Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of origami robot technology, specifically relating to a laser scanning and cutting endoscope robot based on a carbon fiber origami micro-vibrating mirror. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of medical technology, laser minimally invasive surgery has become a rising star in the field of modern surgery, attracting much attention and praise. Compared with traditional surgical methods, laser minimally invasive surgery, with its significant advantages such as minimal trauma, rapid recovery, and reduced complication rates, is gradually gaining widespread recognition and favor from doctors and patients. Compared with traditional manual laser minimally invasive surgery, robot-controlled laser surgery has significant advantages in terms of precision, surgical size, and incision quality. By using the reflection of a galvanometer system to change the propagation path of the laser, flexible adjustment of the laser direction can be achieved. Existing micro-laser steering devices exhibit excellent performance in terms of workspace, dynamic characteristics, and motion precision.
[0003] For the millimeter-scale mechanical design of minimally invasive surgical robot systems, traditional processes are no longer suitable. Efficiently constructing microscale mechanical structures with excellent mechanical properties has become a major challenge in building microsystems. Meanwhile, real-time lesion information feedback is indispensable in minimally invasive laser surgery. Traditional laser surgical systems mostly rely on camera recording, but for situations requiring multi-viewpoint 3D imaging to obtain precise surface morphology, traditional camera recording methods struggle to reduce the size of the surgical robot.

[0064] like Figure 5a and Figure 5bAs shown, the carbon fiber origami transmission structure 11 consists of a first transmission mechanism 111, a second transmission mechanism 112, a third transmission mechanism 113, and a fixing mechanism 114, which are sequentially hinged.

The fourth transmission mechanism 124 of structure two is provided with a Y-mirror slot 1241; the Y-mirror 9 is fitted and fixedly connected in the Y-mirror slot 1241; after the Y-mirror 9 is embedded in the Y-mirror slot 1241, it is fixedly connected to the fourth transmission mechanism 124 of structure two and moves together with the fourth transmission mechanism 124 of structure two; the fixing mechanism 125 of structure two is fixedly connected to the first layer of fiberglass board 421 and the third layer of fiberglass board 423; the fixing mechanism 125 of structure two is provided with two slots, one slot in which the first layer of fiberglass board 421 is fitted and fixed, and the other slot in which the third layer of fiberglass board 423 is fitted and fixed; the fixing mechanism 125 of structure two is provided with a clearance slot 1253 between the two slots, the clearance slot 1253 is used to make way for the carbon fiber origami transmission structure 11, so that the carbon fiber origami transmission structure 11 can pass through and avoid interference.
[0066] Structure 1's first transmission mechanism 111, Structure 1's second transmission mechanism 112, Structure 1's third transmission mechanism 113, Structure 1's fixing mechanism 114, Structure 2's fixing mechanism 125, Structure 2's fourth transmission mechanism 124, Structure 2's third transmission mechanism 123, Structure 2's second transmission mechanism 122, and Structure 2's first transmission mechanism 121 are all made of carbon fiber; Structure 1's first moving joint 1111, Structure 1's second moving joint 1121, Structure 1's third moving joint 1132, Structure 2's first moving joint 1252, Structure 2's second moving joint 1242, Structure 2's third moving joint 1231, and Structure 2's fourth moving joint 1221 are all made of polyimide; each moving joint can be bonded to the transmission mechanism and fixing mechanism using acrylic acid.
[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a groove 131 is provided at one end of the fixed lens bracket 13, and a first layer of fiberglass board 421 is embedded and fixedly connected in the groove 131; a fixed lens 7 slot is provided at the other end of the fixed lens bracket 13 facing the GRIN lens 5; the fixed lens 7 is embedded and fixedly connected in the fixed lens 7 slot, and the fixed lens 7 is fixedly connected to the fixed lens bracket 13 after being embedded in the fixed lens 7 slot.
[0068] like Figure 1 As shown, the first piezoelectric bicrystalline wafer driver 2 is fixedly installed between the first transmission mechanism 111 of structure one and the fourth layer of fiberglass plate 424 of support structure 4, and is used to drive the X-mirror 8 to rotate via the carbon fiber origami transmission mechanism 11. The second piezoelectric bicrystalline wafer driver 3 is fixedly installed between the first transmission mechanism 121 of structure two and the fifth layer of fiberglass plate 425 of support structure 4, and is used to drive the Y-mirror 9 to rotate via the carbon fiber origami transmission mechanism 2 12. Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the top of each of the two piezoelectric bicrystalline wafer drivers has a smaller protrusion, and the bottom of each has a larger protrusion.

[0070] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The spatial rectangular coordinate system XYZ is established in the middle, with the origin position arbitrary. The direction perpendicular to the upper surface of GRIN lens 5 is the Z-axis, and the direction parallel to the third motion joint 1132 of the origami transmission structure 1 is the Y-axis. The X-axis is perpendicular to both the Y-axis and the Z-axis.
[0071] like Figure 5b As shown, when the first transmission mechanism 111 of structure one moves along the X-axis, it can drive the second transmission mechanism 112 of structure one to move, thereby enabling the third transmission mechanism 113 of structure one to rotate about the third motion joint 1132 of structure one, thus realizing the function of driving the X-ray mirror 8 to rotate; as Figure 5d As shown, when the first transmission mechanism 121 of structure two moves along the Y-axis, it can drive the second transmission mechanism 122 of structure two to move, and then drive the third transmission mechanism 123 of structure two to move, thereby enabling the fourth transmission mechanism 124 of structure two to rotate around the edge of the fixed mechanism 125 of structure two, thus realizing the function of driving the Y-mirror 9 to rotate.
[0072] like Figure 4a , Figure 4b as well as Figure 4c The fixed mirror 7 is fixedly connected to the fixed mirror bracket 13; the incident galvanometer system light A is reflected by the fixed mirror 7, and the reflected light B is directed to the Y galvanometer 9. The reflected light C is reflected by the X galvanometer 8 to obtain the outgoing galvanometer system light D; the carbon fiber origami structure II moves along the Y-axis, giving the Y galvanometer 9 one degree of freedom to rotate around the Z-axis, and the carbon fiber origami structure I moves along the X-axis, giving the X galvanometer 8 one degree of freedom to rotate around the Y-axis. The rotation angle range of both the X galvanometer 8 and the Y galvanometer 9 is ±10°, ultimately achieving that the outgoing galvanometer system light D has two degrees of freedom and can vary within a certain spatial range.
[0073] The operating principle of the aforementioned laser scanning and cutting endoscope robot is as follows:
[0074] First, the principle of laser three-dimensional scanning in the aforementioned laser scanning and cutting endoscopic robot is described in detail. A specific wavelength of laser light (with the highest reflectivity to the scanned tissue) is input at the laser input end, and then... Figure 4a The galvanometer system shown, comprising a fixed mirror 7, an X-mirror 8, and a Y-mirror 9, enables precise control of the laser path, thereby achieving scanning of internal human tissues. Based on... Figure 7The laser interferometry principle illustrated here can measure the depth information of tissue surface E. A laser beam is emitted through fiber 6, reflected by a galvanometer system, and then strikes the tissue surface E. The reflected light signal interferes with a reference light signal within the optical circulator F, and the interference signal is received by a photoelectric sensor. By analyzing the spectrum of the interference signal, the distance between the surgical robot and the tissue surface E can be accurately calculated. Using point-by-point scanning technology, the system can obtain three-dimensional surface information of the target area and generate an accurate three-dimensional surface model.
[0075] Secondly, the lesion diagnosis aspect of the aforementioned laser scanning and cutting endoscopic robot is described in detail. A specialist physician determines the normality of the tissue based on the three-dimensional surface model obtained from the laser scan. If abnormalities are found, the physician can further determine the optimal laser cutting path based on this three-dimensional surface model. In this way, a large amount of data on the relationship between the three-dimensional surface model, tissue state, and laser cutting path can be collected and used to build a training set for training a deep learning model for lesion diagnosis. The trained model can automatically determine the normality of tissue, identify different types of lesions, and generate the optimal laser cutting path based on the three-dimensional surface model obtained from the laser scan, thereby achieving automatic diagnosis and intelligent generation of surgical plans.
[0076] Then, the laser cutting aspect of the aforementioned laser scanning and cutting endoscopic robot is described in detail. A laser for surgical cutting is input at the laser input end, and combined with a trained deep learning model for lesion diagnosis, this model can automatically generate the optimal cutting path based on the three-dimensional surface model obtained from the laser scan. Subsequently, using... Figure 4a The three-mirror system shown precisely controls the laser path, enabling the laser to cut along the generated path and thus achieve precise removal of the lesion.
[0077] Finally, the overall implementation plan of the laser scanning and cutting endoscopic robot is described in detail. A laser of a specific wavelength for three-dimensional scanning (this wavelength has the highest reflectivity to the scanned tissue) is input at the laser input end. The three-dimensional surface model of the target area is obtained through point-by-point scanning and laser interferometric ranging principle. Then, the lesion diagnosis model automatically generates the optimal cutting path based on the three-dimensional surface model. The laser input end is switched to the laser used for surgical cutting, and the galvanometer system controls the laser to complete the cutting along the generated path, thereby achieving precise removal of the lesion.
[0078] The aforementioned laser scanning and cutting endoscopic robot integrates all components into a single carbon fiber origami micro-mirror structure, ensuring that the device is lightweight, flexible, precise, and controllable, enabling it to complete a series of surgical tasks such as scanning, diagnosis, planning, and resection through a single device.
[0079] The aforementioned laser scanning and cutting endoscopic robot utilizes frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) laser ranging technology. During surgery, it can measure the distance between the surgical robot and the tissue in real time. Through point-by-point scanning, a three-dimensional surface model of the target area can be obtained. A deep learning model for lesion diagnosis is constructed and trained on a large dataset provided by professional physicians. The trained deep learning model can automatically determine the tissue state and generate the optimal cutting path based on the three-dimensional surface model obtained from laser scanning. By integrating laser three-dimensional scanning, lesion diagnosis, and laser cutting technologies, seamless integration of tissue observation and lesion resection can be achieved, providing a precise and efficient surgical solution. The frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) laser ranging technology uses a photodetector to acquire a coherent light spectrum generated by the interference of reference and reflected light, encoding distance information based on the phase difference between the reference and reflected light. This measurement method can achieve micron-level distance resolution, accurately estimating the minimum distance between the surgical robot and the measured tissue. Due to its small size and timely feedback, it can be integrated into laser minimally invasive surgical robots for strategies on the surface morphology of in vivo tissues, providing crucial information for lesion observation and surgical path planning.
