The side trolley 11 includes at least one image arm 110 and a tool arm 112. An image acquisition device is mounted on the image arm 110, and the image acquisition device is communicatively connected with the display device, and is used to acquire image information of the surgical environment and provide it to the display device. The image acquisition device is used to acquire and provide image information of the surgical environment including human tissues and organs, surgical instruments, blood vessels, and body fluids to the display device. A surgical instrument 113 is mounted on the tool arm 112. The image acquisition device may be an endoscope 111 or a laparoscope, for example. The endoscope 111 and the surgical instrument 113 respectively enter the patient's position through the wound on the patient's body to achieve minimally invasive surgical treatment. Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the doctor console 20 includes a main operating hand 22. The master operator 22, the tool arm 112 of the side cart 11 and the surgical instrument 113 constitute a master-slave control relationship. Specifically, the tool arm 112 moves according to the movement of the main operating hand 22 during the operation, that is, moves according to the operation of the doctor's hand. Further, the main operating hand 22 also receives the force information of the human tissues and organs on the surgical instrument 113 and feeds it back to the doctor's hand, so that the doctor can more intuitively feel the surgical operation.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the display device 21 includes a switching component (not shown), a display 211 and two optical path components 210. Preferably, the display device 21 further includes a housing 24 and an observation window 23. The display 211 and the two light path components 210 are arranged inside the housing 24, and the observation window 23 is arranged on the housing 24 for the observer to observe images of the surgical environment. Preferably, the display device 21 is arranged on the doctor console 20. Furthermore, the doctor console 20 further includes a control component (not shown) for connecting with the main operating hand 22. The original image information acquired by the endoscope 111 or the processed image information obtained by processing the original image information can be transmitted to the control component, and the control component is used to process the original image information or the original image information through processing. The image information is transmitted to the display device 21. Those skilled in the art should understand that the switching component in the display device 21 and the control component in the doctor console 20 may be a whole, that is, the function of the switching component can be implemented in the control component. This is also within the protection scope of the present invention. Preferably, the display device 21 further includes an observation plane and a symmetry plane, and the observation plane is arranged perpendicular to the symmetry plane. Here, the “symmetry plane” can be a physical object or a virtual object, and the observation plane The surface can coincide with the plane where the observation window 23 is located for observation by the observer. The display 211 includes two display areas, a first display area 211L and a second display area 211R, respectively. Preferably, the first display area 211L and the second display area 211R are arranged symmetrically about the symmetry plane. The two display areas are respectively used for receiving image information and respectively displaying the first image and the second image. It should be understood that the first display area 211L is not limited to be located on the left side of the second display area 211R as shown in FIG. 3, but it means that the first display area 211L and the second display area 211R are two oppositely arranged display areas. The positions of the one display area 211L and the second display area 211R are interchangeable. In particular, the two display areas may be composed of two different displays respectively, or may be composed of different display areas in the same display, which is not limited in the present invention.

The two optical path components 210 are respectively a first optical path component 210L and a second optical path component 210R. Preferably, the first optical path component 210L and the second optical path component 210R are arranged symmetrically about the plane of symmetry, and the first optical path component 210L is used for Receive the first image and form a first virtual image for one eye of the observer, and the second optical path component 210R is used to receive the second image and form the other eye for the observer The second virtual image is perceived, and the first virtual image and the second virtual image are arranged in the same direction. The three-dimensional image can be formed in the brain when the observer's left and right eyes respectively observe a virtual image with the same arrangement direction and lateral parallax. The arrangement of the first virtual image and the second virtual image in the same direction means that the postures of the same object described in the first virtual image and the second virtual image in each virtual image are the same or similar. For example, the first virtual image is an image with an arrow pointing up, and the second virtual image must also be an image with an arrow pointing up. Preferably, the first optical path component 210L and the second optical path component 210R are configured to make the image planes of the first virtual image and the second virtual image parallel to the observation plane. More preferably, according to the overlapping features of the left and right eyes of the human eye, and in order to make the display device more compact, the first light path component 210L and the second light path component 210R are configured to make the first virtual image and the second virtual image in The horizontal direction (ie, the lateral direction) overlaps at least partially. The "overlap" here can mean overlapping on the first virtual image and the second virtual image on the same virtual plane, or it can be understood that the projection planes of the first virtual image and the second virtual image respectively projected onto a parallel plane overlap each other. Preferably, the first optical path component 210L and the second optical path component 210R are configured such that the image planes of the first virtual image and the second virtual image are both located on the same virtual plane 215. Similarly, it is not limited here that the first optical path component 210L is located on the left side of the second optical path component 210R, but refers to the first optical path component 210L and the second optical path component 210R as two opposing optical path components. Further, the first light path component 210L corresponds to the first display area 211L and is used to form a first virtual image, and the second light path component 210R corresponds to the second display area 211R and is used to form a second virtual image. The image plane position of the first virtual image can be changed by changing the structure of the first optical path component 210R. Similarly, the image plane position of the second virtual image can be changed by changing the structure of the second optical path component 210R.

The switching component includes a first state and a second state, and the switching component is configured to: when the switching component is in the first state, the two display areas respectively receive two different image information with lateral parallax ; When the switching component is in the second state, the two display areas receive the same image information. Specifically, please refer to FIG. 6 in conjunction with FIG. 2. When the switching component is configured in the first state, the display mode of the display device 21 is a three-dimensional mode, and the two display areas respectively receive different values with lateral parallax. The two image information, and form the first image and the second image. After passing through the optical path component 210, the first image forms a first virtual image 215L, the second image forms a second virtual image 215R, and the first virtual image 215L and the second virtual image 215R have lateral parallax. The observer’s eyes are located on the observation surface. For example, when the observation window 23 (human eye observation point LR) observes, the left eye is at the human eye observation point L, the first virtual image 215L is observed by the left eye, and the right eye is at the human eye observation point R. The second virtual image 215R is observed by the right eye, and the first virtual image 215L and the second virtual image 215R with lateral parallax enter the left and right eyes of the observer respectively. With the recognition and matching ability of the brain, the synthesized three-dimensional image can be observed. When the switching component is configured in the second state, the display mode of the display device 21 is a two-dimensional mode, the first image and the second image are the same image, and after passing through the optical path component 210, the first The first virtual image 215L formed by the image and the second virtual image 215R formed by the second image are also the same image. At this time, the left and right eyes of the observer see the same image, and thus the two-dimensional image is observed. In the display device provided by this embodiment, the switching component is used to switch between the first state and the second state. When the switching component is in the first state, the two display areas are made to receive two different images with lateral parallax. Information; when the switching component is in the second state, the two display areas receive the same image information; so that the display mode of the display device 21 can be switched between the three-dimensional mode and the two-dimensional mode, and the doctor can easily select the appropriate one according to needs The image display mode not only helps doctors alleviate eye fatigue caused by long-term observation of three-dimensional images, but also helps to observe objects in different situations, especially when the endoscope 111 is close to the surgical instrument 113 or human tissue. The two-dimensional plane image is easier to be recognized and observed by the observer, so it is especially suitable for the situation where the object to be observed is closer.

Preferably, the display device 21 further includes a switch, the switch is in communication connection with the switch component, and the observer inputs an instruction to make the switch component between the first state and the second state by operating the switch Switching, in turn, controls the display device 21 to switch between the three-dimensional mode and the two-dimensional mode, so that the doctor can switch when visual fatigue or select a more appropriate image display mode according to factors such as the position of the displayed object, and improve the safety of the operation. It should be noted that the present invention has no particular restrictions on the specific shape and position of the switch, which can be a virtual button on the display device 21, can be a physical component on the doctor's console, such as the main operating hand 22, or Physical parts located near the feet of the observer, etc.

Further, please refer to Figures 3 to 6, the first virtual image and the second virtual image are arranged along the vertical direction, and are located on the same horizontal height, that is, the first virtual image and the second virtual image are respectively vertical to the horizontal plane, and both are along the horizontal Direction arrangement. In the operation, the observer is generally sitting or standing, and the binocular connection is generally horizontal. Therefore, the first virtual image 215L and the second virtual image 215R are arranged along the vertical direction and are located at the same horizontal height, which is beneficial for the observer to observe.

The optical path component 210 is preferably a reflective component, and the reflective component is used to reflect the image displayed by the display 211. The following takes the first optical path assembly 210L as an example for specific introduction. The reflecting assembly includes a first left reflecting mirror 212L and a second left reflecting mirror 213L. The first left mirror 212L is arranged at an angle to the corresponding first display area 211L; the second left mirror 213L is arranged at an angle to the first left mirror 212L, and one of the second left mirrors 213L extends The direction is the same as one extension direction of the observation surface, and the other extension direction of the second mirror 213L is arranged at an angle to the other extension direction of the observation surface. Generally, a plane can be considered to have two extension directions (that is, the directions of two adjacent sides, such as the X and Y directions perpendicular to each other), and the mirror and the observation surface can be abstracted into a plane, so both It has two extension directions, namely the directions of two adjacent sides of the mirror and the observation surface respectively. Here, an extension direction of the second left mirror 213L is the same as an extension direction of the observation surface, which can ensure that the arrangement direction of the first virtual image 215L observed from the observation surface will not be changed by the second left mirror 213L . For example, one extension direction of the second left mirror 213L and one extension direction of the observation surface both extend in the vertical direction, so that the arrangement direction of the first virtual image 215L can also be the vertical direction. Wherein, the reflection component is configured such that, after the first image is displayed by the first display area 211L, it is reflected by the first left mirror 212L and the second left mirror 213L in order to form a first virtual image 215L. In this embodiment, each optical path assembly preferably includes two reflective devices. If the number of reflective devices in the optical path assembly is too large, the display device 21 will be bulky and increase the difficulty of installation; and if the number of reflective devices is too small (such as Only one piece) will cause the size of the reflective device to be too large, which in turn will also cause the display device 21 to be bulky.

As shown in FIG. 4, in an exemplary embodiment, the first display area 211L and the second display area 211R are both separate displays, and the two light path components and the two display areas are all arranged symmetrically about the symmetry plane. The first display area 211L is located above the first left mirror 212L and the second left mirror 213L, and the second left mirror 213L is located between the symmetry plane and the first left mirror 212L. As shown in FIG. 5, the first left mirror 212L is used to reflect the first image displayed in the first display area 211L to form a left virtual image 214L; the second left mirror 213L is used to perform a first reflection on the left virtual image 214L. The second reflection forms a first virtual image 215L. According to the imaging principle, the left virtual image 214L and the first image displayed in the first display area 211L are symmetric about the first left mirror 212L, and the left virtual image 214L and the first virtual image 215L are symmetric about the second left mirror 213L. Further, by adjusting the arrangement angles of the first display area 211L, the first left mirror 212L, and the second left mirror 213L, the first image in the first display area 211L passes through the first left mirror 212L and the second left mirror 213L. The reflection forms a first virtual image 215L, which is parallel to the observation surface. The angle of the second left mirror 213L may be determined according to the angle of the first virtual image 215L and the angle of the left virtual image 214L. Furthermore, the image plane of the left virtual image 214L is parallel to the symmetry plane, and the angle of the first left mirror 212L can be determined according to the angle of the first display area 211L and the left virtual image 214L. Preferably, the two extension directions of the first left mirror 212L and the two extension directions of the second left mirror 213L are respectively arranged at an angle. More preferably, the first left mirror 212L is arranged perpendicular to the image plane of the first virtual image 215L, which is beneficial to reduce the volume of the entire optical path assembly. The second optical path component 210R has the same configuration as the first optical path component 210L and is symmetrical to the first optical path component 210L about the symmetry plane. The second optical path component 210R includes a first right mirror 212R and a second right mirror 213R, The first right mirror 212R is used to reflect the second image displayed in the second display area 211R to form a right virtual image 214R, and the second right mirror 213R is used to reflect the right virtual image 214R a second time to form a second virtual image 215R. The specific structure and principle of the second optical path assembly 210R are the same as those of the first optical path assembly 210L, and will not be repeated here.

Preferably, the display device 21 further includes an offset adjustment device (not shown), the offset adjustment device is used to adjust the optical path assembly 210 to adjust the gap between the first virtual image 215L and the second virtual image 215R To adjust the horizontal overlap range of the two virtual images. The offset adjustment device can control the arrangement angle of each reflector in the optical path assembly 210 in linkage, so that different observers can adjust the displacement of the first virtual image 215L and the second virtual image 215R as needed to adjust the first virtual image 215L and the second virtual image 215L.

Since the right eye of ordinary people is more sensitive, preferably, the first original image information is transmitted to the display area corresponding to the right eye, such as the second display area 211R. Since the first image and the second image displayed on the display 211 have lateral parallax, the first virtual image and the second virtual image formed through the optical path component also have lateral parallax. In addition, the first virtual image and the second virtual image are respectively observed by the left eye and the right eye of the observer. Therefore, a corresponding three-dimensional image is formed in the brain of the observer.

The display device and the surgical robot of the second embodiment of the present invention are basically the same as those of the first embodiment, and the same parts will not be described, and only the different points will be described below.

Please refer to FIG. 8, which is a flowchart of image merging provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the endoscope 111 is a three-dimensional endoscope, and the three-dimensional endoscope is used to obtain two images with The two-dimensional original image with lateral parallax is output, and the second original image information including the information of the two two-dimensional original images with lateral parallax is output. The display device 21 further includes an image merging component, and the image merging component is respectively communicatively connected with the switching component. The image merging component is used to receive the second parallax image information and can process the second parallax image information to obtain a combined image information, wherein the second parallax image information includes two two-dimensional images with lateral parallax information. Similar to the foregoing embodiment, the second parallax image information received by the image merging component here may be the second original image information output by the three-dimensional endoscope, or it may be the second original image information mentioned above through other processing components using existing technology The processed image information, such as image denoising, image contrast adjustment, image distortion correction, image size cropping, image gray-scale processing, etc. (It should be understood that the processed image information also includes two two with lateral parallax Image information). In this regard, this embodiment does not impose restrictions.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the switching component is configured in the first state 910 according to an external instruction 901 obtained by an input device (for example, the above-mentioned switch), the switching component 902 notifies the image merging component The processing function is turned off 911, the switching component 914 receives the second parallax image information 903 (which includes the information 912 of the first two-dimensional image and the information 913 of the second two-dimensional image), and combines the information of the first two-dimensional image 912 and the information 913 of the second two-dimensional image are respectively transmitted to the two display areas (that is, the first display area 915 and the second display area 916), so that the first image and the second image displayed in the two display areas The image has lateral parallax, so that the display mode of the display device 21 is the three-dimensional mode 917. When the switching component is configured in the second state 920, the switching component notifies the processing function of the image merging component to start 921. At this time, the image merging component processes the second disparity image information 903 and obtains the merged image information 922, and the switching component 924 receives the merged image information 922 and provides it to the two display areas (ie, the first display area). 925 and the second display area 926), so that the first image and the second image displayed in the two display areas are the same, so that the display mode of the display device 21 is the two-dimensional mode 927.

This embodiment does not specifically limit the specific implementation method for the image merging component to obtain the merged image information according to the received second disparity image information. For example, when the switching component is switched to the second state by an external command, the display mode of the display device is a two-dimensional mode. At this time, the switching component controls the processing function of the image merging component to be turned on. The image merging component receives the second original image information output by the three-dimensional endoscope, and performs image segmentation on two two-dimensional original images in the second original image information, and corrects the segmented blocks to obtain a merge Image, and output the combined image information. The switching component transmits the combined image information to the two display areas.

Further, the first virtual image and the second virtual image formed by the first image and the second image through the optical path component also have lateral parallax, and the first virtual image and the second virtual image are respectively observed by the left eye and the right eye of the observer, therefore, A corresponding three-dimensional image is formed in the observer's brain.

In some other embodiments, the switching component can also be used to directly switch the display mode of the display device. Specifically, when the switching component is configured in the second state, the display device is no longer equipped with an image merging module, but receives the second parallax image information through the switching component, and combines the second disparity image information contained therein. The information of the two-dimensional image is provided to the two display areas, and the information of the other two-dimensional image is discarded. This setting can also achieve a similar effect. Preferably, the observer can select any one of the two-dimensional original image information in the second parallax image information for output through the input device. In some cases, one of the two original two-dimensional images acquired by the three-dimensional endoscope may include the target position to be observed, while the other cannot be observed due to angle or parallax. , At this time, you can output the required two-dimensional image through the observer's choice.
