Stereoscopic camera assembly with pitch and yaw actuation system
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11911116B2) discloses a camera assembly designed for medical applications. The assembly includes a camera support tube that passes through a trocar and houses a stereoscopic camera system. This system consists of two camera modules with independent pitch and yaw actuation assemblies, allowing for precise control of the camera orientation. The assembly also features a main camera body support with an electrical component cavity, an actuation system that can be cable or motor-driven, and the option to include peripheral cameras and lighting sources for enhanced functionality.
Furthermore, the camera assembly incorporates rotational positional sensors to detect movement about the pitch and yaw axes, along with an electrical communication component for transmitting captured information. The design ensures flexibility and durability, with features like a flexible printed circuit board, protective casing, and mechanical stops to prevent over-rotation. The assembly can transition between insertion and deployment configurations, with the ability to maintain a specific orientation even in confined spaces. Overall, the patented camera assembly offers a comprehensive solution for medical imaging, combining precision control, versatility, and robust construction to meet the demands of various medical procedures.
