State when Fig. 5 represents for example to apply rotating excitation field by capsule 3 is applied rotating excitation field, can make magnets 16 rotations that are built in the capsule 3, capsule 3 is advanced or retreats by this rotation.
And, as shown in Figure 5, apply rotating excitation field, the utmost point of this rotating excitation field is to changing on the plane in the vertical rotating excitation field of direction (being y ' in Fig. 5) with the central shaft C of the length direction of capsule 3, make capsule 3 with in capsule 3, be fixed on the vertical direction of its length direction on magnet 16 around the rotation of its length direction, corresponding to its direction of rotation, can advance or retreat by helical form projection shown in Figure 3 12 and body cavity walls engagement.
And, in the present embodiment, can apply the oscillating magnetic field (couple produces and uses magnetic field) of the following effect of performance to capsule 3, that is, make the direction y ' of the central shaft C of the length direction of magnet 16 in Fig. 5 shake (vibration).And, when applying oscillating magnetic field, can make length direction be for example state shown in the dotted line (by its central axis direction of yz ' expression) from the change of state shown in the solid line (vibration).
Thus, capsule 3 is around the central shaft C of its length direction rotation, and the eccentric direction of this rotary middle spindle C that makes tilts.That is, can become the state of the action that torque diminishes, axle is shaken (following this action is called zigzag (zigzag) action) of spinning top under action of gravity.
Like this, make capsule 3 with the roughly the same tube chamber of the diameter of this capsule 3 in when the length direction of this tube chamber is advanced or retreat, make the rotating excitation field of capsule 3 by applying around its length direction rotation, it is moved swimmingly.
Relative therewith, in the part (with reference to Figure 10 (A)) of tube chamber bending, capsule 3 contact sweeps merely under the situation that length direction rotate, are difficult on the direction of bending mobile swimmingly sometimes.
In this case, as described above, by applying oscillating magnetic field, to act on following power: this power is along the central shaft C of the length direction of capsule 3, around the center of this central shaft C, make central shaft C rotation, thereby make capsule 3 carry out the zigzag action, the length direction when carrying out the zigzag action becomes under the state of bending direction of tube chamber, can make capsule 3 on this direction, move (, will narrate in the back) swimmingly with reference to Figure 10 (A).
In addition, in order to be controlled to desired any direction to the direction of rotating excitation field from current direct of travel, grasp the state of capsule 3 or the state of rotating excitation field by pulling stick 9 always.In the present embodiment, the state of rotating excitation field (specifically referring to the direction of rotating excitation field and the direction in magnetic field) is stored in the memory circuit 28 always.
Specifically, the index signal of the operation in the operation inputting part 8 among Fig. 2 is transfused to control circuit 27, control circuit 27 is exported the control signal that is used to produce the rotating excitation field corresponding with index signal to magnetic field control device 5, and the information of the direction in the direction of this rotating excitation field and magnetic field is stored in the memory circuit 28.
Therefore, in memory circuit 28, storing the information of the direction of rotating excitation field that produces by rotating excitation field generator 4 and the periodically variable magnetic field that forms this rotating excitation field always.
In addition, memory circuit 28 is not limited to store and the corresponding information of control signal from the direction in the direction of the rotating excitation field of control circuit 27 and magnetic field, also can be utilizing the control signal of exporting to magnetic field control device 5 from control circuit 27, produce and control part 31 and drive division 32 and the actual information of exporting to the direction in direction rotating excitation field generator 4, that be used for definite rotating excitation field and magnetic field through the alternating current of magnetic field control device 5, send to control circuit 27 from magnetic field control device 5 sides, and be stored in the memory circuit 28.
And, in the present embodiment, when beginning to apply rotating excitation field and when stopping to apply and the direction of change rotating excitation field (in other words, capsular direct of travel towards) etc. the time, be controlled to rotating excitation field is changed continuously, make capable acting on reposefully on the capsule 3, and do not have rapid masterpiece to be used on the capsule 3.
And, in the present embodiment, because the rotation of capsule 3, and the image of being taken by imaging apparatus 14 is also rotated, so when directly being presented in the display device 7 it, shown image also becomes postrotational image, and the operability that the indication towards anticipated orientation of direction input device 8b is operated reduces, so the rotation of display image is stopped.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, as Japanese Patent Application 2002-105493 number explanation, utilize data processing circuit 26 and control circuit 27 to carry out image rotating is proofreaied and correct the treatment of picture that stops for rotation.
In addition, also can be based on the directional information in magnetic field, make the image rotation, the rotation of eliminating capsule 3 shows (and, also can carry out the relevant treatment of image etc., show the rest image of predetermined direction).
And, shown in Fig. 4 (B), in the display frame 7a of display device 7, for example in circular viewing area 7b, show the rest image of taking by imaging apparatus 14, and utilize arrow 7c to represent the direction of operating of stick 9, utilize the size of arrow 7c to represent operational ton.And, utilize the Show Color of arrow 7c to represent forward/backward.
And, display frame 7a for example below show the frequency of rotating excitation field among the rotating excitation field frequency viewing area 7d in bight.
At first, the rotating excitation field of feature of the present embodiment that becomes this structure and the representativeness effect of oscillating magnetic field are described.
Fig. 6 (A) and Fig. 6 (B) expression have applied the state of oscillating magnetic field Hm.In Fig. 6 (A), by oscillating magnetic field Hm, the position that couple is represented according to arrow works like that, and this couple is rotated the magnet 16 that is fixed in capsule 3 inside in the counterclockwise direction.This force couple role is in the direction parallel with the central shaft C of capsule 3.
Like this, by oscillating magnetic field Hm, capsule 3 is subjected to being used to making the power (couple) of the direction rotation that state that this capsule 3 represents from solid line represents to double dot dash line.
And, by produce with Fig. 6 (A) be reciprocal oscillating magnetic field Hm, shown in Fig. 6 (B), the couple that effect is rotated the magnet 16 that is fixed in capsule 3 inside in the clockwise direction, the direction that the state that capsule 3 is represented from solid line is represented to double dot dash line is rotated.
And, Fig. 7 (A) expression is made as fr<fm to the relation of the frequency f m of the frequency f r of rotating excitation field Hr and oscillating magnetic field Hm, (capsule front end center) the track Tr when the front end face side of the capsule 3 under the state that has applied rotating excitation field Hr and oscillating magnetic field Hm is observed.
And Fig. 7 (B) is illustrated in the track Tr of the capsule 3 under 1/2 the state of intensity that the intensity that makes oscillating magnetic field Hm among Fig. 7 (A) is rotating excitation field Hr, and with respect to the situation of Fig. 7 (A), the angle of waving from center of rotation is 1/2 of Fig. 7 (A).
And the frequency f m that Fig. 8 (A) is illustrated in the frequency f r that makes rotating excitation field Hr among Fig. 7 (A) and oscillating magnetic field Hm equates, i.e. the track Tr of the capsule 3 under the state of fr=fm.
Under this condition, become the operating state (track Tr) that waves to a side (in Fig. 8 (A), being the left side) off-centre.
Therefore, wanting to press under the condition of enlarged effective to a thruster.
And Fig. 8 (B) is illustrated in the frequency f r that makes rotating excitation field Hr among Fig. 7 (A) and produces with 1/2 of the frequency f m of magnetic field H m, even the track Tr of the capsule 3 under the state of fr=fm/2 for vibration.
In addition, more than narrated the situation that makes oscillating magnetic field Hm cyclical movement, but also can provide oscillating magnetic field Hm as the magnetic field (fm=0, Hm ≠ 0) of not change, under this situation, the track Tr of capsule 3 is shown in Fig. 8 (C), with the final period rotation identical with the frequency f r of rotating excitation field Hr.
And, in the present embodiment, shown in Fig. 9 (A), in container 31, be full of water 32, in silicone tube 33, insert capsule 3 at its bottom side, the state of setting capsule 3 is inserted in the endoceliac pipeline carries out mimic state.
And, this container 31 is configured in the rotating excitation field generator 4 shown in Figure 1, utilize this rotating excitation field generator 4 to apply to make to the right side of the length direction (in Fig. 9 (A), being left and right directions) of silicone tube 33 and advance (advancing) and the rotating excitation field of advance to the left (retreating), and the frequency that changes oscillating magnetic field applies oscillating magnetic field, measures the time that has spent when capsule 3 has moved 2cm and calculates its translational speed.
Under this situation, the frequency of rotating excitation field is 1Hz, and its magnetic field intensity is 100Oe, and the intensity of oscillating magnetic field is 50Oe, and water level is 20cm, and the angulation of the helical form projection 12 of capsule 3 is 45 ° and forms two projections, adopts above condition to simulate.And, in the present embodiment, under the state that makes silicone tube 43 bottom right inclination a little (promptly the left side is high), simulate.That is, the right side is advance (decline), and the left side is for retreating (rising).
Its measurement result under situation about retreating shown in Fig. 9 (B), under progressive situation shown in Fig. 9 (C).According to the result of Fig. 9 (B) and Fig. 9 (C), under the situation of the frequency that makes oscillating magnetic field greater than the frequency of rotating excitation field, particularly retreat on the direction of rising under the situation about moving very effective.
And, under the condition of present embodiment,, think that about 2~10Hz compares active data to fltting speed as the frequency of oscillating magnetic field.And, think that frequency with respect to rotating excitation field is that about 2~10 times frequency of vibration is to fltting speed active data relatively.
Below, the mass action of present embodiment is described.
When utilizing capsule 3 to check that body cavity is inner, the patient swallows this capsule 3.When being inserted into endoceliac capsule 3, utilize illumination component 15 illuminations, the image of being taken by imaging apparatus 14 is passed through radio-circuit 22 be wirelessly sent to external blood processor 6 by esophagus etc.
Blood processor 6 utilizes radio-circuit 25 to receive, in (hard disk etc.) image storage apparatus in being arranged at data processing circuit 26 inside etc. of the image data storage after the demodulation, and show the processing of usefulness, and export to display device 7, show the image of taking successively by capsule 3.
Operative doctor can infer that according to the image that is presented in the display device 7 capsule 3 is currently located at endoceliac Position Approximate.For example, be in the state of taking esophagus and be under the situation of for example darker side such as small intestinal as the position of checking object being judged as, make capsule 3 advance relatively good more apace in the position halfway, (normal direction towards) becomes along the downside of patient's height under this situation, to carry out initial setting so that the direction of the rotating excitation field that is produced by magnetic field generation device 4.In addition, suppose under this situation to be located at the visual field direction that the helical form projection 12 on the capsule 3 makes a video recording with imaging apparatus 14 be the front side, form for example right-hand thread shape.
In order to produce rotating excitation field, for example under the situation of initial manipulation direction input device 8a etc., owing in memory circuit 28, there not be to store the corresponding information of state with before this rotating excitation field, so control circuit 27 starting initialization circuits 29, the setting picture that shows initial setting on display device 7 grades makes operative doctor can select to be set in the direction of the rotating excitation field that produces under the initial setting.And operative doctor becomes along the indication operation of the downside of patient's height the direction of initial generation rotating excitation field, thereby the initial generation information of rotating excitation field is stored in the memory circuit 28.
And, also can utilize initialization circuit 29 to preestablish the size (amplitude) of rotating excitation field, set for and do not produce the above rotating excitation field of this value.The set information of setting by this initialization circuit 29 is stored in the memory circuit 28.
And, stick 9 by pulling the input device 8 shown in Fig. 4 (A) and the operation of action bars 8b, control circuit 27 is read and is stored in the information in the memory circuit 28 and controls, and becomes the direction of rotating excitation field along the downside of patient's height to produce rotating excitation field, to make.That is,, produce described rotating excitation field by rotating excitation field generator 4 by magnetic field control device 5 according to the information of reading from memory circuit 28.
Like this, by from the external rotating excitation field that applies, effect magnetic moment of torsion on the built-in magnet 16 in being inserted into endoceliac capsule 3, make capsule 3 rotations, at this moment, under the state that makes the endoceliac inwall of helical form projection 12 contacts on the outer peripheral face that is arranged at capsule 3, make screw thread rotation, thereby can advance fast.
And, in memory circuit 28, storing state (direction of rotating excitation field and the direction in the magnetic field) information of rotating excitation field always, also storing in the status information that stops to apply the rotating excitation field under the state of rotating excitation field.
And, when applying the operation of rotating excitation field once more,, produce rotating excitation field identical when stopping the rotation magnetic field according to the information that is stored in the memory circuit 28 next time.
Like this, capsule 3 is advanced along endoceliac pipeline, but for example shown in Figure 10 (A), in narrower and small tube chamber 41, under the situation that has narrower and small and crooked bending section 42, merely rely on rotating excitation field, can not effectively advance along bending section 42 sometimes.
In this case, shown in Fig. 7 (A) etc., apply oscillating magnetic field, on capsule 3, act on couple again, can make capsule 3 carry out the zigzag action of Rolling around the axle of its length direction thus with rotating excitation field.
Wave effect by this, shown in the dotted line among Figure 10 (A), can push the tube chamber part that enlarges bending section 42, and towards the state of the bending direction of bending section 42 time, advance to this direction.
And Figure 10 (B) is illustrated in the effect when effectively advancing in the wide tube chamber of the external diameter of capsule 3 41.
Shown in Figure 10 (B), in the time will in the tube chamber 41 wideer, advancing capsule 3 than the external diameter of capsule 3, iff applying rotating excitation field to capsule 3 merely, then shown in Figure 10 (C) or Figure 10 (D), the outer peripheral face of capsule 3 (being located at the helical form projection 12 on this outer peripheral face) is less with the mate (occlusion portion) of tube chamber 41 inner faces, so idle running easily, gait of march is slack-off easily.
In addition, the state when looking A observation of Figure 10 (D) expression from Figure 10 (C), under the situation of merely rotation, its posture change is little, because idle running reduces the performance of advancing.
In this case, shown in Fig. 7 (A) etc., by applying oscillating magnetic field with rotating excitation field, shown in Figure 10 (B), make capsule 3 carry out oscillating motion, it is big that the actual effect external diameter of the capsule 3 under the rocking action state becomes, and its direct of travel is also periodically changed, even under the situation of the tube chamber 41 of broad, also can enlarge the mate with its inwall, can advance effectively.
And, shown in Figure 10 (B), by carrying out rocking action (zigzag action), can advance capsule 3 effectively on the internal diameter tube chamber 41 partially stabilized ground bigger than the external diameter of capsule 3, and by the zigzag action, can enlarge image pickup scope in fact, take tube chamber 41 inwalls in a wider context.
In addition, as mentioned above in the present embodiment, shown in Fig. 4 (B), utilize arrow 7c to represent direction of operating of stick 9 etc., the indication that can in captured image, capsule 3 be advanced on which direction.And corresponding to this direction indication, magnetic field generation device 4 produces the rotating excitation field that capsule 3 is advanced on this direction.
Control circuit 27 calculates the processing of the generation direction of rotating excitation field at this moment, by magnetic field control circuit 5, and the rotating excitation field that rotating excitation field generator 4 produces corresponding to direction indication.
Below, the generation action of the rotating excitation field that describes this moment in detail.

Herein, the current phase place in the trigonometric function is expressed as follows, and adopts below.
α(t+Ts)=α(t)+2πTsfm(t)
β(t+Ts)=β(t)+2πTsfr(t)
Figure 12 is the key diagram of new direction calculating of capsule 3 of having imported direction when indication of capsule 3.
Under state shown in Figure 12, suppose as shown by arrows, indicated the capsule direction indication (becoming the angle direction of angle γ with y ' axle) that changes its direct of travel at (central axis direction is x's ') capsule 3.
Under this situation, make coordinate system become the direction of rotating excitation field around direction with the postrotational new x ' axle of the vertical rotary middle spindle p of capsule direction indication.
This rotation is calculated and can be realized by the following stated.
(1) with x ' axle be the center-rotation (arrow among Figure 12 (1)) of γ
(2) with z ' axle be the rotation (arrow among Figure 12 (2)) of the δ at center
(3) with x ' axle be the rotation (arrow among Figure 12 (3)) of the γ at center
Wherein, the input quantity Vy ' that δ represents stick 9 (t), Vz ' (t),
V(t)=((Vy′(t) 2+(Vz′(t) 2) 1/2
δ(t)=C×V(t)
γ=sin -1(Vz′(t)/V(t))
Thus, around the transformation matrix that rotary middle spindle p carries out δ (t) rotation, use and operation (1), (2), (3) corresponding spin matrix R γ X ', R δ (t) Z ', R X ', become
R δ(t) p=R γ x′R δ(t) z′R x′
Wherein, utilize the spin matrix of formula 1 expression around each rotation.

R γ ( t ) x ′ = 1 0 0 0 cos γ - sin γ 0 sin γ cos γ
R δ ( t ) z ′ = cos δ ( t ) - sin δ ( t ) 0 sin δ ( t ) cos δ ( t ) 0 0 0 1
R - γ ( t ) x ′ = 1 0 0 0 cos γ sin γ 0 - sin γ cos γ
Thus, by using these spin matrixs, the magnetic field that newly applies becomes the magnetic field that utilizes following formula 2 represented.
Formula 2
Hx ′ ( t + Ts ) Hy ′ ( t + Ts ) Hz ′ ( t + Ts ) = R γ ( t ) x ′ R δ ( t ) x ′ R - γ ( t ) x ′ Hx ′ ( t + Ts ) | v ( t ) = 0 Hy ′ ( t + Ts ) | v ( t ) = 0 Hz ′ ( t + Ts ) | v ( t ) = 0
Wherein, Hx ' is (t+Ts) | V (t)=0, Hy ' (t+Ts) | V (t)=0, Hz ' (t+Ts) | V (t)=0Be respectively x ', the y ' at V (t)=0 o'clock t+Ts place, the magnetic field of z ' direction.
On the other hand, the magnetic field that is produced by three Helmholtz coils becomes (Hx (t) Hy (t) Hz (t)) when moment t.
And, when using the direction of ψ (t), θ (t) expression capsule 3, become as shown in Figure 13.When the magnetic field side also when x ', y ', z ' are transformed to this x, y, z coordinate system, when moment t+Ts, become formula 3.
Formula 3
Hx ( t + Ts ) Hy ( t + Ts ) Hz ( t + Ts ) = R ψ ( t ) z R δ ( t ) y Hx ′ ( t + Ts ) Hy ′ ( t + Ts ) Hz ′ ( t + Ts )
Hx ( t + Ts ) Hy ( t + Ts ) Hz ( t + Ts ) = R ψ ( t ) z R θ ( t ) y R γ ( t ) x ′ R δ ( t ) z ′ R γ ( t ) x ′ Hx ′ ( t + Ts ) Hy ′ ( t + Ts ) Hz ′ ( t + Ts )
Wherein, the R in the formula 3 (t) z, R 0 (t) yExpression with around the angle ψ of the z of Figure 13 axle (t), around the corresponding spin matrix of rotary manipulation of the angle θ of y axle (t).
Calculate by repeating these, can calculate the magnetic field that produces from the outside.
Generally, the magnetic field of coil generation can be expressed as:
H=I·N
H: magnetic field, N: coefficient, I: electric current
So the control electric current I, promptly I=H/N gets final product.
When the coefficient N of three Helmholtz coils was made as Nx, Ny, Nz respectively, electric current I x (t), the Iy (t), the Iz (t) that flow through coil can utilize formula 4 expressions.
Formula 4
Ix ( t ) Iy ( t ) Iz ( t ) = Hx ( t ) / Nx Ny ( t ) / Ny Hz ( t ) / Nz
About capsular directional information,
(1) under situation,, uses θ (t), ψ (t) according to the testing result of position detection unit with locality detecting unit.Locality unit (pick off) as this moment can use the AURORA of NDI corporate system etc.
(2) when not having position probing, input θ (0), ψ (0) (initial value) carry out.
When asking the direction X (t) of capsule 3 after this, Y (t), Z (t), the direction that wushu 5 is defined as capsule 3 gets final product.
Formula 5
X ( t + Ts ) Y ( t + Ts ) Z ( t + Ts ) = R ψ ( t ) z R θ ( t ) y R γ ( t ) x ′ R δ ( t ) z ′ R - γ ( t ) x ′ 1 0 0

And, in the present embodiment, as shown in figure 25, be formed at the helical form jut 143 on the outer surface of capsule body 141, its front extends to the side that undergauge is a semi-spherical shape through the cylinder outer peripheral face, its end 143a is formed on the part midway that undergauge is a semi-spherical shape, specifically is formed on the position in the angle of visibility that does not enter object lens 121.And it is hemispheric boundary vicinity that the rear end 143b of this helical form jut 143 extends to undergauge.In addition, in the example of Figure 25, helical form jut 143 also is provided with helical form jut 143 on the centre position of a helical form jut 143, and forms dual (two) jut.
Like this, in the present embodiment, helical form jut 143 is set on the outer surface of capsule 103, and one end thereof 143a is formed up near the position, end that arrives reducing diameter part.Promptly, be characterised in that on the cylinder outer peripheral face part of capsule body 141 and also form this helical form jut 143, and end 143a forms and extends to the radius for example dome shape part of undergauge of comparing cylinder, arrives the boundary position in the angle that do not come into view.
Like this, by helical form jut 143 being arranged to arrive near the end of capsule body 141, as described below, can improve propulsion functions.
Figure 27 represents to adopt near the structure this end of helical form jut 143 being arranged to reach capsule body 141 to measure the tank that fltting speed is used.Under the state of (contour structures) sample (being made as the 1st sample) in the silicone tube that is inserted into simulation tube chamber internal organs with capsule 103 of present embodiment, be inserted in this tank, from above add under entry applies hydraulic pressure to pipe the state (for example water level is 20cm), apply rotating excitation field from the outside, for example make sample move 2cm, measure its fltting speed.
And, for only being formed at, helical form projection in the 1st sample relatively uses sample (being made as the 2nd sample) on the barrel surface part, also measured fltting speed with the same terms.Figure 28 represents the profile of the 1st sample.In addition, the 2nd sample is in the 1st sample shown in Figure 28, only is provided with the helical form projection on cylindrical portions may.
The measurement result that Figure 29 (A), Figure 29 (B) expression uses these samples to obtain.Marking and drawing its meansigma methods after measurement result shown in Figure 29 (A), Figure 29 (B) is carried out 10 times obtains.And, be to carry out under the condition of 0.5Hz, 1Hz, 5Hz in the frequency of rotating excitation field.
And, suppose that fltting speed and frequency are proportional, utilize method of least square to depict and be similar to collinear line.
Figure 29 (A) represents identical experimental result with the scale that Figure 29 (B) changes frequency, speed.The data of representing with circle are data that the sample (in Figure 29 abbreviate do not have front end for simplification) that utilizes front end that the helical form projection is not set obtains in addition, and the data of representing with triangle are data that the sample that utilizes front end also to be provided with the helical form projection obtains.And, the frequency till in Figure 29 (A), representing 5Hz, the situation of speed, Figure 29 (B) amplifies the measurement result of representing till the 1Hz.
According to these measurement data, we can say that near the situation that the helical form projection is not set situation that the helical form projection is set to the end always and the end compares, fltting speed is big, is approximately 1.4 times of the latter.This helical form projection that can be described as the end helps to produce propulsive force.
Other characteristic effects of the capsule 103 of present embodiment are described with reference to Figure 30 (A), Figure 30 (B) in addition.
Shown in Figure 30 (A), Figure 30 (B), for example suppose in the tube chamber internal organs 155 of bending, in the time of need on its crooked direction, advancing, shown in Figure 30 (B), if only on cylindrical portions may, be provided with the capsule 103 of helical form jut ', even then rotation, helical form jut also are difficult for the jog engagement with the gauffer of the internal face of tube chamber internal organs etc., be difficult to advance swimmingly.
In this state, in the present embodiment, shown in Figure 30 (A), because helical form jut 143 is formed near the end behind the undergauge always, so when rotated, by be formed into always near its end helical form jut 143 and with the jog engagement of the internal face of tube chamber internal organs, can advance capsule 103 more swimmingly.
Like this, in the present embodiment, it is characterized in that, the helicoidal structure body also is set near the end of undergauge, helical form projection 143 specifically is set, by this capsule 3 is rotated driving, propulsive force can be improved, the target site side can be arrived at short notice, and under the situation of the pipeline of bending, also can be by near the helical form projection 43 that is formed at the end, advance more swimmingly along the pipeline of bending.
The action of the capsule guiding system 101 that is provided with helical form jut 143 then, is described below.
As shown in figure 22, observe the body cavity pipeline of patient 102 for example duodenum 151 sides or small intestinal side etc. when inner at needs, the operator allows patient 102 152 swallow capsule 103 from the oral cavity.
In addition, at this moment, the operator is being about to allow before patient 102 swallows, and connects the on-off circuit 149 of capsule 103 in advance, and the electric power of battery 129 is delivered to illumination component 123 etc.Meanwhile, the operator starts (connection) magnetic field generation device 105, utilizes the rotating excitation field that is produced by this magnetic field generation device 105, carries out magnetic control and makes capsule 103 arrive the target site side easily in the body cavity pipeline.
As mentioned above,, do the time spent in 108 pairs of rotating excitation fields generations that produce by magnetic field generation device 105 of magnet for capsule 103, by the effect that this magnet 108 is subjected to, capsule body 141 rotations.And when capsule body 141 contact cavity walls, the frictional force between the mucosa of this body cavity walls and the helical form jut 143 is converted into big propulsive force, thereby capsule 103 advance and retreat move.And capsule 103 is along with the rotation of rotating excitation field, change direct of travel in capsule body 141 rotations (towards), make that the Plane of rotation of magnet 108 is consistent with the Plane of rotation of rotating excitation field.
At this moment, for capsule 103, can in tube chamber, pipeline, head for target position side advance capsule body 141 swimmingly.
Capsule 103 is swallowed by patient 102,152 arrives stomaches 154 inside by esophagus 153 from the oral cavity thus.
And when needs were observed stomach 154 inside, the operator carried out the key input corresponding with observing initiation command from for example keyboard 112 of control device 104.Thereby, the control signal that forms by the input of this key through the external antenna 114 of control device 104, utilize electric wave to launch, send to capsule 103 sides.
Capsule 103 detects the work commencing signal according to the signal that is received by antenna 127, and illumination component 123, imaging apparatus 122, signal processing circuit 124 etc. become driving condition.
Illumination component 123 penetrates illumination light to the visual field of object lens 121 direction, the optical image of the field range of illuminated part images on the imaging apparatus 122 on the image space that is configured in object lens 121, and carry out opto-electronic conversion, carry out the A/D conversion by signal processing circuit 124, after carrying out Digital Signal Processing, compress processing, be stored in the memorizer 125, modulate by radio-circuit 126 then, utilize electric wave to launch from antenna 127.
This electric wave is received by the external antenna 114 of control device 104, and demodulation in the radio-circuit in personal computer main body 111 131, carry out the A/D conversion again, be converted to the video signal of numeral by data processing circuit 132, store in the memorizer or hard disk 116 of data processing circuit 132, and read with predetermined speed, the optical imagery of on monitor 113 imaging apparatus 122 being taken carries out colour and shows.
The operator can observe patient 102 stomach 154 inside etc. by observing this image.Observing the operating units such as stick that use input device 109 when this observes image, can easily control the mode that applies of outside magnetic force, so that can observe the Zone Full in the stomach 154.
In addition, after the observation of stomach 154 inside finishes, can control the direction of the rotating excitation field that produces by magnetic field generation device 105, thus to capsule 103 carry out magnetic guiding make its from stomach 154 to duodenum 151 side shiftings.And, in duodenum 151, also can capsule 103 be advanced along the direction of its tube chamber, thereby advance capsule 103 swimmingly by the direction of control rotating excitation field.
And, when in pipeline crooked as small intestinal, advancing, as explanation among Figure 30 (A), because helical form projection 143 is formed near the dome shape end of capsule body 141 always, so can make capsule 103 smooth and easy advancing in the pipeline of bending.
Like this,, can advance capsule 103 swimmingly, check the required time, and can alleviate operative doctor and patient's burden and fatigue etc. so can shorten according to present embodiment.
And the capsule 103 of present embodiment does not carry out useless moving, and introduction by magnetic field efficient correspondingly improves, and has the effect of the magnet 108 that can make in the capsule body 141 and external electric magnet 105a~105c miniaturization.
(the 5th embodiment)
Below, with reference to Figure 31 the 5th embodiment of the present invention is described.Figure 31 represents the capsule 103B of the 5th embodiment of the present invention.In the capsule 103 in the 4th embodiment, make the rear end 143b of helical form jut 143 be in the anterior position of the rear end that arrives capsule body 103, but the rear end 143b that this capsule 103B then makes helical form jut 143 extend and is formed near the end of capsule body 141 to rear side more.
Other structures are identical with capsule 103 in the 4th embodiment.
As the effect and the effect of present embodiment, under situation about moving rearward, also can move efficiently, and under the situation that the rear side to bending moves, also can move swimmingly.
Figure 32 represents the capsule 103C of the 1st variation.Profile with respect to capsule 103B shown in Figure 31 is roughly semi-spherical shape, thereby the external diameter of this capsule 103C forms the leaf roll shape from front end to the rear end smooth change.
Because the external diameter of this capsule 103C from front end to the rear end smooth change, so have the property inserted good effect and effect.
Figure 33 represents the capsule 103D of the 2nd variation.In capsule 3D shown in Figure 33, the profile of its capsule body 141 is: the two ends undergauge that forms the cylindrical portion of central part is the tapering 161 of taper (cone shape).And front and rear end side form picture plane as cutting off.
Because drive end bearing bracket side and rearward end side undergauge are taper, so the property inserted is good.And, owing to the shape that forms as looking like to cut off, so can realize miniaturization.
Figure 34 represents the capsule 103E of the 3rd variation.Capsule 103E shown in Figure 34 is among the capsule 103D in Figure 33, be not that leading section and rearward end are formed is plane, but slyness becomes roughly dome shape.
That is, in this capsule 103E, the profile of capsule body 141 is: the cylindrical portion two ends undergauge that forms central part is the tapering 161 of taper (cone shape).And the end of front and rear end side is roughly dome shape.
It is taper that this variation makes drive end bearing bracket side and rearward end side undergauge, so the property inserted is good.
Figure 35 represents the capsule 103F of the 4th variation.In capsule 103F shown in Figure 35, for the helical form projection 143 on the outer surface that is formed at capsule body 141, for example form the spacing b of projection 143 and be formed at the external diameter front little and the spacing a and the c of the projection 143 of rear end side on partly are equidistant from distance, promptly set a=b=c for than it at the helically on the external diameter the best part of central part.
Like this, fix by the spacing that makes the helical form projection 143 on the outer surface that is formed at capsule 103F, thereby under the situation about being pushed in capsule 103F rotation and with the concavo-convex engagement of the internal face of tube chamber internal organs, because can think the concavo-convex almost fixed of internal face of tube chamber internal organs, so can advance capsule 103 effectively.
And, because spacing fixes, thus make man-hour feed fixing adding with respect to rotating to be of lathe, thus can make handling ease, and can be with the low cost manufacturing.And the feed in one week of partial rotation that the feed in one week of partial rotation that diameter is less and diameter are bigger is identical, so capsule 103F integral body can produce thrust effectively.
In addition, can also form the 5th variation of the following stated.
Aforesaid each capsule 103B etc. is the cordless type that does not have line or pipe at the rear portion, but also can form what the rearward end (opposition side of drive end bearing bracket 39) of this capsule 103B etc. was installed the pliability pipe that can rotate freely rope type capsule medical apparatus is arranged.
Under this situation, the propelling by making the helicoidal structure body and the push-and-pull of pipe combine, and have the effect that can make capsule medical apparatus more effectively advance or retreat.
