A magnetically controlled vibrating drug delivery capsule robot includes a power supply, a motor, a valve magnet and a limit magnet provided internally. In a default state, an attractive force exists between the valve magnet and the limit magnet, and under an effect of the attractive force, the valve magnet blocks an outlet of a drug storage compartment. Under an effect of an external relatively strong magnetic field, the valve magnet and the limit magnet rotate, and the force therebetween transforms into a repulsive force. Since the limit magnet is limited in transverse movement by the limit compartment, the valve magnet, under an effect of the repulsive force, opens the outlet of the drug storage compartment; then, under a vibration effect of a vibration motor, a drug is released at an accelerated rate through a drug release channel.
A magnetically controlled vibrating drug delivery capsule robot, comprising a housing, and a vibration motor, a magnetically controlled component, a drug storage compartment, a limit compartment, a valve magnet, a limit magnet, and a power supply that are fixed in the housing;
