The decomposable route exploring capsule provided by the specific embodiment comprises an inner core part 1 used for sending signals to the outside and a shell 2 which is wrapped on the periphery of the inner core part 1 and used for simulating the appearance of a capsule endoscope; the shell 2 comprises at least two shell units, wherein at least one of the shell units is a deformation unit which deforms under the action of a magnetic field; in a natural state, the shell units are fixedly connected; under the action of the magnetic field, the deformation unit deforms to separate the fixedly connected shell units.

When the degradable pathfinding capsule provided by the embodiment is used, a user needs to swallow the degradable pathfinding capsule, and the shape of the shell 2 is similar to that of the capsule endoscope, so that the process that the user swallows the degradable pathfinding capsule can be used for simulating the process of swallowing the capsule endoscope, and whether the user is suitable for checking in the mode of the capsule endoscope is judged by judging whether the degradable pathfinding capsule can be discharged out of the body within the specified time; after a certain time, the swallow is generally 30 hours, and of course, the time can also be set according to the specific situation of the user; whether the decomposable exploring capsule exists in the human body or not needs to be detected, if the detection result shows that the decomposable exploring capsule still exists in the human body, the difficulty of discharging the decomposable exploring capsule by a user is proved, at the moment, a magnetic field can be provided near the abdomen of the user, and under the action of the magnetic field, the mutually connected shell units are separated from each other due to the deformation of the deformation unit.

It should be noted that the deformation of the deformation unit mentioned herein may be a material that expands as a whole under the action of a magnetic field, or may be a material that contracts as a whole under the action of a magnetic field, or a material that elongates in a single direction or contracts in a single direction under the action of a magnetic field, which is determined specifically according to actual situations and will not be described herein again.

In addition, the number of the housing units is at least two, and from the perspective of facilitating discharging the inside of the body, the larger the number of the housing units, the smaller the volume of each housing unit after disassembly is, the more beneficial the discharging outside of the body is, and from the perspective of processing cost and assembling process cost, the smaller the number of the housing units is, the more convenient the assembling is, and therefore, the specific number of the housing units needs to be determined according to actual conditions.

Compared with the prior art, the decomposable route exploring capsule provided by the embodiment can be decomposed into the inner core part 1 and each independent shell unit under the action of the magnetic field, and the volume of each independent shell unit and the volume of the inner core part 1 are smaller than the volume of the decomposable route exploring capsule before decomposition, so that the discharge of a user is facilitated, and the decomposable route exploring capsule is prevented from being detained in the body of the user.

On the basis of the above embodiment, it is possible that the deformation unit is the magnetic elongation portion 21 that elongates and deforms under the action of the magnetic field, and at least one of the housing units is the holding portion whose shape remains unchanged under the action of the magnetic field.

The way of assembling the magnetically extendable portion 21 with the holder portion can save material costs by providing the holder portion, since the material costs of the deformation unit are higher than the material costs of the holder portion.
