋转轴和所述第二旋转轴沿轴向对心装配,两者的轴线与所述第一轴线重合。Further, the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are aligned axially, and their axes coincide with the first axis.
进一步地,所述第二轴线与所述第三旋转轴的轴线重合,并与所述第一轴线始终垂直。所述第二轴线能跟随所述第三旋转轴绕所述第一轴线转动。Further, the second axis coincides with the axis of the third rotating shaft and is always perpendicular to the first axis. The second axis can follow the third rotation axis to rotate around the first axis.
进一步地,所述万向转动模块实现了所述永磁体两个姿态自由度的控制,能够使所述永磁体的磁极朝向相对初始状态偏转任意角度。Further, the universal rotation module realizes the control of the two degrees of freedom of the permanent magnet, and can make the magnetic pole of the permanent magnet deflect at any angle relative to the initial state.
在本发明的一个实施例中,提供了一种胶囊内窥镜自准直姿态调整的操控方法。在外磁场作用下,所述永磁体的磁极朝向会始终保持与外磁场方向一致。初始状态下,胶囊外壳1的轴线与所述永磁体的磁极方向重合,在竖直方向的强磁场作用下保持竖立。关闭外磁场后,通过所述第一微型电机和所述第二微型电机驱动所述永磁体的磁极相对胶囊外壳的轴线偏转预设角度。电机停止工作,重新产生竖直方向的强磁场,使所述永磁体的磁极方向重新偏回竖直方向,带动胶囊外壳实现预设角度的偏转,从而完成姿态控制。In one embodiment of the present invention, a control method for self-collimation posture adjustment of a capsule endoscope is provided. Under the action of the external magnetic field, the orientation of the magnetic poles of the permanent magnets will always be consistent with the direction of the external magnetic field. In the initial state, the axis of the capsule shell 1 coincides with the direction of the magnetic poles of the permanent magnet, and remains upright under the action of a strong magnetic field in the vertical direction. After the external magnetic field is turned off, the magnetic poles of the permanent magnets are driven by the first micromotor and the second micromotor to deflect at a preset angle relative to the axis of the capsule shell. The motor stops working, and a strong vertical magnetic field is regenerated, so that the magnetic pole direction of the permanent magnet is deflected back to the vertical direction again, and the capsule shell is driven to deflect at a preset angle, thereby completing attitude control.
进一步地,由于所述永磁体的磁极方向会被强磁场自动校准,因而本发明提供的胶囊内窥镜姿态偏转精度将由电机的控制精度决定,具有控制简便、精度高的优势。Further, since the magnetic pole direction of the permanent magnet will be automatically calibrated by the strong magnetic field, the attitude deflection accuracy of the capsule endoscope provided by the present invention will be determined by the control accuracy of the motor, which has the advantages of simple control and high precision.
在本发明的一个实施例中,提供了一种胶囊内窥镜空间位置的操控方法。两个相同的圆形电磁线圈在竖直方向间隔一定距离正对放置,可以在中间区域产生随开随停,强度可控的磁场。水平方向上,磁场具有中心强、四周弱的特点。在磁场作用下,所述永磁体将始终稳定在磁场的正中间位置,因而可以通过水平移动电磁线圈来控制胶囊内窥镜的水平位置。竖直方向上,磁场具有中间弱、两端强的特点。在竖直方向上,应采用闭环控制,通过改变电磁线圈的高度或者调整电磁线圈中的电流强度来控制胶囊内窥镜的竖直位置。In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for manipulating the spatial position of a capsule endoscope is provided. Two identical circular electromagnetic coils are placed facing each other at a certain distance in the vertical direction, which can generate a magnetic field with controllable strength that can be turned on and off in the middle area. In the horizontal direction, the magnetic field has the characteristics of strong center and weak surrounding. Under the action of the magnetic field, the permanent magnet will always be stable in the middle of the magnetic field, so the horizontal position of the capsule endoscope can be controlled by horizontally moving the electromagnetic coil. In the vertical direction, the magnetic field has the characteristics of being weak in the middle and strong at both ends. In the vertical direction, closed-loop control should be adopted to control the vertical position of the capsule endoscope by changing the height of the electromagnetic coil or adjusting the current intensity in the electromagnetic coil.
进一步地,本发明提供的胶囊内窥镜水平位置直接由磁场中心位置决定,具有很高的控制精度。同时,本发明提供的胶囊内窥镜水平位置变化不会影响竖直方向的控制,从而使竖直位置的控制难度大大降低。Furthermore, the horizontal position of the capsule endoscope provided by the present invention is directly determined by the center position of the magnetic field, which has high control precision. At the same time, the change of the horizontal position of the capsule endoscope provided by the present invention will not affect the control of the vertical direction, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty of controlling the vertical position.
以下将结合附图对本发明的构思、具体结构及产生的技术效果作进一步说明,以充分地了解本发明的目的、特征和效果。The idea, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present invention.

与现有技术相比,本发明的有益效果在于,通过对胶囊内窥镜空间位置和姿态偏转分别进行控制,避免了磁力和磁矩耦合的问题。本发明设计的万向转动模块配合自准直姿态调整的操控方法,使得胶囊内窥镜的姿态偏转精度直接由电机的控制精度决定,具有控制简便、精度高的优势。本发明提供的空间位置操控方法使得胶囊内窥镜水平位置直接由磁场中心位置决定,具有很高的控制精度,同时大大降低了竖直位置的控制难度。Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effect of avoiding the problem of magnetic force and magnetic moment coupling by separately controlling the spatial position and attitude deflection of the capsule endoscope.

如图1、图2和图4所示,万向转动模块6是由第一微型电机601、第二微型电机602,第一同步带603,第二同步带604,第一旋转轴605,第二旋转轴606,第三旋转轴607,锥齿轮组608,第一旋转套环609和第二旋转套环610组成。第一微型电机601和第二微型电机602均固定在胶囊外壳1内的下隔板上,并安装了电机磁屏蔽罩,防止电机的磁场干扰影响对永磁体7的控制。第一同步带603与第二同步带604通过下隔板两侧的开口,分别与下方的第一旋转轴605和第二旋转轴606连接。第一微型电机601可通过第一同步带603驱动第一旋转轴605旋转,第二微型电机602可通过第二同步带604驱动第二旋转轴606旋转。第一旋转轴605一端与胶囊外壳1的内壁轴孔间隙配合,另一端与第一旋转套环609固接,可以带动第一旋转套环609一起转动。第二旋转轴606一端与胶囊外壳1的内壁轴孔间隙配合,另一端呈半球形,与第一旋转套环609上的球形凹槽形成铰接。第二旋转轴606对第一旋转套环609仅仅起支撑作用,不会影响第一旋转套环609的旋转运动。As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 4, the universal rotation module 6 is composed of a first micromotor 601, a second micromotor 602, a first synchronous belt 603, a second synchronous belt 604, a first rotating shaft 605, a second rotating shaft 606, a third rotating shaft 607, a bevel gear set 608, a first rotating collar 609 and a second rotating collar 610. The first micromotor 601 and the second micromotor 602 are all fixed on the lower partition in the capsule shell 1, and a motor magnetic shield is installed to prevent the magnetic field interference of the motor from affecting the control of the permanent magnet 7. The first synchronous belt 603 and the second synchronous belt 604 are respectively connected with the first rotating shaft 605 and the second rotating shaft 606 below through the openings on both sides of the lower partition. The first micro motor 601 can drive the first rotating shaft 605 to rotate through the first synchronous belt 603 , and the second micro motor 602 can drive the second rotating shaft 606 to rotate through the second synchronous belt 604 . One end of the first rotating shaft 605 is in clearance fit with the shaft hole of the inner wall of the capsule shell 1 , and the other end is fixedly connected with the first rotating collar 609 , which can drive the first rotating collar 609 to rotate together. One end of the second rotating shaft 606 is in clearance fit with the shaft hole of the inner wall of the capsule shell 1 , and the other end is hemispherical and hinged with the spherical groove on the first rotating collar 609 . The second rotating shaft 606 only supports the first rotating collar 609 and does not affect the rotational movement of the first rotating collar 609 .
如图1、图2和图4所示,锥齿轮组608包括主动锥齿轮和从动锥齿轮。所述主动锥齿轮与第二旋转轴606通过轴孔过盈配合,并能随着第二旋转轴606同步转动。所述主动锥齿轮整体设计为碗状,与胶囊外壳1的半球形底部相匹配,使结构更为紧凑。所述从动锥齿轮与所述主动锥齿轮通过齿轮啮合,能配合进行转动。第三旋转轴607与所述从动锥齿轮通过轴孔过盈配合,受从动锥齿轮驱动时会绕轴线自转。第三旋转轴607与第一旋转套环609通过轴孔间隙配合,第三旋转轴607会随着第一旋转套环609绕第一轴线8公转。第二旋转套环610的外壁与第三旋转轴607通过轴孔过盈配合,第二旋转套环610的内壁与永磁体7过盈配合,第二旋转套环610和永磁体7会跟随第三旋转轴607同步转动。As shown in FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the bevel gear set 608 includes a driving bevel gear and a driven bevel gear. The driving bevel gear is in interference fit with the second rotating shaft 606 through the shaft hole, and can rotate synchronously with the second rotating shaft 606 . The overall design of the active bevel gear is bowl-shaped, which matches the hemispherical bottom of the capsule shell 1, making the structure more compact. The driven bevel gear and the driving bevel gear can cooperate to rotate through gear meshing. The third rotating shaft 607 is in interference fit with the driven bevel gear through the shaft hole, and will rotate around the axis when driven by the driven bevel gear. The third rotating shaft 607 is in clearance fit with the first rotating collar 609 through the shaft hole, and the third rotating shaft 607 will revolve around the first axis 8 along with the first rotating collar 609 . The outer wall of the second rotating collar 610 is interference fit with the third rotating shaft 607 through the shaft hole, and the inner wall of the second rotating collar 610 is interference fitting with the permanent magnet 7 , and the second rotating collar 610 and the permanent magnet 7 will rotate synchronously with the third rotating shaft 607 .
在本发明实施例中,第一旋转轴605和第二旋转轴606沿轴向对心安装,两者的轴线与第一轴线8相重合。第二轴线9与第三旋转轴607的轴线重合,并始终垂直于第一轴线8。第二轴线9会跟随第三旋转轴607绕第一轴线8转动。第一轴线8和第二轴线9相交于永磁体7的球心,使永磁体7在转动过程中,中心位置不会改变。In the embodiment of the present invention, the first rotating shaft 605 and the second rotating shaft 606 are installed axially and concentrically, and their axes coincide with the first axis 8 . The second axis 9 coincides with the axis of the third rotation axis 607 and is always perpendicular to the first axis 8 . The second axis 9 follows the third rotation shaft 607 to rotate around the first axis 8 . The first axis 8 and the second axis 9 intersect at the spherical center of the permanent magnet 7, so that the center position of the permanent magnet 7 will not change during the rotation process.
在本发明实施例中,当只有第一微型电机601工作并控制永磁体7绕第一轴线8旋转时,由于锥齿轮组608的从动锥齿轮也会绕着第一轴线8旋转,而主动锥齿轮不旋转,就会使从动锥齿轮带动第三旋转轴607旋转,进而带动永磁体7也绕第二轴线9旋转。为了让永磁体7仅绕第一轴线8旋转,需要第二微型电机602协同工作,按匹配的转速进行转动。In the embodiment of the present invention, when only the first micromotor 601 works and controls the permanent magnet 7 to rotate around the first axis 8, since the driven bevel gear of the bevel gear set 608 will also rotate around the first axis 8, and the driving bevel gear does not rotate, the driven bevel gear will drive the third rotating shaft 607 to rotate, and then drive the permanent magnet 7 to also rotate around the second axis 9. In order to allow the permanent magnet 7 to rotate only around the first axis 8, the second micro-motor 602 needs to work together to rotate at a matching speed.
在本发明实施例中,永磁体7绕第一轴线8的旋转不受第二微型电机602的控制影响。通过合理配置第一微型电机601和第二微型电机602的转速,可以让永磁体7同时绕着第一轴线8和第二轴线9旋转。In the embodiment of the present invention, the rotation of the permanent magnet 7 around the first axis 8 is not affected by the control of the second micromotor 602 . By rationally configuring the rotational speeds of the first micromotor 601 and the second micromotor 602 , the permanent magnet 7 can be rotated around the first axis 8 and the second axis 9 at the same time.
在本发明实施例中,万向转动模块6实现了永磁体7两个姿态自由度的控制,能够使永磁体7的磁极朝向相对初始状态偏转任意角度。In the embodiment of the present invention, the universal rotation module 6 realizes the control of the two degrees of freedom of the permanent magnet 7, and can make the magnetic pole of the permanent magnet 7 deflect at any angle relative to the initial state.
在本发明实施例中,提供了一种胶囊内窥镜自准直姿态调整的操控方法。在外磁场作用下,永磁体7的磁极朝向会始终保持与外磁场方向一致。初始状态下,胶囊外壳1的轴线与永磁体7的磁极方向重合,在竖直方向的强磁场作用下保持竖立。关闭外磁场后,通过第一微型电机601和第二微型电机602驱动永磁体7的磁极相对胶囊外壳1的轴线偏转预设角度。电机停止工作,重新产生竖直方向的强磁场,使永磁体7的磁极方向重新偏回竖直方向,带动胶囊外壳1实现预设角度的偏转,从而完成姿态控制。In an embodiment of the present invention, a control method for self-collimation posture adjustment of a capsule endoscope is provided. Under the action of the external magnetic field, the orientation of the magnetic poles of the permanent magnet 7 will always be consistent with the direction of the external magnetic field. In the initial state, the axis of the capsule shell 1 coincides with the magnetic pole direction of the permanent magnet 7, and remains erect under the action of a strong magnetic field in the vertical direction. After the external magnetic field is turned off, the magnetic poles of the permanent magnet 7 are driven by the first micromotor 601 and the second micromotor 602 to deflect by a preset angle relative to the axis of the capsule shell 1 . The motor stops working, regenerates a strong vertical magnetic field, and makes the magnetic pole direction of the permanent magnet 7 deflect back to the vertical direction again, driving the capsule shell 1 to realize the deflection of the preset angle, thereby completing the attitude control.
如图5所示,两个相同的圆形电磁线圈在竖直方向间隔一定距离正对放置,在中间区域形成了竖直方向的强磁场。初始状态时,受竖直方向的强磁场作用,胶囊外壳1的轴线、第一旋转套环609的轴线、第二旋转套环610的轴线和永磁体7的磁极方向均重合,且沿竖直方向。关停电磁线圈中的电流后,强磁场消失,通过第二微型电机602控制永磁体7绕第二轴线9顺时针旋转90°。此时胶囊外壳1的轴线和永磁体7的磁极方向将偏离竖直方向。电机停止工作后,对电磁线圈供电,重新形成竖直方向的强磁场,永磁体7在外磁场作用下,磁极方向将自动校准回到竖直方向,从而带动胶囊外壳1一起偏转。As shown in Figure 5, two identical circular electromagnetic coils are placed facing each other at a certain distance in the vertical direction, forming a strong vertical magnetic field in the middle area. In the initial state, under the action of a strong vertical magnetic field, the axis of the capsule shell 1, the axis of the first rotating collar 609, the axis of the second rotating collar 610 and the magnetic pole direction of the permanent magnet 7 all coincide and are along the vertical direction. After the current in the electromagnetic coil is turned off, the strong magnetic field disappears, and the permanent magnet 7 is controlled by the second micro-motor 602 to rotate 90° clockwise around the second axis 9 . At this moment, the axis of the capsule housing 1 and the magnetic pole direction of the permanent magnet 7 will deviate from the vertical direction. After the motor stops working, power is supplied to the electromagnetic coil to re-form a strong vertical magnetic field. Under the action of the external magnetic field, the magnetic pole direction of the permanent magnet 7 will be automatically calibrated back to the vertical direction, thereby driving the capsule shell 1 to deflect together.
偏转后的状态如图6所示。永磁体7的磁极方向、第二旋转套环610的轴线方向和外磁场方向同向,均为竖直方向;胶囊外壳1的轴线方向、第一旋转套环609的轴线方向和外磁场方向垂直,沿水平方向。此时,摄像模块2具有良好的胃侧壁视野,能够对胃侧壁进行全面检查。The deflected state is shown in Figure 6. The magnetic pole direction of the permanent magnet 7, the axis direction of the second rotating collar 610, and the direction of the external magnetic field are in the same direction, both being vertical directions; the axis direction of the capsule shell 1, the axis direction of the first rotating collar 609, and the direction of the external magnetic field are vertical and along the horizontal direction. At this time, the camera module 2 has a good view of the side wall of the stomach, and can conduct a comprehensive inspection of the side wall of the stomach.
在本发明实施例中,永磁体7的磁极方向会被强磁场自动校准,因而胶囊内窥镜的姿态偏转精度将由第一微型电机601和第二微型电机602的控制精度决定,具有控制简便、精度高的优势。In the embodiment of the present invention, the magnetic pole direction of the permanent magnet 7 will be automatically calibrated by the strong magnetic field, so the attitude deflection accuracy of the capsule endoscope will be determined by the control accuracy of the first micro motor 601 and the second micro motor 602, which has the advantages of simple control and high precision.
在本发明实施例中,提供了一种胶囊内窥镜空间位置的操控方法。如图5所示,两个相同的圆形电磁线圈在竖直方向间隔一定距离正对放置,在中间区域产生随开随停,强度可控的磁场。水平方向上,磁场具有中心强、四周弱的特点。在磁场作用下,永磁体7将始终稳定在磁场的正中间位置,因而可以通过水平移动电磁线圈来控制胶囊内窥镜的水平位置。竖直方向上,磁场具有中间弱、两端强的特点。在竖直方向上,应采用闭环控制,通过改变电磁线圈的高度或者调整电磁线圈中的电流强度来控制胶囊内窥镜的竖直位置。In an embodiment of the present invention, a method for manipulating the spatial position of a capsule endoscope is provided. As shown in Figure 5, two identical circular electromagnetic coils are placed facing each other at a certain distance in the vertical direction, and a magnetic field with controllable strength is generated in the middle area. In the horizontal direction, the magnetic field has the characteristics of strong center and weak surrounding. Under the action of the magnetic field, the permanent magnet 7 will always be stable in the middle of the magnetic field, so the horizontal position of the capsule endoscope can be controlled by moving the electromagnetic coil horizontally. In the vertical direction, the magnetic field has the characteristics of being weak in the middle and strong at both ends. In the vertical direction, closed-loop control should be adopted to control the vertical position of the capsule endoscope by changing the height of the electromagnetic coil or adjusting the current intensity in the electromagnetic coil.
在本发明实施例中,胶囊内窥镜的水平位置直接由磁场中心位置决定,因而具有很高的控制精度。同时,胶囊内窥镜的水平位置变化不会影响竖直方向的控制,从而使竖直位置的控制难度大大降低。In the embodiment of the present invention, the horizontal position of the capsule endoscope is directly determined by the center position of the magnetic field, thus having high control precision. At the same time, the change of the horizontal position of the capsule endoscope will not affect the control of the vertical direction, so that the difficulty of controlling the vertical position is greatly reduced.
