- the inside of the blood vessel is scanned with ultrasonic waves of 20 to 30 MHz emitted from the ultrasonic sensor 82, and echo images in all directions of 360 degrees are obtained.
- FIG. 7 shows an example of an ultrasonic operating device in which the actuator 4 is a tube.
- the ultrasonic operating device is covered with a rubber tube 6.
- Operation A rotating blade 41 is attached around the tip of the child 4 (tube), and an optical fiber F is mounted inside the tube.
- An endoscope 4 3 is attached to the tip of the optical fiber 1 F, and the actuator 4 rotates in the stators 3 A and 3 B. At this time, the optical fiber F does not rotate.
- a doctor or the like can perform excision of the affected part while visually observing the affected part through the optical fiber F.
- FIGS. 8A and 8B show an example in which a slit S is provided on the stator 11 of the ultrasonic operating device.
- FIG. 8 (A) the circumferential displacement of the actuator hole H is promoted, and in FIG. 8 (B), the axial force of the actuator hole H is increased.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a control mechanism of a precision machining apparatus in which the stators, the actuators, and the stator and the actuators of the ultrasonic operating device of the present invention are coupled.
- the table has a first support portion 9 1 and a second support portion 92, and an actuator 4 of the ultrasonic operating device 21 attached to the first support portion 91 and a second support The actuator 4 of the ultrasonic operating device 2 2 attached to the part 9 2 is coupled.
- Actuator 4 of ultrasonic operating device 2 1 can perform rotation R 1 and sliding S 1
- Actuator 4 of ultrasonic operating device 2 2 can perform rotation R 2 and sliding S 2 Therefore, for example, the first support portion 9 1 is fixed to the table, and the second support portion 92 is fixed to the stage, so that the posture of the stage can be freely controlled.
- a table for a precision processing apparatus having multiple degrees of freedom can be configured by coupling the starters of ultrasonic operating devices, the actuators, and the stator and the actuator.
