The invention provides an
optical fiber force-shape sensing device and method through a
natural orifice, and relates to the technical field of
optical fiber sensing, the device comprises an operation arm mechanism, and specifically comprises a front end connecting joint, a plurality of movable joints and a
tail end connecting joint which are sequentially and rotatably connected through a ball head and a ball socket, at least one limiting bulge is distributed on the circumferential surface of the ball head, and the limiting bulge is connected with the front end connecting joint; limiting grooves in one-to-one correspondence with the limiting protrusions are formed in the ball socket, and the limiting protrusions are in sliding fit with the limiting grooves so as to limit in-situ torsion between the adjacent joints. Through mutual cooperation of the limiting grooves and the limiting protrusions, in-situ torsion is reduced,
torsional strength is improved, a shape-following embedded
optical fiber sensor integration method is provided,
shape reconstruction errors caused by movement
dislocation are reduced, and protection of optical fibers is achieved. A first driving wire, four second driving wires, two optical
fiber shape sensing modules and four optical
fiber force sensing modules are embedded in the operation arm mechanism, and real-time accurate measurement of interaction force and the bending shape of the operation arm mechanism can be achieved.
