Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensing detection, and particularly relates to a Y-shaped cooperative operation device for a digestive endoscope and a fiber clamping-three-dimensional force sensing method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, the digestive endoscope technology has become the core means for the diagnosis and treatment of digestive tract diseases, and plays a key role in early screening and minimally invasive surgery.
[0003] However, the current digestive endoscope faces the core bottleneck of single-channel instrument limitation and intraoperative force sensing loss. The traditional endoscope can only deploy instruments through a single channel, and the surgical field and instruments follow, which cannot realize multi-instrument cooperation (such as simultaneous clamping and stripping), resulting in low surgical efficiency. For example, in the ESD surgery, instruments need to be frequently replaced, which prolongs the operation time and increases the risk of perforation. The existing instruments lack high-precision three-dimensional force sensing capability, and doctors can only rely on visual experience to judge the interaction force of the tissue, which is easy to cause bleeding or tissue damage due to improper force. The fixed angle camera is difficult to dynamically track the surgical target, and the endoscope position needs to be adjusted repeatedly, which aggravates the difficulty of hand-eye coordination.

[0040] Specifically, the hinge joints arranged in sequence and in series are machined from aluminum alloy. A wire guide 14 is arranged in the hinge joints, and four through holes are formed in the wire guide 14 in a circumferential direction for passing through first driving wires. Four second through holes are also formed in the wire guide 14 and arranged in a central symmetry at intervals of 90° for passing through two sub-operation arms 3, a push rod of a Y-shaped unfolding and folding assembly 2, and a pulling wire of an endoscope probe 22. Four driving wires are used to control bending of the main endoscope arm 1, and the four driving wires are arranged in a central symmetry at intervals of 90°. Every two driving wires arranged at intervals of 180° form a group for controlling bending degrees of freedom of the main endoscope arm 1.

The push rod drives the T-shaped rod 231 to approach or move away from the unfolding and folding connectors 233 to drive the two unfolding and folding connectors 233 to rotate and unfold and fold.
[0042] Specifically, the Y-shaped unfolding and folding assembly 2 comprises a split base 21 and an unfolding and folding assembly 23 formed by two unfolding and folding connectors 233. The base 21 is provided with buckles 212 below to connect a distal end of the main endoscope arm 1. The unfolding and folding assembly comprises a push rod, movable connecting rods 232, and an unfolding channel to form a crank slider mechanism with a common slider. The crank slider mechanism is fixed on the split base 21 through a pin shaft. When the push rod is pushed and pulled, the push rod drives the T-shaped rod 231 to approach or move away from the unfolding and folding connectors 233 to drive the two unfolding and folding connectors 233 to rotate and unfold and fold.
[0043] In some embodiments, the Y-shaped expansion opening and closing assembly 2 further comprises: an endoscope probe 22 rotationally connected to the base 21 on the side away from the probe irradiation direction; a torsion spring 222 located at the rotationally connected part of the endoscope probe 22 and the base 21, and fixedly connected to one end of the endoscope probe 22 and the other end of the base 21, and in the state that the torsion spring 222 is not stressed, the endoscope probe 22 is in a pre-tilted state; and a pulling guide wire extending from the front end of the main endoscope arm 1 through the second channel corresponding thereto to the end of the main endoscope arm 1, and fixedly connected to one side of the endoscope probe 22, and the pitch angle of the endoscope probe 22 is adjusted by pulling or loosening the pulling guide wire.

The endoscope probe 22 can be tilted down by driving the pulling guide wire, and the endoscope probe 22 can be tilted up by springing back under the action of the torsion spring when the pulling guide wire is loosened. The pitch of the camera is controlled in this way, so as to cover a wider area during the operation and make it easier to follow the operation target and ensure the hand-eye coordination during the operation.
[0045] In some embodiments, the first through hole and the second through hole are both four and staggered, and two of the second through holes which are centrally symmetric are used for the sub-operation arm 3 to pass through, and the other two of the second through holes which are centrally symmetric are used for the push rod or the pulling guide wire to pass through.
[0046] Specifically, by arranging the first through hole and the second through hole on the guide wire disc 14, sufficient space is provided for the sub-operation arm 3 and the driving push rod and / or guide wire of the expansion opening and closing assembly, so that the coordinated operation of the double sub-arms and the realization of the endoscope pitch adjustment become possible.
[0047] In some embodiments, the sub-operation arm 3 comprises: a front end spherical hinge joint 31, a plurality of intermediate spherical hinge joints 32 and a terminal spherical hinge joint 33 which are arranged in series and orthogonal to each other and are gap-fitted; adjacent two spherical hinge joints are rotationally connected through coaxially arranged spherical heads and spherical sockets gap-fitted, the circumferential surface of the spherical head is provided with at least one limiting protrusion, the spherical socket is provided with a limiting groove corresponding to the limiting protrusion, and the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove are slidingly fitted to limit the in-place torsion between adjacent spherical hinge joints.
[0048] Specifically, the spherical hinge joint is machined from an aluminum alloy, an axial cavity of the spherical hinge joint is provided for accommodating the clamp driving guide wire, and four through holes are provided in the circumferential direction of the spherical hinge joint for accommodating four second driving guide wires.

The end of the sub-operation arm 3 adopts a universal joint design, which can be connected to various required surgical actuators.
[0049] In some embodiments, the clamp-three-dimensional force sensing operation assembly 4 includes a force-sensitive elastomer array formed by four hollow elastic support beams arranged in the circumferential direction of the sub-operation arm 3 and inclined clockwise or counterclockwise. One end of the force-sensitive elastomer array is connected to the end of the sub-operation arm 3, and the other end is connected to the force sensing clamp 42 or the curet. Four first fiber Bragg gratings 429 are respectively located inside the four elastic support beams and are fixedly connected to the corresponding elastic support beams at both ends. The elastic support beams amplify the strain generated by the three-dimensional force when they interact with the digestive tract tissue and transmit it to the first fiber Bragg gratings 429. The three-dimensional force is obtained by decoupling the wavelength change of the first fiber Bragg gratings 429.

The force-sensitive sensing assembly 41 includes a force-sensitive elastomer array formed by four hollow elastic support beams arranged in the circumferential direction of the sub-operation arm 3 and inclined clockwise or counterclockwise. Four first fiber Bragg gratings 429 are respectively welded in the cavities of the four elastic support beams to decouple the three-dimensional force generated when they interact with the digestive tract tissue. The force-sensitive elastomer array at the end of the clamp support 423 adopts an oblique arrangement structure, which not only significantly reduces the overall size of the clamp, but also converts external three-dimensional force into differential strain through geometric asymmetry to enhance three-dimensional force decoupling. The oblique beam structure amplifies the strain caused by external force through the lever principle to produce a strain amplification effect and improve the force sensing sensitivity.
