Description

Flexible laparoscope auxiliary robot based on flexible cable driving 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 driving continuum configuration.
Background
Compared with the open surgery, the laparoscopic surgery has the advantages of small incision, clear visual field, less bleeding in the surgery, light postoperative pain, quick recovery and the like, is popular with doctors and patients, and can provide a clearer and natural three-dimensional visual field for operators, so that the hand-eye coordination of the operators is more coordinated. Until now, laparoscopes have been widely used in the fields of abdominal surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, urology surgery, gynecology, vascular surgery, etc.
Most of laparoscopes in the market at present are rigid laparoscopes, and the traditional rigid laparoscopes are formed by directly connecting a rigid straight rod with a laparoscope lens, so that the volume is large, the structure is single, the angle is single, bending adjustment at a certain angle cannot be realized, the visual field provided by the laparoscope lens is limited, and the wide visual field is difficult to provide. In addition, the traditional rigid laparoscope has higher overall rigidity, and can be influenced by factors such as external tremors and the like in a long-time operation process, and the characteristics of rigid movement of the traditional rigid laparoscope are easy to damage minimally invasive holes on the surface of a human body and tissues and organs in the human body. The flexible laparoscope has more advantages over conventional rigid laparoscopes by employing a flexible structure at the end of the rigid rod.
The flexible structure of the flexible laparoscope-assisted robot can obtain a larger visual field through small changes, and the flexible structure can realize multi-angle work in a limited space in the abdominal cavity, so that the visual field tracking capability is achieved, and the surgical process is greatly facilitated. In addition, a series of complex operations can be performed in the abdominal cavity of the human body by virtue of the flexible movement mode, the human body is not easily damaged, and the safety and flexibility of the laparoscopic operation in the abdominal cavity are improved. However, the existing flexible structure is a discrete structure, and is composed of a plurality of small elements, so that the control is difficult, and the accuracy and flexibility are insufficient to meet the real-time control requirement of the operation. Therefore, a flexible laparoscope auxiliary robot based on a flexible cable driving continuum configuration is planned to be designed, the cost is economical, the universality and the miniaturization are realized, and the simple and convenient optimization of a mechanism is realized while the sensitive and stable operation is realized.
