Abstract
A robot for scanning using an ultrasonic probe includes a holding portion configured to hold the ultrasonic probe, a first slide mechanism connected to the holding portion and configured to slide the holding portion in an axial direction of a first axis intersecting with the ultrasonic probe, and a first rotation mechanism connected to the holding portion and configured to rotate the holding portion around the first axis.
Claims5
A robot for scanning using an ultrasonic probe, the robot comprising:
- a holding portion configured to hold the ultrasonic probe;
- a first slide mechanism connected to the holding portion and configured to slide the holding portion in an axial direction of a first axis intersecting with the ultrasonic probe;
- and
- a first rotation mechanism connected to the holding portion and configured to rotate the holding portion around the first axis.
- wherein the first slide mechanism and the first rotation mechanism are arranged coaxially along the first axis and share a single ball screw spline shaft, the first slide mechanism being configured to generate linear motion of the holding portion along the first axis, and the first rotation mechanism being configured to generate rotational motion of the holding portion about the first axis independently of the linear motion.
