Description

Flexible laparoscope auxiliary robot based on flexible cable drive continuum configuration
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medical robots, and particularly relates to a flexible laparoscope auxiliary robot based on a flexible cable drive continuum structure.
Background
Compared with open surgery, the laparoscopic surgery has the advantages of small incision, clear visual field, less bleeding during surgery, light postoperative pain, quick recovery and the like, is deeply welcomed by doctors and patients, and can provide a clearer and more natural three-dimensional visual field for an operator to ensure that the hand-eye coordination of the operator is more coordinated. Until now, laparoscopy has been widely used in the fields of abdominal surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, urology surgery, gynecology, vascular surgery, etc.
Most of the laparoscopes in the market are rigid laparoscopes, the traditional rigid laparoscopes are formed by directly connecting rigid straight rods with laparoscope lenses, the laparoscope is large in size, single in structure and single in angle, bending adjustment of a certain angle cannot be achieved, the vision provided by the laparoscope lenses is limited, and the wide vision is difficult to provide. In addition, the traditional rigid laparoscope has high overall rigidity, and can be influenced by factors such as external tremor and the like in the long-time operation process, and the characteristic of rigid motion of the traditional rigid laparoscope is easy to cause damage to minimally invasive holes in the surface of a human body and tissues and organs in the human body. Compared with the traditional rigid laparoscope, the flexible laparoscope has more advantages by adopting a flexible structure at the tail end of the rigid rod.
The flexible structure of the flexible laparoscope auxiliary robot can obtain a larger visual field through tiny change, and the flexible laparoscope auxiliary robot can work in a limited space in the abdominal cavity at multiple angles, plays a role in visual field tracking and is greatly convenient for the operation process. In addition, a series of complex operations can be carried out in the abdominal cavity of the human body by virtue of the flexible movement mode, the human body is not easy to be damaged, and the safety and flexibility of the laparoscope in the operation in the abdominal cavity are improved. However, the existing flexible structure is a discrete structure, which is composed of a plurality of small elements and is difficult to control, so that the accuracy and flexibility of the flexible structure are not enough to meet the real-time control requirement of the operation. Therefore, the flexible laparoscope auxiliary robot based on the flexible cable drive continuum structure is planned to be designed to be economical, universal and miniaturized, and achieves simple and convenient optimization of the mechanism while realizing sensitive and stable operation.
