  • Patent number: 10123680
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an operation control system for spirally operating a capsule endoscope along a tubular organ, and a capsule type endoscope system comprising the same. The operation control system for a capsule endoscope of the present invention comprises: a magnetic field generation portion (100) comprising a first coil unit (110) provided on three orthogonal axes to generate a magnetic field and a second coil unit (120) comprising one coil structure for generating a magnetic field gradient; and a mechanical coil driving portion (130) for three-dimensionally rotating the second coil unit (120), thereby generating a rotating magnetic field and the magnetic field gradient. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the operation control system for a capsule endoscope by forming the rotating magnetic field and the magnetic field gradient for a spiral motion of a capsule endoscope only with a minimum coil system.

  • Patent number: 10004566
    Abstract: An electromagnetic actuating device. A coil unit generates magnetic field toward a medical device inserted into a human body. An actuator drives the coil unit to move back and forth, thereby adjusting the rate of a change in magnetic force or magnetic field applied to the medical device. The coil unit moves linearly back and forth depending on the body shape of a subject and the body part to be diagnosed, such that actuation force is efficiently supplied to the medical device.

  • Publication number: 20060209434
    Abstract: The invention provides a lens driving device capable of performing zooming and auto-focusing using a single actuator, with a simple and miniaturized structure and less power consumption. The lens driving device includes a first lens disposed movable during zooming and automatic focusing, a second lens disposed movable during zooming independently from the first lens. The lens driving device also includes a lens movement guide member, having a first guide part, and a second guide part, rotated to move the first and second lenses. An actuator is provided to move the first and second lenses, and both the first and second lenses are moved during zooming while only the first lens is finely moved during automatic focusing.

  • Publication number: 20060153556
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a focal length adjustment apparatus in which a magnetic fluid that serves as attenuation means is injected between a magnet and a coil to achieve an improvement in a magnetic flux density and damping effect. The apparatus comprises a moving unit including a lens barrel that contains at least one lens therein, and a coil arranged on an outer circumference of the lens barrel, a fixed unit including a yoke formed with an opening for receiving the lens barrel, a case into which the yoke is inserted and mounted, and a magnet affixed to the yoke to be arranged adjacent to the coil, a supporting member used to elastically support the moving unit relative to the case, and attenuation means interposed between the coil and the magnet to attenuate vibration of the moving unit.
