AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For example, to move a surgical instrument from one location in a patient's body to another, there are several possible movements that achieve roughly the same result, but the movements have an effect on how further movement is obtained
[0010] Also, the positioning of the robot on one possible axis may have an impact on how the robot moves along other axes

Embodiment Construction

[0033] figure 1 An example of a control assembly 1 for controlling the movement of an endoscope 6 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in . Preferably, the control assembly 1 is a mechanical assembly.

[0034] as from figure 2 As can be seen more clearly in the view of part of the control assembly 1 shown in , said control assembly 1 comprises a support structure 2 adapted to support a curved arm 3 . The supporting structure 2 and the curved arm 3 are arranged so that the curved arm 3 can rotate relative to the supporting structure 2 along a vertical axis 8 .

[0035] Said support structure 2 comprises a mounting member 5 adapted to fix the curved arm 3 to the rest of the support structure 2 . In order to allow the curved arm 3 to rotate relative to the support structure 2, the mounting member 5 may include one or more motors (not shown) configured to drive the curved arm 3 relative to the Clockwise 9 or counterclockwise 10 rotation of the mounting...

Abstract

A control assembly (1) for manipulating the movement of endoscopic instruments (6), said control assembly comprising: endoscopic instrument fixing devices (3, 4), said devices being adapted to receive endoscopic instruments (6) ) and provide only three independent degrees of freedom of movement for the endoscopic instrument (6) housed by said device, each degree of freedom of movement around or along a respective axis; three drive means, each of which drives means all arranged to drive said endoscopic instrument (6) along only one degree of freedom of movement; and three independent control assemblies (16, 17, 18) arranged to receive user input data, so that the actuation of each of the three independent control components (16, 17, 18) regulates one of three corresponding control signals, each of which controls the respective A drive that is independent of the other two drives.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a control assembly for operating the movement of endoscopic instruments. Embodiments of the present invention relate to the control assembly and methods of manufacturing the control assembly. Background technique [0002] There are many occasions that require observation and treatment at remote or inaccessible locations. In surgery, for example, it is sometimes necessary to operate on organs within the human body; in an industrial setting, certain parts may be nearly inaccessible for a maintenance engineer without dismantling the machine to reach the part concerned . [0003] In the case of surgery, the surgeon wishes to operate through the smallest possible incision to minimize scarring and damage to the patient (plus, a small incision reduces the risk of infection and reduces the patient's recovery time after surgery). [0004] Accordingly, there is a need for instruments and imaging devices with relatively small e...
