MAGNETIC LEVITATION ENDOSCOPIC DEVICE

摘要

Endoscopic system, comprising an endoscopic device 1 moved by a magnetic levitation system comprising a first 2 and a second 3 module connected by means of a flexible joint 4 and each bearing one or more permanent magnets 21, 22, 31, 32, the second module 3 further being provided with a motor 34 for the actuation of the internal magnets 31, 32 thereof; and means 61, 62, 7 for generating a first and a second external magnetic field, adapted to respectively interact with the magnets of the first and of the second module with the aim of producing a desired magnetic field surrounding the second module 3 for an efficient working of the levitation system in orienting the second module 3 with respect to the first module 2.
