[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment also provides a mechanical arm 2 that cooperates with a coupling positioning device, the coupling positioning device is the above-mentioned coupling positioning device, and the mechanical arm 2 includes a second detection component arranged on the mechanical arm 2, and the second detection component can receive the positioning detection signal of the first detection component and transmit it to the controller, or the second detection component sends a positioning detection signal to the first detection component.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first detection component is preferably a photoelectric sensor 106, and the second detection component is a light beam emitting mechanism. The light beam emitting mechanism includes a light emitting device 201 and a light collimating device 202 connected to the light emitting device 201. The photoelectric sensor 106 can be an existing photoelectric sensor.

[0049] In another preferred embodiment, the first detection component and the second detection component are provided with a unit for sending a positioning detection signal and a unit for receiving a positioning detection signal, and the unit for receiving a positioning detection signal is connected to a controller. Specifically, the unit for sending a positioning detection signal can be a light beam emitting mechanism; the unit for receiving a positioning detection signal can be a photoelectric sensor.

[0050] This embodiment also provides a positioning system, such as Figure 4 As shown, it includes the above-mentioned robotic arm 2 and at least one of the above-mentioned coupling positioning devices 103, the coupling positioning device receives the positioning signal sent by the robotic arm 2 or the coupling positioning device sends a positioning signal to the robotic arm 2, and the coupling positioning device or the robotic arm 2 transmits the received positioning signal to the controller.

[0051] When the coupling positioning device receives the positioning signal sent by the mechanical arm, the mechanical arm vertically sends the positioning signal to the coupling positioning device; when the coupling positioning device sends the positioning signal to the mechanical arm, the mechanical arm vertically detects the positioning signal.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the coupling positioning device body 103 is fixed to at least one of the sternal angle, xiphoid process and left and right anterior superior iliac spines of the human body. Preferably, there are four coupling positioning device bodies 103, which are fixed to the sternal angle, xiphoid process and left and right anterior superior iliac spines of the human body respectively.

[0053] In this embodiment, the robot 2 has at least three degrees of freedom, and can preferably be a six-degree-of-freedom robot. The position of its end manipulator can be accurately controlled or read by a controller (control computer). The second detection component is installed on the robot body or on the end manipulator. The specific installation method can be inlay, bonding, riveting and other connection methods. Taking the second detection component as a parallel beam generator as an example, the parallel beam generator includes a light emitting device 201 and a light collimating device 202 adjacent to its outer side. With the precise control of the posture of the end manipulator, the parallel light generator 202 can emit parallel light beams vertically downward. When the parallel light generator 202 emits parallel light beams vertically downward, the axis of the manipulator and the manipulator are in a straight line. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the manipulator can be a magnetic control device (such as a magnet) that can control the operation of an external magnetic device.

[0054] During the inspection process, if the coupling between the coupling positioning device body 103 and the specific bone it is positioning becomes loose or offset, or other abnormal conditions occur, the detection value of the pressure sensor 105 will change beyond the acceptable range, causing the alarm system to issue a warning and require the wearer to be re-donned. For example, a subtractor, a comparator and a threshold memory corresponding to the pressure sensor are provided in the controller. The pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is connected to an input end of the subtractor, and the other input end of the subtractor is connected to an initial detection value memory (which stores the initial value detected by the pressure sensor). The output end of the subtractor is connected to an input end of the comparator, and the other input end of the comparator is connected to the threshold memory. When the detected pressure change value is greater than the pressure change in the threshold memory, the controller issues an alarm.

[0055] This embodiment also provides a capsule endoscope system, including a capsule endoscope and a positioning system of the present invention, wherein the robotic arm 2 has a capsule operation control unit, and the robotic arm 2 controls the operation of the capsule endoscope through the capsule operation control unit. In this embodiment, the capsule endoscope is preferably a magnetically controlled capsule endoscope, and the manipulator 2 of the robotic arm 2 is provided with a control magnet. The controller has a robotic arm movement control unit, which is connected to the robotic arm, and specifically, an existing robotic arm movement control unit can be used. In another preferred embodiment, a magnetic field controller is provided in the controller, for example, the strength of the magnetic field is controlled by the magnitude of the applied current.

[0056] Specific operation process: First, the side of the coupling positioning device body 103 provided with the elastic buffer material 104 set on the elastic lace 101 is respectively contacted with at least one of the sternal angle, xiphoid process and left and right anterior superior iliac spines of the subject 3. Preferably, the sides of the four coupling positioning device bodies 103 filled with elastic buffer materials 104 are respectively contacted with the sternal angle, xiphoid process, left and right anterior superior iliac spines of the subject 3. Then the elastic lace 101 is tied to the human body, and the fixing buckle 102 on the elastic lace 101 is buckled. Under the premise of not causing physiological discomfort to the subject 3, a certain elastic tension is made on the fixed elastic lace 101 to ensure that the coupling positioning device body 103 is stably coupled with the specific bones of the human body. The controller records the current pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 105. If during the inspection process, the coupling of the coupling positioning device body 103 with these specific bones is loosened or offset, etc., the detection value of the pressure sensor 105 will change beyond the acceptable range, causing the control computer to issue a warning and require re-wearing.

[0057] If the coupling and positioning device body 103 is coupled normally with the specific human bones during the inspection process, the examinee 4 lies flat on the inspection table 3, and the robot arm 2 is controlled to move to the top of the coupling and positioning device body 103. At this time, the first detection component on the coupling and positioning device body 103 and the second detection component on the robot arm 2 cooperate, and the light emitting device 201 starts to emit a light beam outward, and the light collimating device 202 processes the light beam so that the light beam is vertically directed to the photoelectric sensor 106. In order to ensure the safety of the examinee 3, the robot arm 2 should maintain a certain safety distance from the examinee 3 during the positioning process. After the photoelectric sensor 106 detects the positioning light, it sends a signal to the controller. The signal sent out by the photoelectric sensor 106 may carry its position information or number information. The controller can display its position on the display device, thereby recording the position of the robot arm 2 at this time, thereby determining the relative position of the human body and the robot arm 2, and further obtaining the relative position of the capsule in the human body.
