Detailed Description

In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular system structures, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present application may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present application with unnecessary detail.

The technical solution of the present application will be described below by way of specific examples.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic view of an application scenario of a reciprocating rotary drive system of a wireless capsule endoscope provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Before the examination begins, thepatient 101 is asked to swallow awireless capsule endoscope 102 and lie on an examination table 103.

Fig. 2 is a schematic view of a wireless capsule endoscope according to an embodiment of the present application. Thewireless capsule endoscope 102 is embedded with a ring-shapedpermanent magnet 1021, and the ring-shapedpermanent magnet 1021 is wrapped by acapsule shell 1022. The magnetizing direction of the annularpermanent magnet 1021 and the axial direction of the wireless capsule endoscope 102 (i.e., a in fig. 2)₁A₂Direction) are orthogonal. In general, magnets are placed inside thewireless capsule endoscope 102 in order to drive thewireless capsule endoscope 102. In the prior art, the magnetization direction of the magnet in thewireless capsule endoscope 102 is generally the axial direction of thewireless capsule endoscope 102, and this processing mode enables the axial direction of thewireless capsule endoscope 102, that is, the head direction of thewireless capsule endoscope 102, to be easily determined in subsequent work. But this also results in the inability to rotate thewireless capsule endoscope 102 along an axis. Book (I)In the embodiment, thewireless capsule endoscope 102 can rotate along the axis under the action of the rotating magnetic field and be driven by enabling the magnetizing direction of the annularpermanent magnet 1021 to be orthogonal to the axial direction of thewireless capsule endoscope 102.

As shown in fig. 1, the examination table 103 is covered with alarge sensor array 104, and theentire sensor array 104 includes a plurality of sensors arranged in a rectangular shape. During the examination, some or all of the sensors in thesensor array 104 will be activated for positioning the wireless capsule endoscope.

In one possible implementation of the embodiments of the subject application, the sensors activated during the examination may be only some of the sensors in thesensor array 104, and these activated sensors may be sensors that are closer to the current location of thewireless capsule endoscope 102. Moreover, the activated sensors may be sensors arranged in a certain manner in thesensor array 104, and when the sensors are used for positioning thewireless capsule endoscope 102, not only the positioning frequency can be increased, but also higher positioning accuracy can be obtained. When thewireless capsule endoscope 102 moves to a next location, another portion of the sensors from thesensor array 104 may be activated, and the newly activated another portion of the sensors employed to locate thewireless capsule endoscope 102.

As shown in fig. 1, arobot arm 105 is mounted beside the examination table 103, and adrive 106 is mounted on an end effector of therobot arm 105.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a driver according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Theactuator 106 includes adrive motor 1061 and anactuator magnet 1062, where theactuator magnet 1062 may be a spherical permanent magnet. The magnetic moment direction of the spherical permanent magnet is orthogonal to the rotation axis of thedrive motor 1061. Thus, when the drivingmotor 1061 rotates, the magnetic moment of the spherical permanent magnet rotates, and a rotating magnetic field is generated.

Thewireless capsule endoscope 102, the examination table 103, thesensor array 104, therobot arm 105, thedriver 106, and the like shown in fig. 1 together constitute a reciprocating rotary drive system of the wireless capsule endoscope according to the embodiment of the present application. Further, the above-described reciprocating rotary drive system may further include a data processing computer (not shown in fig. 1) connected to theexamination couch 103, thesensor array 104, therobot arm 105, thedrive 106, and the like. The data processing computer may have a reciprocating rotational drive algorithm stored therein, as well as other indispensable programs or algorithms such as positioning, display, storage, etc. In the examination process, the reciprocating rotation driving system can drive thewireless capsule endoscope 102 to rotate in the abdominal cavity in a reciprocating manner by executing the reciprocating rotation driving algorithm, so that the risk of twisting of the abdominal cavity caused by continuous rotation motion is reduced.

Before describing a specific application of the reciprocating rotary drive system of the embodiments of the present application, a reciprocating rotary drive algorithm is first described.

The reciprocating rotation driving system provided by the embodiment of the application can drive the movement of the wireless capsule endoscope by adopting a Reciprocating Rotation Magnetic Actuation (RRMA) mode. In a reciprocating rotary magnetic drive mode, the driver magnet can rotate in a reciprocating rotary interval to generate magnetic force with periodically changed direction. When the generated magnetic force with periodically changed direction acts on the wireless capsule endoscope, the wireless capsule endoscope can rotate in different directions around the rotating shaft in sequence in one period of the reciprocating rotation of the driver magnet. For example, during the first half of the reciprocal rotation of the driver magnet, the magnetic force generated by the driver magnet may cause the wireless capsule endoscope to rotate clockwise about the axis of rotation; during the second half of the reciprocal rotation of the driver magnet, the magnetic force generated by the driver magnet causes the wireless capsule endoscope to rotate counterclockwise about the axis of rotation. Alternatively, during the first half cycle of the reciprocal rotation of the driver magnet, the magnetic force generated by the driver magnet may cause the wireless capsule endoscope to rotate counterclockwise about the axis of rotation; during the latter half of the reciprocal rotation of the driver magnet, the magnetic force generated by the driver magnet causes the wireless capsule endoscope to rotate clockwise about the axis of rotation. By driving the wireless capsule endoscope to rotate in a reciprocating manner, the risk of cavity twisting possibly caused in the process of the wireless capsule endoscope moving in the abdominal cavity can be effectively reduced.

Wherein (a) and (b) in fig. 4 are views of the wireless capsule endoscope and driver magnet, respectively, in different directions under interaction.

In the embodiment of the present application, the magnetic force f applied to the wireless capsule endoscope can be regarded as a resultant force of a plurality of components. For example, the magnetic force f experienced by a wireless capsule endoscope can be viewed as three components f as shown in FIG. 6_ρ、f_lAnd f_rThe resultant force of (a). Wherein the first component f_ρIs along the desired axis of rotation of the wireless capsule endoscope

A second component f of the propulsion_lIs a lateral force perpendicular to the U-plane, the third component f_rIs the remaining residual force, i.e.: f. of_r＝f-f_ρ-f_l。

FIG. 7 shows a schematic diagram of the variation in magnetic force experienced on a wireless capsule endoscope during one cycle of reciprocating rotation of the driver magnet. As can be seen from FIG. 7, the propulsive force f_ρThe magnitude of (A) is hardly changed with the change of the rotation angle, and the value is very stable. When the rotation angle is about 180 DEG, the lateral force f_lAlmost 0, and the remaining force f_rA maximum value is reached. When the rotation angle is about 180 °, the change of the magnetic force f is also the slowest. Therefore, it is possible to select a reciprocating rotation section of the driver magnet centered at 180 °. Let theta_arFor the reciprocating rotation angle of the driver magnet, the reciprocating rotation interval of the driver magnet can be expressed as: theta_ax∈[180°-θ_ar，180°+θ_ar]。

Generally, θ_arSmaller and faster frequency of reciprocating rotation of the driver magnet, and propulsive force f_ρIt is the focus of the embodiments of the present application, so the embodiments of the present application may use the magnetic force at the rotation angle of 180 ° to represent the magnetic force in one reciprocating rotation period.

Through simulation, different reciprocating rotation angles can cause different cavity twisting risks and propelling efficiency. The larger the reciprocating rotation angle, the larger the amplitude of the distortion or deformation of the cavity channel, but the stronger the force for opening the cavity channel to the side direction, which is beneficial to the forward propulsion of the wireless capsule endoscope. Therefore, the embodiment of the application can select a balance point between the channel twisting risk and the propelling efficiency, and determine the optimal reciprocating rotation angle to be 90 degrees. When the optimal reciprocating rotation angle of the driver magnet is 90 degrees, the corresponding reciprocating rotation interval is [90 degrees, 270 degrees ].

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a comparison of intestinal tract distortion risks in different rotation modes according to an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 8 shows the force applied by the wireless capsule endoscope to the intestinal wall and the analysis of the risk of possibly causing intestinal tract distortion under different rotation modes, qualitatively shows that the Continuous Rotation Magnetic Actuation (CRMA) mode causes intestinal tract distortion and the RRMA mode provided by the embodiment of the present application can avoid the reason of intestinal tract distortion, and thus verifies the optimal reciprocating rotation angle. Wherein (a) in fig. 8 is the force of the wireless capsule endoscope against the intestinal wall in the CRMA drive mode; fig. 8 (b) shows the force applied to the intestinal wall by the wireless capsule endoscope in the RRMA drive mode.

As shown in fig. 8 (a), the wireless capsule endoscope is driven by the CRMA mode. Under the action of magnetic force, the continuously rotating wireless capsule endoscope firstly generates pressure f on the left side wall of the intestinal tract_normalThe pressure f_normalWith lateral force f on wireless capsule endoscope_lAre equal. Furthermore, the rotating wireless capsule endoscope also generates friction force f to the intestinal wall_frictionThis friction force f_frictlonCausing the intestinal wall to move counterclockwise. As the wireless capsule endoscope continues to rotate, the wireless capsule endoscope still generates pressure f to the right side wall of the intestinal tract under the action of lateral force_normalAlso, friction force f is generated to the intestinal wall_friction. Then, the frictional force f at this time_frictionStill resulting in a counterclockwise motion of the intestinal wall. Thus, over the entire cycle of the CRMA, the wireless capsule endoscope may distort the intestinal wall in the same direction, which may cause the intestinal tract to distort.

As shown in fig. 8 (b), the wireless capsule endoscope is driven in the RRMA mode. Under the action of magnetic force, the reciprocating and rotating wireless capsule endoscope can generate pressure f on the left side wall of the intestinal tract_normalAnd generates a counterclockwise friction force f to the intestinal wall_frictionSo that the intestinal wall tends to move counter-clockwise. As the wireless capsule endoscope is driven to rotate in the opposite direction, it generates a pressure f on the right sidewall under the action of a lateral force_normalAnd a friction force f_friction. By friction force f on the side walls_frictionThe intestinal tract is moved clockwise. Thus, throughout the RRMA cycle, within the wireless capsuleThe speculum causes the direction of rotation of the intestinal wall in the first and second half cycles to be opposite. That is, even if the intestinal wall is distorted in the first half of the cycle, it can be restored in the second half of the cycle. Therefore, the reciprocating rotation system provided by the embodiment of the application is used for driving the wireless capsule endoscope to rotate in a reciprocating manner, so that the risk of intestinal tract and other cavity distortion can be greatly reduced.

As shown in fig. 8 (c), a schematic diagram of the lateral force of the wireless capsule endoscope against the intestinal wall in different rotation modes is shown. Wherein, (c.1) shows the change situation of the lateral force in the CRMA driving mode, and the abscissa in (c.1) represents the angle corresponding to one period of continuous rotation of the wireless capsule endoscope, namely the angle change in the process of sequentially rotating from 0 degree to 360 degrees shown by the abscissa in (c.1); the ordinate in (c.1) represents the variation of the lateral force to which the wall of the intestine is subjected at different angles. From (c.1), it can be seen that the magnitude and direction of the lateral force applied to the intestinal wall changes during the continuous rotation of the wireless capsule endoscope. (c.2) - (c.6) show the variation of lateral force for different reciprocating rotation angles in RRMA driving mode. (c.2) - (c.6) show the rotation angle (theta) according to different reciprocating rotation angles_arIncreasing gradually from 10 ° to 90 °) changes in the lateral forces to which the wall of the intestine is subjected in the case of driving the driver magnet. The abscissa in each of the (c.2) - (c.6) schematic diagrams represents different reciprocating rotation angles, wherein (c.2) corresponds to a reciprocating rotation angle of 10 °, (c.3) corresponds to a reciprocating rotation angle of 30 °, (c.4) corresponds to a reciprocating rotation angle of 50 °, (c.5) corresponds to a reciprocating rotation angle of 70 °, (c.6) corresponds to a reciprocating rotation angle of 90 °, (c.2) - (c.6) each represents a change in a lateral force applied to the intestinal wall when the driver magnet is controlled to drive the wireless capsule endoscope to rotate in a reciprocating manner according to the reciprocating rotation angle shown in the abscissa. It is observed that in the RRMA drive mode, the lateral forces on the intestinal wall are greater as the angle of reciprocation rotation increases. As shown in FIG. 8 (d), the rubbing of the wireless capsule endoscope against the intestinal wall in different rotation modes is demonstratedSchematic diagram of wiping force. Wherein (d.1) shows the change of the friction force in the CRMA driving mode. (d.2) - (d.6) show the change of friction corresponding to different reciprocating rotation angles in the RRMA driving mode. It is very clearly observed that the forces to which the wall of the intestine is subjected are always in the same direction under the influence of the CRMA, which may lead to a higher risk of intestinal distortion. And under the RRMA driving mode, no matter how many degrees the driving angle is, the acting force that the intestinal wall received is the cycle reciprocal, has reduced the risk that the intestinal twists. Meanwhile, the larger lateral force on the intestinal wall is beneficial to the opening of the intestinal tract, and is also more beneficial to pushing the wireless capsule endoscope to advance. Therefore, in the case of securing the RRMA driving, a large reciprocating rotation angle, that is, 90 ° may be selected as the reciprocating rotation angle of the driver magnet.

Referring to fig. 9, a schematic flow chart of a reciprocating rotation driving process of a wireless capsule endoscope provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:

and S901, determining the reciprocating rotation interval of the driver magnet.

It should be noted that the reciprocating rotation driving process of the wireless capsule endoscope shown in fig. 9 can be realized by the reciprocating rotation driving system provided by the embodiment of the present application by invoking the aforementioned reciprocating rotation driving algorithm. For the reciprocating rotation driving algorithm, reference may be made to the description of the related parts, and the description is not repeated here.

In the embodiment of the present application, the reciprocating rotation interval of the driver magnet may be an angle interval formed by reciprocating rotation of a predetermined angle around the target rotation angle. The target rotation angle may be an angle at which the magnetic moment of the driver magnet rotates around the rotational axis of the driver magnet.

In one possible implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the target rotation angle may be 180 °. Thus, the reciprocating rotation interval of the driver magnet can be expressed as [180 ° - θ ]_ar，180°+θ_ar](ii) a Wherein, theta_arIs a preset angle, which is the reciprocating rotation angle of the driver magnet.

In the embodiment of the present application, the reciprocating rotation angle may be specifically set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

In one possible implementation of the embodiment of the present application, when the reciprocating rotation driving mode is applied, the acting force applied to the cavity wall is periodically reciprocated no matter how many degrees the driving angle is. On the other hand, the expansion of the cavity is facilitated due to larger lateral force on the cavity wall, and the wireless capsule endoscope is more facilitated to be pushed to advance. Therefore, when the reciprocating rotation driving mode is applied, a large reciprocating rotation angle, that is, 90 ° can be selected as the reciprocating rotation angle of the driver magnet.

S902, controlling the driver magnet to rotate in a reciprocating mode in the reciprocating rotation interval so as to generate magnetic force with periodically changed direction; the magnetic force with the periodically changed direction is used for driving the wireless capsule endoscope to rotate in the abdominal cavity and the tract of the human body in a reciprocating manner.

In the embodiment of the present application, after determining the reciprocating rotation interval of the driver magnet, the reciprocating rotation driving system may control the driver magnet to rotate reciprocally in the reciprocating rotation interval, so as to generate the magnetic force with the direction periodically changing. After the magnetic force acts on the wireless capsule endoscope, the wireless capsule endoscope can be driven to rotate in the abdominal cavity in a reciprocating manner.

According to the embodiment of the application, the reciprocating rotation interval of the driver magnet can be determined, so that the driver magnet can be controlled to rotate in a reciprocating manner in the reciprocating rotation interval. The direction of the magnetic force generated by the reciprocating rotation of the driver magnet will change periodically. When the magnet with the periodically changed direction acts on the wireless capsule endoscope, the wireless capsule endoscope can also be driven to rotate in the abdominal cavity of the human body in a reciprocating manner, so that the risk that the cavity of the wireless capsule endoscope is twisted due to continuous rotation motion is reduced.

In this embodiment, the reciprocating rotation interval may be an angle interval formed by reciprocating rotation of a preset angle around a target rotation angle, and the target rotation angle may be an angle at which the magnetic moment of the driver magnet rotates around the rotation axis of the driver magnet.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target rotation angle may be 180 °, and thus, the reciprocating rotation interval is [180 ° - θ ]_ar，180°+θ_ar](ii) a Wherein, theta_arIs the preset angle.

In the embodiment of the present application, the preset angle may be 90 °.

In the embodiment of the present application, the driver magnet is installed in the driver, and the driver may further include a driving motor, and the driving motor may be configured to drive the driver magnet to rotate reciprocally in the reciprocating rotation interval.

In the embodiment of the present application, the driver magnet may be a spherical permanent magnet, and a magnetic moment direction of the spherical permanent magnet may be orthogonal to a rotation axis of the driving motor.

In an embodiment of the present application, the wireless capsule endoscope may include an annular permanent magnet, and a magnetizing direction of the annular permanent magnet may be orthogonal to an axial direction of the wireless capsule endoscope.

In an embodiment of the present application, the system may further comprise a sensor array, which may comprise a plurality of sensors arranged in a matrix, which may be used to position the wireless capsule endoscope.

As for the embodiment of the apparatus, since it is basically similar to the embodiment corresponding to fig. 9, it is relatively simple to describe, and for the relevant points, refer to the description of the foregoing embodiment.

Referring to fig. 11, a schematic diagram of a reciprocating rotary drive apparatus of a wireless capsule endoscope provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in fig. 11, a reciprocatingrotary drive apparatus 1100 of a wireless capsule endoscope of the embodiment of the present application includes: aprocessor 1110, amemory 1120, andcomputer programs 1121 stored in thememory 1120 and operable on theprocessor 1110. Theprocessor 1110, when executing thecomputer program 1121, implements the methods or steps in the various embodiments of the reciprocating rotational drive system described above, such as steps S901 to S902 shown in fig. 9.

Illustratively, thecomputer programs 1121 can be divided into one or more modules/units that are stored in thememory 1120 and executed by theprocessor 1110 to accomplish the present application. The one or more modules/units may be a series of computer program instruction segments capable of performing specific functions that may be used to describe the execution of thecomputer program 1121 in the reciprocatingrotary drive device 1100 of the wireless capsule endoscope. For example, thecomputer program 1121 may be divided into a determination module and a control module, and the specific functions of each module are as follows:
