Under the prior art, the colon examination micro-robot mechanism is mainly divided into two types: the first is an inchworm-like micro-robot mechanism.

The second is a crawler-type micro-robot mechanism. The problems of the micro-robot mechanism are as follows: the functions of reducing and staying cannot be realized, so that the colon nursing device cannot be well adapted to the colon environment with variable pipe diameters, and missed diagnosis is easily caused.

Secondly, realizing the reducing and residing functions: the I direct current motor sequentially drives the lead screw to rotate forwards or reversely through the driving gear and the driven gear, the front nut and the rear nut move oppositely or move backwards from the front nut to drive the four-bar mechanism to expand (when expanding, the left crawler belt and the right crawler belt are in close contact with the inner wall of the colon, so that the staying function is realized) or close (when closing, the left crawler belt and the right crawler belt are in contact with the inner wall of the colon and generate friction force required by rolling), and the reducing and staying functions are realized. In the process, the guide rod is used for ensuring the movement stability of the front nut and the rear nut. The left bearing and the right bearing are used for reducing the rotation resistance of the rotating shaft. The left drag reduction roller (the right drag reduction roller) has the function of avoiding the direct contact between the left crawler belt (the right crawler belt) and the case, thereby reducing the rolling resistance of the left crawler belt (the right crawler belt). The longitudinal upper limit boss, the longitudinal lower limit boss and the left limit convex edge (right limit convex edge) are used for avoiding the lateral sliding of the left crawler belt (right crawler belt).
Based on the process, compared with the existing micro robot mechanism for colon examination, the variable-diameter crawler type robot mechanism for colon examination has the following advantages by adopting a brand new structure: firstly, compared with an inchworm-imitating type micro robot mechanism, the mechanism realizes the functions of bidirectional movement, diameter changing and staying in a mode of driving the four-bar mechanism by the direct current motor, thereby greatly improving the action execution efficiency and greatly improving the diagnosis efficiency. Secondly, compared with a crawler-type micro robot mechanism, the invention realizes the functions of reducing and staying, thereby being well suitable for the colon environment with variable pipe diameters and effectively avoiding missed diagnosis.
The invention has reasonable structure and ingenious design, effectively solves the problems that the existing colon examination micro-robot mechanism has too low action execution efficiency and can not realize the functions of diameter changing and staying, and is suitable for the noninvasive examination of colon diseases.
