Steering mechanism, described steering mechanism comprises that at least 3 become the equally distributed turner bar of axial symmetry;
Control circuit, described control circuit is connected with the controlled coil of electric current and turner bar respectively, for controlling current intensity and the persistent period of the controlled coil of electric current and then controlling its length for turner bar being applied to voltage;
And be built in the battery of capsule.
Described turner bar is made up of piezoelectric or ion exchange polymer/metallic composite materials.
A kind of capsule endoscope autonomic movement method, comprises as follows:
When the controlled coil electricity of electric current, attract arc armature, the liquid in compressional movement propulsive mechanism inner chamber is to elastic housing edge, and the outer deformation of elastic housing is flat, and now motion propulsive mechanism is in contraction state;
Capsule endoscope is in the time of advanced state: after the controlled circuit control of the controlled coil of electric current power-off, liquid in inner chamber is subject to the active force of elastic housing, axis direction toward capsule endoscope impacts, thereby capsule endoscope is obtained along the propulsive force of the propulsive mechanism centrage that moves, propulsive force direction and capsule endoscope dead in line, now motion propulsive mechanism is in release conditions;
When capsule endoscope turns to: control circuit applies voltage to turner bar two ends, make the turner bar length in steering mechanism inconsistent, thereby make the centrage of motion propulsive mechanism and the axis of capsule endoscope become angle, propulsive force direction also no longer with the dead in line of capsule endoscope, finally make the attitude of capsule endoscope be adjusted.
In the contraction state or release conditions of described motion propulsive mechanism, the inner chamber of motion propulsive mechanism is all the time about capsule axis symmetry.
Beneficial effect of the present invention:
Method of the present invention is the propulsive force that the orientation of liquid impacts to obtain capsule endoscope, utilizes the distortion of turner bar to make the comprehensive adjustment attitude of capsule endoscope simultaneously, and its frame for movement is simple, easily manufactures.
Brief description of the drawings
Fig. 1 (a)-Fig. 1 (b) is the structural representation of a kind of autonomic movement formula of the present invention capsule endoscope, wherein Fig. 1 (a) be the present invention in contraction state, Fig. 1 (b) is that the present invention is in release conditions.
Shown in figure:
The controlled coil of 1-electric current, 2-arc armature, 3-elastic housing, 4-turner bar, 5-battery, 6-control circuit;
Detailed description of the invention
Below in conjunction with embodiment and accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in further detail, but embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this.
Embodiment
As shown in Fig. 1 (a)-Fig. 1 (b), a kind of autonomic movement formula capsule endoscope, according to order from top to bottom, comprise successively motion propulsive mechanism, steering mechanism, control circuit 6 and battery, described motion propulsive mechanism is arranged in steering mechanism, and described control circuit is positioned at steering mechanism below, described battery is for powering to control circuit, and described battery and control circuit are all positioned at the afterbody of capsule.
Described motion propulsive mechanism comprises the controlled coil 1 of electric current, arc armature 2, elastic housing 3, described elastic housing 3 seals motion propulsive mechanism and forms inner chamber, and inner chamber is full of iknsulating liquid, described arc armature 2 is close on the inwall of elastic housing 3, and about capsule endoscope axis symmetry, the controlled coil 1 of described electric current is arranged on the top of steering mechanism along capsule endoscope axis symmetry;
When the controlled coil electricity of electric current, attract arc armature 2, thus the liquid of extruding in inner chamber to edge, elastic housing 3 is out of shape, the outer deformation of elastic housing 3 is flat, now motion propulsive mechanism is in contraction state, as shown in Fig. 1 (a);
After the controlled power-off of the controlled coil 1 of electric current, elastic housing has the trend of reinstatement, liquid in inner chamber is subject to the active force of elastic housing, axis direction toward capsule endoscope impacts, thereby make capsule endoscope obtain propulsive force, now motion propulsive mechanism is in release conditions, and capsule endoscope is in advanced state, as shown in Fig. 1 (b).
When capsule endoscope is during in advanced state, the thrust direction of propulsive mechanism and the dead in line of capsule endoscope, capsule endoscope obtains thrust forward;
