Problems solved by technology

However, the light intensity modulated sensor usually has the shortcomings of limited resolution and small measurement range, which brings certain difficulties to clinical application.
According to the working principle of light intensity modulation sensor, this kind of fiber optic sensor is sensitive to the loss of fiber bending and the change of input light intensity, which makes it prone to undesired wavelength drift, and it is difficult to achieve high accuracy and repeatability

Abstract

The invention relates to a one-dimensional palpation force sensor based on a fiber bragg grating. The sensor comprises a contact part, a force-sensitive flexible part, a fiber bragg grating and a support part, and is characterized in that the contact part, the force-sensitive flexible part and the support part are connected in sequence; the force-sensitive flexible part is formed by carrying out a configuration comprehensive design on a sarrus mechanism by adopting a rigid body replacement method, and is used for converting a contact force signal into a strain signal; the fiber bragg grating is suspended in the center of the force-sensitive flexible part under the action of a pre-tightening force, is used as a sensing element and is used for converting the strain signal into an optical signal; the contact part is provided with a hemispherical tip for concentrating a contact force at one point; and the supporting part is used for supporting and fixing the whole sensor. The force sensor has the advantages of being high in sensitivity, large in measurement range, high in linearity, high in biocompatibility, resistant to electromagnetic interference and the like, and interaction force information between a minimally invasive surgery robot and human tissue can be provided in minimally invasive surgery tissue palpation.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of fiber sensing techniques, and more particularly to a one-dimensional tactile sensor having a large measurement range and high resolution, which can be applied to clinical minimally invasive surgery. Background technique [0002] Compared with traditional open surgery, minimally invasive surgery has a small incision, small intraoperative pain, less bleeding, small trauma, and good postoperative effect. Minimally invasive surgical surgery by robots allows doctors to complete surgery more comfortable. Therefore, minimally invasive surgery assisted by robots is an inevitable development trend of surgical surgery. However, at this stage, the minimally invasive surgery robot is operated by the surgeon to directly contact the surgical area. It can only rely on visual feedback to obtain the surface information of the visual field, resulting in the lack of power information, and cannot achieve tumors below the surface of...
