如图6所示，本实施例中的支撑结构4包括：支撑结构4包括定位膨胀单元41和第二约束层42，定位膨胀单元41固定设置于管体2的周壁上，适于沿管体2的径向膨胀或收缩，并可在膨胀时与腔道固定，收缩时与腔道分离。第二约束层42，沿管体2的周向环绕在定位膨胀单元41的外部，适于限定定位膨胀单元41沿管体2的径向膨胀或收缩。定位膨胀单元41具有适于容纳流体的环形的第二流体容置腔45，第二流体容置腔45通过第二流体供排管道44与气体压力泵连通。通过气体压力泵向第二流体容置腔45内加压，使得定位膨胀单元41向径向膨胀钳制在腔道内，将推进结构3的一端或两端固定于腔道内某一位置，实现软体机器人主体的驻停探测，或者为推进结构3的伸缩提供驻足点，实现了软体机器人主体可以在腔道内的蠕虫式自主推进。
本实施例中的第二约束层42采用质地柔软的编织纤维丝，其缠绕方式如图7所示，纤维顺时针和逆时针对称缠绕，缠绕的夹角α在60-90°范围内，使得其包覆下的定位膨胀单元41被限制只能沿轴径向膨胀，从而实现了定位膨胀单元41的钳制作用。
如图6所示，本实施例中的支撑结构4还包括设置于管体2上、适于 利用负压将自主推进型软体机器人主体吸附于腔道上的负压定位装置43，负压定位装置43包括：设于管体2外周壁均匀布置上并与腔道连通的负压孔431，以及连接负压孔431与气体压力泵提供负压的支路相连的负压导管432。负压定位装置43能利用负压将负压孔431吸附于腔道壁上，实现了良好的固定效果。当配合定位膨胀单元41使用时，可以在腔道孔径较大，定位膨胀单元41无法固定时可以利用负压定位装置43辅助固定。
具体的，如图6所示，本实施例中的负压孔431设置于定位膨胀单元41所处的管体2外壁上，并沿管体2均匀分布有3个。
作为可替换的实施方式，支撑结构4可以仅设置负压定位装置43对软体机器人主体的一端进行定位，适合在较细的腔道中使用，防止定位膨胀单元41膨胀时对腔道壁产生较大的交互力，造成危险。
具体的，将先进入腔道的一端的支撑结构4设为定位A端，后进入一端设为定位B端，如图9所示，本实施例中的软体机器人主体在腔道内的运动过程如下：
阶段1，定位B端采用充气膨胀或者负压吸附与腔道壁固定，推进结构3与定位A端均保持自然状态；
阶段2，定位B端保持钳制状态，定位A端保持自然状态，推进结构3充气膨胀向前延伸或转向，并推动定位A端向前移动；
阶段3，定位B端和推进结构3分别保持钳制状态和伸长状态，定位膨胀A端采用充气膨胀或者负压吸附与腔道壁固定；
阶段4，定位B端泄压脱离腔道壁，推进结构3和定位A端分别保持钳制状态和伸长状态；
阶段5，定位B端保持自然状态，定位A端保持钳制状态，推进结构3泄压向前收缩，带动定位B端向前运动；
阶段6，定位B端采用充气膨胀或者负压吸附与腔道壁固定，推进结构3保持自然状态，定位A端保持钳制状态；
至此重复执行此循环过程，使得软体机器人主体连续向前运动，反之也可以向反方向运动。
如图1和图2所示，本实施例中的软体机器人主体具有先进入腔道的探测端12和与探测端12相对的连接管线部5的连接端11。探测端12上设有球面端头121，球面端头121与管线部5相连。管线部5从管体腔21中穿过，并从连接端11处穿出延伸到外部的气体压力泵等设备上。位于探测端12的支撑结构4所在部分的管体2与内部的管线部5固定连接，其余的管体2部分仅套设在管线部5外侧，可相对管线部5滑动。当管体2上的推进结构3和支撑结构4在运动时，带动内部的管线部5在腔道内行走。
如图2所示，本实施例中管线部5中包括可容纳手术器械通过的工作通道以及连接推进结构3和支撑结构4的驱动通道，第一流体供排管道38、第二流体供排管道44以及负压导管432穿过驱动通道分别与推进结构3、支撑结构4、负压定位装置43连接。
其中，工作通道包含多个设置在管线部中的管道，这些管道适于置入传感器、摄像头、供气供水和操作器械等。从而实现前端压力的测量和管道内物质成分的采集和检测、影像的采集、管道内供气供水、伸入操作器械实现夹取和管道清理等操作。如图10所示，探测端12的球面端头121上安装有突出的集成照明功能的微型CCD摄像头124、以及与工作通道相连 通的器械连接口122、输送管接口123等装置，工作通道中可使用活检钳、电刀、生理盐水注射器等多种医疗器械通过器械连接口122进入腔道内进行操作。输送管接口123与设在工作通道内的输送管连接，实现相关药物的传递或者注射。具体的，如图10所示，本实施例中的CCD摄像头124安装于工作通道在球面端头成型的管道口中(如图10中所示圆柱形突出部分)，并且左右对称布置各一个形成双目摄像头，通过设置于工作通道内的数据连接线与外部的控制系统8连接。由此生成软体机器人主体前部的立体图像，便于操作人员判断腔道环境。
本实施例的软体机器人主体还包括外包层，包覆设置于推进结构3和支撑结构4的外部。使用柔性材料的外包层能够降低对腔道的刺激，防止流体腔内的流体泄露从而污染人体腔道，起到保护和维持无菌的环境。
如图11所示，本实施例中的软体机器人主体上还设有检测装置7，压力传感器71，设于支撑结构4外侧并沿圆周均布，可检测支撑结构4对腔道的施加的压力；拉伸传感器72，设于推进结构3外侧并沿圆周均布，适于检测推进结构3的伸长或收缩状态。利用上述的传感器可以及时获知探测端12前部腔道内的情况以及软体机器人主体与腔道作用力的状态，进而可以将获取的数据反馈至处理部门处理后，转化为机械控制信号，发送至各个执行部门，从而及时调整软体机器人主体的运动状态，实现软体机器人主体的智能化运动。
本实施例中还包括与软体机器人主体以及气体压力泵相连的控制系统8，用于处理检测装置7发出的各种数据信息。也可以根据CCD摄像头124采集的图像数据自动识别腔道环境，对软体机器人的运动方向做出调整。 根据压力传感器71获得的压力数据自动调整气体压力泵所施加的气压，防止过度膨胀对腔道造成的伤害。以及根据拉伸传感器72获得的数据及时判断软体机器人主体当前的伸长或弯曲状态，进而向气体压力泵发出机械控制数据，调整推进结构3中的气压，实现了软体机器人主体的弯曲变向。
实施例2
本实施例提供一种自主推进型软体机器人主体，其与实施例1的区别在于，本实施例中的第一约束层34分别沿第一驱动单元31、第二驱动单元32和第三驱动单元33的周向环绕在第一驱动单元31、第二驱动单元32和第三驱动单元33外部，适于限定第一驱动单元31、第二驱动单元32和第三驱动单元33沿管体2的轴向伸长或收缩。如图11所示，将第一约束层34分别包覆在驱动单元外侧，对每个驱动单元的限制效果更为精确，同时也可以为各个驱动单元配置不同缠绕方式的第一约束层34，从而将推进结构3的伸长缩短或者扭转等多种动作的组合得以实现。
实施例3
如图13所示，本实施例提供一种自主推进型软体机器人主体，与实施例1中的主推进型软体机器人主体的区别在于，第一驱动单元31、第二驱动单元32和第三驱动单元33中分别具有第一膨胀体35，且第一流体容置腔37成型于第一膨胀体35中。具体的，如图12所示，管体2的周壁上沿周向均匀开有三个膨胀腔36，三个第一膨胀体35分别放置于每个膨胀腔36内且每个第一膨胀体35的形状与膨胀腔36相匹配，从而形成了第一驱动单元31、第二驱动单元32和第三驱动单元33。每个第一膨胀体35内部均开设有一个第一流体容置腔37，第一流体容置腔37的一端连接成型于第 一膨胀体内部的第一流体供排管道38。当流体进入第一流体容置腔37中时，第一膨胀体35发生膨胀，使得膨胀腔36也发生形变，进而带动膨胀腔36所在位置的管体2发生形变。此种结构的驱动单元实现了膨胀体的更换，防止因为单个驱动单元的损坏导致整个管体2的报废。
相应的，如图13所示，本实施例中的第一约束层34缠绕在第一膨胀体35的外壁中，用以限制第一膨胀体35的膨胀方向。当然，第一约束层34也可以缠绕在推进结构3所在的管体2的外部。
作为可替换的实施方式，本实施例中的第一驱动单元31、第二驱动单元32和第三驱动单元33的膨胀腔内也可以分别设有多个膨胀体，利用多个膨胀体协同膨胀实现了单个驱动单元的更多角度的变向，其灵活性得到了提高，运动姿态较为丰富。
实施例4
本实施例提供一种自主推进型软体机器人主体，其与实施例1的区别在于，推进结构3包括沿管体2周向均匀分布的大于3个所述驱动单元。相比于现有技术中推进机构仅能轴向直线伸长缩短的技术方案，通过设置均匀分布的多个驱动单元，可以为推进结构3提供更多的姿态变化，实现推进结构3的角度变化，使得软体机器人主体在三维空间内调整运动方向，从而能在腔道内做出更多的动作，实现在多分支的腔道和弯曲腔道中自由运动，以适应腔道的复杂环境。
实施例5
本实施例提供一种自主推进型软体机器人主体，其如图14所示，其结构与实施例1中的软体机器人主体的区别在于，本实施例中的软体机器人 主体沿管体2轴向布置有两个推进结构3和三个支撑结构4，三个支撑结构4分别设置于两个推进结构3的两端及中间。使用两段推进结构3和三个支撑结构4依次交替固定在管体2上，可以为软体机器人主体在腔道内提供更多的运动自由度，使其能够适应腔道复杂的弯曲变化。而三个支撑结构4可以为推进结构3提供更多支撑点，减小了单侧支撑结构4对腔道壁的集中作用力，降低了腔道穿孔的风险。同时此结构的软体机器人主体实现了推进结构3和支撑结构4的模块化设置，亦可使更多的支撑结构4和推进结构3相组合，使得软体机器人主体的推进方式更为多样化，运动更为灵活，仿真效果明显。在降低风险的同时能够适应腔道的复杂环境。
作为替换实施方式，本实施例中的推进结构3和支撑结构4也可以使用如图15中所示的“推进结构3+支撑结构4+推进结构3+支撑结构4”或者“支撑结构4+推进结构3+推进结构3+支撑结构4”等组合方式。
显然，上述实施例仅仅是为清楚地说明所作的举例，而并非对实施方式的限定。对于所属领域的普通技术人员来说，在上述说明的基础上还可以做出其它不同形式的变化或变动。这里无需也无法对所有的实施方式予以穷举。而由此所引伸出的显而易见的变化或变动仍处于本发明创造的保护范围之中。
