Abstract

The invention discloses a soft endoscope. The soft endoscope comprises an endoscope insertion part and a soft actuator which are connected in sequence; the soft actuator comprises a body part and a head part which are connected in sequence; a cavity is formed in the soft actuator; the cavity penetrates through the soft actuator along a central shaft of the soft actuator; a camera, a light source and an optical fiber force sensor are arranged in the cavity of the head part; an air cavity which is circumferentially distributed in the axis direction of the cavity is formed in the body part; an air channel pipeline is arranged in the epidermis of the endoscope insertion part and is communicated with the air cavity, and the bending motion of the soft body actuator is adjusted through the air pressure input into the air cavity by the air channel pipeline in the endoscope insertion part, so that the soft actuator can move more flexibly in the body and has more abundant detection postures; in addition, an optical fiber force sensor is further arranged, palpation is carried out on a suspected focus area, in-vivo image information is collected, meanwhile, contact force data is further collected, and detection can be rapidly, safely and accurately completed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical endoscopes, and more specifically relates to a soft endoscope. Background technique [0002] Medical endoscope refers to an optical device that enters the human body through the natural orifice of the human body or through a small incision made by surgery to observe the area of ​​interest. Endoscopes of different lengths and diameters can be used to detect different areas of the human body. According to different detection areas, endoscopes can be divided into laparoscopes, neuroendoscopes, arthroscopes, esophagoscopes and other types. Endoscopes are widely used in the detection and treatment of various parts of the human body, and are extremely important medical equipment in modern medicine. [0003] After decades of development of endoscope technology, the main structure of medical endoscope is a long flexible tube at present. Medical workers use the control knob to control the cables inside the flexible...
