精准外科手术可受益于术中磁共振成像(MRI)引导。然而,MRI强磁场、快速切换梯度场及狭小空间对机器人系统提出挑战。压电驱动器可通过逆压电效应在MRI环境中使用。压电超声电机(USM)是一种兼容MRI的执行器,具备响应快、体积小、结构简单等优点。尽管压电电机多采用非铁磁材料,但梯度场仍会引发涡流,造成磁场畸变和图像伪影;同时,涡流与磁场相互作用产生的振动也会进一步恶化成像质量。本文开发了一种新型塑料压电超声电机,通过初步优化多个参数:齿数、槽宽、边缘处理方式及表面粗糙度。实验表明,48齿、0.39mm窄槽、倒角边缘、1000目砂纸抛光的组合性能最优,预压力较低时最高转速达436.6665 rpm,预压力约500g时最大扭矩达0.0348 Nm。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Precise surgical procedures may benefit from intra-operative image guidance using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the MRI's strong magnetic fields, fast switching gradients, and constrained space pose the need for an MR-guided robotic system to assist the surgeon. Piezoelectric actuators can be used in an MRI environment by utilizing the inverse piezoelectric effect for different application purposes. Piezoelectric ultrasonic motor (USM) is one type of MRI-compatible actuator that can actuate these robots with fast response times, compactness, and simple configuration. Although the piezoelectric motors are mostly made of nonferromagnetic material, the generation of eddy currents due to the MRI's gradient fields can lead to magnetic field distortions causing image artifacts. Motor vibrations due to interactions between the MRI's magnetic fields and those generated by the eddy currents can further degrade image quality by causing image artifacts. In this work, a plastic piezoelectric ultrasonic (USM) motor with more degree of MRI compatibility was developed and induced with preliminary optimization. Multiple parameters, namely teeth number, notch size, edge bevel or straight, and surface finish level parameters were used versus the prepressure for the experiment, and the results suggested that using 48 teeth, thin teeth notch with 0.39mm, beveled edge and a surface finish using grit number of approximate 1000 sandpaper performed a better output both in rotary speed and torque. Under this combination, the highest speed reached up to 436.6665rpm when the prepressure was low, and the highest torque reached up to 0.0348Nm when the prepressure was approximately 500g.
